prove satisfactory to those not to the
manner born. Georgia, it is plain. is
IN all loyalty bound to accept the de-
cision of her two chief executives. but
under our system of sovereign states
that decision is without binding effect
on this side of the Chattahoochie or
on the sunrise side of the Savannah.
1t is too negative to spread rapidly
TOO Dock-Cookish to run like wildfire
over the country.
Dock Cook is coming home via Mo-
bile and Atlanta. Mobile shows no
signs of welcoming him, and it is
plainly up to Governor Joe and Mayor
Bob Maddox to give the returning
nero a warm welcome. 1t is logically
due him in view of the bold stand
taken against Commander Peary by
Atlanta's two executives. If the lat
ter have the courage of their convic-
tons they will build arches and Or
agnize receptions for the coming of
Dock Cook in their midst. Poor

OUR HELPLESS NAVY.

1t seems that the various boards of
trade throughout the country that have
endorsed the ship subsidy grab have
been supplied with literature by the
merchant marine league in the form
of letter which is being sent to all
the newspapers that refuse to approve
the proposed raid on the national
treasury. did you ever stop to
think the letter reads, that our ma
Wy is almost absolutely helpless with
out a merchant mariner"
We confess that we have never
stopped to think of the matter at all.
because we have time and again been
told by our most distinguished naval
officers that in the event of war our
navy would prove that ship for ship
it has no superior in the world. But
the ship subsidists assume that our
navy is helpless because it is not suf-
heiently supplied with golfers and can
not be so supplied unless fat subsidies

Cannon of the House, and Sunny
Jim" Sherman, presiding officer of
the Senate, and by grace of the Tar
if Barons vice-President of the Uni

at the hands of the Democrats, as
sisted by the insurgent Republicans

in the gift of a great Nation, should
consent to such small and contempt

1t shows to what contemplate little

be run, decently and economically, on

Quite number of the best farmers,

The lecturer spoke with enthusiasm
OF the work already accomplished and

the benefit of more than one-sixth of

THE VALUE OF THE FORESTS

Forest preservation that is based
upon the thought of conserving the
water power of the country appeals
TO many; out stronger appear could
| be made, ii the argument for the utili-
cation of the land were used. There
are thousands upon thousands of
acres in the United States that are
not fit for agriculture, but well fit for
the growing of trees. Wise Europeans
not only preserve their forests by cul-
tivattng them. but derive large in.
come from them without lessening
their extent or value We must learn
the lesson. There is no nse in clear
ing away the trees and leaving the
land that cannot be profitably used.
What VIC should do is to recognize
the tree-bearing value of certain lands
and see that trees are grown upon
such land In that way we may OBJ
tain a valuable return from all the
varieties OF land and add to our ma
terial wealth.
It Is observed that in the German
forestry system several hundred thou
sands Of agricultural workers find EN-.
ployment in the off seasons OF the
year, and are thus able to conduct
agricultural work more economically
ard with greater profit than if the for
ests did not exist and the state ex-
tracts from the forests owned by it as
much as 250.000,00O a year Private
owners get as much more.
We have pursued the wasting met,

adopted. Register.

Mews From the TRIPOD
BRING IMMIGRATION sourHwARn

4 BRING INN IGRATION SOUTHWARK
The Record dislikes to discuss any
particular subject to the point of
boring its readers, but on this sub
ject, about which we have had a good
4 deal to say recently, too much discus
sion and agitation can not possibly
be aroused.
The first essential to a great agri-
cultural era in South Mississippi is
farmers. Those farmers have to be
brought here from elsewhere. And
the more the business men of this
section come to realize it, the more
impetus they give the movement, the
more actively the commercial bodies
undertake to encourage the trend of
immigration southwark, the sooner
will there be intensive and diversified
farming in South Mississippi.
The first word of announcement
SADIE of the Natchez Chamber of
Commerce was launched to awaken
public interest in immigration is from
Governor Noel, who has advised the
secretary of the Natchez Chamber of
Commerce that he will cooperate with
the commercial bodies interested in
tut mdttcI VI CdlilHB OIdI6-Wl0e
meeting of commercial FodIes to give
earnest consideration to the immigra-
ton movement. -Gulfport Record

GEORGIA AND THE NORTH POLE.
Georgia Is no pent-up Utica, and her
governor and Atlanta's mayor have
decided that Commander Peary is

Joe Brownie Little Joe of politics

overwhelming He dismisses with
wave of the hand Mount Mckinley,
while he exclaims, "A man may tell
us thousand lies, yet tell one great
truth. He has no affirmative proof.
All the cards up his sleeve are of
negative nature.
