Just about like you predicted,
eh? But it is to he observed
that many predictions that crop
out after election had, through
some form of oversight, not been
made a matter of record—just as
predicted—and there is little
chance to tell whose prediction
pans out right in matters politi
cal.
Another political meteor has
fallen—sadly so. Old Governor
Sid Catts, who filled the execu
tive’s chair in Florida several
years ago, is now being tried on
peonage charges, based on find
ings while governor. Takes a
long time to get the wind out of
such derelict ballons, but when
they do fall it is a mighty thump,
then —well nothing.
Those oats—mighty good time
to put them under the soil. The
oat crop brought a good price
this year, and there has been a
strong demand for seed for fall
planting. One feature about oat
growing which has ever appealed
to our mind (agriculturally speak
ing, in a newspaper) is the fact
that they demand no further
plowing after being put under
the ground.
Through optimistic vision we
cannot see the world going di
rectly to the devil, but with a.
glance highly tinctured with
pessimism, it is easy to behold
the devil approaching dangerous-'
ly near the earth. The chroni-1
cle of current events reveals in
no uncertain terms the latter
view, however morbid and shock
ing the situation. The daily
newspapers, those great mes
sengers of intelligence, are bur
dened with accounts of crime,
death, debauchery and destruc
tion of every form and nature
within the scope of man’s imagi
nation, and the world reads and I
passes on, seemingly unconcern
ed. The world does not condone;
crime, hut stands by while the
cohorts of evil stage the drama
overladen with criminality. In
difference to the Supreme law' al
lows the trend toward evil, and
unless the world is awakened to
the responsibility of mankind t»>
its Creator, sooner or later there
will be room for nope or optimism
the day of salvation will have
passed.

There was recently unveiled in
a great Northern city the corner
stone of a twenty-one story
church building, calculated to
cost millions. The pastor well
said that never before has the
world looked so strongly to the
church as the solution of its prob
lems, and pronounced it the
agency through which the world i
can be saved from-chaos, but af
ter all it is a question if the
greater number of people can be
reached through skyscraper edi
fices, when the same money
would have built several hundred
churches costing many thousands
etch and spread over a broader
field.
The final chapter in the Cooper-
Carmack feud is written. Dun
can B. Cooper, who, with his
son, Robin, shot to death Senator
Edward Carmack on the streets
of Nashviiie. Tenn.. fourteen
years ago, recently died at the
age of seventy-nine. Cooper was
pardoned by Governor Patterson
without having served his sen
tence, and the son was mysteri
ously murdered a few years later.
Fate overtook the younger, seem
ingly in a more horrible manner
than he had aided the death of
Carmack, hut it remained for
death, the Great Eeveler, to re
move from the arena of blood the
lone and unperished actor in a
! tragedy which shocked not only
Tennessee but the South.

With Harris and George in the
' Senate, Crisp in Congress and
Walker for Governor, Middle and
South Georgia will have the best
opportunity fin, its history for
recognition in public affairs,
while Georgia as a whole can
boast of these men as clean, hon

whom but few States in the union
can furnish. —Butler Herald.
We are in line for invitations

“As an example of the business
judgment of a few farmers, we
submit the following: A man
who owns'a good one-horse farm
in this county planted twelve
acres of his best land in cotton
this year, cultivated it as best he
Oi'd, but made no attempt to
keep the boll weevils out of it. 1
He got one bale of cotton for his
year’s work, and now wants to:
sell out and move to' Florida.” —
Thomasville Press.
This county is in need of a
greater respect for law and or
der. It\is likewise in need of,
more officers'.who possess’ the
honesty and nerve to enforce
that law.> As long as V-0-T-E
spells “law” we will continue to
be long on laws and short on:
their enforcement. In the mean-1
time, the people who* put these;

reason,to complain, of.the things,

Got What They
Must Have.
A small farmer who is a per
sonal friend of the Editor’s
writes us as follows:
"The land in this neighborhood
has been starved to death and
now the land is starving us in re
turn. Whatsoever a man soweth
that shall he also reap. I have
been thinking I would sow a
winter cover crop every year but
when fall came I could not see
where I could spare the cost of a
cover crop.”
The fact that interests us in
connection with this letter is that
this man always finds away. we
believe, to purchase fertilizer in
the spring of the year. When
farmers get to the point wher<
they realize they simply “must
have” cover crops and legumi s
just as truly as they “must have”
fertilizers, a new day will dawn
for Southern agriculture.—Pro-!
gressive Farmer.

NOT AS SHE HAD PICTURED
Girl Who Had Herself Paged in Hotel
Unprepared for Meeting With
Flippant Individual.
The girl hud never been paged in a
hotel. Time after time she had heard
the bellboys go by calling out names,
and always she had envied the young
women who got up and followed them
to the telephone.
It got to he a positive mania with
her — this desire to be paged —and
finally she persuaded one of her
friends to telephone her at a hotel at
i a specified time.
She waited in the lobby, sitiing on
| the edge of tier seat in excitement, un
til tin- boy appeared.
"Miss Brown! Miss Brown!"
She rose excitedly. "1 am Miss
Brown,” she said.
"Gentleman waiting to see you out
front.”
She looked rather surprised; that !
I
had not been in the scheme. But per- i
j haps be had changed his mind. She
| followed the boy obediently, and was
led face to face with a perfect !
stranger.
Her face grew pink with confusion
us she gazed at him, and he, realizing
the mistake, watched her in amuse- !
tuent. He was a rather loudly dressed
young man with a great air of assur
ance.
For a moment they stared; then he
spoke.
"Not so good,” he said slowly, and
then, as an after thought, "but not so
bad, either!”
And the girl lied in embarrassment.
