The Georgian is reminded that on Ma v 22, I SIP, just PI years; ago from last Sunday, there left t the doeks at Savannah the tirut steamship to cross the Atlantic ocean. It was owned hy William Scar borough, tin enterprising mer chant and plant of large means, and in honor ol the port from wiiieli it sailed it was christened the Savannah. According to the records of the New York customs house, tlm Savannah was a vessel of one deck but it boasted three masts, was nearly pm feet in length and re gistered li2U tons. On me* ol the trial trips which th. steamer took along the Atlau tie enlist between Savannah and .New York no less distinguished a personage than President James j Monroe was a passenger. ■ Alter thorough inspection tmmi stem to stern add repeated experi mental junkets, the Svannah was, at last declared to he in readiness for the long journey across the ■deep Wiltels. The ol 'jest ive point of the steam • r was Liverpool. In due course of time n covered the distance without serious mishap of any sort. 1 liciiee it proceeded to Co penhagen and finally it anchored ui the mouth of tic Neva at St. Petersburg. Everywhere the Savannah was uii object of curious interest, and til" storv goes that some of the sjh 'tutors on one of the Saudi lia? :an doeks, seeing the smoke from tin* engine stack, thought the vessel was *>n lire and otVered to aid the crew in extinguishing the names. Thus twelve years subsequent to Fulton’s initial experiment with tie Clermont mi the Hudson the Atlantic ocean was success full.' traversed hy meansof steam. lu spite of the ludicrous phases of the voyage, it market an eveut tlll epoch. For harvests of vaster magni tude have-assuredly not sprung from the rich prairie lands of the great West than troin the furrows plow* dby the keel of tins pio neer l»oat. —Atlanta Georgian.

JAMES M. SMITH’S ADVICE TO THE BOYS. “Stick to the farm, boys” is tic sum and substance of Farmer .fames M. Smith’s advice to the rising generation in an address delivered at the closing exercises | of the Third District Agricultural college at Americus Monday. Mr. Smith’s [icrsonul experience and eminent success, along the lines of Ins advice renders it an thoriative and doubly valuable. He has not only made a great success as n practical farmer, nro duemg among other crops thous ! amis of bales of cotton each year, but he lias combined business ; judgment ill connection with it that has taught him the value of independence and made him known far and wide as u farmer who can hold the staple at will until the market serves and the best price* can he realized hy the producer. Among other practical truths given utterance to Mr. Smith, he suid : “While the farmer lias been feeding and clothing the world, those whom he has been feeding and clothing have often been his worst enemies. When cotton was Helling below five cents there was no reduction in the rate of inter ment he had to pay; no scaling, for tuxes or lessening of the freight rates in Ins favor. In this crit ical period of his history there is no record of it if he received any help. If this condition of affairs; ! fin it continued there would have been no encouragement tor young men to engage in farming. Hut change and a change for the bet ter has come. The farmers every where have made up their minds to control their ow n business and to look after their own business and to look after their own inter est better than they have ever! done before. They have united and decided to hold the surplus produet* of their farms until they can obtain remunerative prices. Tln-y are becoming more intelli gent and are refusing to ho hew er* of wood and drawers of water for other people. They have learn ed that in farming there are two oreposit ions to be considered ; one is to produce the crop, the world j is old igeil to have it. Mr. Smith predicts that, “the farmers will become more intelli gent” and “farming more profit able” as time rolls on, and he truly says : “The desire to got rich quick lias ruined many a young man and made a wreck of his life. Let our young men remember that ; the future rulers of our country, especially when emergencies arise, ! are not being reared in our great ' cit ies and tow int, hut arc today living on farms which they were horn and reared. In times of great trial and peril to his coun try the farmer boy comes from j his rural habitation, often awk ard, but brawny and brainy. \\ lien the storm reaches its great est furv h“ becomes the chief cap tain of the day. All past history records this.” Mr. Smith thinks “the future of Georgia is brighter than the future of almost any other state,” hut he admits that there is al-j ways “more in the man than in the land,” and he confidently maintains that if the Georgia boy will stick to the farm and culti vate diligence he will unquestion ably inherit the earth. —Macon News, STANDS GUARD AT JAIL TO PROTECT HIS SON.
