Arnrrlcus, Ga* March 17, 1910. SMALL INDUSTRIES WHAT SHOULD REACn FOR. The people who pay attention to the small things of life, and attend to them properly, are generally the ones In the end who accomplish the great things. Those who are always longing for great opportunities and neglecting the small opportunities as learning, and patriotism of the country could be thoroughly represented the upper House and some of the fin- a class accomplish nothing. They are 1 est elements of statesmanship and by Hon. Hunnls Taylor, formerly United States minister to Spain, the author of a work on the “Origin and Growth of the English Constitution' 1 that is uccepted as a standard author ity. and otherwiso peculiarly equipped to intelligently and authoritatively dis cuss the movement to abolish or re form the House of Lords. Mr. Taylor points out that England Is the mother of Parliaments and the creator of the bicameral type of legis lative assemblies, that is, the two house form of government. Up to the time of the creation of the American Congress England was the only coun try in the world with a parliament. From its example and the additional Inspiration given to popular govern ment by the United States have come the numerous parliaments of to-day, Including the latest addition, that of Japan. It would be a great error of judg ment, and fraught with much danger to genuine liberty, Mr. Taylor believes, for England to establish a single house as Its governing body. From such an example a similar trend would doubt less he developed in other countries. Instead of abolishing the House of Lords he expresses the hope that Eng land will simply amend it, along the lines that Spain adopted when Castillo, in 1876, drafted the existing constitu tion. By such a course the wisdom ASST. SUPT. IS TO LOSE HIS POSITION. In other words, our Ignorance Tax c , ticil p /-• a on the one single, solitary item of OSlcirV Will D3 IjIVflfl 10 j commercial fertilizers alone Is morel J Superintendent. than the total amount we are spend ing on public schools for Increasing the Intelligence of our children!

Communities being but aggregations of individuals, whatever applies to the Individual character applies with ful ly bb much force to the community. The spirit of the Individual. If applied to the community, brings like results. .The community that Is waiting for great things to turn up and not avail ing Itself of the 'small oportunities within its grasp is not likely to ever see the great aspirations realized. The bulk of the great Industries cf tMs country had their origin in small beginnings. The Baldwin Locomotive Works started with a few hands. To day It employs ten or twelve thousand highly skilled mechanics. The Disston 6aw Works, now with four thousand men on its pay rolls, began Its exis tence In a cellar with the founder and one boy at work. And so with the vast majority of the other leading In dustrlcs. They are all exemplifica tions of the old adage that “Great oaxa from little acorns grow.” In the South the majority of the large cot ton mills started on a small scale and expanded their plants ont of the profits of their business. Ttj? mistake we are making In Americus Is aiming at too big a start. Wo expect to begin with half million dollar plants, as It they grew on huckleberry hushes and were to be picked for the having. As a matter of fact, what we should be aiming for is a diversification ot industries, on a ■mail scale. What we should seek is not one mammoth plant, although -7 that would of course, be very wel come. but a number ot small indus- ' tries, employing a limited capital and a few hands, but with a prospect of growing into industries of importance. A hosiery mill with $25,000 to $50,000 capital, broom factory with $5,000 ' to $10,000 capital, a woodenware fac tory wilh $10,000 capital, a matress factory with a few thousand dollars iu Its service, a harness and saddlery works also giving employment to a dozen or more hands—these and oth ers suggest themselves as industries that might be established here on a modest scale and with a fair prospect character there bo brought into the service of the nation. Elaborating his views M. Taylor says: Every one knows that the Scotch and Irish peerages are represented at Westminister iu the persons of peers elected as representatives by each. It would be very easy to extend that system to the English peerage by limiting its representation in the up per house to peers chosen in tins same way. Thus the strongest elements of the three peerages, after being sever ed from_the drone3 who bring only re proach, ’ could be united In a body whoso existence would prevent any abrupt break with the past. To that body could he added tho life senators to bo appointed by the crown from those whoso genius and patriotism de mand such recognition. A decided ma jority over all Bhould then consist of senators elected for a certain term of years dineciiy by the people. In such a senate would be assembled as never before the flower of the British empire. There is no reason why tho English democracy should not bo willing to regard an upper chamber thus con stituted, whose control would remain in its hands, Just as tho American Democracy regards the Senate of the United States. Ail special students of our system clearly understand that since our popular chamber has ceased to be a forum for debate, the Senate has become our most effective organ of legislation, if it were not for Its Inlative through the amending power it would now bo almost impossible for our great affairs to be carried on. If our experience Is worth anything England it is a demonstration of the fact that a vast democracy charged with the administration of expanding and world-wide Interests can not ef fectively discharge its functions with out a senate of commanding authority. Such a senate has been a necessity to every world power that ever existed. It Is a settled conviction that the unity of the British) empire depends upon the Irresistible strength of England's two-chamber parliament, by whose authority a widely scattered and Incoherent mass of dependencies Is held together. In the gorgeous phrase of Burke the bicameral parliament of Great Britain sits at the head of her extensive empire In an "imperial character. In which, as from the throne of heaven, she superintends all the Inferior legislatures, and guides and controls them all. without annihil ating any.” It would certainly ,be a rash experiment for England to shat ter that Ideal by destroying her dual creation, which has become a standard of imitation. Just at the moment when her internal needs would seem to re- qu!r“ the protection against popular excesses It is supposed to afford. j fiiv a aaauULu mo sumry aner the The man who attempts to grow fuzz change goes into effect will bo $192.50. on his bald pate hasn’t any cause to lord It over his wife just because sho spends a few dollars for a hair switch.

If the Progressive Farmer, of Ral eigh, N. C., is well Informed, and there is no reason to believe otherwise, fully $11,000,000 of the money put Into fer tilizers in six Southern states, is wasted,-absolutely thrown away, sim ply because of ignorance on the part of flourishing and becoming parma- j of those paying out their hard earned nent factors In the city's growth.

To be very candid, we don’t believe the half million dollar cotton factory anywhere in sight But there Is reason apparently why a number of •mall Industries should not be encour aged, why they should not be estab lished here and developed. That Is the true way to build np the city Indus trially, and It Is probably the only way we can hope to see Americus ex pand Into a manufacturing city of im portance. Don’t let us get our minds so full of a half million dollar mill that wo fail to see that the small plants are the ones that we should reach out for, and In keeping our eyes aet on a glittering prize away off In the distance neglect the real oppor tunities that surround us. the expenditures for fertilizers in Vir ginia. the Carolines, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, this year will reach $50,000,000. The total school funds of these six states is $11.0b0,000. And an amount equal to the school funds will be spent for fertilizers that will be thrown away through ignorance of soil conditions and soil needs. Eleven million dollars wasted in one year, and wasted every year for some years past, and for some years to come, In ail likelihood.
