The Cook-Peary controversy will
probably bo H<’ttl<-«1 by a corn mis
sion of inquiry appointed by Dr. Ira
Remsen. The commission will ex
mine and report on the Arctic re
cords, observations, and data collect
ed by both explorers.
Kven an optimist may be inclined
to doubt that the world is getting
better when the front page of a morn
Ing paper stares him in tin- face with
its startling headlines of crime and
misery. Hut he soon recovers his t
balance when he reflects that all
this news Is gathered from far and
near, and that far outweighing it,,
though unrecorded, arc the thrifty,
industrious, honest and true lives of
the great majority of people in
well nigh every community, and
whose homes are marked by love,
contentment and happiness. While
no one may overlook the existence
of gigantic wrongs and evils, yet day
by day virtue and righteousness grow
in power and influence and the world
is getting better.
In the first nine months of the
present calendar year $21,000,000
worth of cotton mill equipment, has
been added in the South, embracing
834,428 spindles and 16,488 looms.
These additions, says the Manufact
urers' Record, were largely made in
existing mills, although a conslderablt
number of new mills are in course of
construction. When old mills In the
South strive to Increase their 4ca
paclty and profit earning power new
mills will be built, for the course of
the mills shows there is profit to
be found in the spinning and weav
ing of the staple. The Southern
mills possess unmistakable advanta
ges over either the New England
mill or tlie foreign mill and the time
will surely come when the greater
part of the American crop will be
spun amid the cotton fields, and the
foreign mills will get their material
in the shape of yarns.
Mr. James J. Hill says that if he
could have his way he would build
one battleship less every year and
devote the money thus saved to
teaching scientific agriculture. He
would establish agricultural experi
ment stations in the various sections
of the country to show the people
the possibilities of intensive farm
Ing, how much corn, wheat, cotton
and other crops can be grown on ten
acres of ground. Mr. Hill argues
that the farmers of the United States
are not producing as much per acre
as they should, or as their farms
will produce if properly cultivated.
He urges the farmers to pay closer
attention to their soil and to get ev
erything out of it possible. In that
direction, he believes, lies the future
welfare of the nation.—Chattanooga

A Comet Coming.
Halley's comet, which has for
centuries been visiting the earth
about evary 76 years, and which ap
peared last in 1835, is now coming
into view, so astronomers say. at
the rate of one million miles per
day. The comet is now visible by th«
aid of large telescoites. and has been
photographed at several observato
ries. It will be visible to unaided
eyes about the middle of next April,
and will pass between our planet
and the sun about June 10. 1910.

Growing Corn In the South.
There is room for hope that the
cotton belt will yet grow its own
corn. A rivalry between the United
States Goverment system as prac
ticed on the demonstration farms
and the Williamson system has
sprung up, and there is room for
hope In the new rivalry. Each sys- ,
tern is a vast Improvement over the
system of shallow ploughing and slov
only cultivation, and the adoption of
either should be a matter of congrat
ulation says the Birmingham Age-
Hearld.
Every State in the cotton belt
should tak< steps to extend with all
possible rapidity the one system or
the other. Corn dubs are being
formed in many counties, and in
these counties progressive farmers
are being induced to take half an
acre of land, or even an acre, and to
grow corn on it according to the
one or the other system. Any meth
od is better than the present old- ,
time rm-thod, which affords an aver- ,
age yield per race of less than f if- |
teen bushels. S"ch a yield lacks
economy. Such a yield is discour- ■
, aging. The corn club boys are pro- i
ducing on an acre from sixty to
eighty bushels. Either system fully ‘
carried out will work a wonderful
change. And if the South is to grow ,
its own corn, thus keeping at home
its cotton money, it is plain it will
come about through improved culti
vation either under the Government
plan or the Williamson plan.
Tuesdays' Elections.

McLendon wins in his
fight against gray.
Atlanta, (la.—S. <l. McLendon won
his quo warranto proceedings
■ against Joseph F. Gray in Savannah
, I Tuesday morning.
Judge Charlton handed down a de
cision Tuesday morning, according
Jto advices from Savannah, in favor
!of the deposed former chairman of
the railroad commission. This means'
that the Savannah judge upholds Me- ,
London’s claim to tile office.
News of the decision spread over
the < apitol rapidly, and was heard
with much surprise. Many thought
that the decision would favor the Sa
vannah man. Joseph Gray, appointed 1
by Governor Brown to succeed Mc-
Lendon.
I The case will, of course, now come 1
to the Supreme court for final jttdge-
• ment, it being known that this would
be the course which ever side won.
Judge Charlton's opinion is a very
lengthy one.
I An appeal will be taken by Mr. I
Gray to the Supreme court within I
ten days. I

The power of the country press in <
promoting good citizenship and there 1
by forming the true American charae I
ter is far greater than many people
imagine and is vastly superior to;
that of the press in large cities. ■
There are reasons for this. The
large city daily is but skimmed
while the country paper is read.
The moral tone of the country press <
is also higher, as a rule, than that
of the city press, and takes more
positive and advanced ground on i
ethical questions. Then, too, its
constituency is more reliable,
thoughtful and responsive.—Ex. ’

REMEDY WORSE
THAN THE DISEASE.
The acts of the last grand jury
in estimating the value of the prop
erty of the citizens of the county
have exemplified that old theory of
the. pendulum. If it swings too far
i one way it is just bo sure to:
swing too far in reverse motion.
• believe as a whole we were under
estimating values not so much know
ingly as unwittingly. But in my
judgement the present estimate is
. excessive and burdensome. I know I
l of a number of estimates, where
from one-fifth to one-sixth of in- '
comes would have to go to pay
taxes. In my individaul case the es- .
timate placed upon my property would,
require at the present rate of taxa
j tion one-sixth of my gross income of,
■ a propitious year and of an unpropi
i tious year, like the present, it would .
' take every fourth dollar to go for I ,
taxes. This does not take into con
sideration the supplies made and con
\ sumed at home, but money made
from sales of products .
| Now I don’t know how other peo
ple would view matters and figures
of this sort but it readily appears
|to me excessive and burdensome.l
In my judgement taxes should never
> exceed one tenth of a man’s income.
While I know this position is open
to argument and could not be used
,as a fixed rule because some men
would make twice as much as others
ingaged in the same occupation, but
I speak In a general way and to
show the inadequacy of such a
system. I don’t think the last grand
jury would wish to impose hardships
upon any one. But nevertheless, its j
true that no grand jury can enter
into an investigation of this kind
and in two or three days scrutinize
the return of the property of every
man in the county; correct and put
, proper estimates upon same, and
that too in hundreds of cases where
1 none of the grand jury ever saw
1 or was upon the property of the
owners. It won't do to be govern
ed by what a man gave for a piece
of property or what he has been of
fered for the same, as I understand
the last grand jury did in a number
of instances. To do so would be to
say all men were infallible upon
such matters. I have known men
to give twice and thribble the real
value of a piece of property know
ingly, because it suited them and
refuse as much for the same reason.
The system is all wrong and should
be abolished. It is full of errors
and arbitrary in its nature. It re
. quires the entire year to intelligently
get at property values and If neces
. sary should be done by equalizers
t and parties owning property should
r be cited to appear and be heard from
1 and proceed Intelligently in' the mat
ter, and not in this haphazard, two
I or three days way. In other words
. it is a too serious a matter to be
» gone over rapidly and guessed at.
3 This remedy is resorted to now fre
> | quently to correct two evils. One
. the under estimating of property,
' and the other the profligacy of the
state and counties. But the remedy
is worse than the disease. It re
minds me of the Irishman who had
a severe case of sickness and only
by heavy administration of calomel
I could the doctor put him upon his
feet again. One day the doctor made
’I him a visit and found him up and
I walking almost as well as ever. So!
1 he remarked, “Hey, Pat, are you
1 well?" -Pat hesitated a moment and
' said, “Yes, doctor I’m well of the
' i disease but down with the Calomels."
That grand jury may have cured us
of the disease but they have given
us a bad case of the calomels, dead
sure.
