Hard times in Montgomery
county is nothing so dreary to
contemplate as life in Central
Africa.
Surely you will go and take
along the whole family to the
Twelfth District Fair in Dublin,
Bth to the 12th.
We have struggled past one
more election. But the hazy
forms of many yet to lie are seen
far down the road.
The state constitution has been
amended until its apjiearance is
somewhat like the body of a crazy
quilt. Why not make a new one?
The Atlanta emergency news
manufacturer, after resting from
his labors a few hours, is now
running Governor Brown against
Hoke Smith for the U. S. senate.
One single enterprise paying
out money every week in wages
is worth more to a town than a
whole army of projects in the
dim and distant future that never
materialize.
The most common and diminu
tive agricultural exhibition held
in Georgia this fall will be a suc
cess. Someone will get ideas
that will lift him out of the old
rut of failure and despair.
Young man, if you are depend
ing on cotton to cut a caper in
the field of matrimony, you had
just as well change your slogan
to ‘‘corn and tutors for two.”
The cotton crop will be very brief
in this country.
The ladies of Montgomery
county ought to have on exhibi
tion at the Dublin Fairnextweek
a lot of fancy work and samples
of preserves, pickles and jellies.
Get a premium list today from
the secretary, It. M. Martin,
Dublin, Ga.
Teddy’s triumphal march
through Georgia was quite a tame
affair. But, humiliating as it
may appear, a few fools in this
great Empire State of the South ;
will vote for him, and would do
the same thing for the devil if
he announced for any office.
We are sincere in hoping that
the crowd elected yesterday to
the Georgia legislature will a few
men who are not of the swapping
variety. We are sadly in need
of law makers who will not take
up the entire session in exchang
ing votes on petty local measures
and who are capable of making
a few laws needed by the people
of the whole state.
There is no disputing the fact
that the oat crop is the one hope
of the farmers of this country. I
Planted and harvested without
one cent for cost of cultivation,
it is nearer all profit than any
crop made in this section. Ami
a paying crop of hay after the
oats are off. also made without
cultivation, makes a combination j
that every farmer should bank
on. And October is the time to !
put in the oats.
The strike in Augusta and its
resulting loss of life and property
has been a costly and humiliating
occurrence for Georgia. The
time is coming, even in this quiet
and peace-loving Southland, when
government must take hold of
these things with a strong hand.
A man has a right to quit work,
but when he declares that no one
else shall work, and proceeds to
kill and destroy property and the
business of others, he is an anar
chist that should be promptly
jailed.

Eastman Times-Journal: A
Macon woman has brought suit
against her husband for divorce,
charging ‘‘progressive cruelty.”
Now what in thunder is that?
Savannah Press: —lt is pointed
out as one of the triumphs of
journalism that Lillian Russell
has now teen married to her edi
tor husband three months and
there is still no talk of divorce.
Adel News:—The people of
Adel ought to organize a working
Board of Trade. Let’s get to
gether on the night when the
city officers are declared elected
and organize to put forth con
certed action for the upbuilding
of our town. We are doing very
well but we ought to do better.
Clinch Co. News: —More brick
stores to be built right away. My!
My! We have only just begun.
Give Homerville another year,
and she’ll be a hummer.
Valdosta Times: —
Two G. A. R. veterans, sixty
six years old engaged in a foot
race in Michigan this week, one
of them running ten miles in an
hour and fifteen minutes. These
old veterans can thank the Con
federate regiment for teaching
them how to run.
Telfair Enterprise:- We are
reliably informed that much cot
ton is being picked by the people
that raised it. It’s not a bad idea
even if it is forced upon them by
necessity. A great many farmers
will cultivate a crop to maturity,
and then balk when harvest time
arrives.
Waynesboro Banner:—lt seems
to us that these are the hardest
times of a quarter century. The
theory of the trusts that their
high prices helps everybody is
just a plain lie. The fellows at
the bottom can’t produce enough
to keep up.
Nashville Democrat: The only
sign so far that the coming win
ter is to be a hard one is the Tex
as negro who was caught wear
ing nine uairs of pants. He ought
to know as much as the goose
tene.tho corn shuck or the ground
squirrel.
I Dublin Courier-Dispatch:—lt
has been decided by the postof
fice department that reviewing a
book received is an advertisement
and, if put on the editorial page,
must be marked as such. There
is a bunch of incompetent cranks
in charge of the mail service.
Ogleteorpe Echo:—With what
sort of intelligence can a voter
down ateut Darien or St. Marys
vote for the judge and solicitor
of our circuit, and vice versa.
But such voting will have to be
done in the election next Wed
nesday.
Darien Gazette:—lf a man has
seven of uninterrupted opportu
nities to do something and didn’t
do it, what hope have we that
he will do it if given another
chance? asks The Commoner. Mr.
Roosevelt was president a little
over seven years.

Greatest War Fleet
Heading for New York.
New York, Sept. 28. —The
greatest gathering of American
warships yet attempted which
will far exceed the collection of
sea fighters that passed before
the Emperor William at the re
cent review of the German navy,
is to take place here next month,
and interest is already keen over
the promised spectacle. Alto
gether 127 warships will be in
line on the Hudson river. Os
! these 34 will be battleships,
as compared to 22 taking part in
the German review. Thirty-two
of these will be first-class dread
noughts, or all big gun ships,
and the total number of twelve
inch guns will be 148, or just 100
more than Germany was able to
show. In addition, Uncle Sam’s
fleet will boast eight 13-inch
guns. Aside from the battle
ships, 4 armored cruisers, 4 crui
| sers, 21 special type vessels, 6
naval militia vessels, 6 colliers.
2G destroyers, 16 torpedo boats
and 10 submarines will go to
make up the enormous fighting
fleet, while the crews will prob
ably total over 25,000 men. The
j two biggest ships will be the
Arkansas and the Wyoming, the
i newest battleships in the navy,
jof 26,000 tons each. What such
| a fleet could do to New York’s
| famous sky line is a matter of
much conjecture, but one which |
is unlikely ever to be proven, j
since experts hold that it would
be impossible for a hostile fleet
to gain entrance to the harbor. A
single shell from each of the 156
i big guns would be sufficient thor
oughly to wreck downtown New
York, while it would be a simple
matter for the submarine to tor
pedo the subways and tubes un
der the river, all within a period
of fiveminutes. In spite of this,
however. New York is planning
to make this war vessel show a
greater gala day occasion than
ever.

Dangerous Talk
in George’s Presence.
“Mother, I wish you wouldn’t
mention dishwashing when Geor
ge is calling on me.”
“Why not, indeed?”
“I don’t like it. It sounds
common. ”
“Common, eh? We have to eat,
don’t we?”
“Os course!”
“And George knows we eat
and use dishes?”
“That’s very true.”
“And George also knows that
dishes have to be washed, there
fore somebody has to wash
them?”
“But mother”
“What now?”
“If you keep on talking about
it George may discover that you
make father wipe them, and he
may think the same thing is com
ing to him if he should propose
to me. Detroit Free Press.
