Covington, Ga., Aug . 4. 1905.
All indications point to a fine
trade this fall.
Last Friday was the beginning
of dog days. It rained, too.
A strong sentiment has chrys
talized all over Georgia in favor of
a biennial session of the legislature
Cotton is still King and the
Southern farmer is the power be¬
hind the throne, says the Madi¬
sonian.
The prospect of an early cotton
crop is infinately more pleasing to
the average citizen than the ques
tion of state politics.
The increase in taxable property
in Newton county during the past
year is one of our best signs of
growth and prosperity.
The dove shooting season has
ber-n on now for about two weeks.
There’s not much doing however
owing principally to the intense
heat.
Cotton is still worth ten and a
half cents on the market. We
Lnow of very few now who have
much ot the fleecy staple to swap
for the coin.
That meeting of the Masons
here on the lfith inst will be a
grand one and many of the visitors
wilt he among the most distin¬
guished citizens of the state.
There is a strong belief that
Clark Howell will never announce
officially for the office of Governor.
The penpb* have become thorougl -
ly insensed at ring politics.
A continuous stream of wealth
will begin pouring into Covington
in about four weeks. Covington
markets annually about 22,000
bales and compresses in the neigh
lo'.hood oi 40,000.
That was a great effort of law¬
breaker, Reville, against the At¬
lanta Journal. He has certainly
furnished amusement for the leg¬
islature until its adjournment.
So much for Reville.
As has been the case for several
years, a negro man near Albany
brought the first bale of new cot¬
ton to market. For it he received
23 cents per pound. Who says the
negro is not euergetic?
News comes to us from Greene
county that our old friend, F. B.
Shipp, editor of the Herald-Jour¬
nal, is going to represent his
county in the legislature next year.
If Shipp makes as good a legisla¬
tor as an editor, the county will
be safe in his hands.
It’s getting about time now that
Clark was consulting his physician
and ascerta-ning whether his
health would permit an active can¬
vass for the office of governor.
Declining health has forced two of
Georgia’s distinguished citizens
from the list already.
Jt is significant to notice how
the Howell organs and his follow
ers are crying < 4 premature cam
paign, » J ( 4 too early,” “we are
thoroughty disgusted with the
whole thing, > * Howell and his
bunch can’t Btand the light ot
truth no more than the insects un¬
der a rock the light of day.
All Justice of the Peace blanks
can be had at the Enterprise office.
Great Man and Cause.
a
There are men in Gejrgia who
for reasons best known to them- j
selves are not in favor of allowing
the people to listen to to such ad
dresses as Hoke Smith is making j
throughout the state, to large and I
enthusiastic audiences. It is too
long to the primary, they say, and | j
the farmers have no right to leave
their crops for even a couple of j
hours, to hear discussed questions
m which they and their children
are vitally concerned. But, all the
same, the speaking goes on, and
the people have the audacity to en
courage the innovation. They
cou Id just go uloug, as iu the past
accepting without question the
cmd-date pointed out to them by
11 the men who control,” and swal
low the dose in the primary with
odt protest or grimace. And the
man whose turn is alleged to “be
next” 111 the succession would like
it very much. There would be no
c tmpaiguing then, so long before
the primary, and no need of any
speaking at all; for the whole ri¬
diculous affair would be cut and
dried. That was the arrangement
but it was spoiled in arranging, by
the boasted over confidence of the
slate candidate.
Now the campaign of education
is a necessity, because the people
demanding it. Hoke Smith is
not forcing himself on unwilling
audiences. From all over the state
appeals to lo him to address
the masses, and be is trying his
to get around. The time will
be too short before the primary to
the people in every county
talk them of their affairs, face
face; but this man of the people,
Hoke Smith, is sparing neither his
means nor his strength, to cover
the entire state. The attempt to
the people from listen¬
ing to him has miserably failed.
And having listened to him, pa¬
tiently and intelligently, but few
w.il doubt the need and the urgen¬
cy of the reforms which are em
bodied in Ins candidacy. A true
man, a brave man, a great man—
probably Georgia’s greatest—he
asks nothing of the people but to
hear him to. 1 heir own chuyi, not
las own.—And they are doing it.

Getting Ready For 1908.
A St Louis dispatch says that
Mr. Bryan has agreed to support
Gov. Folk, of Missouri, for the
Democratic nomination for Presi¬
dent in 1908, provided he is consid¬
ered available at that time, and
that Gov. Folk’s attention has been
called to the agreement and
he has assented to it.
It is a good while yet before
presidential campaign of 1908
begin, uud there is likely to
many changes in the political
ation before it does begin. Mr.
Bryan and Gov. Folk may be
sympathy iu respect to a
of very important questions,
it is far trom certain that they
in such close sympathy that' they
could agree as to the
the Democratic platform should
contain.
There has been a pretty general
belief among Mr. Bryan’s admirers
that be expected to be the next
nominee ot his party for President.
His agreement with Gov. Folk may
be that he is to have the Governor’s
support in the event that it appears
he is the stronger man. It is not
to be believed that Mr. Bryan has
abandoned all hope of being Piesi
deut. He is iu the prime of life,
and he is at this very time active¬
ly engaged m organizing the Dem
cratic party on a plan ol his own.
While oilier Democratic leaders
are thinking of the next presiden¬
tial campaign as a long way uff, he
is working industriously to get
control of the party organization.
In ell parts of the country his
triends are forming clubs. When
tha time for action comes these
clubs will do excellent work for
Mr. Bryan. While it may be true
that he has agreed to support Gov.
Folk on certain conditions, it is
bardly probable that those condi
tie ns will ever orise.

God Save the State.
Just at present, for political n a
sons, party lines it. Georgia seeui
to divide the u'tive politicians tun
Public men into either “reform
e»,” or “defenders > J A few days
ago The Herald called attention
tooneJ.Q Nolan, who telt called
upon to “defend” the fair name ol
the state, who vs a s tired of “ting
»ng his cheeks with shame, ect. > 1
It is ueedless to say that .Mr No¬
lan is a member of the legislature
and voted against the anti-free
pass bill. The iaiest “defender, ) >
however, that has appeared upon
the scene seems to be the real
thing. The lesson that the Con¬
stitution bus so persistently been
drilling into the mindset a certain
class of legislators of the necessity
of saving the state, defending the
name of Georgia, and all ihe rest
of it, is at last bearing truit.
This time the “defender > t IS
Henry Reville, legislator from
Meriwether county, The Journal
furnishes the following introduc- !
tiou to Mr. Reville’s red-hot roast j
of its editor, James R. Gray, with
which he delighted the house yes¬
terday. 4 . His speech was prepared
in advance and furnished to the
press, Mr. Reville’s home county
is one that furnishes to the state
governor, Joseph Al. Terrell, and
Railroad Commissioner Warner
Hill. > t Evidently the Journal
thinks that there are others behind
Reville’s “Defense, » 1 Whatever
the inspiration of Mr. Reville’s
defeme of the state, it is interest¬
ing to note that he thinks bis
• 4 manhood” is in some way in¬
volved on account of his vote
against the anti-free pass bill. In
one part of his remarks he says:
4 4 Mr. Speaker, on yesterday in
the grand old county that gave you
to this state, I stood by the supul
cher of my honored sire, on ac¬
count of whose death I became a
member of this house, and whose
convictions on the anti pass bill,
as well as my own, I gave voice to
by my vote on this measure. I
heard a voice from the tomb suy
mg: ’Have the manhood, my
son, to stand in your place as a
representative of mine and your
native county and tear from the
face of the man who has cast as¬
persions on your honor and the
integrity of the state the mask of
the demagogue which hides the
real creature. He has done much
to make my beloved state an ana
thema, and by-word of disgrace,
disgrace, throughout the length
and breadth of this land. t »
The sequel of this brave “de
fense” of the state and his man
hood would be laughable if it were
not pitable. It seems alter Mr.
Reville’s wordy onslaught on Mr.
Gray in the house, he retired to
his hotel and urimd himself with
a self-cocking revolver and an open
knife, both of which in a subse¬
quent street encounter with Mr.
Gray be attemped to use, and that
alter he WJ9 disarmed and the
gentlemen separated he is quoted
as saying as he left the Capital
City Club steps that he would
shoot both Mr. Gray and Mr. Saul
down like dogs. Surely the slate
of Geoagia needs no such “de¬
fense” at the hands ol Mr. Reville
or any one else, Whatever kind
of “Defense” Mr. Reville himself
needs the enlightened public opin¬
ion of the people of the state will
doubtless justly mete out to him
in the future.

CALIFORNIA k
Do you want to live where the climate is mild the year round—
where labor is never oppressed by stress of weather, and where
animal vitality is never lost by mere conflict with cold?
Do you want to live in a region where the resources are more
varied than in any other equal area in the world, where the division
of great ranches affords a fine opportunity to get a small farm that
will assure you a competence?
Do you want to live where, with a minimum of labor, you can
grow profitable crops of grapes and small fruit, oranges, lemons,
olives, prunes and almonds, alfalfa and grain, where crops are sure,
business is good and capital easily finds profitable investment ?
Then go to California, where both health and opportunity await
your coming.
The Chicago, Union Pacific and
North-Western Line
is the most direct route to the Pacific Coast, and there are two
fast through trams daily via this line, over the famous double¬
track railway between Chicago and the Missouri River.
. Special low round-trip rates are in effect via this line
throughout the summer to various Pacific Coast poin Ft s, and
colonist low rate one-way tickets will be on sale during Sep¬
tember and October, which give -i
to make the trip at minimum an unusual chance for settlers
a of expense.
Daily and personally conducted excursions are operated through to San
h/iJh C !n CO, L S An f ele ?» and Portland without change, on which a double
berth in a p Pullman ii tourist sleeping car from Chicago costs only $7.00, via the
Chicago & North-Western, Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific Railways.
