SNAP SHOTS ON WEDNESDAY’S
ELECTION.
According to the viewpoint of Har
vey Nimmons and Marvin Mooty
there were over 300 Troup county
citizens who did not vote (W) right.
And now there will probably be
several candidates for tne office of
Solicitor General of the Coweta Cir
cuit.
Some one said that there nre three
degrees in the Ananias Club: Liars,
dam lifil-s, and campaign managers.
The friends of Hardwick certainly
saw to it that no one with tho slight
est leaning toward Slaton was ap
pointed as delegate or alternate to
the State Convention.
‘‘Bunk’’ Cooper can hardly feel
flattered over the result.
Cliff Walker made a great race.
The people of the state are to be
congratulated upon retaining M. L.
Brittain us State Superintendent of
Schools; likewise Judge Rainey as
Prison Commissioner.
Jim Price’s friends are delighted
over the substantial endorsement
which he received.
“J«dge Briles” moves up to the
Court of Appeals.
Will Wright was badly mistaken in
thinking three weeks was sufficient
time in which to beat Charlie Adam
son.
Both Representatives from Mount-
ville! What strange things we see in
polities sometimes. Both fine, up
right men, however, and we are sure
they will try to avoid partisanship in
representation.
We nre mighty sorry that our
friend, Trox Bankston, did not win
one of the places. He is all right
personally and West Point was en
titled to one of the places this 1 me.
Our compliments to the losers. For
the most part they are proving good
sports, accepting defeat in a manner
that is highly creditable to them.
This warning to the winners: Do
not crow unduly, for you may have to
“eat crow” yourselves sometime.
It is a credit to the good judgment
of the people that they should have
so decidedly expressed themselves
against giving up Hoke Smith and
Charlie Adamson at this crisis in the
country’s affairs. The fact that they
won with such handsome majorities
while sticking to their posts makes
this verdict all the more flattering.
From the viewpoint of Hoke Smith’s
followers, the best single feature of
his overwhelming victory was the
fact that he carried both Cobb and
McDuffie counties.
Oh. yee, of course I’ll lonely be.
But you must have your summer Joy*.
Ant), then, sometimes I'll huve with me

I'U manage to get on. my dear.

Duty or charitable.
We give most worthily when we as
sume the worthy use of our gifts.
The Idle flinging of a coin to an un
deserving beggar ia not true benevo
lence; it Is a cheap and easy way of
buying relief to our own feelings. So
to give to any cause which does not
wisely and economically expend Its
receipts Is foolish charity. In a word,
It 1b as much a part of a glver’B duty
to examine financial reports as It Is
to read appeals for aid.
Best Regards to Science.

a headline. Here's hoping it has beb
ter luck with it than we have had with

Wynn Brings
First Bale
The first bale of cotton was brought
to LaGrange by Mr. A1 Wynn, a
prominent Troup county farmer, who
operates a large farm at Louise, yes
terday. The bale was of the “Uncle
Sam” variety cotton and weighed 605
pounds. It was stored at the Troup
warehouse and Mr. Wynn states that
it will be sold today to Mr. J. E. Dun-
son for 12 1-2 cents per pound.
Inoculation for
Seed Furnished
Mr. L. C. Davis, government farm
demonstration agent, announces that
the government will furnish free to
the farmers inoculating material for
clovers, vetches and alfalfa.
The farmers should make applica
tion at once to Mr. Davis as he had
considerable trouble last year in get
ting all demands supplied.
PIPE SMOKING INCREASING
RAPIDLY IN AMERICA
New Process by Which "Bite" is Re
moved from Tobacco. Responsible
for Great Popularity.
“Have you noticed that many more
men smoke pipes nowadays than five
or ten years ago?” asked E. L.
Massey, an experienced tobacco man
who is at the Park Hotel for a few
days. “It is no exaggeration to say,”
continued Mr. Massey, “that two mil
lion more men are smoking pipes now
than were ten years ago. This tre
mendous increase is due to the dis
covery of a process of treating Burley
tobacco to remove the bite from it.”
“For many years tobacco men have
known that Kentucky Burley is the
sweetest and mildest of tobacco, bnt
it remained for a Richmond doctor to-
discover the famous ‘Tuxedo Processr
which removes every trace of bite or
.sting, and preserves the original
sweetness and freshness of the Bur-
,ley.”
That this "Tuxedo . Process” does
actually remove all the bite and sting
from the tobacco, is proven by the
-hearty endorsement which the tobacco
has received from hundreds of Ameri
ca’s greatest men, including such
well-known names as Rex Beach, John
Philip Sousa, Congressmen William
F. Murray of Massachusetts and W.
Stuart Reyburn of Pennsylvania,
George Randolph Chester the author,
Harrison Fisher the artist, Henry
Reuterdahl the well-known expert on
naval construction, Vihljarmnr Stef-
ansson the noted explorer, and many
others.
The manufacturers of Tuxedo are
giving a practical demonstration of
the justification of their claims as to
the mildness, purity and fragrance of
Tuxedo tobacco, in this city this week,
by giving free for a few days a splen
did watch fob to each purchaser of a
10c tin of Tuxedo. The medallion is
of solid bronze or silver finish, and
carries the great seal of the United
States in has relief. The strap is of
fine) smooth black leather, with a
handsome enameled buckle, strong and
serviceable. The fob is at the same
time useful and ornamental, and may
be considered one of the most re
markable free propositions ever of-
feredto the public.
Brings Second
Bale Cotton
Andrew Lowe, a prosperous negi
farmer on Mrs. L. W. Dallis’ plai
brought to the city Tuesday momir
the second bale of cotton seen .
LaGrange from this year’s crop.
Andrew worked hard this year
get in the firsrt bale and he thougl
he had things cinched until he can
into town and found that he had bet
preceded on the afternoon before l
a bale from the farm of Mr. A1 Wyr
at Louise. However he claims tl
distinction of ginning the secor
bale and feels gratified over the fa
that his came from a three hon
farm, while the other came from oi
much larger. The bale was sold 1
the C. V. Truitt Company for t«
cents a pound and was stored at tl
Security warehouse. The first ba
this year preceded the first or
brought in last year by ten days.
