opinion would be for some very pro-
nounced and decisive action.
AT the same time, it is true, as the
friends of Colonel Roosevelt say that
he was not treated fairly in having this
portion of his address reported; for he
did not deliver that portion. The opin-
ions thus given were, it appears, in
tended to be put into some other
speech to be delivered on some other
occasion, Still, they were in the ad-
vance copy of the speech which was
furnished to the newspapers as what
he would say. Possibly those reporters
who heard the speech ought to have
been aware of the fact that he did not
incorporate this part of the advance
copy in the speech as actually dcliv-
cred. They should, therefore. have
stated that this part OF the speech was
not delivered That is, if they knew
about that part being in the advance
copy furnished for publication 1t is
quite possible, to be sure, that the re-
porters did not know anything about
what was in the advance copy of the
speech, for it is not to be expected that
they wonld be furnished with copy Of
it so az TO determine whether the
speech as actually delivered was the
speech furnished for publication. On
such matters the reporters do not
check up speech by copy, as they arc
quite justified in assuming that the
speech according To advance roDy will
be spoken.
And if there is so much variation at
times between what speakers actually
say, and the copies they furnish of
what they intend TO say, we
should suppose New York editors would
be wary, and would have comparisons
OF this kind made, and the advance

lament, what a Joke it would be on
NEW LAND FOUND.

The account OF the find by the Rus
sian expedition under Commander
WillSitzky reads like fairy tale. It
had been supposed that the regions
ordinarily accessible ito navigation in
the Arctic had been pretty fairly cx-
plored, and also some Of those regions
not so accessible. They al were so well
known that the likelihood OF there be-
ing further discoveries in that region
were small. But there is vast area
between the meridian Of Boring Straits
westward, and north of Siberia, which
has never really been explored at all.
Vessels have gone through from time
to time, and there have been dreams
of navigation from the White Sea
and thence southwark There have been
some actual expeditions of that kind
but the seasons are SO variable and
open water is so little to be depended
upon that the old dream of commerce
with the White Sea and Archangcl
port as the center of that commerce.
has never been realized
The extent OF the discoveries re-
ported by the Russian commander is,
of course, unknown. He was prevent
ed from making further exploration
by the packed ice; but if the land eX-
tends northward as far as its bulk
from east to west might indicate, there
will evidently be here the best point
for any further expeditions that may
attack tho North pole problem.
Tt is, of course, not at all certain
that the land thus found extends north
ward for many degrees, but since
the commander saw high peaks far be-
yond the point at which he found
navigation possible, the presumption
would be that the land extends long
way north. The report indicates that
there may be volcanoes on the land
so discovered. and the temperature of
the water taken near the shore would
suggest some unusual source of
warmth.
The land extends % degrees cast
it. is quite possible that its discovery
may indicate q great continent with
high plateaus and solid land even as
far as few days journey from the
pole; corresponding somewhat to the
continent that affords access
to the south pole. It would be quite
in accord with the general balancing
of nature to have such a great land
and high mountain ranges in the north
to correspond with those in the south.
Undoubtedly the next great expe-
dition to the Arctic will be fitted out
with the view of exploring this land,
to measuring its distance to the north,
and to fixing its geographical contour
with scientific exactness. In the mean
time, this Russian discovery must be
as one Of great Importance,
geogra phically considered, and the
world will await with interest the fur
ther development of that great land
discovery in the north.

vance copy of the speech rs he in
tended to deliver it, he has no reason
to complain, as the negligence was his
in failing to give notice Of the climlua-
tion; but, on the contrary, the news
papers are the ones that were really
injured in the transaction And after
all, there seems to be NO denial that
the sentiments in the omitted portion
of the speech are the real sentiments

CHATHAM GETS
70 BALESFROM
COUNTY F ARM
With Price of Cotton at 10 Cents
Quite a Sum Is ReaIized-Sta-
pie Grown by Juveniles.

SAVANNAH, Sept. 27.-with 70
bales Of cotton produced this year
and with the price Of the staple stand
ing at IS cents pound, Chatham
County Is going to mako quite a lit
tie money from its cotton crop. These
bales, raised by the county itself on
the Juvenile farm and the county farm
proper, constitute almost the entire
crop grown within the limits of the
county. Tho county authorities have
no competition in the production of
the staple
At IS cents a pound, the county's
crop is bringing $6s bale. Twenty
bales already have been sold. This
amounts to 1890. The total county
income from cotton is expected to be
close to $4,000.
The crop was planted and tended by
the ccnvicts on the county farm and
the youthful prisoners detained at the
Juvenile farm It is being picked by
these younger prisoners With this
cheap cost of production, the crop
represents practically a clear profit to
the county.
This year 70 acres have been plant
ed in cotton, but the success which
has attended the effort has made the
authorities determined to more than
double the acreage next year. In the
production Of cotton the county is not
competing with the farmers, who con-
fine themselves almost entirely to
truck products.

made this battery famous since Rev.
dictionary days, will be retained. Both
local batteries will still be known as
the Chatham Artillery. This question
arose when the plan of dividing the
battery first was considered. There
was unanimous opposition to doing
anything which would necessitate a
change in name. 1t will be possible,
however, to divide the battery with
out changing the name, and this will
be done
The Chatham Artillery now has an
enlistment of approximately 175 men.
1t is believed the proposed division
will be beneficial to the battery in
many respects 1t will furnish the
State with another unit in this branch
and will in addition stimulate friend
ly rivalry among the two local bat
teries. With this rivalry for suprem-
acy in enlistments, points of merit In
craftsmanship, etc, the entire organ
ization will be elevated to a higher
plane of efficiency.
Just as soon as the necessary for
malities for making the division have
been complied with, the selection of
the men who will compose each bat
terry will be made. These will be
made by the commanding officers of
the two batteries. the selections to be
made from the roll book, each com
manding officer selecting one man al
ternately.

Captain Davant Will Be First
Major of New Military Unit,
Other Officers Chosen.

SAVANNAH, Sept 27.-Within the
next few weeks the division of the
Chatham Artillery, forming a second
battery will be perfected. This will
complete a third battery within the
STATE, giving the National Guard of
Georgia a battalion of three batteries
of field artillery, which is the total of
this branch of the service in the
State
This division of the Chathams was
made possible when the enlistment of
the battery reached a sufficient num-
Der of men to equin each battalion
with an enlistment of IS men and
three officers. 1t has been the desire
of the ChathaIns to form a second bat
terry for some time. The members of
the organization are enthusiastic over
the success of the undertaking.
In order to complete this division 1t
will be necessary to promote the Of
ficers according to their rank, each
officer succeeding the officer next in
rank, until the formation has been
effected, when additional officers will
be elected to complete the list. 1t
will require several weeks for this
formality to be gone through with.
Captain Richard ]. Davant, Mayor
of Savannah, who is now in command
of the battery, will be elected major
of the battalion, and as such will be
in command of all the artillery in
Georgia. The completed battalion
will consist of Battery A, the original
Chi than Artillery; Battery B. sta
toned in Atlanta, and Battery c, the
new battery formed from the Chat
hams.
New Officers Chosen.
elected are as follows:
Battery Awkward G. Thompson,
captain; George Butler, first lieuten-
ant, and Valentine Seyden, second
lieutenant.
Battery &c D. Wells, captain;
Gilbert Lang, first lieutenant, and Jo-
seph H. Thompson. second lieutenant.
Under the regulations a battery of
field artillery is permitted to have
two first and two second lieutenants.
AS the Chatham Artillery now exists
there is full complement of officers.
When the division is effected each
battery will have a commanding Of
ficer and two lieutenants. This will
leave two vacancies in each battery.
These vacancies will be filled at any
convenient time
Following the formation of the bat
terry, the election of staff officers Will
be in order. There will be a captain
and adjutant and a lieutenant quar-
termaster commissary to be named.
These may be elected from any one of
the three batteries. 1t is probable that
since Captain Davant is to be pro-
NOTED to be major of the battalion,
the Atlanta battery will be given
precedence in these appointments

Stranded Rich Man DeIuged With
Letters From Girls Who Read

usual and rather sympathetic story Of
Van Allen, a newspaper man, who,
after spending his first yearly al
lowance of $685. 900, is now living the
humble life OF q cobbler, by which
means he hopes to get enough money
to get to Birmingham. where he will
receive another allowance of $4,000
in February, rs girls have written let
tiers to Allen, proposing marriage.
Three letters came from Atlanta,
others from Waycross, New Orleans,
Birmingham, Brunswick and other
places. In all of the letters there
runs a vein of a sympathetic nature
and admiration for the man. They
seem to think that a man with MIR.
Aliens pluck is worth the while and
would make an ideal husband. One
of the Atlanta girls said the fact that
he was to receive a yearly allowance
of 900 did not appeal to her, as
she had plenty of money; that 1t was
his struggle against adverse condi-
lions, his pluck and determination
that she admired.
Mr.. Allen has been in Brunswick
for several weeks. He came here on
his "uppers," so to speak, and estab-
lished a cobbler's shop. He is lead

RAISE HOGS On
UNUSEDLANDIS
PLAN Of RELIEF
Representative ]. Lee CrawIey
Solves Problem of Meat Pro-
ductiOn in Georgia.

WAYCROss, Sept sT.-n every
member Of the Georgia Legislature
should follow the example set by one
of the Ware County Representatives.
]. Lee Crawley, Georgia to-day would
hear nothing Of a shortage in meat.
Ror . number of months Representa-
tive Crawiey has listened to the talk
OF the States failure to provide itself
with enough to eat, and he has in a
small way solved the problem. 1t is to
make use Of as much unused land as
possible and raise cattle and hogs on
a scientific plan.
Even while he was in the Legisla-
ture during the summer he started his
plans, and to-day he owns one Of the
largest ard most modern hog farms
in South Georgia. He has around 400
head as a starter, and hundreds of
acres to add to the small farm he has
been using as an experiment. Cattle
is side line for MIN, but he has been
unusually successful.
While evolving the hog farm idea,
Representative Crawley went a step
beyond and settled the boil weevil
question, too. He has planted every
thing but cotton on his farm, and
through his earnest work has gotten
many neighbors to do the same. He
says the weevil will surely starve to
death In this section as Il result of
such treatment He is a strong advo-
cate of diversified crops, and his farm
is an example Of the success Of the
movement. Sugar cane, sweet pota-
toes and corn are his farm products,
with enough garden truck to make a
profitable side line. Hay by the thou
sand bales is one Of the three crops
made on his land this year, and he has
already received good offers for the
crop.

Municipal Lights in
Waycross Planned
Projected White Way Gives impetus
to Movement for Complete
City-owned System.

WAYCROSS, Sept. 27.-Answering
the city's plea of no finances, business
men who subscribed several months
ago to a white way are raising a fund
for purchasing a dynamo for the
city's waterworks, the dynamo to be
used in lighting the white way. The
section of the city not included in the
white way will erect an addition to
the white way, donating it to the city
on the same conditions.
The city now furnishes its own city
hall and fire department lights. The
agreement to light the white way will
be the opening wedge for the install
lation of complete lighting plant by
the city. The existing contract with
the Ware County Light and Power
Company has only a short term to
run, and the city will in all proba
bility prepare for taking over the
light contract itself at the expiration
of the present contract.
