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. if 5,( Clubs membership lists vyi 11 age 10,000. There were 370 xu.vw. There were 370 Georgia 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. — the “First Regiment,. Corn Club Scouts of Georgia,” during the Georgia"Corn.Show to be hold in the State Capitol; bull- • ding, Atlanta! Dec. 3 4 5 and 6 ■ Capt. W. H. Leahy,' of the Fifth, .will act as organizer, and 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 club boys on Dec. 4, by the At lanta Chamber of Commmrce, at which addresses will be made by Governor Jos.
