Tins is an enormous sum of money, equal to two-thirds of the value rtf the whole rnilrond sys tem of the country. A large part of these crops w ill he consumed 111 America. A large part will he ex ported . The foreign demand for hntli grain and cotton promises to he unusually heavy. This estimate is of the first of June, up to which time, though the spring had been somewhat bile, the growing conditions had I>etM) extremely favorable. It cov ers not one section or one State, hut the entire country ami is Imsed upon a law of averages. Taking the country nt large, the average condition of the crops Were never better Oil the first of June. This prophecy has done much to spread t hroughout the whole coun try a feeling of good cheer anil confidence, and already the etfeot is seen on t he course of commerce. Once more the farmer has saved the country from financial disas ter. Mut the farmer did not begin his work in June or May or April. When Wall Street was stricken wit h t In* panic the farmer went undisturbed about his own olTnirs, preparing for t he fut lire crops,pur chasing Ins supplies, getting his machinery in order, preparing his ground and putting hack into these preparations a large part ol the revenues of the preceding year. The farmer risks everything— capital and labor and land—on his faith in tin* early and latter rain; on his confidence m the law that whatsoever a man soweth that, shall he also reap. Some times t he seasons are unfavorable. Sometimes he is afflicted by drouth and overwhelmed hv flood; hut, taking it year after year, he hits come to understand thut there are certain laws of production which, it lu* musters fully and follows carefully, will bring him great re ward.—Home and Farm.

WOMAN’S HOME COMPANION FOR AUGUST The August issue of Woman’s Homs Companion is full of de lightful stories—just the right sort of 111 id-summer reading.

OLD-FASHIONED STATESMAN. The New York Evening Post re lates a characteristic incident ol Grover Cleveland’s career that will probably he new to most readers. Nothing that the de ceased statesman, unlike his suc cessor in the White House, was 11 man who kepi Ins own counsel, who did not encourage “gushing friends” to fill the press with tales of Ins own heroism, and who ‘‘had not discovered the art of attach mg newspaper correspondents to 1 himself, so t hat the conveniently veiled statement, the insinuation, the ‘feeler* might issue in unfail ing streams,” the Post says: “A striking instance in point was his bringing Croker and John C. Sheehan to heel in the cam ; paign of 1882. -Those worthies were refusing to do anything in support, of Cleveland until they | should have had pledges of patro nage from him. Mr. Whitney worried over the situation for weeks, and finally sent for Mr. Cleveland, lie came to New York, lunl an interview with Croker and Sheehan, and afterwards they worked hard for the ticket. Os ; course, the Republican newspa pers cried out that a ‘shameful ! bargain’ had been struck. Thev railed ut Mr. Cleveland for sur -1 rendering to Croker. As a matter jot' fact, he surrendered nothing. On the contrary, he told the Tam many chieftain that he was mak ing no promises to anybody, and would he d d if he would j make a single one to Croker: more over, that he would write an open letter to the national committee stat ing that Croker refused to sup port the party candidate, and offering to withdraw so that some j one subservient to Tammany might he named instead. This naturally floored Croker, who ! turned to Sheehan and said: ‘The I old man is right.’ Rut all this was kept secret by Mr. Cleveland, lie told one or two friends what, had actually occurred, hut, pub licly, said nothing, and allowed nothing to he said, submitting quietly to the storm of misrepre sentation and abuse. We can see how far away we have got from that sort of reserve when we im agine what use Theodore Roose velt would have made of such an incident . The country would have rung with the ‘confidential’ de tails. Rut of Mr. Cleveland, as of Lord Roberts, it. could be said *'K don’t advertise.’ That merely shows how obsolete he already ap pears.”—Macon Telegraph. PROHIBITION LAW IN GEORGIA SAFE. Reports from authoritative sourc •*s in Georgia indicate that there is no possibility of a repeal of the present prohibition law, nor is there any likelihood of the pass age of any weakening amendment. According to the figures of the officials of the Anti-Saloon League of Georgia, out of the thirty-nine members of the senate, twenty-six are in favor of the present law. and out of the l(fi) members of the house, 112 will stand hy prohibi tion. in a terrific rain ami electrical -lonn which passed over Cordele last week considerable property damage was done. Lon Peeler an employe of the city and four of the city’s mules, valued at two hundred dollars each, were killed instantly. The negro, witha num ber of street hands, had sought shelter from the storm in an un occupied house in the southern portion of the tity; the mules be came frightened and Peeler went out to quiet them, when the house j was struck hy lightning. Several negroes were stunned by the stroke. THE MONTGOMERY MONTTOR—THURSDAY, JUL Y 28. 1908. REV. DR. PICKARD WILL BE ATCLONGPOND. Rev. H. Turner Smith of Dub lin informs us that he closed a successful meeting at Garfield last week. He was aided hy Rev. Wheeler, the able mid beloved pas tor of Still more, ami Rev. Milo Massey, the affable and efficient pastor of Statesboro. Eight, ac cessions to the church was the re sult of the meeting. Mr. Smith is at Tarrytown this week assisting the pastor, Rev. S. D. Walker, in a series of meetings and we predict glorious results, ns both these laborers in the vine yard are forceful and earnest i speakers. The pastor and people of Ixing ! pond are delighted to know that Dr. W. L. Pickard, pastor First j Baptist church of Savannah will he with them at their approach ing meeting which begins Satur day before the 4th Sunday iu this month. Dr. Pickard is recognized as one of the most powerful pulpit orators in the South, and is great ly beloved wherever known. He j preached at Longpond more than twenty years ago. Large congre- I gations are expected. PREPARING FOR NEW CENSUS Preparations are already under way for the taking of the thir teenth census of the United States, which will he a prodigeous job. More than 70.000 people will be employed in the work, a large number of them for a long time, there will be some 65,00 enum erators, 5180 district supervisors and sdveral thousand clerks. The cost of the work is estimated at $14,000,000. The scope of the census will be more comprehen sive than ever before, and will in [dude statistics of the United j States, Alaska, Hawaii, Guaam, Samoa, Porto Rico and the Canal | Zone.

Very little can be accomplished for Georgia by newspapers con stantly referring to the recent j campaign for governor, the one j side referring always to the “tem | porary defeat” of Gov. Smith’s | policies and the other side con jstantly reminding their readers |of the unfortunate conditions brought about by the administra tion now in power, The majority has spogen and it will be a vear before the new ad ministration assumes charge of the j affairs ol government, in the meantime, Georgia will do well to ; lend theiraid and encouragement jto the good the present adminis tration is seeking to do and to co 1 operate with those whose purpose is to build up the state and bring prosperity to its people. Two measures of far reaching importance, and perhaps the most important of all the questions af fecting the material welfare of Georgians since Gov. Smith caine into power are now being consid ered by the legislature. They are the extension of the state road to : the sea and the convict lease ques tion. Extending the state road was the leading plank in Judge Rus sell’s campaign forgovernor and has the strong endorsement of Governor Smith at the present itiine. No measure deserves more, careful consideration and we feel sure none will meet with mon hearty approval than this one among all the measures now he fore the people. The convict lease system has long been a rotten sore ami needs s|K-edy and heroic treatment. Wo see nothing in its favor and the Inert that the leasing of convicts, is injurious to the farmers and Isltorers of the state in that it brings oonyict lal>or into compe tition with them. (resides, Ireing wrong in principle, should besuf-i ticieut to bring an end to the sys tem. The roads of Georgia ueed | the attention of the iaw makers. Let us help to build up and for get the campaign.—Sandersville Herald. MAY NOT RECOVER.
