Another Seasonable Admonition
to The Farmers of This Locality
Plant a little more corn, cowpeas, for they will strelv make jou money. «
I o'.itics may be brewing and tins weather will sure ripen things fast. ♦
T ie corn crop of Baldwin county wt’l he a hummer, according to reports.
Cutting hay has occupied the attention of farmers during the past week
It seems there wil be plenty of fruit to supply home needs this year.
The tanners arc having trouble getting labor this year, but it aftords a
9; er.did opportunity for one man to do the work ol two or three.
The value ol land still increases and in this section it will continue to
■ r < v for quite awhile yet and there's no mistake in that.
The best men make mistakes, but there is some profit in taking cogniz
at.i e ot the mistakes ol others and turning into the right road.
Time is advancing and crop work is progressing. It will
soon be tune to quit planting staple crops and farmers ate now
turning their atention to cultivation. But don't you forget to use
eveiy little part of ground possible and devote every enetgy to
growing trie tilings needed at home.
Cotton is continuing to show up well in price, but corn is
climbing skyward, too. It wont be profitable to grow a big crop
ot cotton, no matter what the price if you have to buy hay and
corn and meat next year. Take that tact down, abso.b it, act on
your own initiative.
Whether cctton goes high or low, no matter if grain is cheap,
or dear, if you have the supplies needed at home you are virtually
tree from all inconvcntenres suttered by those who are depending
on outride conditions to remedy evils ot so-called public nature.
There are facts that you can't ignore.' II you are planning /
a late patch of anything to come along after grain, don't forget to
plant one acre less ot cotton and one acre more ofrtrn. We want
to make that simple slogan the prosperity cry ol the whole cotton
belt now.
If we succeed—and we will—want wdl not stalk around in
the cotton belt, our wives, children, sisters, brothers, nor ourselves
will have to work so incessantly to accomplish the same results.
Don't get the idea tnat this is farming on paper, that the writer
knows nothing of the practical side, that this is simply a prose ex
pression.
That's net true, we're simplv plowing in new ground—new-
ground in farm writing. If you’ve evet done anything much in a
larm way you know how many snag<-, stumps, roots and other in
conceivable objects you encounter, but time will win out oyer anv
old new ground.
We're going to keep plowing, but we want the neighbors and
all the folk to join hands at the big log rolling we have under con
sideration. Wont you be a helper in this work? If you'll plant
one acre more of corn and one acre less of cotton after grain you
will accept our invitation and there will be a reward along about
Christmas time.
Congress seems to be qu« st oning
whether the trusts, which have been

The Political Talk in Georgia
S IZZLING summer time again promises to bring some politics in Geor
gia, though this is an oft year. We hate to see such a situation con-
t routing the state and it could possibly be averted, hut men who know things,
or rather should know, tell us that it is a hopeless case. They argue that i'
is a fotegonc conclusion that Hon. Hoke Smith, governor elect of Georgia,
will be named in spite ol everything. The Augusta Chronicle, erstwhilr
* lampion ol anything hut Smith, said on its editoriil page last Sunday week
that such would be the case and it was further averred that when he got
•' sre precedents would vanish like dew before the morning sun and there
-would he no sitting quietly by while the nation's lulure was in the balance,
(>u with Bacon and Smith in the Senate the world would soon realize that
Georgia was represented in the Senate, and right muchly, at that.
However, lie that as it may if the governor elect goes up—if indeed the
Senate ol these United States is upward irom Governor ot Georgia, a thing
«*e very much doubt indeed, in the lignt ot recent events—there will he
plenty more to do in Georgia politics. For some years we have been per
ambulating around amid the policitians on both sides of the creek not that
we've been at any of this (lopping, but because we’ve got the kind of friends
<m both sides that stick—and consequently we've heard a thing or two in
the way of buzzing of the political bees in the summer time tor the last fout
oi fisc years.
Taking it for granted that there will he a vacancy in Georgia's gover
•unship—deplorable we haven't a lieutenant governor—there must be an
election t ailed within sixty days. Of course, we must have the primary and
How is This For Vagrancy Town?
There's nothing akin to quitting with us when we start the right thing.
And with the help of friends and with respect for law and higher morals vie
would gladly turn hack fr jih a wrong course started, no muter it there be
others who would not. So again a question ol vital importance to the city
is brought up here, like we might bring up one oi interest to this paper it
self What are we going to do about vagrants?
A reputable citizen avers that he saw tq negroes going fishing U’ednes
day morning. There were over j.» idle at the same tune on one block in
Milledgeville That sort of thing wont do. Somebody has got to furnish
food and clothing for the gang. This sort of a situation is crime breeding
in it every sense. /
We are in favor of law enlorcement. II the police of the city can't
remedy the c*’il let the mayor and councilmen take it upon themselves to
ask every idle man what he is doing, where he is working, and it he is not
working asceitain the reason why not. That will change the complexion of
things. If there must be vagrants don't let s have them here, there’s too
much woik to do anil now is the time to make the change. Get busy.
Now we can eat a good meal at a
nice place —that's what they all say at

taurant, next door to postoffice.
