The Cartersville Courant is of the
opinion that the fertiliser business
needs investigation. No doubt of it,
and the entire business methods of tbe
Agricultural Department demand a
thorough overhauling.
A feeble attempt was made in that
direction some time since, but the ring
wae at that time too strongly intrench
ed. In support of ita declaration the
Courant says:
There are now In this Slate, we understand,

a Gen. Crosrt, speaking of Mr. Blaine's
disappointment over bis defeat for tba
Presidency, which he esye was rery keen,
makes the following extraordinary state
ment: "I really believe, though, thst
Blaine wes mors disappointed at not being
retained as secretary of 8tate nnder Ar

policy, and'It grieved him lorely to be
-compelled to give up. Gen. Crosby is the

about the sinking of the Alabama.

moments' winding up suffices to store
enough power In the motor to run a sew

Trie civil service commission is under a
hot fire just now. The New York Sun
says: “Everybody knows that Commis
sioner Dorman B. Estonia unable to write
the English language grammatically, to aay
nothing of elegance of style. It appears
that Commissioner John M. Gregory and
Commissioner Leroy D. Thomsn are In

Ah almost Incredible story of clerical
intolerance comes from Little Leigh, In
Cheshire, England. The resident Baptist
minister reported at a public meeting that
since coming to Leigh he had met with ac
tual persrcution from tba rector. He bad
been unable to obtain a house In which to
live, end having decided to bolld a dwell
ing. he found that bla attempt to purchase
land from I.ord Leigh was mat with a pro-
cst from the established churchmen. In
reply, the rector admits the troth of these
charges, and declares that be hot keeps bis
o-dinetlon vows, having sworn to do all In
this power to prevent schism." There is

Accepting this as true, the whole
business of inspecting fertilizers and
oils seems to he loosely conducted, and
for the benefit of a few officials not pre
eminently qualified for the business.
We have the authority of a person of
experience who says that these "tag-
totera" have pocketed from 13,000 to
$7,000 annually. It is right and proper
that farmers should, be protected, as
against spurious and worthless fertili
zers. In an attempt to furnish this
protection the State collects annually in
the neighborhood of seventy-five thous
and dollars from the manufacturers
of or dealers in commercial fertilizers.
This is more than the Agricultural De
partment is able to get away with,even
with tbe aid of Jack Warner’s worm
killer, and in every Legislature at
tempts are made to get hold of the
fund in various wavs. All intelligent
people will agree that the farmers are
but poorly protected, Oven if the dealer
in guano is heavily taxed. The system
is crude, faulty and unsatisfactory.
But it might be made of great service,
It is not only the duty of the State
to protect farmers, but to guard the
lives and the health of citizens. Chem
ists thoroughly equipped could not
only look after tbe guano, bnt might
give attention to the fearful adul
terations of food and drink, which are
doing much of the work charged up to
malaria and various ailments.
Flour, the staff of life, is so adulter
ated as to contain but little healthy
nutriment. Glucose has taken the
place of the healthy product of cane.
Chicory assumes the placo of coffee,
and dried willow leaves that of tea.
The imitations of butter and lard are
quite as had, il not worse. Vinegar
nnd pepper represent cheap and dele
terious stuff. So with almost every
thing that furnishes the daily food of
the people.
In the matter of drinks, It Is equally
as bad, if not worse. Every intelligent
physician will agree that puro liquors
aro absolutely os indispensible to his
practice as pure drugs and medicines!
and yet the stufi that is manufactured
and sold under the names of brandy,
whisky and gin are but poisons of
slow hut suro action.
The popular drink, lager beer, which
if pure is a good tonic to man and a foe
to drunkenness, is so fearfully and va
riously adulterated that much of the
kidney disease and blood poisoning
may be ascribed to its use.
We but hint at dangers to which the
people aro exposed every timo tboy at
tempt to slakq thirst or appease hun
ger,
Good chemists, whose duties would
be to look after these matters, and who
■honld he paid ont of the funds as
raised by the tax on fertilizers, would
improve the public health and reduce
the death rate in tbe State.
The subject is an important one, and
we hope not only to enlist the power
ful co-operation of the Courant, bnt
that of each legislators as hope to do
the State some service rather than to
promote their political aspirations.
She is hopeful because her mines,
her forests, her lands, her opportuni
ties, her railroads, her manufactures
and her future are recognized all over
the country and are attracting capital.
She is hopeiul because money can be
hsd upon real estate collateral at 8
per cent., where four years since it
could only be had upon personal prop
erty at the rate of from 12 to 18 per
cent.
She is hopeful because her wheels
are moving and the hum of industry is
heard on every side.
But, more than all, she is hopeful be
cause the power of an oppressive polit
ical element is broken and terrorism
lies far behind her.
Peace reigns in the country. Thero
seems to he a desire on the part of cap
italists to place their mpney in this sec
tion in schemes of development and
business extensions. The present is
an auspicious moment in the history
of tbe land. It is not enough
that we should say to these new com
ers,“Welcome 1 Here are opportunities,
make the most of them. Here are
business enterprises, take hold and
push them. Here are homes, come
and occupy them.” We say this is not
enough. To this should be added,
and we guarantee you not only perso
nal security, but protection for the in
vestments you may make here.”
Here in Georgia, at least, there is
need {or this, and need for action that
shall prove sincerity. The Georgia
Legislature to-day has an opportunity
to ntter a declaration that will distin
guish it as the most enlightened body
assembled in this State Bince the war.
Let it declare all investments in this
State worthy of equal protection and
privilege, whethvr it he in railroads,
mines or mannfactures. Let it modify
the unwise railroad laws passed du
ring a season of great prejudice
and excitement brought about by self
ish politicians and narrow-min&:d
demagogues.
There never was a time when such
action would attract so much attention
abroad, or be held in such deep sig
nificance. The spirit of the North,
which rea:bes out its hand to the South
in friendliness and reconciliation, is
pariotic in the last degree. That were
indeed a servile and unmanly spirit
which refuses to meet it upon
as high a plane. God forbid that
Georgia should shake the hand of this
reconciled friend and rob his pocket at
the same time. The time has come for
the men of this State to throst aside
demagogues and politicians and speak
for her.

A MILLIONAIRE'S MANSION.
Tha New House that Mr. Rood Is Fitting
up on Nob Kill, by the Colden Cate.
Condensed from the San Francisco CalL
The new mansion of J. C. Flood ts of
b-own stone and It crowns Nob Hill. Tbe
building stands In tbe middle of 275 feet
by 212 feet six Inches, which is bonnded by
Sacramento street on the north, California
street on the south. Mason street on tbe
east and Cushman street on tbe west. A
brown stone fence, three feet six Inches in
height and inrmonnted by u railing of iron
and bronze, will enclose the grounds,
which will be >oon laid ont In miniture
lawns and fljwer gardens. The building
faces California street, and fa 106 feet by
180 feet over all, and Ot feej high, with
walls 25 Inches in thickness. The style of
the architecture Is the Roman classic, the
windows of the first story being finished
with pilasters of Doric design, and Ibore
of the second story with Ionic pilasters.
The variety of ornament greatly relieves
the effect of the fist brown wails, that are
capped by a classic balustrade. The roof,
winch is not visible. Is of wood covered
with copper. The splendid portico which
stands out from tbe facade in conspicuous
ymmetry, is the principal external orna
ment. Bix-een Doric pillars lend dignity
to the design of tbe portico. The browo
stone steps leading up to the portico are
each thirteen feet tong and composed of
one slab.
Passing through the Imposing doorway,
nine feet in width by fourteen feet in
height, which will be furnished with adoor
of elaborate design, tbe v altor finds him
self In a vestibule more noticeable for ita
exquisite finish than Its size. Tbe floor Is
carefully constructed of costly marble
mosaic, ana tbe woodwork and metal fur
nishings are expensive oak and polished
bronze. The vestibule leads to aH ante-
hall twenty-two feet square, with a classic
Doric celling, which will be richly frescoed
as soon aa the dts - ,s can be completed.
The floor of the a, -ball, like that of the
vettlbale, Is of n - ole mosaic of the same
admirable desig- id quality.

Whereupon the Herald man bar this to

re. tins as follows: "Being in

Studies should disappear before the South

A Wise Rule.
The wisdom of the rule in elections
during the joint assembly of the Legis
lature was aptly illustrated in the elec
tion of Judge Clark. During tbe sec
ond ballot there were indications of
that old dovlce of stampeding votes,
Tho report says:
Before the result was announced several
members asked leave to change their votes.
Mr. HaiicU, ot Wehater, rose to a point ot or
der, and read rule o from the manual of rnlea
for the Joint aculon, that when the vote oi a
member !■ recorded It shall not he changed
unleaa the member states In hla place that he
voted by mlatake or that hli vote was not re
corded correctly.
The chair ruled the point well taken and or
dered the vote announced •• originally rs

It is n common trick of politicians to
pledge members to a certain ballot, or
alter a certain number of votes have

If the role referred to had been en
forced, the State of Georgia wonld not
have suffered the wrong, and the peo

The rule is a good one, and Judge

ita enforcement.
