THE FORT sCREvEN GARDENS.

We have no doubt that the people of
this city were surprised that gardens
we're being cultivated so successfully
at Fort Screven. From the account of
them which we published yes
terdaY 1t would seem that the amount
Of ground under cultivation is very
small, but the yield has been so large
that the soldiers have had pretty
plentiful supply of potatoes, corn, to-
matoes, beans, okra, cantaloupes and
other things usually grown in gardens
in this section.
1t is stated that the gardens at the
post will be conducted on a much
ton will be given to many kinds of
vegetables not cultivated this year As
far as we can see, there is no reason
why the soldiers shouldn't grow on the
island all the vegetables they need;
also fruits of various kinds. We called
attention the other day to some very
fine peaches that were grown on
Tybee, and we are sure that figs would
thrive there. If the soldiers will put
out few cuttings of fig trees next fall
in year or two they will have an
abundance of this desirable fruit. And
why shouldn't they cultivate berries,
particularly blackberres? The culti-
walton of this berry is attended with
great success in other parts of the
county.

and with a small amount of labor the
soldiers at Fort Screven can have as
good If not better table than is to be
found at any other army post. And
the work that is necessary to be done
to make really fine gardens is so little
that it amounts to no more than good
exercise.
And in this connection it might be
suggested that many people in this city
have yard space sufficient to grow
peaches are to be had in what is called
the peach section of this state than
have been grown in this city this year
One gentleman stated to the Morning
News yesterday that from trees that
had cost him $1.2O, he had this year
gathered during a period OF three
weeks, enough peaches to supply his
family and to make handsome gifts of
the fruit to his friends and neighbors.
1t is astonishing what excellent results
can be obtained from fruit trees in this
city by a small outlay Of capital and
labor.

It is worthy of note that Mr. William
Waldorf Astor's daughter, Pauline, is
not going to marry a nobIeman-a
spendthrift duke, a rundown earl or a
debauched marquis. The man of her
choice, and her famiIy's, is a common
or, man of good, red blood and hard
muscles, whose father was trades
man. That the young woman could
have married into the nobility goes
without saying, since she has good
looks and great fortune The critics
Of Mr.. Aston have for years been alleg-
ing that he was trying to break into
the circle of the British nobility, which
various stories have alleged he would
accomplish through the marriage of his
daughter. That Miss Astor has chosen
man, rather than title, shows her
TO be possessed of that common sense
which augurs happiness for her in the
future: and that her father has given
his consent to her marriage with the
man is pretty good evidence that he is
not the cad that the New York news
papers have delighted to call him for
some years.

THE CAMPAIGN WONT HURT BUsI-
NESS


There is no doubt that the presiden-
tial campaign is going to be a vigor-
Gus one, but there is satisfaction
throughout the country in the thought
that it will not disturb business. 1t
is true that some of the Republican
papers are trying to create the i'm
preston that the gold standard would
be endangered by the election of Judge
Parker, but no attention is being paid
to what they say on that subject. 1t
is understood that they are trying to
say something that would help the
cause of Mr.. Roosevelt. In the first
place there isn't the least probability,
even if the Democrats should get con-
troll of the House of Representatives.
that silver legislation would be pro-
posed, for the reason that the great
majority of Democrats are now salts
fed with the gold standard. In the
second place. if the House should pass
a bill favorable to silver it would meet
with no encOura cement in the Senate
if, rs the Republicans claim, the Re-
publicans are against any sort of sill
yer legislation, because the Senate will
be in control of the Republicans for
the next four years at least. And, in
addition to the foregoing, Judge Par
ker has announced that he regards the
gold standard as irrevocably fixed, and
that if his nomination should be rati-
fed by the people he would veto any
measure coming to him which dis
turbed the gold standard.
The Democratic party is committed
to a revision of the tariff. but there is
no possibility of making a revision I'M
houses of Congress. AS already stated,
the Senate Will be Republican for at
least four. years.
The business world, therefore, isn't
being disturbed by the campaign.
Great business interests are being con-
Quoted just as if the presidential cleo
ton were not rapidly approaching. The
real issue of the campaign-the issue
about which the people are more con-
cerned than any other-is Roosevelt
ism. There is a feeling that Mr.. Roose-
welt isn't fit man to be at the head
of the government-that is, that he is
so erratic that the public mind is all
the while haunted by the fear that
he will do something that will bring
about trouble. The chief issue in the
campaign, therefore, will be Roosevelt
ism. But the fight on the President
for his lack Of judgment will not dis
turb business. The absence of appre-
hension that the outcome of the cam
paign will be followed by business de-
preston will have a tendency to in
crease the intensity of the campaign,
because the people viii exert them
selves to the utmost to elect their
favorite candidate.

THE PROPOSED DIsrENsARY TAX.

The counties which have dispensaries
don't want to give up any part of
their profits to the state. That isn't
at all surprising. but shouldn't they
be required to do so? II seems to us
they should. Their plea that they sell
only the best Of goods and charge for
them but a small advance on cost has
no bearing on the question. Here in
Chatham county. for instance. each
keeper Of a barroom is taxed not only
for his stock of goods. but also for
license. In other words. the people who
drink whisky help to support the state
government and the public schools.
Why shouldn't people IN the dispen-
ssry counties who drink whisky help
to support the state government and
the public schools? The only differ
ence between these counties In so far as
the whisky question is concerned. Is
the system OF distributing the stun.
II is true. Of course. that the dispen-
saries are run under greater restric-
lions than saloons are. but the facts
are Probably that about anybody who

MeLENDox AND the STATE ROAD.


MeLENDON AND THE STATE ROAD.
The letter of Hon. S. G. McLendon to
the Governor, respecting the danger of
depreciation in value OF the Western
and Atlantic Railroad owing to the
probability Of its being paralleled by
the Louis and Nashville Railroad,
seems to have become the subject of a
good deal of talk, political and other
wise. Therel is no doubt that Mr. Nc
Tendon is very much in earnest in the
matter, and thinks some action for the
protection of the states property
should be taken Immediately. The Gov
ernor has promised to lcok into 1t. In
the meantime there are many sugges-
tons as to what should be done Ito pro-
tect the state against possible loss.
Some suggest that the state road
ought ebe sold and the money applied
to the payment of the states bonded
obligations. Others are of the opinion
that the road ought to be extended to
the sea by means of convict labor 1t
seems to us that the first thing to be
done us to see how much ground there
is for apprehension that the road Is to
be parallel. and, if so. to what extent
1t would be injured. The best way to
get this information is to appoint a
committee of not more than three of
the ablest members of the Legisla-
ture-members who have no interest
in any of the railroads in the state-to
find out just what the danger is by
which the state road is threatened. and
how imminent 1t is. When the facts
are known, the exact facts, it will be
much easier to form an opinion as to
what would be the best course to pur-
sue in order to avert the danger. or at
least save Ehe state from loss.
We are sure that 1T would be a mis-
take to' build the road to the sea. That
proposition was gone into thoroughly
two or three years ago. 1t was then
shown by competent railroad men that
the cost of building the road would be
very large. even with the use of con-
Wet labor, and that 1t was doubtful IL
it could be made a paying property for
long time. Still, there are some
who are continually harping on the ad-
visibility of building the road TO the
sea. As a general thing it lis not good
policy for a state to own railroads
Georgia, however. has been rather for
tunate in the ownership of the West
ern and Atlantic. STILL there comes a
scare periodically relative to the danger
of great depreciation Of the property
on account of the construction Of par
allel lines. There may be a good rea-
son for a scare Of this sort one of
these days, and then there will be re-
greet that the property was not sold
when a fair price could nlave been OBJ
tanned for IT.

Ohio penitentiary with a great secret
locked in his breast. He is a coun-

metalurgist and a chemist. and his
secret is a chemical method for color

coins the true ring and weight of gold.

wants whisky and beer in the dispen-
sary counties can get them, if he has
the price.
The state ought to impose a tax on
the dispensaries that would be about
equal to the amount Of money it re-
ceives from saloons that dispose of a
like quantity of whisky and beer. In
other words, the tax should be based
upon the amount sold. OF course there
are various questions involved in this
question Of taxing dispensaries, but
it is easy enough to find a way to
answer them satisfactorily. The main
point is that if the dispensaries are
distributing liquors they ought to pay
a state tax, just as the saloons do.
