The Cohan crisis, and flic annex atimi of the Sandwich island s . are tlie all absorbing themes now occupy ing the attention of (In-administra tion (dose friends of the President declare that lie has determined upon a vigorous policy in dealing with the (Julian revolution, and Ids anxiety to annex Hawaii is known of all men. In the emergency of a war with a foreign power, the United Ftates, according lo the records of the ollicc of the Secretary of, war, could with in sixty days place ten million, fighting men in the field, of which miniltcr flic State of Georgia could supply 2(14,5(10. On the oilier hand the supply of lixed am in uni tion and modern firearms is reported to he very meager, and it is estimated that with the factories running night day it would require several years to make anything like an ad< ipiate supply for an army of 2,Odd <KM> men tien. .Miles says that our •’oasts and harliois are practicalli Icfeneoless It, is fnrt her estimated hat Hie annexation of Hawaii would equire an expenditure of three-hun Ired-inillions of dollars on fortHiea ions and war ships.

The Passing Of The Pines. The pine forests of South Georgia will soon be a thing of the past, I’lie ravages of the lumbermen and turpentine monlmve left but vestige of the magnificent pines tnat abound ed so profusely in this section, a few t ears ago. To such an extent has the devastation gone, that the saw mills and turpentine farms are being abandoned on every hand. There is however consolation and encour agement in the fact that where the oi;iut pines once stood larms arc springing up. Within the past three years the tide of emigration from the North and West lias been steadi Iy flowing in this direction, and there is good reason for the prophecy that within the next decade, the waste places of South Georgia, will teem with i happy and prosperous popu lation of energetic and industrious i anners The Savannah News voices the sentiment of the people, in reference to the prompt monthly payment of the teachers of the State. State School Commissioner G lent) * ought to have a li hern I support in his efforts to secure the prompt, monthlv payment of teachers. There is no good reason why the teachers should be made to wait three months for their pay when the state has the money in bank with which to pay them. The state receives 2 percent, interest on ils deposits, hut the teachers often are forced t pay Jb per cent, or more lor I e use .4 money which they are 1 r- fliged to borrow while they are waiting on the state for payment for services rend ered. The. teachers of the public schools are the hardest worked and poorest paid of all the state's public servants, and any movement which looks to their more prompt payment is to he common; \! and assisted ;|s a matter of rig 4 J ll jllS AT rj .ul not as a c-cmeession The Greatest Discovery Yet, Mr. IV.
