Macon Telagraph: In estimating
• She damage to the orange and fruit
crop in Florida, the general public
seems to have quite overlooked that
Georgia has herself sustaiaed an
immense loss in tbe^wsy'of ruined
•ats. We have it from'reliable au
thority that te lar south as Baker
• county the ground was frozen solid
• -te the depth' of live inches. This
beyond t doubt insures the destruc
tion of the fall oat*, end neceesi-
tatey immediate preparation* for re
planting.
Georgia’s oat crop has become
necessary factor in the welfare Of,
the farmers, and this backset should
.not-dishearten them- The loss in
f Florida -^irretrievable; not so, the
•loss here.*- AlittVloduatry and the
farmers will stand, as before with
the exception of th*|firat outla for

Georgia ts outranked among the
cotton states as a corn grower by
only Texae,Tennessee and Arkan
sas, in the order named Georgia
holds the fourth place,'and Is close
ly pressed by both Virginia and
Alabama. Illinois is tl
corn-producing state in
and'Iowa Is next lu rank. Gi

is excelled by both Texas and-Ten

these states, to snm up the cereal
position, Texas in first, Tennessee

fourth. | ^'
An Oregon society offered a
purse for the best time In a trotting
match and then refused,
to the winner.- The latter sued for
it. The society set up the defense
that- contending for a prize was
equivalent to betting, and therefore
unlawful.
The supreme court of that state
says there is a radical distinction
between a contest for a wager and
competition for a prize. The for
mer is unlawful, the latter lawful.
That is good sense as well as sound
ltw.
Mr. C. E-Srfiith, ot Washington,
Ga., propounds the following ques
lions to the members of the state
executive committee j
1. “Are you pleased with the op
eration of the civil service law?”
2. “Will it be helpful or hurtful
to the democratic party?”
3. “Would you favor a vote for
its repeal by the democratic mem
bers of congress?”
The opinions of the executive
committee are very different in re
gard to civil service.
Judge Henry C. Rooney has been
called to the capitol by Governor
McDaniel to preside in the state su
preme’court during the illness of
Chief Justice James Jackson. The
compliment is a very high one, but
in well paid to one of the ablest as
well as youngest superior court
judges in the country. > ‘

It is stated that a pound of ban
