Dr. Spence, representative nom
inated in Ware, which means his
election, writes to the Breeze and
informs us of an important bill for
the relief of farmers of this section
he has in contemplation. It is
hoped Coffee and Clinch will send
representatives that can and will
co-operate with him.
The Breeze regrets exceedingly
that the two political factions of
the county could not harmonize,
and that the populists saw the
necessity of putting out a full ticket.
We have as many populist patrons
as we have democrats, and feel
kindly toward them all, but we
imagine that a big mistake has been
made.

Three car-loads of railroad iron

-Interesting to Farmers.
The number of farms in Georgia
in 1900, according to the census,
was as follows : Whites, 72,056;
colored 9,547, including three In
dians and one Chinaman. The
white own 20,917,083 acres, valued
at $179,665,683, and the negroes
5>474>947 acres, valued at $48,708,-
954- The average value of farms
in the state is $816.10.
The Wadley& Mt. Vernon Railroad.
Air. Jesse Lott, one ot the first
originators of the scheme to extend
this road from the Ocmulgee river
to Broxton, Douglas and other
points, was in town Saturday and
informed us that the steel rail for
the road from Broxton (perhaps
from the river) to Douglas had
been shipped, and would be laid
down ready for trains before the
first day of September. Two or
three saw mills are already on the
line and others will build.
The Big Rug.
You have perhaps noticed the
large, handsome rug at Deen’s
Drug Store, which hangs on the
wall near the Soda Water Fountain/
It is immense and a very costly one,
an ornament to any parlor. It is
to be given to the lady who re
ceives the highest number of votes,
married or single,—each cool drink
sold at the fountain calls for a card,
you write her name on it, and after
2000 cards are exhausted in this
way the lady who receives the
highest number of votes has the
rug. The ladies name and number
of votes will be published in the
Breeze. Deen’s Drug Store for
fresh syrups, flavors, &c.
The Populists Nominate Full Ticket-
In obedience to published call,
the populists were here last Satur
day in full force, and many that
were not populists. They held a
meeting and put out the following
ticket:
For Representative—T. L. Paulk.
For Sheriff—William Davis.
For Clerk—D. W. Gaskin.
For Tax Receiver—Z. W. Kirk
land.
For Tax Collector—T. Tanner.
For Treasurer—Hamilton Sears.
For Surveyor—G. L. Aliller.
For Coroner—Dr. W. M. Vick
ers.
This is a strong ticket, and a live
ly campaign is expected. We are
not personally acquainted with all
of them, but if they happen not to
be on o. r list of subscribers they
should get on at once and keep
posted.
104 Subscribers in One Day-
Last Saturday was a big day’in
Douglas, fend it was the biggest
day for subscribers ever known for
any weekly paper in Southern
Georgia. We published a notice in
the advertising sheet for last week
that we wanted 500 new subscri
bers, to push our list up to 1.500,
as we already had 1000, on
Saturday we enrolled one ljundred
and four subferibers. Air. O.
Rudolph secured 73, Air. J. T.
Rellihan 20 and we captured 11.
In addition to this we scored several
renewals of old subscribers. This
was a fine days work, we have
ever heaid of for. a papier in this
section, which in conclusive evi
dence that our paper is appreciated,
and we feel sure that ,we will add
the other 396 before /January Ist,
1903. Now is thetfm# to subscribe.
Cash subscribers wanted only.
Yes, Alaud', dear that same dark
haired Floridian has been here all

with fodder pulling, and has placed
us under obligation for some nice
melons.
Will Appleby, who has been
here for some time, returned to his
home last Tuesday morning, at
Pendergrass. He made many
friends while here who will be glad
to see him return.
The Breeze Office is under obli
gations to Air. W. O. Paxson for
an armful of his fine canteloupes.
He has shipped a number of crates,
perhaps car loads, but we have no
information as to prices received.
Professor Hendricks has done
what he could-to keep us from
perishing during tbd past week by
donating several fine melons, of
different varieties. He has per
mission to continue the doses at
regular intervals.

Francis Willis Dart, who has just"'
been appointed Judge of the Bruns
wick Circuit to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Judge
Bennett, is one of the youngest cir
cuit judges in the state. He was
born in Brunswick thirty-three
years ago.
After graduating from the schools
there, he spent a year or two in the
mercantile business with his father.
He then took the law course at the
state university, graduating in 1892.
In 1894 he located at Douglas, Cof
fee County, and opened a law office.
His rise in the profession has been
rapid. In 1895 he became judge
of the county court of Coffee, and
when the city court was established,
judge of that. Last year he declined
reappointment in order to devote
himself more closely to the practice
of his profession.
While presiding over the city
court of Douglas his reputation*.,
grew, and when it was known that
Judge Bennett would not be a can
didate for reelection, his name was
prominently mentioned for the
place. His friends were anxious
for him to enter the race, but he de
clined to do so in opposition to his
friend Judge Parker, who had an
nounced as as a candidate.
Judge Dart is an earnest, uncom
promising democrat, and for sev
eral years has been chairman of the
democratic executive committee of
the county.

munications this week from our

statements, which could not be put
