THE WAY TO PROSPERITY.

Here is a literal transcript Of an
advertisement appearing in a Georgia
newspaper:
Wanted-To Contract for
1000 TonS Tomatoes,
100 Tons Sweet Potatoes,
100 Tons Peaches,
100 Tons Beans,
Gaming Factory.
This means that the canning fac
tory has encountered difficulty in Sc
curing sufficient crude products to
support its industry and meet the de-
mands of its customers.
And yet each one of these four ar
ticles can be raised in endless abund
ance and at nominal expense by thou
sands of farmers in Georgia
This means that we are inadver
tently blind and carelessly extrava-
giant in Georgia.
We are blind to the opportunities
that push themselves under our noses,
and extravagant with the resources
given US in perpetuity and without
limit by Omnipotenee.
Year after year we are content to
send millions out Of the State for
canned goods, and other eommodi-
ties as easily produced in Georgia.
We complain each year regarding
the menace of a bumper crop Of COT
ton, the occasional tightness of mon
ey-
When nhe simplest sort Of solution
offers itself to ten thousand farmers
and business men in Georgla.-Atlan-
ia Constitution.
What the Constitution says of
Georgia and the possibilities OF the
Georgia farm and the Georgia farmer
will apply with equal force to South
Carolina. Tomatoes can be grown and
canned in South Carolina and yet
practically all that are consumed IN
this State are shipped from other
States. Sweet potatoes and Irish
potatoes and beans all grow or can be
grown in abundance in South Caro-
lima.
Mott only these articles but great
MANY more can be raised with profit
right here and yet We send elsewhere
for them. We certainly are blind to
the opportunities that are all around
us. Nature is lavish in her gifts to
this section and yet on account Of it
possibly we do not appreciate them
or take advantage of them and 90 on
every year growing all cotton and
crying hard times and sending out
of the State millions of dollars for
those things we could produce at a
profit right here ait home.
The solution is simple, as the Con-
stitution says, and vet the farmers
90 on in the same old way.

it gives one to be obliged to ring at

One hears many amusing stories
about these dusky servants, by the

Charleston lady told the writer of

callers for their cards at the door and

ARKANSAS LEAGUE
 MEETING TODAY
Magnates Will Gather in Little Rock and Consider Situation as Affected by Brinkley Disaster.

President Hurst of the Arkansas State League yesterday issued call to the magnates of that organization for a meeting to be held at the Hotel Marion, in Little Rock, this morning at 10 o'clock.
 The destruction of Brinkley by Mondays tornado has put the league directors all at sea. President Hurst has received no word yet from the owners of the Brinkley club, and It is more than likely that they have been too overwhelmed by the magni- tude of the disaster which destroyed their town to give thought to base ball. However, President HulSt ex- poets to hear from them befUfes the meeting It is altogether likely that their wishes will govern the action of the league in readjusting the circuit.
 There is no doubt that it will be necessary to substitute some other town for Brinkley. Reports from the stricken city say that the grandstand and fence around yhe park were re- duced to a shapeless mass of twisted timbers.
 Manager Finn, of the Little Rock team, had partly completed a schedule for the coming season, but the destruction of Brinkley may make it necessary to entirely readjust this.

The News is pleased TO note thai
the graduates Of the Glynn academy
are considering the plan Of organ'z-
ing permanently an alumni associa
ton. The Glynn academy has beer
the leading educational institution II
this city for many years and amon3
her graduates are some Of the bright
est men and women in the state Q.
Georgia. She has contributed to tn,
higher arts, to the professions and te
the business circles of the state. In
tluded among her alumni are members
of the judiciary, mayors of cities, edi-
tors, pastors ana others who have
attained to the very highest pinnacle
in the affairs of the state and the ma
ton. Some of her sons have strayed
beyond the portals of the state and
have written their names high up in
the records of their new homes.
Some have passed into the Great
Beyond and have been garnered into
the store house of the Master; others
in the scar and yellow leaf of life
have passed into the twilight land and
are awaiting the final summons
In any event, all of those whom the
Reaper has spared will derive some
pleasure from the formation of this
association and we shall welcome its
coming.

THE eLYEN- mTNTosH PROPOSE
TON.

Nov that the GIynn county commits :.
sioners have been down to Darien and
have held a joint session with the
commissioners Of Mcintosh county on
the proposed movement for good roads
and the A., B. & 4. extension, it is
time for our people to begin a cam
paign Of education on the subject. It
Is safe to estimate that not one-third
Of the people of these two counties
really realize the magnitude of the
proposal movement. They are inclined
to look upon it as a purely local prop
( osition. They do not seem to catch
the idea that the road in question
would place both of these cities on
great roadway from the north to Flor
ida. They have the idea in their
heads that it's an automobile project.
that those who own these modern
machines are seeking Fairgrounds for
pastime.
How ridiculous!
The building of this road would
mean to Darien and to Brunswick that
both Of them would become stations
on a great highway OF travel, extend
ing from Florida on the south to
New York on the east. II would make
both Of these cities intermediate
points on this splendid trunk line and
in addition It would make both Of
them markets for hundreds of farm
ers and others in this section, who
would seek their merchants for bust
ness.
Ii would bring a new railroad to
Brunswick and It would largely in
crease the capacity ard the worth q
the only line now entering Darie6
It would serve to increase taxable
values in both counties for the simple
reason that it would bring them in
closer touch with The larger marts
Of trade oil this section.
In short. it IS a mammoth indus
trial movement having at its back
Ne best business thought Of tbe
soutn and the east. It wal make cit
les OF waste places ana its value is
almost inestimable

THINGS LOOK GOOD.

Conditions Of business the country
over are quite favorable to a contin-
uance Of the process Of recuperation
Prices of securities are on the aver
age rising in response to an increas-
Ing dividend return or prospect OF it.
Extensive Improvements in the
tracks and terminals Of railroads are
responded to by an advance in the
price Of the stock, because The OUTLAY
is taken as an indication Of bigger
earnings in the future. The impulse
given to the steel and car building
industries by the renewed animation
of railroads has sent men to work in
the mills and factories in large num-
bers, as well as lifted the prices of
the securities of the trust 10 where
it has engaged virtually to maintain
its common stock as dividend payer
ct per cent.
Notwithstanding the common cry
that business would wait and is wait
ing on the settlement Of the tariff
quesuon ard the adjournment Of con
eress tie careful observer notes that
business is steadily picking up while
congress is yet in session ard the ex-
act tariff figures are as yet not fixed
The crops for the year are in fair
condition, and the prospects for traf-
fe are bright. There are local com
plaints Of depression here and there,
