To an understanding of the nature
and function Of plants used for home

knowledge of the enemies of these
plants. Few people think or realize
that plants are subject to the raw
ages of disease, as is man or the
lower animals. Certain mildews,
molds, rusts, together with myriads
of insects, prey upon plant life, often
causing arrangement OF the vital
functions, injuring its appearance,
and as surely producing symptoms of
disease as do other parasites, plant
or animal, affiict man.

Some Pruning Suggestions.
House and garden ornamental
plants are by no mean immune to the
ravages Of plant diease. Chief
among these is the attack upon orna-
mental trees due to improper prun-
ing Of the branches or injury to the
bark from otksr causes. It is not I'M
usual to see trees trimmed in such a
way that long sections Of the branch
es are left attached to the trunk.
Indeed. it is not unusual to see beau
tiful trees pruned with the ak, leav-
ing great, jagged arms to invite de-
cay. Trees manned in this brutal
fashion are surprisingly common.

observe the magnificent elms and

Nv In through the lattice the moonlight crept,
Bringing tide of dreams that swept
Over the low red trundle bed,
Bathing the tangled curly head
While the moonbeams played at hide and seek
With the dimples on each sun-browned cheek
When l was boy-a little boy
And OH the dreams, the dreams dreamed
When was a boy-a little boy!
For the grace that through the lattice streamed
Over the folded eyelids seemed
To have gift of prophecy
And to bring to gmpses Of times to be
Where manhoods clarion seemed to CALL
All that was the sweetest time Of all
When was a boy-a little boy!
I'd like to sleep where I used to sleep
When I boy-a little boy!
For in at the lattice the moon would peep,
Bringing her tides of dreams to sweep
The crosses and griefs of years away
From the heart that is weary and faint to-day,
And those dreams should give me back again
The peace 1 have never known since then
When was a boy-a little boy!

FIX THEM ALL UP ALIKE.


The committee on foreign affairs of
the house of representatives has re-
ported favorably the bill introduced by
Congressman Lowden, of Illinois, pro-
viding for the purchase or erection of
suitable homes in foreign cities for
diplomatic or consular representatives
of the United States of certain grades.
The bill should be enacted into law
promptly.
The neglect of the American gov
eminent to provide properly for it's
people to see the ambassadors and
ministers of one of the great powers
of the country in the eyes CT other
representatives in foreign lands has
been reproach to this nation in more
ways than one. 1t lowers the dignity
of the world uncertainty housed and
the headquarters of the American
representative being changed with the
change of representation, as have the
representatives of practically all the
other important nations and even
those of many CT the inconsequential
ones. That is bad enough, but worse
still is the inequality it effects in the
outward display of the countrys rep
.resentation according to the varying
fortune of the representative Every
one can not have the fortune of a
Whitelaw Reid-nor the lavish dispo-
sition of that gentleman-and the Ella
hcrate display at Dorchester House
during the four years of that gentle
mans representation of the United
States in England might be followed
by very modest appearances on the
part of his successor. The lavishness
of Mr. Reed is no more desirable than
would be cheapness of appearance,
but there should be some uniformity
'of standard, at least. The minister of
moderate means should have the ad-
vantage and the minister of great for
tune should have the restriction that
would be given or imposed by an
established residence, so that these
great disparities might not prevail
1t has been very rightly argued that
this movement to provide suitable
residences for the American represen-
tatives abroad is democratic move
ment as it proposes to establish
standard of equality in the outward
appearances of the Office of the Amer
lean representative in foreign parts.
1t should appeal convincingly to every
member of Congress and it should
pass without delay

THEY ARE COMING SOUTH.

The people of the northwestern
states, beginning with Illinois, which
have been patting and pluming them
selves on the high prices of their farm
lands are now getting the reflex wave.
Not only has their noise scared off
immigrations and new settlers from
other states, but it has afforded the
owners of farms an opportunity of
sell ne their lands and going to some
place where they can buy to better
advantage. The railroads Of Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas are overrun
with applications for cars for NOV
ables by people who are going else
where. The Gulf states are getting.
most of the migration, according to
the stories of the railroad men whose
positions give them a knowledge of
the direction of the tide.
There is no question but that the
balance of population of the country,
so long top-heavy in it's northern half
1 Is being redistributed, and the south
is getting the major portion of the
changes. There is a reaction in the
public mind as regards the agricul-
tural opportunities of the mountain
west and the Pacific slope. Lands
there are as high and no more valu-
able, if as much, as in the central
west. The south, offers sufficiently
good land, a milder and less severe
climate, with much larger number
OF acres for the same money. 1t is
becoming widely understood that this
section affords better homes and cas-
Ter living than any other portion of
the country, and the south will be the
destination 2: large majority of the
people who are changing homes for
the next ten years.
In this movement Georgia in general
and South Georgia In specific is shar-
ing largely, and the result will be the
reduction to cultivation of a large
part of its soil and The establishment
within its boz eers of Hundreds Of
thousands of prosperous and happy
homes. The assured success of many
of the colony settlements will be a
voucher to people in the north that
! this is a better section fer all pu~,
poses than they have been taught to
hold it. That information, once wide
ly diffused, the balance follows in tie

WANT lAokE SMITH AGAIN.

The Herald believes that a ma
tority of the people of Georgia
want to see Hoke Smith governor
of the state once more. His first
successful canvass before the PEG
pie and his overwhelming election
over a field of candidates, accord
ing to Democratic usage and GUS
tom from time immemorial III
Georgia, entitled him to the usla
two terms of two years each. That
was what he was elected for in the
minds of the people, if not techni
cally, and that was what, accord
in the state he should have served
and upon the platform on which he
was elected-Augusta Herald.
The Herald continues its comment
ty saying: with the insistent and
growing demand nat the people are
making upon him, we do not see how
Governor Smith can turn down the
appeal that he should once more be a
candidate for the governorsAip. =
Savannah Press
The News believes as sincerely as it
believes in the principles of justice
that the majority of the people of this
great commonwealth do really and
truly want Hon. Hoke Smith fcr gov
ernor again! The great masses / :
Georgia are opposed to violating
principles that have grown to be ira
ditions sacred and holy and they feel
that Governor Smith was made to suf-
Ter when such custom was relegat-
ed in the last election when through
a campaign of infiammatory practices,
deception and Misrepresentation the
will of bare majority of the voters
of the state were swayed to false theo-
ries and to grossest injustice. In
deed, the pendulum is swinging back
and it is carrying with it the resolu
ton of these misguided ones, who
chased away after new idols, working
a cruel hardship on one Of the ablest,
purest statesman Of his time, to rem
der unto Caesar those things which
are Caesars by& doing simple justice
to him!
Retrospection is not ever a pleas
ing avocationD and in this gubernator7
ial situation in Georgia it may serve
to prick the consciences of a few of
the leading politicians of the state,
for the part they played in bringing
about situation which has served to
do violence to the very sound principle
of democracy, that gives to deserv-
ing official a second term of the of
flee in question. Bat the people of the
state ere thinking and in some sec
tons they are thinking out aloud and
unless we mistake their temper. we are
persuaded to the conviction that they
are anxious to right great wrong
and restore to the man the position to
which they first elected him, following
as they mad done for nearly a half
century, sound stable and almost
inviolate principle of democracy
which carried with it a second term,
