that 1906 will be wild year, full of

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 uncomfortable cpl
demic is to sweep this country: that
Belgium will play curious part In
the transformation Of Europe; that the

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 | repeat,
because it cannot be said with too
much emphasis, that Georgia knows
this, appreciates it, and wants more OF
it.

social life Of the region and is dis
tinctly in line with my own observa-
tion.
1.-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
ha sed 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"

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 hybrid
plant, between the long staple which
is raised successfully only on the
coast and the less valuable upland
co<ton, which can be probably pro-
dced in Middle Georgia. BY patient
experimentation, in cooperation with
the Department of Agriculture, he has
made treat progress in this direction
and is gradually evolving a cotton
plant which promises TO bring 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-
compished. 1t is wonderful thing
to lift an entire industry, and thus
to elevate the standard of living for
tens OF thousands of families-more
wonderful, far, than building a rail-
road or a cotton mill, as l have said.
What he has done with live stock
uHu COttOu, MT. f1uul mas also uOne
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-growng and wine-pro-
da1cing districts of the world, includ-
Ing those in California and in France,
and has necessarily become 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 enthusf-
astic collector of Indian antiquities,
and that his search for rare speci-

to distant islands of the Pacific.
