Coburn, the agriculturalist who refused a seat oin the United States Senate when appointed to it by the Governor of Kansas, says: ““‘An alfalfa field is said to be a hog's fdea of heaven.” e o —————— There are more than 600,000 rall way employes in England, and al thousgh they work faithfully, declares the Louisville Courier-Journal, they do not succezd in bagging. nearly so mueh human game as the track-jump ing, head-on colliding American rail roa’ trains account for, Scientific investigation tends to dis prove the prevalent belief that lep rosy is contagious. But doctors have not finally decided it is not infec tious, comments the Pittsburg Dis patch., Under these circumstances is olation from the crowd is deemed ad visable, The question is where the unfortunates should be kept. The New York Times has a letter from the president and secretary otj the Newport (R, 1) ministers’ union, : “As a matter of fact,” they say, | “many of us have habitually refused | to marry divorced persons about! whom we know nothing, or, perhaps, 1 too much.

It is us much a manifestation of mental derangement as paranoia, and it . should be dealt with by lunacy ' commissions, asserts the New York World., The sanity ot the man who I scatters money about in the streets‘ or throws plates across a dining room | is inquired into; why not that of the | speedmaniac? He has too long en joyed an immunity denied to others | who ghow symptoms of aberration. * . The civilization of France is very } ripe, Luxury and high living m'e: more alluring, more necessary, per- | haps, in that couatry than in nnyi other, because this condition has be- | come habitual. The desire to get all | the enjoyment possible out of life 15‘ the dominant idea of the populace, rich and poor, and there is not wealth 1‘ enough in the nation to enjoy French civilization to the limit and at the same time sustain the expense of rear ing Jarge families. DRase and inde pendence are the sine qua non of su per-civilized nations, and France has reached that condition, proclaims the Argonaut, Fortunately for other civilized natious, France is the first to pay the ®penalty of her crime against the natural law. She may serve as a salutary example for the other nations. Even the old countries like France are not exempt from the abandoned farm problem, laments the American Cultivator. A writer who has been traveling through the pine forests and rough farming country of the -Auv;ex'gne region was impressed by <he jarge number of farm houses that were not occupied. The region ap pears to be much like the hilly see tlens of Northern New England, and no doubt the land has heen aban doned to forest growth for similar reascns in both instances. The soil is rather thin and too rough for suc cessful’ working by machinery, Ac cordingly, many of the farmers emi grated or obtained work in the cities. Of late, however, the French farmers of thig gection note a returning tend ency on the part of their former neighbors, many of whom were dis watisfied with their city experience, and find the farms more attractive than formerly because of the higher @rice of farm productsin recent years. ‘Made Welcome by Thousands of Loyal Georgians. 10,000 MARCHED IN PARABE General Clement Evans Received Ova tion Along the Line of March---Gov ernor Smith Reviews Parade.

Marching two by two, of tentimes holding hands for guidance and support, they walked with a firm tread, with uplifted faces, lighted countenances and a buoyancy that lifl-i ed them ahove those who watched from the side lines, | There was a halo and glamor thrown about these heroes of the old south that brought tears to the eyes' of many and checked back the cheers of those who wished to give answer to the ringing rebel yell of the men who fought for the cause they knew was right., | SRR (R Ry % e T bt "B‘Q‘ i ‘é’ R s T R T b PRI .

With bared heads, riding prancing | steeds with the ease and grace which made them famous during the dark | days of '6l-'66, came General Clement A. Evans, the idol of the Confeder ates and the commander of the Unit- | ed Confederate Veterans; General W, | A, Wright, who rode a charger, though | he lost a leg in the war, with as much | ease as any cavalry officer; Capmin‘a R. K. Park, and others, | Their approach was signalized far down the line by a rumble of cheers, like thunder, which grew into a roar as General Evans arrived with head bared, gray hair wind-tossed and a smile as sweet as that of a woman for all, His great gray cloak thrown back exposing himself to the wintry winds that swept the streets as fear lessly as, when younger, he faced the bullets for the south he loved so well. And when he passed 'twas like the ceasing of some exquisite song. Cheer after cheer greeted him on all sides, and he was made the central figure of the parade., All military stood at “Present” when he rode by, The governor sa- BULLOCH TO TAKE CONVICTS, County Will Have Road Force of Qver Fifty Convicts, Statesboro, Ga.~—At the meeting of the county commissioners here, it was recommended that Bulloch county take all the convicts she can get under the new apportionment that will be made upon the expiration of the present lease on March 30th, next, Under the old apportionment this county was entitled to nineteen con viets, Already about thirty-three mis demeanor convicts are at work on the public roads and together with about twenty-five that the county will re. ceive as her share of the felony con victs a road force of more than fifty conviets will be available, 70,000 AURES PURCHASED, Big Real Estate Deal Made by an Americus Banker, Americus, Ga~Fhe most extensive realty tramnsaction ever consummated here has closed, wherein Charles M.

GEORGIA, ' ok e | Pest Will Soon Arrive iin This State { If Not Checked. ¢ | Atlanta, Ga.--"The.boll weevil "is traveling from the west toward Geor gia at the rale of from seveuty-five to one hundred miles a yeur,” \said State Entomologist fipfi:&;s Am at the state capitol, “and F believe if it s not checked it will reach, the cot ton field of Georgia within four or !flve years.”" 5 | This staiement was prompted by the fact that a monster meeting of ‘the agricultural association, entomol ogists, ete,, who are interested in the boll weevil plague, wiill be held in Natchez, Miss., November 24th to the 27th, for the purpose of devising some means, if possible, for combatting this menace (o the cotton crop. * Entomologist Worsham has been in vited to attend this meeting and has accepted, United States Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson will be present, as will the various commis cioners of agriculture throughout the south, A number of weevils thought to be the boll weevil have been gent to En tomologist Worsham this fall, but upon investigation it has proved that none of them are the dreaded boll weevil, and Georgia is free from this pest up to this date. This department is watching carefully all shipmienis of cotton seed and cotton seed hulls from the infested districts, and to see ‘that the guarantine law is pot*evad ed. Because of the boll weeyil in the ‘west, these tainted seed and hulls are scld more cheaply than the Geor gia product, which is attracting some of the merchants, : | Entomologist Worsham urges that | cotton seed and cotton seed hulls be | purchased in Georgia from Georgians to avoid running any risk, : In view of the fact that coiton seed 'halls and meal have come to be ac | copted as the best cattle feed in the | south, being cheaper and more bene | ficial than any other cattle feed, a ‘grvm deal of interest is attached to the sale of the cotton seed and its { py-products, The cotton seed of Geor | gia are up to the required standard.
