Friday, Oct 20, 1009 The first reaf taste of real winter was experienced Sunday. The Putnam county fair ends tomor row, but the stale fair goes on yet. President Taft .will be in AugJsta Monday week.

It’sonly a month until Thnnkgsiving and think what all of us havo to be thankful for this year. Bet’s show ap preciation as best we can. Sunday will jbo Hallowe'en, but oh, the fate of the 'OP Club was Bcalnd bo- fo.e.tho shades of this year's spirit were ever conjured from tho dead past. They say thn man who wrote home sweet home never was a married man, Ha might have been married and board ing and his bonding place might not have been uu delightful as one we know. The Bouth sure is going some, to use an expression which we habdle delicate ly in tho select column of The Nows, but th.nk about the uii ship races in Sav annah next week and the auto races in Atlanta tho week following. We hate to say, some more of that slang, but Atlanta sure is a year behind Savannah now. Next year Atlanta will have airship races. Savannah had tho same auto races Inst year and now they are common in that town. A Jacksonville man, they call 'em Jack in Savannah and Atlanta, savs the Georgia towns can blow all they wish but Jacksonville has the stuff that put a roan up in the air and out of com mission ns quick ns auto and airship flightB. There is a remarkable apathy con cerning state politics for next year. That’s one good thing which can be at tributed to that everlasting registrat ion and prim iry law about which two or three Georgia papers have so much to suv out m public. Somebody is going to hold cotton for twenty cents and take ten before they sell it. And it may be one of the burn ed children of the past. Farmers are slmv to learn, but it was ever thus—, s i the philosophers savs. We'd rather have ten acres of oats growing now than twenty acres of cot ton which will be growing next spring. They say it is possible to sell cotton now for next October delivery. Re- fore long; if this prosperity continues, farmers can actually get a foretaste of Heaven. Rut this is not sacreligiuus, for there's going to be an end to all things, even to the world. Some Baldwin county farmers are I selling home raised hums at twenty | cents per pound. The man doing that si better off than the man selling tif teen cents cotton and buying corn and bacon. The autos in the endurance run will! be in Miliedgeville a week from next [ Monday night, that is. ail of them that endure. Will There Be A Cotton Famine? With every report that comes in now the apparent shortage of tl i # season s cotton crop grows larger. The last girnsrs’ report, wh’ch doe. not deal in estimates but in actual facts and figures, is the most pessimistic of all so (ar as the size of the crop is concerned. Jt inciu le" the operation of all the gins in the cotton sta'es up to October 18, and shows that uo to that date there had been ginned 5,3*0,- 000. or very nearly a m liion bales less than for the c arrcsponding period last year But it shows more than that. It shows that the activity of »he gins had been continued through the first week of October, and that the shortage had been piled tip principilly that date. This is explain ed by the fact that, though the crop is short, this shortage naturally wil| show itself in the later pickings. There will he no top crop this year, any where in the cotton belt, and but very little late picking. At this date the crop is 79 7 per cent picked, against 5 (.5 per cent at this time last year. If 25 per cent mire of the crop picked yielded one million less biles, it docs not require an expert accountant to figure out that the remaining 20 3 per pent to be piejeed will not yicl I enough to bring the entire crop to ten million bales. Until now all estimates have pointed to an 11,000, 000 bales crop, but if the ginners’ report is at all reliable another million bales must be sh 'ved ofl this. In the rneintim: the world s trade will require 13,000,000 bales Amer ican cotton. Industrial conditions having improve I nearly all over the world since last year, the demand for cotton goods will b» increased. And here we have a demand for upward of 13,000,000 bales and to meet it a supply of less than 11,000,000 bales and according to this last ginners’ report, of only :0,000,000 bales. Does this indicate a cotton famine next summer? If not, what does it indicate?—Augusta Herald. Putting Trouble Aside. It is not always the fact that we hold things close to'our eyes that gives us the best view of them. Holding them at arm's length will often reveal them to us in a clearer light and in a broader aspect I think that this is true * IT’S UP TO US. , Miliedgeville, and the names cf 1 Milledgellea citizens and Haldwin coun- ' ties good roads, have been mention in the press of the state more since the good roads movement set in than in years before. This is due largely to the action of a few people in our midsts. As a matter of fact some of our; neighbors have been so stimulated by | the praise that has come to us that it! will be a close question, if wo are not I really surpassed in the matter of good roads, in fact if the race came off to morrow, Washington or some other county might get the praise. Rut if the work now planned can be executed by the tight of Nov. Baldwin'ssu; r ma :y will be established without doubt. But the honor for this work will go to Messes H. H. Barnes A. R. Bloodworth and Chairman G.C. McKinley our pro gressive Commissioners, not forgetting Mr. R. N. Ashfield who has direct supervision of the work. The opportunity is going to present its self on the eighth and ninth of Nov. for every citizen to contribute in some way to impress upon those who will be our gest that this city is just head and shoulders above every thing between Savannah and Atlanta. If the crowds come that are expected many will be called on to heip bed, if not board, some of the visitors. It is up to every citizen of this town to make all who come to our city during the Automobile contest feel that in push, in enthusiasm progress and hos pitality that Miliedgeville is the high point on the Route from Savannah to Atlanta. , j We should say to every other town on this rjn. Do vour best, and then we give you fair notice .‘hat you will be in it. with regini to a good many of the problems that vex us in our daily lives. We live in such close contract with them that we never can see them right not make them reveal to us the reason why we cannot get all out of them thut they promised in the begining. It is because we can gain this larger view, if we wish, that I would like to suggest to you that you give to a good many of the things that are troub ling you to day this “arm’s-length-view." In other words, refuse to permit them to occupy your thoughts lor a day or two, and when the opportunity conies to you to do so, get away by yourself and take up this or that par ticular problem and quietly adjust it. It is such a simple way o( making the “crooked places straight." One woman, who has made a very satisfactory life for herself and her fami'y, once said to me: “1 long ago learned the secret of shelving the problems that couldn’t be explained the moment they arose. 1 refused to permit them to get their strangle hold upon me. When I can think them over quietly I do so with a great gain to the problem as well ar to myself. This habit ol holding trouble at arm’s length gives fine perspective, not only to your own personal questions, but to tnose with whose lives you are brought closely in contact. A. gdbd many women have built up their lives upon the mistaken idea 'hat it was “theirs not to reason why." and let destini look after the results for them But this is because they live face to face with all that fills their existence. This is not holding anything at “arm’s length.”—The I.adies’ world. 9 I.——— ■.■■in. --'JB! 1 L A A Glimpse of Childhood. The preacher faced the hushed ai s‘inblage. They were hanging on his lips, as the papers so often put it. Myriads of eyes were turned to his eyes—calloused hearts were fluttering, a son or two had been heard and then had died away into the breathless silence. “Below heaven there is a sunny land," said the voice, “and that is the land of childhood " Tie speaker’s changeful, very blue eyes were growing dreamy—“that is the land we grown up people all love to stray back to—the land where a mother's dear arm’s hold us away from the griefs we are to know—where there ate daisies alwavs blooming, and merry music in the treetops.and hills and dale* of every ever golden sunshine. Who wouldn’t be a little child again!" The man on the platform was Henry Ward Beecher, the most famous American preacher of his period. The thousands before him were the thousands who crowded his Plymouth Church every Sabbath morning. There through the sunshine—tor the time was sunny June—the preacher paused for a moment and lookid back, This is what he saw: A rambling parsonage on a hill-top. Below it lies a little town trailing ofi into meadow and woodlands. The house is surrounded by summer flow ers that loving hands have planted, It is a pleasant place for any boy to know. To the north and south and east and west ol it are paths to every sort of glorious adventure. From the windows of the sitting-room that gleam like kind and knowing eyes you can catch a glimpse of the highway where the stage coaches dash away to the wonderlands that are going to be! TIere sits a (air-haired boy dreaming of the* future. His eyes are on the road as he drinks in the Iresh rose laden air. When will that winding road call to him? When will it beckon? The man on the platform catches the scent of those roses as he pauses, although that june has been dead nealy half a century—The I.adtes world. Tax paying is next in order. Thanksgiving is not so far away, but on the price of turkey. The trip of president Taft through the south is creating much comment throughout the country.
