states that he is considering the

the hope that it will lie regarded as
a token of affection from tho people
of the district.

had a right to expect this appoint

The Post Office will change hands

months before the term of Postmas
ter Disimikes expires. He proposes to
give up his position on the first of

The l ost Office i< fairly romplet
without the Post Master, and it is
customary for a Congressman t
consult his own feelings in makin
appointments. Mr. Luke's friends
would have had a lot to say about
the local post office, in case the
Thomas county candidate had won,
but as Judge Park won, it is up to
bis own supporters to approve or
disapprove of the course pursued.
Personally, we would have ac
cepted with good grace any appoint
ment made by the vi< torioug candi
date and in the same spirit we con
gratulate Mrs. Roddenbery and see
no reason why she should not ac
cept. as she can procure such assis
tance as is necessary to run the
office. While the plums are falling,
Mrs. Koddenbery’s friends, and tlie
people generally, will be glad she re
ceived one of the best.
A GEORGIA PRODUCTS MAX.
There is a merchant in Dublitj
who certainly has the right idea.
He believes in Georgia products, es
pecially in the matter of eggs and
poultry, and the way this merchant
puts the idea before the public, by
advertising it in the newspaper of
his city, is inspiring and convinc
ing. His advertisement is«n veritable
sermon. Read it:
“We wish the people of Dublin
and Laurens county to know that we
are paying around 33 cents per
dozen for eggs (cold storage at
that), 12 cents per pound for hens
and small chickens and 12 \' 2 cents,
per pound for turkeys. We will do
even better than that for our home
ieople. We will give you 40 cents
per dozen for fresh eggs, 12 Vs cents
per pound for hens and 13 cents ,.er
pound for turkeys. Ar e you going
to continue to have your lien house
in Tennessee?”
If more dealers would follow the
example of this Dublin merchant,
there would he more incentive for
Georgia farmers to devote greater
time and effort to poultry raising.
The trouble Is that dealers will posi
tively pay higher prices for import
ed eggs and poultry, when they
could get fresher eggs and fatter
chickens right in their own terri
tory by offering the same prices. !
It is to be hoped that the inter
est stimulated in Georgia products
by the campaign of the State Cham
ber of Commerce will arouse a deep
er appreciation in the merchants of
the duty they owe the producers of
their own state and community.—

is now working with tlie power of
