To a greater extent than any oth er, this is perhaps an utilitarian age. Not that there is any noticeable lack in the progress of scientific research, literature and art, but that the men tal and physical forces of modern men are more specifically devoted to material success and acquirement. In order that the determination “what to do and to be” may be cor rectly reached, the mind must be developed to its full strength and breadth by the acquired knowledge ! number of peach that persistent study alone can give. " ’ 1 e - The -education acquired in our colleges and universities gives that basis of mental strength from which the force of application and adapta tion is most readily gained. No matter what the natural mental strength may , be, systematic train ing of the mind is necessary in order that the combination of judgment and knowledge may be accomplish ed and the application to purpose most easily attained. Whatever the purpose in* life may be, the youtlil on the verge of mak ing that choice must first determine that he will be a man in the fullest and truest meaning of the word; a man determined to do, but at the same time recognizing that there are other men whose rights, privil eges and purposes are equal to his own and deserving a fuff measure of consideration. Successful meu in all avenues of life say, and the records they have made prove it, that ability and de termination to do well whatever one undertakes is the combination most essential to success. Therefore, it is necessary that through education a young man must become qualified for his life work. Let the choioe be made with due regard for his business inclina tions, and the talent that may have become manifest. Environment may be a potent factor in the choice, but wheumade, the application must be determined and persistent. There is a growing trend toward practical education, the training of the hand to do as the mind diivW. Whatever the choice of profess i avocation, trade ois oalling, a dp tor■- mination, to do and to be the b« M i b the most potent factor of suoceb». In connection, with the recent purohase of 250,000,000 bushels of corn by John W. Gates and other associate speculators of New York, a special correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution says: “It is believed in New York that tue losses of the Gates coterie on wheat would possi bly offset their profits on corn, as suming that they could liquidate y their corn holdings at high prices.” If this effort to make gain out of the hunger of the people should bank rupt this orowd of conscienceless speculators, a nation would be glad. It Bhould be a penal offense for any person, or combination, to attempt to create a “cornor” in any food pi'Oduot. —— Since the adjournment of con gress President Roosevelt has pub licly denounced trusts. It seems strange that he did not make some effort to induce congress fo enact a law that would at least curtail the hurtful power exercised by these corporations that are controlled on ly by their greed for gain. While there was an opportunity to protect the people he was dumb as an oys ter, but then the protection afforded the trusts by the republican party has induced the 1 rusts to protect the republican candidates against democratic votes, and on this line the republicans hope for the help of the trusts in the elections this year., , *~f — In considering the treaty present ed by the Colombian government concerning concessions, rights, 6tc., incident to the construction of the Panama canal by the United States government, points were discovered which differ materially from the bill enacted by congress. On account of these differences, the treaty can not be signed before next autumn, as all the modifications demanded by thik'government must be ♦sub mitted to the Colombian govern ment for ratification. TwENTY-three negroes were taken to Reading/Ta, the other day to work in a mill at that place, A pe tition is being circulated in the town, and numerously signed, re questing the mayor to remove the negroes from the municipality “for sanitary reasons and because they are a menace to the public welfare.” —News. ; " • ' ' -r~ ; Within ten years Georgia has as sumed the lead in the production of peaches. In 1890 there were less than three million peach trees in the state. In 1901 the number had been increased to more than seven mil lions. Next year there will be at least nine million peach trees in Georgia. In Maryland, and other states of that section of the Union, there has been a material decrease in the trees. As that section heretofore has growu more peaches than any other, so there the business of canning peach.es and other fruit has been centered. If the production of peaches in that section has decreased, so must the canning industry, unless the peaches are grown elsewhere and shipped there. Right here a problem is presented to the peach growers of Georgia. If the Baltimore concerns can buy Georgia peaches, pay the heavy freight and can them profitably in that city, it stands to reason tkat the canning can be done more N prof- itably in Georgia. Ten years ago one good crop of peaches in three' years was consider ed very good, but the 1902 crop is the third in succession, and the Georgia crop will doubtless aggre gate more carloads than did the crop of last year. As Georgia is the leading state in peach growing, so is Houston the leading county in the state. It is confidently stated that within a cir cle of fifteen miles around Fort Val ley onerhalf the peaches of Georgia are grown. It is not claimed that tliis area contains half the number of peach trees in the state, but that the crop i3 Eurer and larger. With in this area it is said more than half a million peach trees will be set out this season, and already hundreds of acres have been bought for that purpose. We repeat, if Georgia peaches can be profitably canned in' -Maryland and Ohio, Georgia peaches can be •mitre profitably canned in Georgia. It is a business problem. The liu’K.e increase in the Georgia crop makes it imperative that a larger proportion be canned, and it is more than reasonable that the saving of freight alone would afford a fair profit. $25,000 Cash Offered.
