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 nent organization.

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. _ . , , , . turned to hi* home In TyTy.

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 ed “Education Day,” short talks by Gov ernor Hugh Dorsey and Commissioner J. J. Brown being features. Both the •peaken praised the progreasiveness of Cook county people and complimented the community spirit so apparent in every de partment of the fair. m One would never know this is Cook <ohnty’s initial fair. Ife presents a better appearance than some fair running an nually for several years. The exhibits back up the claim made for Cook by Dr. R. C. Woodard that anything worth eat ing or teeing can be produced in the new county, which aince ita creation has not fallen down on a single proposition tend ing to advance the interests of the people. While Wednesday was a big day and If,' Thursday will be aether, Friday is be ing looked forward to by every one as it is then the creation of Cook county will be observed. Members of the General As , aembly of 1010 have been invited to at tend and talks will be delivered by Ham L. Oliver, president of the State Senate aud Senator W. H. Dorris, of Cordele. a staunch supporter of the Cook .*ounty movement.

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? * th: lUCD-CLASS POST- \ f OFFICE FOR TY 1 t was a long time comink but it e at last Ty Ty is nbw * third-ell TY third-class itoffice, having an almost living salary, it, etc., and something over to help out salary of a clerk.

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.

Boris, Committee REMARKABLE OCCURRENCES ^ “Hie American Remenlbrancter and Universal Tablet of Memory,” is part of the title of a little book published in Phil- 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.
