Reaction or Sanity.

Happy the man and happy the State
that can profit by the experience OF
others! What benefit has Alabama
Georgia and other States derived
from this railroad agitation? 1t may
be summed mp as follows:
1. Capital will for many years de,
cline to invest in railroad construc.
ton within those States. This means
that sections at present undeveloped
will be held Improbable and perhaps
a burden to the more prosperous
parts.
.. The animosity manifested to-
ward railroads will be cordially re-
ciprOcated. This is a part of human
nature which even soulless corpora
tons share. No favor will be grant
ed unless under cOmpulsiOn. Under
these conditions cooperation is i'm
possible.
3. The railroad legislation will be
fought by the corporations until
finally decided by the United States
Supreme Court. Lawsuits of this
kind involve heavy expenses, which
the taxpayers must defray. No
Southern State has as vet reached
the stage of prosperity when it is
able TO indulge in such luXuries The
money would be spent to better adj
vantage upon the necessary State in
stitutions, and if Otneeded there, in
increasing official salaries.
This State needs railroads, as many
as it can secure, and ifany such road
renders productive a section which is
in the first stage of its development
it is entitled to share in the pros
perity created by it. If that princi-
pie is accepted and maintained, Mis-
sissippi will suffer little from the ac-
ton of the adjacent States.
We have the resources; there is no
question about ii. But so long as
these resources must remain unde-
veloped, owing to the impossibility
of sending them to a market, the tax
payers must bear the burden of I'M
developed wealth. --Hattiesburg, Miss
News.

Appropriations.

Chairman TaWney of the finance
committee in congress has given out
q statement that there must be a
pairing down of the appropriations,
they already being largely in excess
of the income of the government;
also that no new improvements can
be attempted.
This is pretty condition of affairs
when the prosperity of the country
is so great that the transportation
companys cannot care for the pro-
ducts of the soil, forests, and mines,
AID the balance of trade in our favor
with the rest of the world exceeds
any time in our history.
This is a condition that the Repub-
lican party with its large majority in
congress must be held strictly ac-
countable for. The people require
and demand governmental aid in
matters of transportation, and in
various other matters wherein the
government has not kept pace with
the rest of the country in improve
ments.
If those in control have placed the
resources of the government in such
a condition that it cannot meet its
just obligations, and do it's share
toward making public improvements
that are imperatively demanded by
the growth of the country, let them
be turned out and men put in their
places that have business qualifica-
tons, and can and will place the
finances of these United States on a
footing commensurate with their
growth and requirements.

Alabama And North Carolina

The two southern governors who
are invoking prejudice and melting
trouble for the people of their states
are conspicuously in the wrong. The
differences are purely questions of
law with which neither parties nor
prejudices have anything to do at this
stage. Let us first learn exactly what
is the law. That information should
be sought from the supreme court and
not by appeals to the people; protests
should be made in carefully prepared
arguments on the law affecting the
case and not by threats of force or
by calling out the militia When a
decision has been rendered by the
courts, then the state should submit
if required to do so and a movement
made through the regular channel,
duly appointed, to repeal or change
the law that has been found evil or
defective.
The people should not be taught to
expect relief from violence. The
state should be the last to declaim
against the courts, because faith in
the court is our best security against
disorder and violence. What the
south needs above all things on earth
is peace and good will. If we can
secure exemption from passion and
prejudice for a few years longer we
can make the south a para
disc of our own. All our evils
can be remedied if we control
ourselves and secure a minimum of
interference from without. Even
under Republican administration that
tax us for the benfit of others we have
managed to grow and prosper. We
throw away all we have gained by SO
many years of industry and patience
and persistence if we allow passion
to take possession of us now. We
fear our diSsensiOnss are already divi-
ding Democrats. Questions of morals
are injected that have no real part
in politics and we divide on these in
the face of the enemy, but let us pre-
serve harmony as far as we may and
proceed with the good work of con-
struction till our own folly begins to
destroy. Times Union.

Farmers And Waterways.

Indicative of the widespread and
deeply seated interest in the improve
ment of the waterways the country
is resolution adopted by the Farmers
National Congress at its last annual
session, which was attended by $50
delegates from p States. The reso-
luton pledges the cooperation of the
Farmers National Congress with the
Rivers and HarborS Congress in ian
appeal to the executive and legisla-
tive branches of the National Gov
eminent to inaugurate at once a
broad national policy of waterway
development and to pursue a course
of legislation which will insure
annual appropriations for this i'm
portant public work, carrying not
less than $50, 100000 every year, to
the end that the systematic develop
ment of all worthy rivers, harbors
and channels the country over may
at once be entered upon with vigor
and carried forward TO completion
without abatement or interruption.

Inland waterways.

The subject of Inland waterways
has been brought before the Senate
and is already beginning to receive
attention at the hands of both houses
of Congress. On the 18th Senator
Newlands of Nevada addressed the
senate on his bill for the appointment
of a permanent inland waterways
commission. He stated that the agi-
tation relating to deep waterways
from st. Louis to the gulf, and from
the lakes to the gulf, had reached
such proportions as to bring about a
movement for the Improvement of all
the navigable streams of the country
and a demand upon the part of every
section that broad and cOmprehen-
sive plan should be inaugurated which
would embrace, fairly and proportion
ately, every part of the country. The
president, in response to the general
demand, had appointed an inland
waterways commission for the pur-
pose of looking into the matter and
making report and recommendation
which, if acceptable to him, he would
present to congress for its action.
This commission had been at work
for some months, had, through the
action of either all or a part of its
members, taken up the Study of the
problems in every section of the
country, and was now engaged in
preparing their report to the presi-
dent.
Senator NeWiands declared that he
expects the government to expend at
least $50, 900, 900 annually during the
next five years on the inland water
ways, and was interrupted by Senator
Beverage, who said: 1.-THE senator
does not mean that, hope"
Senator Newlands: Eyes; that is
my individual view. In the next ten
years the United States should spend
at least $500 900, 900 in the improve
ment of inland waterways. | think
the government should enter into this
work in every section of the country
on the Pacific coast, Atlantic coast,
gulf coast, along the Mississippi river
and it's tributaries | wish to say that
is the ointment of the people of the
United States"

US. Consul Murphy, of Bordeaux,
reports thatin the peanut oil industry
of France no portion of tthe nut is
wasted. The shells are utilized for
both cattle food and fuel For the
former. purpose they are ground fine,
mixed with mOlasses, and pressed
into cakes which, though not so valu-
able as those made of the crushed
meats, form a nutritious food. For
fuel the pulverized shells, mixed with
coal dust, are pressed into bricks,
which burn wei and give out great

AMERICAN PERFUMES.

Every udy proves Iue ldildcN ana
the queer anomaly of the pretentious
denomination of perfumes-called
American perfumes. AS a matter of
fact, there are no American perfumes.
The fact that American perfumes are
tributary to France, Italy and other
countries for the raw materials for
perfumery, proves clearly that the
denomination, American perfumes,
is absolutely out of order.
During the tWenty-seven years of
my residence in Florida, | have been
doing my best to induce every one
interested in that industry, from the
farmer to the manufacturer, to at
least, make fair trial to ascertain
the veracity of my sayings, doings,
writings on the subject, in the inter
est of Florida principally, but | am
deeply sorry to have to say that
have utterly failed, and moreover,
that l have not the least hope of a
change for the better.
| have gone so far as declining to
fill orders, suggesting to the parties
ordering goods, that they send their
orders to a man advertising his
"Florida Flower Perfumes" at fair
price, so as to encourage that new
conner on the field, | know Of two
customers who have not acted upon
my suggestion and | consider this
poor way to encourage home industry.
THE RESOURCES OF FLORIDA.
The resources of Florida for the
success of that industry were simply
incalculable. I have demonstrated it
in communications published in this
paper and many others. | have
furnished material proofs of it by my
own work and my own products and
still the situation shows no sign of
Improvement unless the following
may be construed as an indication of
our 'awakening'' to the Importance
of the industry and of its develop
ment.
AN INTERESTING REQUEST.
Under date Of July "a, 1907, in a
letter written to me by DR.. r. H. Rolls, /
President of the Florida State Horti-
cultural Society. l am asked to pre-
pare paper on the Perfume Indus

had suggested that such request be

THE OBSTACLES.

Although a decade is of very little
account in the industry of nation,
it is nevertheless regretable that
during that period to this day, the
prospects referred to are about what
they were ten years ago.
In my pioneering work l have met
with several obstacles, the most seri-
Gus of which is the Indifference OF
Floridians.
There have been, from time to time
some manifestations of interest and
on many occasions, | have wanted
information that took me consider
able work and time (which means
money! these manifestation having
proved to be of the spasmodic sort
Another obstacle, by no means less
serious than the above referred tC
has been and is, at this hour, the
unWillingness of the American per
tuners to encourage the develop
ment of that industry in this country
on the contrary, they have been and
are antagOnistic to that development
and the reason for that attitude is so
obvious, that | deem it unnecessary
to comment upon it; it is more chart

Can Flower Farming For PerfumeIy
Succeed in this Country.
BY f. MOULIE.

Such is the caption of a long chap
ter in "Year Book" of 1898, published
by the United States department of
agriculture, under the signature of
MIR Ed S. Steele, botanist.
For the writing of that article was
asked to furnish the department with
such data that my experience in that
line could permit. | complied with
the request and the most important
points of my work were mentioned
in that article, which by the way, was
reprinted in pamphlet form to be dis
tributed where it would do the most
good.
Naturally, my contribution referred
in every phase to the resources and
possibilities of development of Flor
ida, giving as authority my own in
dustry from 1880, the year during
which | created that industry.
In summing up his article, Mr..
Steele said that the industry of flower
farming and ofperfumery gave every
prospect of success, "Now, or in the
near future"

raised from general taxation in the
city, believing, as we do, that water
used for such purposes is a benefit
to all the property of the city.
I'VE would recommend that there
should be incorporated in the said
ordinance a provision whereby the
vacant property of the city should be
compelled to bear a certain proper
ton of the burden of the water sup
ply, believing that the maintaining
of a good and Sufficient water supply
is benefit to each and every piece
of property in the city which is plac-
ed in position to be served, wheth-
er the owner thereof takes advan-
tage Of the opportunity or not.
I'VE would recommend that if it
is considered advisable to make the
basis of the charge for water the
number of roc ms in a building, In
stead of the number of persons in a
family, that such be based upon
4 .; istf &c iOl a ucoC Vi sd
four or five rooms or less, and an
additional charge for each addi.
tional room having water tap
therein.
I'VE are firmly of the opinion that
the three proposed changes, viz,
the collection of the water rent
quarterly instead of monthly, the
combining of the house and irriga-
ton rate and the assessing of the
domestic or house rate to the owner
instead of the consumer, are all
three unwise and unjust.
I'VE would recommend that in the
passage of any new ordinance some
equitable provision should be made
therein for assessing the betterments
in the way of new extensions to the
property to be benefited thereby.
