Properly enforced, the new Georgia law regulating the carrying of pistol?, will go a long way toward eliminating the pistol toter who has brought so much disgrace upon the state in the past when he got his pistol had some mean whisky mixed up with an oj grudge or some fancied Insult.

The best sources of pure blood are pure food, pure air, (normal exercise, pure water, sunshine and optimism, with a morning shower .barn for a tonic. Roosevelt, assuming to stand for principle, adapts his principle to local politics and special needs—the man seems incapable of following any uni form policy. That is the view the Jacksonville Times-Union entertain*. Having carefully studied the genus feminine the Thomasville Enterprise has reached the conclusion that the woman who fas passed through the want-ta-be-a-nurse stage is well on the road to matrimoney or splnste-- hood.

In such an event the man can provide Mmseif. if the Is a respectable citizen, with a license and furnish the neces sary bond not to use the pistol in an unlawful -way. But this class of cit izens form a very small minority of those who habitually go armed. Ninety per cent, of the pistol toters could not secure a license or furnish thie bond required. Such men, then, would be in danger all the time of being picked up and punished for violation of tbe lav. From them some very desirable re cruits for the road working gangs might be secured. The weakness of this old law was that it permited the carrying of a pis tol exposed.

Editor Edmonds, of the Manufacturers' Record, discussing th's matter, recently- said to a Baltlmor. Sun Rejiorter: The improvement made In Southern agricultural conditions in the iast 10 yeara has been remarkable. With tie development of diversified farming and tlie growth in live stock greater at tention has :teen given .to increasils the fertility and productivity of the soil. This is illustrated in the fact that ip tire old states, such as North and South Carolina, Che average yield cotton per acre la now in excess oi the yield In Texas, with all the virgin fertility of the soil. There ls a marked Improvement not only in the number of live stock, but In the breeding. Th s is especially true us to -hogs and cat tle. In sheep raising the South is u making much progress, though ad mirably adapted tor sheep. -Secretary Wilson is unquestionably orrect in taking the ground that the production of lire stock Iras not kept pac*. with the growtih of the country, tor it 'S true in th^ country as a who'e r.3 weil as of the South, that the 1 crease In live stock has not been pro- .portionate to the Increase in popula tion. He is also correct in his state ment that) he cutting up of the greV- ranches of the West and Southwest has changed tbe conditions of cattle growing. The country can no longer look to the prarles of the West nor of Texas, tor nearly every big cattle ranch- in Texas is being cut up into small farms which are being bought up by tens ot thousands of Western iieople, for Its ■supply of live stock.,Tbe only hope of an increase commensurate with tbe increasing consumptive requirements of our growing population will be not on ranches, but on small farms where the individual farmer increases even by a few head tht number of cattle, sheep'an-d swine. -Rapid progress is being made in many portions of the South, .and in thie mountain regions, where the razor-back hog formerly held sway, a better breed is being in troduced, and the number Is being Jargely increased. In the Central South the same conditions are true. Front every part of the cotton-growing regions the reports show a very great increase In llv e stock this year over 'last year: just as this year will shov such a phenomenal increase In grain production over last year. The attempt that has beeto persist ently made to discredit Gov. Brown s democracy is merely a continuation of t-iie old political tactics of the Atlanta Journal. Gov. Brown has refused ’o dally avow allegiance to a party to which his loyalty has never been ques tioned. His one utterance 1s ample. Said he:“I api an organized Democrat and I went into the primary in goo-3 faith. I sha-ti vote an open ticket a: Marietta and anyone who wants to see me do it can be tiare.
