Farm Values in the South.
The current number of the Man¬
ufacturers’ Record contains an in¬
teresting and instructive article
showing the great advance in the
value of farm lauds of the South
within the last four or five years.
This advance is so remarkable that
it cannot fail to attract very gen¬
eral notice. And this advance
isn’t confined to any one ot the
Southern states. It exists in all
of them. Lauds that sold for $3
to $5 an acre five years ago are
now selling for $15 to $20 an acre.
In the correspondence which the
Record publishes the statement
that lands have advanced 50 to 200
per cent, is very common. In¬
deed, some, of the statemeuts al¬
most surpass belief, For in¬
stance, Mr. G. Gunhy Jordan of
Columbus, Ga., says: “Some of
the most marvelous advances of
Georgia lands have come to our
knowledge in the last few years.
We have seen sales in the past ten
years which show 500 per cent,
advance. There is no doubt about
it, the South is in the saddle.”
Ot course, the price of cotton
has had a great deal to do with the
advance in the price of lands.
Good cotton laud pays much bet¬
ter than good corn or wheat land.
The world is just beginning to
find out the real value of Southern
farm lands, and consequently, in¬
vestors are putting their money in
them. Those who were fortunate
enough ten or even five years ago,
to have confidence in the South’s
luture, aud fo put money in her
lands, will reap a rich harvest.—

National Politics Waking Up.
Washington, Dec. 25.—Nation¬
al politicians are just beginning to
wake up to the game President
Roosevelt is playing.
When it came out that the pres¬
ident is endeavoring to make him¬
self the real leader of the Republi¬
can party in New York, politicians
from other parts of the country
began to take stock. There has
been a lively exchange of views
during the last week.
Men high in party councils in
all parts of the United States have
had excited conferenc?s. They
are convinced now of what they
have suspected for some time.
The leading Republicans in con¬
gress and the men who have con¬
trolled states, although not iu con¬
gress, have arrived atone conclu¬
sion and that is the president i9
not only making plans to establish
himself as the Republicon boss of
New York, but he has well under
way plans that will make him the
political boss of the U nited States.
VVhat it amounts to is that tiie
president is organizing a Roose¬
velt party regardless of present
party leaders.
If you know any news—entertain¬
ments, marriages, death’s visits,
visitors, or unusual incidents of
any kind, write us, phone us or
stop us on the streets and tell us.
Don’t keep it to yourself and then
wonder why the editor had noth¬
ing to say about it.

SOUTHERN COTTON GROWERS
Will Meet in State Capitol Next
Wednesday, January 3.
The Georgia division of the
Southern Cotton Association will
meet in the state capitol, Atlanta,
on Wednesday, January 8, at 10
o’clock a. m , for the purpose ot
electing officers for the ensuing
year and transacting such other
business of importance as may
come before it. The meeting will
be the most important one in tho
history of the association, and
every county in the state should
be represeuted.
The railroads of Georgia have
granted a rate of one and one-third
fares plus 25 cents for the round
trip, on the certificate plan, certi¬
ficates to be obtained from agents
at the points where tickets are
purchased.
It is desired that every county
president attend this convention,
whether he comes as a delegate or
not. A complete list of all dele¬
gates with post-office addresses
should be forwarded by the county
president or secretary as soon as
possible to President M. L. John
som, Empire building, Atlanta,
Ga.
The Georgia division has just
completed a year of hard aud suc¬
cessful work. President M. L.
Johnson has been one of the most
earnest and enthusiastic officials
of the entire organization. He
has continued the fight which he
began in the New Orleans conven¬
tion last January where he went
as a delegate from Georgia. There
he made the fight, ably assisted
by others, for a minimum price of
10 cents for cotton, against the re¬
port of the price fixing committee
led by Ex-Lieutenant
Jester, of Texas, for 9-cent cotton,
and won.
At Asheville, N. C., last
tember, President Johnson
others, strongly urged the
tive committee of the association
to fix the minimum price of
at 12 l-2c. He lost this fight,
price being fixed at 11 cents.
sequent events, however,
proven the correctness of his
tion, for the association is
battliug the conducting a
movement of 15 cents for the re¬
mainder of the crop, with a
to making the average
price for the entire crop 12 l-2c.

Streets Red With Blood.
Russia has had a Red Saturday
to ina ch with her Red Sunday
some few months ago, but in this
case the b'ood was furnished not
by helpless Jews, but by troops
and Russians fighting desperately
agam9t each other in the streets
of Moscow; and it appears that the
revolutionists made a good show¬
ing against the troops. From day
to day the situation has grown
more critical in both the new and
the old capitals of the empiie un¬
til a virtual state of war exists in
each. As a matter of fact martial
law prevails practically throughout
the country. On every hand the
people are confronted with bayo¬
nets and bullets, but they are not
permitting themselves to be ridden
over and killed without an effort
in their own behalf, as has been
the case heretofore. The outlook
for the house of Romanoff
probably never darker than at
present. Its hope lies almost
exclusively in the ability ot Prem¬
ier Witte to pacify the people aud
induce them to return to their
legiance, and daily Witte’s
is apparently growing less.

Nicholas on the throne of his
