GEORGIA A TOBACCO STATE
Tobacco raising in Georgia is increasing each year
and rapidly growing to be one of its most important
•• industries. Up to a few years ago Virginia and Ken-
j tucky were the only southern states where tobacco
was grown to any degree of importance, but now the
southern part of North Carolina and Soutli Carolina
> ere large tobacco producing areas and the industry
has spread to this state. Especially in South Georgia
, has this industry proved successful and become one
t of jts chief products and crops. In North Georgia to-
• bacco Is being planted and grown successfully and it
is believed that the coming year will find a large
, acreage in the chewing and smoking weed product.
An exchange from Fayetteville, N. C„ has this to
j say of the tobacco raising indus'ry:
^ . Tobacco growing is attracting much attention
Bfj* jn Georgia and the newspapers down there are
printing glowing accounts of the'big proportions
the business is assuming. By the way, it seems
i that tobacco culture is tending southward, in
stead of northward. Only a few years ago the
great tobacco states were Virginia and Ken
tucky, while next to none was grown in North
[ Carolina, except in the northern counties of the
I* - state. Now, however, there id as much tobacco
L,f grown in lower Carolina'and in South Carolina
' - • as in Virginia ahd Kentucky, while the Southern
leaf is said to be of really better quality. .
J When we consider the matter, though, there
BE U no cause for surprise at the spread of tobacco
! culture in the Southern states. The finest cigars
are made from Havana tobacco, grov
it .very hot country, and there never

may become a great tobacco state, while. King
Cotton may be dethroned on account of the de
structive boll weevil.
While if has boon proved) that cotton c&n be suc
cessfully grown under boll weevil conditions there
is an reason why the farmer should not take on the
tobacco crop as well. The profit from an acre of
tobacco will be larger than the profit from an acre
J-'’of cotton even on a basis of a bale to the acre, which
•Is unusual since the advent of the boll weevil.
However, it is Safe to have two read-money crops,
tobacco and cotton besides foodstuff, poultry, cattle
nnd hogs. 4,**!$- *
MISTAKES WILL BE MADE
That mistakes will be made in all lines of business
and professions is certain so long as mankind remains
human. An editor in a western city became peeved
because some one sent him a copy of his paper con
taining typographical errors. The annomyous con
tributor, to the annoyance of this editor, kept up the
nagging and every few days the editor would re
ceive a copy of his paper with some error marked.
; It finally grew too much for him to hold his temper
and control his nerves and he gave notice to the an-
noymous contributor that mistakes were made by
'• men in all walks of life and the minor mistakes oc
curring in tho typographical makeup of the paper
■ were not damaging to anyone and that such errors
were bound to creep in regardless of the care and
pins exercised in the production ot a newspaper
1 The “Fourth Estate," a newspaper publication,
took up the matter fn defense of the editor and had
the following to say:
? 1 . Wo would be pleased to find a merchant who
* 1 never made a mistake in putting up an order; a
lawyer who never lost a cast through his error;
f ■ a doctor who never wrongly diagnosed a case;
a postoffice official who never put mail in the
• wrong box; a woman who never forgot to put
in salt while cooking, or to put tea in the pot.
V- some of y°ur mistakeless paragons who
,V SSi". 80 f ary ,L° oriticise the newspapers and
’{f!j? tho chance of their lives to find
°. u t whether they are really human.
■PF The “Fourth Estate" is correct. We ail make
mistakes, but in the newspaper business there Is more
r r o . m l? r l , t . t e lr r c Sailor mistakes to creep in than in
r hne of business; If the public realized
- ’ I opportunities for mistakes to occur In the
'Tlprchant who has the stock and advertises
will be the one to profit this fall. e *
The finding cf thThidden gold supposed to be
that of Grover Cleveland Bcrgdoll has turned out to
be 4 joke. We are wondering if the many ladies who
sought the hand.m marriage of the finder are still
willing to accept him for “better or for worse.”

said, however, that while jazz was
not music, yet lie did not mind do
ing that much for the Rotes. It J3
certain though that he Is no dif
ferent from other real musicians.
To play jazz is about as harrass-
ing to the musician’s ears as rid
ing I pan 1 automobile with a flat
tire.’ A, few days ago I ran across
in an exchange w^at Is said to be
the origin of jazz. For thtf benefit
of the lovers of jazz music hero
It is: '
A gink with nimble, spindly legs
and candy-colorcd locks.
Who found the world was handing
him its very choicest knocks.
Decided he would organize an
orchestra or two
And jiee what coin-collecting
stunts the noisy things could
do.
So he took some empty kettles and
wired 'em together
And hooked ’em to a swinging line
he made of heavy leather.
He strung a lot of old tin cans to
wires, ropes and strings
And tied ’em to a windlass for to
swing the blooming things.
He put some broken bottles in two
old potato sacks.
And filled a box with railroad
spjkes ho stolo from the
tracks;
Bought ,somo cymbals for. a dollar
and rented him a drum,
And ns he stopped to blow ho said:
••I think I’m going some!**
He rigged up a contrivance regu
lated by a w*heol
-)} latea oy a wneoi
That made a noise whoh turning
like s fat pig’s dying squeal.
It shook the broken bottle* and
rktttod all the ic'inp .-f *
And spilled a peck of brickbats
into half a dozen * pans.
'jfhc broken bottles Wangled, and
the cymbals Jangled to6,
And there wasn't an$ solo work
T the bais drum couldn’t do.
ffco spindly-legged leader turned
. the handle of the thing,
And the racket ‘he crented made
the welkin fairly ring.
He yelled like a iCommandhe as he
gave the town the razz.
But before the mob could lynch
him he had named the racket
“jazz.”
