HONESTY IN LEGISLATION.
•‘There isn’t any such thing ns honest
legislation in this country,” complain
ed the pessimist.
\ ‘“Oh, I don't know,” replied the leg
islator; “I was promised $o00 to help
pass a certain bill, and I did it, and
got all that was promised me.”
GOVERNOR S MESSAGE.
Governor Terrell’s message was a
strong, able, common sense document
and will be read with much interest.
The recommendation that the limit
of the tax rate be placed at 5 mills
will prove to be a popular one. There
is a disposition in some quarters to tix
the limit at a lower rate, but it would
be a mistake to do so, for the reason
that the occasion might arise when a
lower rate would not enable the state
to accomplish some object absolutely
necessary to promote its welfare. Re-
of Do Kalb, which proposed an amend
ment to the constitution to authorize
the legislature to exempt church,
school and college property from taxa
tion,a wise measure and one that in all
reason ami justice should have
passed. Certainly our church, school
and college property should not be
taxed.
Representative Hixon, of Sumter,
voted for the proposed amendment
while Representative Lane voted
ogainst it.
Commenting upon the action of the
House the Atlanta Constitution says:
It is sincerely regrettable that the
house of representatives defeated the
Candler bill to amend the state const i*
tiou so as, in future, to exempt church
and educational properties from taxa
tion.
We believe a large majority [of the
intelligent and Christian people of
Georgia favor giving every possible as
sistance to our educational and church
institutions and the request to allow
the people to vote on the question was
certainly a reasonable one, that the
general assembly could liberally Lave
allowed.
Our southern institutional and pri
vate colleges work at tremendous dis
advantage against the colleges of the
north, with their lavish state^anl and
fabulous endowments. This’stute, we
believe, might readily have foregone
the amount of taxes paid by ^the col
leges and churches and so aided mate
rially their struggles for permanency
and success.
While this question was not a perti
nent issue in the gubernatorial prima
ry# yet it is a fact, we believe, that the
matter was often referred to and seem
ed to have the general approval of the
people. It is a pity that it was not
remitted to them for final decision, and
it is to be hoped that the house will
reconsider its action and leave the
matter to the people.
THE SOUTH S HOPE.

potato crops here are abundant, and
with pcsMim at baud there’s “sop and

but western meat is high, and we
(/light not to have to buy that, anyway.
CLOPTON BROUGHT IN PRODIGY.
Monster Cornstalk Is Raised on His
Farm.
Mr. John P. Cloptou brought the
Times Recorder yesterday the largest
corustulk, perhap*, that ever grew in
Sumter. It was of the “Mexican June”
variety, and not only produces big
crops but grows to enormous size.
This stalk looked like a young sapling,
and could easily have been split into
fence rails and bridge timber.
HIS DISPLAY WAS ATTRACTIVE.
Ed Speer Sold Seven Carloads of
Machinery.
Mr. E. 0. Spser is at home from the
State Fair at Valdosta. He is now
traveling for the Dabney Implement
Co. of Atlanta, whose display at the
Fair was one of the most attractive in
machinery hall. Mr, Speer and his
assistant sold seven car loads of ma
chinery for their house during Fair
week.

20c to 35c Taffeta Ribbons at 15c Yard.
We have secured two hundred
pieces, 2,000 yards, of fine all Silk
Ribbon that sells regularly at 25c to

New York’s greatest ribbon houses—

sides, ns long as the pension burden is
ns great ns it is at present the 5-mill
rate will not be any too great to meet
the state’s needs.
The governor, of eolirse, favors ex-
empting the property of the churches,
schools, colleges and orphans homes
from taxation. There is a measure for
th"/ purpose now pending in the Leg
islature, and it seems to lie a popular
one. The leading fenture of the
message isthe recommendation that
an agricultural college bo established
in each congressional district.
THE LAND QUESTION.
It is time for the landless to begin
to study the lnnd question. It can be
done hotter now thnu at auy later i>eri-
od. Laud everywhere is becoming
dearer. Many think it is dear already.
Many thought it was dear ten years
ago, and on that account refused to
buy a home, preferring to wait until
land became cheaper. Now they see
their error, for it tukes from three to
ten times as much money to buy an
acre ns it did a few years ngo. As an in
vestment for actnnl use land is ns
cheap now as it over was. As much
profit ean now be made from laud cost
ing thirty dollars per acre, ns could
have been made from lnnd when it was
without a purchaser at live dollars per.
Times have changed, customs have
changed uml methods have changed,
and improved implements enable a
man to cultivate twico or three times as
much land ns he could a few years ngo,
and prices for farm products are higher.
Thirty years ago a farmer was consid
ered a prodigy of success if he cleared
more than live per cent per annum ou
his investment. Now many farmers
clear twenty to thirty per cent; and
some make much more than this, ltc-
snlts of good farming considered, laud
is cheaper now- than it was, even if it
costs rive times as much per acre. Peo
ple are beginning lo realize these facts
and as a result there is an over in
creasing demand for land for farming,

The South, to assume that position
of importance in the nation to which
its marvelous resources entitle it, must
turn its attention more and more to the
manufacture of its raw material. In
the matter of cotton mills, the South is
doing very well. It is also making
progress in steel production, and in
the utilization of some other classes
of raw material. But there is still room
for expansion. The utilization of the
raw material of trie South has contri
buted much to tho enrichment of the
North and East. The making of our
cotton into cloth has done much to
give Massachusetts and Connecticut
wealth. Our iron ore, our timber, our
wheat and corn have been sent North
and East nnd returned to 11s nt a vast
