Mount Vernon, Ga., Thursday Morning, Nov. 7, 1912.
We have done our best, and
the result is a matter of history.
No man’s ballot was ever
thrown away who, in the fear of j
God and in the love of truth and
right, made up his mind to cast
it
The Turks have now called for,
the calf rope, and the Balkan j
wasps are putting the salt and j
pepjier to them. And we are
glad.
It’s all right to shout if you
can do so consistently. But don't J
forget to put in a bigoat crop. It 1
will help us to shout even in an
off year.
Every Montgomery county boy
can rest, assured that he will have j
a chance at several handsome
prizes in next year’s corn con
test. And the girls ought to be
getting ready for that canning
club.
There may be some limit to
what the hoys in Georgia's corn
clubs will accomplish but that
limit has not yet been reached.
At the Tifton Fair last week
samples were shown from an
acre that made 233 1-4 bushels.
Now let Georgia do like Smith
told his old turkey hen which he
had set d iring the absence of
his wife at church. He reported
that he “gave her five hundred
eggs and told her to spread her
self.” Let us now get down to
business.
Editor A. C. Sweat of the
Nashville Herald, down in the
“land of corn and wine,” is put
ting on airs somewhat with a
handsome three-story office buil
ding. But Albert, deserves all
this prosperity now sweeping
down upon him.
Now that the election is over
and the snu.keof battle is drifting
into the dead past, we can join
every patriotic son of this great
Union in the hope that the next
presidential term will be the best
and most prosjHirous ever known
to this great republic.

Some of our weekly exchanges
carried bust week the Roosevelt
insert defaming Democracy
and Woodrow Wilson. They did
so as a matter of business and
gain. We sent back the money
offered for this advertising ser
vice preferring to keep our es
cutcheon clean and, if necessary,
die by the principles that must
save this country.
One of the strong young men
wearing the judicial ermine is
holding court for Montgomery 1
county this week. Judge Haw
kins of the Dublin circuit is com
paratively a stranger to our peo- '
pie, but his coming insures a
sj>eedy and correct dispatch of
the business of our superior court.
Hnd we are glad to welcome him
to our section,
t
A Needed Disturbance.
The Republicans and so-called
Progressives imagine that they
have won their argument w hen
they oppose a genuine revision of
the tariff on the ground that it
would cause "disturbance.”
They might as well hold that it
is unwise to secure any reform
because the process would cause
inconvenience to those who, for 1
good reason, are too well satisfied
with the conditions complained
of. From the dawn of history
until now no wrong was ever
righted without causing “dis-!
turbance” in some quarter. Ma- j

only have heard the neighbor’s
turkey walking around.

ted the agricultural and indus

Laurens Co. Herald: —The
movement inaugurated by Dub
lin’s -chamber of commerce for
the improvement of the Oconee
river is about to bear fruit. Had
the chamber succeeded in doing
no other thing this would even

Pembroke Enterprise:
An Atlanta woman has left her
husband because he was poor. If
this turns out to be the habit
amongst the ladies, most of the
men would save the expenses of

Graymont Hustler: —
There is an almost irresistable
power about a price or picture
made with printer’s ink. Herein
lies the secret of success al>out
mail order buying. A liberal ap
plication of printers ink properly
applied is the only remedy to save
the retail merchant from the
clutches of the large mail houses
after January 1, 1913.
Monroe Advertiser: —With our
presidents and ex-Presidents be

such names as Guiteau, Czolgoz

that there is something radically
wrong with our immigration

Waynesboro Banner:—lf those
of our citizens who are complain

many times w-orse than ours,
they would be rejoicing instead
of complaining.
Lyons Progress:—People should
not cry hard times so much. We
all know how hard it is and the
main cause is that the cry of hard
times is keeping the money out
of circulation. Money is easy

not tell of hard times if we feel,

On general principles young Doz

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, NOV. 7, 1912.
Schrank Wants a
i
Light Sentence.
John Schrank, the man who
tried to kill Col. Roosevelt, hav
ing got all the notoriety he can
out of his murderous effort,
wants to be let off with a light
sentence. He doesn’t want to be
punished for his dastardly deed.
He even thinks that Col. Roose
velt will forgive him and travel
;to Milwaukee to make an appeal
| for clemency for him.
While Col. Roosevelt carries
Schrank’s bullet in his body, it
isn’t for him to say whether or
not Schrank shall he punished to
the full limit of the law. It
isn’t of a great deal of conse
quence as to how he feels about
the matter. Society is the real
sufferer from such men as
Schrank is. If it' should permit
such men as he is to escape pun
ishmnet for their deeds their
number would increase greatly
and nobody would feel safe from
their attacks.
If Schrank is insane he should
be shut up in an asylum for life,
and if not he should be punished
to the limit of the law. He has
no reason for asking mercy. He
showed none and should be shown
none. It is such men as he is
who would upset society, over- j
throw governments and bring (
poverty, misery and death to
millions. Peace, happiness and ,
prosperity depend upon the main
tenance of law and order. Men
of the Schrank class have no re-1
gard for law and order and hence
for the good of society should be
put where they can do no harm.

Improving Dairy Cows.
Every man on the farm, whe
ther he has one cow or one hun
dred, should read an article in
this issue of Home and Farm j
concerning the sale of a herd of,
milking Shorthorns in England.
In the herd were twenty-five;
milking cows, and they averaged ,
a thousand gallons of milk a
year, or three gallons a day.
It is a marvelous story, hut the
best of it is that it is true.
The value of the story is that
it gives to every owner of a few
cows the assurance that by like
care, patience, observation and :
knowledge he can in time trans
form his own small herd.
The profit in farming lies not
in the average crop, but in the
increased production.
It is so with wheat and corn
and cotton; it is especially so with
the dairy.
Keep an account with every j
cow and replace the poor cows
with the best you can find.
Do not be impatient with fail
ures; be impatient only with ig
norance and with indifference; be
impatient with those who would
“let well enough alone.”
Nothing is well enough when
something better is within reach.
Our correspondent, writing
from the very heart of the blue
} grass region of Kentucky, lays
down five rules, which, if follow- j
ed, will change a dairy loss into
a dairy profit, or will change a |
small and uncertain profit into a I
steadily increasing income. Read
them, ponder them, act on them.!
These five rules are the five
rules of common sense, and in
volve no large expenditures.
They are meant for the use of
men trying “to make farming
pay;” trying to get from a year’s
cares and toil better results.—

In Memory.
On the 21st clay of Sept., 1912,
at her home near Ailey, Mrs. G.
W. Mclntyre passed peacefully
to her well-earned rest. Before
her marriage she was Miss Nan
cy Hughes, laughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Huk Hughes, and was born
March 3d, 1848. Was married to
Geo. Mclntyre March 3d, 1867,
and by this union were seven
sons and one daughter, all of
whom survive her. She was a
gr at sufferer for a year before
death, but bore her lot patiently
and sweetly. In early life she
united herself with the Method
ist church and was a consistent
member at the time of her death.
She was a loving and faithful
v/ife and mother, to which the
aged husband and noble sons and
daughter gladly bore testimony
by their love and care, and were
a comfort to her in her last hours,
all being around her bedside. She
was a good neighbor and friend,
charitable and considerate, as
shown by the number of friends
w’ho mourn her departure. Her
faith in Christ was strong, and
sustained her in the dying hour.
No one who knew her could help
loving her, and being impressed
with her strong Christian charac
ter. While feeling deeply our
bereavement, we are submissive
to Him who doeth all things well,
and do not mourn as those who
have no hope; for we believe we
shall see her again on the resu: -
rection morn. Till then we say:
“Servant of God, well done,’*
Thy glorious warfare’s past;
The battle’s fought, the race is won.
And thou art crowned at last;
Os all thy heart's desire
Triumphantly passed;
Ixidged by the mistical choir
In thy Redeemer’s breast.
“One Who Loved Her.”
