“IR THE HECK,” AS USUAL.
And so South Georgia Is net to get
that experiment station I
When the present session of the legis
lature oonvened It appeared to be a fore
gone oonolnston that provision was to
be made for the establishment of an
experiment station that would be of
some praotlcal benefit to the agricul
tural Interact In this part of the state,
Snoh an institution has been maintained
in Spalding oohnty, near Griffin, at the
expense of the state for a long time, bat
it has been of little or no benefit to the
farming interest In the son them part
of the state, the difference In the soil
and ollmate of the two soottons being
snoh that the experiments made in the
planting and onltlvation of orope for one
ora of no praotlcal value to the other.
Bat South Georgia Is not, It now ap
pears, to get the experiment station.
Soith Georgia “gets It in the neek,” as
usual. The house oommlttee on agri
culture, by a vote of 18 to 11, turned
down tho Mil lntrodnoed by Mr.
Bymonds, of Glynn oonnty, to establish
tbe experiment station In South Geor
gia. With this adverse report of the
oommlttee the bill has but Uttle ohance
of passing the house.
The biU as lntrodnoed by Mr. Symonds
carries an appropriation of $10,000 to
establish the proposed experiment sta
tion, and provides that the fond be paid
ont of the Inspection of fertllisera.
This appropriation—the thought of ex
pending this mnnlfioent sum on an in
stitution In Sooth Georgia—was more
than the colons of Middle and North
Georgia could stand. And then we are
told by Tom LoyleBS In his “Oaoght in tbe
Aroado” column In the Atlanta Journal
that "the foot was emphasized by Mr,
Johnson, of Bartow, that If the British
and Sonthern States Abattoir oompsny
wonld do all it olalmed it intended doing
before the oommlttee there wonld abso
lutely be no need of the experiment sta
tion in Booth Georgia.”
O, yes—IF. The gentleman from
Bartow evidently takes a good deal of
what he has been hearing abont the
plans and Intentions of the British and
Sonthern States Abattoir oompany with
a grain of salt; and, this being the
oaae, his allusion to it In oonneotion
with his vote against the experiment
station for South Goorgla looks like
adding insnlt to lnjnry.
The white primary to nominate a
mayor and throe aldermen to be eleoted
at the olty oleotion on the first Monday
)n December will have to be held be
tween the olosing of the registration
books on the 91st of November and the
date of the regular eleotlon. The regis
tration books will oloso on the 91st of
November, and there will be only about
ten daye intervening between then and
tho first Monday In December. The
registration mnst be completed before
the primary is hold, for at the ’.oltlzens’
meeting whloh ordered the primary and
eleoted ap. exeontlve oommlttee to oall
the primary and arrange the roles and
regulations for tho same, It was express
ly statxl and instrnotlons given that
only those who had duly qualified them-
solvea by registration should be allowed
to vote. It is to be prosnmed that the
oxecntlve committee will meet at an
early day for the pnrpose of ordering
the primary, and Monday, November
95th, or some day of that week, will
have to be chosen.

torial which is intended to impress upon
Georgia farmers the foot that there is

It is said that the Schley coart of in
quiry has selected two largo rooms in
‘whiult to bold its secret sessions whUe
reviewing the evidence and making its
findings. There is snch a great amount
of matter to be gone over, that the ooort
expects its meetings to oontinoe for pot
six weeks or two months.
It saoms that there is bnt little pros
poet of Sonth Georgia's getting an ex
periment station. The committee on
egrionlture of the honse yesterday af
ternoon, by a vote of 15 to 11, decided
to report unfavorably the biU introduced
by Mr. Symonds of Glynn to provide for
the estnbllslimont of uu experiment sta
tion at some point in Soath Georgia.
The bill carried with.it an appropriation
of $10,000 to bo paid out of the fnudB
arising from tho inspection of commer

ST. PAUL’S FIFTIETH ANNIVER
SARY.
From Saturday's Daily Herald.
An occasion of general Interest in the
community wiU be the oelebration at
St. Panl's church tomorrow of tbe
fiftieth anniversary of the organization
of the parish. The memorial aervioe
will take plaoe in the morning, begin
ning at 11 o'clock, and an Interesting
programme will be observed, Rev. Ohss.
T. Wright delivering a speoial sermon
appropriate to the oocaaton. At 8:80 p.
m. there will be another serrioe at the
ohoroh, and a deoldedly interesting
featnre of the programme then to be
observed wUl be the reading of a history
of the parish. This collection of data,
covering a period of fifty years, was
prepared under the supervision of Judge
Richard Hobbs and Mr. L. E. Welch,
and embraces the whole record of the
hopes, disappointments, misfortunes
aud triumphs of St. Panl’s from 1851
to 1901.
8t. Panl’s parish was organized in
April, 1881, the Rev. J. B. George be
ing in oharge of the miaslonary field in
this Immediate lection. Bishop Elliott
was then at the head of the ohoroh In
G'orgia. Tho first vestry was oomposed
of P. M. Nightingale, senior warden;
Y. G. Rost, junior warden; Hon. Gar
nett Andrews, ool. J. O. Brooks, W. W.
Oheever, Dr, J. P. Nelson, Dr. W. 8.
Lawton, Dr. O. J. Harris and R. K
Hines, Jr.
The history of St. Panl’s parish, ex
tending over the lost half oentnry, is In
a measnre a history of Albany, for St.
Paul’s ohoroh has prospered and ex
tended her inflnenoe for good accord
ing to the growth and development of
this olty. The memorial aervioe tomor
row af tomoon will therefore be interest
ing not alone to St. Paal’a parishoners,
bnt to every oltlzen as well. The parish
today Is in bettor condition than at any
period of it* history, and will be a pow
erful faator for good In' the oommanity
for many years to come.
At the eonolasion of the afternoon
aervioe tomorrow, those present will
prooeed to Oakview cemetery and deco
rate with flowers the graves of those
members of the parish who have gone
before. _________
The Mason and Dixon line Is being
resnrveyed for the pnrpose of restoring
not only the line itself, .bat the snolent
landmarks along its coarse. The work
Is In oharge of a joint commission ap
pointed by the statea of Maryland and
Pennsylvania. This commission has the
valuable aid of the United States Coast
and Geodetio Sarvey. It is gratifying
to know that the commissioners have
been able to gather np many of the
boundary stones and to restore those
whloh have been oroken. They have
been reset in solid oement bases. Many
of them are in good condition. When
one hal been lost totally an iron post is
substituted as a marker. Tho boundary
stones are a mile apart. They have ’M’
on the Maryland side and ‘P’ on the
Pennsylvania side. The five-mile stones
aro larger than the others and have the
ooats of-arms of the Calverts and the
Penns. The original work of surveying
this boundary between the two states
and marking It with stones was inter
rupted by hostile Indians when the sur
veying party reached North Mountain.
The Baltimore San tells us that in one
of tho histories of Marylnnd it is stated
that in Washington county, near the
foot of the mountain, a number of the
boundary stones which had been carved
in Eugland, were abandoned, and bad
beon used by a farmer in that neighbor
hood in tho construction of an outhouse.
If these stones conld be found and re
covered it wonld Is) a great achievement
for tho commission.
Everybody knows that two mon can
stop on a street oorner and by appa

started that gubernatorial and presi
dential boom jast to see how many
newspapers he conld stimnlate to talk

THE ABUSE OF LEGISLATION.
We ore living in an age of abuses, and
the tendenoy of the times is more and
more in that direction.
Everything seems to have its 6xoesses
and abases, and nothing escapes -the
evils that result from either excessive
indnlgenoe or the abuse of privilege.
And thas the most sacred rights and
privileges given to man are ton fre
quently made noxlons.
One of the most dangerous nbnses of
the present day Is that to whloh the
legislation of the land Is being sabjected.
There appears to be a growing dispo
sition on the part of many well mean
ing but mlsgnlded people to invoke leg
islation npon matters that should be
regulated in the family olrole, In sooiety
and in the ohuroh. Legislation is In
voked where only moral suasion ooald
avail, end onr legislatures are asked to
pass laws for the suppression of petty
evils, personal habits and social vicea
w hioh can be reaohed only through the
minds, hearts and oonsoienoes of men.
Good morals make good behavior, bat
no amount of prohibitive or restraining
legislation can prodaoe good morals.
Legislation os a means ot improving the
morals and regulating the personal
baMts of men has proved a failure; still
the clamor for sumptuary laws on this
line seems to be increasing. Snoh laws
never accomplish the ends for whloh
they ore designed, for sa fast os they
are enaoted ways and means of evading
them are oonoooted by those for whom
they are intended, who feel that th-»y
are justified In violating the spirit, if
not the letter, of any measnre that seeks
to interfere with their personal rights.
The disposition of parents, of sooiety
and of the ohnrch—and we use these
terms here in their broadest 9ense—to
neglect their own daties and oppor
tunities and then oall npon the law
making power of the land to do the work
that rightly devolves npon them In their
respective spheres, gives Impetus to the
prevailing tendenoy toward govern
mental paternalism. The -danger is
that all sooial, moral and religions
responsibility will be thrown asido and
we will have only snoh a sooial and
moral system os can he provided and
regulated by statutory law.
(total PROHIBITION BY THE DIS
PENSARY ROUTE.
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Macon Telegraph, who keeps up with
the drift at the state capital, says that
Hon Seaborn Wright cf Floyd, the
leading prohibitionist in the house, it
apparently making an effort to dispeu-
sartzo Georgia. Mr. Wright believes in
total prohibition, and his anti-barroom
bill has boon set for next Friday,
bat his friends do not think lie has
mnoh hope of passing it.
Th» object Mr. Wright has in dispon-
■arlzlng t^o .‘ate—and it looks like he
is fathering that- movement—is to break
down the pow;er of the whisky dealers’
association in Georgia.
Considerable surprise has been created
at the number of dispensary bills intro
duced in the honse, and moot of these
dispensaries are for dry counties, too,
aud the temperunoecommittee, of whloh
Mr. Wright is obalrman, has not re
ported a single one adversely.
Mr. Wright's idea is to lead np to
state prohibition by degrees by tho dis
pensary route.
Crescens, the trotting champion, is to
go on the vaudeville stage, the owner of
the horse having been offered $1,500
a week for thirty weeks. The scene
is to represent a race track. The
hone will be led on the stage booted,
harnessed and hitched to a snlky for
the raoe, with all the aocoinpanl-
ment i of trainer and assistants. Then
a panoramlo view of Oresoens going at
fall speed will be prodaoed by tbe bin-
graph. The hone will then be brought
baok on tbe stage, having first been
sprinkled with Boapsnds to give him the
appearance of having gone a fast mile,
and the ) rocess of “cooling him ont"
will be gone through.
The Washington Post asks: "What
is drunkenness?" And the Savannah
Press onswere: "Well, something of
the some order General Sherman said
war belonged to.”
The revival of rumors to tho effeot thnt
Hon. Clark Howell might yet bo drawn
iuto the gubernatorial roll 1ms cunsed
tho announcement to bo made on the
editorial page of the Atlanta Coustitn
tion thnt Mr. Howell will, nndor no
conditions, bo a candidate. This has
reference only to next year, however,
and is not to be considered as a declara
tion on Mr. Howell’s part that he will
not be a candidate at some opportune
time in tho future. Clark Howell only
has to “hold bis own" in the estimation
of tho people of Georgia to be governor
when he thinks tho time has come for
him to become a candidate. -
Hon. H. G. Turner, of Brooks, was
in Atlanta yesterday, and his presenoe
there started the politicians and mem
bers of the.legislature to talking of him
again as a probable gubernatorial can
didate,
“Who would hove believed it possi
ble,” asks the New Orleans States,
"after reading the American denuncia
tions of Spain's concentration polloy In
Caba in 1897 and 1898 that within tbree
years Amerioan generals wonld be ap
plying It in the Philippines? Yet the
nnexpected has come to pass. In Samar
the striotest orders have .been given for
the entire population of the island
to conoentrate in towns, accompanied
by the threat that any one fonud out
side them fvill be shot or bnng os an
enemy of tbe Amerioan people. . How
we more the wrong way under the spnr
of imperialism I The New York Even
lng Post says: “Any man who shonld
have dared in 1898 to prophesy snoh a
state of affairs wonld have been de
nounced far and wide as a slanderer ot
the United States, and been informed
that the American flag never had cov
ered and never wonld cover snoh in

Tbe action of the authorities at Buffalo
and at the New York state prison at
Auburn in giving Ozolgosz no ohance to
pose as a martyr or to make any sort of
sensational grand stand piny during ids
confinement or at the time of his execu
tion, oannot be too highly commended,
Tho suppression of sensationalism by
the officers w ho had the care and execu
tion of the nsaasbiu in charge will have
a most wholesome effect upon pnhlio
morals. The lesson furnished by the
qniet proceedings tlmt characterized this
cose from start to finish will be of value
to the whole country.
