Thursday Morning, July 8, 1016. Gov. Harris says we must keep sober. And we must. From the trenches the cry goes up, “On to Eastman!” The peavine hay season is al most upon us. Don’t neglect the South’s great forage crop. The submarine part of the Eu ropean war seems to be the only real live proposition about it. Some good measures have been proposed in the legislature, hut Ihe annual choking of foolish thorns and thistles will prevent the passage of many of them. The grandest sight in Georgia today is that of thousands of acres of green cornfields waving in the sunlight, a harbinger of better times arid agricultural in dependence. We think the <leneral Assembly now in session is made up of a lot of good fellows. But the old game of “you tickle me and I’ll tickle you” will he just ns popu lar as in preceding sessions. That is a good one Editor Moore of the Pembroke Enter prise gets olf on old Montgomery as the “shoe string county.” We propose to bo tied in a double how knot before any more cut ting is done. The most remarkable food , plant grown on Georgia soil is the sweet potato. An armful of vini s, a three foot stick and a little patch of ground will pro duce a life sustaining crop at less expense than any combination known to agriculture. Already the belligerent nations of Europe are figuring on the next winter campaign. Our peo ple had just as well get ready lor living at home on this side the water. More wheat, less cot ton; more feed, more cattle and more prosperous farmers. We look forward to the meet ing of the Georgia Weekly Press Association at Eastman on Mon day evening next with the brightest anticipations of meet ingold friends again. Eastman and Mcßae (side trip) will be on their p’s and q’s, and everybody will be happy. The attempt lust Saturday to assassinate ,1. P. Morgan, Jr., of New York, calls to mind the fact that anarchistic maniacs always make their attempts on the rich or those high up in office. Along with their insanity the fact shows up that envy and greed are at the bottom of their madness. We hope tin agitation of the jury commissioners matter in the General Assembly will result in some needed reform along that line. If the amount of trickery and political scheming practiced along that line in Georgia could be brought out into the light of day it would surprise old Diogenes sti he would singe his hair and beard both off in his excitement. The people of old Montgomery county have certainly hail to fight for the life of the county. First Toombs took a big slice, then Wheeler county was made out of the western side. These two counties left Montgomery but a narrow strip almost like a shoestring. Now a proposition is up to cut off the north end. If ibis goes through, Montgomery county might as well be wiped off the map. Wo hardly think, however, that the legislature will consent to this move. —Pembroke Enterprise.

Clinch County News: On the first working day of the Legisla ture, Thursday, 87 bills were in troduced. If this rate was con tinued for the fifty days there would be 4,850 bills.
