North Georgia poultry fanciers 1 area progressive lot. They are j having barbecues where chicken' alone is the prepared viand.! None of your old-fashioned ixjef and bread lor them. The Confederate Veterans of Georgia are in |x>ssossion ol the city of Rome today. And they will be treated royally, as every newspaper man knows. We have; been to Homo dnd speftk I rom j experience. If all the dintinguiahed sons! who are “considering” get, into, the gubernatorial crush, it will take all the powers of a simple-1 minded voter to tell whether to i class the race <r *te ot the stick or hobble skirt variety. The passing of Clara Barton, i founder of the lied Cross Society, i will remove one of America’s greatest and most beloved char acters. No woman m this coun-! try has done more to relieve suf-! ferlng humanity than Clara Bur-1 ton. We would Ih> glad for every farmer in Montgomery county to see ihe South Georgia Land ami Agricultural Imposition at Tis ton, Sept. 27th to Oct, 7th. This ' will be a grand display of South Georgia’s wealth and products, j and an object k-i.-ou beyond os- 1 timate. The remnant of a colony. 211 in number, of former residents of! Georgia and Florida, reached Now Orleans last week, having j been rescued tiom pestilence and j starvation at t.Viba, Honduras. How much better to have re-j nmined in the garden spot of the universe, South Georgia. The governors of 26 sovereign ! states stood on the ramparts of j Fort Hancock hist week and j watched the big guns on Sandy • Hook hurl 1000 lb projectiles at 1 canvas targets. They, probably' all went home bettor prepared to I throw hot shot into the ranks of j their opponents than before. It is a matter ot very small! con si'iiuence whether the aero- j planes lly high or tly low at the j State Fair in Macon. Fvery ! fanner ought to see the exhibits of farm products and farm ma chinery. The lesson will l*o of ■ far more practical benefit than great volumes of dry agricultural literature. The newly elected convict war den and superintendent of roads for Montgomery county has -a i huge oh on his hands. A ride over the county will show most of the roads badly washed by the recent floods. Don’t begin toi eiltiei/e His ork, but K‘t evovy citi/on lend a helping hand toj remedy existing conditions. Much ot our space last week was taken up with bank state-; merits, every bank in the county required to make quarterly state ments being represented •by a creditable showing. Our readers of the Bank ot Soperton in put ting before the public their re- IKirt in exU'nded and artistic form. Savannah is waging a schedule wir against the Seaboard 'Air Line v a change of passenger trains, and Amerieus arises in wrath to protest against a change. We do not mean to be naughty; but, as we stand on half- way grounds, we arc won dering if some wag will not hop up ami say we are “twixt the. devil and the deep blue seal” j V d now comes H. E. Blakes- Li. commissioner of agriculture of tii*- l- <■<- it state of Mississippi, nod says the boll weevil is a great blessing in disguise, and when they get to Georgia they will teach us diversification of crops that will stay taught. And ail this, after we are trying our utmost to get ready to stop the P'--t >n the banks of the Missis ; pi. As you did not tell us , . r, Mr. Blakeslee, you can mst, keep the weevils. IS GEORGIA LIVING 100 FAST? Last week at Dublin, Hon. !<« I! i' ll addressed' the citi zen: of Laurens county, and his ; ri was directed against the prop ■ ed amendment to the con n m allowing the governor io no row s.’>( 10,000, and toanoth ■r amendment requiring certain corporations to pay theit taxes at an earlier date than other tax- I payers. Mr. Hall occupies a unique po sition as a legislator, having served as a member of the house k nger than any other member, and fought continuously and per astently against extravagance in h iiiat ter of the state’s finances, lie !.. long been a terror on the Ha of the house lo members of -mailer calibre who come with a a-s to get the state’s money. Some assertions of Mr. Hall in w Dublin speech should be read : , w tv taxpayer, as they con ■ ,i facts that go to show that a-- ■ ending each year the a I-' . a t hat should be left for the ■ ,pen ses of the next year just p- a ding each year’s revenue the year before we get it. Mr. Hall says: Ti.< appropriations of the leg iiv exceed the revenue of 5 ■ the dollar together with, a rental of the state road. Now Few all is to allow the governor ", burrow S,7tHi.ooo to meet the appropriations made by the leg iattui. It gives the governor iln poWi r to Imutow money for this y< ur's expenses to he paid out of next year’s revenues, cut ' down that revenue by that much. The people must stop it or the debt will grow into a b mli.nl debt and the people will be overburdened. la. taxes for the support of 1 th. government next year are i ileeted this year. When the t.i■-.*•> are collected in October i ..ri of tlie money is used to pay t ; u current year’s expenses. “It is time that the appropria s are brought within the rev enue stop spending part of next ear’s money this year, and keep | money in the treasury to meet ! expenses. Send men to the legislature v, ~ i will consider the tax payers lot men who are concerned i • e nit getting into the j treasury. Ma > counties get more j ■ • ■ :e . back in {tensions, school appropriations than I tie \ pay into the treasury in i t axes. “t u present tinancial condi - n of the state comes alxmt by Lad financial management.” Sav-mr-ah News; A Chicago, :an chose to spend a night in ail. explaining that he wanted a! Might's rest, that his wife talked i a talked, and did it again and again for thirteen years, and that he Wanted the peaceful quiet of : a cell. And yet there are jx>r m‘!is who believed that Mr. Can-! die was a creature of fiction.

SECT. 21, 1911. , ► A ► From tint Mouth 2 1 ► A ► of Georgia Press « ► a •AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Senoia Enterprise-Gazette:— Governor Smith followed Govern or Brown’s position on the West lernand Atlantic Railroad lease proposition. The Journal kicked and snorted to beat the hand j when Brown left it with the com- ( missioners. Wonder what, it will have to say now! Laurens County Herald: —lt looks as if Georgia is going to have a gubernatorial race within a gubernatorial race this year. A primary for Jackson county alone has been suggested to de cide which of the county’s three candidates for governor she can best spare. Dublin Courier-Dispatch: You must not kill your own game or get a friend to do so for you. You cannot buy birds without aiding in a law violation. That is a fool provision of the new game law that no jury will aid in enforcing. Atlanta Georgian:—One Geor gia vine yielded a car load of pumpkins. Just merely another reason why you should invest your money in Georgia soil. Darien Gazette:—Mr. Bryan says he doesn’t know of anything that could happen to make him run for the presidency again. Ho ! would run all right if he thought he could get the nomination, even . if he thought a fourth defeat ' stared him in the face. Americas Ti mes-Recorder: Several exchanges regard At-: lanta’s wonderful self control in not calling for the lynching of the clerks who hailed up the city charter, and other bills, as little short of marvelous. > Valdosta Times: Uncle Sam , is building two battleships that will put him ahead of Germany and next, to England in strength on the high seas. Uncle Sam , sends big delegations to the Hague conferences, and he backs up their work at home by keeping his powder dry. Nashville Herald:—Wish every county in Georgia had a superin tendent of public schools like Berrien’s, He says no teacher j can get a job in Berrien who does not subscribe for the county paper. Cleveland Plain Dealer: —lt is stated that a Georgia railroad hasi been assessed SIO,OOO for killing a hog. Ordinarily, those Georgia j trains are run so slowly that they gently push aside the va grant cattle aad wayward porkers which stay upon the tracks, and it is rare indeed that accidents happen. In the present case, the penalty must have been imposed for overspeeding. Savannah has let the contract for a new hotel to lie erected at the corner of Bull and Congress streets, where the old Screven j House stands, the new building to esst about $370,000. !
