IT HAS COME TO PASS
: Henry W. Grady, in his palmy days dreamed of
an independent agricultural class in this country. In
an editorial early in 1888, he said:
"When every farmer shall eat bread from his own
fields and meat from his own pastures, and distribut
ed by no creditor and enslaved by no debt, shall sit
amid his teeming gardens and orchards, and ,vine-
yards and dairies and barnyards, pitching his crops
: to his own wisdom and growing them in indepen
dence, making cotton his clean surplus and selling it
in his own time and in his chosen market, and not at
the Master’s bidding—getting his pay in cash and not
in a receipted mortgage that discharges his debt, but
does not restore his freedom—then shall be breaking
the fullness of our day.”
If Mr. Grady was living today his fondest dreams
would be realized and all that he prayed for, worked
for, and wrote for in the hope of developing the ag
ricultural interests.of the south would be realized.
Diversification, of crops has brought to this country
the condition which was utmost in the mind of this
great man and the greatest desire he had in life. He
wanted to see the Resources of our agricultural in
terests developed and -our farmers benefitted from
the fruits of their labors. He foresaw the great op
portunities passessed by our section of the country
going to waste for the lack of improvement and de
velopment. It rested heavily upon him and through
"Nis tongue and pen he proclaimed to the. world the
advantages here awaiting the time for our people to
awaken to their opportunities and become inde
pendent and self-sustaining. That day has arrived
ond wo are now living in an era of prosperity which
was predicted by Mr. Grady thirty five years ago.
FOREIGNERS FOR FARMS IN SOUTH
The New York Times, one of the ablest edited and
best newspapers from a news standpoint in the coun
try, suggests that the people of the south make an ef-
' flirt to secure the better type of immigrants K> this
country to settle on farms in order to make up for
Mra icss of the thousands of negroes who have been
migrating north for the past two years. The sugges-
tinii, of course, is offered in the most friendly and
kindliness manner and with the sole purpose of help
ing to rebuild and rehabitate the millions of acres of
devastated farm lands in this section of the country.
However, it is a serious question as to whether it
would be for the best interest of this section or not
the average type of immigrants make undesirable
d’izetis and their customs and. habits would not har
monize with those of our people who are native-boni
and represent the best in the nation. As Major Gen
eral Wcod stated in a public'address in Boston during
the war that "the purest blood of the Anglo-Saxon
race was possessed iJy those people born and reared
south of the Mason and Dixon line.” There is much
-truth in the statement and the condition it brought
about more from the fact that a very small percent
age of immigrants ever settle in the south. Our peo
ple have been kept free from outside nationalists in
a great measure which ac counts for the pure Ameri
can blood of the southern people.
Western farmers would be a blessing to this sec
tion of the country. They are thrifty and economical
in their habits of living and kpow how to accumulate
and improve lands. If a movement could be inaugu
rated which would encourage and secure colonies of
these people, the south would profit from their com
ing and living with us. Rather than encourage the
settlement of immigrants, let us look forward to some
movement which will interest the western farmer in
our lands and climate and offer to them inducements
fb lorate with us and become citlzena of our state and
(oui)try.

COWS WITH TUBERCULOSES
K ( .-JPH
there may be some criticism of tho rules
aTOregulations of the board of health controlling the
inspection of cows and milk before it is allowed to bo
placed on the market, yet ail must agree that the
requirements aa laid down by the officials is purely
fnr 'he protection of the consumer. Tuberculosis has
’nftvn to be quite a common disease among cows and
there are hundreds of tubercular cases traceable di
rectly to the use of milk from cows so affected. .
The Vafdosta Times in commenting on a news
item which appeared in this paper giving an account
of forty-one cows found to have tuberculosis in this
section tells of a case which occurred in that county.
It say.':
n The case referred to was that of W. D. Odum,
".In n od the milk of a tubercular-cow because -
he r'icl net believe that people could contract the
disease in this manner. The result was the death
of his wife, the permanent disability of his son
and a long seige in the hospital for his two
daughters. He was convinced then that thero
was danger.
5 Th ere arc many more incidents of this character,
no doubt, occurring in Georgia almost . daily and
unless there is something done by the officials to
check the malady there is no telling to what extent
the spread of tuberculosis may reach. j
Athens and Clarke county are indeed fortunate in
having a board of health composed of men who are
ever alert to every interest for the protection of the
