| ——— ts A the South was not making the most of its possibilities in cotton culture, and Bo proceeded to make a thorough study of “the most valuable plant the Sah has ever produced,” as he puts Yo Double the Cotton Crop. His effort has been to find a hybrid plant, between the long staple which is raised successfully only on the ooast and the less valuable upland coston, which oan be profitably pro- duced in Middle Georgia. By patient esporimentation, in co-operation with the Department of Agriculture, he has made meat progress In this direction and is gradually evolving a cotton plant which promises to bring a much higher average return than the far- mer has realized in the past. This Is the sort of work which few men have the patience to do, but which confers its benefits upon all when once ace romplished, It is a wonderful thing Ro lift an entire industry, and thus Ro elevate the standard of living for Rens of thousands of families—more wonderful, far, than building a rall- »oad or a cotton mill, as I have said. What he has done with live stock and cotton, Mr. Hunt has also done with fruit culture, He has taken the lead in planting orchards, and in dem- onstrating what warleties of peaches, apples and pears are best suited to the soil and climate and to the markets open to the Georgia farmers, He has done the same with grapes and ber ries, and thus again achieved results which have benefited other growers a8 much as himself. In the course of his studies he has visited the most famous fruit-growing and winepro- docing districts of the world, includ. ing those in California and in France, and has necessarily become a man of godence. In this way he has made the acquaintance of the foremost scien- tists of the world and on the occasion of Herbert Spencer's visit to the Unit- ed States he was the only man out- side the ranks of professional scien- tists invited to meet the world's greatest thinker. Incidentally, it may be mentioned that he is an enthusi- astiec collector of Indian antiquities, and that his search for rare speci mens has carried him all over the United States and Mexico, and even to distant islands of the Pacific. No Antagonism to Northern Men, Although it saying goes without and a better df osition of the com- forts of life. It would be ungracious to say that all this is due to the influence of men from the North, and it would be un- true as well as ungracious; but it is nevertheless a fact that the ideas which dominated in the old days were not adapted to the best use of Southern resources and opportunities for development, ang that these old ideas had to surrender to new and better plans and methods before the South which is now rapidly deveiop- ing could be possible, One of the strongest forces in the new movement is the stream of Northern blood and capital which has flowed into the beautiful Southern land since the days of reconstruction. And I repeat, because it cannot be sald with too much emphasis, that Georgia knows this, appreciates it, and wants more of it These are facts which may be prop erly taken into consideration by North ern people who are looking for homes They are quite as important as soil, climate and markets. In this connec tion, I am tempted to make a final quotation from Mr, Hunt, because n has an important bearing upon social life of the region and is di tion, dent in the brain of the white man, North or South, be he Catholic, Prot estant or Quaker, finds expression in social culture. South, finds so much greater inherent civilization, in the white race, against inheremt barbarism in the black race, that the caste sent! ment justifies {itself in dividing the white from the black. Hence, there exists fuller democracy among all white people in the South than else where. Here, minor social differences are annulled by the one great caste distinetion. This condition gives freer play to altruistic social usage among the white people here than In other parts of our country.” mt II —————————— ““Isben’’ Loved Liberty.

The trouble comes be tween 7:30 a. m. and 9:00 a. m., when thousands from all directions within a radius of 35 miles of the borough of Manhattan are rushing toward the downtown section of the city (below Twenty-third street), and again be tween 5:00 p. m. and 6:00 p. m., when the same thousands are struggling back to their homes, By far the greater portion of New York's business is transacied below Twenty-third street, on an area having & maximum length of three miles and a maximum width of two miles.

And It is vastly table to the native stock that they iterprising men from nortl Mason and Dixon's n o par ) Are rit life we ue f of Line and glory in thelr hievements less proud of the new- comer than of the old-timer they cer tainly conceal the fact The truth seems to be that the whole community is permeated by the spirit of enter prise which these Northern men have brought, and It seems to be reflected in the bulldings, the stores, the ho- tels, and In the faces and bearing of the people themselves, The population of Atlanta and its immediate suburbs is now probably about 150,000 and is rapidly growing, ~—at least twice as rapidly as the pop ulation of the United States. But its tusiness, as evidenced by bank clear ings and postal receipts, Is growing much faster than Its population. This business Is largely in the form of manufacturing, although the whole sale trade Is also expanding to enor mous proportions. The growth of rallway, telegraph and telephone sys tems naturally keeps pace with trade, manufacture and population. All this requires constant activity in bullding operations and the employment of an increasing army of labor. In other words, Atlanta, and the great State of Georgia of which It is the metrop ells, are enjoying an era of extraor- fisary prosperity in If they are Selence Supplants Chance, This prosperity is due In large part to the extent and value of natural re sources, but it is also largely due to the new methods which have been in- troduced in recent years, Beginning with the farmer and going on through the line of industrial factors men are working in the light of sclence in. stead of depending on chance, What Mr, Hunt has done In connection with live stock, cotton culture and fruit growing, everybody Is doing to some extent. They are petting the ald of State and National Governments, and thas asserting their control over the forees of nature In a way which ap Log Rd to perfection. le means lose waste, wore elclency sweet for its base and the Battery for climbers to secure the pet bird afforded ideable ex- hun of t that the mistress fered a large reward spurred over a score litions of life to cap AMUSE ft and con citement t hf vd of on-lookers. The fac of the for his safe retu of men of all con ture the feathered truant Polly, escaping from his cage, made a beeline for one of the 3 near the Treasury Departn building, and sat there looking around, a gorgeous bit of green and red. The fun commenced when a rather corpulent individual es- sayed to climb the tree and secure the bird. “Isben” is an accomplished talker, and as he flew to the next tree he called out very distinctly “nay! nay!” A colored youth climbed tree number two, and, after nearly breaking his neck through the rotteness of a limb, succeded In getting within about two feet of “Isben.” “Put salt on his tall” sald a wag in the crowd, The youth showed his apti- tude for golng after birds that roosted high, such, for instance, as chickens, but he was not used to the flying kind, and just as he “reached” for “lsben™ the bird flew up to the top of a tall telegraph pole. At this point there sal. led forth Walter Perry, who claims to be the best coon hunter in Alabama, and scrambled up the pole in record time. Then with a stout wire, crooked at the end, he hooked Poll's leg, and a vast fluttering ensued, with a yell of triumph from Walter. The crowd treds i 4 bird had rr tres cheered, but “Isben” had apparently | been Iariated before, for he quickly dis- | engaged himself and with a cheerful hee haw! flew away about a block and alighted in a large cottonwod tree. “Send for Santos Dumont and his airship,” piped up one of the crowd; then a telegraph messenger boy, three or four colored men, a Jacktar from the Navy Yard, and a college athlete climbed trees and poles to secure the reward. ‘The parrot kept up a more or less eontinuous conversation with his would-be eaptors, but it was noticed that his remarks were of a quite proper nature, “hot air” being the most ob jectionable, After flying around sightseeing for an hour or so, “Isben” flew into a tree near a police station “Isben.” when last seen, was roost ing In the branches of a big elm tree, apparently asleep, One old and very darkey remarked, confidentially, to a companion, “'Lijah, when It gits real dark, I sure will ketch dat bird, ‘case | argues parrot or whatsoever, can see A a ob wy colop ogre susertark night us very pointed apex, there are hun. dreds of bulldings housing over 5,000 people each during the working hours.
