AS TO STREETS.
We are glad (o see thai our cotemporarv,
the Observer, is in favor of
improving I lie streets, )>n t we do not
six* how it is going to he done unless
some money is ypciit on it. and the
spending of money in psiteh * ork is
simply a waste of the puhlie funds.
We Imve heen advocating I lie paving'
<d' the section of street from Friend
to the puhlie square for the reason
it is a small and narrow section and
is traveled by nearly everybody who
coiiics lo town and who lives in town,
and for the additional reason that it
could be done at a comparatively
small expense ami would give everybody
au opportunity !<> see what a
nicely paved st reel is. We did riot expeel
that the work would slop with |
this section of street, but that it |
would I>c extended |o other streets as I
rapidly as possible. Certainly "there ('
is no more reason why the tax p\j- j ]
ei's should pay for fixing Caldwell |
si reel between .Main and Friend than
Ihev should fix Main from Caldwell
to Adams or lioyce from Caldwell to
Adams, or other sections that might .
lie named.''
What we want is lo see city council
si a rl somewhere. It is impossible for .
the cilv of course to pave all of the
i ? (
streets al one time, and any sectionwhich
is paved would he of benefit, '
not only to the property owners
along I he sect ion, bul to the city at
la rue. bni if we wait until we
pave all the streets at the same time, i*
nothing will ever be done. We do not |
endorse the statement of our conlein-j'
porary, that "the chief benefit of j
improvement will be realized by the
owners of the contiguous properly.
The benefit lo the tax payer at large
would lie only remote, in most cases, |
very remote."
We regret thai \>nr contemporary j
takes such a narrow view ol si reel
improvement. and if lll^al view is
carried out. we will never have any
streets improved. As a matter ol (act
the improvement of any street in any
part of the business section of the
city, especially, will be ol benefit to
all the citizens. The people who own
contiguous property do 'not use the
streets any more* than those who do
not i wn such property.
One reoson Ibis particular seel ion
of Caldwell si reel has been mentioned
is thai I he properly owners, ii was
understood, agreed to pay lor the I
material if the city would do the work, j
We do not see any special reason j
why they should be called upon to do |
this, but we are perfectly willing to
any proposition that will give us e\- |
en a small section ol nicely paved i
street, for we believe that it will lead
to more extensive work of this kind. |
We are willing for (he city to select
anv section ol street and make a beginning,
but it we wait lor them to
pave all the streets at the same time
and expect them to do it without
spending money, all our talk about
street improvements will amount to
nothing, because it is impossible to
pave all the streets at the same time
and equally .impossible to pave any
of them without spending money. It
Is equally true that the patch work,
which is now being done, is a waste j
of public funds, - j
>
We understand that quite a num-I
her of farmers in this section have I
sold their cotton crop in advance for
10 and 11 cents for future delivery.
We consider ibis very unwise because
V| will enable l he speculators to carry
out their contracts, and. as soon as
they net enough cotton to do thai, j
down will "jo the price. Iwery bale j
that the farmer now sells for ten or
eleven cents will have the tendency to
depress the price next fall. There is
scarcely any possibility ot a large
crop being made this year and the
farmers are assured of getting good
prices if they refuse to sell for tuturo
delivery. Therefore, don't make I uture
contracts and wait for the proper
time to sell your cotton in the tall.
Darlington News.
We have heard of farmers of other
sections doing the same thing as
stated by the News We agree with
the News that it is a great mistake
for the farmers to sell their cotton j
at 10 and 11 cents, and it will do
just what the News suggest?-per-|
mit the contractors and speculators
to make money at the expense of the
cotton grower. If the farmers would
.just stick to their organization, they
could very easily be masters of the
situation, but if any considerable
number of them should sell their cotton
for future delivery, it would place
them in an awkward situation in their j
effort to control the price next tail, j
4
or even to kee|> it at sucli ligure us
Id uliiko il profitable to them In grow
col Ion. We do not think any considerable
number of fanners in thisj
county have gone into any such plan.
The new administration in Georgia
seems to have the big stick lilted
against the railroads and all corporations.
We do not see the wisdom of
this. Railroads and corporations
should be controlled and regulated sol
as not to oppress any* other interest \
and when so regulated they are a help
to any state ami should be given fair
pla.v. hut when you sift the opposition
to railroads and corporations to
its last analysis it is usually a slogan
with which to get ollice.
Not only will a state prohibition
bill be introduced into the Georgia
Legislature bnl an even more radical
measure aimed at cigarettes is to 1.e
pushed. Prohibition of the manufacture
and sale of cigarettes and cigaridle
materials is not this bill's furthfst
reach; anybody caught puffing
rme of the paper-tobacco sticks is
made guilty of a misdemeanor. Now
let some one bring up a bill to prohibit
the manufacture and sale of fireirins
and ammunition of all sorts, especially
the buckshot so fatal to prominent
citizens, and Georgia will
liave a magnificent opportunity to
rote herself good?Charlotte Observer.
This proposed action of the Georair
legislature is only a sympton of
he times. The tendency in some
puvrters is to regulate everything by
aw, even to the conduct ot indiviluals.
Instead of this the effort
ihould be to train the young to walk
he path they should walk and the
norals they should observe and there
will nol be so much need of law. We |
ire trying to do by statute law that j
which should be done by training and j
ill these efforts to pass laws In
make people moral and temperate
w i 1 but have the tendency
|o cause evasions and require
special olliccrs to enforce and thus
create a spirit which look* upon
violation of all law as a mailer of
course and alright so as 1<?iiu tin*
violator can evade detection.
The effort should be made in the
home and in I he >chool l o inst il a
higher regard for riu'ht living and
riirlil action and those things which
go to make the ideal citizen and then
there will be no necessity for all these j
laws regulating the conduct of indi- \
viduals.
?" " . ,
h is thought that the fleorgia leg-'
Mature now in session will pass a
-liai'ilit slate prohibition measure;
and in .i i IV of those euua'J'ed ill the.
liiskev business are inauiug' ready to
close out. A great many counties in
(he state are now prohibition and others
have the county dispensary system.
? i
City council has gone to work on
the section of Caldwell street from
Krieiid to the public square, but sinipl\
patching it. If council would have
regard for the wishes of those of our
citi/o'ns who pay the taxes this street
and I he section from the public j
square to Adams street would be
paved and there would be no kicking
from any one. Then the work could
he extended, hut if permanent work
is not to be done on the streets because
the owners of contiguous properly
may be benefited or their prothen
we will never have any permanent
street paving done because
the start must be made somewhere,
and somebody will onw contiguous
property.
That is entirely too .mirow a view
to take of public improvements. Let

Philanthropy's Chance.
Peter Pcchin *in Southern Farm
Magazine of Baltimore for June:
Prevention rather than the fine of
social ills seems to be the aim of the
Russell Sage foundation. Willi its income
of $-!.*>(),000 a year for all time,
or at least until the bottom falls out
of something, it is in a position certainly
to check the growth of one of
the most burdensome social ills of the
day?sociology. That ill has been
growing in leaps and bound?, really
more rapidly than the forthcoming of
funds to support sociologists, and if
something is not done soon the whole
country will be one seething mass of
sociologism. It seems, however, that
the Sage Koumlationists are to devote
their funds and their energies
to the promotion of sociology, and
consequently lo I he support of sciologist.-.
Thai appalling fuel is lightened
b\ the l?ii of unconscious humor in i
(lie announcement that research work!
i- |o lie a very important feature of I
the gigantic undertaking of discover-]
ing how to spend i}?-l~>0,000 a vear in j
discovering the means for the elimination
of unhealthy conditions for s<>(i.'iy.
The real sociologist is the lasl
individual in the world to depend upon
research for material in furtherance
of any cause salarying him for
the time being. The average hc-isler,
pouring out his hysterics before women's
clubs or legislative bodic-. with
the galleries filled with creatures unaccustomed
to orderly thought or to
action based upon anything but emotion,
is in abject ignorance of or has
a sublime contempt for such limitations
upon his mouthings as a careful
assembling and weighing ?f all
! the facts bearing upon the opposition
before him, coiistsrvalism in expression
and recognition of the fact
that no social situation i- explainable
by a single item. Nevertheless, in
spite of the humor in the talk of research,
patriotism, with no thought of
my. must hasten to Ihc relief of this
t'tilanllirepy which, evidently., will
:>? : concern itself about the prevenI
!: :i of <:se!i social phenojuei a as lJus i1
Sages, il may therefore, be niodje
tly !iv:esie-l that the S-ge Kou '.dationisls
will be truly sociological, and
will be able to stir the nation to the
midriff it it will only make a start
on its gigantic task by unfolding the
facts and elaborating as to the startling
effects of the public schools upon
the physical and moral well-being
of the rising generation.
