Some day, perhaps, there will be

the position of oblivion and semi
contempt in which his memory now
rests Hugh McCulloch, intimate
friend and confidential adviser of
Lincoln, in his last years said of
Johnson: He had many faults, but
he abounded in admirable qualities.
His love for the Union was a passion
intensified by the dangers to which it
had exposed him, and by his labors
in its defence. 1t was his devotion to
the Union which caused him to OPP

ITALY's GREAT TRAGEDY

All of the reports from Italy con
firm the first limitations that the
recent earthquakes in the extreme
Southern districts Of the peninsula,
and in the adjacent island of Sicily
would rank among the most destruc-
tive in the recorded history of seis-
mic disturbances. While it will be
impossible for some days to obtain
accurate information, it is now APP
preciated that the initial reports
greatly minimized the loss of lives
and destruction of property. Be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 people are
believed to have been killed, probably
as many more injured, and the loss
of property will pass into the mill
lions of dollars Destitution on
great scale will ensue, despite the
tremendous efforts of the Italian
government to furnish relief, and the
horrors of the earthquake hours will
be succeeded by the miseries of dis
ease and privation and the mental
agony that must come to the miser-
able survivors of one of the great
est catastrophes of modern times.
The Pope, who has contributed liber-
ally to the relief fund, has appealed
to Roman Catholics throughout the
world to assist in the care of the
unfortunateS, an appeal that should
not have its response only from the
fellow communicates of the sufferers
but from all men, regardless of
church affiliations Human sympathy
knows no church bounds, the spirit
of brotherly love is not circumscrib-
ed by the ecclesiastical organizations.
Protestant, Catholic, Mohamme-
dan, infdel, all alike can
feel for the agonies and
distresses of their fellow men.

CENTENARY OF ANDREW JOHN.
SONS BIRTHDAY.

Last Tuesday, December %, was
the centennial of the birth of Andrew
Johnson, president of the United
States, successor in the office to
Abraham Lincoln, and the only pres
ident in the history of the country to
this time to be impeached by Con-
gress. As might have been expected,
there were no gatherings of public
men in honor of this occasion, no
eulogies to the dead no magazine ar
ticles dealing with his life. An oc-
casional passing reference in news
paper columns was all Andrew
Johnson, it would seem from the
neglect heaped upon him, was I'M
worthy of his high Office, undeserving
of fame. and no fit subject to recall
to the memory of the generations
that have grown up since the war
1t is the belief of those who closely
studied the war era and the years
that Immediately followed it, that
justice has never been done to An
drew Johnson. Some have gone so
far as to assert that had Lincoln
lived Lincoln would have fallen a
victim to the insensate rage of the
radical element that had secured
control in Congress and inflamed
public sentiment in the North to such
an extent that even Lincoln would
have been misrepresented, misunder
stood, and finally condemned. John

4 NEGLECTED GEORGIA FRUIT

Georgia apples took the second
prize at the Spokane. Wash, fair.
They were raised up in Rabun coun-
ty, were large, rosy checked. firm.
yet juicy, fine samples of what this
State can do in the production OF
one of the most delicious. most
healthful, and most saIeable fruits
1t has been shown many times in
the past that a large section of Nor
thern Georgia is adapted to apple
culture. Apples in recent years have
been very high in price, good New
York fruit bringing easily $3.50 to
$3.50 a barrel in the leading markets
of the country Vast quantities of
American apples have been shipped
abroad, where they are a favorite
fruit. the home consumption of them
is only limited by the offering sup
plies, and there is every reason why
their cultivation should be encourage
ed in this or any other state where
climate conditions are favorable
We recall that on the old home
place of the next governor of Geor-
gia, at Marietta, there are fine apple
trees in which Mr.. Brown takes an
especial pleasure. These trees were
planted by him, have thrived and bear
large crops of fruit that is of fine
quality as well as of enticing ap-
pearance. All that part of Georgia
is said to be peculiarly adapted to
apple culture Doubtless there are
considerable more apples raised in
Georgia than the public in general is
aware of, but there is also no doubt
that the quantity marketed every
year is not a 1.-THE of what it should
be.
Georgia neglects many opportunit-
les. No one questions that. North
Georgia is neglecting one in apple
culture, other sections are neglecting
other opportunities to diversity their
money making crops and increase
their wealth year by year Sumter
county is neglecting its opportunities
as a dairy section. We could produce
as fine butter here as in the famous
Elgin district, but we pay 80 cents a
pound for New York or Western but
ter and refuse to take advantage of
the opportunity nature has put at our
hand. So it is with other parts of
the State. Georgia is rich, but it is
poor alongside of what it should be
and il will remain poorer than it
should be just as long as it shuts the
door in its own face. AS long as we
send hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars away for apples, and butter, and
hams, and bacon, and beef, and hay,
and oats and corn, and content our
selves with raising cotton that may
bring ten cents a pound, and then
again may not bring over 812, just
that long we will continue to COM
plain, to feel bitter against the sue
cesssful elsewhere, and to abuse a
the benefit of others. AS a matter OF
fact we are robbing ourselves. The
other fellows are simply profiting by
our determination not to seize the
opportunities that lie all around us.
We are like the Hindoo in the old
story who went far away hunting for
diamonds while acres of the precious
stones lay right in front of his own
house.

this to say of his character and
work:
Johnson's is name truly unhor-
ored and unsung. Yet there is much
to be said to his honor and credit.
He was a type Of the true American
of his hour, of lowly birth, of great
courage and tenacity of purpose, of
high ideals. He served his State and
country we'll in many Offices, local
and National AS Governor, Repres-
entative in Congress, and United
States Senator, and afterward as
Military Governor of Tennessee dur
ing the great conflict, he was one of
the most popular men in the country.
As President he was perhaps the
least popular, the least understood
But it must be remembered that
the difference of opinion of the Exc
cutive and the majority in Congress
regarding the terms and the spirit of
reconstruction began in Lincoln's Adj
ministration, not Johnson's. Dis
sent was apparent when Lincoln is
sued his Proclamation of Amnesty in
the Spring of 1864 1t grew into
open rupture by June of that year.
The majority. long before hostilities
had ceased, held to the theory that
the seeded States, once conquered,
were to be regarded as outlying pro-
yinces with no rights at ALL The
large-hearted, broad-minded policy of
the War President was not generally
accepted.
Johnson succeeded to a burden of
grave responsibilities beyond his
strength in a time of mighty civil
problems without precedent, a time
of hot blood and rancor. of incapable
craftsmanship and general wrong
Medicines. Lincoln was manifestly
greater than the majority in Con-

gress. In the face of its opposition
Johnson seemed pitiably small. He
lacked the temper, the GOODNESS Of
judgment, the clearness of vision to
grapple successfully, in the circum-
stances, with such bewilderments as
the status of the freedmen, the reor-
ganization of the seeded States, and
the restoration of the franchise. Seen
in perspective, the succeeding period
of Reconstruction explains the man,
if it does not vindicate his Judgment
and establish his title to constructive
craftsmanship. He was a relatively
small man in a big place, but his
punishment was too severe.

WHAT INDIVIDUAL THRIFT WILL
DO.

The present wealth of the French
! people is placed at forty-f1ve billion
| dollars, or more than one thousand
dollars for every man, woman and
child. In no other country is wealth
| so well distributed, in no other coun-
try is there less actual suffering from
poverty, in no other country is there
probably more intelligent thrift, more
sagacious saving, more determination
on the part of the masses to render
themselves independent against the
days of illness, decrepitude and old
age.
France is essentially a land where
wastefulness is unknown, where the
"wilful waste that makes woeful
want" is conspicuous by its absence
There is probably enough food vast
ed in the South by improvident
housekeepers, or ruined by ignorant
cooks, to feed the French nation The
French know no such criminal con-
tempt of the future.
Because of this carefulness in
small things the French people are
accommodating, it is stated, at the rate
of a billion dollars a year, much of
which is invested abroad, chiefly in
government bonds. The income of
the French from foreign sources is
now placed at $35O,OOO,OOO annually,
and it is steadily increasing Small
country though it is, comparatively
speaking, France has become the
banker of the world" A country
that can loan a billion dollars year
from its increase of wealth well de-
serves such title. We are all in
clined to scoff at the French as an
excitable, frivolous people. We have
apparently been misled into taking
the froth of Paris as representative
of the nation at large.
France sets the United States, and
especially the South, an example
worthy of emulation in this matter of
saving. this absence of wasteful
spirit. We are recklessly prodigal in
our manner OF living in this section.
We are wasteful to the extreme. In
vestigators declare that this is due to
the naturally improvident nature of
the negroes which has finally per-
meated all classes of whites about
them. Whatever the cause, the dis
ease should be checked. II the hard
times of the past year have had such
an effect they may prove a veritable
blessing in disguise. If the people of
the South can become more prudent
in their method of living, more
thoughtful in their expenditures and
in the use of their supplies-not PEE
nurious but simply careful-the re-
sulting increase in the accumulated
wealth of this section would speed
ily be enormous. The stern determi-
nation to no longer feed idleness, to
no longer permit thriftlessness to live
on industry, to no longer tolerate
waste in the household, would reap
harvest Of wealth that would be
astounding.
