and in the meantime the population is
increasing to astounding numbers Its
travelling portion Is also increasing. In
the fiscal year Of 1904 the elevated
roads alone carried 286,634,195 pas
sengers, while in the fiscal year Of 1906
the "Ls" and subway combined carried
s39, ,104, ,820, an increase of over $4,000
600. 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

and a 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 we'll as ungracious; but it 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.
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-
tion, 1 am tempted to make a final
quotation from Mr.. Hunt, because 1t
has an important bearing upon the
social life of the region and is dis
tinctly in line with my own observa-
tion.
"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"

climbers to secure the pet bird afforded
much amusement and considerable eX-

on-lookerS. The fact that the mistress
Of the bird had offered a-large reward
for his safe return spurred over score
Of men Of all conditions of life to cap
ture the feathered truant.
Polly, escaping from his cage, made
a bee-line 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
when a rather corpulent individual es-
sayed to climb the tree and secure the
bird. "Isben" is an accomplished
talker, and as he few to the next tree
he called out very distinctly may!
nay!" A colored youth climbed tree
number two, and after nearly breaking
his neck through the rotteness Of
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 few 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
a vast f1uttering ensIed, with yell of
triumph from Walter. The crowd
cheered, but 'Ts6en" had apparently
been lariated before, for he quickly dis
engaged himself and with a cheerful
hee-haw! flew away about a block and
alighted in large cottonwood tree.
Send for Santos Dumont and his
air-ship,"' piped up one of the crowd;
then telegraph messenger boy, three
or four colored men, a jack-tar from
the Navy Yard, and a college athlete
climbed trees and poles to secure the
reward. The parrot kept up more or
less continuous conversation with his
would-be captorS, but it was noticed
that his remarks were of quite proper
nature, "hot air" being the most OBJ
jectionable.
After flying around sightseeing for
an hour or SO, "Isben" few into a tree

To provide greater accommodations
for people crossing from Brooklyn and
ether Long Island cities and towns,
two new bridges are under way-the
Manhattan, to be finished next year,
and the Blackwells Island bridge, to

smaller increase in any one Of the ten

that the Long Island side Of the prob

4 Woman's Prophecy.

Nine. de Thebes, who predicted the
Paris charity bazaar fire and Presi-
dent Carnot's assassination, has fixed
up bunch of trouble for 1906. Ma
dame, pleasantly, even gaily, states
that 1906 will be a 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 it.

10 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
co$ton, which can be profitably pro-
duced 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 a 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 wonderful thing

tens of thousands of families-more
wonderful, far, than building a rail-

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 enthus1-
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, it 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 it
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.
If 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 no.
tells, and in the faces and bearing of
the people themselves.
The population of Atlanta and it's
immediate suburbs is now probably
about 100000 and is rapidly growing,
at least twice as rapidly as the pop
ulation of the United States. But it's
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-
dinary prosperity.
