Ga.. Thursday Mominpr, Jan. 21, 1915. We can’t afford to say anything more about the shortage in the rainfall in this section. We have caught up. In fact we are glad we haven’t Ireen drowned. What the guano and mule men are saying to the farmers of this section is about like Pat s de scription of his conversation with the lawyer— “nothin to nobody.’’ Regardless of low cotton and hard times and bad weather, we prefer camping on the banks of the Oconee to hiding in the trenches along the river Aisne. That story about the fog in Atlanta getting so thick last Fri day morning that they had to cut it with butter knives sounds to us like Atlanta is trying to put one over on London. While many communities in the South did not enter into for mal celebration of his birthday on Tuesday the 19th, the name of Robert E. Lee will ever be held with devoted reverence by our people. Hon. Dudley M. Hughes, Geor gia’s farmer congressman, has scored another point. He met and out talked a Western woman who called last week to plead for his aid in the women suffrage movement. Greatness is not without its peplexities and stern responsibil ites. They are now shoving that awful stench, the Frank case, under the nose of your Uncle Nat Harris, before he gets over the worry of the election. President Wilson’s popularity was greatly enhanced on Sunday last when he became grandpa. His daughter, Mrs. Francis B. Sayrs, presented him with his first grand child. Being a boy, it is quite safe to guess his name will be Woodrow Wilson Sayre. The weekly press of the state is outspoken and unanimous for cotton reduction and the planting of provision crops. Not because there is any glory in continually giving advice to farmers, but because of the knowledge that the farmers’ success and prosper ity means their success and pros perity. A half dozen men, upon whom we could lay our linger, in this county of Montgomery, have it in their power to transform this section into one of the richest in Georgia. Politics will never do it. but combined effort in the right direction can easily bring the change. We challenge you to demand our reason and our plan. It is greatly to be desired by the entire civilized world that the war in Europe come speedily to an end. But it is probable that its ending before cotton planting time would be a real disaster to the South. The awful lesson be ing taught us, of the disastrous result of dependence upon a sin- ! gle crop, is just getting past the opening chapter. We note that hundreds of bush els of cotton seed are being load ed on cars here for shipment to points outside of Montgomery county. We presume that the shippers are getting a fair price for the seed. But it is quite sure that the buyers will make a fine profit in turning them into oil, meal and hulls, a profit that the shippers here could put into their own pockets. Only a matter of co-operation by our people. i »mvfvmvfvvvvvvvvfm»» t Gleanings From 3 t Wisdom’s Field.

Macon Telegraph:—Savannah city council raised Mayor Da vant’s salary from $.'1,600 to SO -a year, but the mayor vetoed the raise. He has set a prece dent for which earnest patriots in other cities will hardly rise up to call him blessed. Monroe Advertiser: —It begins to look as if the weather man is overstocked on rain, and is trying to dump it all on the market at the same time. Adel News: —When money is tight and everybody is as eco nomical as possible is the time for the business man to give pub licity to his business. He gets trade when his offerings are good and he lets the people know it. Swainsboro Forest-Blade: —Put your children in school if you haven’t them there. Send them at a sacrifice. It won’t do to let them stay out on account of a little expense. Cuthbert Leader:—The fact is, the whole country has been on an extravagant basis. We have been living beyond our means. That is why the panic pinches us so. Most of us have not been providing for a rainy day. Claxton Eenterprise:—The man or men who drew up the bill cre ating Evans county sure did one expert job. The result is that we have neither representative nor county commissioners. Dublin Courier-Herald:—An automobile trip over a portion of Laurens and an adjoining county yesterday by the editor convinced him that there is more grain sown this year than ever before in the history of the county. Savannah Press: —Blease sent a good many messages to the South Carolina legislature, but the one that seems to have uni versal satisfaction was “fare well.” Brunswick Banner: —The Re publicans are trying to worry the Democrats all they can. Oh well, the Democrats are big enough to stand it. Nashville Herald:—The bank statements published recently show the smallest amount of loans we have ever seen. O, come on, gentlemen, don’t be so scary. Valdosta Times:—South Caro lina ought to take a week off and celebrate the fact that Cole Blease is soon to give up the reins of of fice as governor. Darien Gazette:—The govern or and the state house officers should be elected for a term of four years, and we hope the leg islature will favor a constitution al amendment that end. If adopted it would do away with a lot of expense and much bitter ness. Lost Cow. On Dec. 30th estrayed from my lot at Uvalda, one Red Cow with white breast, ends of both horns sawn off.
