Culling from Leading A tKS2St^| Dublin Times : Talk about lively politics in the olden days— they didu’t get out of the blue back speller if the present brand is considered. Dublin Times: There is one consolation—the fellow who voted for the defeated candidate doesn’t feel as bad as the defeated candi date himself. Savannah Press: Northern Pa cific trains were held up yester day by a landslide. Some po litical trains in Georgia were held up the same way. Savannah Pross: Twenty-four years ago North Carolina voted against prohibition ; now it goes the other way. Still, says a North Carolina paper, the stills will not be still. Atlanta Constitution: A Chic ago minister is going to establish a “courting room” for love-sick couples. The idea is not original. It. was suggested by the private divorce room in the Illinois courts. Atlanta Constitution: There is consolation in the reflection that the climax in the baseball season is vet to come and that the peek-a-boo has not yet reached its most ravishing de velopment. Savannah Nows: The most fa mous horse alive is stabled in Washington. He has thrown Roosevelt; a good, fair throw, m two feet of water. A horse able to do that ought to command the very highest market price. ' Dublin Times: It is rather un likely, as has been suggested,that Mr. Bryan will refuse to accept the nomination for president if he should be again selected ns the Democratic standard bearer at Denver. The nomination for the presidency is not a small honor and few men could be expected to decline it. Savannah News: Mr. Bryan entertains so high a regard tor John Mitchel, formerly president of the United Mine Workers,that he is said to lmve mentioned Mr. Mitchell’s name in connection with second place on the Demo cratic national ticket. But it seems Mr. Mitchell is not a can didate for that position. Ho would prefer to begin his political career as Governor of Illinois. A few days ago, it is said he held a long conference with Roger C. Sullivan of Chicago, the Demo cratic leader in Illinois, and after wards stated that, he would an nounce at the Federation of Labor meeting at Springfield on June 15 whether he would offer for the governorship nomination of the Democratic party. Mr. Sullivan it will lie recalled, is the national committeeman that Mr. Bryan some short, while back tried to kick out of the party. Would Mr. Bryan join hands with Mr. Sullivan in support of Mr. Mitch ell? Atlanta Constitution, in n lead ing editorial in its issue of Fri day morning last, says: “Fertile first time in the history of Geor gia, indeed, for tho first time in the history of the notion, a Gov ernor and his policies have been rejected after one term by the same party which placed him in power. “The sowing of the wind has brought its harvest, and the whirl wind of protest has swept th** state. “Unlocked -for, unexpected, scarcely believed within the bounds of possibility, that result has couie teeming with ;» signifi cance that expands as thought dwells upon it. until thought it self is lost still in incredibility. “There is no man in Georgia, be he supporter of Smith or Brown who was prepared for the over whelming force of the popular protest which has swept the state i “The inconceivable has taken - material shape and form; tho in • jcredible has become history. [ 4 But it will yet be at least a day before either side can come to , | full realization of what has hap j jpened. Until then, until the peo ple have had time to collect their reason and ponder calmly upon tho weighty moaning of the peo ple’s voices, discussion ol’ ihe sig nificance of the result would be j useless and out of place. ’j “The Constitution will, later, j discuss in detailed and analytical manner the meaning of the ver -1 diet, of yesterday’s primary, 4- In the meantime, it can only he said thnf the supreme will ot the people has been registered at the polls, and that will is n return in Georgia to sanity, justice ami conservatism. THE PRICE OF HOGS. j Home and Farm in the past 'twelvemonths has had much to say übout hogs and hog raising. Now read this item from the daily papers the first of the month. “Within a week hogs in the Kansas City market have advanc ed one dollar.” This advance has been due to jan increased demand and to too ! few hogs. Every farmer should raise hogs. jThey should ho well oared for. Get the breed best suited to your sur roundings, to your farm, and raise hogs. If you expect to make farming pay you will have to raise some thing more than one crop. The one-crop idea has played out. Raise cotton. Raise fruit. Raise stock. Raise alfalfa, but whatev er else yon raise, raise hogs.— Home and Farm. THE OTHER SIDE. “Do birds reason?” As much as some men. “ A good cow is worth her weight in butter.” Whose butter? We have seen butter so bad no oow would own it. “Do not turn the cattle into the alfalfa.” No; turn the alfalfa ipto the cattle; that is what it is 1 for. j “Farming is the one occupation that a man can engage in with limited moans, and be assured of a reasonable degree of suec e-s.” j That was writ ten by some city | farmer. Success on the farm de pends on tho farmer and the farm and is not to be taken for grant ed in advance. ] “Spring rains bring muddy roads.” Not if they have been built right. Muddy roads, dusty roads and roads full of ruts and holes are a disgrace to any county, and they cost more than the boll worm and the potato bug. j ‘‘The busy hen needs more at tention now than ever.” She idoes if you have a garden. “The cow that is inclined to hook others ought to have knobs jon her horns. Dee horn her. “Hogs seldom suffer from lack of drink.” Hogs of every kind suffer from too much drink of the wrong kind. “Chickens are better than cows.” No; each in its place is best, but |they are not competitors. Try ! both. ! “Europe takes 20 per cent of : the cotton seed oil production of jour country and 42 per cent of the !cotton seed meal production.” i Good; but it would be better if we kept more cottton prodtet at home. That is what Parrish Fur man did —.Home and Farm. j j Fob Sale—A good buggy and harness. Brice right, for a quick sale. Curtis Coleman, j ts Mt. Vernon, Ga.

REPPARD’S DEATH. The death of Mr. It. B Reppard at his home m Savannah a few ! days ago came as a shock to many jpeople throughout South Geor i gift who knew and loved him. 1 The fact that his illness liud been I of only a few hours’ duration amt j that it. was not considered danger- Jous before his death, made the | news the more sad t o It is friends, i Mr. Reppard was one of those ' whole-souled, genial men, en ; thusiastic in the cause of human ity, earnest in their devotion to God’s work, who accomplish jso much for their generation and ! who leave, when taken away, !such a feeling ot loss in the hearts of a great number of those win ■ have been made the better and tho stronger for their living. Mr. Reppard was specially well known as a Sunday School work orand it was in this field that his most lasting work was done. Him devotion to the cause of Christ has resulted in a greater work for the people than perhaps was ! realized during his life. 11 is zeal j knew no bounds of denomination and was not confined to the white people alone, but was spent for j the negroes us well as for those • of his own race. ! He will l»e greatly missed, as lie ! was greatly loved and unless his j place is taken by other worker*. ,as devoted as he to the uplift ol those about them, it will be long ; before the vacancy caused by lii • death cease to be' foit by the workers in this important purl of the church’s work. KILLED AT EASTMAN. Eastman, Gn., May 29. —Mr. S A. Jones was shot and instantly j killed tonight at 7 :80 o’clock by Gus Ragan at the latter’s stables. There were no eye witnesses, i but the trouble is said to have j grown out of the driving of a j horse by Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones i leaves a wife and six children. Mr. Ragan is a single man. Both parties are members of Dodge county’s best families and are j largely connected on both sides. Ragan is now in jail. Raguu is in the livery stable i business and claimed that Jones ' had driven bis horse too bard to a picnic. Jones denied he had I done it and it is claimed that Ra gan cursed Jones. Jones struck Ragan and was instantly killed. ' Both parties belonged to promi nent families arid the unfortu nate affair is generally regretted. Ragan has heed arrested. j Your Every Needs !
