The Man with Sm^ll Capital. Atlanta Constitution. It has been objected by some that technical education should not be fostered with public funds because the fields for its employ ment are being rapidly pre-empt ed by the trusts and gigantic com binations of capital in manufac turing and other productive tech nical industries. Frequently we are told that the man who has only skill and small capital is being put out of the way of business and success by the overshadowing combines. Yet it should be plain to any observer that there are hundreds of profitable technical industries that the trusts have not captured and, in the nature of things, could not consolidate and control. The profit to be made from them in any given locality is too small to engage the cupidity of a trust and yet is sufficient to amply re pay the enterprise and industry of a small operator. New inven tions an creating new industries almost daily and in the exploit ing of these the man with techni cal education and small capital finds plentiful, opportunities for steady occupation and satisfacto ry returns. We find from the census that in 1890 there were 9,967 manu facturing establishments in the city of Chicago. There were 19,- 208 in 1900, or an increase of near ly 100 per cent. But the average amount of capital to the estab lishment was 20 per cent, less in 1900 than in 1890, which shows that plenty of men fopnd chances to invest, their brains, skill and small capital in good enterprises. The trusts do not own all those nearly two thousand factories in Chicago, nor the majority in St. Louis, Cincinnati or Atlanta. The truth is that the argument for giving varied technical in- stroction to the youth of the land was never stronger than today. Give them knowledge that will stimulate invention, the creation of new industries and the profita ble occupation of all those fields of production which are naturally elusive of trust control. In the south especially, where raw mate rial and large necessities abound, there are especially inviting op portunities for our young men with tebhnical education to trans form crude resources into Croesus- like riches. The trusts are many, and pow erful, and abominable, but they are not the whole thing in this country. The way will always be open for the independent and courageous owner of skill and short capital to make himself a solid business and a life-long com petence. Dou’t Fail To Try This.

In the twenty years between the census enumerations of 1880 and 1900 the number of farms in Georgia increased 86,065, or 62.1 per cent. Meanwhile! the farms operated by owners increased only 18 per cent., the remainder of the increase being taken up by tenant farmers. There are more than 90,000 farms now operated by their owners, against a few more than 76,000 in 1880; nevertheless there has been a steady decline in the percentage of owner-operated farms. In 1880 the percentage of owners who managed their lands was 5b. 1; in 1900 the percentage had dropped to 40.1, with corres ponding increase in the percent age. of tenant farmers. It is no ticeable, however, in this connec tion that there has been a large increase in the cash tenant farm ers—thqso who pay rent in cash, I a stated amount of labor or farm ' produce—and a relative decrease! in the percentage of share tenants,! who pay as rent a stated share of the products of the farms opera- j ted. | It appears by the statistics of the census bureau that there are j about 10,000 more colored cash ■ tenants in the state than white, 1 and about 8,000 more white share tenants than colored. Of the to tal number of farms, however, 141,865 are operated by white farmers, and 82,826 by colored farmers. The average acreage of the white man’s farm is 147.4 acres, and that of the colored farmer 66.1 acres; thus the white operates 79.8 per cent, of the acre age, and the colored farmer 20.7 per cent. It would appear, how ever, from the census figures that the farms of the colored farmers are slightly the more valuable, since they are credited with 21.8 per cent, of the value of farm property, while the whites are credited with 78.7 per cent. In Northern and Southern Geor gia the farms are largely operated by their owners,' while in Middle Georgia the tenant farms pre dominate. In 1900 about 60 per cent, of all the farms and a little better than 75 per cent, of the cotton farms, were operated by tenants. Sixty-three per cent, of all farms were operated by white farmers and 87 per cent, by color ed farmers. Of the white farm ers 54.4 per cent, owned all or part of their farms, and 45.6 per cent, operated farms owned by others. For the colored farmers the |percentages were 18.7 and 86.8 respectively. The Same Old Story. J. A. Kelly relates au experience similar to that which has happen ed in almost every neighborhood in the United States and has been told and re-told by thousands of others. He says: “Last summer I had an attack of dysentery and purchased a bottle of .Chamber- lain ’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which I used according to directions and with entirely sat isfactory results. The trouble was controlled much quicker than for mer attacks when I used other remedies.” Mr. Kelly is a well- known citizen of Henderson, N. C. For sale by all dealers in Perry, Warren & Lowe.

The English “Society for the Prevention of Consumption” pre sided over by the Prince of Wales, was recently addressed by Sir William Broadbent, who stated that it was definitely known that every case of consumption began with a germ communicated from some other case. There is no such thing as inherited consumption. There may be local weakness which tends to consumption, but the germ has absolutely to be planted in that weak spot before consumption can ensue. This ought to comfort thousands of peo ple who have “weak chests” or “weak lungs.” They are not foreordained victims of this dread disease. All that is needed to bid absolute defiance to this deadly scourge, is to be able to strength en the weak lungs, and build up a strong body. The answer to this need is found in Dr. Pierce’s Gol den Medical Discovery. It so pu rifies the blood and increases the blood supply, that disease is thrown off, and the weak organs are nourished into perfect health, which defies germs of every kind, People, given up by doctors, ema ciated. bleeding at the lungs, with obstinate, lingering coughs are being cured every day by the use of “Golden Medical Discovery.” It is a strictly temperance medi cine containing no alcohol, whisky or other intoxicant.
