Best Sugar Cane,
Probably the finest sugar cane
yet brought to Waycross was
that presented the Herald bv

near-Waltertown. The six stalks

Kirkland grew this cane on new
land, and as a fertiliser used on I

Morgan’B Statement.
Is J. Pierpont Morgan hasten
ing Socialism) ?
According to the .Springfield
(Mass.) Republican, Mr. Morgan
thinks lie is. We quote from the
Baj State paper:
“ .'en who had been with M
Morgan in Wall street and to
whom he spoke freely, remember
such remarks as these. 'I and
others like me are inevitable or
ganizers of the work of the world,
Our proceedings will not be
pleasant, but they are necessary.
We are doing what must bedone,
and it is eventually for the in
terests of all the people. When
the time comes that people re
solve to take their own they will
find the systematization ready
for them. We are instruments
of the inescapable development
of economy in production, distri
bution and return. You may
call a* socialists—for that is the
ultimate of ail we are doing—the
taking over by the people of the
material of their life. Some time
sooner or later, they moat do it,
and therefore I am properly
precursor of socialism to that de
gree.'”
What a remarkable and zignifl
cant statement from snehaaonree
If Morgan, Rockefeller and
others of that ilk are advance
agents of socialism then those
who vote to keep them in power
sre helping to bring about social
ism.
It is true that -the process
not altogether pleasant to the
people as Mr. Morgan says.
But at the same time it does
uot seem to be so unbearably dis
tasteful to Mr. Morgan—Atlanta
