Thursday Morning, MAY 2, 1912. The corn club boys are keeping very quiet. We hope they are “tearing up the patch,” arid get ting ready for a big show down this fall. A ship load of old political junk, that ought to be where the Titanic i now. was left over in Georgia yesterday after the pres idential primary. As we have before remarked, Montgomery county ought to hold a county fair, because it would bring our people together in a united effort, to better our financial and social conditions. Georgia will manage to pull through anyhow, regardless of who got a plurality of votes yes terday for the presidency. We will be happy anyhow with John M. Slaton in th** gubernatorial chair. Congressman W. <l. Brantley comes out strong for Oscar W. Underwood for president. They have fought the battles of De mocracy and the South sixteen years together, and Brantley ought to know him. We do not think the Demo cratic party needs anymore pres idential primaries. Give so called Democratic newspapers three weeks time, and they will prove that every man put for ward is a thief and a conspirator. With last week’s paper The Monitor rounded out 2f> years as a newspaper, and began volume 27. If we have accomplished any good we are glad, and will strive for better things as the years continue to pass into the great beyond. The more we see of local and state politics the more fully con vinced wo become that one half the elections ought to be dis pensed with. Give us four year terms for governor and all county officers and knock out half the strife. Billie Brvan, who is a Clark delegate to the Baltimore conven tion but now speaking for Wood row Wilson, is about on a par with the secretary of an old maids association, whose mem bers bad sworn never to marry, but ran awa> last week and married. The earnest efforts of Macon to give the United Confederate Veterans the grandest time since the “stars and bars” went down under overwhelming numbers will be appreciated by the whole South, and Georgia will never have cause to feel ashamed of her Central City. If you cannot attend the Con federate Yeti.uns Reunion in Macon on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thin lay of next w eek, you would be doing a noble act to help some old soldier to get there, as it might be the last roll call for him this side of “fame’s eter nal camping ground.” Hon. C. M. Methvin is a can didate for representative in Dodge on a platform urging four year terms for governor and all state and county otficials, bien nial sessions of the legislature, and abolishing the fee system in laying public officials. If they would let us we would go over and put in a handful of votes for Claude. If you want money quick, write Lyons Loan &.

J ► 3 •AAAAAAAiAiAAIAAiAAiAAiiAi Valdosta Times:— That “a ] touch of sorrow makes the whole world kin” was shown by the splendid heroism of the rich peo ple in the Titanic disaster. Sev eral millionaires went to their death rather than crowd someone else out of the life-boats. Adel News:—The man who sings a song of hope is the man I who succeeds. The sunshine has followed the rains and there is yet time to make a good crop. Dallas New Era: Every farm er is interested in good roads, and it is quite noticable that the best farmers usually live on the best roads. However, it is possible for all sections to have better roads than they do have. Lyons Progress:—Next Wed nesday is the time for the county candidates to see their fate, and they are doing much primary work to make it look good. Boys, don’t swim too much in liquor. It will have a had effect. Re member, we are not preaching prohibition, but we see many things and we hear where it is doing some damage. Butler Herald: —The farmers of Taylor county have found out that that there is more money in hay and corn than cotton, and will cut the cotton acreage this year fully 15 per cent. Weather conditions will cut the production another 15 per cent. Macon Telegraph:—Bryan says the more speeches Gov Harmon makes the fewer votes he will get. Sometimes it works that way. In 189f> Mr. Bryan re ceived (>,502,925, and after twelve years of speech-making he polled 0,409,104 votes in 1908. Blackshear Times: The South has never had a hearing since the civil war; therefore, if we must throw our vote away, let it be thrown where it will, at least, Ik* appreciated—vote for one real Southerner. They are always appreciative. Perry Home Journal:— The sinking of the Titanic, the larg est and most magnificent passen ger steamship ever built, was the most terrible of all sea disasters. It was believed that this ship was practically unsinkable, but the gigantic iee!>erg proved an irre sistable force. Laurens County Herald:—The unusually heavy rains during the past week will make it necessary for many of the farmers to plant their crops over. It seems that nature does not intend that the farmer shall overdo the thing again this year. Eastman Times - Journal: Dodge county soil has never yet failed to produce an abundant harvest, and our faith for a bumper crop this year is stiff strong, regardless of the fre quent and unusual ablutions that have been administered. Hawkinsville Dispatch-News:— The Dispatch and News is going to Ik* in position to give its hear tiest support to whoever the Democrats may nominate for president. While we have our preference, we hope the candi date will be selected who stands the best chance of being elected. Savannah Press: —Mayor Gay nor replied to a letter from Roos evelt expressing sympathy for the Titanic’s survivors, suggest ing that a little cash would be acceptable. The mayor must have read about Teddy being a mill ionaire. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1912. K. P. CONVENTION MEETS AT EASTMAN On Tuesday of last week, the seventh annual convention of the Sixth District, Knights of Pyth i ias, met in Eastman. A grand welcome was given the delegates, and the meeting enthusiastic. This convention is composed of the Knights of Pythias lodges in the counties of Dooly, Crisp, Ben Hill, Wilcox, Telfair, Dodge, Pu laski and Laurens, and was this ; year the guest of Fidelity Lodge No. 15C of Eastman. A spirited contest arose in re | gard to the selection of the next place of meeting, invitations be ing extended by Dublin, Mcßae and Fitzgerald, and more than ;one ballot being required to reach !a decision. Mcßae finally se cured the next place of meeting by a vote of 25 to 15 over Dublin. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, J. P. Hughes, Cor ! dele. Vice-President, li. T. Jackson, Cochran. Prelate, T. F. Heminger. Fitz gerald. Master at Arms, L. I). Emer son, Dublin. Inner Guard, C. O. McLeod, Finleyson. Outer Guard, D. D. Smith, Eastman. Col. Hamilton Burch of Mcßae was was re-elected to the posi tion of secretary. The Weekly Press Associa tion Meeting. The time for the meeting of the Georgia Weekly Press Asso ciation in Dublin is getting sadly mixed. Some of our exchanges give the date as July 12, several as June 12, and one puts us back to “June, 1214.” Where are we at, President Methvin? Please straighten us out quick.—Mont gomery Monitor. At the meeting of the execu tive committee held in Atlanta a few days ago it was decided to hold the 1912 meeting of the as sociation on June 12th, or June 19th, 1912, a definite decision as to the exact date to he reached later after plans for the annual outing have been perfected. Brother H. M. Stanley, our cor responding secretary, is now earnestly laboring to solve the intricacies of this problem, and just as soon as he exclaims “Eu reka,” we will give all the breth ren “due and timely notice, that they may govern themselves ac cordingly.” Eastman Times- Journal. A Surprise for Greeley. In his younger days, while fill ing the humble position of print er’s “devil,” Horace Greeley was sedulously courting the minister’s daughter, says Lippincott’s. Her father did not look with fa vor on the young man’s atten tions. One day, however, the good man was unwontedly gracious, and invited the future editor to come to church the next Sab bath, as lie felt sure the sermon would be of special interest to him. Sunday morning found I young Horace dressed in his best, seated in the pew beside the fair object of his devotion. Sermon time came, and his dismay may be imagined when the minister, looking straight at him, impres sively announced as his text, “Ix>! My daughter is being grieviously tormented by a devil.” Notice to the Public.

Many who have used the “EM ERSON” and other makes pro nounce the “EMERSON” superi or to any SIOO.OO typewriter on the market. It is a wholly visi ble machine, has every new, up to-date feature, looks like other high grade SIOO.OO typewriters, though it sells regularly for less and ou terms of SI.OO down and 10 cents a day until paid for, The “EMERSON” has every new im provement, universal keyboard, back spacer, tabulator, two-color ribbon; everything the best; is the ideal machine for beginners as well as for the most expert typists and stenographers; just the typewriter for the smallest or largest nflice.

A Note to You: April 11, 1912. There is a great multitude of little things to be found in a good Drug Store that you want the worst kind when you want them. Tho small individually, they are a host collectively, and are really too numerous for us to attempt to mention. Spoken of individu ally each would appear trivial; for instance, corn plasters, court plaster, chewing gum! Little in themselves, but what a vast amount of comfort they afford! We have them all, ready for you when you call. Yours truly, Mt. Vernon Drug Company. A. L. Lanier, Attorney at Law, MT. VERNON, GA. Will Practice in all the Courts of the State. PIANO . TUNING.

To the People of Montgomery County: Du ring the fifty days that I nerved yon last sum. mer I carried out every pledge made in my campaign for Representative. Besides, I was instrumental in preparing and passing the new school law, giving an additional hundred thousand dollars to the school children of Georgia: an extra forty thousand dollars to the old soldiers and their widows, getting several old soldiers on the pay roll as pension ers who had been turned down before; the new game law; tho new state road law, and many other very important matters to the common people of Georgia, whose triend I am. I secured the enactment of those laws which, it carried into effect, will save this county li\o thousand dollars, or more, every year, I se cured our new road law giving each district in the county its own money upon its own roads. I voted for every prohibition measure tending to uplift our people and state. I was on all occasions on the side of the poor people, the laboring people and the oppressed, and did on ly those things that I thought were for the best interest of the whole people.
