Czolgosz, who ulaims to have no ac
complices, but was prompted to take
the life of the President by listening
to the lectures of Emma Goldman,
the anarchist q leen and the reading
of anarchistic literature. It is
thought by the police and otheis,
however, that it was the culmination
of a pre-arranged plot and that a
lyimber of accomplices will yet be
teund.
Emma Goldman has been arrested,
charged as an accomplice and will
be tried on that charge at the proper
time.

Is Decatur County going to have
an exhibit at the state fair at Savan
nah this fall? If so I have not heard
of it. It does seem that the citizens
of the largest and most influential
and most progressive county in
south-west Georgia are lattiug a
mighty good chance go by to adver
tise their resources, advantages and
progressiveness. Why not have
an exhibit? We can easily prepare
one that will be a credit to us and
do an unoalciilable amount of good.
The merchants and business men
of Bainbridge could oill a mass meet
ing, coramitees could be appointed
and the machinery set in motion that
would soon gather an exhibit that
would be a credit to any county
How we do need an association of
our business men to take hold of and
exhibit just such chances as this.

Within recent years it has come to
he acknowledged that the vocation of
the farmer is the most dignified Of
all the sciences, and as an Art R is
excelled only by those of painting
and architecture, says an esteemed
contemporary. In its highest forms
it is the most learned of all the pro
fessions. A knowledge of geology
and chemistry and thfcir relation to
the soils lies at the very foundation
of scientific agriculture. The prob
lems that arise from the complex
nature of the soils and their origin
require the best thought of the best
minds to solve. More educated
young men should be farmers. Ag
riculture opens a wide field leading
to influence and power—one, too,
that is not filled to repletion. It
holds forth the most spleudid prom
ises for young men of ambition. It
is filled with liberalising tendencies,
a noble conversation and the most
healthful and invigorating influences.
The day is not far distant when ag
riculture will attract men of the
largest capacity and the highest ex
ecutive ability, and be regarded as
the greatest of all the professions.
Let anyone who is familiar with what
agrioulttire was a hundred years ago
compare its condition then with what
it is to-day, and he will search iu
vain for the same proportionate ele
vation und progress among its fol
lowers in any other branch of human
industry. Many of those engaged
iu agriculture now are men of Jbigh'
uducat'oii and brood reading. Many
of them have extensive and valuable
libraries, and take numerous jour
nals devoted to their business. Ag
riuultiire moves along in its own
quiet, dignified, but in esistible way.
It has no booms, so to speak, but it
gathers strength with eauh decade
and with every accession of know
ledge, and will forever be the most
important branch of human industry
and the greatest necessity for the
human race.
It the young men who are measur
ing tape and laces would surrender
their work to the youngs girls who
are seeking employment and turn
their attention to the pursuits of ag
riculture, there would be less misery ■
and more contentment in the land;
there would bo more independence
ar.d less servility; more happy wives
with comfortable homes, healthful
children and oheerfnl tempers, A
woman surrounded by all the active
agencies of a well-kept farm, aud
living in a beautiful country honue
“with fountains and flowers and
sweet evergreens,” has those environ
ments Mint develop the sweetest
graces and highest impulses of her
nature, and make her virt ifes shine
resplendent above the world of friv
olity and fashion. She becomes a
true woman, the happiest of wives
and the best of mothers. Such a
home and such a wife realizes our
highest ideals of human happiness.
It is a home where intelligence reigns
and ennobles work, and work crowns
intelligence with honor and profit.
A young man who is in search ot
an easy place, with no.responsibility
will never control others. He who
selects a vocation because it is easy
is already effeminate.—Savannah
