[From Sou il ic i II Cultivator.] All throughout the South aro to bo found thousands and thousands of lands which have been so badly abused and neglected, that we may properly oall theBo places "wasto places." Tho land is BO run down that it will not produco any crop to profit, and in many places is BO washed that it will not cover itself with any kind of growth. Bald, naked, unsightly, gullred, theso plaoes disfigure the entire landsoapo where they are found. These are found particularly abundant around the towns and oities, and they great ly detract from the beauty of such places. People from abroad coming South looking for homes aro greatly surprised' to find theso unsightly Boones. They have heard and read so much of the "Sunny South" and its wonderful possibilities that they come hero expecting to find a land all covered with green. Hut when thoy behold tho land so poorly cared for and so neglected, they often de cide that they do not care to live in such a country. Tako tho city of Atlanta for ex ample, and within a radius of ten milcB, striko a cirolo around tho city, and you will fi id hundreds of thou sands of these waste acres. They belong to rich men who are engaged in other business and do not care to look after the land, or to corpora tions and speculators. But they con tinuo to lie here from year to year, exposed to tho rains and washing worse nod worse. Now to a stranger who is bunting a home here, these places arc not only an eyesore, but a downright and unanswerable argu ment against the fertility of our soil. They injure tho reputation of the city and section, and prevent thou sands of persona from settling hero who would bring both brains and capital. All theso places could bo utilized, and that without any real cost to the ownons. If they were thoroughly broken with good two-horse plows, and seeded in any perennial grass or annual grain crops, tho crops would pay tho cost of all such work, and moro. Thc washing would be stopped, gullies would bo destroyed, the gaping hillsides would be cov ered with crops of beautiful verdure. The verdant landscape would wear a perennial smile which would at tract and please tho oyo of tho be holder. If the owners do not wish to do this work, having neither taste, time nor talent for it, it would he greatly to their advantage to ren these lands at a nominal price, or entirely free, to parties who would do tho work. And there are thous ands of such parties in Atlanta, eking out an existence, hunting jobs from day to day, who would be glad to cultivate these waste placea. All thoy need is a little encouragement and a start. The owners would be clearly bene fited by tho improvement to the land under such method of treatment. Tho land, if they should wish to Bell, would sell for much more with grow ing crops than with a crop of gullies. Suoh a course would not only beau tify tho approaches to Atlanta and Nobility Recommends Nervine. The above portrait is that of Countess Mogclstud, of Chica go, 111., whose gratitude for the benefit receiveo /rom the use of Dr. Miles' Nervine prompted her to make this statement: "It affords me great pleasure to add my testimony to the very excellent merits of Dr. Miles' Nervine. Although I am past 80 years of nee I find it soothes thc tired brain, quiets the irri tated nerves and insures restful sleep. I never feet contented without a bottle of it in the house." Gratefully yours, CBSISTIANA MARIA, Countess Mogclstud. M?W Nervine is a nerve tonic and strength builder that starts right in re storing health immediately. ?old hr sill Drosslet?. Dr. Miles Mcdleal Co., Elkhart, Ind. ?i I J t. 11 m '. . the surrounding landscape, bat would really increase the value of the real estate in the city itself. All the produce would find a ready sale in the city. Many a man would be kept usefully employed who is now an idler. Such a carpet of living green spread around the city would be an advertisement better than any now used. The benefit in this direotion would be so great that it would pay the city authorities and business men to see that this is done, evon if it had to be inaugurated at public expense. - After a few years of suoh work . Atlanta would be known, not I only as the "enterprising oity of the Sooth ;" not only as the "healthy city of the South,'' but as the oity I beautiful for situation, lovely to be hold, and a joy forever to be looked upon. It would be said of it, as of Jerusalem of old, "Beautiful for situ ation is the city" of Atlanta, queen oity of Southern enterprise. All that we have said of Atlanta and surroundings is more or IOBS true of every ci*y and town in the South, oxcept a fen' on the seashore. It is, not only true of the oities and towna, but applies also to many of the farms. All throughout the country these waste places are to be found ; and tboy are a great injury to the reputation.of tho South. They can and should be destroyed. They should be mado to grow' grass, if nothing more. Put them in Bermuda, if you can do no hotter, and let them furnish grazing for tho cattle that should be seen browsing upon a thousand hills. A little time, a little thought, a little work spont in this direction will pay largo ro turns in the near future to ourselves and our postority. Remove theso unsightly scene?, these battle-scars that testify to the victory of ignor ance, theso testimonies to our un thrift ! "Make tho desert to smile and tho waste places to rejoice." lion. J. M. Griggs, of Georgia, chairman of the Democratic Con gressional campaign committee, feels very sure that the Democrats will have a majority in tho next house. He has recently visited tho New England States and his prediction is baaed on information gained from tho whole country. There seems to bo a determination on the part of the coal minors and operators alike to make a iipht to a finish of tho calamitous strike now ander way. And tho pity of the situation is that tho public, tho great est sufferer, has absolutely no voice in the matter.

Finance* In Bail Cond???. _/ Columbia, September 22.-The fact baa already been referred to that the State's finances are in auoh a condition tbat extreme economy will have to be praotioed by the next Legislature, and even with that further investigation into conditions ahow that there will have to bo au inoreased levy or a reduotion in expenses somewhere if ends are made to meet. Tho total appropriations last year, in rouud numbers, amounted to *1,180.000. On a ?evy of 6 mills it is ex pected that $950,000 will be produced. The other revenue will be about $25,000 from insurance and about .v*,ooo from fees from the Secretary of State's office, which is a large falling off compared with the previous year, when the fees amounted to about $40,000. This is ex plained by the fact that last year there was an extraordinary large number of new enterprises with new capital stocks. While the number is equally as largo this year the total amount invested does not tome up to what it did previously. The total revenue of the State thon will be in the neighborhood of $088,000, mak ing a d?ficit of $158,000. To this must be added several other sums, as certain small appropriations, such as interest on old ltonds, etc, that were made year bo fore last and which are payable out of this year's receipts. Under these cir cumstances Treasurer Jennings finds that he will be oompelled to borrow tbe full amount allowed by law, $800,000. Last year he bad only to borrow $140,000, some of which must oe paid back by this year's taxes. The cash balance in tho treasury year before last was $105,000 and t he last year $09,000. Thus it will be soon that the nuances of the State have beon gradually going backwards, until now it comos to bo a question whether the levy shall bo inoreased or not. It will be a hard matter to Hod any particular place where oxpenses may bo cut down, unless there is a general cut down all around. There is one bopoful feature about it, that t hore have hereto fore boen some extraordinary exponBos, which will not be necessary this year, and these wore suob as Stato Blouse ap propriation, exposition appropriations and the liko. The inoreased pension appropriation will undoubtedly stand, as thore is no ohance of a baokward stop being taken in that direction. Viewiug tho situation in tho best light ho can Treasurer Jennings eau seo nothing favorablo lu the outlook, aud the Legis lature will have the most serious pro blem that has confronted that body in Sears to solve in a roannor satisfactory > all the interests involved. Bank Blown to Pieces. A Shagway special of SepUuber 17 to the Seattle (Washington) Times, Bays: About 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon an unknowu young man walked into. the Canadian Bank of Commerce, a revolver in ope hand and a dynamite bomb in tho other and demanded $20,000, threatening to blow all into eternity. Cashier Pooley and Teller Wallace were tho only two mon in the bank. Wallace ducked to got bis guu and ran quiokly to tho back of the room, calling for Pooley to do the same. "No, you don't" yelled the man, dropping tho bomb. Tho clerks had tust gotten out of thc window. Tho >ank was wreoked. The robber's bead was smashed and ono arm was torn off. People living above tho bank wore blown into the air. J. G. Price, formerly prose cuting attorney, who was entering tho bank at tho time, was hurt, but not seri ously. The dynamiter died without re gaining consciousness. Tho bank lost about a thousand dollars, chiefly in gold dust which was lying on tho counter. Silk Mill for Atlanta. Atlanta, September' 20.-Tho culturo and manufacturo of silk in Georgia, which was introduced tho past spring near Tallulah Falls, is to result in tho establishment in Atlanta of a big mod ern plant to cost sovoral hundred thou sand dollars. The Bilk industry is being introduced by the Sori-Culturo and Manufacturing Company, capitalized at $250,000. An application for a charter for tho concern was flied in tho office of Clerk Arnold Broyles, of the Superior Court. The right is asked to inoreaso the capital stock to not moro than $1,000,000, and tho company proposes to expend this sum in raising and manufacturing silk in Georgia. Tho iucorporators aro Louis B. Magid, of 11 aboi sham county, and W. R. Sweot, of Rabun county. Tho object of ibo company is to produce tho raw material and to build plants in sovoral different .sections of tho state for its manufacturo. Tho entorpriio is backed by English capi tal. Kansas Farmers Circumvent the Trusts. Topoka, Kansas, September 20.-Owing to tho high pi ?ec of coal many Kausas farmers will again burn corn this winter. Corn will bo plentiful and thero is an abundance of alfalfa and sorghum for food: so the corn can bo beat utilized for heating purposos. Hard coal is practi cally out of tho mark?t in Chicago, and soft coal, which usually rotails t here at less than $-1 a ton, has gono up to be tween $7 and $0. Tho rise is oxplainod on tho theory that tho bituminous corpo rations aro taking advantage of the situ ation to squeeze tho people. Agents of English coal companies, who have gono to New York to drum up orders for hard coal, say that tho strike in this country has bad the effect of stimulating mining in England to a dogreo not known in yoars. Tho general manager of tho Nowcastle-on-Tyno Colliery Company, who reached Now York on Saturday, makos tho statement that some 12,000,000 tons havo boon shipped to the United st at ea from British coal minos since tho st i ike. bogan, and orders have boen sont ovor for as much more. Boers Have Cost of War to Pay. London, Soptombor 21.-Tho Daily Mail this morning says tho government has decidod that the now South African oolonies aro to bo required to pay $500, 000,000 towards tho coBt of tho South Afrloan war. Tho oolonies aro, howovor, to bo allowed ample time in which to make this payment ; it will not be col lected until tho extension of trade and expansion of revenue permit. Conso quontly the loan will not be floated for two or throe yoars. Mining profits will probably bo taxed 10 per cent moro than they wore boforo the war and monoy will also be obtainod by granting all kinds of concessions and mineral rights.

While the shea ?it was plaoing haudouffs oh the prlsouors to tako thom from the Court room, they asked that tho exooution tako placo as soon as possible Weekly Cotton Crop Summary. Tho agricultural department's woekly crop summary has the following with reference to cotton : The very cool wea ther has oheokod tho opening of cotton in tho oentral and western portions of tho cotton region. Picking has, how ever, advanoed rapidly genorallv through out the belt, and as a rulo, under favora blo conditions, although pickers have been inadequate in some Staten. Over the southern portion of tho cotton bolt the bulk of the orop has been gathered, and ia somo sections many fields aro already abandoned.
