Thursday Morning, April 23, 1914. Ii begins to look like Uncle Sam will have to give Huerta a spanking- Some fellow has already called up the Japan bogie, and we haven’t fired a gun at the Greas ers. The “also rans” fall into a hopeless minority when we cast a glance at Georgia’s “mentioned” clans. P.lease and Huerta, these two. But Huerta may. soon leave the South Carolina warrior far in the rear when the smoke of those battleships begin to gracefully curl along the coast of Mexico. It. has been the boast of this great nation that the poorest hoy in it may aspire to the highest positions. But just at this time it really seems that this aspira tion is being ovi \\ or! ed in Geor gia’s gubernatorial race. Greed for office, from the cor oner’s place to the highest office in the gift of the state, is hinder ing the great Umpire State of the South in its march towards the highest ideals in government and social standards. The tempests may howl and the loud thunders roll in Georgia’s political whirlwind, but when the smoke is all cleared up the man who will he depended on to keep the old ship afloat is the solid old farmer whose real empire is his bountiful home and self-sustain ing farm. From the days of Oglethorpe to the present time Savannah has always known the real meaning of hospitality, and the gathering of delegates there this week to attend the National Drainage Congress will find the old city still pulsating with the throbs of genuine welcome. We are getting closer to that county fair for this county Many of our people had tin ir eyes op ened by the count v school con test and exhibit here last Satur day W ithout even a hint of woman suffrage, we believe we could pick a half dozen lady teachers that could turn old Montgi mory county inside out in agricultural ami education al matters. Montgomery county teachers have abundaut cause to feel proud of the success that crowned their efforts here last Saturday in the school contest and fair. This event, that ought to be made a permanent thing, has done more for our people than all the political conventions since the first reading of the Declaration of Independence. '• The two great truths in the following paragraph from the Macon Telegraph cannot quite cenceal the tine bit of irony pro truding: “Goorg>a leads all Southern States in tin number of automobiles owned and is also one of the largest importers of meat, corn and other con nod iti s that couM be raised at home” We like these words from Gov ernor Slaton’s formal announce ment for U. S. senator: “The interests, rights and pros, erity of my state shall be my fiist con sideration. Rei senting the state of Georgia, I 1 > ieve a fed eral senator is an ambassador to the national.'council from the sovereign state. I believe with equal conviction that what is best for Georgia is apt to be good for the nation.” ► Gleanings From < t Wisdom’s Field. 3 ► aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa * Lyons Progress:—Three men were executed in New York Monday for murdering a gamb ler. In Georgia some times men are set free for murdering a re spectable citizen. Darien Gazette:—The Gazette is waiting patiently for the rest of the politicians “to take the matter under consideration” be fore “taking to the woods.” Hur ry up, boys, and get in line—but don’t crowd. Fitzgerald Press: Fitzgerald is not the only section in which there exists doubt as to whether the law is properly enforced, but nothing could be more gratifying than to see it made one of the few sections which stand out head and shoulders above their neighbors by reason of their re spect for law and order. Tattnall Journal:—Charlie Ed wards is one of the most influ ential men in congress today,and the voters of the First Congres sional district are going to keep him there, too- Greensboro Herald-Journal Some people dread to part with money so bad that every time they pay the preacher a quarter they look up and sing: “God be with you till we meet again.” Nashville Herald: —We have twenty-nine candidates in Ber rien, with no one for judge of the city court or state senator. We want at least forty candidates before the lists close. Atlanta Journal:—There are men who have never seen a base ball game, and there are Geor gians, too, who have never sought office. Hawkinsville Dispatch-News: Hon. J. Randolph Anderson, of Savannah, has entered the race for governor. As president of the state senate he is well known all over Georgia and will no doubt be given a strong support. Macon Telegraph: Anyway, Huerta will always understand that those stars and stripes rep resent the dignity and honor of a great country and are not to be trifled with. Brunswick Banner:—Some peo ple are pointing out Oscar Un derwood's election in Alabama as a repudiation of President Wil son. This is just about the most idiotic way of sizing up a situa tion that has ever come to our attention. Valdosta Times: Reports are saying that when John Lind gets home he will at least talk to his \\ ife. We can’t exactly see how he will have any opportunity then. Dublin Courier-Herald:—Ma con is getting almost as bad as Atlanta. If they elect many of their candidates, next year we will hear how the “Macon ring” is hogging all the offices. Savannah News: —This seems to be the season of ultimatums. First. President Wilson sent one to Huerta, and then Secretary Garrison sent one to Gov. Blease. Thomasville Times: The split between Joe Brown and Jack Slaton will be like the split in the gown of a modest woman— too small to notice and properly lined. Lincolnton News:—South Car olina's gubernatorial army is j quite large, but after all it hasn’t nuch on Georgia, where ten can diu..tes for a like honor have al ready been announced. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR-THURSDAY. APRIL 5-3.1914 Save the “Whisky” » Two Scotchmen had been hav ing a good time on the heather downs of a little island and were rowing back home across the firth, says Dean Mortimer Cooley, of the University of Michigan, when the boat capsized. He told the story to the Engineers Club says the Detroit Free Press: Angus had clung to the boat and Jock, who had clung to the bottle, was floundering bravely in the deep- Although a poor swimmer, he struck out for the skiff, holding the bottle in one hand. After a few strokes he began to falter. “Angus.” he cried, “I dinna thenk I can mak’ it.” “Well, if ye canna mak’ it, Jock, throw it,” called back Angus. Didn’t Need Books Gov. Miller, of Delaware, re marked not long ago that even book agents sometimes fail of achievment through unforseen misunderstandings, relates Lip pincott’s Magazine: An affable agent of this sort approached a Texan whose rec ord he had previously acquainted himself with- Colonel, said he. those are mighty fine boys of j|>urs. The finest ever stranger, ac quiesced the Colonel, the finest in Texas. I reckon you buy them any thing they want? Why sure, stranger, I buy them anything they need whether they want it or not Then, Colonel, let me sell you a cyclopedia for them. There is nothing else that will benefit them so much. The colonel looked at the agent in astonishment. Why, stranger, said he, them boys of mine don’t need no cy clopedia. They ride mules. Lost Cows. Two cows driven from Sharpe’s Spur to near Soperton are estray. One a cream color, with 1 slipped horn, marked swallow fork and underbit in one ear and crop and a split in the other. The other cow black sided with frosty back, marked two splits in one ear, one split in other. Both cows haye calves. Will pay $5 for their re covery. H. H. Odom, Rt. 1, Soperton, Ga.
