Good Times in Georgia.
There is abundant evidence that there
will be a phenomenally large corn crop
this year. Georgia has never figured
officially among the corn States, but she
is beginning to raise the com, all the
same. Last year it was in many sec
tions of the estate a surplus crop, and
large quantities were shipped. This
year the acreage in com has been largely
increased, and if there is no set back,
the com cribs of the Georgia farmers
will bulge with Georgia corn next fall.
If there should be less cotton, there
be more corn.
There are many fields upon the hills
and valleys which last year and for years
previous were d .‘voted to tl e fl< e :y staple,
that are waying green fields of corn now.
All along the lines of the railroads in
Georgia, where passengers used to look
out of the car window upon successive
fields of cotton, lie sees now nothing but
corn, with only here and there a small
patch of cotton that greets bis vision
suddenly and almost startles him. With
the big corn crop, all the reports show
that the farmers in a great many coun
ties have devoted more attention to rais
ing hogs, and when the hog killing time
I comes next winter Georgia farmers will
have raised their own meat to a larger
extent than in any of the years since the
war. With an abundance of corn and
meat, there are apparently well founded
convictions that the price of cotton will
be higher than it has been for several
year?, which will more than compensate
for a short crop, if there be one. With
fair prices for cotton, and plentv of home
raised supplies, there is bound to be
good times in Georgia,
quirer.

The Primitive Baptists of Savannah

Congressman Turner has gone to New

It In a Large Wi
The standard American method of
utilizing a large amount of water power
has hitherto been to distribute the wa
ter to the several consumers or mill
owners by means of a system of head
races, so called, with facilities for its
discharge at a lower level, to be utilized
as the owner or lessee saw fit, and gen
erally on his own premises. This led to
long head canals and to insignificant
tail races, whereas the Niagara plant con
sists of a common tail race, a mile and a
half long, with comparatively insignifi
cant head races. The old time water
power company sold or leased the right
to draw a definite quantity of water at
defined times, with the privilege of dis
charging it at a lower level, and the
mill owner did the rest, whereas at
Niagara Falls the right is leased to dis
charge a definite quantity of water into
the tail race tunnel, with the privilege of
drawing this quantity from the head
canal, or from the river. But over and
above this the product—power—may be
coutraeted for at Niagara Falls, deliv
ered ou the shaft.
To create a large group of mill sites
of the older sort there was necessary, in
the first instance, a large, continuous
body of laud, properly located for the
purpose. If this could not be bought up
secretly, and in large blocks, the whole
water power enterprise would fail to
come to fruition. In Europe, however,
several such enterprises came into being
in spite of the inability of the projectors
to primarily buy tracts of land such as
have been described. This was done by
establishing central power stations near
the dam, or head canal, and then trans
mitting the power produced, instead of
the water to produce it, to the consu
mers or mill owners. Up to within, say,
five years, this had always been accom
plished by means of wire rope trans
missions of power, and it is easy to see
that the invention of tlie electrical trans
mission of power would give this form
of the utilization of t large water pow
er a great impetus. Many such plants
are therefore already in existence, many
are building, but among them all no
one is probably so celebrated and is t-
tractiug the attention of all intelligent
meu as this at Niagara Fa 11s.—Gassier’s
Magazine.
