Senator Bacon’s name is being
^mentioned in connection with sec
ond place on tha Democratic Rrc*
idential ticket. We would be glad
to see the senator so honored.
Y> : e received » copy of the
"Wrightsvilte Record publishod by
ow !at*i brother editor. A. B.

paper, and sc«ms to be receiving a

Those of our citizens wlio have
liuilding lots should begin to make'
some preparation toeroct some
dwellings for rent next fall when
school opens. Dwellings will be
greatly m den.and and the people
should try and have them ready
by the time or before the school
o{>en*.
We notice tho announcements
of a few---candidates for various
ptfL"Js in some of our neighboring
counties. 8o far, in this county,
wo have not heard much political
talk. With the exception of a
tew senatorial and representative
aspirants, vre have not heard of
any likely candidates for any of
the county offices.
As will be seen by a notice pub¬
lished in another column, from J.
M. Crawford, president of the
Board of Education, we will have
an election on February 10, for
county school commissioner. Of
oonrae only the members of the
Board of Education will be entitled
to a vote, Although the people at
larjspa aw interested in the election
of a good mAn. So far wo have
not hoard of ft single candidate
although wo suppose Col. J. A.
Neese, the present encumbent, will
go before the Board for re-election.
Congressman Lewis, of Georgia,
has introduced a bill to reiwai. t he
war revenno stamp tax. Ha is right.
There is no necessity for it os le¬

repealed. We liope he will push

Hon. William E. Goobel, Dem
ocratic eontostor for
o f Kentucky, was shot, ami wo y
I.Kdy fatally wounded luesday
morning in I< rank-fort, by an
known would-be assassin.
Goebel was just entering the
ital grounds <<n his way to the
senate, when the fatal nhot was
fired by some one concealed in the
utete building occupied by Got.
Taylor, the Republican candidate
for governor,,'who was inaugurated
as governor by the state board of
caHviwsors. The Democrats after
Taylor’s inauguration, notified the
legislature of a con teat. The leg¬
islature has been considering the
case for several days. If Goebel’s
wound does not prove fatal, he
will, iaeyond ail doubt, bo declared
governor by the legislature.
Cotton Growory, Bo warn.
The statement comes from Mont¬
gomery that them will bo an
in cott/yn acreage in Aiaba
iaa this year. Though not
gether unexpected, this
unwelcome news. The increased
acreage will of course be the
of thin set..son’s seven-cent, cotton,
arid unquestionably shows that
their recent hard experience has
failed to teach many farmers m
our sister state a bitter but useful
lesson.
Ii the farmers 6f A labama want
a raturn of four coat cotton, let
them increase their acreage and
advertise the fact that they have
done so, thus recklessly killing the
golden goose; if they want seven
cents or a still better price for
cotton next fall, let them plant
less even than last year and devote
tfeci? surplus land and energy to
crops that are sura of
substantial returns not subject to
fluctuations. On this subject the
Manufactures’ Record recently
gave the.following good advice:
“Until all the cotton-raising
land has been brought under culti¬
vation a normal increase in acreage
may be expected, and, in fact, it
may hardly be deplored. But
cotton-growers uboukl remember
that the cost of raising cotton may
be greater this year than last; that
the situation in the legitimate
Market for the staple will certain¬
be changed ii vho supply ex¬
ceeds the demand, and that*' the
surest way of inducing this phase
of overproduction is by abnormal¬
ly extending the acreage. The
condition of cotton-growers has
undoubtedly been much improved
this year by the advance m the
price of cotton. They should re¬
member, though, that their gener¬
al condition is marked by a
balancing of poor years and good
ones, and they should, instead of
sinking all their gains of this year
in preparation for enlarged opera¬
tions, devote their energies to re¬
ducing the cost of growing their
crops bv rendering themselves as
independent They as should possible for food¬
stuffs. continue and
develop the good habit, acquired
through adversity, of living at
horns,”—Macon Telegraph.
Meaning of Words.
“What,” asked the teacher, ac¬
cording “does to the Chicago mean?’' Times*
Herald, ‘anthracite’
“That's a kind of coal," said
little Willie.
“Yes, Anthracite coal is what
we call hard coal. So ‘anthracite’
must mean ‘hard.’ Now can you
tell ms what ‘bituminous means? ’
“That’s coal too,” Willi# reoiied.
“But it isn’t the same kind of
coal that anthracite is, in it? Bi¬
tuminous coal is what we common¬
ly rofer let to an soft coal. Now
Willie, us see if you can form
a sentence containing tho words
‘anthracite’ and ,bituminous. I »
"Willie thought the matter over
for a moment and then said:
