My homeless friend with the ruby nose, while you are stirring up the sugar in that ten-cent glass of gin, let me give you a fact with which to wash it down. You say you have longed for years for the free, independent life of the farm er, but have never been able to get enough money together to buy a farm. Hut this is just where you are mistaken. For several years you have been drinking a good im proved farm at the rate of one hundred square feet a gulp. If you doubt this statement, figure it out for yourself. An acre of land contains forty-three thiusar.d, five hundred and sixty square feet. Fstimating, for convenience, the land at forty three dollars and fifty- six cents per acre, you will see that this brings the land to just one mill per square foot, one cent for ten square feet. Now pour down that fiery dose and just im agine you are swallowing a straw berry patch. Call in five of your friends and have them help you gulp down that five hundred foot garden, (jet on a prolonged spree some day, and see how long a time it requires to swallow a pasture large enough to teed a cow, Put down that glass ol gin! There is dirt in it— one hundred square feet of good, rich dirt, worth forty-three dollars and fifty-six cents per acre. Hut there are plenty of farms which do not cost forty-three dol lars and fifty-six cents per acre. What an enormous acreage has gone down many a homeless drink- ei’s throat! No wonder such men are buried in the “potter’s field;” they have swallowed farms and gardens ami homes,-—Selected. With the Exchanges Judge Russell’s Fatal Error. ■Judge Russell has one plank in h s platform which is a fatal error ta his candidacy, which is his prop osition to exempt $300 of property from taxation. That simply means to relieve the negro population of Georgia from helping to support the government of the State. There are few negroes who have more property than $300. Why •fudge Russell wishes to relieve the negro from taxation we can not imagine—Middle Georgia Farmer. 1! pons AND PARKS! Russell’s Home County Will Vote For Smith. No one who was among the peo ple here last Saturday afternoon and talked with them can doubt the strong sentiment for Hoke Smith in all the sections around Winder. We candidly believe that out of over i2op men here from Jackson, Walton and Gwin nett last Saturday, outside of the voters of Winder, 1,000 of them are and will remain Hoke Smith supporters. Few men who have talked with the people of Jackson, Walton and Gwinnett have any doubt about these three counties. They will all go for Hoke Smith. — Winder Economist.

Handy, Ga. Our forefathers had Tories to contend with in tiie heroic days of '76 and we have them with us yet Tories in so far as they are un- 1 reasonably and violently opposed to anything that interferes with | the existing state of things. These present day Tories are almost as I deeply rooted in their hatred of newspapers as was Napoleon. They regard the press as the par ticular agent of the evil one, anil while they read it assiduously characterize its utterances in one sweeping generalization as "news paper lies.” To this class President Cassatt’s general denial of tiie charges against the Pennsylvania railroad and his warning that persistence in the investigation would result in loss of confidence and in gen eral depression from which the business of the whole country would suffer appeal with peculiar force. Scenting a panic, they would submit to anything to avert it. It will be observed that business disaster is what all of these sinners ; in high places predict when the press begins to expose their evil and dishonest practices. The in- 1 surance men raised the cry; so did the tackers, and now the Pennsyl vania railroad joins them. The duty of the press is clear. While being cate|ul to get the ex act truth as far as possible, news papers jwill not be frightened by the cry of wolf, If the truth is sensational, it is not their fault. Let those who are responsible for it pay the price of their dishonesty. Newspapers will "cry aloud and span* not,” for it is not only their duty, but a privilege as well. Those who are so eager to de nounce the pTess on the slightest provocation ought to know that it is easier to fake and exaggerate in any other way.
