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 News. 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. Elections held this week show that Massachusetts and Rhode Is land have elected Republican gov ernors and Virginia a Dcmocratt gov- i ernor. Judge Gaynor was elected ' Mayor of Greater' New York by a plurality of 70,000. The feudists are on the firing line In Kentucky; one num was killed during the voting in Breathitt coun ty on Tuesday last, and on the same day at Jellico, Tenn., one man was killed and several others were wound ed.

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.

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. I J. V. W. I A Religious Atuhor’s Statement i Rev. Joseph H.
