On the sea islands of Georgia is grown
the finest cotton in the world. and 1t is a
s..,a..lcant fact that on a Georgia pIanta-
ton was planned and built the first cot
ton gin in the world-the invention that
revolutionized the agricultural and manu-
featuring industries not only of America,
but Of the world. Where Eli Whitney
had his one gin on the Greene plantation
in 1871 there are over 300 now in opera

laboriously wove the first cotton goods
for the use Of GeoTgians who chose TO
patronize home industries. To-day some
of the worlds finest textile mills operated
under many millions of dollars capital
form integral parts OF the States indus
trial enterprise. In Columbus, where the
model mill town has found its supremacy,
free textile schools are operated for the
benefit of employees, while through the
mills at Atlanta 115,Oo0 bales Of cotton
each year pass out I'm the form Of thread
or cloth. In 1856 the South exported six
bags of cotton. In the year that the
cotton gin was invented $40 bags were
exported; ten years after the gin was in
use the South's exported product was
81 900 bales. Now Georgia alone produces
nearly 100000 a year.
It was Georgia enterprise that built the
first boat that was propelled across the

Of the great parties might thus talk
into monographs and pose before

In the first place there would then
be no need of infiicting upon the peo-
pie lot of small-fry speakers who
cause the committee endless trouble
and expense, and generally do fully
as much harm as good to the cause
they plead. The candidates and other
orators whom the people really care
to hear could do their talking and
posing in day or two and then take
to the woods or the seashore and be
comfortable for the rest of the cam

TONS OF GOLD
MADE INTO COIN
REPORT SHOWS THAT 2l2
TONS OF PRECIOUS METAL
CONVERTED INTO
MONEY AT ONE CITY
DURING FISCAL
YEAR.

Two hundred and twelve tons OF
gold bullion coined into double eagles
not to- speak of the thousands OF sill
yer and copper pieces also turned out,
IS the remarkable product OF the
United States mint in Philadelphia,
according TO the report just made by
Superintendent Lands of the work
done during the fiscal year at Uncle
sans money factory at Seventeenth
and Spring Garden streets. The size
II TINS task can be better appreciated
from the statement that if these s.
AS $40 pieces were piled
one upon another they would make
stack nine miles high. They repre-
sent a money value OF $114.sss,3 300.
n 1907 only $7,OOO,00O worth OF
double eagles were struck off About
S6,OOO,OO0 worth of gold coins OF 9th
er denominations were turned out al
the mint during the past year.
Only in the calendar year of 1904
was the last fiscal years output sur
passed. In that year double eagles
we're coined to the value of abclt
s227, O00,OOO The mint is closed
loxn at this time because dies and
machines need repairing, and the
summer time, Immediately at the
close of the fiscal year is chosen as
the best time in which to do the work.
The entire gold coinage mentioned
IN the report aggregates $120,377, 377.-
80 in value, and consists of eagles,
half eagles and quarter eagles. The
coinage of these latter coins was rath-
er below the average, owing to the
fact that the "cart-wheels" absorbed
all the mint's energies in producing
rhe output of the quarter eagles va
ries greatly. in some years falling to
almost no coinage at ALL according
o the mint authorities the entire use
.ade of these coins in America is
almost entirely at the time of Christ
mas holidays, when they are employ
ed in very great numbers for gifts
from employers to employees and from
masters TO servants.
In addition to the gold coined at
the mint in the past fiscal year, &c.
707,635 silver pieces were struck off,

STATE TAX COMMISSIONERS
COMPLETED HEARINGS.
Board Said to Have Established Pre-
cedent in Taxation of Under
ground Coal.

The state board of tax commission
ers in session at Indianapolis, has
finished its hearings for the present
year During the last month appeals
were heard from the valuations made
at the spring sessions. The board is
not ready TO announce the results but
It is understood that ii has establish.
ed a precedent in the taxation OF
underground coal
The Vandaha Coal Company, the
Parke County Coal company and the
Vivian COleries company appealed
from an increase in valuation on the
ground that tlieir properly was asses
sed in 1907 by the state board as real
estate and that real estate valuations
can be changed only once in four
years.
The property of the Parke county
company was increased from $50 to
$50 an acre; that of the Vandalia
and Vivian from SO to $50 an acre
The State board has decided that il
was without authority to increase the
valuation this year owing to the fact
that the valuation of the same land
was established III 1907 for the ensu-
ing four years.
The board heard appeals from sew
eral banks which objected to being
taxed on capital, surplus and prof
its that are invested in non-raxablc
securities The board holds that the
banks assets are taxable regardless
of the manner of their investment

CHANGE OF TERMINAL.
Lake Erie Likely to Abandon Peru

nesday afternoon for a general con-

lis PICKING
UP A LITTLE
MORE CARS IN OPERATION,
AND PREDICTION MADE
THAT THERE WILL BE
FEW IDLE ONES BY
THE COMING
WINTER.

There were $500 more freight cars
in service July %, than there were
June IS, and 10000 more than April
20. At that date 10000 coal cars
were idle. By July % the number
held shrank to $4,000 That is an un,
erring indication of greater activity
on the part of manufacturers. That
activity means additional business
for the railroads later on.
The progressive diminution in the
number of idle cars lends support to
the assertion of Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Knapp that there will
be shortage this fall. He says that
an inquiry into business conditions
has convinced him that that will be
the situation after the crops shall
have been harvested, assuming, that
good harvests shall not be blighted.
Every-idle car that rs put in service
strengthens the contention OF the
shippers that railroad rates should
not be increased. If all the cars were
needed for carrying freight their con-
tention would be irresistible. The
roads hardly would have audacity to
assert that they should be permitted
40 put up next years rates in order
to make up for this years decrease in
receipts If that were allowed the
roads would indeed be in a favored
class. Merchants, manufacturers and
wage-earners do not look to the com,
munity to indemnify them for losses
they sustain during a period OF bust
ness depression.
If by the close of the year there
shall be a demand for all the freight
cars the roads own the rates now in
force will furnish them adequate rev.
enues. Unless they squander their
means by paying excessive dividends
it will not be difficult for them to
get the money required for improve
ments which they say ought to be
made.
Probably the railroad managers are
regulating their own conduct by the
demand for freight cars Early in
the year, when so many were idle,
they talked of a general advance in
rates on the 1st of July AS that date
drew near, and business improved
they talked of the 1st of October
The number of idle cars continuing
to decrease, they talk now of the 1st
of December If their cars shall be
about all in use as that day draws
nigh justice and common sense will
dictate to them the ACCESSIBILITY OF
saying nothing more about higher
rates.
