GOTHAM'S STREET CARS.
THE GREAT SUB WAY OF NEW
YORK ALWAYS CROWDED FOR
STANDING ROOM.

Forty Million Dollar System Proves
Entirely inadequate to Transport
Crowds.-Need for an Additional
System.
New York's underground street rail
way, the Subway" has been in full OPP
GRAFTON just about year and ahalf. The
relief which this s40,000,000 system was
expected to give the elevated roads
and surface lines has proved made.
quate to meet the needs Of the increas-
Ing traffic. Within a month from the
day the first subway train carrying
paying passengers made the trip from
City Hall to Harlem. the crush on the
elevated and surface cars during the
rush hours was as great as ever.
Owing to the peculiar elongated form
OF the city, the bulk Of the traffic trav-
els north and south. 1t was estimated
that the subway would relieve the
north and south daily rush by $4,000.

and In the meantime the population is
increasing to astounding numbers. Its
travelling portion Is also increasing. In
me fiscal year OF 1904 the elevated
roads alone carried 286,634,195 pas
sengers, while in the fiscal year of 1906
the Ills" and subway combined carried
S39, 104, 800, an increase of over $4,000
coo. The greatest number carried by
''Ls," surface lines and subway In one
hour was 142,500, all three systems be-
ing taxed to the limit OF their capacity.
Transportation experts estimate that
Il will take an expenditure OF at least
$500 100000 to so increase The traffic
facilities OF New York City as to meet
present necessities, and the normal
growth Of the next few years, in a sat-
lsfactory manner. In the future large
terminals will be abandoned, and NO
one line of travel will cross another. To
divide traffic and run each line as an
Independent artery are the purposes
for which money will be expended In
the future In the effort to transport
millions of people from their homes TO
their business in the morniog and back
again at night.

and a better disposition of the com.

and better disposition OF the com
forts of life.
1t would be ungracious to say that
all this Is due to the influence of men
from the North, and it would be un'
true as well as ungracious but 1t is
nevertheless a fact that the ideas
which dominated in the old days
were not adapted to the best use OF
Southern resources and opportunities
for development, and that these old
ideas had to surrender to new and
better plans and methods before the
South which is now rapidly develop
ing could be possible. One of the
strongest forces in the new movement
is the stream OF Northern blood and
capital which has flowed into the
beautiful Southern land since the
days of reconstruction. And l repeat
because it cannot be said with toe
much emphasis, that Georgia knows
this, appreciates it, and wants more OF
it.
These are facts which may be prop
erly taken into consideration by North.
ern people who are looking for homes
They are quite as important as soil,
climate and markets. In this connec-
ton, l am tempted to make a final
quotation from Mr.. Hunt, because II
has an important bearing upon the
social life of the region and is dis
tinctly in line with my own observa-
ton.
"The caste instinct is always resi-
dent in the brain of the white man,
North or South, be he Catholic, Prot
estant or Quaker. In the North, this
finds expression in social distinction
based on the possession of wealth and
culture. South, the caste instinct
finds so much greater differences in
inherent civilization, in the white
race, against inherent barbarism in
the black race, that the caste senti-
ment justifies itself in dividing the
white from the black. Hence, there
exists fuller democracy among all
white people in the South than else
where. Here, minor social differences
are annulled by the one great caste
distinction. This condition gives freer
play to altruistic social usage among
the white people here than in other
parts of our country"

A WOman's Prophecy.

Nine. de Thebes, who predicted the
Paris charity bazaar fire and Presi-
dent Carnot's assassination, has fixed
up a bunch Of trouble for 1906. Ma
dame, pleasantly, even gaily, states
that 1906 will be wild year, full OF
strange, extravagant. incomprehensible
and astonishing madnesses. She pre-
diets that Germany will be threatened
with general smash early in the year;
that South America is to be torn with
upheavals, that an unconquerable cpl
demic is to sweep this country; that
Belgium will play a curious part in
the transformation of Europe; that the
attention of the world will be centered
on Turkey and the near East; and that
there will be serious losses in the art
world.
How refreshing it would be If some
of these people who read the future
like an open book would see something
pleasant sometimes and tell about 1t.

climbers to secure the pet bird afforded
much amusement and considerable ex-
element to a crowd of hundreds OF
on-lookers. The fact that the mistress
Of the bird had offered large reward
for his safe return spurred over score
Of men Of all conditions Of life to cap
ture the feathered truant.

Decline for one of the trees near the
Treasury Department building, and sat
there looking around, a gorgeous bit
of green and red. The fun commenced
sayed to climb the tree and secure the
bird "ISben" Is an accomplished
talker. and as he flew to the next tree
he called out very distinctly may!

number two, and, after nearly breaking
his neck through the rotteness Of a
limb, succeeded in getting within about
two feet Of 'Isben."
Put salt On his TAIL" said wag In
the crowd. The youth showed his apti-
tude for going after birds that roasted
high, such, for instance, as chickens,
but he was not used to the flying kind,
and just as he reached" for "Isben"
the bird flew up to the top Of tall
telegraph pole. At this point there sal.
lied forth Walter Perry, who claims
to be the best coon hunter In Alabama,
and scrambled up the pole in record
time. Then with stout wire, crooked
at the end, he hooked Polls leg, and
vast futtering ensued, with yell OF
triumph from Walter. The crowd
cheered, but "Isben" had apparently
been lariated before, for he quickly dis.

alighted in large cottonwood tree.

less continuous conversation with his

the South was not making the most OF
its possibilities in cotton culture, and
so proceeded to make a thorough
study OF "the most valuable plant the
earth has ever produced" as he puts
1t.
TO Double the Cotton Crop.
His effort has been to find a hybrid
plant, between the long staple which
is raised successfully only on the
coast and the less valuable upland
coSton, which can be probably pro-
dGed in Middle Georgia. By patient
experimentation, in cooperation with
the Department of Agriculture, he has
made great progress in this direction
and is gradually evolving cotton
plant which promises to bring a much
higher average return than the far
mer has realized in the past. This is
the sort of work which few men have
the patience to do, but which confers
its benefits upon all when once ac-
complished. 1t is a wonderful thing
10 lift an entire industry, and thus
10 elevate the standard of living for
tens of thousands of families-more
wonderful, far, than building a rail-
road or cotton mill, as / have said.
What he has done with live stock
and cotton, Mr. Hunt has also done
with fruit culture He has taken the
lead in planting orchards, and in DEM
onstrating what varieties of peaches,
apples and pears are best suited to the
soil and climate and to the markets
open to the Georgia farmers. He has
done the same with grapes and ber-
ries, and thus again achieved results
which have benefited other growers
as much as himself. In the course
OF his studies he has visited the most
famous fruit-growing and wine-pro-
dOcing districts of the world includ-
ing those in California and in France,
and has necessarily become a man of
science. In this way he has made the
acquaintance of the foremost scien-
lists of the world and on the occasion
of Herbert Spencer's visit to the Unit
ed States he was the only man out
side the ranks of professional scien-
lists invited to meet the worlds
greatest thinker. Incidentally, it may
be mentioned that he is an enthusi-
astic collector of Indian antiquities,
and that his search for rare speci-
mems has carried him all over the
United States and Mexico, and even
to distant islands Of the Pacific.

that the North has not sent many
men down South who have accom-
plished as much in raising the eco
nomic standard as Benjamin w. Hunt
has done, 1t is none the less true that
Southern cities and towns, and par
ticularly Atlanta, are full OF Northern
men who are injecting a new spirit
into the life of the region. And 1t
is vastly creditable to the native stock
that they welcome enterprising men
from north of Mason and Dixon's
Line and glory in their achievements.
II they are less proud of the new
conner than of the old-timer they GER
tainly conceal the fact. The truth
seems to be that the whole community
Is permeated by the spirit Of enter
prise which these Northern men have
brought, and it seems to be reflected
in the buildings, the stores, the ho-
tells, and in the faces and bearing OF
the people themselves.
The population of Atlanta and its
immediate suburbs is now probably
about 10000 and is rapidly growing,
at least twice as rapidly as the pop
ulation of the United States. But its
business, as evidenced by bank clear
ings and postal receipts, is growing
much faster than its population.
This business is largely in the form
of manufacturing, although the whole
sale trade is also expanding to enor-
nous proportions. The growth of
railway, telegraph and telephone sys-
TENS naturally keeps pace with trade,
manufacture and population. All this
requires constant activity in building
operations and the employment of an
increasing army Of labor. In other
words, Atlanta, and the great State
Of Georgia Of which it is the metrop-
oils, are enjoying an era of extraor-
binary prosperity.

Science SuppIants Chance.

This prosperity is due in large part
to the extent and value of natural re-
sources, but 1t is also largely due to
the new methods which have been in
troduced In recent years. Beginning
with the farmer and going on through
ahe line of Industrial factors men are
working in the light of science in
stead Of depending on chance. What
Mr.. Hunt has done in connection with
live stock, cotton culture and fruit
growing, everybody is doing to some
extent. They are getting the aid or
State and National Governments, and
thus asserting their control over the
forces of nature in a way which ap-
proaches ever nearer to perfection.
