Thursday Morning, Sept. 3, li/14. Any way, with new sweet po-! tatoes coming in and scupper nongs getting ripe, we can keep a stiff upper lip a little while longer. It is said that the farmers of Crooks county are in better shape financially than in any other sec tion of Georgia. They plant hog crops instead of cotton crops. The outcome of the war in Europe and the time of its dura tion has about the same element of certainty about it as the Macon convention in progress this week. The old-fashioned coon skin currency of North Carolina might become popular again in these times of war and stagnation, but for the fact that the hides can not he had in sufficient quantity to relieve the stringency. We are indebted to I bin. 11. M. Stanley, Commissioner of Com merce and Labor, for a copy of his second annual report. The hook makes a sprendid showing for the work of the department, and is replete with the most val uable information. The farmer will get about as much and as conflicting advice as to what to do with his cotton crop gs he would get remedies for a mule sick with colic from a crowd of village spectators. If he is in shape to follow his own counsel he is quite fortunate. There were 1(5,082 bales of cot ton turned out by 17 active gin neries in Montgomery county for the season of 1913. This amount of cotton at 7 cents would bring $502,870. If the same amount of cotton could be held and sold for j 12 cents it would bring $964,920, counting 500 pounds for a bale. The Georgia division of the Democratic party ought to have enough brains and honesty to formulate rules that will not de stroy the very fundamental idea of democracy—rule by the peo ple. We shall see by the next primary rules fixed by the state executive committee whether the people are to be deprived of the right of electing United States senators by direct vote, as pro-1 vided for by law, or whether the matter of their election is to be left to brazen-faced politicians. HON. D. M. HUGHES. Second only to Judge Henry Mathews of Fort Valley, Hon. Dudley M. Hughes was the cham pion vote getter in the primary that was concluded Wednesday, August 19th. Os 13 counties in the Twelfth Congressional District, twelve gave Mr. Hughes a majority vote, j The only county going for Judge | Clements, the opponent of Rep resentative Hughes, was Telfair, j The home county of Judge Clem ents, Dodge, gave Mr. Hughes a fair majority. This splendid vote of confi dence proves that the people recognize and appreciate the faithful and efficient service of their farmer- congressman, and condemn the use of untruthful and misleading charges in a po litical campaign. Further, in social, moral and political life Mr. Hughes is a clean man, w hose word is his bond. His integrity is beyond question, he is ever kind, cour teous, and charity in won! and in deed is a strong element in his creed. The democrats of the Twelfth district did well in giving Mr. Hughes suefi a splendid vote of confidence. The vote in Houston county was nearly 4 to 2 in favor of Mr. Hughes.—Perry Home Journal. » »YY YYY YYYYTYYYf YYTYYYm • ► Gleanings From 2 J Wisdom’s Field. 2 ► < •AAiAAAAAIAAAAiAAAAAAAAAid Valdosta Times: —The cotton mills of England are working hut j 40 per cent of their time. But ; the army is putting in overtime every day. Greensboro Herald-Journal:— j The farmer that makes supplies at home and doesn’t have to keep I his corn crib and smoke house in ’ the west is not interested in high | price provisions, but the trouble | about that is three-fourths of the farmers do not own any land. They are only tenant farmers and j farm just like the landlord wants 1 them to farm. Brunswick Banner: —President Wilson urges strict neutrality and temperate speech by those with j racial prejudices, but he cannot ! ' surppress some rather vigorous thoughts. Adel News:—A hundred dol lars put fn circulation at this j time will pay many hundreds of dollars of debts. Let every man pay as much of his obligations as he can and the situation will be! ■> . | better and that quickly. i Claxton Enterprise: —Georgia < doesn’t seem to have anything on i little old South Carolina when it : comes to pulling off elections. 1 Lyons Progress:—The water melon season is atiout over and | now comes cane chewing time. | Its just one durn good thing af-' ter another down in Southeast, Georgia. Darien Gazette:—The re-elec- i tion of Senator Hoke Smith would probably have been unanimous j down this way had the report not gotten out that he was responsi ble for the introduction of the! destructive ground-puppy into the coast counties. Macon Telegraph:—How small I the petty contentions of a Geor- i gia politician appear, when we i contemplate the gigantic conten-1 tions of the nations. Nashville Herald: —Congress-; man Walker is back in Washing ton—on the job. He lost but a I few days from his post of duty 'on account of the election. Pembroke Enterprise:—A Sum ter county farmer has a 1,200- acre plantation on which there is not a stalk of cotton growing, j He is perfectly happy and is not worrying one bit over govern mental assistance in marketing cotton, as are many other farm ers. Augusta Chronicle:—The re- ! (quest of the farmers of the Twelfth Georgia district is most interesting. They ask Congress for a production tax on 1915 cot ton of 3 cents per bale. The pur pose ol' course is to curtail the production next year. It is most unusual that a grower of a staple will ask a government for a pro duction tax. Alpharetta Free Press: Raise some cattle and hogs. Mr. Far mer. It will beat raising Cain in politics. Rome Tribune- He r aid: A Rome lady was down town the other day with her three baby daughters, all the same age, in the same carriage. They created more attention than the Triple Entente or the Triple Alliance either. Savannah News:— That little dot in the North sea off the German coast is spelled “Helgoland” and “Heligoland.” Its first syllable accurately de scribes the sea fight that took place near it the other day.
