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. Hounds of T. C. I will be at the following places for the collection of taxes on the dates named: Mt.
