LAURENS AGAIN LEADS
IN COTTON PRODUCED
Over 42,000 Bales Ginned
And Expect Fifty
Thousand.
Dublin, Nov. 29.—Laurens
county has taken the lead in cot
ton production for the present
year, outstripping Burke, her
nearest competitor, by over 500
bales, according to the ginners’
report up to November 14.
This report, which is the last
one issued, gives Laurens county
42,1576 bales, and Burke 41,870
bales. Burke has been leading
for the two reports preceding the
one of November 14, with Lau
rens a close second, and the peo
ple of this county have been
watching the figures closely of
late.
The estimates of 50,000 bales
for Laurens county are now con
sidered as safe, as the county has
a good deal of cotton in some
sections that has not been gath
ered, and as the staple is coming
in every day to Dublin, and there
were over 42,(X)0 bales up to the
14th of this month, it is consid
ered safe to say that the crop in
Laurens will be at least 50,000
bales, and possibly more. This
is the third year that Laurens
has taken the lead in cotton rais
ing in Georgia, ami she has al
ready picked so far the second
largest crop ever gathered in her
history as a county.
How To Improve
The Live Stock.
Shortly after a new adminis
tration took hold of a well known
Southern railroad a great num
ber of claims were preferred
against the company on account
of horses and cattle being killed
along the line in Kentucky. To
make matters worse, it appeared
that every animal killed, how
ever worthless it may have been
before the accident, invariably
figured in the claim subsequent
ly presented as being of the best
blood of Kentucky.
One day, in conversation with
one of the road’s attorneys, the
president became very much ex
cited in referring to the situa
tion. “Do you know,” he ex
claimed, bringing down his fist
on the desk, byway of emphasis,
“1 have reached the conclusion
that nothing in Kentucky so im
proves live stock as crossing it
with a locomotive?” Pittsburg
Chronicle.
The Point of View.
The new Orleans States relates
that Judge Curtis Dunham, Mil
waukee’s prohibition leader, said
of Tammany Hall the other day:
“Your typical Tammany poli
tician looks at every political
movement from the single view
point of the ‘main chance.’ Di
rect primaries, police reform, the
social evil—these things mean
that only to him.
“He’s like a tramp, to whom a
farmer said:
“ ‘Looking for work, my man?’
“ ‘Wot kind of work, boss?”
the tramp asked cautiously.
“ ‘Well, my man,’ said the
farmer, who was very short
handed, ‘what can you do with a
pick?’
“ T could brile a pullet on it,’ i
said the tramp, his dull eyes
brightening a little.”
Awful Extravagance.
A farmer asked a negro farm
hand the cause of his worried
and harrassed expression.
“Do trouble, boss,” said the
negro, “is mah wife. She is do
Htavngantes pusson in de wuld.
She is alwus after money. Money
dis and money dat. en mo’ mon
ey. She comes ter me for one
dollar, en den she wants two
dollars, and so hit goes.”
“But. Joe, ’ ’ inquired the boss,
“what does she do with all this
money?”
“Well, de sac is, boss,” ex
plained Joe. “I ain’t gig or none
yit!” '
Kentuckian Seeks
Location in Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 28.—State
Commissioner of Agriculture J.
D. Price is almost daily in receipt
of letters from persons in the
north and west making inquiries
about Georgia with a view to lo
cating in this state.
The last letter which Mr. Price
received was from a man in Lex
ington, Ky., who wishes to pur
chase a farm in northeast Geor
gia conveniently located to a
country town. He desires to en
gage in the business of stock
raising and was particularly de
sirous of information as to the
capabilities of this section of the
state for that purpose.
Mr. Price says that nearly all
of the outsiders who are seeking
a location in Georgia are doing it
with a view to specializing in
some other field than that of
raising cotton. As the state is
eminently fitted for a vast diver
sification of farming enterprises,
the commissioner regards it as
fortunate that the new comers
are seeking to develop the agri
cultural resources of the state on
other lines than that of the pro
duction of cotton.
Man 65 Would Marry
Girl of Twelve Years.
Baltimore, Nov. 27.-William
Still, 65 years of age, a farmer
and rural mail carrier at Parkton,
Md., applied today for a marriage
license to wed Bertha Grove, 12
years old. The girl’s parents had
consented to the match.
The clerk refused the license
on the ground that the document
of consent was not properly made
out.
A Great Tribute.
Young men cannot understand
fully the pathos there is in the
severing by an old man of rela
tions he has maintained for a
half century. It isn’t surprising
that the ministers, especially the
older ones, of the South Georgia
Methodist Conference, were af
fected when, at the Macon meet
ing, the Rev. J. 0. A. Cook ask
ed to he put on the superannuate
list. He had served fifty years
in the active ministry. Bishop
Candler’s tribute to him could
not have been happier. Few
men deserve it. It was, “There
is nothing against him; there
never was anything against him,
and there never will be. ” It is
such men who make the cloth
respected and the men of the
cloth well loved.—Savannah
News.
Whut! Tukky? Naw!
Us Wants de Soddines.
Jackson, Miss., Nov. 27. —Two
thousand convicts in Mississippi
penitentiary and penal farms
were allowed to vote as to wheth
er they would have fowl or fish
for Thanksgiving dinner to be
furnished by the King’s Daugh
ters.
All of the 800 whites voted for
turkey, and all of the 1,200 ne
groes voted for canned sardines.
