The great task of our day is dis
tribution; the problem of production
has been soived, contends the New
York Journal. Our fertile earth and
the fertile brains of men have pro
duced food enough for body and for
mind. There are bodies and brains
starving with food and knowledge
close by, as there are deserts that
stretch heside the Mediterranean Sea.
Several optimistic editors are hail
ing the recrudescence of the “cottage
bonnet''-—a popular headdress in
Charles Dickens' time—on the the
ory that with it will come in again
the “Dora” and ‘Dame Druden”
style of woman, notes the New York
Globe. This saperlatively feminine
type of femininity with its clinging,
worshipful admiration of the other
gex, is, they argue, the ideal help
ll)-fl!P of man, under whose gentle mins
istrations he attains the greatest pos
sible earthly happiness.
A prevalent form of dishonesty is
ghort weight, announces the Boston
Transcript. The estimate has Dheen
made that $240,000,000 were stolen
from the peoaple of this country last
vear through short weight and meas
ures on the part of food dealers. It
is reckoned that an average of $3 a
year is purloined from each inhabi
tant through shori-measure milk bot
tles, short-weight cans, botes and
packages of goods and short-weight
ice and ccal, The ice thief always
Dblames the weather for his frauds.
Many coal dealers sell thres-quarters
of a bushel of coal for a full bushel.
Heavy wrapping paper is paid for at
the cost of a pound of the food in

1y two-pound packages of sugar ad
vertised were found three ounces

| What are we going to eat? inquires
“the Philadelphia Record. To be thor
oughly humanitarian we must eat no
-animal food. At this season of the
year it is easy to reconcile ourselves
to vegetarianism. But dare we eat
vegetables? Mr. Darwin told us the
other day that he couldn't tell what
was animal and what was vegetable,
Professor Harold Wager told us a
little later that plants have eyes and
brains and feelings. The fact is now
recalled that thirteen years ago Pro
fessor Royce, in lectures on meta
physics at Harvard, asserted that not
only plants but all so-called inani
)g;\te ‘nat_xgre may have intelligences
wherewith they can communicate
with each other, and said that while
these intelligences are different from
ours, we are not warranted in say
ing that they are lower, This makes
the cabbage as impossible an article
of food to the truly advanced think
er as the corned beef is, and the
beans as repugnant to a thoroughly
refined and tender hearted person as
the pork imbedded in them.
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
agrees with Judge J. M. chklnaon\,
of Tennessee, in his spedch at the bar
meeting at Seattle that unwise laws
are a great evil, Whenever, the Coms
mercial-Appeal says, a Leglslature
pasges ‘‘a fool law" it really issues a
sort of blanket invitation for all men
to disobey law., There are not only
unwice laws, the Appeal thinks, but
too many.laws of all kinds. It goes
"en PN [P There comae. M Aou e
that more than fifty per cent. of the
iaws that are passed in this country
arve unwise. There is no ocecasion for
them. They are introduced by men
who want to “raise the wind” for
themselves. The bés( interests of the
public would ba served If these bills’
were sent to a natural death. Aftex
a bill.becojues a law, that's an end of
it.. We can’t very well fight it. But
why should we show any respect for
lawmakers wiio pass a fool law? The
! best thing we can do is to wait for
she dext blection and put these peo
ple out of business. We agree with
Judge Dickinson that many of our
laws are unwise, but we go farther
tham the judge does and hold that
‘here are too many laws in this.coun.
Ly, and that the multiplication o
fcol laws has just about secured our
undoing. g

- INSCRIFTIONS ADOPTED,
D. of C. Agree on the Wording for the
| Wirz Monument.
Savannah, Ga,—lnscriptions for the
monunient to be unveiled by the
Daugliters of the Loniedeiacy 10£dp
taiy Henry Wirz, C, 8. -A., were adopt
€d by the conventicn: mescting ‘hery
after a spirvited discussion, The ¥
cation for the monument 'he kae %cn
the cauze of so much dizcussion will
be decidcd upon tomorrow, The in
seriptions are as follows, as they will
appear when the monument is un
veiled:
On the Front: “In memory of Cap
tain Henry Wirz, C. 8. A. Born Zu
rich, Switzerland, 1822, Sentenced to
death and executed at Washington, D,
C., November 15, 1865. To rescue his
name from the stigma attached to
it by embittered prejudice, this shatt
is erected by the Georgia Division of
the United Daughters of the Confed
eracy.”
On Second Side: “Discharging his
duty with such humanity as the harsh
circumstances of the times and the
policy of the foe permitted, Captain
Wirz became at last the victim of a
migdirected popular clamor, He was
arrested in time of peace, while un
der the protection of a parole, tried
by a military commission of a service
to which he did not belong, and con
demned to ignominious death on
charges of excessive cruelty to fed
eral prisoners. He indignantly spurn
ed a pardon proffered on codition that
he would incriminate President Davis
and thus exonecrate himself fromeathe
charges of which both weren’lno
cent.”
Third Side: “It is hard on our men
held in southern prisons not to ex
change them, but it is humanity of
those left in the ranks to fizht our bat
tles. At this particular time, to release
all rehel prisoners north would ingure
Sherman’s defeat and would compro
mise our safety here,
(Signed) “ULYSSES 8. GRANT,
. “August 18, 1864."”
Fourth Side: “When time shall have
softened passion and prejudice, when
reason shall kave stripped the mask
from misrepresentation, then justice,
holding evenly her scales, will require
much of past censure and praise to
change plaees,
(Signed) “JEFFERSON DAVIS.
“December, 1888.”
A letter from Mrs, J. S. Perrin, Cap
tain Wirz's daughter, was read, ex
pressing the wish that the monument
be located at Andersonville, The in
seription is already on the monument, ‘
While discussing the Wirz monument,
an effort wns made to have n(,-wspa-|
per men excluded, but, when Mrs. A.
B. Hull of Savannah declared the‘
Daughters of the Confederacy had
nothing to fear because of the inserip
tion, they were allowed to remain.
Pitterness and friction were caused
between the Daughters of the Confed
acy and the Grand Army of the Repub
iic by the inseriptions which previous.
ly had been adopted for this monu
ment, The incident caused much dis
cussion on account of the feelings
shown by the Grand Army gt the Re
public. o * S
~ USE SAND AS FERTILIZER.
Rancher Says It Increases the Fer
tility of the Soil.
Spokane, Wash—Frank Rose, a
rancher in Columbia county, south of
Spokane, is experimenting with sand
as a fertilizer of clay scil, and the
result is being watched with interest
by his neighbors as well as the heads
of state agricultural colleges in the
northwest., The purpose of the sand,
which is being spread over the land
where there is clay, is to increase
the fertility -of the soil., Mr. Roso
tried this in a small way last fall and
he says the results in larger and bet
ter crops were-such as to warrant him
in extending the sand mixture over
his entire holdings., He has demon
strated that the sand prevents the
clay from adhering to the plows, also
making the ground easier to work
for sowing ¥

of Atlanta President. s
New York City.—Loyal sons of old |
Georgia, with guests from various
parts of the country, gathered togeth
er here at the Waldorf-Astoria in a
convention of good-fellowship and a
conclave of congeniality. Georgians
were present from almost every poL
tion of the state, from Rabun Gap to
Thownasville; and it was a time when
fragrant “memories of the homeland
were revived, when friendships were.
mm-i:J firmly cemented, and state’s
brotherhcod was put upon a stronger,
surer footing, and, above all else, it
was a time when thoughts of Georgia
were in every heart and a toast to
Georgia was on every pair of lips.
The occasion was the first social af
fair of the season of the Georgia So
cicty of the City of New York, It
was designated as a smoker, and is
to be followed by three receptions and
dances on Tuesdayv, November 24;: Pri-|

T 0 HOLD FARMERS’ INSTITUTES,
Dates and Places of These Vieetinngs
Announced,
Atlanta, Ga.—Word has been receiv
ed by Commissioner of Agriculture T.
G. Hudson at the state capitol that
Dr. A. M. Soule, president of the State
College of Agriculture at Athens, and
director of the Farmers’ Institutes,
will resume the holding of these in
stitutes throughout the state, Simi
lar institutes were held in a number
of counties during the summer of
this year with gratifying results, It
worked up a great deal of interest in
regard to agricultural education, the
result of which ‘was felt at the open
ing of the agricultural college at Ath
ens this fail, .
The places for holding these insti--
tutes and dates, as announced by Dr.
Soule, are as follows:
Cedartown, November 5; Buena Vis

boro, November, 20; Meldrim, Novem
ber z 1; Madison, November . o
Much attention will hmmr*‘fi’
these lectures to the industries of cat
tle raising and dairying. Dr, Soule is
a great advocate of cotfon seed meal
mixed with cotton seed hulls as a cat
tle feed and as a deiry feed. It has
been demonstrated that cattle will fat
ten more readily on this feed than any
other feed. As a food for dairy cat
tle, it is held to be not only the cheap-'
est, but the best, and the results ob
tained from dairy cattle fed upon it
are most gratifying, 3
At these institutes will be given
theoretical talks to practical farmers,
the combination of which will do a
great deal toward developing the con-}
dition of the Georgia farmer, |
