Virginia movement, and that
Gov. Mann, Of that state had de-
cided that an entire week, instead
of a single day. shall be devoted
to the consideration Of good
roads and determining how that
cause can best be advanced.
The congress now in session is
but one of the incidents of the
celebration. The president, who
was to have been present, has
been prevented by illness, but
sent in his place the Secretary Of
Agriculture, of which depart
ment the Roads Bureau is an i'm
portant and growing feature.
There are 300 delegates, repre-
senting 10 highway commissions
and other bodies interested in
good roads, with a plentiful
s~prinkling CT Governors, Sena-
tors and other high dignitaries
who, carried away by the popu-
lar sentiment in favor Of good
roads. are now working earnest
a5 -~ q
ly in this cause. The principal
purpose of the congress and OF
all similar bodies and conventions
has been to arouse public inter-
ests in good roads, because it is
by enthusiasm mainly that we
are likely to make the greatest
progress in that directions Thus,
while no aid or assistance will be
ask of Congress for road con-
struction the President will be
requested to call attention in his
message to the work being done,
thereby arousing popular inter-
est.
The road question is now be-
ing seen from new points of
view, and its Importance is bet
ter realized than heretofore.
Originally it seemed merely a
question Of reducing the cost OF
handling produce and supplies to
and from the market. Now it is
seen that it has bearing on the
cost of living, and will tend to
reduce it for the general public.
If. the farmer can market his
crop at smaller cost than hereto
fore he can sell for less, and thus
cheaper prices to consumers.
Moreover, good roads will make
life in the country more agree
able, for the farmer will be able
to drive to town more easily on
Sunday or holidays. 1t will thus
help the back to the farm"
movement. which means larger
production, lower prices and
better conditions generally. 1t
is gratifying to have the Road
Congress meeting III the South,
for nowhere are good roads more
needed. While it is true that
for the last few years the South
has been more actively engaged
in road building than the rest of
the country. having increased it's
expenditures for this purpose 100
per cent, against an increase of
70 per cent. for the other sec
tions, it is none the less a fact
that because of previous neglect
it is still backward and lacking
in the matter of good roads,

eminent has always held the
privilege Of immigration at too
low a price. In recent years we
have begun to appreciate the in
ferior additions to our population.
The country is large. Expen-
sive acres are open to cultivation.
New corners are welcomed in all
communities. but new corners of
a desirable character are the new
corners who do good.
Every growing section of the
country offers inducements to
the home seeker. The foreign
and over congested countries
abroad hear of this, and the sons
and daughters Of impoverished
families seek the new world for
new homes. Most of them es-
tablish themselves. build upon a
venturesome foundation and
achieve success in the end. Some
do not better their conditions.
The labor importers bring them
here with alluring promises and
leave them no better off than
they were in the old home. It is
this which has caused Austria
Hungary to prohibit immigra-
ton to the coal fields of Pennsyl-
vania.
There is another view of the
immigration problem. In our
eagerness to increase the popu-
lation of the country we close
our eyes and permit many unde-
sirable citizens to become cit
liens of the United States. We
open the gates and welcome
strangers, which is proper. but
we open the gates and permit
strangers to enter whom we
would do we'll to return to the
country from whence they came.
The fact that we permit unde-
sirable citizens to pass through
our friendly gates has be-
come lmore and more accen-
tuated with the gradual change
in our social and economic con-
ditions. In the report of the
commissioner-general of immi-
grafton, just issued, due empha-
sis is laid upon the folly of adj
hitting predetermined children,
but at the same time it is plainly
indicated that without a labor
ious and costly system of sur
VIGILANCE and of Investigation of
family heredity, the exclusion
of those that are very young
would be almost impossible. It'll
might be accomplished, but i'll
would necessarily involve arbi-
trary measures based, to an ex-
tent. upon suspicion.
In such cases the result would
often be an injustice and an un-
deserved hardship. For lack of
means TO disco IN feeble-minded
ness of children less than school
age, the federal government is,
therefore, in a peculiar position
and gives the stranger the bene-
fit Of the doubt.
The federal government can
and should exercise more pre-
caution in the admission of adults
who come into this country for
purposes Of prostitution and
crime. If the government guards
the older ones, the young will
not cause much alarm, for they
may be weak or feeble
but they can do no wrong at the
age of infancy. Commercial APP

is GEORGIA TO MAKE
A BUMPER CROP
Some Believe Greatest Rec
ord Comes This Year

Savannah. Ga, Aug. 5.-The report
IOf the government on the state of the
cotton crop in the South and the pre-
diction that the yield will be one OF
the heaviest in the history Of the in
dustry was received with interest ~
members of the Savannah Cotton EX-
icnange The majority Of them agree
that the crop is in fine condition, and
are further elated over the prospect
because Of the belief that if the crop
is large the demand for the staple Will
he proportiOnate.
The Georgia yield, it is predicted
will reach two and a half million bales
without oyerestimating the probable
weather conditions that may affect the
crop from now on. This will be the
biggest yield that Georgia has ever
made. The showers that are now fall
ing almost daily are of great benefit 10
the crop, but too much rain would do
great damage.
The factors and others expect to
see an early movement Of the crop. It
is anticipated that Savannah will re-
ceiye from fifty to sixty thousand bales
during the month OF August unless
rain interferes with the work in the
fields. The crop is not yet safe, though
it is far enough advanced for the pros
poets to be pretty definitely defined.
While confident that the yield IN
Georgia will be as large if not larger
than heretofore, not all believe that
the crop Of the country will reach rec
ord proportions. They agree that it is
a magnificent crop, but lean rather %
the opinion that the luxurious weed
and foliage has interfered to some eI-
tent with the fruitage of the plant.

CHANCELLOR BARROW
MADE SACRIFICES
Love For University Is His
Dominant Passion

Atlanta Ga, August "a very re-
markable fact developed when the par
agraph was reached by the House Com
mlttee on appropriation for the uniYer-
sity appropriation. 1t was shown that
the university proper receives less
than any of it's branches. Further ev-
ldence Of the modesty, the character
the nobility of Chancellor David Bar
row was developed, when it was stated
that he had personally paid out of his
own pocket considerable sum Of
money to maintain professorship, the
fact leaking out only by accident 1t
was shown, further, that he had donaJ-
ed very valuable property to the State
College of Agriculture Yet, Chancel-
lor Barrow has stood back year by
year and let other institutions get
more money, his modesty keeping him
away from asking for his rights.
Then with wonderful unanimity and
. eagerness the committee voted to IN
crease the university appropriation
from $4,000 to $4,000
The State Agricultural College got
$4,000, $4,000 of which is to be ap-
piled to farm extension work. This is
an increase of $4,000, and insures
widely increased sphere of usefulness
to the institution. Messrs. Hall Of
Bib and DuBose Of Clarke made elo-
.quent pleas for this appropriation
The state sanitarium was given
100000, an increase of $4,000. The
archaeological Schools appropriation
was increased from $4,000 to $4,000
ito care for 100 additional students.
Deaf and Dumb School will get $4,000
and the Academy for the Blind $4,000,
an increase of $1,000. The Georgia
Normal and Industrial at NIilledgeyilIe
will receive $4,000, an increse Of
$500.

DECORATIVE
LIVING ROOMS

Simplicity and space are the first
things to remember when furnishing a
dining room. Harmonious tones might
be extended even to the very flowers
which decorate the tables and to the
shades of the lamps. If there be orna-
ments they had better be few and good
Everything ought to be arranged to
give individuality to each piece Of
furniture. The Japanese are never
guilty of overcrowding, and they bring
out their. treasures and exhibit them
singly in order to accentuate that beau
ty which would be lost in juxtaposit-
ion to other things of equal attractive
ness.
A dining room may be oppressive if
its warmth of decoration is oyerdone
In many rooms of moderate size with
massive tables and sideboards and
heavy draperies the tapestry of the
chairs, the rich coloring of the carpet
and the decorative wall paper have the
effect Of COMPRISING and of envelop-
ing. There seems no air to breathe, no
space, no height, and yet the things
may be harmonious, the colors in good
taste. All is not in proportion, and
somehow the effect is wrong.
The drawing room of the past was a
room RELOCATED to ghosts, for the din
ing room was often used as the sitting
