Editor Monitor: —lt does not require a close observer to see a wonderful difersnee m the condi tions of the farms, farming and condition of the present crop while traveling from South Geor gia to North Georgia. The farmers in this section are far behind on account of rain. The wheat, crop is good. Before I went to South Georgia, Montgomery county, two years ago, I had a physicians who had practiced in both, North Georgia and South Georgia, to assure me that South Georgia was not the death hole or grave yard as it. had been reported so many times, therefore I went with a determi nation to locate and J find it. is a great section and only needs to be develoed. Since I came back to my old home, two weeks ago, i have con vinced many people that, that section is the coming section of Georgia. 1 have had four fami lies to assure mo that they would go there this fall. I 1 will remain here at my old ! home two months and teach, as- I ter which I will return to Mont gomery county. J have enjoyed the royal wel come and entertainment, given to ime here by my old friends, but j will be glad when the time comes for mo to return to my friends m Montgomery county. Very truly, W. A.

A CONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX, In the midst of the personal and political contention and confus ion over the tariff hill in tlm Sen ate President Taft has thrown an other apple of discord that is cer tain to make the lines between the Democratic and Ucpuhlienn parties less sharply defined than ever. Appropriating a Democra tic monsurf —the income tux —and' asking Congress to so amend tin* Constitution as to make such it tax law as will meet the approval of the courts of the laud,lie would add one more link to the chain of taxation. But the issue is now clear-cut: l! two-thirds of each house of Congress, and tliree fourths of the State Legislatures (or State conventions culled for the purpose) approve the income tax amendment it will become constitutional. How far some States will lie compelled to sur render to the Federal government revenues now Been red to them selves through such taxes remains to he seen. We may expect to hear much discussion —pro and con—of the proposed amendment before it is adopted. It may re quire more than a year before legislative machinery can he put in motion to pass upon t he amend ment. But no one need now com plain of not having the opportu nity of passing upon it. The bars have been let down : the issue is made, t he end no man can see. One thing only is cer tain. The session of Congress call ed to revise the Ingli tariff laws is likely to conclude its labors by creating new taxes. The whole purpose of corporation taxes, in come taxes and inheritance taxes at this tune is to enable the Re publican party to get, money enough for its extravagances with out lowering the tariff to the re venue-producing point.—M aeon !
