TWO KINDS OF GIRLS.

There are two kinds of girls in
this and every other community.
One is the kind that appears best
abroad-the girls that are good for
parties, rides, visits, balls and
cards, and whose chief delights are
in such things. The other is the
kind that appears best at home
the girls that are useful and cheer
full in the dining-room, a sick
room, and all the precincts of
home. They differ widely in char
acter. One is often torment at
home, the other blessing. One

Senator Jeff" Davis, Of Arkan-
sas, must be getting pretty sore
about this time. Everything that
has come his way recently has hit
him a hurtful clip, including Tom
Helms fist. He made sixty-four
speeches in the recent campaign
in favor of the nomination of or
of his friends for the governorship,
and that friend polled only about
one-fourth of the votes cast. Then
Tom Helm came along and punch
ed him in the eye and thrashed
him before he could get his hand
on any sort of weapon, and low
the police at Little Rock have
soaked him $25 for disturbing the
peace and fourishing revolver.
How can really devllish fellow
like Senator Davis retain his pop
ularity if he keeps on getting bat

THE SOUTH AND INVESTORS.

A particularly important speech
at the banquet of the Board of
Trade was that of Hon. James
Byrne of New York on Railroads
and Investors. :" 1t was important
because Mr.. Byrne showed clearly
the conditions that must exist be-
fore investors will put money in Sc
curities. It is admitted that the
south is only just beginning TO de-
velope her resources. For the de-
velopement of these resources
money is absolutely necessary.
Before money can be obtained 1T
must be made clear that the peo-
pie of the localities in which OPP
portunities for investment are pre-.
sented are not hostile to capital,
that they will not seek to destroy
the values on which securities are
based and they will insist on carry
ing out their contracts in good
faith. All of this is of course in
addition to the fact that the securi-
ties offered promise fair return
on the money invested i'll them.
What we have in mind is this:
At the foregoing banquet the Gov
ernor called attention to the mag
nificent water powers of Georgia.
They were sufficient he said, to
run all the mills of New England
and the Middle States. Before
being available for development
purposes these water powers must
be harnessed, as it were. To build
dams, and provide electric machin-
cry will require many millions of
dollars. One company that was
formed recently to develop water
powers in Middle Georgia, a COM
pany that intends. to supply cleo
tricity for street railways, and
mills of one kind another and to
furnish light. This company pro-
poses capitalization of $45, 000,-
600. Where is so great sum of
money to come from? Where are
the company's bonds to be mar
keted ? The greater part of the
money will have TO be obtained at
the money centers. The COM
pany's bonds will be offered in
New York. If on examination it
is found that the people generally
and the state officials are hostile
to corporations will it be possible
to dispose of the bonds on reason
able terms Will it be possible
to dispose of them at all? Will
capitalists take the risk of buying
them if it is believed that every
possible opportunity will be util-
lied to lessen the value of the pro-
perty on which the bonds are
based? A moments thought will
furnish that answer to the ques-
ton. If there were any doubt as
to the safety of the investment
offered the bonds couldn't be mar
keted. The consequence would be
that very large section of coun-
try-a section properly developed
would pay Ave times the amount
of taxes it now pays-would re-
main 1ndeveloped.
The same thing is true respect
ing railroads and other improve
ments. All these things cost
money, and the money can be OBJ
tanned only on assurance that when
invested the investment will be
safe, SO far as the people and those
administering the local govern
ment are concerned.-Savannah
