Friday, Autc> (», 1909 The days of the present session of Georgia legislature are numbered l Two more days and the agony will be passed. So legislature with which 1 the state lias in all its history been blessed has transacted such a small 1 amount of business. It's not the fault ol the legislatu ■ e. ft's because cer- j tain members, the hopeless minority, tried to thwart the will of the people. . Hat the people still rule, despite the temporary change apparent, j A staid old republican paper in New York, famous for its pessimism, | notable ior its devotion to trusts and corporations, anxious at all times to strike the progressive South, said Sunday in its editorial columns that Joe blown was governor of Georgia, but above .lirn stood a Hoke Smith legisla ture, grinning with power, overshadowing the state with the menace of popu lism. carrying out the principles inaugurated some few years ago by the dom incut (action of the state. Rut the legislature has dr ne r othing that can eficct the material ad vancement of the state. The dog tax: if at last passed, will help. The trad ing stamp bill is a farce, lor the day after its passage the big house at which i|^ a ^ t0 relatives and fi it was aimed, was issuing a new series that complied with the law. The *- ,reene county. McLendon aft air at this hour is unsettled, the appropriation bill is yet to be finished and beyond these there is nothing to the credit, or discredit, of the legislature. So let the republican papers call the legislators—the representatives of the people—what they please, but we're for 'em in spite ol it all. Mr» Edward R.

The verdant scenery on every side is already assuming the robe of autumnal beauty, the sign of fruition is succeeding the beauty of the (lowers that were. The hard labors ol spring are past, the uncertainties of summer are over and gone and the realization ol harvest is near at hand. Perhaps the prospects and promises are more dazzling in Georgia now than they have been in many J ,erson * McIntosh Streets. See years, for in the last year or two things have not been as bright as they might have been. Hut now indications all point to good crops of corn and cotton and the minor things that mean so much to the average man ol the south. Above all their good prices prevailing tend to show that splendid returns may be expected in this way. In Milledgevillc and Baldwin county things seem brighter than usual, for the opening of fall trade will soon be noted and the coming of Ihe col lege students will bring new life and activity to the city. The farmer—folk will sell lots ol cotton, too, at good prices and the man who goes after the patronage of these people will get good reward for labor so expended. If ever Milledgevillc and Baldwin county had splendid prospects it ^is at pres ent. It is a pity that men have to turn to the commercial side of life when it conies to things like this. Coupled with the passing of the summer time and the advance of autumn there must be something in every man’s lile tha* measures for him new responsibilities and new burdens. However, it is easy to bear them if they come from the right sources, for the man who shirks the duties of lite becomes a useless (actor in the life of his community, a sort of parasite that takes something away and never contributes. But spring time of the year brings the (lower, summer the growth and fruition, autumn the harvest and the season of enjoyment conies in winter, And there we have the lesson of life. 1 OL t blami I woman, for she s Jifat auitenog 101 a 11.ue Kindness from you. 1 Open up that tifJvt old head of yourj, Pal —be a |man.

The Cry of Georgia Girls Today. The womanhood of the south has always been of the highest type. Through long years of strife ami succeeding generations ol toil the demon strated t'leii worthiness to positions on the highest pedestal that man could place them. Now alter the south has turned on the road of prosperity nd the higher life that ol education and other thihgs that tend towards the xu- rious—they are again clamoring for position and place in the activities o fe. The most pathetic is the plea of the Georgia girl who wishes to o' ain an education. The Georgia Normal and Industrial College ai Milledgo lie furnishes a striking example of this character. A thousand girls have a- ed lor adm'ssion to the institution and only five hundred out of that thousand can come. All the places are filled. The cry of the girl without an eye to pity her must go unheard, or rather unheeded. She must struggle along and win her way the best she can. Other girls around her perhaps may be able to go son: .'where else, hut these hundreds must look to the state to run an institution where they may find aid. And yet the state is not giving it. There is nothing more pitiful than the human cry, nothing that goes so far into the innermost recesses of a nun's nature as the helpless, pleading, position ol a young girl filled full of desire to do greater and better things Still it seems that the Georgia Normal and Industrial college must lack tor accomodations and hundreds oi these girls can go no where else and find that which they seek here. The wonderful record ol the institution this season is one that com bines a wide scope. There is tribute to the splendid management by Presi dent Parks, there is achievement on the patt of the faculty as a whole, there is a world ol pathos in the letters from the gir's who want to come here, but can’t get a place. It's up to the legislature and if they don't act this year it will be well to send other men there next term.

Baldwin county is about as good county tilings are moving rathe, slowly in view as there is in Georgia when you consider all things.
