The World’* Desire.
The greatest desire of the world
is for spiritual knowledge—some
thing that will satisfiy, either parti
ally or wholly, the longing that is
n every human heart for some
thing better than now obtains.
Life in this world is very unsat
isfactory at the best; the griefs out
weigh the compensations; the div
appointment far overbalances the
success.
From this arise the speculative
philosophies and religions, the
many cornered basis upon Which
it is attempted to construct a buil
ding that shall satisfy ail demands.
.Religions differ as widely as peo
ples, and at times the world seems
to have gone mad in its efforts to
satisfy that one great consuming
desire.
From remotest time this desire
has been made manifest, and the
most repulsive and degraded and
ignorant aborigines feel it as well
as the most cultivated product of
modern civilization. s >
Doubt is the keystone of human
character, the foundation upon
which rests every achievement that
has made the world purer, better
and happier.
Doubt leads to investigation, and
investigation is not very often
balked of its triumph. Whether
the victory be a profitable one or
not is another question.
The rankest infidel, much as he
may doubt any such mental process
as pertaining to himself, is forced
at times to believe in a Supreme
Being, a powor which he cannot
understand, but which is so plain
as not to admit of sensible dispu
tation.
To those whose oyes have been
opened by faith the great truth is
so manifest as to make them love
even as they worship.
Is there a hereafter? That is the
all-important question that has
vexed the minds of many people
every since the world became a
world, envolved from chaos or in
any other way,
To the average human heart there
comes a mysterous someting, pres
ent now and then, no matter how
faint it may be, that the grave is
not the end of all things.
Ifitis.why then the passionate
desire, that seems almost divine in
intensity, for another and better
chance to gratify the infinite crav
ing that so completely absorbs some
lives’!
To the calm reflective mind there
The Church aud the People.
It Is published that a bishop in
New York has been urging his
clergy to arrange, each of them, to
take a weeks tour off duty at some
mission and so learn what the
slums are and what are some of the
most fetid problems confronting
the church. Bishop Potter did this
and was almost paralyzed by what
he saw and heard. Now some of
the clergy, feeling that they can do
good, have agreeably fallen into
the bishop’s suggestion. This
“slumming” will be taken up early
in the summer, and the clergymen
who have concluded to study the
seamy side of life will make great
personal sacrifices. To give up
temporarily a home of comfort,
with its intellectual and social as
sociations and of cultivated tastes,
increases the hardships. It is this
self-denial that first strikes the
causual oberver. It is not to be
lightly regarded or looked upon as
a matter of bogus sacrifice. When
to this voluntary sacrifice is added
the contact with the squalid, the
brutal, the vulgar, the foul, the of
fensive in humanity, the hardship
is heightened into actual torture.
The way to bring people to
church is the problem of the age.
How to persuadejthe indifferent and
the skeptical to listen to sermons
is one of the gravest difficulties
clergymen have to encounter, and
no definite reason can be assigned
why they do not become church
members. There isn’t a clergyman
in any city in the United States to
day but asks himself the question
“why do not the men come to
church?” and he never can answer
the question satisfactorily. Bishop
Potter on his mission at the Tender
loin district of New York partially
solved it, and now another bishop
wants his clergymen to make pil
grimages, not for an hour but for a
week, in the more squalid quarters
and by personal observation learn
practically why people do not go to
church and take steps to remedy
the matter. It is a most commend
able idea, but it is quite questiona
ble whether the churches can hold
the masses for their good by reach
ing down from above, so to speak.
Whether the impulse which per
manently lifts anything human,
must not bo born in the thing lifted
and not be injected into it from the
outside is another perplexing ques
tion. It’s a noble study and de
serving the gravest consideration.

Why Georgia Farms Pay#
The wonderful variety of com
mercial crops grown in Georgia of
fers a simple explanation of the re
markable showing made of the rel
ative profits in agriculture in this
state and elsewhere in the Tele
graph recently.
In no other section of the coun
try save the south can the products
peculiar to the torpics and those of
the northern temperate zone be
grown profitably side by side. By
reason of the mild climate there is
hardly an acre ot arable land in
Georgia which will not grow at
least two salable crops within
twelve months, and much of it does.
The land put in watermelons, for
instances, grows a heavy crop of
hay after the melons have been
marketed, and is then ready for "trouble with South Georgia is that
almost irresistible con- has solved the problem. Perhaps
comes an
elusion,that there must be another
world in which the mistake of this
are set aright; in which devotion
to high aims is duly rewarded ; in
which the Godhead is no longer a
symbol of empty thought.
The most Godlike attribute of hu
manity Is love. It approaches near
est to suppreme power than any
thing else, because it very often
rises superior even to the most ter
rible shadows that death can cast.
This love never finds full satisfac
tion in this world. Never really
enters into its birthright, and this,
after all, is the mainspring of ail
speculation, the very soul of the
world’s desire, to find somewhere
else what can never be found in
this world, that perfect love which
is the fulfillment of the law.

Champion Filraimmono.
The fight is over and Robert Fitz
simmons is the champion pugilist
of the world. The fight at Uarson
City Wednesday was the fierciest
and bloodiest on record. Both men
went into the ring confident of
winning and both were in the pink
of condition.
From the first the fight was fast
and furious, both men being on the
aggressive.
Fitzsimmons rushed his antago
nist from the first; and received
severe punishment before he was
able to deliver the knockout blow.
The lash round was as follows:
Bound 14.—Corbett leads. Block
ed. Corbett lands that left bag
again on Fite’s head. Fite counters
with that terrible right swing on
Corbett’s neck and he has Corbett
going back for a few moments.
Fitz landed a terrible left hand jab
on Corbett’s stomach and Corbett
goes to his knees with a frightful
look of agony on his face. The
timekeeper calls the seconds. One,
two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, ten, but Corbett comes
to his feet. He rushes to Fite artd
endeavors to strike him. There is
terrible uproar. George Siler de
cides that Fite wins.
The blow that did the business
landed over Corbett’s heart and he
collapsed. The last round lasted
just one minute and forty-five sec-
onds. • *
Fitzsimmons has paid off an old
score. He refused to shake hands
with Corbett before time was called
and fought him like a demon.
Some UingTley Tariff Features.
Advanced information from in
side circles state that the Ditigley
tariff bill will not differ widely
from the repealed McKinley bill
except perhaps in the classification
of the wool schedule, the advalo-
rem duties remaining. One eighth
of a cent will be taken off the sugar
rates making it a reduction of
about forty cents per barrel under
the rates in the McKinley bill. The
bill will be introduced to-day
and it is thought that it will be
amended to put in some adminis
tration features. These will be
presented as committee amend
ments after the bill gets before the
house. A few of the minor sched
ules have not been perfected such
as earthenware, but they will be
tacked on a little later.
The reciprocity principle which
is embodied in the bill will be that
of lower duties on certain classes
of goods in return for concessions
to certain lines of American goods.
The principal lines of goods on
which duties may be lowered by
reciprocity treaties will be sug ar
champagnes, silks, gloves, mineral
waters,chickle (much of which is
imported for chewing gum) and
crude tartar, which is one of the
chief ingredients used in baking
powders.
The president will be empowered
by the bill to enter into treaties by
which the duties will be materially
lowered on importation of these
goods from countries which make
concessions to American cattle and
other goods.
Most of the goods in the list given
above which are imported into the
United States come from France
The j and Germany, and it is the expec
tation of the committee that reci
procity on champagne, silks and
gloves will prove an inducement to
these countries to abandon their
policy of discrimination against
American beef and pork. It is
hoped so.
oats. When those are cut it is avail
able for corn and field peas, which
in turn make way for turnips or
some other winter growing crop, so
that from the same laud six har
vests may be gathered within twen
ty-four months. What other section
can make a like showing?
An idea may be gained of the
wide range Georgia’s farm pro
ducts from these figures, which
give the quantity of the various
staples named, raised in the state
for the year 1893: Wheat, 1,733,000
bushels; corn, 33,687,000, bushels:
oats, 7,847,987 bushels; rye, 131,164
bushels; Irish potatoes, 483,886
bushels; hay, 224,117 tons; peanuts
624,528 bushels; cotton, 1,191,846
bales; wool, 831,141 pounds, butter,
148,483,323 pounds; honey, 1,056,-
034 pounds; beeswax, 4S,935 pounds
eggs, 11,522 dozen; rice, 14,566,s32
pounds; tobacco, 263,752 pounds.
To these must be added other fig
ures from the census reports, which
show that in 1889 Georgia made 1,-
307,624 pounds of sugar, 4,665,997
gallons of molasses, and 5,616,317
bushels of sweet potatoes. No fig
ures are at had showing the amount
of garden stuff shipped from the
state, but it is very considerable
and comprises nearly every varie
ty of vegetable know to the seeds
men. In other things, it must be
borne in mind, too, that Georgia
has a practical monopoly of the
watermelon trade ; that she easily
leads the country in quantity and
quality of her peaches and plums;
that in small fruits she produces
and sells everything save currants,
gooseberries and cranberries, while
it is by no means sure that she can
not grow these ; that her pear or
chards are a source of very consid
erable profit ; that her vinyards
produce amazing quantities of the
very finest quality of grapes; that
the pecan is already counted in
her lists of commercial crops,
and that the English walnut, the
almond, the filbert and the fig
flourish here, and groves of these
trees have already been planted in
the state, and that she is begining to
ship hogs and beef and cattle to the
greater markets. Hardly a season
passes without the addition of
another paying crop to Georgia’s
already long list.
And the lauds which give these
results can be bought for less than
the value of the timber which is on
it in many instances.
must Look to Hnaclti
The suggestion says the Valdosta
Times, has been made in some of
the wiregr9ss papers to the effect
that this section of the state should
press its claims with more em
phasis for a more equal distribution
of the offices of the state, does not
meet with much favor in the upper
section of Georgia. Papers in that
region has already treated the sub
ject with comtemptand the sug
gestions has been met with a snarl
froni several sources.
As we have pointed out before,
the wiregrass region of Georgia
will never get what is due it until
the people and newspapers of this
section stop counting it a privilege
to swing on as a tail to the kite of
the north Georgia politicians. The
she has sent too many men to rep
resent her at the state conventions
in the legislature and in other
places, who were more anxious
about their own promotion than
they were in seeing their section
their section given what was justly
due it by reason of its prominence
in all things that make up a great
common weajtb.
In this part of Georgia known as
the wiregrass regions one half the
taxes of the state are paid. This
section furnishes hall of the votes
and more than its share of demo
cratic majorities. In the wiregrass
regions are raised those products
that Give Georgia her name as one
of the greatest agricultural states
in the union. This section shows
greater increases in wealth than
any other section of the state, and
her public men have shown as
much ability, patriotism and con
servatism as any of those in the up
per belt. She is not outclassed in
anything, save in political greed,
by the section above har.
She has made little complaint in
the past, but the time has come
when she should make a vigorous
kick for her share of the offices, as
well as institutions controlled by
the state. She has rolled up her
democratic majorities to elect pub
lic officers when she has had no
representation among them.. She
has seen the taxes which come
from the pockets of her citizens
parcelled out to instituiion3 of learn
ing, charitable institutions, experi
mental stations and military en
campments, from which she re
ceived the slighest of benefits. And
now when it is suggested that some
offices and other advantages of the
state be divided, so that she may
share in those things which she
helps to create, the suggestion is
met with derision and contempt!
The newspapers and citizens of
the southern section should stand
together in working for the interest
of their section, and they should
not be satisfied with less than her
importance in all things entitles
her to.

The Atlanta Journal says: “The
rapid increase in the number of
divorces in the South and the
facility with which they are ob
tained here, are the cause of appre
hension at home and unfavorable
comment abroad. It is in the
memory of persons not much past
middle age, when a suit for divorce
in Georgia was a rare thing; now
they come in swarms, scandalizing
society, occupying much of thetime
of the courts and creating the im
pression that there has been a dis
tinct decline in the social purity of
our people. Time was when those
who sought divorce on trivial
grounds considered it necessary to
take up temporary residence in
some of the new and ill-regulated
states of the far west, but that time
seems to have passed.”
An Illinois legislator has intro
duced a bill to provide for the pay
ment of wages to convicts iu State
prisons the wages so earned to be
paid over .o the families of the
convicts. The idea is to prevent
suffering by innocent people for
the crimes of the convicts.
When Bishop Turner advises a
shot gun policy against mobs he
subjects his own people to all of the
dangers that would come to them
from a general clash with the
whites. He invites by his defiance
the summary treatment which he
pretends to want to avoid. Instead
of teaching his people to live upon
a higher plane and to stop the
crimes that lead to lynchings, he
overlooks these things and tells
them to use the shot gun to defend
themselves. If Bishop Turner is a
wise negro, zealous of the welfare
of his people, he will live to regret
the speech he made the other night.
However, isn’t Turner’s advice the
logical result of Atkinson’s last
gubernatorial campaign? It seems
so to be, to us,
