THE VAW FEEDS »EH .
We have built bo many new bat
tleships. cruiser* and other vesBels
for our navy that the need of a large
ly increased force ot officers and
men have been imperative.
This need has been all the more
urgent by the large number of de
sertions during the past year.
Admiral Crowninshield, in Ins re
cent report, shows that in the
last twelve months there have been
9,890 enlistments in the navy and no
less thau 3,158 desertions.
The census sets at rest any linger
ing fear thaU may have been felt
that the colored population ot the
country might be increasing more
rapidly than the white population.
As a matter of fact, the statistics
show that there has been a decrease
of three'leiiths of one per cent, in
the proportion of colored element of
population as compared with the
census of 1890, and a corresponding
increase in the proportion of white
element. The colored population,
however, showed an increase of 17.8
per cent, in the ten years, while the
increase of the white was 21 4 per
cent. Thus two important facts are
set forth, namely, that the negroes
are not dying out, and that the
whiles are increasing more rapidly
than the blacks.
Mr. J. CJ. Minis, of Brinson, an
experienced truck farmer, was in
town yesterday with a load of vege
tables which he easily disposed of Ht
a good price. Mr. Mims informs us
that off one acre of land this season
be has cleared $35 in tomatoes
After the tomatoes were marketed
he planted the same ground in snap
beans, which crop was grown and
marketed in eight weeks and has to
date netted him $38 additional.
This make a net profit for Mr- Mims
of $73 on one acre and shows what
our farmers can do by turning their
attention to other matters than the
production of cotton.
It is not generally believed that
the President’s Southern blood led
to his recent entu rtaiuiuent of Book
er Washington as a special guest of
himself, wife and daughters. Be
yond all don lit Ins attempted lesson
of racial equality, if such it be, will
be spent to no avail so far as our
people are concerned. Mr. Koose-
vell opened his administration with
the Hueming good will ot the South'
ern people and it is unfortunate that
he should have unnecessarily enter
ed upon a course objectionable
to them.
The Southern press has been pour
ing “broadsides” into the President,
and that too with a greater or
less amount of justification. “Lay
on Macduff” and the balance of it,
say we.
The cotton market for the present
season has presented almost an un
paralleled continuous fluctuation.
First up, then down, thu farmer has
been kept guessing at what he should
do.
Our subscription list continues to
grow, and so does the business of
the mercha't who advertises his
wares through the columns of the
Search Light.
The Quitman Free Press contin
ues easily one of the best weekly pa
pers in the State.

Oolnmlras Ledger Discusses Important
ouestKa.
The Southern Railway Company
recently ran a “Good Roads Special”
over its line stopping at the leading
towns along its route for the pur
pose ol encouraging the construction
of better road wavs. Among the
places visited was Columbus, Ga.
and the Ledger of that place says in
reference to the same.
The possibilities of good that may
result from the visit of “The Good
Roads Special” are incalculable.
They depend largely, of course, on
the co-operation of the lriends of
good roads in tlie localities visited
and the surrounding country.
In almost every part of Georgia
there is an abundance of excellent
material for road building and with
the application of proper methods
this material could be worked so as
effect a revolution in the roads of
Georgia at a cost very small in com'
parison of the benefits that would
accrue.
Every time a good road is substi
tuted for a bad one the wealth of the
country in which the change is made
is increased. The value of all prop
erty on or near the line of improved
roads is increased immediately.
The building of good roads is the
best investment tlie people of Geor
gia can make, and they will soon
have presented to them some very
valuable object lessons on this sub
ject.
Muscogee county is tar ahead of
many counties in the state as regards
good roads, the county commission'
ers taking an especial interest and
pride in keeping up the roads and
making permanent improvements.
Some excellent work has been done
in ibis line, the countv chain gang
furnishing the labor and being pio-
vided with portable camps can be
easily transported to any part of the
county.
While much is yet to be accom
plished. the county can boast of some
ns good road work as any county in
the state and although the best meth
ods have been adopted, still there
may be something yet to learn and
in this respect the “Good Roads
Special” and the work it does may
ho of some service in learning the
road makers of the county som# new
ideas iu regard to the matter. If
such things are to be given free,
Columbus is as much entitled to cb
tain them as any other place.
Pastor Richards To Albany.
Rev, W. L. Richards, who has been
in change of the Baptist church in
this for some months has accepted a
call to the pastorate of the First
Baptist church of Albany Ga.
For some time Mr. Richrrds has
had the matter under advisement
and his friends had hoped that lie
would not accept. However he has
announced his intention of moving
to Albany.
Since coming to Bainbridge Mr
Richards has engratiated himself
with the people of all den raiuations
and his removal to another city will
be perhaps as much regretted by the
members of other churches as of his
own. lie is a fluent and logical
speaker and commands the admira
tion and repect of those with whom
he meets.
While regretting to giv<* him up,
yet it is pleasure to us to ’-600101001111
him to the people of Albany as one
worthy of their confidence and who
is a progressive and aggressive leader
111 the community in which he resides.
Mr. Richards and his esteemable
sister Miss Richards will move to
A1 any at a ijearlv date in order that
he may tuko active charge of the
church to which he has been choser.
