We herewith, without solicitation
on his part, and without any conniv-
ance on the part of his legion Of
friends, constitute Col Max Banner,
occasionally of Columbus but quite
frequently of Americas, special am
bassador to the next session of the
Georgia legislature, to see that a sim
liar measure is introduced and pushed
through that body and made the law

Such a bill will undoubtedly arouse
support in every city, town and viii
lage of the state 1t commends it.
self without argument. All that is
needed to secure support for it is TO
have the caption read. Georgia must
have a such law and we know no
one more qualified to draft it than
our friend Banner. To him the state
is indebted, we believe, for the agita-
ton for clean towels in every hosiery,
and sheets that are not only clean
but seven feet six inches long. These
have, through some unknown
cause, been delayed ntheir passage,
but coupled with the measure to stop
washerwomen from wearing their
patrons clothes they will have a
speedy and safe delivery from the
hands of the committee to whom they
have been entrusted and a creased
passage through the house and the
senate to the Governors desk.
Georgia must have this law. 1t
must not be allowed to go out to the
world that in South Carolina the
washerwomen cannot wear the clothes
of their customers while in Georgia
no restrictions are put upon their
masquerading in attire that belongs to
others, and then fresh piece of cake
to every traveller, and the civilization
of the grand old Empire state if the
south will be complete in every par
ticular.
We salute Col. Banner as the hero
appointed by providence for this
work. 1t is up to him to make good,
to demonstrate that the trust we have
placed in him has not been misplaced
that he is equal to this, or any other

THE. DISAPPEARING GEORGIA
SHEEP.

In 1860 there were in Georgia 512,-
618 sheep. In 1907 the number had
fallen to approximately one
half
The same story comes from Tennes-
see and other southern states. Even
in New England the production of
wool has fallen off 100000 pounds
since the days when every farmer, ac-
cording to the New York Tribune, kept
a small flock.
Result woolens are much higher,
SO is mutton as we'll as other meats.
We have no dog statistics, but in
1860 there were no idle strolling freed
men with one or more ours or half
breed pointers securing pasture,
swale and woodland.
We have no doubt that these two
the strolling vagabond and his dog
play considerable part in the high
prices of meat and clothing.
The dog law ought to be amended
and made more effective.-Macon Tel

wife 1t to Americas, show It what we
have hereabouts, and endeavor to en-
list their cooperation in bringing de-
sirable settlers from the West into
this, the finest agricultural section of
the state. Once we induce a few par
ties of this character to visit Amer
icus and inspect Sumter county, with
its magnificent highways, its cheap
and fertile lands, its wonderful agri-
cultural possibilities as exemplif1ed
in what has already been achieved
they will spread the news abroad
and we will have no further necessity
of moving nthat direction. They will
come without further work on our
part. But we must get the first move
ment started. Is there not some way
the Board Of Trade can do this. 1t is
certainly its mission, its especial func-
tin, one Of the main things it should

The drift has set in this way The
eyes of farmers in other sections, and
particularly those holding the high
priced lands of the west, the lands
that are worth from 500 to 5000 an
acre, are directed toward Georgia, and
especially toward South Georgia.
Selling their farms in the West, de-
sorting its blizzardly winters, it's froz-
en- fields, it's snow heaped roads, they
realize they can come to this terri
tory, buy lands that are capable OF
yielding even more profitable crops
than those they have raised in the
West, erect fine homes, stock their
places, have considerable bank bal
ances left, and enjoy existence in
climate that has no superior on earth's
top.
No wonder their eyes are set this
way, and no wonder prospecting par
ties are coming along every now and
then. But we want these parties 20
have their attention directed this way.
Really one of the missions of the
Board of Trade should be to get into
communication with every such party
that enters the state of Georgia, in

There are other reasons than the
yellow cur dog, although the canine
cause was the prime one in originally
reducing the number of sheep in Geor-
gia. One of the other causes has
been the enactment throughout South
Georgia of laws that required the
fencing in of the stock This made
it impossible to permit sheep to range
at large over large areas of land in
many sections where agriculture was
rapidly DEVELOPING The fact that
farms were being opened up here,
there and everywhere, that lands were
being reclaimed from forest and waste
to the uses of the farmers, made it
inevitable that the old fashion ways
of raising sheep should pass away And
those who were in the sheep raising
business apparently did not see fit
to adopt new methods and gradually
let their fiocks run down until they
disappeared. "a
Twenty years ago Savannah hands
over a million pounds of Georgia
raised wool every year Those were
the days when sheep were still run
ming freely around the woods of South
Georgia. But there has been a per-
sistent decline both in the number Of
sheep and the quality of the wool
Enough care was not taken to keep the
strain of wool up to uniform high
grade
There is no doubt, though, that i
the dog nuisance we're abolished ii
would still pay to raise sheep in South
Georgia. The climate is admirably
adapted tothis purpose There are
still extensive ranges that could be
bought cheaply, and the wool, with
proper care, is sure to command an
excellent price and always find a
ready market. We doubt, though
that there will be any revival of this
dying industry. Sheep raising seems
to be doomed to annihilation. The
number of sheep is more apt to de-
crease than increase. is sad, but

A FACTOR IN DRAWING INVEST

AT this season of the year hundreds
Of tourists from the north and east
wealthy people, who have nothing to
do other than see the world and enjoy
life, are travelling from the colder lat
ltudes to Florida and Cuba, where they
will remain until the frOsts of winter
have gone. These people as a rule do
not care much whether they go to
Florida, to Cuba or to some other
place. They are getting away from
the rigOrS of the winter winds, and
would as readily come to Columbus
and spend few months or weeks as
to go elsewhere. Many would make
stop over here, if they should not
make a long stay, if. they could get
up-to-date accommodations. Such Wis
itors as these would look about the
city, see what it has and the probable
tiles are that many of them would
become interested enough to invest
