A Valuable Publication.

The Home and Farmstead, pub
lished at Athens, Ga, is a new peri
odical that promises to be of great
value to the agricultural advance
ment and material welfare of Geor-
gia. Every issue contains matter of
vital interest, and gives information
on rural economics that Georgians
must know end profit by before their
state can reach a condition of true
and lasting prosperity. The News
recently printed from the Home and
Farmstead very instructive article
on pork production in Georgia, and
today we reproduce some interesting
facts on cotton growing in the state.
Professor E. G. Branson and Mr.. E.
S. Bell are editors of the Home and
Farmstead. They are doing Geor-
gia great service, and we wish
them mighty well.

There is an undercurrent of feel

This may be said with assurance;

has landed what is said to be the
most enviable position in the law
field in the United States He IS
counsel for all of the railroads OF
the South at a salary of S35, 900 a
year with all expenses paid. His
clients maintain splendid offices for
him besides the payment of his sal

Southern men of brains are in de-
mand. They are regarded as hon

We changed the law about elect
ing United States senators, but nc
faint has attached to the election Of
any senator from the South since the
state governments came back under
control of the white people, This
speaks well for our legislatures thai
have been choosing the senator's.
Everybody in Georgia is gratit1ec
over Mr.. Brantley's good fortune
Ex-Speaker Cannon said he was the

South Georgia should make a unit
ed and strong pull to bring the expe'
riment station to this section. Its
removal to South Georgia has twice
been recommended by the senate
committee, and it is now largely up
to the people of South Georgia as to
whether or not it will be done. The
matter of location is not yet to be
considered. Go after the station
first, and when its removal is made
sure the matter of location can be
easily settled.

WE YELLED TOO QUICK..


From the Valdosta Times.
When the Times saw a report from
Washington the other day stating
that Secretary McAdoo had planned
to put from twenty-five to fifty mil
lion dollars in. the banks in thes agri-
cultural sections to move the crops
we pulled off our hat and thraw 1t
into the air with a yell of 'Rurrah
for McAdoo!''- We yelled beeare we
saw the order or got amy, of the de-
tails of the movement of money to
the South and West,
From a later report it, seams that
the agricultural districts ara not gor
ing to get the benefit OF, this money,
1t is not going to be sent tn the bank
ers who do business with the farm
ers, but is going to, be sent to only
two OF three, of the LANCER cities of
each state" The following is che
paragraph, which puts. suspicion on
Secretary McAdoo's order and causes
us to Withdraw the "hurrah" which
we. uttered when we first heard of
his intention and before we saw just
what was contemplated:
'+Phe7 additional deposits. will be
placed with the. national banks in
the two, or, three principal cities in
each, of. the states. where harvesting
now is, in, progress, and where the
demand for, money for moving crops
most conveniently can be, met. The
secretary said it would not be prac-
ticable to scatter the deposits among
the, smaller cities, especially in view
of the character of securities neces-
saFy."
So far as moving crops is concern
ed, we would as soon have the money
in New York as one of the larger
cities" of the South, for the reason
that the small banks which do bust
ness with New York can get accom-
modations there much easier than
they can from the larger cities" OF
Georgia or any other Southern state.
In other words, the larger cities
in Georgia-Savannah and Atlanta
are not going to put out money at as
low rates of interest as the country
bankers can get it in New York, be-
cause they can get higher rates near
er home. Atlanta needs all the money
she can get to back up the men who
are building skyscrapers and big no.
tells in that city. She has no money
to lend to the country banks at. rates
of interest that would enable them
to lend it to the farmers at the usual
8 per cent.
The currency bill is going to draw
money from the small banks and put
it into the regional banks'-in the
larger cities-and now Mr. McAdoe
is going to send his money to move
crops to the larger cities" also. We
are very much afraid that we demo-
Gratis are going to play the mischief
before we get through with it. We
have the reputation of playing the
fool always at the right time to suit
the republicans.

A Coming Test,

Special primaries in the Third con-
gressional district OF Maine have
drawn the line for the by-electiOn to
be held in September that may be
said to supply the first test of politi-
cal feeling in the country since the
beginning of the democratic admins
tratiOn. All the elements that were
made familiar in the national cleo
ton of last year reappear in the pre-
1iminaries---the division of the repub-
lican strength, the presence of a pro-
gressive candidate, the resolute and
confident union of the democrats.
The disposition of the republicans to
effect a reconciliation, a widespread
condition, was typifed in the offer of
the leading republican candidates to
contest with the progressive in the
republican primaries and to submit
to the choice, which would remove
the division, but it was rejected by
the candidate of the new party, with
the familiar reassertion of the indie
pendence of the new organization.
Nothing is lacking for a showing of
the strength of the three parties, the
extent to which they have beeen af-
fected by the developments since the
national election, and the result of
vigorous pleas to register a judg-
ment on the national administra-
ton.
The district is extensive in area
and inclusive of such a variety of in
Manufacturing, agricultural

The primaries have provided it with
candidates that will command theil
respective party following. The re
publican is the present speaker of the
Maine house of representatives; the
democrat is mayor of his city and ;
former attorney-general; the progres
sive is an ardent supporter OF Mr.
Roosevelt.

The Cost of Living Again,

We are all wont these days to in
dulge in a great deal of talk about
the abnormally increased cost of liy-
ing-to compare prices today with
those of ten or twenty years ago
! to comment on how much higher to-
days prices are. And it is undenia-
BILE that the prices of many articles
/ that enter into the daily life of the
people are much higher than they
were a few years ago. We all realize
that. In the list of staples, necessa-
ries of life, meat has gone abnormal
ly higher. So have some other food
stuffs. But it will surprise most peO-
pie who will take the trouble to res
urrect the expense bills or prices cur
rent of one or two decades ago to
find how many articles there are,
even of a staple nature, that are yir-
tuaIly as cheap in 1913 as they were
in 1903 and 1898. Let those who
have the figures to refer to make the
comparison. They will be surprised.
We are led to these reflections after
reading an article making compari-
son betewen some prices of 1878 and
the same articles this year, from
which the following is an extract:
"In the former year a sack of
-four cost in the section under con-
sideration $1.13; this year the
price is $1.15. A spool of thread
then cost 10 cents; now 1t costs
cents. A pound of lard is exact
ly the same price in 1913 that it
was in 1870. Muslin was 25 cents
a yard then; it is 10 cents yard
now. A gallon of oil was worth
$3.50 then; it is worth Is cents
now.
prices will be found to vary as
to some raw and finished products,
but it is evident from the general
run of the figures that there is.
plenty of latitude in the present
range of prices for those who
would defend them against the
charge of extraordinary dearness.
For example, while a pair of
blankets could be purchased in
1870 for $3.50, a pair may be pur-
chased in 1913 anywhere from S.
to $12. The same is true of cor
sets. The average price forty
three years ago was 1925; corsets
may now be purchased all the way
from 81 to IS. Wheat is higher
than it was then, so are eggs, so
is butter, but soap, oysters, nails
and numerous other small necessi-
ties are cheaper"
But for some reason land people
differ in stating what it isl we all
realize that in this country the cost
of living is materially higher than it
was ten or twenty years agone. In
considering this subject some people
are apt to forget that practically ev-
cry man who has anything to sell
gets more for his produce now
whether it be a dozen eggs, a days
labor or a chicken-than he did ten
or twenty years ago.
