MONDAY. OCTOBER 14. 1901. •MRS IA AT BUFFALO. In the distribution •( honors at th* Pan American exposition Georgia was riven a very conspicuous ptace. Under our state constitution it was impossible for the leg islature t* make an appropriation for an exhibit at that great fair. No attempt was made to raise a fund •for this purpose by popular subscription, an expedient that wws adopted tn the case of the grent Omaha exposition sever*l years ago. Only a very small amount could be tak en from the appropriations for the ag rtenJtural and geological bureaus but* it *M resolved to make an exhibit even with this sseaget sum of money. Fortunately, both of these bureaus bed collected a targe number and variety of Georgia jMdscts. and these formed the nucleus of a stat* exhibit that was ...ghty creditable and attracted much attention even where other states were represented by exhibits ow trideh S great deal of money had been snpnndcd. Bat Georgia has carried off many hon ors at Buffalo She won the sold medal for her collective display of agricultural pMduetw. the goM medal for long leaf pine products, silver medals for displays of minerals, budding stones, gold nuggets and gems and several others. No state te credited with more high-date prises at ths Fan-American exposition than Geor gia. The collective state display and the exMbit- of rwdrrxds and other corpora tion* wWch wen these prises have done muek td spread the fame of Geofg.a’s rich and varied resources. They have shown that in agricultural products. jn building stone, in woods and in minerals Georgia ta a remarkably rich state and offers mag nlftceai oppsrtunittes for enterprise and tarveatOient. The state exhibit and the others that put Georgia forward so prominently at Buffalo will be of great value to her. It will be remembered that with only about •9.PN contributed by patriotic citiseas Georgia carried off the gold medal for the best of all the state exhibits at Omaha, and there were more than 30 of them. And yet there were states which expend ed fTS.«W and S3*.ot» each m collecting and displaying their exhibits at that great ex poaffion Georgia can beat them all. OMENING OF THE FAIR.

Th* Jovrnal published recently a dis patch from Its Washington correspondent giving an account of sn interview which Capt. E. F. Howell had with President Boosrvelt. - The gentai Georgian is reported to have ssM to the president: "Ton ean build up a Republican party in the south on the tariff, but not on the negro." The tatter pan «f this proposition ta un doubtedly correct, but the first part Is certainly teilaetaue. f There is not now, nor has there ever been any controlling protection sentiment in the south, or the prospect of developing one. \ The protective tariff has cost the south thousands of millions of dollar* in the bounties that sb* ha* been compelled to pay eastern manufacturer* and the trusts which are the legitimate and logical re salt of protection. Though the Math Is now developing her owr. IndnstHte rapMly and tn a very targe seal* she I* not going over to protection ism. The real strength and beet hope of th* indimtrtaa of the south are to b* found in th* faet that they are not dependent upon high tariffs for their preservation and peomoUou. The south has unrivalled advantages for the manufacture of cotton goods. Iron and steel can be manufactured tn the south at tee* coat than tn any other part of the United States or the entire world. These are not theories or boasts, but plain statements of admitted fact*. Why then should the south array her self for protection and against whom should seek protection? Captain Howell is late in the day in laying down a protecttv* tariff as the owner st on* of a movement which is to rmetutlonlse polities In the south. H* is dtsUnetly behind the procession. It to clear that even tn the Republican party there t* a distinct and growing ten dency toward the reduction of many tar iff duties and the entire removal of others. Congressman Babcock, <m* of the fore most Republican leaders in the house of representatives, and chairman of the con gressional campaign committee of his , party, introduced at the last session of congress and will urge at the next session a bill providing for the removal of the tariff on every article that is controlled i by a trust. In his last public address, delivered at Buffalo on the day before his assassina tion. President McKinley said: “If, per chance. some of our tariffs, are no longer needed for revenue, or to encourage and protect our industries at home. why should they not be employed to extend and promote our markets abroad?" There are many evidences of a growing disposition in the Republican party to modify its policy of protection and to move in the direction of lower tariffs. When this is the tendency of the party that is the author and has so long been the 'special champion of protectibn how can it be expected, that the south which has never been for protection per se shall take It up and urge it as a principle. No man in the south has ever won party leadership or distinction tn politics as an advocat* of the principle of protection. It has be*n so because the great masses of the people of this section have been, as they are still opposed to purely pro tective tariffs. They have stood and stand yet for the principle of tariff for revenue, and there they will remain. President McKinley indicated just be fore his death the direction he was taking on this question and President Roosevelt has given the country an assurance upon, which it xelies that he wUI carry out the policy of bis illustrious predecessor. We do not believe that the Republican, party will ever dominate the south and it may be set down as certain that it or any other party wUI never be built up to supremacy-in the south by reason of its protective tariff principles. A GREAT REVOLUTION. There has seldom been a mor* striking illustration of the power of cleanliness than Havana now furnishes. It has been only about three years since the authority of our government was es tablished in Cuba. When that event oc curred Havana was one Os the foulest cities on earth. It bad absolutely no sani tary regulations worth speaking of and consequently Its death rate was very high. The first task undertaken there by the United States authorities was the clean ing of the city and the establishment of provisions to keep it clean. The result has been marvelous. Many diseases that were prevalent three years ago have been almost completely stamp ed out. Yellow fever, which existed con tinuously and at certain season* commit ted heavy ravages in Havana and from that breeding ptace often spread to our shores. has been conquered so far that during the past summer there have been rery few cases in Cuba and none any where in this country. It seems that yellow fever epidemics will soon be only a memory. The report of the Havana health author ities for September shows that the annual death rate on the basis of that month would be only 15.84 per thousand, which is the lowest fn the city's history. It is tower than that of the 2* targe cities of England, er that of 38 targe cities of the United States, same of which boast of their healthfulness. During the last three years a peaceful revolution has been wrought in Havana which has brought blessings of incalcuta bte value to that city. Great is the power of cleanliness! IT WILL HELP OUR TRADE. The expectation that the industries and commerce of the United States will b* benefited immensely by the Pan-Ameri can congress to be held in the City of Mexico, beginning October a. is well founded. That meeting will be attended by representative men of the United States and every government of Central and South America. Chile held back a long time for fear that the congress might interfere with some of her territo rial claims, but has finally consented to ► take part in the congress. On tbe face of the fact it is surprising that we get so small a part of the trade of th* nations which lie nearest to us, but there is a sufficient explanation. It lie* largely in th* failure of our man ufacturers to study and meet the require ment* and taste* of our South American neighbors Our manufacturers have tried to force upon those markets styles of goods that they do not want and have put them up in forms that are not suited to their trade and methods of transportation. Some of th* United States consuls in Central and South American trade centers have called attention to tliese obstacles to the extension of our commerce, but their advice has received little heed. The United States delegate* to tbe Pan- American congress may be more success ful in impressing upon us thff require ments of the situation after they have conferred with the delegates from the other American republics. While our foreign commerce in almost every other quarter of the globe has in creased enormously in the last ten years our exports to Central and South America have risen during that period from >33,000.- 000 to only H 4.000.000 a year, a very small amount compared to what it should be. Our imports from those countries have actually decreased during ten years from Hlk.m.Oto a year to >110,000,000. Nations, as a rule, ta»y most from the pations which grs their best cnotomer*, and we would improv* th* pr*spect of increasing THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1901. our exports to th* countries south of us by increasing our takings of their pro ductions, many of which are used in al most unlimited quantities. Our antiquated and repressive tariff pol icy has stood much in the way of better commercial relation* with our neighbors, but there is a brightening hope of the lowering of this banner. The south ta especially interested in the possible results of the Pan-Amarlcan con gress because the industries which are now largest and most prosperous In the south have unrivalled advantages for sup plying Mexico, the Central and South American markets with the articles which they mainly buy. A TREE-LOVING PRESIDENT. Among President Roosevelt's many good points is his love of trees and his appre ciation of their practical value. It Is said that he will endeavor to us* his great authority and influence for the encourage ment of the planting and care of trees throughout the country. There is reason to believ* that his first message to congress will contain strong recommendations of reform in this direc tion, will outline a general plan of arbor culture under the direction and support of the federal government. He will thus be carrying on a good work in which President McKinley was deeply Interested and which he hoped to carry well forward. There has been in all parts of the coun try during the last few years at great Increase of interest in tree culture. Every year Arbor Day is mdre generally observ ed and th* number of trees planted on that day becomes constantly greater. The governors of many states, the may ors of many cities and other public offi cials who are in positions to help forward the great and necessary work of tree planting are helping this good and neces sary work. It is receiving aiu of incalcu lable value not only from scientists and societies, but from hoets of practical men of affairs who understand its Importance. The redemption of millions of acres of land that were once arid and worthless by perststent and proper tree planting is a great object lesson that should have its effect in every part of the country. JUDGE THOMAS G. JONES. The most notable appointment made so far by President Roosevelt is that of ex- Gov. Thomas G. Jones to be judge of the United States court for the middle and nortTiern districts of Alabama. It Is not only the most important office the new president has filled, but It is ■considered by the public as a very sig nificant bestowal of patronage. Governor Jones Is a life-long Democrat, has been twice elected governor of Alabama as the regular Democratic nominees and was one of the most prominent leaders tn the late Alabama constitutional conven tion. The appointment of a man who is so decidedly opposed to his political party indicates that President Roosevelt in tends to act on very broad lines in filling important offices. There are able Republican lawyers In the district over whose federal courts Judge Jones is to preside and several of them were urged for the place, but the president ignored politics ano chose the man whom he believed was best qualified and most acceptable to the people of Mid dle and Northern Alabama. Under a strictly partisan administra tion, such as we have usually had from Republican presidents, this appointment would have been impossible. President Roosevelt, it is evident, will make a departure from old lines in filling federal offices in the south. The politi cal effect of this po..cy is uncertain, but we do not .take stock in the uieory teat it will disrupt the Democratic party in this section or cause any great number of Democrats to betake themselves to the Republican camo. We may be sure that no such course wHI be taken by Judge Jones. The peopl* of Alabama undoubtedly ap preciate the liberality of President Roose velt and honor him for it. but it will not change their opinion on the distinctive doctrines of tbe Republican party or tend to any great extent to promote the estab lishment of a great white man's Republi can party In the south. But President Roosevelt has don* a rery valuable service to Alabama, judge Jones is in • every way highly qualified for the important office he has received. He has been found true and capable wherever he has been tried and he will distinguish himself as a United States judge. The Journal joins heartily in the general congratulation of both President Roose velt and Judge Jones on this appoint ment. WHEAT IN THE SOUTH. During the last five years there has been a notable increase in wheat produc tion in the southern states, especially in Georgia. The old idea that wheat could not be grown profitably in Georgia except in its northern counties has been completely ex ploded. Experience has-proved that wheat grows generously and to a high grade in mid dle and southern Georgia. In fact, the prise in the wheat contest for two recent years in succession was won by Spal ding county, which is near the center of the state. One of these prise wheat acres produced 50 bushels of first-class wheat and the other even more. There have been in recent years notably fine yields of wheat in almost every part of Georgia. That wheat is to become a far more important crop in Georgia than it is now, or ever has been, is certain. The Manufacturers' Record not long ago published some statements regarding the prospects and possibilities of wheat culture in the south from Colonel J. B. Killebrew, of Tennessee, which have been questioned by some northern newspapers. Colonel Killebrew stands by his state ments and adduces additional proofs of their correctness. He saya: “I can name Mr. Wolfe, of Manchester, Tenn., (formerly of Indiana), who has been growing twenty-two bushels of wheat on land that heretofore produced only six or seven bushels. I can name Mr. J. A. Cunningham, of Kimmins, Tenn., who | THE ANARCHISTS’ DREAM. Washington Star. People who regard anarchists as form ing a compact organisation, with definite plans for bringing about a condition of society that is without law, have no ac curate conception of the true nature of the fanaticism that in the case of Csol gosx resulted in the shooting of President McKinley. Anarchists are a unit upon only one Mea—that is, that all govern ments are instruments of oppression, as are laws and evefy means by which gov ernment is maintained. They want the individual to possess the freedom of the savage. Living in the manner they advocate there would be no private property and no law. With them a contract would have only the force of the desire of each party to carry it out and if either of them should repudiate it it wotild fall to the ground. It would take the temperament and the mind of a dreamer to conceive what the world would be like in such a condition of anarchy. The International Encyclopedia ot the edition of 1898 state* that of one school of anarchists in the United States, whose headquarters are in Boston, there are 5,000 members. These are of the vari ety that declare themselves in favor only ot peaceful methods for bringing about a condition of anarchy. There *re others who b*lieve that the best way to advance their common cause against all government is to kin the heads of governments. They do not aim at one form of government more than at another, but to them a republic, ruled by the suffrage of the people. Is as vicious a* is a despotism ruled by the will of one man. While the keynote to all anarchistic as sociations is such intense individualism that no man can be bound to anything he does not approve of, yet th* men indulg ing in these vagaries are generally divid ed In two classes. The first of these are the followers of Proudhon, who are called Individualistic anarchists, the second class being the followers of Marx, who are call ed the communistic anarchists or Interna tionalists. THE FOLLOWERS OF PROUDHON. The headquarters in this country of the individualistic anarchists Is In Boston, where their organ. Liberty, is published. The anarchists were said tn 1898 to num ber 5.000. They do not take any part in elections, as they regard them only as In struments of oppression. They disclaim any sympathy with violence as a means of bringing about a condition of anarchy. They claim that they expect a peaceful evolution as a result of their own agita tion to bring about their ends. With Proudhon, these anarchists deny the existence of God. though they do not make war on those who attend churches except to the extent of insisting that these churches shall be supported by voluntary contributions. They oppose any measure for the suppression of social vice through the means of legislation/ They oppose the rite of marriage and In its place advocate what they term “automiattc” marriage, which is a sort of partnership from which either party can withdraw at any time. THE VIOLENT CLASS The communistic anarchists, or followers of Marx, do not hesitate to commit any deed of violence in order to advance their cause. These anarchists gained their great est strength tn their society called the International Workingmen's association about 1872, after which It is very largely went to pieces. At that time Bakunine, who advocated an International revolu tionary movement for all lal>orlng classes to culminate In a general insurrection, was expelled from tbe organisation. This branch Os the anarchists directed its efforts especially against private prop erty. while the alleged peaceful followers of Proudhon assert that if state property and the force of the law is destroyed pri- raised twenty-six bushels of wheat per sere on a slxty-acre field, where formerly five or six bushels were considered a fair yield. I can name Rath brothers, of Tula homa. who drew twenty-five bushels of wheat per acre on 200 acres that had here tofore been considered practically worth less for the growing of cereals of any kind." Colonel Killebrew adds that he knows of many localities in Georgia where twenty five to forty bushels of what to the acre have been grown. Mr. Edward Atkinson has studied the subject carefully and gives it as his opin ion that the ’unoccupied lands alone in all but three of the southern states could produce "the entire present wheat crop of the United States." The farmers who have by their industry and skill illustrated the possibilities of wheat culture in this state have done Georgia a great service and pointed out the way to make wheat a great staple crop for our people and a very profitable one. It looks like they have succeeded in proving Schley guilty of profanity, but is that a crime In the navy? Josiah Quincy has been .nominated for governor by the Democrats of Massachu setts. Goodbye, Jo. The Hon. Joe Terrell has been silent so long that It is believed he starts into the winter with enough sawed wood, to make him feel quite comfortable. A movement has been started In Chic ago to boycott burglars from the best so ciety of that city. Chicago aidermen, however, still have entre. To the mind of the Detroit Free Press, at least one thing has been established by the Schley inquiry—the fact that "Fighting Bob" Evans had help in sink ing the Spanish fleet. School Commissioner Glenn’s advance sheet of hie Report to the legislature is winning lots of adverse criticism for views he expresses therein, observes the Ogle thorpe Echo. Such is oftentimes the fate of those who advocate progress instead of retrogression. More's the pity! An Augusta preacher says that the churches do not, take care of the poor there and that the city Is delinquent. The poor, he says, are chiefly In factory district. What's the matter with merely appealing to some of those Christian mill owners to pay their operatives living wages? The Hfe of an innocent bystander who was shot in the breast by a stray bullet in Philadelphia the other day was saved by a >31,800 roll of bills on hfs Inside pock et. Which shows it is well for everyone to take the precaution of carrying >31,000 of bills neatly folded over the heart while walking the streets these days. A Brooklyn man lived without missing his stomach for fourteen months after the surgeons had removed it. But The New York World thinks this is not nearly so remarkable as the fact that some men live right along for years without know ing that they are without brains. One of th* Greatest of Papers. Douglas Breese. The Atlanta Journal had a hotel leased for the old soldiers before the flames had finished up the job of destroying their hocne. It is not only one of the greatest papers in the union, but it is a bulwark of help In time of disaster to the people of Georgia, every man of whom should read that paper. * vate property will not be worth anything, anyway. But it is Proudhon who is regarded as the founder of modern anarchism. His , ideas were taken up by Russians and made the basts of a most vigorous politi cal agitation which .directed itself toward the killing of heads of government. UNION OF OPPOSING SCHOOLS. Next to Russia. Spain is the country in which anarchists have made most head way. Portugal, Italy and France have al ways been Irfßolved in the movement. The International Workingmen's association was founded in 1864. and was a combina tion of anarchists and socialists. The so cialists wanted greater equality through the means of state interference, while the anarchists wanted it by having the state abolished. The fact that these two sets of people, holding diametrically opposite views, should work together in carrying on an agitation shows much of the character of the so-called "organisation.” In the course of time this conglomeration of opposing opinions made trouble, for when Baku nine wanted to get up an international in surrection to bring about a destruction of all government and abolition of all law the socialists expelled him from th* organ ibation, holding that equality could be brought about only through the means of co-operative production which required a state to enforce it.

Roosevelt's Machete in the Political jungle i X According to the Washington corres pondent of the Brooklyn Eagle, "If Pres ident Roosevelt succeeds, he will succeed himself." In other words, his chances for a second term depend on how he pleases his party during his first term, or else upon his ability to make his administra tion so popular with the people that the party bosses will be afraid to interfere with him. But. according to this same authority. President Roosevelt is not worrying about the political effects of his acts. He is simply possessed with but one idea, and that ts to successfully administer the fcn portant office which he has been sum moned to fill. In filling the offices, he wants “pure men. north and south"—Re publicans preferred, but Democrats if necessary. This statement would seem to be borne out by his appointment of ex-Governor Jones to the Alabama Federal judgsbip, which was announced in Monday’s Jour nal. The Brooklyn Eagle man was con vinced that the appointment would go to a Democrat, but was under the impres sion that Judge Anthony D. Sayers, of the city court of Montgomery, would be the appointee. Mr. Sayers is a neighbor of Senator Morgan, was strongly urged, but Presi dent Roosevelt preferred to take the older man. The Brooklyn Eagle correspondent says: "The president has apparently been un moved by the protests that have come up from tbe south, in his determination as to the appointment of Federal officers without great regard to their past party affiliation. Th* best men available are to get the offices, and several southern ap pointments are soon to be made that will give the president a chance to show that he proposes to stick to this rule. M’LAURIN MAN TO BE NAMED. "In South Carolina it is virtually settled that the vacant colleetorshlp of Internal revenue is to go to Colonel Blaylock, the candidate of the McLaurin Democrats. Mr. Blaylock Is now regarded as a Repub lican, though he was a Democrat in good standing a few years ago. He was not Senator McLaurin s first choice for the vacancy, but the senator will be content with his selection. Mr. Blaylock is a cot ton manufacturer and a man of high character. He does not care for the of fice, but it is understood that he will ac cept if asked. His appointment would be quite In line with the new policy which the president has adopted, and would stand as another proof to the people of the south that the old days of office huckstering have come to an end. "Os course, the old organisation Repub licans of South Carolina continue their efforts to prevent Blaylock’s appointment and to secure the office for one of their associates. President Roosevelt has said to some of his callers who talked to him about this matter that it is his duty to see to it that the best men are chosen for all Federal offices in the south, as else where. Their political affiliation is of sec ondary importance. Primarily, his object is to reform the. public service, to appoint none but men wno have the confidence of the people. If any good political results follow, of course they will not be unwel come. ‘.‘lt is evidently the president's policy to call to the white house as many senators and representatives, of both parties, as can be had.

It is just a pretty story that was written by a clever writer, and it made such a hit that the character of Nancy Hart has been given a place in his tory.” “The story about ’who struck Billy Patterson,’ ” continued Mr. Smith, "was builded by a romancer. Billy Patterson was a Baltimorean, who had some land in Franklin county, Georgia. He came down here to see about it, and while here got drunk at the village near his lands. Somebody struck Mjn. and made him fu rious. He tried to find out the name of the offender, but failed to do so. Every time he went to town he made inquiry about the matter, and it kept up until it WILL PERSECUTION OF SCHLEY MAKE HIM NEXT PRESIDENT! Albert Halstead, the Washington corre spondent of the Brooklyn Standard Union, sends his paper the following of Interest: It would not be surprising if, before long, some one should spring a boom for Rear Admiral Schley for president on the Democratic ticket, however short lived such a move might be. The popu larity of Schley Is unquestioned, and whatever may be the decision of the court of inquiry, many people will look upon him as the real naval hero at Santiago. But heroes do not always make good po litical candidates, as in the case of Ad miral Dewey, for example. It would be hard to find ar. observant person who be lieves that Schley would seriously con sider the matter of being a candidate ft*.’ president, one paramount consideration being the chaotic condition of the Demo cratic party at present, and the extreme uncertainty of Democratic success in the next presidential election. Still, there are many enthusiastic Demo crats who believe that in the person of Schley they have found a candidate who might go a great way toward uniting the party and harmonising the various war ring elements. They point to the fact that the naval officer has no political record and could safely stand on any platform that the Democratic convention might adopt. They further insist that there is no other entirely satisfactory Democratic possibility for president, and general idea seems to be that his Demo cratic opponent will be John W. Kerns, the former Democratic candidate for gov ernor of Indiana and at present city at torney for Indianapolis. The political future of Senator Hanna is shrouded in mystery, none of his friends in Washington having any defi nite idea as to what he proposes to do. It is known, however, that despite Senator Hanna's protestations, he was a bona fid* candidate for the nomination for presi dent in 1904. and already some missionary work had been don* in his behalf. By swinging the southern votes in bls favor at the critical time and combining with one or two minor candidates the senator hoped to secure the nomination. became a joke, and a bright young fellow made a story about It. This is what caus ed Billy Patterson and his striker to live in history.” The publication which attracted Mr. Smith's atteption to the Nancy Hart story is a* fAllows: “A number of well known Georgia la dies left Elberton Saturday morning to visit the grave of Nancy Hart. The trip was made under the direction of the Daughters of the American Revolu tion. Mrs. R. E. Park, state regent, was present and directed the work. The par ty located the grave of the famous Ameri can woman patriot after wHom the coun ty of Hart was named, and will enclose it. It is intended that a monument shall be placed over it. The grave is located on a well known creek in a beautiful spot. t The Daughters of the Revolution wiU buy ( a tract of land around the grave and ■ make a park of it. Mrs. Park was ac companied by Mrs. E. B. Heard, Mrs. A. O. Harper. Mrs. E. B. Tate and many prominent Elberton ladies.” that Schley would be a safe compromise. Schley would hardly give any encourage* ment to the use of his name in thia con nection. Nearly every member of the Georgia delegation in congress has already called on President Roosevelt. The fact that th» preaident’s mother was a Georgian is very pleasing to the members from that state, and they are early in paying their respects. It would not be very surprising if the Georgians would ask and expect to receive many favors at the hands of thg president. Note premium list in this issue, make your selection and subscribe at once.
