HOW TO BUILD UP SAVANNAH.

The enormous truck farming indus
try of the South, now worth millions
of dollars, is almost wholly the growth
of the last eighteen years" says a
writer in the New York Evening Post
of recent date. While that is true,
it is furthermore a fact that the in
dustry is so far from being fully de-
veloped that in many sections of the
South the people do not raise enough
truck and vegetables to supply their
local markets the year around. Only
a few days ago we published several
interviews and our comments on the
fact that Irish potatoes were being
imported to Savannah from Ireland and
Scotland, Notwithstanding we have here
in Chatham county everything needful
to the growing of potatoes in great
est abundance, for our own consump-
ton and to ship to less favored sec
tions. Not only do we buy potatoes
from the North and abroad, but sea-
son after season we bring in thous-
ands of dollars worth OF turnips. cab
bages, onions, beets, canned corn, peas,
ueans, tomatoes and similar truck
Is there any good reason why this
should be so? If there is, we have
never heard of it.
Soil, climate and seasons in the neigh
borhood of Savannah are all that
could be desired for the truck grow
ing industry; and there are tens of
thousands of acres Of good lands that
are available for that industry. With
in fifty miles of Savannah there are
hundreds of thousands of acres of fine
farming lands awaiting development
by thrifty, energetic farmers. And
the market for the products of these
lands is ready-made and waiting
There is a large market right here at
home, in addition to which the best
of transportation facilities are avail
able for shipments to Northern mar
kets.
What is wanted is some agency
some means, by which the vacant ant
idle lands in Chatham county and il
the other counties adjacent to Chat.
ham can be settled up by desirable
white truck farmers and other agri
culturists. During recent years there
has been a gratifying movement o
Northern and Western farmers int
colonies in the South. Such colonies
have been planted in the Carolinas
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi
ana and Texas. So far as our in
formation goes, not one of them tina
has been managed on business
principles has met with othe
than success. In many instances
| the colonies have proved pros
porous from the first, and tn
settlers could not now be induced
| to leave their Southern homes an,
| return TO the land of long and har,
winters. Why can we not do SOM
| colonizing in Chatham and the ad
joining counties? We have as mucl
to offer in the way of productive lands

Those persons who object to the
theory that they descended from the
monkey now have the alternative of
accepting a reptile as an ancestor. Prof.
Osborne, of Columbia College, holds
that man as mammal with a single
arch on the side of his skull is unmis-
takably descended from that class of
reptiles known as Lynapida, which has
only one arch. The man who is refer

A fearful tale comes from Seoul. The
Emperor of Korea is disconsolate and
refuses to be comforted. Not that he
cares rap that his palace was burned
some days ago. or that hordes of for
eign soldiers are making war in his
country. The trouble is that when his
palace was burned certain snakes were
cremated. and their untimely death
overwhelms him with grief. However,

One of the finest buildings of its
kind in the world is the Congressional
Library at Washington. It covers four
acres of ground. No expense was
spared in making it worthy Of the
nation and the great purpose to which
it is dedicated. 1t is a triumph of archi-
lecture and decorative art. Its cost
was $1,000, 600. And yet this magnifi-
cent building cost 100000 less than
the amount of money it is proposed in
a pending naval bill to put into sin
Bile battleship. Eight million dollars is
the sum proposed for a ship in the bill
referred to. The war in the Far East
has shown that even the heaviest ships
are not invulnerable to the attacks of
those little wasps of the sea, the tor
pedo boats. A $4,000 torpedo boat
armed with a $4,000 torpedo might
easily destroy the 100000 battleship
in two minutes. Do we need more
heavy ships rather than more torpedo
boats?

The United States Department of Ag-

After a lapse of several years, pro-

this city tomorrow. That the game
is great sport is not to be questioned.
That the people of Savannah are

remains for the management to sup

The fire losses in the United States
and Canada during the first three
months Of the current year amounted
to 1923 043, $50, as compared with lit
tie more than $4,000, 900 during the
corresponding period of last year. The
present month, too, will go into the
records as one of heavy losses, on
account of the $12,OOO,OOO fire in Toron-
to the other day. Insurance people
calculate that the first four months
of the year will show losses of not
less than $3.50 900, OOO-a sum well cal
culated to make the underwriters feel
blue. The great fires of Baltimore,
Rochester, Paterson and Toronto dealt
the insurance companies a heavy
blow.

Some well meaning organizations in
New Jersey are exerting themselves to
save woman in that state from the
gallows. There seems to be not the
slightest shadow of doubt that she
committed the murder of which she
has been convicted and sentenced TO
death, and that it was a cold blood
ed, premeditated crime. The only ex-
tenuating circumstance, so far as the
information goes, is in the fact that
she is a murderess and not a muir
derer. Her sex is depended upon to
save her In other words, it is pro-
posed that, because she is a woman,
she shall be punished less severely than
man would be under similar circum-
stances.

THE BuILDING LINE question.

We are confident that the Mayor is
as anxious as any other citizen to do
all he can in the direction of increas-
ing the attractiveness of homes in this
city. He has taken notice OF the con-
tention OF Col. Mercer that IL is with
in the power of the city to fix building
lines and has had the city attorney
examine the matter.
The city attorney takes the position
that the city has no authority to fix
building lines. unless it buys the land
between the proposed building line and
the street. Col. Mercer contends that
the city has the right to refuse to grant
building permits, unless the applicants
for permits agree TO build IN accord
ance with lines fixed by the city. We
do not know whether or not the city
attorney examined this point. If not.
wouldn't It be advisable for the Mayor
to get his opinion on IT, If Il is adverse.
why not do the other thing which Col.
Mercer suggests, namely go to the
Legislature and get authority to es-
tablish building lines? We assume that
such a course wouldn't be advised un-
less the Legislature can grant such au-
thority.
This is a matter that is of interest
TO all citizens. 1t is a fact that the
homes that are being built in the new
part OF the city are not as attractive
as they should be, that is, the great
majority OF them. They are lacking
what they ought 10 have, particularly
in this climate, namely. yards about
them, and especially little flower gar
dens and grass plats In front Of them
The homes would be far more attrac-'
tive than they are n they were set
back from the street, and the spaces
N front Of them were beauuhed with
grass, flowers and shrubbery. II the
