We owe it to the community in
which we live to do everything we
can in every way possible that, will
be to its advantage Our neighbor’s
prosperity means a great deal more
to us than some ones who lives else
where. We should bear this in
mind in buying our goods. We j
can alTcrd io pay our home man a
firm price for his wares rather
than send our money away, know
ing as we do that every dollar ex
pended with our own citizens will
help in sustaining our schools,
churches and public institutions.
It pays richly to patronize home

Georgia is the fourth state of
the United States so far as agri
cultural interests are concerned,
but is woefully lacking in upto- 1
date state fair grounds. Practicn'-
ly every state in the union has
made large appropriations for
their state fair in recent years
with the exception of Georgia.

If Ex-Gov Brown Should be a Can
didate. ;
. i
So far as the public kbows fer' |
mer Gov Brown has made no res
ponse to the movement to make
him a candidate for Governor to
fill the vacancy that will exist
| when Gov. Smith resigns to take
• his place in the Senate, and as far
as the public is informed nobody
is in a position to say what res
ponse he will make, but if he
should be a candidate it is a safe
prediction that he would be elec
ted. He would have the support
not only of the faction that sup
ported him in the last guberna
torial contest, but also of very
many of those who supported Gov.
Smith. There would be fewer can
didates than if lie should decide
against entering the contest be
cause of the feeling that he would
be nominated.
He would be chosen Governor
again for two reasons, namely, the
splendid record he mude us the
btate’6 chief executive and the dis
satisfaction growing out of Gov.
Smith’s virtual abandonment, at
the call of ambition, of the work
he was chosen to do.
It is true of course that the
great majority of those who are
calling on foimer Gov. Brown to
become a candidate were his sup
porters in his cumpaing against
Gov. Smith, but all of them are
not. A big per cent of those who
opposed him think that Gov.
Smith should have remainek in
the gubernatorial office and car
ried into effect the policies which
were the basis of his claim for sup
port for the office. Not only that,
but there is a feeling that under
the circumstances Gov. Smith had
no right to put the people to the
trouble and expense of a guberna
torial campaign. To fill the office
of Governor there will have to be
two elections and an extra session
of the Legislature. It is apparent
therefore that the cost of satisfy
ing Gov. Smith’s ambition will be
considerable, And in addition to
this cost, there is a strong proba
bility that the Smith policies will
not be carried into effect.
But suppose former Gov Brown
should pe chosen Governor again,
wouldn’t he stand a good chance
of succeeding Gov. Smith in the
Senate provided his second admin
stration \va9 as good a9 his first?
He would appear as being ready
and willing to serve tne people
whenever they wanted his services,
It must lie apparent to anyone
that he would gain no additional
honor by being chosen Governor
at this time-chosen to fill out Gov,
Smith’s unexpired term. The sal
ary is no inducemont and the of
fice isn’t free from worries and
heavy burdens.
Thinking people all over the
state would look at the situation
and compare the record of the two
men, with the result, in all prob
ability, that if Gov. Brown wanted
to go to the senate and were a can
didate against Gov. Smith when
the latter went before the people
for re-election, they would give
him their support. It is within the
bounds of probability that the tued
between Gov. Smith and former
Gov. Brown hasn’t been fought
out yet. —Morning News.

arette set fire to a barn, and eleven

Agriculture as a Science.
Washington, D. C., July—Hail
Wo the tifier of the soil. He has
won the respect of the world. Per
hap- you have noticed that it is
not so common to decry his oc
cupation as it used to be before
Uncle Sam discovered it to lie a
science. Now young men are flock
ing to the agricultural schools and
colleges and many of them are
graduating >nto nrotessorships, or
into positions as experts with the
government. One of the latter nas
just returned from Washington
after spendingtwo months in Spain
and Sicily investigating lemon
growing. The citrus fruit growers
of California held his talents in
esteem that they tried to him
to go out there. When they got up
to an offer of SIO,OOO a year sal
ary he succumbed, and he is now
Secretary and Manager of the Cit
rus Protective League of Californ
ia, a model business organization
of agriculturalists, which has been
fighting for a . tariff on lemons
that will permit the industry to
survive. Having secured that tar
iff, the organization is now com
bating the organized campaign of
the Sicilian importers to have it
reduced. The latter have raised a
big fund to affluence public opin
ion in this country and to affect
the Legislation.
New Kinds of Sickness.
Men were never seasick till they
went to sea, nor airsick till they
began the practice of aviation, so
that the conquest of the air has
brought with it a new kind of ill
ness. Incidentally, it may be ob
served that this sudden seizure in
midair may account for some of
the wrecks which hitherto have ap
peared inexplicable. The rapid as
cent of 3,000 feet, altering the at
mospherie pressure, affects the res
piration and the pulse, costing
both the lungs and the heart great
ly increased labor. Headache and
nausea are the result. Just as
mountianclimbers are made ill by
changing their altitude, so it is
with aviators, but in a greater de
gree, because the change in the lat
ter case is made more quickly. An
aviator ascends much more rapid
ly than a mountain climber. But
the birdman’s descent is worse yet
He is accustc med to come down
in ten minutes from an altitude at
tained by him in an hour or even
longer. What is still more strange,
aviators report a sudden seizure of
drowsiness, like that of men about
to freeze to death The eyes close
in spite of all that they can do to
keep them open, than which no
thing under such conditions could
be more dangerous.—Ex.
