Press Agent Thaw has al 1 played out, but Frank and Bun manage to keep some copy on the hook. The political pot is past the sizzling stage in Georgia. It is boiling over. And the bojsar-' all happy. Os course John M. Slaton will he elected to fill fix- unexpired term of the lamented Ban n. And he will make a suets -nr to the departed statesman of whom Georgia will not be ashamed. The record of Hon. Dudley AT. Hughes in Congress shows that he has faithfully and energetief ly represented the Twelfth Dis trict. We see no reason whatev er in displacing him simply be cause some one else want- his job. The County Pupils Contest to! he held at the Brewton-Parlo r' Institute on the lSth inst. iso! more importance to Montgomeiy county than all the elections, county, state or national. It i time our people were unertakinp something worth while. - Now that Governor Slaton ha spoken and is squarely in tin race for the IJ. S. Senate, it will take some figuring to keep up with the fellows, down in th> second and third ranks who will manage to get “mentioned” for the governorship. The National Drainage Con gross, with the auto floral para.b attachment, to he held in Savan nah on April 22-25 will he a 1 1 event. And the railroads will: take us down at rates that w ill permit us to drink ice cream s - das or any other soft beveragt - we may run across. For awhile, at least, South Georgia will have a man in tin Governor’s chair. Upon the r< s ignation of Governor Slaton, to go before the people as the nom inee for U. S. Senator, lion. J. Randolph Anderson, from the seaboard, will automatically - and capably fill the place. There are entirely too many clogs and not enough iv/.s in . r great industrial wheels of this section. A lack of thought that develops system, in what wo un dertake, is one of the cloys. 1 Iv ory acre of farm land in Al nt gomery county ought to produce twice as much as it has been | producing. If Montgomery county e\ r has a fair, it is probable that tin women will have to inauguratt the movement. We have be n pleading for eleven years with the men to take the matter up. The proverbial dumb watch is a fast piece of mechaism compared to our men. We are waiting, to hear from the enterprising. .• progressive ladies of Montgom ery county. Editor Folsom, of the .Mont gomery Monitor, is among the visitors to Atlanta today. Mr. Folsom edits a live paper and he is very popular in his seed >n.~ Atlanta Conespondent Macon Telegraph. As such compliments are much more rare before than after the weekly editor's strugc.es have ended, we should be t \cused for returning thanks for this one. fAVVTVVVVVTVVTVTTVTTTVTTV* * * S Gleanings From < Wisdom’s Field.
