The pendulum of popular sentiment
has swung to tine other side, and Hoke
Smith has been swept back into the
gubernatorial chair by as large or a
larger majority than was given to
Governor Brown two /ears ago. The
people of Georgia have spoken and
have spoken emphatically in favor of
another term for Mr. Smith. Every
citizen of the state, without reference
to partisan, feeling, will concur in the
verdict of the people and will. give
hearty support to Mr. Smith's admin
istration.
Time and again the trend of popular
thought has been compared to tint rise
and fail of the wave, and never has
this been better illustrated tiuan in the
course of political sentiment in Geor
gia during the past four years. • Mr
Smith went into office in 1906 on the
crest of a wave of radical thought
which was extremely marked. Two
years later he was brushed aside by

the public drinking cup should be ab

taken steps to officially abolish the

authorized by their respective state
legislatures, where thJe boards of

to take such steps. But so much h';,s
already been done as to apprise all the

thinking people are becoming aroused
to the necessity of doing away with
these public instruments for the scat

In some of the schools of Georgia

-COTTONSEED OIL.
\( Washingtln Post.)
Jt is now claimed by the people of
the South' that the seed from the cot
ton plant yields a superior salad oil
to that produced from the fruit of the
olive tree. Here is what one author
ity has to say about it:
• The winter pressed cottonseed oU
which is used for salad oil is supeifiir
to either ‘olive oil or peanut oU, as It
is more, easily digested and wilt hoi
ferment in tue stomach. A mayon
naise salad dressing male from cot
tonseed -oil will stand up for two
weeks—a record tout no other oil
has.”
And the following statement is a’-
ieged to have beeij mode by Dr. Har
vey AV. Wiley, chief of the bureau of
chemistry of the United States de
partment of agriculture.
“Cot ouseed oil is the most whole
some, palatable, nutritious eookin
salad and tab e oil. No ( other oil
known begins to hold the rank that
cottonseed oil does, nor has it the fu
ture cottonseed oil has."
French and Italian dealers iq salad
oils have long known the virtues of
cottonseed oil, and every year Im
mense cargoes of cottonseed oil are
exported abroad to enter the channels
of trade under label as olive oil sucu
as that whith conspired with Falern-
ian ea seduce Hannibal at Capua from
Jhia nearly successful enterprise of
becoming master of tbe world.
If cottonseed should put olive oil
out of trade, it will prove of immense
material advantage to our country,
especially to the cotton South. As a
substitute for butter and lard in the
culinary world cottonseed oil is used
in immense quantit'es. Its superiority
in the making of cake is- ac
knowledged wherever it has been tried,
and it beats hog's lard out of sight :n
the making of biscuit. Year by year,
month by month!, -day by day, the
use of cottonseed oil for culinary pur
poses Increases. The mystery is, why
does it not work to reduce the price of
butter and lard, which are higher/to
day than ever before at this Reason
of the year?
A new cotton planter has been In
