FOR
WILL HOKE SMITH RUN
GOVERNOR?
The question as to whether Hon.
Hoke Smith will or will not be a candi
date for Governor in the coming State
campaign has been for several months
past a prolific theme among political
quid nuncs upon which to base con
jecture as to the future plans and aspi
rations of the distinguished gentleman
reforred to, and as a consequence all
sorts of rumors have been put afloat.
One day an apparently authentic roport
affirms that he will be in the race, only
to be doubted the next, and finally de
nied. According to one report Mr.
Smith, while not a candidate himself,
will see to it that some man represent
ing his “policies” and his faction in
State politics will be put forward at
the proper time to oppose the preten
sions of Gov. Brown for a second term
Another report declares that Mr.
Smith, having already enjoyed the
honor of filling the Governor’s office,
•does not desire another term, but is
conserving his forces for a contest with
Hon. A. 0. Bacon two years hence for
the latter’s seat in the United States
Senate — unless, perchance, Senator
Clay's seat Bhould become premnturely
vacant, in which event ho would go af
ter that.
It is well-known that Mr. Smith has
an ambition to go to the United States
Senate some time. While Mr. Smith
is not lacking in courage, neither is
he lacking altogether in discretion,
and it is not likely that he would risk
the chance of u second defeat for the
Governorship and the consequent dam
age to his prestige merely to satisfy
a political grudge against a former op-
.■ponent. IIe has bigger game in sight,
and it is safe to say that he will hazard
no chunces in a second bout with the
ugly but doughty little man who worst
ed him so badly in the last campaign.
.Meanwhile Gov. Brown is curled up
very contentedly in the big red chair at
the capitol, and “sayin’ nothin’ to no
body.” •

Mr. E. S. Daniel Gives Talk on “Big
Boll" Cotton.
Editors Herald and Advertiser:
As a demonstrator appointed by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture two
yearB ago, I want to tell the farmers of
Coweta what I have learned by being a
demonstrator. The man that appointed
me had me to mark my reports from
Palmetto, Campbell county, Ga. He
told me he would furnish seed to plant
—corn and cotton seed. I told him
had as good corn as he could furnish
me, and when he saw my corn he said
ho could not beat it. He furnished me
me 76 bushels of cotton seed with
•According to an estimate made by
the State Department of Agriculture,
the sales of fertilizer the present sea
son will reach 800,01)0, costing approxi
mately $16,000,000, or an average of
$1.60 for each of the ten million acres
likely to bo under cultivation this yenr.
' The largely increased use of fertilizers
by the formers of Georgia during the
past ten years is by no means a bad
isign. While the amount spent for fer
tilizers seems largo, the returns in in
creased productivity are also great—
imuch more than enough to offset the
■outlay. Indeed, he would be regarded
jis a thriftless farmer nowndavs who
tried to make a crop without commer
cial fertilizer of some kind.
which to plant four acres in cotton.
When I saw the cotton seed I thought
at first I would not plant them, for
had been planting the big boll varie
ties for about thirty years, and every
body that had cotton seed to sell ad
vertised them as "Big Boll.” So
planted the seed on four acres that had
been lying out because it was too poor
to rent, and I got 2,493 lbs. lint cotton
off the four acres.
Now, Mr. Editor, I have been profited
by being appointed a demonstrator,
learned that the big seed cotton had
fooled the farmers for about thirty
years. Big bolls, big leaves, big stalks,
big, coarse seed, coarse lint, coarse
hulls around the locks, and it takes
1,600 lbs. of it to make a 600-lb. bale.
Let me tell you what happened
last week. I had (I thought) about
1,600 lbs. of cotton in the seed, more or
less. I carried it to R. D. Tatum to
gin, hauling it on two wagons. He re
fused to put it in one bale, and made
two bales of it, which weighed 649 lbs.
at the warehouse. I sold him the seed,
and they weighed 960 lbs., or 32 bush
els. Now, that sounds big, but Bob
Tatum has the seed, and you can see
them re-weighed, and I have the cotton
in my possession.
Boys, go to thinking, and don’t let
any man fool you longer with the name
“Big Boll.” The Cook cotton is the
biggest boll, after it opens, of any va
riety in this country; and I tell you
more, the time is coming when 1,000
lbs. of cotton in the seed will make 600
lbs. of lint; so you must come down to
business and plant cotton with seven
seed to the lock instead of nine, and
also a cotton with long tap-root.
E. S. Daniel.
P. S.—I will give my plan for mak
ing upland corn in my next letter, and
how I have improved my corn since I
came to Palmetto. Then if you want a
watermelon letter, I will fix it for you,
also. E. S. D.
Palmetto, Ga., Jan. 31st.
Newnan, Ga., Oct. 5, 1909.
The cotton exhibited by E. S. Dan
iel, of Palmetto, is a very fine quality
of lint, and will spin Nos. 40 to 60 yarn
without trouble. It is hard to secure
enough of it in this country.

Judge Mose Wright opened his cam
paign for Congress in the Seventh dis
trict Monday with a speech at Ring-
gold, and stated that he would speak
all over the district before the campaign
closed. It is understood that Hon. Gor
don Lee has decided to stand for re-
election, having been urged to do so by
thousands of his constituents through
out the district, regardless of his avowal
two years ago that ho would not be a
candidate in the present campaign.
His formal announcement,'and the rea
sons therefor, will bo given to the pub
lic next week, it is said.
At a primary election held in the'Sec
ond district yesterday to nominato a
candidate to succeed the late Congress
man Griggs, Hon. S. A. Roddonberry,
of Thomas, was the successful contest
ant, defeating Hon. W. N. Spence, of
Mitchell, Hon. J. P. Knight, of
Berrien, and by a plurality of 1,600.
Mr. Roddenberry carried^,fourteen of
the eighteen counties composing .the
■district.
Congressman Adamson has succeeded
in getting an item in the rivers and
liurbors bill, reported to Congress yes
terday, appropriating $75,000 for the
improvement of the Chattahoochee river
below Columbus. This makes over half
a million dollars that Congressman
Adamson has secured for this river
since he entered Congress, and the mon
ey has been well spent, too.

garding the sample of cotton, will say
that after examination I consider it the
best cotton that I have seen in this sec

Oity Council Thanked by Ministeri
al Association.
Some months ago the Newnan Min
isterial Association petitioned the City
Council to revoke the near-bear licenses
issued to the various dealers of the city,
but as the licenses had been paid for up
to Dec. 31 the request could not of course
be granted. At the first meeting of
the Council in January, however, the
license was fixed at $3,000, and such
regulations prescribed governing the
conduct of saloons as to effectually put
an end to the traffic. In appreciation
of this action on the part of the City
Council the Newnan Ministerial Associ
ation, at its meeting on Monday last,
adopted the following resolution, viz:
“Whereas, this is the first meeting
of the Ministerial Association since the
action of the City Council in reference
to near-bear. Therefore, be it—
“Resolved, That we most heartily
approve their action, and commend the
officers of the law for their vigilance.
“J. E. Hannah, Pres’t.
“J. S. Hardaway, Sec’y.”
Realization never comes to those who
decline to hope.
