With the probability that bacon

f The history of the Tampa cigar-
makers’ strike is like that of nearly
every venture of kindred character.
When rioting and disorder had
reached the point where the long-
suffering publid would suffer no
longer, and the law-abiding citizens
took the matter in hand,the strikers
were soon at work again
It is said the government has shut
down work at some of the mints be
cause there was not enough to keep

a few on extra time and loan us the

News comes from Pittsburg that
"the bath tub trust” is undergoing
investigation there. Strange they
,-hould investigate where it is so dif
ficult to find one of the objects, but
probably the selection of the smoky
city was made by a wiley attorney for
the trust, as one of the few places
where it was least likely to have
made a sale.
Savannah has a reputation for
royal hospitality that is national.
But the pace set is a little too fast
for the press boys. One man with
a broken bead, another with three
broken ribs, and still another dis
figured but able to walk as a result
of Tuesday’s little al fresco party
reminds of the good old days of ar
tillery punch.
Macon should by all means be
made the permanent home of the
Georgia State Fair. And not alone
because of its central location, al
though that is u strong argument,
but primarily because of the inter
est her citizens and business men
have always taken in the institution,
that has made every fair held in re
cent years such a signal success.
With that warm, whole-hearted
Southern hospitality for which she
is famous over two continents,
Savannah entertained the newspa
per men of three states Tuesday. It
needed not this to worm the hearts
of the members of the Fourth Estate
toward the beautiful Forest City,
but it was an additional token of
teem and appreciation for the pen
cil-pushers which they will not be
slow to appreciate and return
kind.
While the balance of the nation is
on the tip-toe of expectance and -he
wise ones are carefully forecasting
the result of next Tuesday’solcction,
in (Georgia a great many have for
gotten that there is an election on
that day in this state. The white
primary settled all that long ago,
except in one district, where a fami
ly row inside the party is being set
tled at the polls.
But every Democrat in Georgia
owes it to his party and its nominee
to go to the polls next Tuesday, and
east his vote for his party's choice.
The small vote polled at the
November elections in the South, U
often used by the Republicans in
Congress and elsewhere to misrep
resent the situation here.
If you arc a Democrat it is vour
duty, if you live in the Second Con
gressional District, to go to the polls
next Tuesday, November 8th, and
cast your ballot for your party's
nominee for Congress, Hon. S. A.
Roddenbery. The Gazette hopes
that Tift county will poll a compli
mentary vote for him.

Fire almost wiped out the entire

Monday morning before daybreak.
Starting from the kitchen flue in
the residence of Tom Colvin and

two-story building owned by Dr.
Hall, the second story of which was
used as a telephone exchange and
lodge room by the Masons and
Knights of Pythias.
Extending east an entire block of
two-story buildings was quickly
razed to earth.

There’s always another bridge to cross
And there’s another hill to climb,
There’s always something we’ve forgot
And something to bear in mind.
There’s always some duty to perform
And there’s a loss or gain,
Always some problem to be solved
Life’s lessons oe’r again.
Always longing for ideals grand
Ana some faded castle in Spain
And always somewhere a healing balm
For every sorrow and pain.
Always breath of a kindly word
Like pean of music afar
And above clouds but dimly defined
There’s gleam of a sentinel star.
Always a medley of meanings
And stretching of empty hands.
Yea, deep yearning of tne heart
That we may understand.
Sometime we’ll gather these tangled
threads
And weave into harmonious whole;
Some glory-crowned eternal day
Separate the dross and gold.

In the Terrell Countv Corn Contest,
a yield of 161 and 18-56 bushels to
the acre won first prize. It looks as
if the possibilities of South Georgia
soil were just being realized, even
by the men who cultivate it. A few
years ago, fifty bushels was consider
ed a phenomenal crop, and five years
ago, a Tift county farmer broke the
record with ninety-four bushels. In
it few years we expect to see one-
Mhndred bushels only a fair yield,
and two hundred and more a big
crop.
Some of these days the people of

Tick,.
Editor Ruralist:—1 notice in the
columns of your paper of August
15th two or three inquiries as to tick
fever. You advise to get rid of
ticks, which is quite a small job, if
anj one will abide by following in
structions. This recipe came out
sometime back in the Ruralist by A.
Thompson. I have given it a thor
ough test and find it to be quite ef
fective. Take 2 pounds of sulphur;
1 pound of copperas, and 1 pound of
saltpeter; mix thoroughly and to
this add 24 pounds of salt and place
it where the cattle can always have
access to it, and 1 And that the cat
tle will all be free from ticks in 20
or 30 days; give no other lick salt.
This recipe was furnished by Mr
Thompson; 1 don’t know his address,
if I did I most assuredly would write
him a enrd of thanks, as I consider
it worth hundreds of dollars to me
alone, so I had it published In our
county paper that others might
profit by the use of it.
