If you boil down agriculture to get the essence of its success you will have left the one all-im portant idea, soil fertility. A system of underground irri gation that would also take off the surplus water of big rains, would pay in this country. Huerta has been eliminated so many times that we could scarce ly believe he had quit Mexico if we were to see him floating down the Oconee river in his little birch-bark canoe. In the menu given by Georgia editors for the Georgia Products Day dinner on Tuesday every thing that grows in Georgia was put in the bill of fare except two —raw raccoon and sw'eet milk. Atlanta ladies who entertained corn club boys last year are en thusiastic in their praise of the l>oys and very generously ask to have them as their guests again next month. The corn club boys are all right at home or abroad. No man in these United States has a clearer conception of the true status of affairs in Mexico than Senator A. O. Paeon. The Wilson administration could have no stronger man to lean upon in international questions than Sen ator Paeon.. Chairman McCoombs, who so successfully managed the late victorious Democratic campaign, has taken unto himself a wife. Me. will prove a real manager if he gets through next summer in his new role and doesn’t loose that newspaper smile. Montgomery county will never have a county fair if the matter is not agitated before the crops are all planted. Now is the time to plan, arid'the only way it will be accomplished is through a re sponsible organization that can offer premiums worth while. It was as natural for the Dub lin Courier-Herald to pass from a semi-weekly to a first class dai ly newspaper as falling off a log. There were already existing the combinations that make a good newspaper the business de mand, the brains and the spirit of progress. The governor of Rhode Island fears a “yellow peril” by reason of the low tariff allowing Asiatic competition in manufactures. Put wo have a monopoly of the cotton of the world and can make up every pound of it right here in the South. Let the new tariff have a trial. Macon will entertain the South Georgia Conference of Method ists this year, the meeting to commence on the 2t>th. Macon has the honor of having enter tained the first Georgia Confer ence, in 1831, and has the oldest female college in the world, the Wesleyan. We were staggered at the fig ures given out recently as to the amount of money sent out of Georgia annually for corn and meat. At the pace we are going the adding machines will have something to do if they keep up with the figures on money spent for automobiles. The masterpiece of the engin eering work of the century is the great Panama Canal, soon to be opened to the world’s commerce. As has already been pointed out, j those who will reap direct bene- j fit from the accomplishment of this great strenuous physical ac complishment will be those who | get ready for it. , YYTYTfTTYmTVVVTmVYYn • ► Gleanings From j t Wisdom’s Field. 3 ► -4 •AA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Waycross Herald: —A man’s political and personal friends and an official’s political enemies sometimes make victory for one and defeat for the other. Macon Telegraph:—The storms on the coast have caused a scar city of fish this week. Put with plenty of sausage, spareribs, yams, grits and other seasonable dishes, both of the animals and vegetable varieties, the people of Macon will continue to wear that well-fed smile. Fitzgerald Press:—With a real wide-awake Chamber of Com merce, conducted as Mayor Cook suggests, on business principles just like a bank, much good can be accomplished for Fitzgerald and Pen Hill county. Such an organization is in prospect and will be organized here at the big Poos ter dinner on the 18th. Tifton Gazette:—Out of the eleven murder cases before the State Supreme Court Tuesday and Wednesday, only one was al lowed a new trial. It is evident that the highest court in the State is determined not to be re sponsible for any delays in the enforcement of the law. Lyons Progress:—Our advice is not worth much, but it is al ways free. We would say to the wise farmers: Plant oats and lots of oats. Feed is going to be high as gold dust next spring and a big oat crop is going to be a mighty handy thing to have around along about then. Greensboro Herald-Journal:— ’Plie Greene County Corn Club boys will visit Atlanta, forty strong, on December second. President W. C. Merritt will have charge of the boys and that means they will be in good hands. Nashvilee Herald:—The man who thinks Tammany is down and out has another tnought coming, that’s all. Valdosta Times:—Conditions in a state which would bring about a really serious race be tween a statesman like Congress man Underwood and a freak of the Hobson type are hard to un derstand. Alabama ought to give Hobson all that is coming to him in this race. j VI DALI A WAREHOUSE! COMPANY If fcr 3 VV VV V WWVVV WVVVVVVV VV V *t *•' *?

Brothers, the weather has turned cold and we need some warmer apparel to keep out win ter’s chilling blasts, so before it’s too late, please remember us. Pembroke Enterprize:—Farm ers in this section are about through gathering their cotton and are sitting by the fireside looking over their deposit slips. Clinch Co. News:-The city of Homerville has grown from a cross-roads with one or two fami lies to a nice little city, yet the accommodations furnished by the railroad are barely little better than they were fifty years ago. As a town grows it does look like the railroad that passes through it would keep up with its progiess.
