THE GEORGIA EXAMPLE.
to commenting recently upon tbu notable compliment paid to Geor
gians by tbe great agricultural organization lu choosing their leading offl-
cers from this state. Tbe Georgian expressed It* high appreciation of the
honor, and extended Its felicitations to Maasra. Barren and Jordan and
Duckworth and Johnson and Walker—tbe distinguished farmers who
had merited and received these signal honors.
It may be said further that this high tribute was uol due more to
rite merit of *the' Individual thgn to lhi- pragma and agricultural develop-
menl of the stale.
In no oae department—not even In mining and manufactures—has
. Georgia advaoced more nobly within these two dacades than In tbe meth
ods and achlerementa of agriculture.
For a long period after the civil war tha while man. demoralised and
dleeouraaed Uy the abolition of negro slavery, gathered tn the towns
and cities and left tbe farming lands of tbe South to negro lenaots and
to a rlasa of white men utterly unskilled In practical farming.
Tbe Bouthern fields and farm* were da beached sad literallyorapsd
by this era of Ignoreure' and Inexperience, aod for many years there
were no iioorer nod more hopeless folk In all this struggling section than
tbe farmers of tbe South. Under tbla regime values went swiftly down,
and lands that told for ftoo an acre in 18*0. fell to gv aa acre lu 1174, and
fertile farms lull to barren wastes lu tbe bands of tbe helpless who held
them. <
Be It said to her honor that South Carolina was firel if Southern
State* to realize tbe absolute necessity of redeeming tbe (arms by agri
cultural education and Intelligent tenant* to till the lands. And Cara'.tna
reaped tbe flrat fruits of this discretion.
Georgia haa followed so fast upon her stater alate that aha has now
outstripped Carolina, and stands well-nigh among Ihe first of all Southern
commonweal!ha in Ihe Intelligence and success of her agricultural eye-
tern.
Among all the stales of the Roulh. Georgia has seemed heat to rec
ognize the rich possibilities and the absolute necessities that agriculture
holds to the solid prosperity of the South, and Georgia's recent magnifi
cent liberality In establishing an agricultural school tn each of the elBven
congressional districts of the stale haa set an example which baa been
enthusiastically commended and will doubtless be speedily adopted by
other slates ol this section.
Georgia has not done a wiser ihlng lu years than the establishment
ol these Institutions set to tbe training or the farmers of the future, and
R»pr«^.ni«ljl»e_Perfy nf tlie author nf thla legislation, has done the
state a service and we know and will remember It.
It has given tbe elate a high repute for wisdom nnd progress among
other states. It Is due In part to the splendid spirit of Interest which
our notable farmers and cotton men have created, and In turn It has ele
vated these brainy and faithful representatives of our Georgia agricultural
Interests to some ot the highest and most responsible stations of dignity
and distinction which the times afford^ : • --

Tbu problem of woman and tbe problem of tbe negro are Identical with that of

but In woman tbere still exists a mighty feeling of not Mug capable of auylblug
else aa a last miserable trace of an IntelUgihiu freedom, probably because an abeoHHu
woman does not exist. Woman la human and muat be treated as human, even though
sbu never wants to. Woman and man have the same rights.
• Thla dooa not mean, however, that one muat grant woman political rights. From
a utilitarian standpoint this la not advisable, at least not for some time, ami per
haps never. In New Zealand, where reaped of Nm* ethical principle baa led to the
granting of woman's suffrage, experience baa proven tbla unwise., Just aa we do uot

wealth. even should they become a majority, we muat keep woman from Influencing

NOTES THE FAIRNESS
OF THE GEORGIAN
TAKE OARE OF THE MOTHERS.
Ill tbe largq Hat of Atlanta's charities, there la nothing nobler or more
appealing than the Old Womau'a Home.
Time and again we have made our appeals for thla splendid inatltu*
tton and we ■bilt nftVer grow r weaTy lri tho etfort to aee it prosper and en
large to the measure of all Us opportunities and Its demands. The Gor
don Circle or King's Daughters attritions haa held It under Ita especial
charge from the beginning and the work which it has done haa been he
roic aa It has been unaelflab.
It In attnplv superb the devotion which Mrs. PurleTT and lira. Parley
and others hare given to thli noble work, for be It understood that
among all the Institutions which' appeal to men. no one could have a
higher wad nobler claim than that which care* for awl—imHecfi thV'
mothers of the race—aged, venerable and apeut. graydtalred in the most
heroic service poaulhle to our country, and deserving of all that heart
and health and prosperity can do for those who have been the mothers
and Inspiration of the present generation.
The Old Woman's Home Is now at the crista of Its history. It needs
another home, aod a larger home and one further removed from the roar
and buttle of a busy street. Rvery man who has a mother und every
man who has lost one will fed the Impulse to do hts part to help this
noble charity.
The city government will meet the approval of every citizen in any
appropriation It might make for the Old Woman's Hume, and beyond the
