UNCLE SAM BUILDS IN FIVE GEORGIA CITIES $310,000 or More to be Given Georgia in Post office Buildings. Five buildings that will cost an aggregate of $310,000, or more, are being erected in as many I Geoagia cities by the United States government, the locations of them being Albany, Cordele,, Dublin, Milledgeville and Way cross. N. V. Perry, supervisor of construction of buildings erected ! for the United States, and whose headquarters are at Macon, Ga., has given the Macon Telegraph the following description of the building and the progress being made in constructing them: “The building at Albany, which is to be a |K>Btoffice, a courthouse and a home for all of the federal departments repre sented in Albany, was started about two years ago and will be finished by the middle of Febru ary. It is a building nearly the size of the federal building in Macon and is constructed of limestone and gray brick. It will cost $98,000. The post office at Cordele, just started, will cost $55,000 and will be finished in about a year. It is going to be a handsome of sand stone with a granite base. “The building that is now be ing put up at Waycross is to be a postoffice and it. will cost the gov ernment about $05,000. It was started two months ago and should Ih> finished within a year, probably in about ten months. It is being constructed of white marble with a granite base. “The last two buildings, those at Dublin and Milledgeville, are! being modeled after the colonial style of architecture. The struc ture at Dublin, being erected for a iK)stoffice is nearly half finished now and should be ready in June or July at the latest. It is to be of sandstone and red brick and red brick and will cost about $48,000. “The postoffice at Milledgeville is in about the same stage of completion. It will lu* finished by the middle of the summer and will Ik* a fine building when it is done. The architecture is colon ial and it is made of limestone : and red brick. It will cost $45,000.” Ga.-Ala. Index. Buy and Sell at Home. Sell as much as you can and buy no more than is absolutely necessary, and the profit will surely be on your side, if you are a farmer. More Houston eggs have been sold in Perry this win ter than ever before, more than enough to supply the local de-l mand. Several hundred dozen have been shipped to a city mar ket. Our farmers can sell all the eggs they bring or send to town. Such can be made the case with other farm products. When the towns and cities are supplied with home products, the money is not sent out of the state for these articles. Therefore, the producers help the country as a whole when they produce such things and sell them in their country towns. —Perry Home Journal. How He Proved It. They were trying an Irishman charged with a petty offense when the judge asked: “Have you any one in court who will vouch for your good character'.”' “Yis, your Honor,” quickly responded the Celt; “there’s the sheriff there.” Whereupon the sheriff evinced signs of great amazement. “Why, your Honor,” declared he. “I don’t even know the man.” “Observe, your Honor,” said the “Irisman triumphantly—“ob serve that I’ve lived in the coun try for twelve years an’ the sheriff doesn’t know me! Ain’t that a character for ye?”—To day’s Magazine. 11l HIM. PEOPLE SEE 111 FRIEND Voters of Both Parties Sure Best Interests of Country Will Be Served by His Election, CONFIDENCE IN TAFT LOST _________ Renomlnatfon of Present Chief ex ecutive Will Mean That Prog rec eive Republicans Will Turn to New Jersey Statesman. BY HON. FRANK O. CANNON, Former United Btatea Senator Prom Utah. I have traveled In ten states since leavliiK Colorado a month ago. The cry of tile Progressive# In theso states T< joih, Oklahoma, Kansan, Nebras ka, South Dakota, Wisconsin, lowa, < Illinois, Indiana and even Missouri — Is for I-aKollette and Wilson. The Progmslvo I>emocratß want the Re- publican party to nominate Robert M. lAI-'ollotte for tin- presidency; so that If the Democratic party shall lose —the Peoplo will win. And Progressive Republicans WAnt the Democratic party to nominate Woodrow Wilson; so that—if the Re publican party shall loao —still the People will win. You will obsorvo that the Progres sive Dovo has at last learned wisdom from that wily old Serpent, the Sys tem; whoso favorlto plan haa been to (.elect both candidates, subscribe to both campaign funds and then let Ujo People, In deadly earnest, fight u useless buttle. Personally, I fear that the Progres sive Republicans cannot control their convention. Republicans Playing Polltlos, The office-holding machine Is pow erful, inslduouH, and experienced. The Interests are desperately determined to prevent a LaFollette term In the White Houho; and their financial aid makes the machine almost resistless. Frankly, I do not bellovo In this talk of a fatal breach betwoon President ‘i aft and lilg Ruslnc -s. On both sides It looks like a calculated quarrel, a melodrama played for national en tertalnmcnt. The nood of such on affectation of battle Is too obvious. Despite his earnest work, tho peo ple hail no fult.li that President Taft would nolvo otir vital problem and ro nton) the government to the custody of tho p< ople. A play was needed. It Is being played. Hut there remains Wilson, whcee nomination by tho Democratic con vention <mi only bo preventod by In sanity or perfidy—or both. Other candidates are ulilo; they have sla cero mlvo. ates. But tho Progressive Republicans as well us the mass of Democrats want Wiloon nominated; anil It Is the Progressive Republicans whose votes will decide the Issue. If Taft shall bo tho Republican nom inee, Progressives of his party would t'irn almost on niasso to Wilson— und Wilson Is tho only possible Dem ocratic nominee to whom they would thus turn. They will not leave Taft In order to vote for any Democratic ally of tho Interests. They will not desert thotr own party to caance any humiliating experiment with the oth er. They want to preserve their self-, respect and at the same time per form u high public service. Wilson’s Faith In Publicity. At all times and places, says a writer In Success, Woodrow Wilson has counselled opening our govern mental processes to tho light Thus at Minneapolis: "Every community Is vaguely aware that the political machine upon which it. looks askance has certain very defi nite connections with men who are engaged In business on a large senile, and the suspicion which attaches to tho machine Itself has begun to at tach also to business enterprise just because these connections are known to exist If those connections wore ; open and avowed. If everybody know just what they Involved and Just what uso was being made of the alliance there would bo no difficulty In keep ing an eye upon affairs and In con trolling them by public opinion. But unfortunately, the whole process of law-making In America is a very ob scure one. There is no highway of legislation, but there are many by . ways." At another lime he paid this hu morous tribute to publicity: “There Is one very disturbing qnal -1 tty in man, and I have experience 1 It myself and I dare say you have. When you are a long way from home # ad see no neighbor from near your home you give yourself an extraor dinary latitude In your conduct but If you Were on the desert of Sahara and met one of your Immediate neigh bors coming the other way on a camel you woul I behave yourself until ha got out of sight 1 * Reaching the Root “Radical" means “rootlcal“ and these laws merely got at the root of the things. We supposed we wore electing our public officials. We were electing them, but were not selecting them. Certain gentlemen In prlvato office were making up the slates and then permitting us to accept them. I want to have a voice in the selection of men 1 shall advocate. What Is “radical?" Why. merely giving back to the communities of New Jersey what they supposed they had all i aIong.—WOODROW WILSON. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, FEB. 15, 1912. What Ails the South. The average Southern farmer — Buys California canned and dried fruits, likewise Illinois canned and other goods seasoned with Rhode Island spices. Gets up at the alarm of a Con necticut clock. Buttons his Chicago suspenders to a pair of Detroit overalls. Washes his face with Cincin nati soap in a Pennsylvania pan. Sits down to a Grand Rapids table. Eats Chicago meat and Indiana: hominy fried in Kansas lard on a St. Louis stove. Puts a New York bridle on a Kentucky mule fed with lowa corn. Plows a farm covered by an Ohio mortgage with a Chatta nooga plow. When bedtime comes he reads a chapter from a Bible made in Boston. Says a prayer written in Je- IJttJ O C* Jyl VI VV a avov w sis w v rusalem. Crawls under a blanket made in New Jersey, only to be kept awake by a southern dog—the only home production on the place. And wonders why he is not rich.—Denver Republican. What a Politics Optimist Is. Governor Woodrow Wilson is a ( past master of repartee, as he, proved a score of times during his recent “stumping” tour, though never more effectively than in the South Jersey hamlet of Sea Isle. He had just referred to himself as a “political opti mist” when some one called out, “And what’s that?” Instantly came the answer: “A political optimist, my friend, is a fellow who can make sweet, pink lemonade out of the hitter yellow fruit which his opponents hand him.”—Lippincott’s. klng cures [dr7 king’s] NEW DISCOVERY FOR COUGHS AND COLDS.
