Hot air will be still more plentiful now that Rosevelt's on tour. The candidates may now crawl out from under the big land-slides. 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 conservative BroWn by what was a THE PASSIM; OF DOG-DAYS.

Some are waiting to be authorized by their respective state legislatures, where thJe boards of health have not themselves the right to take such steps. But so much h';,s already been done as to apprise all the people of tiie country of tile fact that thinking people are becoming aroused to the necessity of doing away with these public instruments for the scat tering of disease. In some of the schools of Georgia alreAly. notably the Chatham Academy at Savannah, the sanitary drinking fountain, which is as nearly free from tile disease-scattering feature of the public drinking cup, as modern science lias been able to devise, has replac’d the public cup.

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?
