“Johnny,” mid the atom parent,
“my father need to whip me when
{ behaved at the table as badly as
yon are doing.”
“Well,” rejoined the precocious
youngster, ‘T hope I’ll never have
to-make a confession like that to
my little boys,”—Chicago News.
The Same Advice.
“Do you give your son good ad
vice?” said the solicitous friend.
“Yes,” answered the somewhat
sardonic person. “I give him the
same good advice that my father
gave me and that my grandfather
doubtless gave him. If we keep
passing that advice along from gen
eration to generation perhaps we
shall eventually find somebody who
fill take it.”—Washington Star.
The coming Presidential election on November 5th,
will be the first opportunity in twenty years that the Dem
ocrats of the South have had of casting their votes for a
strong candidite whose chances of election seems favora
ble. In times past in the twenty years they have votec
for good men; men whom the country would have been
wise in placing in the chair of thr chief executive, but it
has been only this year when their Votes will be cast with
more than a chance of seeing their candidate selected by
the Nation.
Not only by the Democrats of the Nation, but even
by many of the best informed party men of the opposition,
the election of Wilson is predicted, So numerous and. so
confident have these predictions become, that Democrats
have grown somewhat over-confident; especially in the
Southern states where the party is in control.
It is not wise, however, for Georgians to rest assured
of victory without exerting themselves to make it abso
lutely certain as to their share in its result. We should
poll a full vote in Georgia for Wilson; more particularly
since we have in the campaign the unusual spectacle of thre
strong candidates, each making a bid for the votes of the
people. While this condition naturally favors Wilson, it
is well to remember that in the South there are many
who are staunch admirers of the ex-president, and also
many who will vote for Taft. In view of this fact, Geor
gians should be careful to exercise their right of suffrage
on election day, and overwhelm the vote that is certain
to be cast for the active opposition. Not that there is any
serious danger in Georgia going into the Republican or
Progressive column, if Democrets will simply get out,and
vote, but it is their duty to vote, and prevent any posibil-
ity of any of the Congresional districts of the state going
for either Taft or Roosevelt.
It would seem that it would be a matter of pride for
Georgia to poll a strong Democratic vote at this time, es
pecially since the nominee of the party is of southern
birth and parentage; and also for the reason that any cit
izen of Georgia would be glad to Vote for the man who is
successful in securing the office, for the first time in a
score of years.
We hope that Grady county will roll up a good vote
i election day. We staid have twelve or fifteen bun-

Getting Around It.
8.', Washington official was talking
about a certain resourceful corpora
tion.
“They can got round anything,”
he said, a touch of admiration in his
voice. “They remind me of a Nar-
ragansett girl.
“A Narragansett girl>, driving a
sixty horse power gray roadster, ad
mitted:
“ 'Yes, I’ve accepted David.’
“ f Why,’ said the girl beside her
'you told me positively that, if Da
vid proposed to you, your answer
would be a word of two letters.’
“The other girl, blushing a little,
said softly:
“ :< But I answered Dave In Ger
man,’ ”—L03 Angelos Times.

“Oh, you. is itf” murmurs the
wif«v meeting her husband at the
reception.
“Yes. Glad to see you,” he
smiles. “Had half an idea I'd run
across you here.”
'Tsn’t it nice? Oh, there was
something I wanted to ask you
about—I thought of it just after I
saw you at the theater the last
time,” she says. “It was something
important, too: But it has entirely
slipped my mind.” -
“Well, maybe you’ll think of it
. by the next time we meet. I sup
pose you’ll be at the horse show.
Perhaps by then it will have oc
curred to you again.”—Judge’s Li
