best of governments cannot wholly
disarm them. They call on the law
makers to pas vicious laws whit b
they tell ignorant people will benefit
them. They raise great cutlery
against good measures which they
assure a deluded populace are fun Of
sin and iniquity. That is what is hap.

What the Tribune says is true in
great measure. not only of him who
Is entrusted with the government of q
state, but also of lesser officials. of
mayors, for instance. But il is prob
ably not true to the extent that the
Tribune would have us believe. The

Darlington County. South Carolina. be- gan a series of experiments which is destined to revolutionize corn culture In the South, and which will turn the South to a veritable Egypt.
 Noting that the biggest stalks Of corn d'a not always produce the big gest ears, he finally worked out the idea that If the stalk could be stunt
 'QoInQO 1sI1dRH s s ed" there would be a better chance for ear delevopment, and to that end he ben. all the energy of his nature De- plpring the poor preparation of the soil for planting, he addressed himself to improving his own farm in this re- spect, and by gradually deepening his blowing. Mir. Williamson now cultl- yates his land to a depth of IS inches, using a large two-horse piow and strong. heavy mules, doing this work before planting.
 Now as to the result: Mir. William son has increased his production from an average yield of fifteen bushels per acre to eighty bushels per acre. some of his best land producing l25 bushels per acre. In 1905, according to United States Government report, the average per acre for the United States was 2s.s bushels: the South. III bushels; Georgia, II bushels. srhe advice to Georgians is to fol- low the lead of Mir. Williamson; move your corn cribs to your own farms.

WHAT IT MEANS.
Credit and Capacity of Railroads Im-
 periled.


 Mobile Item.
 Mobile, Ala. Jan. 25, 1907. To the Editor of The Item:
 Allow me to thank you for the thoughtful and fair editorials in the the| discussion which took place be- fore the Senate Committee on Com merce and Common Carriers at Mont- gomery on Tuesday evening.
 As stated by me to this committed, the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company by it's credit raised $4.000,000 for the construction of its Montgomery exten- sion, representing the main part of ing Columbus. Miss, and Montgom- cry, Ala. The operation of this prop erty was. begun in 1897, and during only two years since that time was rating expenses, and nothing was oth- erwise earned for account of interest on the investment.
 Under such conditions as these it is Indeed strange that the Legislature should take arbitrary action to mate- rially reduced the revenue of this prop erty.
 The building and operating of rail- roads is neither an illegal nor an im- moral enterprise. which should be driven out of existence by arbitrary or hostile legislation, but. on the other hand, no factor has been more inn PoItdHL III tne EndTNSlOuS luQustrlal and commercial development of the South than the construction of these great channels of traffic.
 There should be no invidious dis tinction made between the business of a common carrier and other industrial and commercial enterprises, All should be allowed to earn fair return upon invested capital, unhampered by either hostile or undigested legislation.
 The reduction in passenger and freight rates now pending before the Alabama Legislature cover the follow ing amounts for one hundred miles travelled or transported: For a passen- ger, 50 cents; on barrel of flour. IT cents. and on b00 bushels of cotton seed, $l.62, and other commodities in like measure.
 dividuals affected. but in the aggre- gate represent the difference between success and failure to tho railroads ihe reduction of the proper revenue of the railroad companies of the State of Alabama and the destruction of credit which must result therefrom will ad- verscly affect every interest of the State. commercial, industrial or agri- cultural, and the saving thus accom- 1 for.
 The development of the terminal fa- cilities, so necessary to take care of the increasing commerce of the city of Mobile, absolutely depends upon the maintenance of the credit Of the rail- road lines entering this port and if destroyed or impaired by the acts of the Legislature the outlook is unprom i ising in the extreme.
 Yours very truly R " Taylor, General Manser.

OppressIng RniIronds.

IF l0tSNTIIe Trf1une
 The Nashville American, after a fair comparison with the population and amount of travel in the Eastern states and the Southern States, suggests that the south should not bankrupt rail- roads by reduction of rates to cents mile without a guarantee against less There is equity and common sense in this. Wa all know what it re- suits in when either a corporation CT an individual operates n business at loss. Fer instance, when passenger traffic is great, the trains crowded. lower rate might be permissible, For instance excursion rates, where crowJs are carried the rate has always been reduced But to operate cars in thinly settled localities. where travel Is very limited 2-cent rate means either convenience to the public or bank ruptcy to the railroads.
