the Issue was pretty squarely made be

No doubt, Mr. Tillman will he re-elected

who will control the stale a very few

In the campolftn that rlosed with Ihe

Mr. Thomas, manager of the Georgia
Car Manufacturing Company. In an inter
view ptiltllKhtd tn Ihe Morning Neva thla
wc-k. said ihat the company mado It a
point to buy everything it could in Ha
vsntiah. That Mr* the ease the car
works are an object lesson for thoee peo
ple of Savannah who mk li a point to
do most of their buying away from Sa
vannah Many people of this cliy buy
their clothe* at the North ami some buy
their groceries there. It is also asserted
that there are manufacturing estahllsb
ments which buy materials In other place*
which could Just as well be bought here.
If Savannah la to prosper her people
mu* work for her interest. There is no
way In which they can do that so Well a s
by spending their money at home. Tens of
thousands of dollar* are. sent assay from
ihe city every year that could be Just mn
well spent here, and would be apenl hero
It the people bad the right sort of public
spirit.
The Georgia Car Company has been a
great hNp to Bavomuih. It hits at the
present lime about 330 employee, and they,
wlih their families, make a considerable
‘"billion to the city's population. 1, has
been a success from the time It was
ready for business, because It has been
Inielltgrnily and economlcallly munag.d.
It has had the right sort of men at Ihe
head of It, and there Is no reason why In*
prosperity should not continue. If some
of the other manufacturing enterprise*
which were started here and failed had
been as well managed they would now be
in operation and paying dividends lo thoae
who put their money In them.
In any undertaking good management
Is necessary lo success. Too often when
new enterprise* are started those who put
a lltlle money In them insist upon their
relatives or friends bring given the re
sponsible positions, even though they have
no fitness for the duties required of them.
A* a result Ihere tat failure, arul difficulty

TOO Vt tYY LAW*.
In one of the papers read at the meet
ing of the American liar Association at
Saratoga this week the opinion was ex
pressed that too many laws are enacted.
The opinion is a sound one. The Amer
ican people do not seem to be mulshed
tiniest* they are suggesting or making new
lawn. The stalutea of every one of the
states are now so numerous that few
even among the lawyers are well acquaint
ed with more than a fraction of them Kv
ery year In some of the states, and evary
two years In other states, tho Legislature
meets anti enacts a great number of new
laws, the most of which are forgotten al
most as soon as they have been signed
by the proper officials.
What Is the use of so much legislation?
Would II not he far better If etate legis
latures did not meet more than ones In
live years? A vast amount of money would
be eavetl to the taxpayers ami the people
would not be annoyed with ao much legis
lation.
If the Legislature of any one of the
states met twice a year, and remained In
session three months or more at each
meeting, it would never get through with
the bills that would be present'd to It.
There would always be sronebody with
a hill to Introduce. Indeed It la
seldom that a Legislature g able to
kee p up with the business brought before
It.
But who is to start the reform suggested
at the mee ting of the American Bar Asaev
clatton? And what chance of success
would It have If It were started? The pol
itician* are against widening the lime' be
tween the meeting* of the Le gislature and
the lawyers, ass rule-, find business In a
multiplicity and confusion of taws. Far
mers and business men are slow to lead
In reforms.
it is probable that the evil will continue
until It becomes mi Intolerable that there
will be a general protest against It. Then
probably law-making led Ice wilt meet less
often, and when they do meet will aim to
make a few good law* rather than many
that are bud or are of no benefit to any
one.
It la surprising how many "<lead •tins"

again during tho last days of the Horlon
law tn New Tork However, they are all

TFTE MOKMNG KEWS: SATURDAY; SEPTEMBER 1, 1900.
A OOTTO* mop KM-INITK.
If the estimate made by the Agricul
tural Commissioners of the Southern
states at their meeting In Haleigh. 54. C..
of the output of ihe cotton crop for tb
season which beglna to-day. Is generally
accepted, the price of cotton will go con
siderably above what It la at present. The
estimate la 1.JM.800 bales. That Is a short
crop.
The condition of the cotton market at
present la not such as lo encourage the
belief that In Ihe face of a short crop
the price Is likely to drop any lower. The
crop of the season lust cloe.-d was a short
one, and there was an unusually heavy
demand for rotten pretty nearly nil of
the season Consequently the market la
nearly bare of cotton. Not for yeors ha*
the visible supply been so small as It Is
now.
And there Is no reason for thinking that
tin- estimate of the Agrlrultuial Commis
sioners Is not elose to the truth. They
are In close touch with the farmers of
their respective states, and are therefore
In a position to get the latest and most
reliable information. It Is certain that
Ihe reports from nearly all parts of thfa
stale are of the most distressing charac
ter. In some counties not a half a crop
will be made.
At present It doc* not look a* If there
would be much for the Cotton Growers'
Protective Association to do. Judging from
the light receipts the farmers are In no
hurry to sell cotton. It Is probable that
the most of them are able to hold It
awhile, and Ihe belief that the price I*
going higher will encourage them to make
special efforts to hold It
Savannah's cotton receipts for the sea
son Just closed are considerably larger
than II was supposed they would be when
It became apparent that Ihe crop was n
short one. They are only a few thousand
bales short of the receipts of the previous
season. The truth is Savannah Is such
a good cotton market, that Ihe cotton ter
ritory tributary to her Is steadily becom
ing larger. She got many thousands or
hales last season from points which have
heretofore sent her very Mule cotton.
Notwithstanding the fact that the out
look Is that the crop In the South At
lantic states will be much shorter this
season than It was the last It would not
Is* eurprlslng If her receipts should come
close to those of the season Just closed.
The enterprise of her cotton men and
her railroads are such as to Justify the
expectation that they will.
A SUGGESTION FOR THE SOUTH.
In ht- address at the meeting of the
A'.tricult ural Commissioner* of the South
ern state* at RaWigh, N. C., this week,
the Secretary of Agriculture. Mr. Wilson,
made some suggestions that ought to
•rouse considerable Interest among South
ern farmers.
One war that a great deal of attention
should be glv. n to Ihe cultivation of
gruHes and legumes Every farmer who
grows cotton ought to give some atten
tion to stock raising Cattle can be raised
at a proht In any part of the South, and
by growing grasses and legumes and
f. e-llng them to cattle the means of sup
plying the land with humus la obtained.
What most Southern lands need ts
hmnus. They hive been worked so long,
without being fed anything except com
mercial fertilisers, that they contain very
little humus. Asa consequence the crop*
growing on them cannot stand a long
drought.
Crops that will stand a drought are on
land that retains moisture a long time.
Such land Is lhat which has plenty of
humus. In this state, at the present
time, a great deal of the sea island cot
ton Is grown on new land—land from
wl-lch the timber has been recently taken.
It has plenty of humus, und hence not
only holds fertilisers better but also
moisture
The farmers In the South Atlantic state*
*•111 n*ver get satisfactory return* froth
their lands until they adopt this sugges
tion of Mr. Wilson. They must get their
lands In good condition before they wilt
produce abundant crops The quickest
and .alest way to get them In that con
dition Is either to devote a part of the
farm to stock or to plant grasses and
legume* and turn then, under green.
However, there are very few Southern
farmer* who do not know how their lands
should be treited. Th trouble with them
is that they are every year ao anxious to
raise a big crop of rotton that they give
all of thlr time and devote all of the
land to cotton. They work hard eultlyat
ing a hundred or more acres under un
satisfactory conditions, and do not get
aa much In return as they would from
one-fifth the number of properly culti
vated acres. In time they will come to
the conclusion probably that it ta better
to treat their land so that It will yield
from one to two bales of cotton to the
ncre Instead of one bale to three acres
The state election In Vermont will oc
cur next Tuesday, Bep. A There isn't
any doubt. of course, that the Republi
cans will elect their slate ticket, but the
probabilities are that the Democrat* will
poll a larger vote than for many years
Beyond that. It is believed they will se
cure s larger representation In Ihs Leg
islature than they hove I tad for many
terms. Four years ago there were eleven
Democrats In th* House; two years ago
the number was Increased to forty-a wo.
and the belief now I* that the forthcom
ing election will still further Increase the
number to fifty or more. Republican
leaders In the etate. looking for Demo
cratic Increase*, are already ascribing
probable Republican losses to the "sure
thtng” apathy In the ranks of that party.
If they would face the situation manfully
and frankly etate what fit probably true,
they would no doubt admit that Demo
cratic gain* nnd Republican losses were
the result of dissatisfaction with the Re
publican administration.
The Republican elephant and the Dem
ocratic mule have not yet ceased trump
eting and braymg because of the recent
political flop of Senator Stewart of Ne
vada. Thetr demonstration*, however,
are called forth by widely differing emo
tions. The trumpeting of the elephant
D from abject terror, while the braying
of the route Is expressive of the Joy that
It feels that Stewart ha* become a Re
publican ami not a Democrat.

by the way, by n dclver Into history, that

fact, a modern novelty. Something like
forty years ago Garibaldi, the Italian
liberator, achieved so much notoriety by
discarding Ihe universal swallow-tsH coat

women was named “the Garibaldi” lo hla
