The Georgia Legislature is now
in session. It convened last Wed¬
nesday. Hon. Clark Howell is
president of the Semite and Hon.
Jno. D. Little is Speaker of the

Much of the big wheat crop to
be sown this fall will bo drilled
and fertilized. Outs drilled in last
fall stood the freezes without great
damages, and as would naturally
follow farmers are learning, as they
have in thegrain growing sectious,
that drilling and fertilizing will
largely increase the crop, and pro¬
tect it against mauy of the disaster
common to bvoad*6fcst sowing.

We Don’t Vote For
Presdents.
We are in the habit of spea'king
of presidential election as taking
place on the first Tuesday in
November after the first Monday
in every fourth year, but in fact
no vote is given for president and
vice president at tbat time at all
The names of the party nomi¬
nees for president and vice presi¬
dent are printed on the ballots,
but in fact no voter v©tes or can
vote for them. He votes for cer
tain men whose names are on the
tickets as electors : by the act of
February 3, 1887, these men as¬
semble in each state at the capital
on the second Monday of January
and vote for president and vice
president. These votes are sealed
and sent in duplicate to the pres¬
ident of the United States senate,
one copy by mail and the other
by special messenger. So that,
in fact, our president is elected on
the second Monday of January in
every fourth year, though we are
notin doubt as to who ie to be
chosen, because the electors are
morally bound by the nomination
in convention.—Marietta Journal.
The Macon Telegraph says: “It
all comes back to the proposition
laid down in these columns a few
days ago: If it was a good invest¬
ment to plant wheat while cotton
was down, in order to help brace
the price np, it is a better inves
ment to plant, wheat while cotton
is up to keep it up. This is the
main question. ■ Let us keep it be¬
fore both eyes daily.
The people of the state are not
in favor of electing our judges and
solicitors by popular vote In ad¬
dition to other things they do not
believe that the judiciary of the
state should be clogged down into
the political mire, where whiskey,
money and other political rot rule.
The Enterprise would be glad to
see the old way of electing these
men returned to, that by tin leg¬
islature.—Covington Enterprise,
The Atlanta News says that the

The year of war in South Africa
has cost Great Briton $600,000,900
