OVER 400 ELECTORAL VOTES.
The second concert of the Ly-
ceum course was given Tuesday
night at the Court House,
• before-a large and appreciative
audience, thoroughly in sympa-*
thy with the comyany, ahd en
thusiastic; in its reception of the
varied numbers pleasingly ren
dered by the members of the
company. • . • .
On account of missing tram
connection at Bainbridge, the
-company was forced .to .make .the
trip through the country in> ap
automobile, and it was not until
after eight o’clock that the con
cert began. The audience was
well repaid for its patience, as
each number given struck an ap
preciative chord to the good will
of the well filled room.
The program was made .up of
' popular selections, and was most
excellent. Special mention is
due to Miss Paddock, soprano,
•Whose flute-like voice delighted
everyone. The ensemble work
of the company was finished and
showed conscientious training,
with good taste displayed in the
*W^icdm^tfes talented company

they be so fortunate as tobe able
to secure their sei vices igain.

GOV. JOSEPH M. BROWN
A GOOD F
BOERS OF
BOVS' CORN GLOB
Gov. Joseph M. Brown is one
of Georgia’s most enthusiastic
“cornboys;” There is no more
ardent supporter of, or enthusi
asts believer in the Boys’ Corn
Clubs than the governor. Not
only: that, but he puts his theo
ries and principles into practice,
and has himself grown this year
on a large tract at hi& Cherokee
county farm, 125 bushels to the
acre. The governor says he re
alises that he is not quite up to
the mark made by many of the
boys, but that'he is going to try
and do better next year. Already
he holds the world’s record tor
corn grown by Governors.
As an evidence of the enthusi
astic interest aroused in corn
growers in Georgia through the
instrumentalities of the Boys
Corn Clubs, the membership. in
these clubs throughout the state
has doubled in twelve months.

10,000. There were 370

boys in attendance on last year s
coi;n show; this year.it is already
evident there will 1,000 or more.
The number of exhibits, too, will
be doubled at the Georgia Corn
Show in Atlanta, Dec. 3 to 6 in
clusive, a full increase of 100 per
cent ane more all ’round.
The experience of Mr. W. —
Searcy, of this city, with two
pecan tr es on his place in town
shows the wonderful possibilities
of that tree in this section. Mr
Searcy has up to this time picked
over a hundred pounds of the
finest quality of nuts, over
ninetp pounds peing sold in local
markets for the price of 60 cents
per pound. The trees in ques
tion are. nine and eleven years
old. ‘
Iowa and Wyoming.
This is the result recorded, thus far, of
the most wonderful campaign in the Nations
history. No presidential nominee in the history
of the past 60 years has been given such an
overwhelming suppbrt as that given to Gover
nor Wilson on Tuesday. The greatest polti
cians in the country were simply amazed at the
vote polled for the Democratic nominees; and
while the election of Wilson was confidently
predicted by nearly every well informed student
of politics, yet the wonderful success which at
tended the democratic party in every section of
the Nation was a revelation, and showed in the
most convincing manner, that the people ns a
whole have come to regard the democratic par
ty, and its wonderful leader, Wilson, with res
pect and confidence, and have determined, by
the greatest vote in years, that to the democratic
party shall be entrusted the affairs of the coun
try for the next four years, at least.
And the success which has attended the
national democratic ticket has carried with it an
increased strength in the House of Representa
tive, while even the Senate, the hitherto rock-rib
bed stronghold of high tariff and republicanism,
may be democratic next March, as the returns
show that it is likely a sufficient number of
states have instructed their legislatures to select
democratic senators to insure a party majority
in the Senate.,, This will give Wilson the sup
port of Congress, and greatly effectuate the
work of the party in carrying out the democrat
ic program.

Capt. W. H. Leahy,' of the

the visiting corn club boys will,
be given special training which
will be of value to them in their
farm life. This will lead up to. the
big parade of the Georgia Boys’
Corn Clubs through the streets
of Atlanta, headed by the Gov
ernor and the Fifth regiment in
fantry—an imposing spectacle
which will go out to the wor ld in
pictures, as an evidence of what
energy and industry have done
and can do for Georgia soil.
The boy scout movement has
hot grown very fast in the south
for. the want "6£ proper organiza
tion and direction. The' Georgia
corn boys who come to Atlanta,
Will carry back home the impor
tant and elementary principals
of it which they wifi be able to
disseminate among their friends;
and as the work is developed at
each successive Georgia Corn
Show—for this has become a
permanent institution—Georgiy
will soon be filled with boy scout
companies which are an unques
tioned element of value to a com
munity, assisting as they do, in
safeguarding: peace and safety
of the people in rural homes.
As these boys grow older they
Will become the backbone of the
national guard. : . •
A complimentary dinner will
be tendered the visiting corn
