GOING AFTER A FARM DEMONSTRATOR
The fact that there is to be a farm demonstrator in
Baldwin county this year is evidence that there are quite a
lew people here -who are inclined to support measures that
might have tendency to bring about relief from the effects
at the boll weevil and other obstacles coming in our way
at this time.
Only a few days ago a few of the progressive citizens
in Milledgeville and throughout the county set out with
a determination to raise whatever money that was neces
sary to secure for this county a farm agent. This under
taking was completed Monday of this week, indcating that
with some an unusual amount of enthusiasm must have
Been displayed when the question was brought up for
consideration. As a matter of fact the spending of but
little time was necessary in order to raise through private
subscriptions the runes required to insure the county ot
the services of a man versed in instructing along diversifi
cation lines.
It is to be hoped that in the future less evidenco of
discord will be displayed in regards to any progressive un
dertaking that might be gone about. A few years ago
the object to free Baldwin county of cattle tick infection
was met with considerable opposition, but fortunately such
stumbling blocks were soon thrust aside. Stock raisers
were soon convinced that the discovery of some practical
method for destroying the cattle tick would result in
great benefit and within a short time harmony wus seen
to take the place of discord.
Even during the past year it was trade plain that quite
a number of people in this county had changed from
their former v ersion as to the value of a (arm demonstra
tor. At least a few men who never before expressed
thomeelvos as being concerned in thb employment of a
farm demonstrator later became open in declaring them-
telves as favoring the plan. Some declared themselves
r.s being enthused over the idea of retaining a man train
ed as a specialist in diversified forming.
Owing to the fact that a few business men of .Milledge
ville an 1 farmers of BaUkvin county have gone into their
own pockets fer the necessary f ads to employ a farm
demonstrat jr there should lie no kick coming from these
r.ot inclint ! to make an appropriation for such a purpose.
KINDNESS TO ANIMALS
(From The Auguata Chronicle)
..The growth of the movement t> bring abeut the better
treatment of dumb animals has been wonderful, und i.l
this time is mere rap.. t ; an ever beiore. Leaiiuj cu this
topic, there has be; u sent us, by the Augusta Humana So
ciety, the following, a splendid edit-rial from the Charles,
ten American:
hen a few kind-hearted persons etart d the move
ment for tiie Frevenucn of Lruo.ty to Animals, little o.
no interest was manifested in the work by the general
public. The promoters of the idea were looked upon as
persons wita more time on their hands than they knew
what to do with or persons inclined to devoting time and
energy to the interest of a hobby, ratner than in the per-
lormance of something practical and out of which some
thing of real value could come. These so-called "cranks' 1
however, persisted in their efforts and from a few number
has grown until there are today hunmane workers in every
part tf the world. In the lists of those now interested in
teaching kindness and mercy to every living creature we
find many of the world's most distinguished names. There
are a number of the best edited publications devoted to
the protection of the animals.
" We may not notice it, but is no less true that there
is today by no means as much cruelty to animals as ; n
years past. Humane education has compelled the enact
ment of laws for the protection of dumb creatures and the
deep interest of so many cultured and self-sacrificing peo
ple in the work hag been the cause of enforcing these
laws. The results show in reduced suffering among our
dumb animals, which is followed by increased efficiency
and tremendous savings.
"A review of the humane .magazine brings to mind an
other and most important feature of humane education,
in teaching children to be kind to .animals they are taught
to be kind and gentle to other children. The Humani
tarian (London), in a recent splendid editorial on this
phase of the subject, among other things says:
"The child that is suffered, unchecked, to torture
an animals will soon pass from an unconscious to a
conscious cruelty; from careless infliction of pain to
enjoying the sight of suffering; from the torture of
animals to the hurting of smaller brothers and sisters.
"Kindness must bo taught. Like the beautifil flowers
in the garden, it must bo sown and carep' for. Weeds
only are self-sown. Teach the children kindness to an
imals and they will learn to shun cruelty in every form.
The humane education societies of the world are perform
ing a great service."

In view of iho fact the government places little value
upon a new paper or fitlicr classes of publications scud,

6e taken by those contemplating putting on a newspaper

PURSUITS OF EX-PRESIDENTS
(From The Alanta Journal)
In announcing that t.e will follow tho active practice of
law. Woodrow Wilson is treading tho path of most of our
ux-presidents who, with few exceptions, led active caroors-
after their retirement from tiie White House. A glance
at tho record shows an interesting variety of pursuits ex.
residents have taken up, from, the .days of Washington
until the present.
Washington and other Virginia gentlemen v. ho came
after him as . hief executives were prominent in tiie affairs
of the nation after they resigned its helm. He himself
was called upon to take command of tho army when war
with France was threatened in 171)7. Jefferson was in-
trum-jr.tal in founding the University of Virginia, and
from Montieello guided jionroe and Madison in lhair con
duct of the state. His interest in Virginia he bequeathed to
both tho latter; each served as its regent after they left
the presidency.
John Quincy Adams died i.i harness while a mi oilier
,the House of Representatives, to which he was elect d
for severs 1 successive terms after his return to Massachu
setts. He was not tie only cx-presldont to seek other
political office. Van Huron three times sought tiie pro i-
dcncy after his administration. Tyler, after fifteen years
of retirement, presided at the peace conference between
the North and South in IStil and then t,Urew in his lot
with tiie Southern cause, being elected to both tiie Con
ic 'crate Provisional Congress and the Confederate lions'
of Rcpve ontntives. FMlmore ran for president twice and
was defeated; Andrew Johnson was a candidate for Con
gress tn several occasions and was finally named Senator
from Tennessee, but died before taking office.
Three presidents—Lincoln, Garfield and 1 McKinley—
were victims of assassin'. Two—William llenry Har
rison and Zachary Taylor—died natural deaths while in I
office. Andrew Jackson remained in unbroken retire-]
meat from the*White House until his death. So did James
K. Polk. Pierce and Grant traveled extensively. Ruth >r- I
lord If. Hayes devoted tho dozen remaining years of his
life to educational and! philanthropic interests at his home
in From nt, Ohio,
Of tho presidents of latter generation:;, practically all
have been absorbed in leading interests as private citizens.
Cleveland' was a trrstoe and lecturer at Princeton; an of
ficial, tea, of a big insurance .company. Benjamin Har
rison semd as law lectu-or at Stanford Univer ity ami
as representative of tiie United States at The Hague con
i' rt'nco. All America knows the varied and energetic
pursuits that occupied' Colonel Roocevelt, and tho pros
iniuence of Mr. Taft as a law j;rofoc.;or at Yale, as a
writer, a., a lecturer and as an earnest advocate of in
ternational arbitration.
Mr. Will on, broken though his health, may be expected
to bo a leading figure in American life for years, and
if the call should! come, to servo ills country with the
same readiness and unselfishness which has characteriz
ed so many of his predecessors after the burdens and res
ponsibilities of the Presidency no longer weighed heavily
upon them.
Tiie farmers of Baldwin county and) this sectiou have
made uuuslul progress In tiie matter of making prepara
tions for planting their crops, it is to be hoped that they
gven much t ought to the crops they are to plant.
