Feseit, of Cobb county, is a' candidate for Com missioner of Agriculture of -Geor gia. Last year the farmers of Geor gia made a practical demonstra tion of the fact that work and econ omy sensibly applied to agricul tural affairs will command success. These two elements of success will win every time they are sensibly used together, no matter to what kind of legitimate business they are applied. It is true tbe Georgia farmers last year were blessed with propi- have given bountiful harvests without the earnest and sensible application of energy and econo my.

However, when we vote for Judge Crisp, it will be because of his fitness for the position, and not because he is a citizen of South west Georgia. “Almost since the memory of man the claims of Souhtwest Geor gia—or rather, all South Georgia,- have been ignored when it came to the election or appointment of State officers. South Of a line drawn from Columbus through Macon to Savannah there has not been a State officer. elected or ap pointed witbinThe past forty years. Yet this section is the wealthiest and most prosperous in the State. During the war it fed the army, and since the war has contributed the largest -portion of the taxes to sustain the State government. This discrimination against this section has not be'en made because of a lack of men fitted for the po sitions, but rather to the grasping spirit and political chicanery of the other sections of the State. For several years the people of South Georgia have chafed under this discrimination, and they are now determined that this section shall be fullyrecognized. They have become tired of paying taxes with out representation.Thelate appoint ment of railroad commissioner has intensified this determination. The railroad commission had its origin in Southwest Georgia, and yet this section has never had a represen tative upon it. Southwest Georgia will present to the Democratic State conven tion, as a candidate for Gevemor, the name of a man who stands at the front of Georgia’s statesmen; whose experience upon the bench and in the halls of legislation well fits him. for the proud position of chief executive of the Empire State of the South; whose recent manly defense of Democuatic principles and .eloquent protest against parti san tyranny should endear him to every true Democrat; who has the convictions-of right and the cour age and talent to maintain those convictions under the most trying ordeals; a Georgian of Georgians, whose heart beats in unison with the people; a man of magnificent presence and magnetism, whose presence and power would be felt throughout the . nation—Hon. Charles F. Crisp. In view of his recent utterances in Congress the times and circum stances point to nim as pre-emi nently fit for the position, and we believe that we not only express the sentiment .of Southwest Geor gia, but of the whole state, when we say that his merits and talents merit the recognition of the people by placing him in the executive chair. Southwest Georgia will be heard from in the next Democratic State convention, and united will de mand that her claims he recog nized in the nomination for Gov ernor.” The Georgia Fruit and Vegeta- mate bl8 > 00Ql ble Excbange was organized at I rpm? jjlair educationat bill has , [ occupied a large share of the at- Fisbetwas elected president^ and j ten tion of the United States Sen- S.

Jennifgs, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, of Macon, Ga., started last Tuesday on a four months tour- of the Holy Land. A terrible calamity visited Secretary of the Navy Tracy last. Monday morning, when his resi dence in Washington. City was de stroyed by fire. His oldest daugh ter and her daughter jumped from the second story to the street, and both were, seriously injured. Mrs. Tracy, who attempted to. es cape through a window, fell forty feet to the ground, and died from the injuries received. Miss Mary Tracy, another daughter, was found dead from suffocation in the hall, and was taken out by firemen. Secretary Tracy himself narrowly escaped death. He was found in sensible in his bed, and rescued We bave several times before al luded to the condition of the pub lic roads of our stale, and to tbe necessity for our legislature to change the laws in regard to keep ing them up. The following from the Atlanta Constitution wilfebe of interest to those of our readers who have given this subject any thought: The Philadelphia Times goes pretty far when it says that Penn sylvania is away in the rear of progress in public highways Pennsylvania may be in a badsway, but if she is behind some of the other states in this matter, her cause is pitiable, indeed. For, in a majorityof tbe com monwealths of this glorious union, the improvement of the public highways appears to be a lost art. It seems to be so in many coun-- ties in Georgia, but, on tbe other hand, public opinion in. this state is fairly well developed in Behalf of better public highways, as was shown recently by the interest ta ken in the road convention held in Atlanta. The purpose of that convention will take practical shape whenever there can be found one or two en- ergetis men in each county to take the matter seriously in hand. The agitation in Pennsylvania is not of recent date. It has been going on in one shape or another for several years, and some decided improve ments have been made—just as there have been improvements in Fulton, Floyd and other counties where progress and enterprise have their centers. In Pennsylvania, recently, the state board of agriculture held a special meeting to discuss the-sub- ject of. improved highways. Tbe general idea developed by the meeting was to the effect that the state should build the more impor tant roads, and pay for them. This was Gov. Beaver’s idea, but it seems to be clear that such a policy at this time would be op posed to the best interests of the people themselves. Those who are interested in road improverhent in Georgia are not pushing forward such, ideas as this. They merely ask the legis lature to revise the road laws, so as to bring these obselete statutes in sympathy with modern ideas of progress and enterprise. What the counties can do in detail, is much too big a job to put in the hands of the state. With a wise change of the present laws, it would be within the province of each county to proceed with the work of permanently improving its highways. Fulton and Floyd have shown what enterprise can do under the present laws. Pennsylvania has also an exam pie of what may be done by the expenditure of a little energy. A township in Montgomery county in that state, elected alive man as supervisor of roads, and be at once went to work to improve them in a practical way. The people ob jected to tbe cost at first, but they have the returns all in, so to speak —the best roads, the largest in crease in the value of property, and the greatest economy and comfort in the use of their teams. We want to see the counties of Georgia go to work on their, roads. The improvement of them, is an investment that will pay an hun dred fold. JOSHUA LAWRENCE. The farming interests seem to be moving off very nicely through this section of the county. Every farmer, so far as .we have' heard, has secured enough hands to run his plows, though, doubtless day labor will be scarce in this imme diate section. County School Commissioner Ellen was through this commu nity last week, looking after -the public school interests. The school is much divided at this place, and there is - some talk of another school starting here to-day (Mon day), and- should this be t re,there will be something said about it iu the next issue of the Home Journal. Mrs. J. Q. Ellis and, her sister Mrs. Bolton, went io Pulaski Sat urday, to visit their brother, who is quite sick. Mrs. Dr. Saunders, of Unadilla, came up Sunday to -visit her sis ter, Mrs. A. E. Wimberly. Dr. Eoberts, .wife and mother, of Groyania, spent Sunday here with relatives. Mrs. Hardy Gross and Miss Ida Lon Simmons spent last Sunday here. The Methodist Sunday School was organized here last Sunday; with Mr. A. E. Graves as superin tendent. We sincefely trust that Mr. Graves will consolidate the schools, and make it interesting in the future. A prayer-meeting has also been organized here, and for the first two meetings has had a good at tendance. Quite a crowd of our farmers^ composted of Messrs. T. H. Eentz'' J. Q. Ellis, A. E.

The immediate cause of her death was congestion of the brain, induced by a contim iied attack of “La Grippe.” The following printed circular letter was received at this office last Tuesday.
