Bntered at the postoffice ot Folkston, Ga, ag Second Class Matter, A—— ———————— A=L e ———— e e - e g b e e ewß The Philadelphia Public Ledger says that if the word “servant” were abol ished it would be easier to secure do mestic help, The New York millionaire who says & man can live on 15 ecents a day should keep on thinking. If a man can live on 156 cents a day, demands the Pitts burg Press, why toil, to be a million aire, As to that idea that the price farm ers get for their cattle has some rela tion to the price of meat, declares the Pittsburg Dispatch, it is one of the antiquated notions that come down from g previous century. An estimate of the value of Secre tary Taft's visit to the islands is thus glven by Aguinaldo, the leader in the Jate armed opposition to American rule in the archipelago: “As a fulfill ment of a solemn promise, which many thought would nnt. be fulfilled, the Sec retary of War did not bring independ enca for my people in his pocket, but’ he brought the means of aftaining it. The Filipinos are thankfil for the in formation and pleased at what the as sembly has done, especlally in the in terests of legislation, education and agriculture.” : ‘ X y Much light is thrown on (he ‘causes of .ailroad killings by the patient in vestigation of Senator La Fallette into the accMents of the last five years, notes the New York Press. - That many collisions are.chargable to overwork of raliroad emplgyes no less’thap to lack of proper signals is shown by the stat-. fstics. An engineer who has Leen at his post for forty-three hours tafinot” be called a safe pllot for a ‘trainioad of passengers, This was what caused one wreck; there were many cases of long hours to be found mmartbfii crews ‘of other-smasted trains: -« .1, " By bowing to the popular will and swearing allegiance to the constitution the Shah of Persia has no ' doubt greatly strengthened hig position and made it possible to sweep out of the way all persons whose failure to meet | the impossible standards set by the people has stamped them as failures. Recent Buropean' happenings have shown that some sovereigns wield more actual power as constitutional monarchs than could possibly be exer cised by them as autocrats, declares the New Orleans Picayune. By bending to the storm, rather than defying it, the Sbhah has shown himself to be a wise man in his generation, France is, and for long years hos peen, to the world's bankers what Egypt was to Israel when the lean years came, declares the Washington Post. In time of stress France is to the rescue, and France has mortgage liens on every country between the Mediter ranean and the Arctic circle, including Germany, even where millions of French money is invested. It is a wonderful people. The day the child is born the parents begin to save, and when that boy or girl is married, there is a portion, or a “dot” that keeps the wolf from the door and makes the pot to boll. That is rural France, where there are peasants who are million alres. ; It is very well to say: ‘Preachers must get more!” exclaims the Riech mond Times-Dispatch. How if there is no more for them to get! If ambassa~ dors of the church laudably push into ocommunities where $25 a month is gl;o very most the scant population can manage, and that only at a pinch— what is to be done about it? Doesn't it appear that either $26 communities must not have the gospel preached to them, or else those who preach it must courageously resolve to make shift on the pittance which is such communities’ utmost? In the apparen; absence of any third alterngtive, the latter, fortunately, for the country, is what many gocd and brave meu are resolutely contriving to do.

Georgia Briefs Items of State Interest Culled From Random Sources. Must First Organize District. In answer to a question from the comptroller general as to the period for which a school district may collect taxes, Attorney General Hart has held that a district in order to collect taxes for the year within which it 18 created must be organized prior to the date fixed by law for the return of taxes, - - * Slow Demand for Fertilizers., Trade in fertilizers this year indi cates a falllng off of about 16 to 25 per cent, as compared with last year, according to information received at the state department of agriculture. Last year the sales of fertilizers in Georgia were gsomething more than 700 000 tons. Present indications point to the fact that this year's sales are like ly to fall below 600,000 tons for all purposes, » * & | Prisonerse Cremated in Jail. The county jail at Statesville was destroyed by fire, believed to be of in cendiary origin, one night the ' past week, and two negro prisoners burned to death. One of the prisoners was charged with shooting a man named Westberry in a recent riot between negro employees of Perkins Brothers, a sawmill firm, and white citizens and of ficers, and it is believed that the fire was an aftermath of this affair. There has been much ill feeling between twa factions in the county, : . * * Medicines Subject to Liquor Tax. John G. Capers of the internal rev nue department in Washington has submitted to the revenue agents in Georgia a list of ‘54 ‘medicinal prepa rations, any oné of 'which if handled by a Georgia druggist, will require pay ment of the internal revenue tax or li cense. The list shows under analysis a sufficient amount of alcohol to re quire payment of this license tax,, . Now a mew question has arisen with druggists. How many of these prepara tions would fall under the ban of the state prohibition law? One drugglst appeals- to -Atterney General Hart for instructions. o ‘ S sl a 8 Electric Road Seeks Franchise.

The road overseers of Catoosa coun ty, on the Tennessee state line, and the federal authorities are now in a tangle over the right of the state of ficer to make employees of the gov ernment do road work. Some weks ago the Catoosa county road man mnotified a number of ‘team sters and other hands working on'the government reservation to appear with pick and shovel to do a part in work on county roads in that section. The men fafled to appear and the road com missioners caused their arrest and im prisonment. The matter was brought to the a_t-‘ tention of the federal authorities* In Washington and commuiication was opened with the district attorney in At lanta. Colonel Henley of the dfi@flct attorney’s forces went to Catoosa county and.- appearing before Judge Fite of that circuit secured the release of the men upon a nominal bond. The case will be taken up before Judge Fite at Cartersville shortly. « % =% 3 Cotton School Work Endorsed. The 103 farmers attending the Uni versity Cotton School adopted resolu tions in which they stress the import ance of education and the good work being done by the University Cotton Bchool. The resolutions conclude ag follows: g o ' : “Inasmuch as the income of the gtafe 1s approximately $5,000,000 ‘a, year, it is certainly not asking toe much that one-hundredth part of this revenue be set aside for the maihte nane ‘of agricultural education, which i 8 the baokbone of the state.”” .- Hon," J. J. Connor, president_of the Georgia Agricultural Society, chairmaa of the board of trustees of the agricul- Bural college connected with the usd versity, and also author of the bHI which authorized the appropriation es SIOO,OOO for the foundation of that col lege, states that the great success of the cotton school during its initial ges sion will undoubtedly result in an ex tension of the time for the next term. The interest in the school is growing by léaps and bounds all over the.state, ¥ %x =% 1 Seed Crushers to Aid Dairymen. Secretary C. L. Willoughhy eof the Georgia Dairy and Live Stock Associa tion has sent out announcements troml his home at Experiment Station, statl,gg] that the funds of the organization are g 0 low as to cause its abandonment un less more funds are secured whereby tc continue this ‘important associa tion. He states that those expected to con tribute most .largely .to its support, the farmers, have failed to do so. One of these circulars went to Pres ident Harper of the Cotton Seed Crush ers Association of Georgia and another to Secretary Wallace at his kome in Augusta. These officers have, at once, taken up the work of rescuing the dairymen’s association by having the members of the Cotton Seed Crushers Association in Georgia take out -mem bership and contribute to its support. ‘Should: the Geéorgia. Dairy .and Live Stock Assoclation have to disorganize for lack of support, it would be noth: ing short of a calamity, to not- only the farmers who are feeding and rais ing cattlé,"but to those who manufac ture products that are extensively used in connection, therewith, for it is well] known that cotton séed meals and hulls are the best and dleapest stock food .on"the market. .. = 1 ROTTEN STORY REHASHED.

Senator Tillman alone appeared in favor of the bill, * Occupied a Whole Day of : House Session, DEBATE WAS STRENUOUS Extreme ‘Views Expressed, Pro and Con, by Various Members—lngvita ble Negro Question Was 2 Brought In. A Washington special says: TUnre strained opportunity to express views on the immigration question was af forded members of the house Monday by a decision, soon after convening, to take up and consider a bill appropriat ing $250,000 for an immlgratiojx station in’ Philadelphia, and many took advan tage of it. The code of laws bill was temporarily sidetracked. Members from both sides of the chamber clamored for -recognition, which carried with it the right to speak for an hour. The discussion served to develop vio lent opposition, led by Mr, Hepbur'n of lowa and Mr. Byrd of Mississippi, to certain classes of immigrants .oming to the United States, while others made earnest pleas so rthem upon the ground that the prosperity of the coun try had been advanced because of their presence in this country. The entire session was devoted to the consideration of the bill, which was passed, and at 4:30 p. m. the house ad journed. Condemuation was heaped upon the \ s.w2amship companies by Mr. Hepburn of lowa, who said they were responsi ble for the large immigration to the United States, and the government should not encourage them by increas ing their facilities,, He had, he said, - seen advertisements of steamship com panies in Europe holding out false in ducements to tho ignorant class to go “to the United States. The races coming to this country, -he declared, were .wholly undesirable. -y Mr. Hepburn further made an im passioned plea for tighter restrictions for immigrans in answer to a ques tion from Mr. Bartholdt, Lir. Hepburn said an immigrant was not a producer ‘or valpable consumer when he cannot i _have satisfactory wages. His contribu ‘tion must depend upon whether there is & demand:for that labor, “and,” he ‘ said, “I do not want him to be permit ted ‘to glut the market of labor to the ~detriment of our. people that are.here.”. pial¥ocßiane O, Alatama cailed at-. tention to the fact that at least one ‘thind “the number 'of immigrants that’ ‘come to this country each year return to their fatherland, taking - back with ‘ them . large sums of: .money . which . should have gone to American. work-' men. v S | * The negro question was discussed by . Mr. Byrd of Mississippi, who said that® ‘the - salvation of the south depended upon the negro passing out of that sec- ‘ tion, and allowing the south to be culs tivated by the white people. “Where will you get the white peo ple?” inguired - Mr. Cockran, | . “Oh,” replied Mr. Byrd, ‘“they will come flocking from the north and all over the country.” If it wad desired to impoverish and bankrupt the people of the south he declared, “just bring in a cheap class of labor, and put them in competition with dagoes, who can live J almost on rats and snakes.” Mr. Byrd made a bitter attack on Italian immigrants generally. He did not object, he said, to good stock like the Irish and Germans coming to these shores. He provoked laughter when he remarked that when an Irishman ar rived in the United States the first thing he did was to take a drink and then inside of ‘a year he was running’ the government. Mr. Favrot of Louisiana took issue with Mr. Byrd on some of his state ments as to the Italians, and said that in Louisiana they had proven ‘déesirable citizens, The bill was then passed and the house adjourned. 2 .
