Thursday Morning, July 31, 1913. Superior court will be in ses sion here next Monday. # Stock raising and prosperity has already been our slogan, and we may have to make room in the plate for alfalfa. Tobacco is being raised for market in old Montgomery. We haven’t begun to enumerate the wonderful possibilities of this sec tion. Melon money, hav money, pea money an<l fruit money will pass all right, but sometimes out farmers prefer to handle only cotton money. Tax reform in Georgia and tariff reform for this great na tion are two great things we are pulling for, and every day brings nearer their happy- realization. Sober-minded people and the real women of the South will note? that the demand for the ballot for women comes right along with slit skirts, female incendiarism and several forms of deviltry. Dr. Andrew M. Soule came out with flying colors before they had time to even introduce a resolu tion to “investigate” him. This little incident shows real talent is appreciated in other states as well as in < leorgia. It is not only democratic, it is always safe to have a fair ex pression from the people on any public matter. Money may in fluence and prejudice l may warp legislation, but when the common people have a fair chance they will act with common sense. If the Georgia legislature sue coeds in making it a law for $15,- 000 to bo appropriated for the corn club work among Georgia boys it will be a most commend able piece of legislation. This will be money spent for direct uplift of the people and not for sickly sentimentality. Will the legislature wrangle over the method of killing the snake our iniquitous tax sys-1 tern and finally defeat the will of the people and leave us with the burden that has w»H nigh be come intolerable? We hope for some improvement, at least. Chairman L. It. Aiken of the house ways and means committee is in earnest for this reform. Mr. William Randolph llearst telegraphs his editorial managers that railroad men and all labor ing men must get repeated in ert-uses in wages to keep up with the increasing cost of living. If railroads and factories are re stricted in their earnings by laws that prohibit a corresponding in crease, how long will this pro cess last and where will themon- 1 ey come from for repeated in- j creases in wages? Senator McGregor in the Geor gia senate and Representative I‘arks in the house are working to put an end to new county wrangles in the legislature by bills to submit the formation of new counties to a vote of the peo ple—the real parties concerned. The sensible, fairminded legisla tor must admit that the turning down of some propositions where there is real merit ami the recom mendation of others with no merit whatever shows that the people vitally interested are the victims of whims outrageous or influences that are not on the surface. YYTYYYYYYYYYYYYTYYYTTYYYY* ► + ► Gleanings From * I Wisdom’s Field. \ ► « •AAAAIAIiAAAAAAAAAAiAAAAAA 1 lawkinsville Dispatch-News: | —The legislators are evidently j wasting too much time on new i county propositions, and they vvill likely continue to do so for many years to come unless they fix a limit of new counties at some figure 150, or 175 or 200 —as suggested by the Augusta : Chronicle. Pembroke Enterprise: Some of our corn club boys are doing exceedingly well in their first un dertaking. Last year Bryan county dirt not have a single mem ber, but this year she has sever al; and some of them will make marked showings. Atlanta Journal:—To a man! who is getting a small salary and has a large family to support; home is the dearest place on , earth. Graymont Hustler: —The re cent rains have put to rout many j a “grouch” in oui community. | Smiles now grace the counten ances of many men whose faces j | resembled red pepper pickles on :ly a few days ago. Well, it’s all 1 in life. Macon Telegraph:—Democrats sweep Arkansas, says a headline. | Now who ever heard of a repub lican even making a scratch in Arkansas. Darien Gazette: The rice-bird season is about a month off. Rice-birds on toast or in any other old way, are all right. And then after rice-birds—oysters—and later on, the delicious Altamaha shad! Why should we worry ? Dublin Courier-Dispatch: It has got so that for the past few terms the legislature has been turned into a new county factory, so that one of the most important matters that the assembly has on hand is the consideration of new county propositions which are, legion. Waycross Herald:—lt is under stood that one of the chief occu pations of President Huerta of Mexico, these days, is the scan tling of railway and steamship: time tables, but unless he is pret ty shrewd he will probably leave Mexico over the "Ley Fuga” road, the same one over which he sent Madero. Savannah Press: It issaid the Japanese government can trans port more than 200,000 men on ! its ships if necessary. If Uncle: Sam’s regulars and volunteers! ever get after them they will find it necessary. Norman Park Press:—Colquitt County is going to have a record breaking feed crop this year. There is no reason for our people sending out of the county for a bushel of corn. Raise it. Mr. ; Farmer, on that good land of i yours and keep your money at : home. Athens Banner: The Demo- ! erats have been in power since : the fourth of March, but so far ! we have failed to note the op- ■ point ment of any of the Under- 1 ; wood Democrats by the President. '• Nashville Herald: —We have j farmers in Berrien county who > make four crops a year from the ■ same land. And we have others , who barely make one crop a year, j There is more difference in the i men than the land j Tattnall Journal:—A law pro- < venting the creation of any new j county for the next twenty-five \ years would be one of the best i that could be placed on the sta- \ tute Lxvoks. Then people would • think more of legitimate pros- \ l>erity than they would of en- i hancing property values by get- i ting county seats. Too much j time is taken up already in the j Legislature on this question. I] THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JULY 81, 1913 Rev. Thos. W. Lanier Dies at Guyton. Guyton, Ga., July 27.—Rev. Thomas W.

President Robertson of Brew ton-Parker Institute was in towm Thursday in the interest of the school. He succeeds Dr. J. C. Brewton and comes highly rec ommended. He has the co-opera tion of those w r ho have made the school a success. The faculty w’as fortunate in securing such an able man to succeed Dr. Brew ton, who has sought release for two years because of his health. While the presidency passes to a younger man, Dr. Brewton will remain with the school.—Still more News. Water, Indeed ! A man fell to the ground from a second-story window, says Pearson’s Weekly. He was only slightly bruised, and as he lay stunned on the pavement a crowd gathered round and discussed ways of bringing him back to consciousness. “Fetch him a drink of water!” a sympathetic bystander sugges ted. The victim of the accident opened his eyes and sat up in dignantly. “Water!” he ex claimed. “How many stories do you want me to fall to get a drink o’ brandy?” SEABOARD AIR LINE B’Y, I The Progressive Rail’y of the South, i I Pullman’s New Drawing Room Buffet j| Sleeping Cars Equipped With Electric Lights and P*a jj On night trains between Savannah and Montgomery, making l| connections for all principal points EAST and WEST. || 700 AM -6 00 PM Lv Savannah Ar 900 AM 885 PM !> 742 AM 648 PM Cuyler 818 AM 745 PM !j 852 AM 7.58 PM Hagan 707 AM GB4 PM ;! 920 AM 825 PM Collins 647 AM 610 PM |! •10 05 AM 9 12 PM Vidal la GO2 AM 525 PM j! 11 25 AM 10 35 PM Helena 440 AM 403 PM H 12 55 PM 12 08 AM Pitts 307 AM 23G PM !; 1 35 I’M 12 40 AM Cordele 230 AM 1 40 PM || 813 PM 200 AM Americas IToAMI2 32 PM l! 405 PM 255 AM Richland 12 20 AM 11 32 AM l!
