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.

The New Era is for home first, last and ‘ all the time. i Savannah Press:—That Greek family that thought a Drayton street house was haunted may only have heard the neighbor’s turkey walking around. Perry Home Journal:—The Georgia state fair this year was one of the very best ever held in the state, and splendidly illustra ted the agricultural and indus trial assets of our great common wealth. 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 tually pay for its existence. 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 bridal tour by remaining single. 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 ing shot up by foreigners with such names as Guiteau, Czolgoz and Schrank, it is self evident that there is something radically wrong with our immigration laws. Waynesboro Banner:—lf those of our citizens who are complain ing about the short crop could visit some Middle Georgia coun ties, where conditions are really 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 when the talk is normal, so lets i not tell of hard times if we feel, ever so had. Keep a stiff upper lip our advice. Americus Times-Recorder:— On general principles young Doz ier should go to the asylum. He and a woman like Essie Carter ought not to be permitted to curse the world with offspring. Society has some rights and should en force them. Savannah News: —A Macon | policeman had his pocket picked and his watch stolen. A thief so heartless and inconsiderate as to rob an innocent and confiding Macon policeman of his watch deserves to be electrocuted on a “ticker” wire. Atlanta Journal:-Success sel dom comes to a man until late in j the game. By the time he is in a position to get all the pie he i wants he is a dyspeptic. I 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. Savannah News. Florida authorities ought to ■ get Col. O’Leary to go down to Jacksonville and settle that little! street car row\ 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.— Home and Farm. Farm For Sale. I am offering my farm for sale.

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.” Ailey, Ga., Oct. 21, 1912. House for Sale.
