COLONEL "BILL” WEST
AS COTTON PICKER.
Valdosta. Ga., Sept 16.—C01.
“Bill" West, ex-president of the
state senate, wealthy farmer and
lumberman, has just returned
from his farm in the southern
part of this county, where he
found the fields white with cot
ton. Though nearly sixty years
of age, Col. West, in his eager
ness to get his cotton picked, put
on a cotton sack and went into
his field yesterday and "took two
rows at a time,” just as he did
when lu* was a l»oy.
In one hour he gathered twen
ty-five pounds and the next hour
and fifty minutes addin! forty-two
more pounds to his pile, which
was a rate of three hundred
1 paunds a day. That equals the
; lH*st hand in his field, and the
i Colonel believes that with a lit
tle practice he could keep up the
lick all day. He is sore from
stooping over so much, but his
presence in the field and his
quick gait put ginger into the
other pickers, and an immense
amount was gathered,

The Ailey Ginnery has been
thoroughly overhauled and now
running in full blast Bring nie
your cotton, and get satisfaction.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, SEPT. 21, 1911.
TOMATO AND POTATO
CANNED BY THE COURT.
Modern statesmen may have
cigars named after them, or even
school buildings, but the day
when a negro baby carries dis
tinguished cognomens is passed.
The garden vegetable has the
call. Potato Cook and Tomato
Pittman, two negro boys who
got the can from Judge Calhoun
Monday morning for stealing
face powder, told proudly of the
origin of their names.
“Mine used to be Ben Hill,”
said Potato. •
“And mine Alexander,” put in
Tomato, “but everybody was
getting fancy names, and so I
took Tomato.”
When questioned closely as to
the disposition of the face pow
ders, both insisted that Cabbage
Conley had it.- Atlanta Geor

EDUCATE THE MASSES.
Standing on Saxon foundations
and inspired, perhaps in some
degree of Latin examples, we
have done what no race, no na
tion, no age, had before dared
even to try. We have founded a
republic on the unlimited suffrage
of millions. We have actually
worked out the problem that
man, as God created him, may be
trusted with seif-government.
We have shown that a church
without a bishop and a state
without a king is an actual, real
every-day possibility.
Look back over the history of
the race, where will you find a
chapter that precedes us in that
achievement? Greece had her
republics, but they were the re
publics of a few freemen and
subjects and many slaves. The' -
battle of Marathon was fought
by slaves unchained from the
doorposts of their master’s
houses. Italy had her republics,
and they were republics of
wealth and skill and family, lim
ited and aristrocratic. The Swiss
republics were groups of cousins.
Holland had her republic, the re
public of guilds and land-hold
ers, trusting the helm of state to
property and education. And all
these, which at their best held
but a million or two within their
narrow limits, have gone down
in the ocean of time.
More than a hundred years ago
our fathers announced this sub
lime, and as it seemed then, fool
hardy declaration, that God in
tended all men to he free and
equal all men without restric
tion, without qualification, with
out limit. The years have rolled
away since that venturous declar
ation, and now, with a territory
that joins ocean to ocean, with
more than sixty millions of peo
ple, with two wars behind her,
with the grand achievement of
having grappled with the fearful
diseases that frightened her cen
tral life, and broken four millions
of fetters, the great republic,
stronger than ever advances in
the second century of her exist
ence. The history of the world
has no such chapter, in its
breadth, its depth, its signifi
cance, or its bearing on future
history.
What Wycliffe did for religion,
Jefferson and Samuel Adams did
for the state—they trusted it to
the people.— Wendell Phillips.
TRIALS OF A WATERMELON LOVER.
They were seated around the
table partaking of watermelon,
so the talk naturally turned on
the luscious fruit.
“It reminds me of a conversa
tion which took place between
two colored women,” said one of
the guests.
“ 'Um-a, but Ah certainly does
lobe watermelons,’ said one. ‘lt
sure does tickle mah palate. How
! does you like watermelons, Sister
Lize?’
“ ‘W-a-all, Ah tells you. Sis’
I Jane,' returned the other. ‘Ah
certainly does love watermelons,
but 1 can't eat ’em.’
“ 'Wall, dat am too bad. What
am de matter, Lize?‘
" ‘W’all, dat am like dis. Sis’
Jane. I lobes watermelons, but
Ah always gets mah ears wet
when Ah eats ’em.’ ’’ Milwau
kee Sentinel.

CAMELS ARE VICIOUS.
A peculiarity of the camel is
his dislikes. Likes he has none,
save for the mimosa thorn and,
perhaps, for dying. He hates
red, and when, years ago, some
genius of the British army
equipped the squadrons of the
camel corps with bright crimson |
saddles the animals so resented
the outrage that numbers of them
gave up the ghost in pure dis
gust.
The camel always, of course,
hates man and sometimes dis
plays his vindictiveness in no un
certain manner. A dignified and
elderly British officer has been
seen to foot it all round the camp
in blue silk pajamas, with one
slipper and a shaving brush,
closely pursued by his own ani
mal, with his long neck stretched
to the utmost and his savage
mouth much too near that sleep
ing suit to be pleasant. At
length a fatigue party was sum
moned, who, with telegraph
poles, young trees, railway ties
and such cajoleries, prevailed up
on the beast to desist.
As a mount the camel is said
to possess distinct advantages.
His gait is comfortable when one
has learned to /ide him, and for
really long journeys, which must
perforce be made at a slow pace,
he is much less tiring than a
horse. Besides, he carries with
him all manner of things the
rider is likely to need en route
canvas buckets of water, in
which bottles stand to cool; a
writing desk (not necessarily of
the office type), but still an effi
cient substitute; a luncheon
basket, rifles, telescopes, a
mountain gun, if required, and
other needful articles.
