A GOOD WORD FOR THE DEVIL
They possess an unfortunate dis
position who are so warped or jeal
ous that they can see little or no
good in their fellows We have 1n
mind an acgnantance who 1s of this
Ly Fie aimost unConsciously
minimizes and discounts the good
traits and deeds of his fellows and
in the same way magnified their
defects and misconduct, This view
of life always places human beings
below par, is as pessimistic as it is
unfair and brings no comfort or sune
shine into life. Rather should be
cultivated the habit of the good old
sister who had such a way of saying
a good word for ail that when some
one to test her began to vpraid the
devil as a pretty tough character
she replied that if Christian people
were as energetic and industrious
in working at their profession as he
was at his the world would be a good
deal better, While the old lady
may have carried her doctrine to
an extreme, she Was certainly work
ing along the right line. —Ex.

WATSON THINKS IT’S ENNY
(Tom Watson in the Jetfersonian. )
The Governor, feeling awfully
govd and gay every time he thought
of his tremendous victory in 1906,
had determined to stretch forth his
lrand and show his might.
He whirled upon our oné¢ hoss
Railroad Commission, selected his
victim and struck—not Warner Hill
who is known to have a following—
not Obediah Stevens, who has strong
backers in Tom Hudson, Dr. Raines
and othérs—but Joé' Brown—who is
knownta be. pnysically small and
believed obe without friends. '«
«Little Joe,” as tite Governor’s
friends aie fond of calling the vic
tim, ' was pounced tpon, incontis
nently and furiously, and bounced
out of his office within three weeks
of the end of his term. Hoke Smith
couldn’t wait three weeks, you see.
Just had to have Little Joe’s scalp,
to hang up as a trophy.
We did not think that Hoke show
ed good common sense in this per
formance, and we daid so at the time,
We could not understand the men
tal process by which the Govetnor
came to the conclusion that 2 com
mission of three coula be purified
b the owsing of one; nor could
we understard why the Governor
bonue.d loc Brown and left Obe
Steveus roosting serenelv on the
roof of the puplic crib. }
But the fun of the vhing came a |
long later. Little Joe quietly went
home to Marietta, and Hoke bulked
majestically before the American
world, as a triumphant popular hero
who might be vice president; who,
would be senator if he chose to take
the place; and who, as a matter of
course, could remain Goveruor by
merely nodding his star-str.king:
heasl and letting it be known that he
would kindly accept the place,
That was just a few weeks ago—
and now what do we see? f I
Really, we have to mb our ‘eye¥
and shake ourselves good and hard‘
to become convinced that we are!

didate for re election?
~Can this be the all conquering
Hoke that jumps out of bed and
Ihurrvies ‘away to laboring wmen’s
night meetings, in s home town,
to defend his administration, explain
hig failures, and to draw tosy pic
tures of what he means to do in the
future?
! Alas, it's Hoke. According to
the newspapers he made two speech
€ 3 in one day in Waycross!!!
Heavens! What bal shape that
splendid town must be in when he

THE SITUATION IN AND
i AROUND FOLESTON.
- On last Saturday morning, with a
personal desire to know just what
the political situation was in and
around Folkston, we took a pencil
aud paper and began with the first
men we met, taking the names of
none but eligibie voters, both in
Folksion and those from the cotn-
Et}y, putting the same question to all
without giving our own views, The
question put to all was *“lf the elec
ti,qé, of governor should be held to
day, for whom would you vote—
Smith or Brown? Sixty men were
zfihvassed, including those from the
country as well as here in town.
Forty-three were out-spoken for Joe
Brown, six for Gov, Smith and the
remaiuder non-committal. ‘
. Ihe friends of Mrs. W. H. Bruccl
Wwho hzs been so seriously ill at the
colony will be glad to know that she
is imoroving with gooed hopes of re
cavery,
* Insure your property against FIRE

Don’t delay; it might be too late.
