Giants Club Reorganized
Regeneration of the Los Angeles
Giants has been effected and that or
ganization will start a new career un-
der new name, with new uniforms and
with four new players who hail from
San Antonio, Tex. Henceforth the
former Giants will be known as the
Los Angeles Trilbys, and the clcb will
be governed by q trio of managers, j.
White, the former manager of the
Giants; Charles Moore and P. D. Buck.
Pitcher Mooney, one of the new ones,
made a good record with the BrOnChos
of San Antonio, the past season. Money
is considered the best cOlored twirler
in the Lone Star state. Baby" Webb
is another of the same club that comes
we'll recommended. He is a utility
player. His brother, 3.NVebb, will hold
down the second cushion for the new
organization, and he also was former
Broncho. Last, but not least of the
new ones, is Otto Bolden the imported
200-pound backstop, from the same
Texas city. White, speaking Of the fu-
ture plans of the team last evening,
said: I'VE will claim the western col
ored championship and will defend it
against all comers. The Occidentals
have no claim to this title because,
when they defeated the Los Angeles
Giants and claimed the honor, they
were playing three white men in their
lineup Here is an opportunity for a
cloudy miXup that should bring out
every smoked fan in Southern Cali
fornia.
Manager Pete Hansen of the Dyas-
Cline team in the Trolley league is
looking for crack right-handed twirl-
er. Apply at McCormick's s pool hall or
answer through The Herald.
Bernie Mckay, captain of the Oak
lands, has been offered the management
OF the Mobile team in the Cotton States
league. Should he accept this offer he
will take with him Art Hensling of the
Vernon heaving staff. Bernie is we'll
known in Los Angeles. At the opening
of the last college baseball season he
coached the st. Vincent team.
Manager Andrews of the Gateways in
the Trolley league failed to put in his
appearance at * McCormick's last night
with the hundred bones that he offered
to wager the Giants last Sunday. An
drews made the proposition that the
Giants and Gateways play a match
game at Chutes park next Sunday for
a side bet Of $1OO, both parties to put
up the money at the Mccormick pool
room. Manager White was there with
the roll, but it is supposed that the
new addition to the lineup of the col
ored team put a quietus on the betting
ambition of the Gateway manager.
The Ontario baseball team wants a
game for next Sunday the game to be
played away from home. Call up Sun

UNJUST TO THE MEMORY OF
CLEVELAND.

The country will cheerfully vote q
pension to Mrs. -Montgom-
cry Journal. Well, let her have it.
However, it will look rather small
when placed with the 100000 or $780,
600 left by the Iamented president
Columbus Ledger.
This is an unkind, and, we believe
untrue thrust. During the last years
of Cleveland some of his political en-
emies, eager to besmirch the old Dem
acratic leader whose strength of char
acter was sufficient to land him in the
presidential chair, sought to lead the
country to believe that while at the
head of the nation he had used his of
ficial position to make imself inn
mensely wealthy. Some of them
charged collusion with the Wall street
interests in the issue of bonds, and
others intimated that he was mixed
up in speculation dependent on leg
islation, and that from these sources
he had become very wealthy. AS a
matter Of fact there was not the
slightest foundation for such charges
They arose from the malicious venom
of men who could not control Cleve-
land or secure from him the positions
they coveted or the patronage they
wished. After his retirement from
the white house Cleveland lived the
life of a quiet country gentleman, re-
fusing positions of trust with large
salaries attached, believing with Gen.
Robert e. Lee that it was not proper
to turn the esteem and confidence of
fellow countrymen into money At
his death his estate was small, less
than 100000, we believe, although
his literary earnings must have been
quite large.
1t is unjust to the memory of a
great man to continually repeat slur-
ring charges that we're originated by
enemies who were bitter because Of
political differences, or their inabili-
ty to move Cleveland from positions he
had taken on public questions, posi-
tons we now know to have been right.

$4,000 a year, may not be needed. Tt

A LAW THAT SAVORS OF THE
MIDDLE AGES.

Yesterday dispatches in the
Herald carried the news that Mr..
Graydon in the Senate and Mr..
Gasque in the House, had both in
NtrOduced in the Carolina Legis-
lature bills to amend the present
law that gives the husband the
right to deed away his child with
out notice to, or consent of his
wife and without a court order or
judicial investigation of any
kind--Augusta Herald.
The troubles in the Tillman family
have acquainted the world at large
with the fact that South Carolina has
some statutes that SAVIOR of the middle
ages when women were in a complete
state of subseryiency, with no prop
erty rights and no claims as to their
children that their husbands had any
necessity to respect
In the Tillman instance, after the
differences arose between the Sen
ator's son and his wife, the children
were secured from the mother, appar-
emily by misrepresentation taken to
the grandfather's home and then the
son prepared a deed transferring all
control of the children to his father,
the Senator.
The mother, it would seem, has no
rights in the premises at all. The facts
apparently are we'll established that
the father drank heavily, made life
miserable for the mother, was sus-
tanned, it would seem, in his attitude
by his own family, and finally COM
pletely broke the ties that bound him
to his wife. The wife, it would seem,
if the Tillman side of the story is true,
assumed airs Of superiority over the
Tillman house that were offensive to
the Senator and his wife and son. 1t
seems to have been case of incom-
patible social temperaments endeavor-
ing to mix, with very sad results.
But whatever the cause of the sep
aration no state can afford to keep in
force a law that gives to a father the
ie5AAt, N4LlOuC LuG COu5BuL Oh the
mother, and without the Intervention
of the courts, to deed away his and
her children, as though they were so
much live stock or real estate. Doubt
less there has been no case of this
kind in the state in many years or the
offensive statute would long ago have
been wiped Of the books 1t is incom-
prehensibIe that it ever got on the
law books of the state or that it ever
remained there any length of time.
That an aroused public opinion will
insist on its obliteration goes without
saying. We are living in the 2Oth
century, not the 18th. Perhaps even
the Tillmans may realize this, sooner
or later

PECANS-ALL Is NOT GOLD THAT
GLISTENS.

Recently the news item was sent
out all over the state that 81 ,00O an
acre had been offered for an eighty
acre pecan orchard in DougheI1y
county. A North Georgia man. with
an orchard of pecan trees, i1nmedi-
ately soughtthe address of the man
who wanted to buy so badly. The
North Georgian is perfectly willing
to sell his for that figure and might
even be induced to shade the price
and accept a bargain counter offer CT
$999.99.
But the Albany Herald insists that
there is radical difference between
North Georgia and a South Georgia
plantation Of this type. 1t says that
the North Georgia man evidently is
basing his calculations on the general
idea that pecan grove is a pecan
grove, and that one in one section is
as good as one in another But any
one who has looked into the pecan IN
dustry has found that larger and finer
nuts are produced in Southwest Geor-
gia than elsewhere i nthe world, and
that grove of improved paper shell
pecans in this region is worth ten
times as much as a grove of ordinary
pecans of equal acreage in anwother
section in which the pecan industry
has yet been developed
There are pecans and pecans, even
down here in Gods country, and it is
only such orchards as are planted in
the suDeriO" varieties that have been
developed III the now famous Pecan
Belt of MSouthwest Georgia that
bring fanc&prices as a thousand dol
lars an acre.
IF our North Georgia friend really
wants to get into the pecan industry
and have pecan grove worth a thou
sand dollars an acre and grow nuts
that will readily bring so cents a
pound in the market, he will have to
come to Southwest Georgia. To use
! an expression of the live stock breed
| ers, it is a "happy nick" in the soil
and climate Of this region that beats
the world on pecans"
The statement is made that there
is a rapid extension of the area de-
voted to pecan culture in this section.
It may prove all right We certainly
hope so. Yet it might be we'll to 60
a little slow in putting out enormous
areas in these nut bearing trees. We
have heard in the past of other Won
derful possibilities along some spe-
| cial line, ginseng, for instance, where
all a man had to do was to put out
few acres and after five or six years
/ so to Paris and live off the income.
Pecans may pay we'll just now, but
the ma nwho bases his hopes of a
fabulous income from the trees ten
! years from now may be building on a
very sandy foundation. 1t will prob
| ably be found in the end, just as it
is generally found in all things, that
! considering the capital invested and
the labor required, pecan orchards will
pay no better than peach orchards or
watermelon patches. Discount the
stories of vast future incomes very
literally before you buy land and put
| out thousands of pecan trees. Then
you wont be grievousl ydisappointed.

TO RAISE COTTON AGAIN IN
GLYNN.

While the newspapers in other
counties are generally urging the cot
ton planters to hold down the acreage
devoted to that staple and to increase
the areas planted in corn and other
grains, the Brunswick papers are
taking the other tack and are urging,
with the assistance of the business
men, that Glynn county once more
get into the field as a cotton growing
county.
Evidently agriculture in Glynn
county is at a low ebb when it is
found necessary to urge that cotton
be planted and as a special induce
ment offer free seed to the farmers
and prizes to those who make the
most cotton to the acre or get the best
results generally. Yet that is what
is underway down in the Brunswick
county at this time. A committee of
prominent business men is hard at
work seeking to interest the owners
of land in cotton planting again, in an
to build up the county. It is
stated in an appeal to the people that
prior to the war Glynn and the adj
jacent islands were noted for their
crops Of the highest grade of sea
island cotton. That this industry can
be successfully revived is regarded as
certain, and a number Of land owners
have already expressed their determ-
nation to make an experimental
planting. A convention of farmers is

explain the methods ofplanting, etc.

OUR DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGES.

Last year a thousand boys and girls
attended these schools. For the first
term OF the scholastic year 1909-10, the
attendance is 750; 558 boys and 1872
girls. Of this number, $50 are board
ers. The cost of board averages
about $3.50 per month and boy or
girl may attend one of these fnsti-
tutiOns for nine months at a net cost
Of $50 to $50. There were 738 acres
Of land under cultivation on the
school farms last year; the gross re-
ceipts amounting to $16,050 This is
a commendable showing when it is re-
membered that most of the work is
done by the pupils themselves. For
the first time the schools have had
something like an adequate mainte-
nance fund, since it will approximate
$9,250 for the present year The val
ne of the buildings and grounds is in
round numbers $4,000, which has
cost the state nothing"
In the above extract DR.. Andrew M.
Soule, of the State College of Agricul-
ture, probably the best informed man
on the progress of scientific agricul-
ture in Georgia, tells succinctly of
what has so far been done by the elev-
en- district agricultural colleges of
Georgia.
Georgia, we believe, is the only
state in the union that enjoys an ag-
ricultural college in each Of its con-
gressional districts Whoever the
originator fthe idea was he is GER
tainly entitled to the continued thanks
of his fellow Georgians Now in their
third year, these institutions are well
organized and just in position to do
the work that is planned for them.
The first year was necessarily one of
arrangements for the work The Sec
ond year they were all hampered
more or less, by the absence of ma
chinery and stock and the insufficient
cy of their funds This year finds
them with increased means at their
command, with their plants in far bet
ter shape than ever before, with the
boys and girls working more zealousIy,
and with the general machinery NOV
ing smoothly and satisfactorily.
Only in their infancy as they are,
1t is yet easily possible to foreteu that
these eleven district colleges will be-
come in the future the means of dis
seminating information about agri-
cultural methods, and placing on the
farms of Georgia highly skilled men.
that will be productive of rich re.Ilts.
No money has ever been betteA,,x-
pended by the state, or the people o.,
the communities in which the COLLEGES
are located, than has been invested in
these institutions. AS the state be-
comes richer and more able to meet
the requirements of such schools it is
will undoubtedly increase its appro-
preparations for them. Indeed, it
would not be surprising ten years
hence to find two colleges in each dis
trict instead of one Georgia having
set its face toward agricultural educa-
ton is not apt to ever take a back
ward step. And other states may be
expected to catch inspiration from the
work that is being done in this state

children can live comfortably on the
income from the moderate estate, but
inasmuch as such pension was CIV
en- the widows Of other presidents it
comes with very poor grace from
Southern Democratic papers to make
use of it to indulge in illusions TO
Cleveland's wealth that are manifestly
intended to convey an impression of
wrong doing on the part of the great
leader of Democracy. We would nat
urally look for such things in Tom
Watson's paper, but we confess the
Columbus Ledger is not one of the
papers where we would expect such
i'll natured reflections on the memory
of Cleveland.

the people will agree to plant as much
as two hundred acres.
All this sounds somewhat strange.
1t is probable that everybody in Geor-
gia thought every South Georgia
county except Chatham was a cotton
growing county Glynn seems to be
the one exception-or are there 9TH
ers. Anyway it is a decided novelty
to find county in that section that
doesn't raise cotton and has to resort
to hard work to induce its land own
ers to go into its culture.
