The Government statistician hags
iegued a report which saye that the
advance in wages has been greater
than the advance in the cost of
living. Now, there is a ‘‘nature
fakir”’ worth going after.
There is an old saying that ‘‘he
who sups with the devil needs u
long spoon.’”” Maybe go; but he
who knowingly sits down to sup
with the devil hasn’t got sense
ecough to use a spoon.

The Chicago Tribune, which has
been investigating the strength of
various candidates for President,
says Taft and Hughes are in the
lead, and that Hughes leads in his
own State with Taft second, while
Taft leads in Ohio with Hughes
second, but not such a strong sec
ond as Taft is in New York. Roose
velt and Knox are away behind.
Twenty-five years ago the seed
of the cotton plant was virtually
a 8 waste product of the South’s
great staple crop, except such
small percentage of the output as
was needed for reproduction and
for composting. It is estimated
that the net value to the South of
last season’s cotton seed output
will be not less than $90,000,000;
and from year to year the value
will be increased, as the demand
for the oil, the cake, the linters
and the meal becomes greater.

Damsite is the name of a new
town in Texas, recently included
in the list of postoffices. It is a
village located on the 10,000-acre
farm of Col. Cecil Lyon and asso
ciates in the Texas Panhandle.
They have their own system of
irrigation and are not selling the
land, but will cultivate it, em
ploying about 200 farm hands. A
commissary store is conducted as
a part of the farm enterprise, and
a large amusement hall has just
been finished. The aim isto make
a model community.
When Dewey captured Manila,
and with that city the Philippine
Islande, there was nothing for the
American government to do but
take possession of the archipelago.
The cost to the United States of
the domination of the islands has
been something like $400,000,000,
not to mention the valuable lives
lost. The islande have proved a
burden, and & heavy one, and will
continue to be a menace to the
peace of the country. Why not
give them up? Why not sell them,
preferably to their own people.
We have enough to do to govern
our own country and keep it
straight, without meddling in the
affaiis of aliens with whom we
have little sympathy and practi

The only Americans who want to
bold on to the Philippines are
those who hope to get political of

} Twenty-three years ago a man
of the name of Westmoreland was
sentenced to a three years’ term
in the North Carolina penitentia
ry. He eerved a bit more than
two years, snd then escaped.
From that time on he led an hon
2st and industrious life in Wins
ton, more than twenty years, and
in the meantime married a wife
and became the father of several
children. His manner of living
gave every evidence that he was a
thoroughly reformed man, devoted
to his duties as husband, father
and citizen., Then came along
somebody who recognized him as
an escaped convict with still a few
months of his sentence to serve,
and he wae arrested and sent back
to the penitentiary. ‘l'he informer
doubtlese thought he had done a
fine thing, especially as there is a
’stauding reward for the apprehen
sion of escaped convicts. But
does it not seem that in cases of
this kind there should be consid
eration for the poor fellow who
has tried to reform aund who has
reformed? Down in the depths of
the heart of many a man who is
honest with himself there lurks
the consciousness that, but for the
mercy of God and the ignorance
of the grand jury, he would him
self perhaps be wearing the stripes
if he got hie just deserts. Why,
then, not let the poor devil who
had fullen and been caught, but
who has lived decently afterwards, l
have a chance to live on honestly
and redeem his past, for the sake
of the conscience that cries out
within us that we are all sinners?

COBB COUNTY POULTRY SHOW.
The following clipping was taken from
The Southern Poultryman of Dallas,
Texas:
Mr. C. W. Fowler, assistant secretary
of the Cobb County Poultry Association
writes under date of August 17th: A
very enthusiastic meeting of the Cobb
County Association was held Aug. 13th.
The next show will be held Dec. 3, 6.
Several nice silver cups have already
been donated and there will be over a
hundred dollars on some varieties. D.
M. Owen will judge the poultry and
Geo. Ewald, of Cincinnati will judge
the pigeons. For premium list and en
try blanks address John P. Cheney, Sec
retary, Marietta. Ga.
The writer was raised in Bartow, ad
joining county to Cobb. He ‘‘fought,
bled and died,” slong with Chuck An
derson, Jim Edmonston, Charley Bass,
Big Sewell, Little Sewell and otl.ers
from Cobb. He has been in Texas for
30 years, but has noticed that Cobb
County has been winning first or second
prize at many of the fairs for best ex
hibit of farm products. She began do
ing that back in the days of my boy
hood and keeps it up to this blessed
day. Cobb is peopled by a wonderfully
progressive people. Theydon’t half do
anything and they are not going to be
turned down by any other poultry show
in Georgia. ~t will be a good one, be
like everything of the kind that people
touches, the best.
This is Fowler’s home county, which
means the best Buff Rock exhibit in
Marietta, Dec. 3-6, that will be seen in
America next show season. It is the
home county of Loring Brown and Bel
mont Farm. Fowler with his Buff
Roeks, Loring Brown with his Bantams,
White Leghorns, Pekin Ducks and
Scoteh Terrier Dogs and Belmont Farm
with its nine breeds of poultry, turkeys,
ducks, collies, Beagle hounds and pet
stock can alone make a show worth go
ing two hundred milestosee, They are
not the only breeders in the county by
great odde, but can make a big show all
the same.
This is going to be one of Georgia’s
best, if not the best show held by her
people. It is in Cobb County where
the best of everything grows.”’
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
A movement has peen started in the
public school this year which merits
the hearty support of every citizen.
For along time the school seems to
have stood merely in the relation of a‘
workshop to its many pupils, a place
where so many tedious hours must be
begrudgingly spent, an institution re
ceiving neither love nor loyalty, #hose
influence as a school is at its greatest,
but terwporary, and at its widest, con
fined to the school grounds. |
And this is not the fault of a faculty
whose energies, owing to the over
crowded condition of our schools, are
entirely consumed by the merely me
chanical performance of multitudinous
duties. If the students of a school are
to approach their work with ardor, to
regard their instructors with love and
respect, to work for the best interests
of the school and to hold its influence
dear in after years, the school must
mean something more than a workshop.
To meet this need, several plans are
on foot. For both boys and girls lit
erary societies have been organized
which have already met with a hearty
reception. Recitations, debating and
social features are included in the plans.
A public debate with some other school
and a school paper are among the sug
gested possibilities.
- For the boys an athletic association
has been organized, and under its au
spices an exciting tennis tournament
has already been played. A football
team has been partially equipped and
i 8 now in practice. It is planned to
} have several games with other schools.
By the liberality of our progressive
;school board. the grounds have been
extended and improved so that the
‘school is now in possession of a fine,
‘though somewhat limited athletic field,
i Here it is proposed by the Athletic As
‘sociation to erect a simple apparatus
for field and gymnasium sports. In
‘short, the school life is to be made to
‘approach as nearly to that of the best
‘Bchools as the interest and support of
the citizens will allow.
Just now all energies are concentra
ted upon the football team. All past
mistakes are admitted. Money has been
contributed before to no purpose.
Teams have disbanded and failed. But
a new dispensation has arrived. Every
cent of money contributed will be pub
liely acecounted and apphied to the pur
poses outlined. KEvery piece of equip
ment purchased remains the property
of the school, and will be used over and
over from year to year, There i 8 no
possibility of misappropriation of funds.
Only a very small sum is required to
start us, so small that a very little
from every one will be ample. Help
the boys to help themselves.

A LIFE OF TAXATION.
We are a sorely taxed people.
The burden that the average man
has to carry is enough to make
him a beast of the field. - Taxed
or the place he does business in,
taxed on the goode therein, taxed
on special articles, taxed on what
he makes out of the raw material,
taxed to sell his wares, taxed on
the money he has made in selling
the goods that have already been
taxed, taxed to vote, taxed for his
horse, his cow, his dog, taxed by
the government in tariff duties on
what he eats and wears, taxed on
the home he lives in—and at last
held up by the coffin trust and
taxed for the box that countaine
his poor molderiug dust.
