the South was not making the most of
its possibilities in cotton culture, and
so proceeded to make a thorough
study of "the most valuable plant the
earth has ever produced,” as he puts
j
i.a a
To 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
cotton, which oan be profitably pro
duced in Middle Georgia. By patient
cMperimectation, in co-o<>eration with
the Department of Agriculture, he has
made Kent progress in this direct ion
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 ac-
rocnplished. It is a wonderful thing
to lift an entire industry, and thus
to elevate the standard of living for
tens of thousands of families—more
wonderful, far, than building a rail
road or a cotton mill, as I have said.
What be 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 varieties of peaches,
a<>ples 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 ami ber
ries, and thus again achieved results
which have benefited other growers
as much as himself. In the course
of his studies he has visited the most
famous fruit-growing and wine-pro
ducing districts of the world, Includ
ing those In California and in Prance,
and has necessarily become a man of
science. 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 rankB of professional scien
tists Invited to meet the world’s
greatest thinker. Incidentally, it may
be mentioned that he is an enthusi
astic collector of Indian antiquities,
and that his search for rare speci
mens has carried him all over the
United States and Mexico, ar.d even
to distant Islands of the Pacific.

“The caste Instinct is always resi
dent in the brain of the white man,
North or South, be he Catholic, Prot
estant or Quaker. In the North, this
finds expression in social distinction
based on the possession of wealth and
culture, South, the caste Instinct
finds so much greater differences in
inherent civilization. in the white
race, against inherent barbarism in
the black race, that the caste senti
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
distinction. This condition gives freer
play to altruistic social usage among
the white people here than in other
parts of our country.”

To provide greater accommodation«
for people crossing from Brooklyn and
Mher Long Island cities and towns,
two new bridges are under way—the
Manhattan, to be finished next year,
and the Blackwell’s Island bridge, to
be finished in 19u8. The East River
Tunnel to connect the New York sub
way with Brooklyn may be completed
la 1916 The experts say that these
two bridges and the tunnel will ac
commodate 175,000 per hour. The pres
ent traffic by bridges and ferries be
tween Long Island and Manhattan Is
land approximates 100,000, the rate of
increase last year being about 50 per
cent. There is no reason to expect a
smaller Increase in any one of the ten
years before the East River Tunnel will
be opened. It would seem, therefore,
that the Long Island side of the prob

J Honian\s Prophecy.
Mme. de Thebes, who predicted the
Paris charity bazaar fire and Presi
dent Carnot’s assassination, haa fixed
up a bunch of trouble for 1906. Ma
dame, pleasantly, even gaily, states
that 1906 will be a wild year, full of
strange, extravagant, incomprehensible
and astonishing madnesses. She pre
dicts that Germany will be threatened
with general smash early in the year;
that South America is to be torn with
upheavals, that an unconquerable epi
demic is to sweep this country; that
Belgium will play a curious part in
the transformation of Europe; that the
attention of the world will be centered
on Turkey and the near East; and that
there will be serious losses in the art
world.
How refreshing it would be if some
of these people who read the future
like an open book would see something
pleasant sometimes and tell about it.
