THIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE * A ssociation GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES “All aboard for Indian Spring, the most beautiful and comfortable summer resort in the South!” We all speak wisely and sagely of the tariff, but who knows ex actly what effect the tariff has on the clothes he wears and the blan kets which keep his baby warm? We hear much from the Ameri can press about what Japan may do about the California situation, but there is comparatively little in side information from the Mikado as to what he expects to do. Everybody is sitting on their nickles until they see what the Ad ministration is going to do. If you hear an agonized scream you may know that somebody hag squeezed a dollar too hard and the eagle thereon has protested. The Clarke County Board of Commissioners of Roads and Rev enues have been censured by the auditor of their books for their CARELESSNESS in expending money for county supplies. Wonder if the auditor is going all over the State to save the people’s money? After some months the parcel post of the l uffed States is still running smoothly, and the public is being served with courtesy. We have 110 intimation of the bank ruptcy of the postoffice, which was held up before the people by the express companies as the inevitable result of a parcel post. Friends throughout the Sta'e, aud especially those of the press, of Mrs. Kdwin Taylor, whose hus band was one of the editors of The Covington News, will be interested in the announcement that she will continue his work on that paper. The death of Kd Taylor two weeks ago was a shock to his friends and created a vacancy on the press of the S’.ate ’hat will be keenly felt. Mrs. Taylor is a charming, cul tured worn in, thoroughly capable of upholding the high standards that baveal vays characterized the papers with which her husband was connected. That she will succeed and be of very valuable assistance to 1 iitor Flowers is an already established opinion. Why Not a Chicken Law? Now that the tender shoots of vegetables and flowers are begin ning to spring up from the rich earth, made warm by the sunshine of these beautiful days, it seems an appropriate and opportune time to bring into practice the golden rule, “Do unto others,” etc.; or, as the head to this article would suggest, “Do unto your chickens, vegetables and flowers as you would have others do.” There is a law that allows a per son to “take up” a horse or cow that wanders about and destroys gardens or crops or tramples under foot tenderly-cared-for plants, then why not a chicken law that would protect one’s front flower garden or rear vegetable garden from the chickens that are allowed to roam about the streets? Detective Burns is in Atlanta working on the Phagan case. This is one of the best moves the At lanta detectives have made. Business Government for Cities ( From The Columbia Ledger.) The time is coming when every city in the country will be governed by business men oil business prin ciples. ll is a rather difficult tiling to pry the old system loose and in some towns the feat seems almost an impossibility. But eventually municipal affairs will be run on business principles. The increase in taxes, the ine qualities of taxation, the want of public improvements and the high cost of mediocre work, will all be corrected in time. The community spirit is gaining ground and it is noticed that where the people work t igether, the greatest progress ex ists. The progressive young ele ment of the age will demand and is demanding a commission gov ernment and well qualified com missioners as well. The day of the ward politician is passing. It is encouraging to know that many Georgia towns are seeking to establish a commission form of gov ernment. Such steps are never taken where stagnation exists. The commission form is the gov ernment for the progressive city. It is the thing for the people. Pure Sisal Binder Twine international lag, only 49c ball. Etheridge, Smith & Cos. $25 Reward!

No one who has given the matter the least consideration will deny that the State College of Ag riculture has not been doing a won derful work for Georgia farmers, not only at the College, but out with the farmers in demonstration work and institutes, in girls’ can ning clubs and boys’ corn clubs, and in many other ways used for carrying useful information to the farm. The College has grown from practically nothing to an enroll ment of 350 students in five years. The men and means for instructing the student body will have to keep pace with the growth or the work will suffer. The demonstration work, the corn club and canning club work, and all the other de mands made upon the College by the farmers should be met and the State should see to it that necessary funds are provided. The farmer pays most of the taxes. He has got comparatively little for education in his profes fession, while he has been contrib uting uncomplainingly to indus trial and professional education. Is it not fair that now when there is the demand and a keenly felt need that the farmer should come into his share? Bishop Haygood on Farm Tenancy. Bishop Haygood was not only given to preaching the gospel, but also to seership and statesmanship. He was a preacher-citizen-patriot, profoundly concerned in large and liberal ways with great policies of church and State alike. Here is what he has to say about farm tenancy: “We have perhaps the poorest farm tenancy system that ever was devised. Take the case of the or dinary cropper—whether a white or a black man —with his one-third or one-fourth of the crop, accord ing to the conditions of the con tract. 11 is interest is to get all he can out of the laud and to put as little on it or in it as possible. It is for a year only The landlord is in like case; his interest is to get out of the tenant all that he can. If these two do not cheat each other they are perfect men. It is a case of skinning on both sides: both are at it and both succeed. Each gets the other's hide and loses his own.” McMichael & Dodson invite j your inspection of their mar ket, anti solicit your orders. Limited quantity of Un known Peas for sale. . Paul Nolen & Cos.

Atlanta, Ga., May 15. —Atlan- tans have been introduced to anew form of journalism, and some of them don’t relish the acquaint anceship. A couple of nights ago a small army of clarion-voiced newsboys invaded a quiet residence section about 0 p. m. and began to cry at the top of their voices, “Special extra! Special extra about the Phagau murder!” From one end of the street to the other people hurried to their front doors and bought the paper. The Atlanta public will always buy special ex tras. They had learned from long experience with the big papers es tablished here that when a special extra was put on the street and sent into the residence section at that hour of the night, it meant big news. Imagine their amazement and disgust, therefore, when they found that the paper they had been sold was nothing more than the final baseball edition of Mr. Ilearst’s newspaper, the Atlanta Georgian. It contained practically no more 11 ws about the Phagan case than had been in the regular afternoon editions of the papers. People who bought it as a special extra were simply cheated out of their money. A resident collared one of the newsboys and asked him what he meant by putting up such a rotten fake. The newsboy, whether he told the truth or not, said that he had been instructed to do so. No body has succeeded in proving that the newsboys actually were in structed by anybody in authority at the Georgian to do what thev did, but the impression the affair has made is not a pleasant one.
