The farmer who has lived at home during the past year has Indeed pro vided for all as well as for himself. The glow and warmth of his Christmas fire la not greater than the spirit of hla prosperity. When an analysis of the agricultural situation Is made. It becomes manifest that this splendid progress has been made In many sections of the state In the face of unusually unpropopltlous circumstances. The year, as regards weather conditions, has been one of the worst known In decades. More remarkable still Is this excellent agri cultural showing, with natural ele ments frowning, as It were, at the growing tendency of Georgia farmers to diversify their crops. For, perhaps, the most hopeful fea ture of all Is the fact that the state ment shows that the farmers of the state are really beginning to diversify their crops. The corn crop of this state during the past year has Increas ed materially, at have other grain crops. There la a new spirit In the agricultural work of the state. It Is a spirit of the reawakening of energy more wisely applied than before, is the spirit that should make every farmer in Georgia rejoice with hope and genuine satisfaction. The report comes from Washington that the entire Taft cabinet will stick to the end of the president's term. This is hard on poor Taft. Think of having to carry Ballinger two years more!

Evidently he does not believe, as some of bis ad visers do, that the democrats would slplt on the revision and bring trou ble on their party. Reading the newspapers the few days after, Christmas does not give one s very favorable Impression of Ae conditions prevailing In a number of Southern communities.

It Is In reality but a beginning of the real holidays. Tomorrow Is the real Chrfktmas celebration day, as Chrlst- may day proper falls this year upon Sunday. The suppressed exuberance of youth—and that of the grown-ups for that matter—which does not find expression today will be all the more manifest tomorrow. The people of Amerlcus will cele brate today and the other Christmas holidays In a safe and sane manner, as they have always done. That allows for the many different things that one likes to do at Christmas without be coming a nuisance to one’s neigh bors. The small boy naturally en joys a rousing amount of noise, with the other good things that Christmas brings. So long as moderate care and thoughtfulness are used, youth may have Its fling without endanger ing Itself or*the properly and live* af others. That's the way the Amerlcus celebrants should spend their holi days. There Is no danger that laughter should end In tears as the result of some Christmas mishap that brings sorrow to a home, unless uncontrolled cntbus'asm takes the bit In its mouth and will not heed the warning of moderation. Let every one Join In the good cheer and happiness of the holi days in a way that will leave nt after-stings to one’s self or to others. There's no reason why one should try to crowd ten holiday seasons Into one—If yon ever want to see another one. That feeling on the morning sl ier will convince you of that. If you don't believe It now. pleted, the farmers of Sumter are facing the coming seasons with hope and achievement springing within their hearts. HAWK MATHIS’ POLICY TOWARD HLIMD TIGERS. Some one is often quoted as saying that "the way to enforce a law Is to enforce it.” Then, If It is a bad law publtc opinion will soon bring about Its repeal. If It Is a desirable law public opinion will sustain and strengthen It and uphold the officials whose duty It Is to see that It is ob eyed. The way to break up blind tigers is —to break them up. Mayor Mathis has shown the most effective way of breaking them up. Raids on such places, the seizure of their stock trade, Is the quickest and most fectlve way of putting'them out of business. It may be that juries will not convict blind tiger proprietors be cause they object to their going to the chain gang, but the seizure of the con trabaud liquors la just as effective a way of putting an end to Illicit sales of whisky. The suppression of the traffic in In toxicants on Christmas eve was good stroke on the part of the mayor. Whisky Is especially a curse at Christ mas time, when so many men, white as well as colored, make nuisances of themselves, disturb the peace and hap piness of others, by foolish Indulgence In strong drinks. Generally a murder or two, or at least some shooting or stabbing affairs, mark the day . that should be characterized by peace, good will, and peaceful enjoyment of the blessings of hdaven. ‘Mayor Mathis has the commenda tion ' of good citizens In the course be pursued. Whenever there Is danger of disorder It Is evident that the may or can be looked to take hold o the situation with a strong hand. That Is what the people as a whole want. So one wants tyranny, or oppression, or prosecution, or unnecessary re strictions, but the vast majority of the people do want, and stand for, a proper enforcement of the laws ami above all for tlifv maintenance of the peace and the suppression, or limita tion, as far as possible, of any evils that may afflict the community and which may be within the scope of the mayor's [lower to lessen, If not re move.

Spalii, of course, was defeated, so far as the display of naval and military streugth Is concerned, but who really secured the greater benefits from the struggle? » Many Insist, and their claims seem well based, that .Spain emerged from the struggle In a vastly Improved con dition. It got rid Of its navy, It la true, but that was largely obsolete, and long before the present time would have been entirely so. 'It has been saved the enormous expense of its maintenance ever since. Its armed forces In Its Island liossesslons the Atlantic and the Pacific, too, were vanquished, but that relieved the home government of the tremendous waste of money Involved In the holding of the Philippines and Cuba and Porto Rico. Its war establishment has ac cordingly been greatly ■ educed as un item of expense. In addition Spain get 810,009,000 in gold from the Unlte-1 States for Its claims to the Philippines. What did Uncle Sail, set and what has he now got? He p <t the glory o! victory over s third rrtc power. He expended several hundi ed millions of dollars, much of which was shame fully wasted, he paid out the solid cash to requite Spain's claims, and he has been turning loose money liber ally ever slcce in the Philippines, in addition he has put himself In the po sition of being forced. In the event of war, to defend possessions many thousands of miles away from home, and the necessity of keeping a small standing army there to suppress na tive insurrections The claim is made that the Philippines have already cost several hundreds of millions ot dol lars since the war ended. What they and may hereafter cost In treasure blood no one can tell. Now comes Cuba, with the promise of more trouble there and the likeli hood of Its annexation, with conse quent trouble on a continuous scale in holding down the half breeds, ne groes and other malcontents of that long disturbed Isle. A dispatch from Washington says: Troops of the United States army are In readiness to be rushed ;o Cuba to maintain peace and protect American and other foreign Interests. Officials ot the War Department look for a crisis in the affairs of the Island Republic by February, and. possibly, within the next six weeks. The last time, 1906, that ,the United States Intervened In Cuba,'the Presi dent of the United Stales, Theodore Roosevelt, and the Secretary of War, William H. Taft, declared that If this country was again called In to settle disputes between factions of the Cu ban Government and maintain peace throughout the Island, the Stars and Stripes would remain there. When Secretary of War Dickenson and Brigadier General Clarence Ed wards, Chief of the Bureau of 'Insular Affairs, of the War Department, visit ed Cuba, In November last, they were startled end amazed by the disrupted and corrupt conditions which they found existing there. It was upon the strength of thler report and the reports of John B. Jackson, Minister to Cuba, to the State Department that the Administration deemed it advisable to have troops and munitions of war In readiness for Im mediate use. Leading officers of the army do not believe that the American flag can be planted In Cuba without some. If not great, bloodshed. According to reports In the War and State Departments, tty. has been the "corrupt practices" of the United States' protege President In Cuba. Jose Miguel Gomez, that has led to Cuba's undoing. These reports state that Gomez has received no less than 81,000,'Hill for cramming measures through the Cuban Legislature for the benefit of special Interests. the Mercer-Capltol removal discussion and appeals to his townspeople -Macon to leave intact the status quo by preserving to the Central City the splendid Baptist university and giving over the vain vision of securing the state house. With judicial accuracy, Judge Speer disregards the Irrevelant clamor the moment and goes to the root of the controversy. He shows that the de mand for the removal of Mercer Uni versity—not to Atlanta or any point specified, but from Macon—originated not in Atlanta, but In the Baptist con vention at Elberton. Tills Is simple Justice to Atlanta. It should not, additionally, be forgotten that the removal Idea was bprn among the South Georgiy contingent, that !t received the unanimous support of the South Georgia vote, and that It was by authority of the whole convention that the committee was Instructed to probe all phases of the situation and report back to the convention. In a matter possessing large his toric potentlaltles, it is well to keep the record straight. And the record, made up of the testimony of the most upright Baptist ministers and laymen In Georgia, many of them from Uouth Georgia, absolutely dissociates the city of Atlanta from the faintest sugges tion of responsibility for the proposed change. , No amount of current furore can al ter the primary truth that Atlanta has not raised one penny toward the se curing of Mercer, has not even pro posed to raise It, and has merely kept herself In the attitude of receptivity Inspired by the dictates of common hospitality and local patriotism. Judge Speer etches In, bluntly and honestly, the retaliatory motive back of Macon's capitol chase. From the depth of a wide career, lie sounds warning against the bitter ness, the long-lived malignity, the business loss and demoralization that are the Inevitable accompaniments of removal campaigns of any nature. His plea that Mercer be left where It Is, and the capitol be left where It Is, and that Georgians return amicably to the affairs of the New Year Is based on the common sense that is the pro duct of a seasoned mind and of a com prehensive experience. In other words, he Is contending, gently, with his fellow townsmen to cease trafficking In Impossibilities. For It fs soaring Into the realms of the non-existent, to Imagine that the ‘ T B (The Macon Dally Our esteemed friend the Atlanta Constitution JU when It asserts that the (£ moval campaign origi„ atal latory spirit. , t „ lrue H coincident with th« but it goes far out beyond k the practically uttiverzal fl Middle and Southern Ueoqa In regard to Mercer tv e face a word.

Up to the h removal question was g heel of the State Baptist when Macon's representative the hall—Macon did not ) •Mercer wanted anything of has -Macon since learned »bj But we shall say more on this at the proper time. In regard to the removal tf (ta\—this Is no new question hi gla. There was a time when lation of the state was l a fined to the banks of the river and vicinity. There railroads. Augusta became ttal because It was the ulatlon and' could be s water transportation. Then was moved to Louisville ib little city became the center ulatlon. Later still It, for reason, went to Mllledgerille. At the close of the lVar States and the subjugation rfj gla, a foreign military pova It to Atlanta without the leasti oration of the wishes ol the this State. It Is true that k later (1877) the question of 1 to MUledgeville was sn vote. The negroes were balance of power, they had cently been the whole In tbe State, and they voted sustain the action of the th titles In moving the Atlanta. Thus Atlanta a In 1880 there were 171 center.

Mocon Is the rallroal I state house Is going t£ be removed Geor * la - from Atlanta. The constitution requires a two- thirds vote of each branch of the gen eral assembly to give such an Idea vitality. No one that keeps a steady head, dreams that such a rote Is even ap proximately possible. That fs why Atlanta Is not con cerned regarding the more serious as pects of the stuatlon, but Is concerned In keeping the peace with a sister city whose interests are, or ought to be, largely fdentlcat with her own inter ests. a So far as removals, per se, go, the transplanting of Mercer would be far the simpler undertaking—if 1 Atlanta J Marylan<1 ' Tnere “ undertook or thought lo’ undertake It. eUher ,egaI ' mora . ...
