Letters From The Georgian's Readers

a Southerner and a Georgian, he
has known no section during his
long and valuable service as ma
tional leader of the farmers. He
knows more about the farmers and
their condition than any living
man. Had the matter been left
with Mr. Barrett, his name never
would have gone to Mr. Wilson for
this appointment. But the demand
from the people was so great that
he could not ignore their wishes. 1t
is a case where the place is seeking
the man.
As to the paragraph in your edi-
torial referring to the rumor that
some of our Georgia delegation in
congress were possibly Indifferent
as to Mr.. Barretts appointment, I
believe l speak the sentiment of %
per cent of the farmers. as we'll as a
large majority of the business men
of Georgia, when | say that for any
member of the Georgia delegation
to fail not only to give Mr.. Bar
rett his personal support. but his
earnest. active and untiring sup
port. viii be held to strict account
ability in the years to come.
A Georgia congressman can give
no reasonable excuse for failure to
do all in his power to place c. s.

CATTLE RAISING IN GEORGIA
editor The Georgian:

Editor The Georgian:
The farmers of Elbert county
have won my admiration and | wish
to voice it through The Georgian.
They are going to send a train
load of cattle to market next jan
uary. not only to indicate their
faith in the money there is in cat
tie raising in Georgia, but to en-
phasize the necessity of raising
something else besides cotton in
this state.
Diversification of crops is to be
the salvation of the farmers of
Georgia. Georgia ought not TO buy
one bushel of corn, oats. hay or
foodstuff outside the state. Last
year we bought 100000 worth of
corn alone!
Let Georgia curtail its cotton
crop, diversity its other crops, and.
go in for cattle and stock culture.
More corn and more hogs in Geor-
gain that way lies happiness and
prosperity.

" HE discovery of the velocity
of light, which was mace
L. two hundred and thirty
seven years ago, by the celebrated
Roner. revealed the stupendous Sc
crets which without that great dis
covery might never have become
known to us.
BY certain calculations, based on
the observation of the eclipses of
hunters satellites, Romer ascer-
tanned the fact that it took light
sixteen minutes and five seconds
to cross the earth's orbit. In other
words. he fixed the velocity Of light
at about $4,000 miles per second,
an estimate which has been con-
firmed by all subsequent calcuia-
tions and which was finally demon
strated by Master Nicholson, of the
United States navy, in 1873.
With the speed Of light made

speed with which light travels, and
knowing that it takes it eight min
utes and fourteen seconds to reach
the earth from the sun, we know,
finally, that the big luminary is dis
tant from us about ninety-two mill
lions of miles--a distance that
would require a railroad train
travelling thirty miles an hour three
hundred and fifty years to cover.

have read Of that wonderful
beach myself, in some scientific
journal, and I believe that what is
told of 1t Is mainly fact, because
similar phenomena are known to
exist in many parts of the world.
and their cause has been disclosed.
These strange sounds, as weird as
the notes of an aeolian harp, are
sometimes heard on steep hilsides
where slides Of loose sand, set in
motion by the wind, or by the jar
of a footstep, trickle down the
slope. The effect has been COM
pared to a chorus of high-strung
voices, suddenly breaking on the
ear, with prolonged resonance.
More frequently, however, they
are audible on sandy beaches, and
occasionally they are so loud, and

Mystery Is Increased.
The sense of mystery is height
ened by the fact that the Ginning
sounds DO not, at first appear to
come from the ground, but to be
born out of the surrounding at
mosphere. When they are loud
and multiply in tone 1t requires but
little aid from the fancy to recog-
nize in them the various 1nstru-
ments OF an orchestra, played in
perfect time, but with an express
sion that seems more ethereal than
human.
Such phenomena are due to
musical sands" and they have
been scientifically investigated and
explained. No doubt they are re-
sponsible for many of the old SUI
perstitions about fairies, and about
aerial tongues which syllable

All sands are not musical. Music
is regulated noise, and in order
that moving sand shall produce
harmonious notes as its particles
slide over one another, 1t is neces-
sary that the particles shall be
smoothly rounded, equal in size
and composed of a sonorous SUBJ
stance, like flint or quartz.
Mr.. Cecil Carus- Wilson, in Eng

to the phenomena of musical sands,
and has even been able to produce
them artificially. He has found
