Through the stern school of adversity and the wastefulness ot years past, the Georgia fanner has garnered much of wisdom. Prior to this period of prevailing prosperity, agrloulturo had known somo lean ycara. Impoverished by all-cotton cropa, and the conscqeunt necessity of keeping smokehouse and corn crib In the warerooms of merchants, farm and farmer were at low ebb. It la trite to aay that the deep-seated, permanent success and pros perity of a country Is predicated upon the condition of Us farming class. Georgia felt the depression of tbo decay of agricultural Interests through every artery of manufacture and trade. Then a change came—a wide, far-reaching change for the better. Farmers began to see the light. They began diversifying, perfected organization for mutual aid, built up their lands. They prospered, and with them all Georgia. This year secs more adverso crop condlUona at the beginning of July than have been known In many years. Late spring and cold killed the j C< p5mt r uiutonant*Esrl'*McFaria V'to young cotton plant, compelling replanting In many Instances two and | On* Hundred mid Fifteenth company, three times. Fruit, one of Georgia's great sources of wealth, Is a very c°a«t _artlUtry; First Lieutenant Wll- ehort crop. Yet Georgia farmers are In better shape to weather such conditions than for many, many years.' They have saved from the fatness of years past. They have learned to fill the home smokehouse and tho corn crib. They have built up the waste places, cleaned the fence corners, culUvated the newground, brought to tbo yielding soil some science and study of Its nature. So Georgia faces with complacency an outlook of short crops which would have meant panic a few short years ago, and this complacency Is -amplified by a dally bettering of conditions. And we are only beginning to learn. Agricultural schools are destin ed to lift the farming Interests of the state marvelously. It means clean, capable, educated young men to give to the soli not only their brawn, but their brain. Tbo Georgian believes that within the next ten years agricultural In terests in Georgia will experience an expansion unparalleled In the union.

For the second time In tennis history the Southern tennis champion ship Is to be held in Atlanta, and Tuesday the city Is welcoming the pick of the racquet performers of the South. Up to last year the so-called Southern tennis championship was held In Washington and was far from being a representative Southern event. But with the organisations In Atlanta of the Southern Lawn Tennis Asso ciation came the transfer of tho event to Its Ideal location—Atlanta. This transfer proved a most desirable one and tbo first Southern championship held In Atlanta was a huge success. Fifty-one players took part, and though the singles championship went to a University of Mich igan player from California, tho other trophies were retained In the South and the whole affair went through without a hitch. This year the tournament starts with even brighter prospects and should be a complete suocess. The fact that tho winners at singles and doubles are to be sent East for the national events will guarantee hard er fought contests and a wider Interest Until this year any Southern player who wished to take part In a na tional event had to pay his own way. This year the Southern Lawn Tennis Association has taken up the responsibility of sending the w%iners In dou bles and singles to the East snd deserves every encouragement In Its ef fort to raise the necessary money. THREE PEACE QUESTIONS ARE UP. Three of the moat Important questions aro now formally before tho world peace delegates at The Hague conference. One Is the exemption of private property from capture at sea, pro posed by the United States and championed In an altrulatlo manner by this country. Another proposition Is the annual meeting of tho arbitration Judges of the peace court at Tho Hague as offered by Russia, and still another proposition by Germany to simplify and facilitate arbitration. It Is not at all Improbable that the congress will adopt all of theso after much discussion and some modification. Tho limitation of armament, the abolition of the contraband of war and the formal declaration of war before actual hostilities It appears will not meet with the necessary approval. It Is gratifying that the delegates at Tho Hague agree In regarding arbitration as the most Important question before them. It Is also grati fying to note tho desire so to elevate and strengthen this International court as to make It ao Influential and Impartial that It would command uni versal confidence, and thla Is believed to be general. It Is to be hoped that arbitration hereafter will be the ordinary course for disputants. The reports from the conference Indicate that arbitration will no longer mean tbo “splitting of differences,’’ compromise and concession, and attempts to pleaso both parties to a dispute. It appears that.the delegates have realised that we need sub stitution of Judicial action for diplomatic aotlon, of the Judicial sense of responsibility for tho diplomatic sense of responsibility. It Is to be earnestly hoped that tho congress may materially advance tho right and proper solution of It and remove the moat formidable obsta cle In the way of arbitration.

A Joint court house and city hall will be erected In Atlanta, If the suggestion of Mayor Joyner and the favorable ac tion of the city council Monday after noon meet with the approval of the county commlsilonera. A resolution was offered by Council man Longlno, providing for the ap pointment of a committee to confer Wedneaday with the county commts- alonere relative to the building of the city hall and court house In one struc ture, and the resolution was adopted without a dissenting voice. The following will compose the com mittee; Mayor Joyner. Coundlmen Longlno, Hancock, Martin and Pomeroy and Alderman Peters. The commissioners have already de cided that a new court house for Fulton county shall be erected. There Is even greater need for a new city hall. The present structure has been an eyesore n Atlanta for years and years, befog not only unsightly, but so crowded and free from comforts that when promi nent visitors come to Atlanta It Is the usual custom to steer them sway from the building. Memphis Is now building a combina tion city hall and court house which will cost $1,000,000. The communication from the mayor on this question sets forth the situa tion. It Is as follows; Mayor's Reosmmendatlon. Atlanta, Oi, July 1, 190T. To the General Council of the City of Atlanta; Gentlemen:—I have noticed a move- ment Is now on foot for the county to construct a new court house building. It occure to me perhaps this Is an op. portunlty for the city to Join hando with the county and construct a build ing that would be suitable for both a city hall and county offices. I, therefore, recommend to your hon orable body that you appoint a com. mlttee with Instructions to go before the commissioners of roads and reve nue during the meeting of next Wed nesday for the purpose of ascertaining If a movement of this kind can be In augurated. ft Is unnecessary to say anything about the needs of a now city hall In Atlanta. Every one who comes Into the building Is well aware of the Inade quacy of the present building. The Im provements that have been made on the ilrst floor are merely temporary, and It will be only a year or two before It will be practically Impossible to trans act any business with comfort In the present city hall. While I do not know that the coun- y commissioners will be willing to Join he city council In erecting a Joint building, It seems to me that It would be well to Investigate the matter and find out what can bo done.

Murdered Man Found in Flat Hon. Seaborn Wright, ot Floyd coun ty, has two new bills on municipal ownership, which are ot Interest those who have studied that Important question. They wilt be referred proper committees as soon as Speaker Slaton has announced his appointments. One of the blits provides that cities of this state shall have the right to pur chase or erect, own and operate their own gas and electric plants, telephone lines and other public utilities when ever they so desire, without ths neces sity of applying to the legislature for a charter amendment. In substance, this bill la as follows: "That any city or town In the state may, In accordance with the provi sions of this act, construct or purchase, maintain and operate within the limits thereof, plants for the manufacture or distribution of gas or electricity, to furnish light, heat or power for munici pal purposes, or for sale to the resi dents of such city or town, or to people who live In contiguous territory there unto. Or they may construct or pur chase, maintain and operate a tele phone exchange or waterworka system for municipal purposes, and-, to sell water or telephone service to the In habitants of such city or town or the people who live In territory contigu ous thereto. Such plants may Include suitable lands, structures and machlm ery for manufacturing, using and die- trlbutlng gas, electricity, water or tele, phone service." The other measure gives the cities of this state authority to exercise the earns control over the rates to ba charged by public utility corporations operating within their limits, as Is ex ercised by'the state over similar cor porations. The bill Is as follows: Municipal Plants, Be It enacted by the general assembly of the state ot Georgia: Section 1.
