AMERICUS, GA., MARCH. 1,1801
The question of who settled Kansas
Is a matter of doubt, but there iB none
p.s to who unsettled it.
The office-seeker has no hesitancy
in becoming a ghoul. Seven applica
tions for Consul Wildmau’s place were
filed before it was certain that he was
dead.
It is becoming evident that thero can
be no Tery rich men in the race for
Senator in the dead-locked Statos, or
the difficulty would have been settled
long ago.
Li Hung Chang says he is unable to
figure it out. He ought to send for
some of the men who are making es
timates of Mr Carnegie’s income from
day to day.
Cotton is not only king among the
Southern export crops, but the cotton
seed is a commodity of great and
growing importance. Cotton-seed was
once a wasce product that around every
gin became a nuisance. There was no
known use to which the huge ferment
ing piles conld be put. A crop of 12,-
000,000 bales will furnish 0,000,000 tons
of seed, one forth of which will be
required, by present wasteful methods
for planting, which leaves 4,500,000
tons for manufacturers uses. The
product of a ton of seed varies, the
average being 37 gallons of oil, 725
pounds of oil meal or cake, 820 pounds
of bulls and 180 pounds of linters.
These products, at present prices, are
worth about 824 for the products of a
ton of seeds. But there is no neces
sity for using 1,500,uOO tons for plant
ing. This would give 125 pounds per
acre to 25,000,000 acres. Of carefully
selected seed, properly prepared aud
planted, one-fourth that amount is
ample
turing purposes more than 5,000,000
tons of seed, worth when manufac
tured, at least $132,0011,000. The oil
alone would bring more than {-50,000, -
000 — tho equivalent of 20,000,000
bushels of corn, or half that amount of
wheat exported. A noted statistician
stated a few years ago that if Yankee
farmers could grow cottou iu the North
they would become rich raising it for
tho seed alone, aud of this wonderful
commodit/ the South has a practical
monopoly. All attempts to break this
monopoly have failed. It is the grand
est source of wealth ever possessed by
any agricultural country. All that is
necessary is to handle it judiciously,
produce no more of it than the world
must have, utilize the seed to the best
advantage and the treasures of earth
are at the Southern farmers’ feet

One of the curious things in Ameri
can life is the fondness of people aud
legislators for new laws Everybody
seems to think the millennium can he
hastened by legal enactment,and hence
legislators every year are busy passiug
new laws, which sometimes are a dead
letter within three mouths after the
date ot their supposed enforcement.
The people are for laws, but “a - in the
enforcement.”—'-'hicago News
The people evince no especial fond
ness for now laws, but the law-making
bodies seem to proceed on the theory
that the more laws they enact the
greater the wisdom aud usefulness of
those bodies The inexperienced legis
lator feels that he is a failure if he does
not become the parent of afew laws,
aud it is this feeling that causes the in
troduction of all sorts of bills on all
conceivable subjects. More than lo.uoO
bills have beeu introduced iu the pre
sent Congress, but very few of them
havo or will become laws, aud fewer
still ought to become laws. We have
too many laws and too few wise anil
wholesome laws. The people who are
governed most are not governed best
Unnecessary laws are bad haws. Laws
for which there is no need or demand
are seldom enforced, aud the non-en-
forcemcnt of law weakens respect for
law. The fewest laws consistent with
good government, and their strict and
impartial enforcement, should be the
controlling idea of those commissioned
to enact or to execute the laws.—Nash
