A COMING INDUSTRY.
A League of Counties instead of a lague of
municipalities is the name given the organiza
tion formed at a meeting in Valdosta last month
which is to hold its second meeting in Thomas-
ville Thursday night for the purpose of perma

The National Nut-Growers Association open
ed its annual three-ady session in Albany Wed
nesday.
On the program are many men of national re
nown as well as many leaders in the industry.
Among those of national prominence are Sena
tor Fletcher, of Florida; Senator Ransdell, of
Louisiana, and Senator Watson, of Indiana, as
well as experts from the National Department
‘of Agriculture, and university professors from
several of the Western and Southwestern states.
Nut-growing has won place among the re
cognized and profitable industries of this sec-
| tion. It is not a new industry, for many of
our pecan groves are a quarter of a century old,
but it has gone through the various experi
mental stages, the years of loss and discou
ragement, and with the experience the past has
given, now offers a means of assured profit to
those engaging therein.

Adel, Oct. 1C.—Cook county, not yet
ten month* old, is staging one of the beat
county fairs of over a score given in
Georgia to date. It is one of the beat
from every viewpoint and if many of the
fain yet to be held surpass it, the county
going ahead of Cook will have to put on
aome show. The fair Wednesday observ

ernor Hugh Dorsey and Commissioner
J. J. Brown being features. Both the

Cook county people and complimented the
community spirit so apparent in every de

appearance than some fair running an

R. C. Woodard that anything worth eat

county, which aince ita creation has not

pastor of the First Baptist church of

the congregations at the First Baptist
church iu Tifton, while Dr. C. W. Dur

Dr. Haymore talked t» the Baptists
Sunday morning on the need of people
consecrating their lives to the service of
God. He said he waa more interested fa

LET I I BE COMPULSORY
When inoculating hogs for cholera is
made compulsory, as dipping cattle was,
'we may get rid of bog cholera, but not
before. A. year or two ago, it looked
as if the disease might be eradicated.
Every raiser of hogs, it seemed then, was
having the animals inoculated, but enough
were left to spread the disease, and now
hogs are dying of cholera all around us.
It is usually that way. unless the law
compels people to adopt a measure.
There Is always some careless person who
will think “What’s the use?” When he
sees every other man having hia hogs in
oculated, he thinks hia ojvn will escape,
and so they are left to infect others. And
then, qnaybe, when he sees his error, he
will “get busy,” but there is always some
body else to take hia place.
Why should not inoculation be com
pulsory? *

AGAIN THE HEEDLESS DRIVER
As Dr. Pittman, his wife and their two
smoll children were returning from Sum
ner Sunday afternoon, they met a car
driven by a man from Lenox—a man
named Hutchinson, with whom there were
four other men.
It was at a sharp turn in the road
near the home of Mr. R. O. Sumner, and
the other car was on the wrong side of
the road nud. was going very rapidly.
As soon as Dr. Pittman saw the car ,be
made a quick turn in an effort to get out
of the way and this probably saved the
lives of some of the passengers. Both
cars were badly damaged and tbe passen
gers were considerably bruised. Mrs.
Pittman wont of all, but her injuries
were not so serious as at first supposed.
She is not confined to her room..
That there was no loss of life was not
due to tha driver of tile Lenox car.
When cars go at breakneck speed on the
left side of the road, without sounding
the horn, an accident is likely to happen.
It does seem that everything that could
be said or written about reckless driving
and every appeal for the enforcement of
the automobile laws—everything possible
has been done by the press, but avoidable
accidents continue to happen. It does
not appear in the early history of rail
roads that curelcssness waa the cause of
accidents, and there is no reason why au
tomobiles should be more excusable. A
*ast age must be responsible for such in-
difference to k the destruction *of life,
human as well aa brute.

delphia in 1795. This book, found among
the second-hand stock of a bookstore in
New York, announces in a bold hand on
one of its fly leave* that it ia “Wm, 8in*i
gleton's book—Aug. 1796.” A section ia
devoted to “Remarkable Occurrences,”
and among these occurrences ia this, which
may truly be described a* “remarkable”
'A prodigious number of snake* form
ed themselves into two boffiea, fn tf plain,
near Tournay, in France, and fought
with such fury, that one of the parties
was almost destroyed, and the others were
afterward* killed br peasants in 1059.”
And we thought the twentieth century
was famous for snake stories.
Here is another “remarkable occur
rence” of a different kind—
“Solway Moss, nsar Carlisle, in Eng
land, began to swell, owing to heavy rains,
and upwards of 400 acres of it) rose to such
a height above the level of the ground,
that at last it rolled forward like a tor
rent, and continued its course above
a mile, sweeping along with it houses, trees
and svery thing in its way; it then divid
ed info Islands of different extent, from
one to ten feet, upon which were found
hares, wild fowl, etc. It covered nearly
600 acres at Nctherly. the place to which
it moved, and in its progress destroyed
30 small villages. It continued Its mo
tion from Saturday to Wednesday, De
cember 31, 1771.”
Think what a mercy it was that we
were not all swept away after our rains,
this summer, to "destroy villages and
form jslands.”
That seemed to be a time of migra
tory land, for this was recorded of tbs
decade following that:
“A large plantation in the Island of
Barbadoes, with all its buildings, des
troyed by the lands removing from a for
mer seat to another and covering every
thing in its way, October 16, 1784.”
Somebody, maybe William Singleton,
bad marked this with a lead pencil—
surely tboagh, not because he considered
it remarkable above all the other*, for
many of them excel it
This book was published by private
subscription, and a list of the subscrib
ers is published on tbe last pages. There
are about six hundred of these, and
among them appear the names, of John
Adams (at that time Yice-Prerident of
the United States), and Benjamin Frank
lin, and others almost as famous. Wash
ington was living at that time, but the
author, James Hardie, A. M., makes but
brief mention of Washington, who lived
about four years after the book waa pub
lished.
The “American Remembrancer ayd
Uni venal Tablet of Memory” contain*
only 243 pages, 5x3 inches, but it in*
eludes, the*author tells us, “A list of the
most eminent men, whether in ancient or
modern times, with the achievements for
which they were particularly distinguish
ed, aa also the most memorable events in
history from the earliest period till the.
year 1775,. classed under distinct heads,
with their respective dates. To which i*
added a table comprehending the periods
at which the most remarkable cities and
towns were founded, their present popu
lation, latitude and longitude.”
“Multum in Fariro,” he aaya. Yea-
verily.
