In absence of the statistics in the
case, we cannot say with any degree
of accuracy as to whether this is the
wettest year in history. Certain it
is that w e are having some rain. To
the farmer it is extremely discourag
ing. It is bad enough, no doubt, but
the human mind seems naturally to
incline to pessimism and discourage
ment. True, it is that little has been
done on the farms, .and it is true
that the farmers could not do but
little. But for all this we should re
member that the sun shines in real
ity, though it seems to be contrary
to the fact. It will not always rain.
We needed a lot of rain. Only a
short while ago thoughtful ones
were bewailing the fact that our
rainfall was considerably deficient
in fact, it had declined for years
past; whether we have the normal
supply or not now we do not know,
but it remains true we did need much
rain.
As to the somewhat discouraging
crop outlook we, remember a few
things; we remember just such a
year. Farmers had no time to make
any preparation. Planting was late.
Yet, after all, that year was one of
abundant harvest. We might just as
well believe that this is going to be
one of the best years, and then do
everything in our power to make this
come true. We cannot regulate the
weather conditions, but we can ha\e
an optimistic mental attitude towards
all things. We know that the God
of the weather is wiser than any
human wisdom and that all things
are working together for good at all
times.
CORN CLUBS.
We have been making an effort to
get Prof. C. V. Cunningham, organiz
er for this part of the state, to make
an engagement for this county. For
some time past we have been agitat
ing this movement. It seems, how r
ever, that we have aroused scant in

F- OMERS’ UNION OFFICIALS
PLAN A FIGHT FOR
BETTER PRICES.
Union City, March 2, 1912.
The officials of the Farmers - Un
ion met here last week and planned
a campaign for pushing the work of
preparing for the fight of pricing this
year’s crop.
The facts gathered at the recent
convention held in. Macon showed
that 90 per cent, of the members of
the Farmers’ Union grew their home
supplies last year.
The convention elected progressive
officers to continue the advocacy of
growing home supplies. The men
elected were:
Hon. Lawson E. Brown, Sanders
ville, Ga., president.
W. H. Faust, Oglethorpe, Ga., vice
president.
J. T. McDaniel, Union City, Ga., sec
retary-treasurer.
J. L. Lee, Stone Mountain, Ga.,
state organizer.
These men will be actively in
charge of the work, and they are
all hustlers. The local unions will
hear from them.
The Macon meeting of the 15th,
16th and 17th of February was the
best ever held in Georgia by the
Farmers’ Union, and it is confidently
believed the Union will grow even
more rapidly and that thousands who
have never belonged will become
identified with the work.
The Farmers Union is hoping that
the late rains,which have interfered
with the sowing of grain, will not
cause the planting of too much cot
ton. The landlords should see that
at least 50 per cent of their land is
planted in food crops.
The speculators are planning to
get this year's cotton at a basis of
8 cents per pound.
Yours respectfuly,
R. F. DUCKWORTH.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
' FOR SOLICITOR.
To tho Voters of the Dublin Judicial
Circuit:
1 am a candidate for the office of
solicitor general of the Dublin judi
cial circuit, subject to the result of
the primary election to be held in
1912. In event of my election I shall
strive to discharge the duties of the
xdfice rigidly, impartially and faith
fully.
I believe that a solicitor should pros
ecute the rich and the poor, the high
and low alike. Xo man’s money, nor
his social or political standing should
be used to defeat the ends of justice;
that all who violate the law should be
made to endure its penalty.
I am in favor of abolishing the fee
system, placing solicitors general on
a salary, running the courts with dis
patch and economy, strict and due en
forcement of the law, rigid observ
ance of the election law, stamping
out and forever obliterating the use
of liquor and money in elections; a
healthy sentiment that is the expon
ent of the honesty and supremacy of
law and good government.
I respectfully solicit the suffrage of
all the voters of the circuit.
Yours truly,
E. L. STEPHENS.
FOR JUDGE.
Dublin, Ga., Jan^l, 1912.
To the Voters of the Dublin Judi
cial Circuit:
I respectfully announce my candi
dacy for Judge of the Superior Court
of the Dublin Judicial Circuit, and
sincerely ask your support and influ
ence. If I am elected, I shall make
the effort of my life to fill the office
faithfully, impartially and with effi
ciency. Respectfully,
J. E. BURCH.
FOR JUDGE SUPERIOR COURT
DUBLIN JUDICIAL CIRCUIT.
I respectfully announce to the peo
ple of Johnson, Laurens, Twiggs and
Winkinson counties that I am a can
didate for judge of the Superior courts
of the Dublin Judicial Circuit com
posed of these counties, subject to
the Democratic primary.
1 earnestly solicit the support and
influence of the voters of these coun
ties, and if I am elected to this office,
I shall discharge its duties in the fear
of God, and with the highest senti
ments of patriotism for the good of
all the people. I shall use my best
efforts to administer the laws justly,
wisely, speedily, economicaly, fear
lessly and impartially.
Respectfully,
IRA S. CHAPPELL.
TO THE WHITE VOTERS OF WIL
KINSON COUNTY.
I am a candidate to succeed myself
as judge of the Dublin Circuit. The
primary will occur next August,
but as the dockets of the Superior
courts of this Circuit contain many
cases, and as I shall endeavor to
catch up the business of the courts,
I may not have an opportunity of see-
free to Farmers!
