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, Ailey Ginnery. The Ailey Ginnery has been thoroughly overhauled and now running in full blast Bring nie your cotton, and get satisfaction. J. M. D. McGregor, Owner. Ailey, Ga. 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 gian. 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. j| 0000000: OF I I The Bank of Soperton | IS SOPERTON, GA.

Williamson, Rt. 1, Uvalda, Ga. 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.
