The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-03-01

A story is being told which sheds an
interesting light on the marvellous
foresight and precaution that charac-
terized the preparations of the Japan
csc for the present war, says the
Philadelphia Press. Some years ago a
Japanese agent came to Philadelphia
with a letter of introduction to
prominent Philadelphian who had
travelled in japan.
This Philadelphia tells the story.
The letter was written by a Japan
csc official who knew the Philadel-
phian. and it stated that if he would
help the bearer in what he desired the
favor would be greatly appreciated
The favor was for the Philadelphia
to simply introduce the agent to a
first-class firm of detectives. This
was done and the agent described as
responsible person. He had plenty
of money and a bargain was made
with the firm, the latter to receivers
large sum of money. .....
The detectives were required to
dress in the clothes of laborers and
secure work in Cramps shipyard and
then to gather full information about
the Russian battleship Variag, then in
early course of construction. This
they did and the japanese government
was supplied with every detail in the
construction and armament of - the
Variag. The officials at Cramps do
not yet know exactly how the Japs
obtained it.

Jumped ON the New Yorker.

A New Yorker blew into town Sunday
night, and after telling all he knew,
which took him about five minutes, VEN
tured to remark that he liked Philadel-
phia, but it was too slow, says the
Philadelphia Telegraph.
Yes" said one of his hearers, "it is
slow. You see, it's waiting for New
York to catch up. We had centennial
exposition here in &c, and we got it out
on time, and made it pay, too, but that
is mere incident. Chicago had a show
in '93 which was exactly one year be-
hind the date. New Orleans followed
with an exposition that was f1uke, be-
sides being a year behind, and here is
ST. Louis doing the same thing. Yes,
we're Slow
Well" said the New Yorker, what
you say is true though it hadn't oe-
CURED to me before, but if New York
got up a show you can bet it would
come around on time or a little be-
FORE
Yes, it would" said the Philadel-
phian. II remember very we'll how
New York tried to get Congress to have
the worlds exposition of 1892 in cele-
bration of the discovery of America
located on Manhattan Island. They
talked and talked and talked, and that's
all they did do. Chicago sent men
down to Washington who brought the
show home with them, while New
Workers were asking each other What
shall we do to get it Yes, were
slow, but New York isn't so swift,

Hard Horse 40. Ride.

Not long ago a negro Bishop sof, the
Methodist Episcopal Church began a
revival series of meetings in Virginia,
says the New York Times. In the
front pew, of the church sat an old
time darby with gold-rimmed glasses,
White hair. and an air which attested
his long experience in the world and
his wisdom thereof.
May the Lord preserve us from the
temptation to steal" exhorted the
Bishop.
The old man brought his cane down
heavily on the floor and encouraged
the Bishop with the injunction Ride

Keep us from slandering our neigh

flock

old man. efg

The absence of the encouraging re-
Spouse was distinctly noticeable.
From the demon, drink, preserve

There was no answer.

ver?" finally asked the Bishop, for the
entire congregation was puzzled.

Bankruptcy is a word that means
the limit of financial misfortune to
most business men, but it isn't the
limit by any means; says the Louis
vile Courier-Journal This truth was
brought out most forcibly yesterday in
the office of Henry F. Cassin, United
States commissioner.
Mr.. Cassin was approached by a man
whose tailor-made garments had
grown slippery in. some spots and fraz-
zled in others. He wore a careworn ex-
preston and the need of haircut on
his face.
Is this the place to institute bank
ruptcy proceedings?" asked the man.
1T is" said Mr.. Cassin.
WELL I want to file a petition. I
have been in business for several
years and have made an awful mess
of it,
The proceedings will cost you about
$95," said Mr.. Cassin. ~

Sorry then, but we can't do any

II l thought it was possible to be too

said the applicant as he turned up his
coat collar and made for the door.

A year ago Rev. Madison C. Peters

where they were obliged to wait for a

NOT MUCH HEARST SENTIMENT

If the sentiment in the Democratic
Executive Committee of this state re-
speeding candidates for the presiden-
tial nomination is an indication of the
sentiment among Georgia Democrats
Mr.. Hearst hasn't much ground for
expecting to get the Georgia delega-
ton. There have been reports that he
has agents at work in many parts of
the state and that they have succeeded
in creating a great deal of sentiment
for him, but it is doubtful if the
Hearst sentiment is anywhere near as
great as it has been represented to be
either in Georgia or in any other state.
1t is difficult to see how Mr.. Hearst
could expect to have much support
anywhere for the great office to which
he aspires. He is practically UNI
known man. OF course in some cities
he is known to newspaper men and
some of the public men in Washington
and New York know him, but the
fact that he owns half a dozen or more
newspapers makes no more impression
on the public than If he owned half
dozen or more department stores. He
may be an excellent business man. but
he has never given any indication eth
er in his newspapers or elsewhere
that he is well posted in regard to pub
lie affairs.
The attitude of Mr.. Hearst's news
papers in labor matters and on ques-
tions pertaining to trusts hasn't had
the effect of making him known. If
in connection with his papers he had
been before the people as Mr.. Bryan
has, the impression of him would be
very different from what it is.
1t may be that Mr.. Hearst is expect
ing the support of the Bryan senti-
ment. In that case the poll that was
made of the members of the State
Democratic Executive Committee at
Atlanta yesterday must have been dis
appointing to him and his agents.
Pretty nearly all of them expressed a
preference for a candidate not in har-
mony with the position occupied by
Mr.. Bryan. There didn't seem to be
much Bryan sentiment.
If Mr. Hearst has much strength it
is about time for him to show 1t.
There are no indications yet that he
has a following in his own state.
Without support there he can hardly
hope for much support in other states.

CoTToN ouT or FIRsT HANDS.

In this section of Georgia the farm
ers are not greatly interested in the
price of cotton at present. A gentle
man who travels over the counties of
the First congressional district, and
also over number of counties of an
adjoining district. says that the farm
ers OF the counties in question have no
cotton, all OF them having marketed it
at what they consider very satisfac-
tory prices. With them money is
easy. and, hence, they are paying
whatever financial obligations they
have and are planting for another crop
with the belief that the present year
will be a prosperous one.
There is still some cotton in the in
terror. but it is held in the larger
towns by regular cotton buyers, who
are confident that in the course of a
few weeks it will command a higher
price than that which prevails at
present.
Our informant noticed one thing
which he considered a good sign,
namely, that the farmers are. not in
creasing their cotton acreage. They
are satisfied, apparently, that the di-
versified crop policy. which they
adopted when the price of cotton was
very low, is good one to adhere to.
Therefore they win continue to give.
fair share of their time and attention
to the growing of grain and hay and
the raising of hogs.
While the price of cotton may con-
tinue high, it is hardly probable it will
be as high next season as it is this,
but even IL it should be as high they
would not be any better. off at the end
of the season il they had to purchase
all their supplies than they would be
If they produced their supplies at
home. There is no doubt a great
temptation to return to the Affection
system when the price of cotton is
fourteen, or even twelve, cents a
pound, but. all things considered. the
best results are to be obtained by ad-
herring to the diversified system of
farming.
One thing the farmers do not fully
appreciate yet is that there is much
more money in planting small acre
age of good land than a large acreage
OF poor land. In other words, it
doesn't cost any more to cultivate land
that will produce a bale of cotton to
the acre than II does to cultivate land
that will produce only a third of a
bale. The surest and best way to i'm
prove land is TO diversity crops-to
produce grain and hay and raise stock
Cotton should be the money crop and
the other crops should assist in keep
ing up the fertility of the land
The gentleman who furnished the In
formation relative TO the prosperous
condition of the farmers in the coun-
ties in the First congressional dis
trict says that he is making large
sales of goods and that collections are
good. No better evidence is needed
that the farmers of lower Georgia. are
in a prosperous condition, and there
isn't much doubt that it is their in
tention to pursue a policy in their
farming operations that will enable
them to continue to be prosperous.

North Carolina, we believe. is the
only state in which capital punishment
continues to be inflicted in public. In
the town of Whiteville. in that state,
the other day a young white man was
hanged for an atrocious murder. The
case was a notable one. and interest
in ii had spread over a considerable
area of adjacent country. On the day
before the hanging people began TO
arrive in town to witness the culminat-
ing act Of the tragedy. The Raleigh OBJ
server says: More than 1000 people,
men, women and children and babes
in arms, jostled each other in crowds
to see the condemned man launched
into eternity. and many had Travelled
in wagons all night to see the show!
God pity us If this is the test of our
civilization 1t was a manifestation
of the abnormal in the human mind,
to be sure; and yet we have reason to
believe that Columbus county, in
which the incident occurred. is one of
the most God-fearing and law-abiding
sections of North Carolina, and that
it will compare favorably with about
any other section of the country in
morality and respect of human
rights. We favor private execut-
ions, yet recognized that there
is room for argument to the
effect that public executions serve to
impress the criminally inclined with
the majesty and power of the law. In
South Carolina executions are private;
in North Carolina they are public. We
think the records will show more
murders, lynchings and other crimes
Of violence in the former state than
in the latter We do not mean to say
that this is because of the difference
in methods of procedure in capital
punishment. but merely to note the CO.
existing facts.

a newspaper reporter that he was not

spoiled one vacation for him by re-

he did not propose to give them
chance to repeat the trick. And yet
there appears among the Worlds ca
bles on Sunday one from Monte Carlo
which says: Charles NJ. Schwab, for

the bank at one of the tables here to-
day. Mr.. Schwab has been doing
