Wealth in Georgia Lands.
The man who owns a Georgia
farm of 200 acres or more, today,!
is the man to be envied, for lands ’
are at a premium and rapidly go¬
ing higher. For many years fol¬
lowing the late war many of our
people were land poor and unfor¬
tunately, in not a few instances,
the greater number of acres one
owned the poorer he was, because
it meant high taxes, heavy mort- j
gages and ruinous interest rates.
Now the situation is changed.
Very little of the land in the
south is listed for taxation at
more than half its market value,
the rate.s of interest have gone
down, tho mortgage has been
lifted, and Georgia lands today
are in great demand.
The high price of cotton dur¬
ing the past season has removed
practically all the incumbrances
upon the agricultural lands in
south Georgia and made the own¬
ers independent and prosperous
while timber lands have soared to
prices that were considered im¬
possible five years ago. With’
these improvements in his condi¬
tion and surroundings the Geor¬
gia farmer today looks to be a
different man from what he was
even a year ago.
Improvements are going up on
every hand, and the farm is be¬
ing made more like a home than
had been the case under the hard
conditions that formerly prevail¬
ed.
Heretofore, however much the
farmer may have wished to pro¬
duce much of his living supplies
at home he was debarred from
doing so by the necessities of the
situation with which he was sur¬
rounded. All his energies weie
taxed to the limit to culiivate the
number of acres required as a
condition precedent to getting the
necessary supplies to enable his
family to live while the crop was
being made.
He is now independent of the
store an I of the commission mer¬
chant. He is putting out money
at interest and investing in en¬
terprises designed to build up'the
community in which he lives.
And during all this while his
lands which heretofore were a
drug upon the market, are doub¬
ling and trebling and quadrup¬
ling in value all the while he cul
tivates them. The farmers have
got the speculators and manu
facturers of the whole earth
“coming across,” to him, as the
boys say, and all he has to do
now, is to act sensibly and within
reasonable limits, the “world is
his.”- AmericusTimes-'Recorder.
Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.
Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease
for anyone to attempt to doctor himself,
although he may have the projx'r reme¬
dies at hand. A physician should always
)>e. called. It should be borne in mind,
however, that pneumonia always results
from a cold or from an attack of cold or
from an attack of the grip, and that by
giving Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy the
threatened attack of pneumonia may be
warded off. This remedy is also used by
physicians in the treatment of pneumo¬
nia with the best results. Br. W. J.
Smith, of Sanders, Ala., wlio is also a
druggist, says of it: “I have been sell¬
ing Chamberlain’s Cougli Remedy and
prescribing it in my practice for the past
six years. I use it in cases of pneu¬
monia and have always gotten the best
results. ’ ’ Sold by Lewis Brug Company.

A Fair Prophecy.
!n his article on “The Future
of Cotton,” in a recent issue of
the Manufacturer’s Record, Hon.
Martin V. Calvin departs from
the traditional Southern view
which The Telegraph has labor
el so earnestly to combat. Those
who claim to have ascertained the
the real fact by investigation pos¬
itively assert that more than half
of the cotton of this country is al
ready produced t>y white labor
yet the average Southerner still
seems to be the victim of the
antiquated notion that white men
are unfitted for agricultural pur¬
suits in the cotton belt.
Not so Mr. Calvin. “At the
opening of the New Year,” ho
says, “hundreds of young white
men in Georgia ar.d in sister cot¬
ton states will glad-heartedly
lake up farming as a life-work.
With improved labor-saving farm
implements they prove them¬
selves masters of the situation.
All honor to these young gentle
men: they will enter the noblest,
gainful avocations in life. It is
an exploded idea that only the
negro can successfully cultivate
cotton. In North Georgia white
labor, in the face of a short sea¬
son, makes, with the aid of high
grade commercial fertilizers, a
higher average pet acre than is
made in the tegular cotton belt
of the state, where negro labor is
almost exclusively employed.”
Discussing the question as to
whether the cotton acreage of
1904-5 will be increased owing to
the better prices that prevail, he
answers no, and goes on to say :
“Why not? Because farmers
know they cannot get the neces¬
sary labor ar.d cannot rely upon
it if obtained. They date not
pitch a big crop, no matter how
entrancing 121 cent and 15 cent
eotton may appear. The crop of
1904-1905 will not exceed 10,000,
000 bales, if by any chance it
should reach that mark.. White
labor, gradually at first, then
rapidly, will displace negro labor
in the cotton, grain and grass
fields of the South.
Why are the negroes indispos¬
ed to work in the fields? Is it
because the wages offered are un¬
satisfactory or not promptly paid?
No. The negroes, the young¬
er element particularly, have de¬
termined to abandon work to a
very great extent. They are in
a transition state. In a few years
in my judgment, the bulk of the
negroes will have left the South
and this country,”
This is a fair prophecy. When
there are a thousand intelli¬
gent white farmers laboring with
their own hands in Georgia and
our neighboring states where now
there is one, the South will blos¬
som as the rose, and no develop¬
ment in manufacturing and min¬
ing, colossal as they are to be,
will rival her riches of the field.

CANDIDATES CaN’T TREAT.
Unique Bill Passed by South
Carolina Legislature.
Of all the peculiar bills that
have become laws by the general
assembly of South Carolina the
“anti-treating bill” is the most
pecuhar. There have been many
bills introduced that are, to say
the least, odd, but few of them
ever pass. This bill, however,
was brought over from last year,
and the author of it took
that it was not lost in the com¬
mittee rooms, was not laid on the
table, and lobbied among his per¬
sonal friends so that they sup¬
ported it more for personal
friendship than on account ot the
merits of the bill, It has passed
both houses, however, having
passed th ? senate last week, and
is only waiting the governor’s
signature to become a law.
The bill provides that anyone
a votev a drink witbm one
mi e 0 a V0 ^ In ® P 1 ecinct on an
election clay shall be imprison¬
ed on the county chuiugang for
30 days at hard labor. The bill
as passed by the house provided
for a tine of $100 or imprison'
ment at hard labor, but the sen¬
ate struck out that part relating
to the fine

Valuable Food Crops.
One by one the valuable food
crops are gaining recognition in
the South. The once despised
grOundpea is fast coming to the
front, and there are abundant in¬
dication that in the not distant
future it will have a commercial
importance as a food crop not
now dreamed of by most persons.
Cassava, sorghum, sugar cane
and other crops long neglected
j | but having wonderful possibili¬
ties are gradually but steadily
gaining recognition and are des¬
tined to play an important part
in the future growth of the sec¬
tion.— Albany Herald.
