CAN'T AFFORD CHILDREN.
one Woman Explains Why the
Wealthy Have Small Families.

New York Nov 15.-s"The better class
of people in New York can not afford
large families. They have too much to
pay in taxes to support the large families
Of the tneughtless poor.
This wos the bomb which Mrs. 5 NJ.
Cory exploded yesterday in the S%s&ety
for Political Study in resume Of the
evils patient New Workers stand, which
created the greatest sensation IN the So
cie4y's history.
The New York property owners" said
Mrs Cory, pay increasingly large taxes
every year, due mainly to the enormous
immigration
who. max I ask would want to pay
taxes to educate children that should
never have been brought into the world
Why should the thrifty pay for the shift
less
u am not so un-Christian as to say
that the child once here should not be
cared for. Eut just Sc long as Taxpayers
pay for expensive play grounds, etc, the
children Of the poor wiz increase like
rabbits IN a burrow. NO wonder our
houses of refuge and reformation are
filled"

The Telegraph says the Georgia
state board of entomology has met in
Macon and decided that there was no
longer any use for the regulation that
has been in existence relative to the
boil weevil quarantine.
The action of the board in abolish
ing the quarantine regulation will
make it lawful for commission men
and farmers living in Louisiana and
Texas to make shipments to the state
of Georgia of threshed wheat, shelled
corn and cow peas at any time OF the
wear. Heretofore the regulations COW
eriny this point allowed the shipment
of sucn articles into Georgia during
the months of July, August and Sep

WEALTHY MEN IN COLORADO.

David Moffatt of Denver is the
richest man in Colorado, which out
ranks all other states in per capita
wealth. Colorado has the further dis
tinction that most of its vast fortunes
were made within its boundaries, not
alone in mining, but in cattle indus
try, in realty speculation, in fruit, in
sugar-beet culture, potato farming and
and other mercantile
pursuits. There are los resident mil
lionaires in Colorado, their total
wealth being about $500, 600, 900. Mr..
Moffatt is worth from S25, 900, 900 to
$50, 900, 0O0 About 100 men worth
seven or more figures made their mon

A $4,000 WEDDING DRESS.
1t Takes the Gimp Out of the Average
Society Girls Gorgeousness.


A bride in a $4,000 wedding dress
rather takes the gimp out of the aver
age society girls gorgeousness, but
when the daughter of the sultan mar
ries there's nothing mean about her
bridal attire, and this was the costly
wedding dress prepared by two "milli-
ners" in the Yildiz Kiosk. 1t was
sewn thick with real pearls. and the
operation watched over by an officer
and two soldiers to insure the 'milli-
ners' from swallowing any of the
pearls. 1t is presumed the bride was
elated by the idea of wearing $40
900 dress; more so perhaps than her
elderly husband, who may find it diff
cult to supply his wife with clothes OF
this gorgeous standard when the
housekeeping expenses weigh hard up
on him. At present the happy couple
can pick off pearl or two if in need
and exchange them at papa's eX-
for ready cash and never feel
the loss.

FUTURE OF THE NEGRO.
Appears Uncertain, Gloomy and
Hopeless Says Lines.


Hopeless Says Lines.
The Protestant Episcopal Church
congress opened in Holy Trinity
Church in Brooklyn, New York, We'd
nesdaT. The topic for discussion at
the night session was "The Negro in
America" Papers on the subject
were read by Bishop Lines of New
ark and Cuadjutor Bishop Strange of
the east Carolina diocese.
Bishop Lines said that the future of
the negro would be determined in no
small degree by what the church did.
The schools established for the edu-
cation of the negro were great and
beneficent institutions. He declared
that colonization as a factor in set
thing the question of the negroes fut-
ure would prove failure, and that it
was the dominant sentiment of both
north and south that the question
could not be solved either by ANAL
gamation or deportation.
The future of the negro at present,
he added, appeared to be uncertain,
gloomy and hopeless.

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES LINE.
Commissioners May Settle the Dis

Commissioners May Settle the Dis
pute Between the Two States.
Governor Terrell has received a
letter from Governor Cox of Tennes-
see stating that The legislature of that
state has just provided for the APP
poinmentment of a commission of
three to meet a similar commission
from Georgia and settle the disputed
boundary line between Dade county,
Georgia. and Hamilton and Marion
counties, Tennessee, running right
across the top of Lookout mountain.
As it was in 1887 that the Georgia
legislature passed similar bill the
appropriation has since lapsed into
the treasury, and it will be necessary
to secure a new appropriation before
Georgia commissioners can be
named for the work. If there is found
to be any immediate necessity for ac-
tion Governor Terrell will name the
commission any how and trust to the
legislature for the appropriation.

ALTER GRAIN REGULATIONS
AT Special Meeting of State Board of Entomology Bust
ness of Vital Importance Was Transacted Grain
Shipments into Georgia from Texas Allowed

In abolishing the former regulations
the state board has taken an action
for which Louisiana and Texas have
been long looking. The three months
that have formerly been open for the
transportation of the mentioned grains
in the state of Georgia were deemed
too short a time by the planters who
live near the gulf.
The vote to abolish to the former
regulation was unanimous.

Atlanta, State Commissioner of Agri-
culture O. B. Stevens, Col. Dudley M.

UNCLE SANS BIG DEFICIT
HIS INCOME IS NOT SUFFICIENT
TO PAY HIS MANY BILLS.
Plenty of Talk as to How to Get More
Revenue. Congress Must Act
at Its Next Session.

at Its Next Session.
A Washington dispatch says new
impetus is given to the demand for
revenue legislation by the deficit for
the year ending June 30, which will
probably reach $50, 900, 900.
The lines of division between the two
schools of republican protectionists
are showing themselves One division
of the party will urge that increased
revenue should be obtained from in
ternal revenue taxes and by the trans
ference of certain imported articles
now on the free list to the dutiable.
An increased tax on beer and on dis
titled spirits now used in reinforcing
American wines is proposed This
wing of the party will resist the theory
that added revenue might come from
lower tariff duties, because that we
do not want to buy more things
abroad.
The treasury has made an estimate
of probable expenses for the next four
years, on the theory that average ex-
penditures can be reached with more
accuracy than the prediction for any
particular years, especially in naval
outlay, where the cost Of construction
often masses itself in a single season.
Without additional revenue certain
new projects, like the shipping sub
vention bill, would be greatly preju~
diced, besides old friends like the pub
lie building and the river and harbor
bills. Congress will probably want the
extra money, and this will compel the
committee to recommend more rev.

THE PLANTERS MEETING.

The grinding season is rapidly
approaching, with large crop o.
cane ready to be manufactured
into sugar. The scarcity of labor
is always a serious difficulty: bu'
| it is made almost bewildering tC
the planters this year by the alb
normal conditions that now ex-
list. 1t is necessary every season
| to import thousands of laborerr
from other localities to take OFF the
crop of sugar cane. Home labor
is absolutely inadequate for that
purpose. Foreign labor must be
had if the crop is to be success
fully harvested. The yellow fever
panic-the existence Of unreason-
able local quarantine restrictions
have made the labor problem at
present extremely hard to solve.
The continuance of the Deten-
ton Camp at Avondale was the
only hope of relief for the planters
of Southwestern Louisiana. When
it was announced in the New Or
leans daily papers last week that
the Marine Service intended to
close that camp, the prospects be-
came truly alarming-quick &C
ton became necessary to ward of
the ruin that threatened our rich
sugar district. Mr.. j. Scott I'm
derwood, the energetic and watch
full representative OF Belleview
plantation, owned by Messrs.
Underwood, Short & Reeves, i'm
mediately sounded the alarm,
which resulted in meeting OF
the planters Of ST. Mary, which
was held in Franklin last Sunday,
the full proceedings of which will
be found in another column.
This meeting was not only at
tended by those Immediately in
terested, the planters, but by
many representative citizens Of
our town and parish, conspicuous
among them was our rge-hearted
and brilliant Lieutenant Governor,
j. Y. Sanders, who had come to
his home a short while before to
consult with and assist his fellow
citizens in their hour of trouble
and difficulty. He rendered freely,
and used successfully his large
influence in bringing about the
result which will secure the relief
sought by the planters, and which
will enable them to obtain the
labor necessary to save, and make
into sugar their crops of cane.
Governor Sanders is always
welcome visitor among his home
people; and he has proven him.
self true friend, and safe coun-
sellor, not only in the affairs Of
State, but in all questions, econo~
mic, industrial and social, that
