ANOTHER INVITATION.

Louisiana has made a strong and
definite bid for those who want TO
get back to the ground, The induce
ments offered are certainly gen arous.
Some of the other southern states a'e
calling attention to their merits as a
home. Georgia is one of them. and
she particularly invites the agriclltur-
list who has some capital, however
small, to locate and invest In the
state. Georgia's good fortune In eli
mate and soil is pointed out Nearly
every crop grown in the temperate
zone, from the semi-tropical Fruits
and vegetables on the coast and sea
islands, to the winter grains and hardy
apple In the old red hills, can be pro-
duced In abundance. Barring rain.
OF which the average is small but suf-
hcient to produce the crops of he re-
gion, one can work outdoors 365 DAYS
in every year, and produce some mar
ketable crop each month. All 4 this
makes for the success OF the small
farmer located near the town, where
few acres carefully cultivated and
properly managed prove profitable
to the newcomer, be he native of
the United States or from the shores
Of Europe. lie is happier, too, liv-
ing close to nature, and when man
once gets the red soil of Georgia
ground into him, he always stays.
And so forth and so on. There Is
no doubt that Georgia is a good state.
Why shouldn't good old Connecticut
be calling attention to her usefulness
and beauty? What's the matter with
coming TO this state and working on
the land, meanwhile becoming force
full and dominating. as We were told
only the day the New England wealth
or makes us.

MORE REGULATION.

France is country where the au-
tomohile for awhile wendell It's way
about as its driver listed. hut of late
the French have been busy regulating
II. A law has gust been enacted In
France which Furnishes with a heavy
fine and several months imprisonment
any conductor or owner Of an automo-
bile. who, having caused any sort Of All
accident. or who having been in col
lision with any other vehicle or indi-
vidual or object, does not Immediately
stop and give his name and address to
the police or to other representatives
Of the law This punishment is to BE-
specifically imposed quite irrespective
Of the merits Of the case itself. Thus.
the offender would be liable for double
punishment; first, for not having
stopped TO give his name and address,
and second, for having caused the ac-
eidept. ON the other hand, he might
be held guiltlcss Of wrong In the mat
ter Of tho accident itself. but he would
none the less certainly he punished In
the first instance In short the pur-
pose OF the new French law, which
viii, II Is expected, be Immediately
enacted by all other Continental coun-
tries Is to separately and specifically
punish the. chauffeur who, having been
IN an accident. runs away without dis
closing his identity.
This Is entirely proper It is not a

law Is necessary, but as long as II Is
