Hate to trust the state road with some legislators we know. It is not a bit too early to shop early. The early advertiser gets the holiday trade. The capital news service of the Macon Telegraph is the best sent out from Atlanta. Not that we want to resurrect him, but wonder what has be come of Hobson? Blatant braver is Bryan.

Section 16 of the anti-shipping law makes that plain when it says: That it shall be unlawful for any person to receive (1) more than one gallon of vin ous liquor or (2) more than six gallons (48) pints of mal ted liquor or fermented li quors, such as beer, lager beer, ale, porter, or other fer mented liquors, either in bot tles or other receptacles, or (3) more than two quarts of spirituous liquor, etc. Those who have been indulging in the hope that they might order the specified amount of whiskey, wine and beer, each month, will now have to content themselves with one of the above. If English sparrows could be trained to eat boll weevils the well known and much dreaded boll weevii would have to go out of busipesA. A race for commissioner of agriculture between Jim Price and Pope Brown would make the widely famous political fur fly in various directions.
