Commissioner Hudson says the peach erop is safe. That settles it. Atlanta burglaries continue, even to the assaulting with bludgeons, the in mates of the house. An exchange eays that hypocrigy is 80 common that there are few people who cannot talk ugly about a man one day and eat at his table the next. Aecording to Georgia papers, $11,000,- 000 has been spent in five years for schools in this State, and there are now 84,380 illiterate children in this com monwealth.—Griffin News. Hon. DuPont Guerry will resign the presidency of the Wesleyan Female College, Macon, at the end of the pres ent term in June. The college has been brought up to a high state of efficiency under his management. Ex-President Koosevelt left on the 23d to explore the African jungles.

Let’s elect the Governor every tour years.—MecDuflie Progress. All right, brother, Barkis is willin’.— Greensboro Herald. And, 'as a general proposition, the candidate is willing, too. Do a hundred favors for a friend, and he soon forgets it. Omit to do one thing he thinks you ought todo, and he is your enemy.

Well, Joe Brown wasn’t disposed of, and he was a former Railroad Commis sioner. Rev. J. R, Seals, pastor of the Meth odist church at Cathbert, Ga., denies that his congregation prayed for the sending of the destructive cyelone, and characterizes the published report sent out as & newspaper sensation and a slander. HSome idea of the progress which the ' campaign in Bouth Georgia for a larger production of food products on the farms is making may be gained from the statement that the acreage in oats alone is fully fifty per cent. greater than it was last year. The retiring president said of his sue cessor, Mr. Taft: ‘‘He is a man who | avoids giving needless offense.”’ l An edmirable trait, to be sure, and ! ought to be more generally practiced. ' To give pleasure and not pain, isal «Christian virtue. | ‘The Macon Telegraph contends that Murphy Candler is ineligible to hold the office of Railroad Commissioner; that he is a membe~ of the legislature until his successor qualifies in June, and that the old legislature is subject to be convened in extra session, if nec ©BSAry. The Marietta Journal must fear the extermination of Cobb county ’pos sume. Prominently on its editorial page, it publishes the law protecting ‘possums during certain months of the year —LaFayette Messenger. No, wa are trying to keep some thoughtless fellow f{rom running up againgt the grand jury. What was probably the first Caesarian operation,bringing twinsinto the world, in the history of surgery, was performed in Atlanta,on January 6, 1909, by Dr, W. B.

Virginia-Carolina Fertili Other men have been able to double and more than double their yield per acre with a liberal application of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers. Messrs. Lucas & Jackson of Kelsey County, Tenn., used Vir ginia-Carolina Fertilizer on about 55 acres planted with cotton, and say: ‘““We have the finest crop of cotton we ever saw, and all the people around here think the same. We actually counted 447 boils on one stalk. Another stalk had by actual count 409 bolls, forms, squares and blossoms. On about 8 acres we expect to make about 2%ales to the acre, and an estimate of adjoining farms not so fer tilized and under other cultural methods, will yield only 1 bale to five acres.”” An interestin% picture of the cotton plants referred to will be found in the new 1909 Virginia-Carolina I'Parmers’ Year Book, copy of which may be had from your fertilizer dealer, or will be sent free, if you write our nearest sales office.
