THE GENTLE CYNIC
The more a man gets left the more
he talks about his rights.
Hard words become harder still
when you have to take them back.
Even the weight of his own dignity
will sometimes carry a man under.
No woman Is so economical as to
want to make her wedding dress do
twice,
The self-made man always seems
to have paid particular attention to
his vocal organs.
The average married man often
wonders how his wife can have so
much faith in him.
Some men are born great, some
achieve greatness, and others thrust
themselves upon it.
In some of those Latin-Amerlcan
republics it seems easier to be presi
dent than to be right.
There may be nothing new under
the sun, but any tradesman can offer
you something just as good.
Don’t trust the man who boasts
that he is honest as the day is long.
So is the burglar. He only works at
night
BY THE WAYSIDE
Tou don't have to be an astronomer
to see stars.
Loud people and onions belong to
the same genus.
Knowledge is a good servant and
the long green a good pal.
Lovers' quarrels are merely skir
mishes; the real battles come later.
Little is said about discretion con
sidering how valuable a thing it is.
When a head has decided to be
come bald it seldom changes its mind.
Many a person who claims he is
self-made relieves nature of an awful
responsibility.
A great deal of food is consumed
by suggestion nowadays—from neces
sity, however.
Man has to work hard to obtain
wisdom, but it comes to woman as
an inheritance.
Most of us can talk more good In
three minutes than we are willing to
do in ten years.

Tour.
Mr. John M. Williams, one of
Winder’s leading cotton mein has
just returned from a few days’
tour of the Western cot f on states
and to a 'News man Tuesday
said:
“The cotton crop thru North
west Georgia is not as good as
our crops in this section of the
state. The cotton plant is small
but is fruiting well. This is the
condition in Alabama and Missis
sippi till we reach the MifcJ&ippi
valley where the cotton is from
three to five feet high locked in
the middle with five feet rows.
This is the condition thru the
Memphis section. Southern Ar
kansas is fine. From Little Rlock
on West to Oklahoma line con
ditions begin to fade away ex
cept for the bottom land, which is
good. This id true of Oklahoma
bottom, lauds, but the ma.joF por
tion of Oklahoma is sweltering un
der the hottest weather I Was ev
er in. The corn crops were about
half made and it is entirely
burned up. pastures dry and as*
dead as in winter, cattle being
driven miles for water and in
some sections train loads of cat
tle were bein shiped to market
Water was being hauled for do
mestic purposes in big tank wag
ons. Oklahoma is in bad shape
as to com and forage crops/ ,but
she made a big wheat and oats
cr o p, and the cotton crop can yet
make good if rains come by the
25th of August to soak the
ground. West of Oklahoma City
I saw thousands of acred six in-
eiies high with all the little bolls
open and a bloom, in top. Some
par + s of this state have had no
rain for six to nine weeks, hut
th.oib farmers have so many
things to bring in mon
ey they will tell you they don’t
get discouraged, hut conditions
two monthd ago were so good
that it does not look possible for
it to be so had as p-ow. Most
every farmer has patf ures in
which there are great droves of
sheep, cows, hogs and alfalfa
fields in west Oklahoma. Texasi
is so big and varied its hard to
tell all. In northeast Texas
around Denison, Sherman, Mc-
Kinney and Greenville they have
a bumper crop. Several farmers
told me they had the be& crops
of all kinds they had ever had.
The cotton is just as fine as can
grow. But fifty miles west of
Sherman they are suffering from
drought, and it is thirty miles
south by Fort Worth from Gaines
ville to Austin. The plant is
small except along the Brazas,
which kf not as good as usual.
Northeast Texas has a bumper
crop, West Texas is in bad
South of Fort Worth and Dallas
cotton is opening fast prema
turely and picking and ginning
is in full sway. Southeast Tex
as is good also, but the weevil
is getting in his work, as they’ve
had frequent showers which
imakes the weevil very bail I
came thru Louisiana from Shrove
port to Vicksburg. This valley
section is very good indeed, but
I was told the weevil was do
ing some damage but a big crop
was already made. E saw ;fome
very fine cotton between the lev
ees and the Mississippi, almost
as high as a grown person, green,
black and still growing. Thru
Mississippi from Vicksburg to
Meridian the crop as a whole ifif
Poor; small, light fruit and turn
ing red and needing rain. Ala
bama compares very favorably
with Georgia, but Barrow county
isc a favored spot and looks go°d
to me, and except for the bottom
hind cotton, I saw no better crops
than we have right here around
Winder, Ga., Barrow Qounty.
