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. Rieroe. He is getting up j good paper, and sc«ms to be receiving a goc < advertising patronage. 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 There is no necessity for it os le¬ gal papers, and it ought to be repealed.

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: “Here’s one: This morning be¬ fore Fa started downtown ma wanted $5 for groceries and things, and she tried to get it by saying bituminous words, but pa gave her an anthracite look, and when h « disappeared around bitwoiaotely.” the corner -] 1G was weeping Ex . . _ A , fellow-devil , „ . tells „ me that ., . the .. rage for r cut j. mg female ^ names with ^ has wachSd » ridiculous cli- mas in his nei g hborho0( ].
