SOUTH GEORGIHS GROWTH.

The wonderful Development of the
southern and south western sections
of Georgia is admirably told in re-
cent article by Roland H. Harper IN
the Savannah News. The facts for the
article were CLEANED especially TO"
that purpose by Mr.. Harper, so that
they are authentic and up-to-date.
This section of Georgia is character
lied as one where the population has
increased faster than in any section of
the eastern states In actual figures
the increase is estimated at 81 per
cent. The remarkable increase in pop
ulation has been accompanied by an
equally remarkable increase in bust
ness and general development, which
helps further to explain the strides
that this section has made in every de-
partment of growth.
Many sections of this territory,
which to-day challenges the eastern
states to produce an example of de-
velOpment which equals it, had a pop
ulation in 1860 that was estimated at
four inhabitants to the square mile,
while it's soil was considered almost
hopelessly sterile and unproductive,
While complete census figures are
not available to-day, it is likely that
the population per square mile has IN
creased to a figure that compares most
favorably with that of any other sec
ton of the state While the census
statistics as to population are more
definite than most others, the com
mercial statistics, if now obtainable,
would give still further emphasis to
this story of remarkable growth.
In tn everest truth South Georgia IS
coming into it's own in every worthy
way Though the growth of certain
sections has been retarded, it was
only for a time. 1t is now true that
there is hardly a section unless it be
the Businesses of the Okefenokee
swamp, where the spirit of progress
has not come to life.

The Point of View.

Mrs Mary T. Metcalf, discussing the
pure food question at the Gotham
Clubs recent meeting at the Waldorf
Astoria in New York smiled and said,
according to the Washington Star:
Il heard a food dealer once declare
that chemicals in food must be all
right, since salt itself was a chemical.
"A queer argument, Ell? 1t depends,
you see, on the point of view. What
won't We say under the influence of
the point of view?
Once, at Niagara, a gentleman said
to his hotel proprietor, pointing to-
ward the falls:
Glorious, amt ito
"'Ah, but it amt what it used to be,
the proprietor sadly returned.
"'No? Why not?' said the guest.
The hotel proprietor shook his head.
Too many hotels he said

The MEXICAN PEON
HAS HARD time
Bishop AVGSITGIIS of CODii-
lions in That Land

The Churchman of New York City
asked the Rt. Rev Henry D. AYES
what was the matter with Mexico, and
lit W publishes his reply There are
100000 Mexicans, he writes, and
100000 of them are poems The
great majority of these poems have no
homes of their own; very few of them
can read and write. Nearly all of the
dado; 81 often ride from thirty to fifty
miles through a single hacienda" says
the bishop The taxes these great
landlords pay are merely nominal; ,
the peOn has to pay monthly poll
taE. For working from sunrise to
sunset he receives a maximum daily
wage of II IL cents-'paid chiefly in
corn" The Diaz government has done
something toward providing free pr
m6ry schools for young boys; in few
cities there are good secondary schools
for the sons and daughters of the
we'll to-do. at is not to the interest
of the hacendado that the peon should
become possessed of property of his
own" This is a hard world all around
for the peOn. The only government
officers with whom he comes into di-
rect contact-the alcalade and jefe pO-
litco-belong to the class of his OPP
pIessors.
There is a growing anti-American
feeling in Mexico, tie bishop reports.
Face prejudice has very little to Go
with it. Americans are disliked as
foreigners who get concessions from
| the government and enrich themselves
at the expense of the natiye-born.
Hence the popular cry of Mexico for
Gringo. The bishop thinks it unfor-
tunate that our investors have been
so intent on development and dividend
as to forget everything else. "Of all
the great companies delving after
gold and silver in Mexico" he writes,
mot one-so far as l am able to
learn, has placed here an institution
of any kind for the intellectual, moral,
social or spiritual betterment of the
people" No more have the American
iron and oil companies THE Span
iards did better than that" says the
bishop.
It's mistake, he tells us, to as
cribe the present wide unrest in
Mexico and this Chihuahuan uprising
to the activity of ambitious politicians,
or even in any large degree to dislike
of the Diaz government The roots
of the trouble strike deeper-down in
to the basic social and industrial con-
dtions. There have been two classes
in Mexico, the very rich and the
very poor. Now a third class-the
middle class-is slowly emerging and
beginning to find itself, and pushing
for a place in the sunshine It's the
bishops opinion that upon this new
class the future of Mexico depends.

How many of us complain that we
have not an opportunity to market Our
talents, when because our lack of in
dustry or careful preparation, our work
is not worthy of market.
l am a firm believer in the fact that
all our efforts are rewarded with sue
cess in proportion to the time and la
Dor we give to them.
Genius without industry will not car
Ty you very far. Work without genius
will bring to you a far greater meas
IRE of success than genius without
work.
Not long ago young woman came
to me with fearful story of the lack
of appreciation with which all of her
literary efforts had been met.
Il don't think the editors even read
my stories she said. They come back
so quickly and with only a printed
slip. / feel sure that I can write if
only l can get a hearing"
She was obsessed with the same
false idea that so many people have
that editors discourage all unknown
writer's and that either an established
name or some personal influence is
necessary to secure editorial attention.
There is no greater fallacy than this
for every editor welcomes good ma
terial, from whatever source it may
come. And no amount of friendship or
personal influence will make him pub
lish an inferior article
How long could he retain the editor
ship of any publication if he filled his
pages with Indifferent material merely
because it happened to have been writ
ten by those in whom he had a per-
sonal interest?

The Generous King of Bavaria.

King Louis of Bavaria, says an ex-
change resolving to relieve the needs
of one of his poor but brave aides-de-
camp, sent him a small portfolio,
bound like book, in which were de-
posted 500 crowns. Some time after
wards he met the officer and said to
him: "Ah, well, how did you like the
new work which | sent you
Excellent, sire" replied the colonel
Il read it with SO much interest that
expect the second volume with impa-
tience." The king smiled and when
the officers birthday arrived he pre-
sented him with another portfolio,
similar in every respect to the first,
but with these words engraved on it:
This work is complete in two vol
umes."

Danger of Extremes.

THE late Bishop Whitaker" said a
Philadelphia clergyman, according to
the Ledger, had very little sympathy
with ultra-high church learnings.
"A young divine once said to him at
a Lenten lecture:
Bishop, suppose l should burn a
few pastilles during service, do you
think anything would happen?
Bishop Whitaker smiled dryly, and,
passing his hand down his white
beard, he answered:
A good deal would happen, my
young friend Your congregation
would be incensed, your vestrymen
would fume, and it's more than likely
that you yourself would go up in
smoke"

He took his wife to see the game,
A frenzied fan was he.
He called the players each by name,
Explained the pastime to his dame.
"Ah, yes" she said, 81 see"

tie,
The home team up to bat
He turned to her with cleaning eye,
Some game!" he said. She made re-
ply:

When Bill McBiffer hit the sphere,
And knocked it out of sight,
He turned and hollered in her ear:

Quoth she: THAT hats fright!
And gaily did the batter's bling,
And runners cross the plate.
The fan, ah, gladly did he sing!
Quoth she: That hats a cheap old
thing,
A dollar ninety-eight!'
And at the finish of the strife
He whispered to his dame:
Believe me, twas some battle, wife! y
The answer cut him like a knife.
Quoth she: Who won the game?'
