THINKS "LITTLE JOE"
WILL BE WINNER
The people of the state know
“Little Joe.” They have tried
his sort of governorship and they
prospered under the regime; they
have had him tested and he has
proven true and loyal to the peo
ple and their interests. While he
did not set the world on fire and
get himself advertised hy unreas
oning fanaticism along any lino,
he did not allow any opportunity
to pass unemployed to work for
the state which elevated him to
its highest place of responsibility
and trust.
The people of the state will re
elect Joseph M. Brown there
are thousands who voted for
other candidates in previous elec
tions whose sympathies and sup
port have for years been with the
“other school” of thought who
are openly expressive of their in
tention to vote and work for the
election of Joe Brown of Marietta
this time. Athens Banner.
TEACHING BY EXAMPLE.
William Dean Howells is a
stout opponent of those novelists
who, under the pretext of re
forming their readers, write
books about vice.
“Such writers,” said Mr. How
ells, at a luncheon at Kittery
Point, Maine, “remind me of a
lad whose mother said to him:
“ ‘Why, Johnny, I do believe
you’re teaching that parrot to
swear.’
‘No, I’m not, mother,’ the
Iwiy replied. ‘l’m just telling it
what it musn’t say.’ ” l-os An

FAMOUS ORANGE TREE.
In a garden at Riverdale, Cal.,
is treasured perhaps the most
valuable and noteworthy of trees
in the United States. It is the
orange tree brought from Brazil
in 1874 by the department of ag
riculture, and from which, by
budding, all the navel orange
trees in California are descended.
To this tree arc traced orange
groves now valued at millions of
dollars and it was the beginning
of a great industry giving work
to hundreds of t housands of men.
Towns and even cities have
sprung up from the yield of this
tree whose fruit now goes to
practically all the great markets
of the world.
When the tree was transplant
ed to its present site. President
Roosevelt attended the ceremony.
Its first fruit borne thereafter
was, in consequence, sent to him,
and his letter, acknowledging re
ceipt, was carefully preserved
close by, together with a photo
graph of the tree.
NOT LIBELOUS.
“I would like to know, sena
tor, whether this a libelous arti
cle?” one of the Washington cor
res|>ondents asked Senator John
Sharp Williams, of Mississippi.
"What did you say alxnit the
man?” asked the Mississippi
solon, running his eye down the
page of manuscript devoted to
the shortcomings of a brother
senator who has gained for him
self a rather generous share of
uiqxipularity.
“Why, I guess the worst thing
1 said alnnit him was that he is a
cross between a buzzard and a
hyena,” replied the newspaper
man.
“Libelous? No. 1 should say
not,” exclaimed Williams; “there
ain’t no such animal.” —Ex.
A VERY GOOD REASON.
The reason why some towns
with inferior natural advantages
go ahead of some other towns to
which nature has been lavish in
her gifts is because their citizens
show foresight, enterprise and
public spirit, while those of other
towns neglect their advantages.
To expect a town to flourish when
its natural advantages remain
unimproved, is as foolish as it is
for a farmer to expect a crop
from land uncultivated, or for a
business man who dix's not ad
vertise to hxtk for success. Dal

WOMAN HAS NEWSPAPER
THAT IS 138 YEARS OLD
Acworth, Ga., Sept. 27. Mrs.
Mary Trippe, of Acworth, has a
newspaper 128 years old. It is
The Maryland and Baltimore
Journal and Advertiser, publish
ed in Baltimore, Md., August 20.
1772. The colonies were then,
of course, under English rule and
the market quotations in the pa
per are in English money. The
paper contains a signed letter
from George Washington. The
sheet is a four-page, three-col
umn weekly, splendid print. The
letter “f” is used instead of the
present “s. ” It was the first is
sue of the Maryland and Balti
more Journal and Advertiser.
OUT OF THE QUESTION,
A tourist in the mountains of
Tennessee once had dinner with
a querulous old mountaineer who
yarned about hard times for fif
teen minutes at a stretch.
“Why, man,” said the tourist,
“you ought to lie able to make
lots of money shipping green
corn to the Northern market.”
“Yes, I ortor, ” was the sullen
reply.
“You have the land, I suppose,
and can get the seed.”
“Yes, I guess so.”
“Then why don’t you go into
the speculation?”
“No use, stranger,” sadly re
plied the cracker; “the old wo
man is too lazy to do the plowin’
and plantin.”
THE COUNTY UNIT PLAN.
Now that Little Joe has an
nounced and in the race, you
may look for the political lines to
form. We all rememlter what a
fierce race he made in 1908 when
he defeated Hoke Smith, and
then in 1010 was defeated by
Hoke. Now that Hoke goes to
Ihi- United States Senate and
leaves the office of governor va
cant little Joe is coming hack.
In the campaign of 1908 the main
issue was the preservation of the
county unit in Georgia politics.
Hoke Smith opposed this; Joe
Brown was in favor of it. In
1910 Hoke Smith claimed that
the question was settled in 1908,
and was not an issue. But in
the nominating convention of
1910 when Hoke was nominated
they again robbed the small coun
ties in Georgia of their political
strength, giving the counties
with large cities much the ad
vantage. Had Smith’s intentions
been generally known, he never
would have been nominated. The
people of Georgia are overwhelm
ingly in favor of the county unit
system to remain as it has been
since 1877 when through the in
fluence of the great Southern
statesman. Bob Toombs, it was
established. And Joe Brown is
the logical man to take the load
and restore to the smaller coun
ties their political strength, that
Hoke Smith and his executive
committee had robbed them of.
We are for Joseph M. Brown. —

“Yes, 1 am concerned about
myself. You see. of late 1 have
gotten into the habit, if one may
so term it, of talking in my
sleep,” says the man who has
boon waiting to see the doctor.
“Ah, yes.” says the doctoi.
“And you want to stop it in
some way? Really, it is not a
; cause for worry. 1 should give
it no attention if I were you.”
“But it bothers me a great
Ideal.”
“Tut, tut. You needn’t feel
any alarm over talking in your
! Sloop.”
“But 1 am afraid my wife
ilistens in her sleep.”

SWEET POTATOES MAKE
"NEW GROUND" RECORD
Moultrie, Ga., Sept. 27. —C. E.
Whitfield, of Funston, near
Moultrie, is experimenting in
sweet potato raising this year on
“new ground,” that is, land in
its first year of cultivation. He
has 21 acres in new ground, un
der green growing pine timber,
in sweet potatoes, that will yield
200 bushels per acre of as fine as
could bo grown. He finds ready
sale for them at 75 cents to $1
per bushel.
COTTON ATAMERICUS.
Americus warehouses are ten
thousand bales ahead of receipts
at this date last season, a fact
which would indicate a big crop,
locally, this year, despite reports
of a contrary nature as to crop
shortage. These may he true in
a measure, hut in the aggregate
the goods are in evidence.
Already several farmers have
marketed as many bales to this
date as they made last season,
and are not yet through picking
cotton in their fields.
Up to the 20th the local ware
houses here had received 10,500
bales, against 0,400 bales the
same date last year. Os course,
the fact that the present crop is
several weeks earlier than last
years may explain this great dis
parity in receipts.
The ginning plants report an
excess of receipts over last year
at this date, and are operating on
full time in order to meet the de
mands upon them. It is such
that the great hulk of the crop
will be gathered in one general
picking, as there is comparative
ly little cotton to open at later
date.
Excessive receipts have tended
to put the price down, and in the
Americus market cotton sold yes
terday at $5 per bale less than a
week ago. Times-Reeorder.
