Representative James Taylor left
I yesterday of Athens, where today the
' University committee of the House
l will assemble for the annual inspec
tion of the State University. The en
j tire day will thus be spent in Athens,
and at that point the committee will
: divide, one half going to the State
Military school at Dahlonega, while
the other half, including Representa
tive Taylor will go to Milledgeville

A COLONY OF JAPS
COMING TO GEORGIA
Will Work on Rich Farms Near
Brunswick.
BRUNSWICK, GA., Sept. 23-.—Ar
| rangements have been perfected for
| a Japanese colony which is expected
i to arrive in this city early in October
! from New York. There wil be twen-
I ty to twenty-five men in the party,
j and they will be put to work imrne
j diately after arrival one one of the
| rice plantations on the Altamaha.
The first year will be a test for the
principals behind the movement, and
if successful others will come in the
summer of 1908.
It is believed that the Japs will
make a success of rice culture in
this section since the system fol
lowed is more like that of their na
tive country than the system in vogue
in Texas and Louisiana, where all
! the fields are irrigated.
Once it is demonstrated to the man
agers of the movement that the work
ers can do well here an abundant
supply of labor will be provided for
; the rice fields of the Georgia coast.

The Jacksonville Times-Union
wants to to know what personal bene
fit the ordinary citizen has got out
of all the “muck-raking” governmen
tal and otherwise, during the past
year or two. The average citizen
will probably do a heap of thinking
before he can answer the question,
if he ever does answer it. The trusts
still do business at higher prices, and
presumably, larger profits.
Ties of party are not strong enough
to hold men when they become con
vinced that the party policy is detri
mental to the welfare of the coun
try. It is dawning upon more and
more minds that the tariff is the
nursing mother of the great spolitary
Trusts, says the Philadelphia Record,
and that these, in their security from
competition, have gathered the chief
fruits of a period of industrial and
commercial prosperity.
Up in Pennsylvania the State Board
of Health has required the Pullman
company to equip its cars with sheets
that will turn down two feet over
the blankets and keep patrons from
coming in contact with germs which
may have made themselves at home
in the woool. Max Banner should
see that a similar provision is in
serted in the clean sheet bill.

A fruit bulletin issued by the Cen
tral of Georgia Railway shows that
number of cars of peaches shipped
during the season just closed, accord
ing to the bulletin a total of 1532
cars left Georgia for the eastern mar
kets. This is regarded as a splendid
showing in view of the cold weather
which damaged the fruit crop to a
great extent.
Tom Watson is said to have serv
ed nbtice on the governor that he
must carry out all the projected re
forms before he begins his race for
U. S. Senator. Hoke may chafe under
the collar but in the end he will
doubtless do what the “boss”over at
Thomson tells him to.
A special to the Savannah Morn
ing News says that Tom Watson has
intimated to a number that he consi
ders himself responsible for Hoke
Smith’s election as governor. The
governor seems to realize this obliga
tion he is under, too.
