Democratic senators do not en
dorse President Roosevelt’s hasty
recognition of Panama in the incep
tive state of its government. Seem
ingly the Rough-rider President is
ready to “ride rough-shod” over in
ternational complications when the
power appears to be at his command.
Efforts and Results.
Good results surely follow earnest
efforts wisely directed.
Wherever county fairs have been
successively and successfully held,
the results prove that the efforts
were earnest and wisely directed.
Col. J. M. Hunt, one of the most
progressive farmers of Jones county,
formerly a oitizen of Houston, re
cently said 1o a Macon Telegraph
reporter on this subject:
“I know wbereof I speak, that
since we inaugurated our county
fairs our lands have enhanced in
value not less than thirty per cent.
Our farmers have been stimulated
to greater efforts than within the 1
memory of the present generation,
and the result is that they are in a
more prosperous condition than they
have ever been.
“We have already felt the bene
fits of the state fair, for we have re
ceived innumerable letters from the
western and northwestern farmers
making inquiries as to the price of
the farming lands in Jones, in al
most every instance the writer ex
pressing a desire to looate among us.
“Jones is bound to keep up with
the proceBBion, and the county that
excels us will have to be np and do
ing mighty early in the morning.”
What is true of Jones county is
also true of every Georgia county
where successive fairs have been
held. This proves that a county
fair is a good thing, not only for the
county, but for each farmer who
oontests for a prize, or who may en
deavor to emulate the example of a
premium winner.
The efforts necessary to make a
successful county fair must begin
with the preparation of the soil and
the selection of the seed, and must
continue through cultivation and
harvest. Such efforts will force the
adoption of progressive methods in
every phase of agriculture,and bring
about improvement at every junc
ture. Following this, increased pro
ductiveness will inevitably come,
and of this increased profit will nec-
essarily be a most acceptable result.
Houston farmers know the value
of a oounty fair, and they propose
to have the best they ever saw next
year. It will pay.

Secession Endorsed.
In the recent recognition of the
defaoto government of Panama,
President Roosevelt and his cabinet
have in effeot endorsed the principle
of secession.
Panama was one of a number of
states forming the United States of
Colombia. No matter what the
cause may have been, the secession
of Panama and the formation of a
new government was in principle
and effeot identical with the action
ef the southern states in 1860.
Then the United States govern
ment declared that secession was
wrong in principle and hurtful in
praotioe. The four years of war that
followed is familiar to thousands of
veterans who are yet alive.
In recognizing the new republic
of Panama, with a constitutional
government unformed, the United
States administration now nedorses
secession as right in principle and
benefioial in praotioe.
Verily, it seems'that the decision
in each case depended upon “whose
ox was gored.”
The Panama canal franchise seems
to be the consideration.
At Kentwood, near New Orleans,
twenty-nine negroes and one white
man were killed in a railroad collis
ion last Saturday. Fifteen other
passengers were injured. The en
gine of an express train crashed in
to the rear coach of a regular pas
senger train that was out of time in
making its shedule.

It was reported from Savannah
last week that the dock laborers of
that city, who are on a strike, will
be arrested under the Calvin va

posed prosecution is that the strikers
have caused much trouble by inter
fering with the laborers who have
accepted employment in their places.
