Savannah Nows,
There is of course speculation all
the time as to whether the present
psosperous conditiouof the country
is likely to continue for a few years
more or whether it is about over and
bard times are almost in sight. The
New York Herald has investigated a
number of sources for information
on this subject and printed the re
sult in a recent edition.
If its findings are to be relied up-,
on, about the only place where there
are any signs of approaching hard
times is Wall street. In every other
part of the country there seems to
be confidence that prosperity is here
to. Btay a good while yet. The far
mers are doing well and are getting
good prices for their products. Con
sequently they are not complaining.
The manufacturers aje running their
plants on full time and have orders
a long way ahead. A few cotton
mills stopped during the summer,
but that was because of a scarcity
of cotton at prices permitting of a
profit on the manufactured goods.
Here and there is a manufacturing
plant that has stopped, but in no
case, as far as learned, has a lectory
been closed for lack of orders.
It is reported that the number of
buyers in the New York market this
year has been greater than ever be
fore, and it is said that they have
purchased a higher grade of goods.
That would indicate that they ex
pect a better fall trade than they
had last year, or, in fact, any previ
ous year. When the people begin
to buy the better grade of goods
there is no doubt they are pretty
well supplied with money.
, Bankers and merchants in all parte
of the country speak hopefully of the
future. They see no reason why'the
country should not continue pros
perous. They are acting upon the
theory that there are no reasons for
thinking that hard times are close
at hand. The bankers are loaning
freely and merchants are extending
credits, being confident that they
will get their money when the time
fov ’fa payment, arrives.
The situation here in the South is
encouraging. The outlook is for a
very good average]} crop of cotton,
and it is pretty certain that the av
erage price that will be received for
it will be much above that received
for the last crop. Before the har
vesting of the present crop began
the farmers were prosperous. They
had money in their pockets and
debts were very generally paid. If
expectations relative to the present
crop, therefore, are realized, the
South will be better off than she has
been in many years.
As fas as anybody can see, there
fore, there are no reasons why there
should be apprehensions of hard
times in the near future. Of course
nobody expects prosperity to be per
manent,but there is no doubt ground
for saying that the end of the pres
ent period of prosperity is not yet in
sight.
Fewer Veterans and More Pensions,
Macon Telegraph,
Certain facts in the report just is
sued by Pension Commissioner Ware
are a reminder that time is flying,
aiid that those who can recall the
great American wav of ’61-66 are
growing * old. - The t mortality list is
very long, deathffiaving removed the
•names of 27,842 pensioners during
the year, and it ^estimated that for
the present fiscal year the deaths
will aggregate 45,000.
It is shown that the high water
mark of pensioners was reached in
1902, when the fcotp,l number on the
list was 999,446; in 1893 the per
capita charge was $2.44; now, ten
years after, it is but $1.75. The
largely increased population has had
much to do with this material re
duction, as the aggregate amount
paid has not decreased proportion
ately with the per capita cost of the
roll. The highest total amount paid
Was ,$161,774,372.36; this year it is
$141,752,870.60. Only a small part
of this vast sum still paid is due to
the pensioners of the Spanish war.
The number of widows drawing
their husbanks’ pensions must, there
fore, be enormous, and that hun
dreds of thousands of fraudulent
pensions are being paid, nobody
doubts.
The ever lessening number of the
members of the Grand Army of the
Republic shows that the veterahs
are dropping away like ripe leaves
in autumn, and yet even ne w, thir
ty-eight years after the close of the
war, more than $140,000,000 an
nually are paid out in pensions. It
isjtrue this is $20,000,000 belbw the
largest amount paid out in any year,
but we cannot be sure that the de
crease will continue more and more
rapidly every year. This reduction
of $20,000,000 may indeed be a ca
lamity in disguise. No doubt it is
partly responsible for the movement
in favor of a "service pension” law,
giving uvery Union veteran $12 a
month, which the next congress will
be called upon to enact. We are of
the opinion that it would cost the
go\eminent much less than is ex
pended now to give every Union
veteran that amount, provided all
the frauds are weeded out. But
there is no hope of this being done,
and the new law would simply widen
the field for corruption.

The statements in the dispatches
relative to Turkish outrages in the
Okhrida district during the past
month say that 30,000 to 60,000
persons have been killed and 100,-
000 rendered homeless, destitute
and starving. In all probability this
is much overdrawn, for the purpose
of creating sympathy fir the insur
gents and a sentiment against the
Turkish government. To be very
plain, the stories that come out of
the East relative to the doings of
Turkey should be accepted with a
very large grain of salt. There is
no prevaricator quite so expert as he
of the Orient who is talking either
for or against the Unspeakable Turk.

There have been used by the far
mers of Georgia during the present
year 625,000 tons of fertilizers, as
against 463,000 in 1902, an ^increase
of 162,000 tons,according to the fig-
figures of the state department, of
agriculture. Notwithstanding this
heavy increase in the amount of fer
tilizers used, the farmers, it is stated,
have not secured the same results as
last year, owing largely to the dif
ference in the seasons. Much of the
fertilizers, however, was used for
other crops than cotton, and as a re
sult the corn crop has made a good
showing, and is probably the best
Georgia has had in four or five
years. The sale of this amount of
fertilizers means an income to the
state through the department of
$62,600, from which, of course, must
be deducted the expense of inspec
tion,—Atlanta Constitution.

Senator Carmack of Tennessee an
nounces that at the coming session
of congress he will introduce in the
senate a bill to repeal the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution. That
means he will precipitate among the
politicians at the capital a useless
and fruitless but acrimonious discus
sion of the negro problem. There is
no more likelihood that congress
will vote to repeal the fifteenth
amendment than there is of tihe
moon sending down a shower of
green cheese. I he only results that
would follow the introduction of
such a proposition would be a lot of
intemperate talk and a less kindly
feeling between the races.—Savan
