The advanced value of farm 'and* In South Carolina and North Laroima la forcine many ijen of anororai- means to seek locations elsewhere, and us a consequence numbers of them have been attracted by the reasonable price of lands m South Georgia. With in tide past three mouths a huge n jm- her of Carolina farmers have been prospecting dlong the line of the Geor gia & t..oiiva Railway, which has opened u-:> a new and rich territory, and over 8,000 acres have been sold m small tracts in the vicinity of Denton and Garrant alone, while many ot.uers have bought at other points. Not a day passes which does not see a party of prospectors going through Augusta on the way to South Georgia.—Indus trial Index. ) Tl.<e general exodus of farmers into Georgia is one of the most striking features of Southern devciopement at thUVitr.3. The Whole country has sud- vlertly awakened to the fact, it would seem, that the most Inviting of all Southern flelda is Georgia, that here ; the lands are still cheap, the climate most attractive, and the general con ditions the most satisfactory of al. Southern states. It is Inevitable that there should be a tremendous in pouring of farm settlers wlthit» the next few years. While this Influx will reach all parts of the .state. soutJ and southwest Geor gia are naturally the sections that will receive Che most home seekers. And the counties that are meat active ta presenting their claims for consider ation, that, to use a commercial -phrase, get their wares to the aSteu tion of the possible customers, wili be the ones that mill quickest find their lands being taken up by the m'Oi*‘ desirable class of incomers. There is but one way to reap th- full benefits of the -movement that has begun, and that is byadvertising, by keeping the opportunities and advant ages that a coun‘y presents before Che public continuously. Sumter countv. especially gifted, offering opportunities that no other Georgia county excels, should not cease to herald its claims during the next year. The Board *>t Trade is on tide right track In devoting its attention to this great field. It Is the most promising avenue in which it can expend its money and its energies, the one that promises the quickest and most abundant results. knockers who only knock. “A local newspaper la absolutely necessary to any commuffity. lt may b* t.at the daily papers, -with their large news service and quicker facil ities. may have overrun the sma., weeklies but the -weeklies continue to lill a place that the dailies will never hi!- If they keep the peop.e of a community in touch with each ouaer bv giving them the news of their town and countv, for that alone they are o, vaiu * and are worth far moqp than tue dollar a '-ear Utn is paid ter it.

Verv few people iwlll ever go Inio the pecan growing Industry exclusive ly. because it takes too long to get -the first return on the investment. But people everywhere are .planting cf.-ade and ornaimenta! trees every year. Most of the trees they plant are 'worth'less tor anything except shade and orna ment. ’ Why not plant a few pecan tree, tl.bt will serve the purpose o! shade and ornament and at the same time help pay tbe grocery bill and the tax levy?—Pensacola Journal. The cry among many New York R ■- publicand now- is said to be "Give Sttmson the.ax and down with Roose velt for 1012.* It's hard on Sttmson, but that’s what he get’s for being Roosevelt's man Friday. New homes -and improvement of old homes tell th» story of the onwr.d march of the ctity. One thing we can all say proudly and truthfully, there Is no other city of the size of Americas in Georgia, and probably nowhere else t ln the South, that ha 3 -a prettier or more highly developed residence sec tion. The High School authorities a-c right in encouraging good clean sports among the boys. Athletics -will do much to elevate the tone of school life • provided they are held subordinate to the studies of the school. And tha authorities here arc not apt to let thfem run to Excess. "Woodrow Wilson denied absolutely • thlat the-e was any truth In a story told by Alfred N. Dalrymple, chairman of the Essex County Republican Com mittee, that he had made a deal by which he was to get the Democratic nomination for President in 1912, If ae would consent to be the candidate of that party for governor of New Jersey this year. It has 'been decided that deposed King Manuel shall lead a quiet life un til his health Is fully restored and that meanwhile his friends in Portugal un- dOrtake a vigorous political campaign In Which the supporters of Duke Michael of Braganza. the Pretender, will co-operate, to return as many Monarchist candidates as is possible at the elections. Def i- g Republican factions Wool- raw V son told a New Jenaey audi ence that “A standpa:’*? Is one who stando s ill and can’t ' a started; a progioacive is one who is started and can’t ha stopped. Tl'e ctindpatter has come tv believe that there is some necessary connection lotween himself and public office. He is plainly un balanced.” There is a good suggestion in the above for property owners and muni cipalities. The pecan treo Is one of teia moat beautiful of’shade trees. Giving ample space in which to develop it grows Into a tali, well proportioned, magni ficent specimen, casting an ample Shade in the summer aT.d dropping Its leaves In time for the genial ray3 of the winter sunshine to be appreciated. An avenue of pecan trees would be Bard to excel iu attractiveness. ’ ^ The man twho is building a home, or the man Who already has a 'horn.' might we'.l put out a pecan tree or two in front of it, or several of them on tbo grounds, not with the purposs of securing 'a financial return, but for the dual purpose of affording shade and securing an ample supply of a very nutritious and palatable nut far his family and 'his friends. A street lined with pecan trees in ten or fifteen years would be. an cspec ially inviting thoroughfbre. The tree Is far superior to the sycamore In ev ery respect, preferable In many ways to tbe elm, and the only objection that can be urged Is eh'at bad boys might throw sticks into It to get the nuts And inasmuch as all men were once boys that slight objection should nvt prevail against the many advantages such trees offer for tbe adornment of the public streets and private lots. The man who marries a woman for her money, ami the woman who mar ries a man to reform him are Just about paired. The fellow who marries his tailor's daughter may be merely proving that there can be no perfect love without trust Frequently some hypercritical per son, who has no sense of perspective, criticises -the papers published in small towns and institute*? unfavorable com parison with those In larger commun ities. One might as well compare the unpaved st'eets of the country tc,wn with the asiUa't boulevards of Wash ington or the one 6tory brick village business house with* the latest Broad way house of trade, or the little cross loads bauk with its *10,000 capitll with tlhe Standard Oil’s National City Bank of the metropolis. As a matter of fact the newspapers are generally fully on a parity wltr the towns in which they -are published. Given a town where the .people are working a unit, are progressive in spirit, ambitious, pushing, determined, eager to promote every enterprise in tended to develop, and full of that public spirit that does things, and one is sure to find a newspaper vibrant with the same spirit, eager to push ahead, expending more of Its means and its energies thin the conditions' actually -warrant. Where conditions are reversed t.ie newspaper is more than apt to soon reflect the town spirjt. In a larger de gree than most'people are willing to acknowledge the newspaper is real y tbe mirror of the community life and split. • The local newspaper is of far great er vahle to the community than any piper, no matter how pretentious, Cio.v large, and how enterprising that is published elsewhere. The trouble too often is that tbe people wbo “knock ’ the local newspaper spend more mon ey on out of town papers than they do on the home paper and then wonder why it does mot flourish like tbe prov erbial green bay tree. The same peo ple, as a general rule, *re found knocking every public project that comes up. They get saturated with the knocking spirit and simply can not help exercising it at the expense of tthe place In which they live. The Georgia newspapers as a whole are full of push and energy, are de voted to their state, their counties anil their tc-wns. No agencies are working harder for home development, for Im proved local. and general conditions, for the betterment of .business and the upbuilding of city and country, than the men who runs the papers of the state. All too frequently thee- work cgaln?t discouragement, override, captious criticism, Ignore discordant elements that war against progress, plead and work for -unity and give more time and more money for the cultivation of public spirit than any dozen of thOBe •who, instead of pulling and pushin with tbe paper. Joining forces with in promoting the public welfare, -pur sue the dog in tlhe manger policy cf doing nothing themselves and snap ping at those wbo are seeking to do something. All credit is due to the newspapers of Georgia, daily and .weekly, for the •part they are playing In the state’s onward march. The praise that is given them is frequently all too scant for the work they are doing. A lit tle encouragement now and then and less carping criticism is in order.

OHIO SEEMS TO LEAN TOWARDS DEMOCRATS Revision There Against Republican Rule. Columbus. O'.lib. Oct. 13- The pres- ca t political ’"situation' Is complex involved and —normal, for Ohio. The state has two avowed candidates tor the Presidency. The Democratic State convention, which nominated Judson Harmon for governor, also In dorsed him for President In 1912. The Republican State convention Indorsed President Taft for nomination for President two years lienee. Ti*se in dorsements have a direct bearing on tbe present campaign. The members of the legislature who will be elected In November will return Charles Dick to the United States Sen ate, or some other man in hie place. TWLs Is a most potent factor in Influ encing the minds of the voters as to the ballots they will deposit In Novem ber By common consent, both Lie Republicans and the Democrats are leaving two topics of pubHc and polit ical concern severely alone. They ace not saying anything about tbe Scn- .atorship, and they are keeping the liquor Issue suppressed. Two yeaia a - 0 prohibition was a factor in bring ing about the election of Harmon, b it it is such an uncertain problem, and so splits up the voters, that neither ■party is anxious to revive it. By tacit agreement, the contest over the SenaitorsWp has been defe-- rod until after election. There will be half a score of candidates to succeed Dick, whichever party wins and the politicians are looking forward to a contest before the legislature -whlcn will be epochal In the politics of the state. United Behind llarmnn. The Democrats have the present ad vantage over the Republicans, so fai as the state ticket Is concerned. They are united behind Harmon, who has ! made an excellent record as governor The party is better organized, one is told, than ever before. For the ft ret time In a great many years there w '1 be a Democratic organization In each countv in the state. Nor arc funds lacking to conduct the campaign. The party vw as united upon the expediency amt wisdom of renominating Harmon. There wa3 no question about'it, an l the governor is undeniably making rn effective campaign for re-election. He is speaking somewhere nearly every day, and is confining himself to state issues, {inly once or twice has he referred, and then casually and eidentally, to the new tariff law, which is concededly a cause of Republican disaffection In the state. <V>v. Harmon has lalkcA about the Republican grait which hH been exposed during his administration in tlio slatehousc and in some of the county offices. He is pointing out where he his increased the efficiency and raised the tSne oT the state administration. Nominated By n Fluke. On tho other side, Warren G. Hart- ing, the Republican candidate for gov ernor, was nominated by a fluke. His nomination was dictated by George B. Cox, the Cincinnati bos3, as a pie-c of personal revenge directed agate t Senator Burton and tho progressive element. The fact that he was nom- 1 inated through the efforts of Cox is causing Mr. Harding no little emlba'- r.assment. At the Republican state co l- vention in 1904, in nominating Cox to j be one of the delegates-at-large to the Republican national convention, Har- 'ding said of the Cincinnati boss: “He has elevated his head high above the storm of calumny and abuse and won his way to a trus'ted place in the -party, and we yield deference and devotion to George B. Cox, of Hamil ton county.” This is -being contrasted with Mr. Taft’s speech at Akron on October 21, 1905, when he said: ‘The government under the Cox machine is constantly described as a very corrupt one. Such a government generally begets cor ruption. The Importance of suppress ing open and notorious graft In order to prevent defeat at the polls la known to the engineer of the machine, and he has perhaps exercised his power to suppress the Inevitable tendency In sucki a machine. - “The condition I* one of absolute helplessness on the .part of aniy inde pendent Republican seeking to take part in politic# and to act independ ently of the machine; and the distress ing effect is now seen upon all the young men, ambitious politically, as It either drives them out of politics and deprives the public of their iprobab’y valuable service, or if they go into politics, they must subordinate them selves to the tyranny of the boss.” . Mr. Harding Is being asked whether he still yields “'deference and devo turn” to the men thus castigated by President Taft. Tbe Republican can didate does not find It an easy ques tion to answer.
