Pickers have been receiving high as $1 and $1.25 for picking, and the low price makes It impracticable to market the staple under the handi cap. The farmers who have decided to plow under their cotton fields have gone about it in a business like way and have ordered fertilizers from the local plants'to go under the oat crop.

Editor Herald:— Recognized as an evil, the State and Federal courts hav eunlformly teclhet in favor of the right if govern mental reghlatlon, control and prohi bition of the liqdor traffic under the police powdr of the st«te. During my two terms as a member of the legislature from Clinch county, where I then resided, In the early eighties, I was among the first In this state to advocate tho abolition of the liquor traffic throughout the country, having prepared, introduced and secured tho passage of a high license law for Clinch for that purpose, and having also drafted similar bills for tho mem hers from at least a dozen other South Georgia counties, and aided them by speech and work in having them en- arted into law, my present home county of Ware being included among tho number. This was done in ac cordance with tho will of tho people, the liquor question having been made an Issue in tho qlection of members of this Legislature. Towards the lattor part of my legislative career 1 made tho dosing speech in favor of the first local option bill which passod the J^ouie but failed In the Senate. Subsequently It became a law.

His Mr. Jim Clyatt, his brother-in- law and other relatives are continu ing tho search and are getting sub stantial assistance from the officers mid some friends. Tlio rewards for his body, dead or alive, now amounts to $400.00. One hundred of this amount was offered by his brother and brothor-ln-law, $100 by Mr. J. N. Bray, $50 by the Masons and $150 by the Elks lodgo. It is understood that several detec- res have also been put to work on e case and that they are sifting it tb thoroughly ns possible, hut saying nothing.

Tlie (ruth about over tho state as to be within [ la that fo far as political results are easy reacr of our negro population concerned the liquor question has no and the blind tigers roaming amid the counties made legally dry, a leg islature fresh from the people In 1907, ought to ask. The present legists- ture Is known to be In favor of main talnlng our stato wide prohibition law, and as It wll^ servo during tjio unexplred term for which the people are xo soon to nominate and elect a Governor, and as tho law needs no change but strict enforcement, -\vlth place Hi the -pending campaign and should not be considered beyond Vot ing against Judge Russell for his knowing the evil and the wishes of challenge to make It an lisue upon their constltutents, enacted our pres ent State wide prohlblton law as the only means of reaching the evil, and If It Is strictly and Impartially en forced everywhere, aa Governor Brown says v all our laws should be, It will undoubtedly fully accomplish, the great- good It was designed to do, and which It has already done towards accomplishing. It la .not more taw that la need, but the oJ eBrowq of enforcement of the law and bla policy against too free pardons being granted again enthroned In the guberatorlal office. True we bare the llcenied neap beer saloons but If the same measure of enforcement of the law la applied "to them, beer which will intoxicate cannot be told under protection of each Ucenae, nor ha made a cover for blind tigers. I, myaelf am opposed to even these near beer saloons, but with the policy advocated by Jee Brown en forced, much, If not all the evils Row ing from them, pan he suppressed add the state at the same time protect legitimate Investments made In brew eries within its border* for the man ufacture of lawful near, beer, and get the beneRt of I3e revenue It derives from that source. It Is not our (late breweries that furnish Jntoxlcatlngj the now obsolete local option idea so far aa the sale of liquor in Georgia la concerned, and voting against Pope Brown also for having no better Judg ment than to accept such a hollow challenge and trying to drag the great moral queatlon of tamperanoe Into a meaningless poIltlCal'campalgn scrum bit for office. If the preachers of Georgia have no more discretion then to undertake on Sunday next to carry out the unwise behests of the .Anti- Saloon League, under the leadership of a few opponents of Governor Brown and supporters of Pops Brown, aa embodied In their published letter of the 3rd Instant, tbalr congregation ought to rabuke them by matching out In a body.
