HONORS FOR UR. LANE.
The Atlanta Constitution pays this
deserved compliment to Hon. W. T.
Lane,one of Sumters popular represen
tatives in the general assembly. The
ConstWt.ob says:
E °rV«^ativo W. T. Lane, of Sum
ter, woo had* been assigned bv Speaker
Little to the chairmanship of the com
mittee on conntv and connty matters,
is, while one of the youngeBt members
of the house, also one of the ablest.
Mo chairmanship imposes more ardu
ous duties or greator responsibility
than that to which Mr. Lane has been
appointed. Practically all the local
measures introduced in the house aro
referred to the committee on county
matters, and to preserve and maintain
the rights of the connties in their peti
lions to the general assembly is in it
self a matter of great importance.
Representative Lane is serving his
second term in the house. Before re
moving to Amencus, his present home,
he resided at Monticello and was may
or of that town. The jnnior member
Irom Sumter is engaged in the practice
of law with Judge It. L. Maynard,
former jndgfe of tho eonntv conrt of
Snmter and one of the leading lawyers
of the county. The partnership was only
consummated daring tho past week.
GROWTH OF SOUTH GEORGIA
Tho census returns aro very gratify
ing to South Georgians. In the last
ten years tbeir section of the state has j
Georgia will uot be worth picking up
iu the road if the state does not Imild a
tenant house on it.
Because Senator Steed says so does
not make it so. Other men, not sena
tors, know a thing or two, and all the
wisdom, virtue and temperance in the
state it not congregated in the state
capiti 1, or there would be no blowing
out the gai by country jays who know
nothing of city ways; no tights
drunken ergies.
Every inch of that dirt lying between
Lloyd and Pryor streets, located in the
heart of the city, will always be worth
a pile of money to the people of Geor
gia, we do not care what any senator
or any other member of the legislature
may tbink abont it. Simply because
the railroads centering in Atlanta have
been ordered to build depots, there is
no need of any one getting excited. It
would be better for Atlanta to scatter
the railroad stations. It wonld remove
the present congestion. Mew Orleans
is a much larger city than Atlanta, and
that city has no central depot. Mew
York is only a little larger than some
people think Atlanta is, and there are
many depots besides the Grand Central
station. Memphis is quite a large city
and she does not receive all of her pas
senger travel at one nnion depot. The
same can be said of scores of other
cities as large as Atlanta.
We do not believe that the money
now in the treasury can be used for the
purpose, and the people will not be
taxed to bnild it. Outside of the at
mosphere breathed by the astnte sena
tor from Taylor it looks like a big, fat
job for somebody.—Oordele Call.

“Hannaism and McKinleyism, the
real prodnet of trustism,”says the St.
Lonis Republic, “are alienating from
the Republican party a host of Amen-
cans who fear the evils sure to come
from the trusts' complete control of
the Amercan government.” As long
as their alienation does not affect their
votes anv more than it did in the last
election, what doeB it matter?
Nashville, Nov. 21.—Telegraph and
telephone communication in the path
last night's storm is still interrupted
and although every effort is being made
to reach tho scene of devastation from
varioas points, no definite information
has been received as to the loss of life ot
the extent of the damage. The storm
believed to have reached tho height of
its severity in the middle and western
parts of Tennessee and northern Missis

have reached this city.

IN THE PATH OF THE STORM
It is said that President McKinley
grown much faster than the northern Ioppose any redaction in the repre
section. Ard there is reason for this.
Nearly all of the South Georgia conn-
ties aro admirably adapted to agricul
ture. The climate is excellent and the
land is fertile. Indeed, it is donbtful
if anywhere else in the world are there
more attractions fur farmers.
In every one of these counties grain
and cotton yield abundantly when pro
perly cultivated, aud in some of them
tobacco and sugar cauo are grown not
only very successfully but very profit
ably. Both soil and climate are admir
ably adapted to fruits, such as peaches,
pears and grapes. It is doubtful if in
all the land there is a more favored
spot than Sonth Georgia. It is capable
of sustaining ten times the population
it now has.
Unless those who know this section
ot the stuto thoroughly are greatly mis
taken it will not be many years before
land in all of its counties will com
mand double the price that is asked fer
it now. It is getting an excellent class
of immigrants,and tho uumlier of them
ia steadily increasing. It is gratifying
to know lhat the whole sta'e is pros
pering, bat it is especially so to know
that South Georgia is making such
rapid progrss.— Savannah News.
American farmers ought to be the
most prosperous people in the world,
for they feed and clothe more people
than any two nations of the earth.
They produced the stuff and the people
of the earth must have our surplus aud
mast pay good ronud prices for it. In
this country one man can grow food
for one hundred. No other people, in
any age, can or could do as much.
Then, if the American farmer has the
world at his mercy, by virtue of his
superior intelligence and industry,
why Bhould he not be rich ? Well, we
suppose it is because he has no power
to regulate the price of his products;
that being done by produce gamblers
after tho farmer has alienated them.
Philosopicall.v the Savannah News
concludes life is still worth tho living,
even if the election did go topsv tnrvey
to its wishes. 'With golf, football, tur
key and cranberry sanca aud chrysan
themums one can yet afford to be hap
py on the way.

which has been moving in an easterl'
direction from eastern Texas and whicl
Is this morning central over the great

Tho general storm, which is reported
to have gathered some energy, is. how
ever, of little severity aud will probably

24 hours was 6.002 inches, and abnor
mally large precipitation. Memphis re
ports 2.048 Inches. Tho telegraph com
