GOOD TIMES IN DIXIE.
No Occasions for Grumbling Down
Where the Cotton md Corn Grow.


The following from the savannah
News is expressive Of conditions in
Virginia and the Carolinas as we'll as
In Georgia and other Southern States:
Usually there is Il lot Of talk about
tho grumblings OF farmers. but II any
corn and cotton farmer in South l;eor-
gia is t,rumbling now lie is doing it
under his breath. SO promising is the
prospect for big crops. especially for
cotton and corn. that superstitious
farmers may think il advisable to touch
wood To prevent some unforeseen cata-
clysm that might hit them even at this
late hour. However, it would take q
very unusual display of Natures per-
VrrGcncEs 10 ruin South GcOrgia'S co.

look Is that when the harvest is over
there will he an unprccedcntcdly small
number of unpaid farmers notes In the
hands Of the bankers, and a mighty
small number OF accounts that will have
To be carried over until next year by
merchants for the farmers.
From almost every county there are
the very best Of reports, and except
for few acres that have been hit by
local hails;or'us, the crops are in cX
cellent condition. The farmer who
would grunbic with the cotton and
corn in such fine shape would be a
natural crouch. Last fail and winter
were prosperous seasons FOR Georgia
farmers. aud this year promises 10 be
even more prosperous.

Review and Outlook.

The bankers and the wholesale mcr-
chants and the manufacturers tell me
that there is a better feeling all along
the commercial and industrial lines.
OF course down IN the South pretty
much everything hangs upon the crop
situation and the Improvement in the
crop outlook brought about within the
past ten days has frightened up every
thing. The hay losses caused by the
May and June droughts have been
Enthusiastically adjusted" and so have
the other few losses, imaginary and
real, due TO the dry weather, and the
favorable seasons since the drought
was broken have put new hue upon
the crop situation. All Of this makes
better business and now the trades
people are figuring on big crop
of everything that was not materially
damaged by the May and June spells
of dry weather, Reports from ali over
Virginia and all over the South are of
the most encouraging character, and on
the strength of them business Is look
Ing up all along the line. Men who
had suspended building operations have
resumed the same. and banks that were
going slow on the extension OF credits
are loosening UP, jobbers and whole
salcrs, who were donning their think
ing caps are giving broader scope TO
their travelling men. and business gen
orally is expanding. All the trades
people and all of the bankers are look
ing forward TO big autumn business.

A Truly Free Market.

The following from the Wall Street
Journal is full of suggestion TO the
business men OF the South:
Why is London anie TO take toll
on the business of the world? The
merchant In Buenos Aires. doing bust
ness with a merchant in New York
settles his obligation with a draft on
London. If that draft is sound two
name paper. it may have score of
endorsements OH il before it is met
at maturity. But London handles the
credit, and pockets the mission.
What is the reason? 1t Is that
London Is Il free market for anything
Heavy us the British income tax is.
and great as the burden of local taxa
ton may be- no Parliament ever lays
81 tax upon process Of trade Lon
dons business is To maintain free
market for everything, aud it knows
enough not to imspose BURDENS which
will drive business away.
This accounts for the almost nomi-
nal gold reserves OF the British joint
stock banks. the largest i'll the world.
They have the advantage of the enor-
nous reservoir Of credit in the rcdis-
counting OF gilt edged and instantly
liquid commercial paper for the whole
woi Id. We are hoping to establish q
rediscount system here. Perhaps we
canEot enact one: but il our Congress
viii leave our commerce as free as the
British Parliament leaves the great
free market for everything in London.
we snail establish such II system in
time. and make the now Federal b.nk-
ing plan u greater thing than its ere

Had there been the same kind or re-
discountinS III New York that goes OH

been impossible for a commercial house

Two WAYS of Figuring.

Not many years ago u certain

of $4,000. AS 10 was deeply Inter-
cstcd in another mining property at

of the Fair week at high noon
four automobile loads were head

three o'clock west bound train
and at Miles City boarded the
first excursion train on the N. p.

For about a hundred miles we
passed along the valley of the
Yellowstone and as we neared
Billings beets we're in evidence
on either side of us and hundreds
of loads we're being hauled to
cars. Passing over the divide
the train shot through three tun-
nels and finally down into the
famous Gallatin valley where we
saw sheaves So thick that it did
seem that one could step from
sheaf to sheaf. At Folston a
great placard near the track
stated that the yield of oats was
IS bushels per ere and that
wheat yielded G5 bushels per
acre. On arriving at Helena we
found that our friend Truman
Ames had caused our shipment
to be taken to the Custer county
booth. 1t was through Clusters

was placed a fine banner about

To obtain bombs they applied to
Major Milan Pribitchevitch, secretary
of n Pan -Servian union and formerly
an officer in the Austrian army. who
had joined the Servians. Thru him,
Gabrinovics says, bombs and revolvers
were obtained from the ServjLn arsenal

that when the archduke was seen ap-
preaching each should hold bomb in
his right hand and bottle of poison in
his left hand and that he should drink
the poison after throwing the bomb.
Gabrinovics succeeded in finding ac-
completes, one of whom was a Belgrade
student named GRADES. The conspira-

where the bombs were divided among
them in confectioner's shop on the
morning Of the attempt.
