They are compelled to handle all lils without getting much pay Of cou-se the foycotiing business will soon,ceasej and those who en- gaged in It will realise how foolish t|*y have been. They will be ashamed of it—those that have any sense,of ehapie—th^t they will avoid any reference to it Such a thing could hardly happen in a large city where men haven't time to engage in auch little meanness. People Who jive in cities are no better than , people who live in the country, bul ■' their very surroundings and occu ‘ pationa keep them -from, the petty exhibitions of partisan feeling that is frequently seen in rural commu nities. To refuse to buy stamps of a -postmaster because he happens to belong to a different political party, J".2rd*r to preveat him Irom de riving an income from his office is about as contemptible a business as a man can engage in.—Savannah News. 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.

This beyond t doubt insures the destruc tion of the fall oat*, end neceesi- tatey immediate preparation* for re planting.

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. > ‘ The Marietta Journal has the har dihood to call the President’* sinter an “old maid.” Look out for razor* and broomsticks.
