I Revenue, and What It Oughtn’t to Come From.
One of our greatest pleasures comes In tho perusal from day to day of
two hundred and moro papers of the state which may be Included under
the head, ‘‘The Country Press." Some aro well printed, some bear evi
dence of being Issued under difficulty and In tho face of adversity. Some
are precise, some are loose In grammar and freo In comment.
But, Individually and collectively, they are an estate of which Geor
gia has a good reason to bo proud. Most of them are fearlbss yet hind,
and print the thing as they see It.
They aro edited and printed near to the soil, which means near to na
ture, and near to human nature, and Issuing forth under such auspices
they have the visible presontmonts of flesh and blood and heart and soul—
qualities In which many of tbe great papers of the country, sad and
strange to say, are lacking. Georgia's country papers—the weekly press—
are a glory to tbe state and a strength to tho commonwealth.
But to the point In question.
Hero Is a belated clipping from The Eastman Journal:
Tho rot pud balderdash about public schools and other state
Institutions that Is generated In tho Georgia legislature every
time any question affecting prohibition Is mentioned 1b too dis
gusting and contemptible for endurance by the people of a decent
and civilized state. We have a mighty poor opinion of a man,
anyway, who wants his children educated on "nl-bcor” license.
This question of revenue should bo forever and teetotally sep
arated from tbe prohibition question. No deoent community wants
Many revenue If It has got to put up with a slop-pen and hell-hole
to get It
Can you Imagine a more wholesome editorial than thaton any theme
In the realm of politics, religion, statecraft, sociology, or what uot?
Can you find a flaw In so bold, so honest or straightforward statement?
Isn't there something refreshing, something clean and Inspiring In
such an Idoa presented in such terso Anglo-Saxon?

SUPPOSE YOU TRY 8MILXNO.
Your burden 1* heavy, I haven't a doubt,
But others have load# they must carry about.
And they are not whining.
Sam* people are glad If but half of the way
Lies out of the shadow, or part of the day
They see the sun shining.
Suppose you try smiling.
I know you are lonely, but other hearts whs,
And brarely refuse to be bitter or bresk
Because of life's sorrow.
They think of the Joy In the land far away,
And hasten the slow passing hours of today
With hopes of tomorrow.
8uppose you try smiling.
This funny old world is a mirror, you know.
Turn its way with a sneer, or face of a foe,
And you will see trouble,
But mset it with laughter and looks full of
cheer.
And back will come aunahlne and love true
and dear,
Your blessings to double.
8uppose you try smiling.
All places are open to those who are glad,
Too many lack courage, too many are aad,
Those near you need cheering.
So sing with your burden, the way Is not long,
And if you look upward your heart will grow
ttronff.
And skies will be clearing.
Suppose you try smiling.

Good Times.
A rising tide of prosperity thru Georgia that will aubmergo the last
veatlge of hard times la now setting In strong, and tangible evidence la
offered to even the moat superficial observer.
From sea coast to the frlngo of counties girting the Tennessee lino
the rolling tldo of better times Is sweeping on, bringing cheer and hopo and
happiness that means much to tho people of the state. Innumerable Blgns
of this fact portend. It had biggest and surest voice In the twenty million
Increase In property values shown on the tax digests. That note of Geor
gia's steady advance was a thrilling sound of cheer to every man and
formed Irrefutable argument of tho stable soundness of the stato's pros
perity.
Added to this Is the prospect of an abundant harvest. Week by week
optimism has breathed from every wcokly paper In tho state—the surest
reflex of each community’s condition. It has been a wonderful grain year
In Georgia. From one end of the state to tho other it has been a record-
breaking year for wheat, oats and small grains.' By common consent of
the best expeits, tho corn crop will be the best of many years.
Whljo tbe cotton crop may not be es large as In years paBt, the out
look Is for mod prices, which will. It Is believed, more than offset the
shortage. With the farmers prosperous, there can bo no question of tho
material. welfare of business and commercial Interests.
Bountiful harvests, manufactories running full time, with employment
ready for nny man willing to labor, the future rings clear and hopeful for
all the State.

I N far away Dakota, where my youth was spent In vain,
A newly married coiyile rode upon n monoplane;
The wife was young nnd pretty, with n dimple In her chin,
The husband wns a poor old man, with features lank and thin.
They sailed above a city, two miles up In tho air:
Tho Indy gazed a moment on her husband sitting there,
And ns she,tossed him from the deck that bright October day.
These words, mixed up with commas, sno ferociously did say:
CHORUS.
“A married man Is ballast, that Is all.
And bnllnst was Invented for to fnll,
So I tipped you Into space,
May you light upon your fnco;
A married man Is bnllnst, that Is nil!"

She never got another chance another man t» wed,
And now she thinks about the dny he lit upon Ills head. .
She sits. In her npnrtmont with her locks nil thin nnd gray,
And thinks allout the cruel words which she to him did say:

Second Growth Cotton,
Mr. James M. Giles brought to this
office last week a stalk of cotton
sprouted from a stalk of last year’s
crop. The new sprout made Its ap
pearance about three inches above tho
ground nnd. was one of the most vig
orous plnnts to be found of the pres
ent crop and contained 32 healthy, fully
matured bolls. Mr. Giles says he has
one field of many such stalks, ,and be
lieves he would have had a good stand
If he had left, and cultivated all of the
old stalks. One matter of especial no
tice Is the fact that of the large num
ber of stalks now growing In this field
Mr. Giles* states thnt not one Is In the
least affected by disease or Insects of
any kind, while many others of this
year’s planting In the same field are
badly affected.—Butler Herald.

HEN His Excellency Wu Ting-
fang was asked what country
he would live In, If he had his
choice, his unhesitating answer was.
"Ireland/*
The reply brought forth another
question, ns his secretive and clever
excellency knew It would, namely,
"Why?"
"Because Ireland Is the only coun
try' In the world In which the Irish
have no Influence."
Also It might be stated, altho It has
nothing to do with the case, that the
Jews are very* much more influential
In New York city than they are In
Jerusalem. The Turk Is to Palestine
what the English are to Ireland.
The human product has to be trans
planted In order to get the best re

A new environment means, often,
spiritual power before unguessed. The
struggle of the man to fit himself Into
a new condition and thus harmonize
with his surroundings brings out his
latent energies and discovers for him
untapped reservoirs.
It was Edmund Burke jrho said,
"The Irish are all right, bur you must
catch them young."
When England wants a superbly
strong man she has to send over to
Ireland for him. Note Burke, her
greatest orator; Swift, her greatest
satirist: Goldsmith, her sweetest poet;
Arthur Wellesley, her greatest fighter—
not to mention Lord Bobs, all awfully
Irish.
And to America comes Alexander
Turney Stewart, aged twenty, and very
Irish, shy, pink, blue of eye, with
downey whiskers, intending to teach
school until he could prepare himself
for the "meenlstry.”
It was the y-ear 1820; and at that
time the stars of the Irish schoolmas
ter were In the ascendant. For a
space of 40 years,' say from 1805 to
1845, 80 per cent of all graduates of
Trinity college, Dublin, came straight
to America and found situations await
ing them.
Young Stewart had been at Trinity
college two years, when by the death of
his grandfather he found himself with
out funds. His father had died when
he was three years old. nnd his grand
parents had then taken him In charge.
HIs mother. It seems, had married
again, and was busy raising a goodly
brood of Callahans, several of whom In
after years came to New York and were
given jobs at the A. T. Stewart button
counter.
Young Stewart could have borrowed
money to have kept him In college, for
he knew that when he was 21 he would
come Into an Inheritance from his fa
ther's estate. However, on an impulse
he Just sold his books, pawned his
watch and bought passage for Americo,
the land of promise.
The boy had the look of a student,
nnd he had dignity, as shy folks often
have. Also, he had a Trinity college
brogue, a thing quite as desli^ble ns a
Trinity college degree. Later A. T.
Stewart lost his brogue, but Trinity
college sent him all the degrees she
had. Including nn LL. D., which hrrlved
on his seventieth birthday.
The Irish built our railroads, but
Paddy no longer works on the section—
he owns the'railroad. Note the Harrl-
mans, tho Hanrahans, the McCreas, the
McDouglcs, the O’Donnells, tho O’Days,
tho Hills—all Just one generotlon re
moved from the bog, and the smell of
peat smoke still upon them.
The Irish school masters glldfd easily
from taking charge of the school Into
taking charge of our municipal affairs,
for a consideration, and their younger
brothers, their cousins, "their uncles and
their aunts found jobs yawning for
them as soon as they had pushed past
the gates of Castle Garden.
One year of school teaching In New
York city, and A. T. Stewart reached
his majority. He had saved Just $200
of his salary, and he sailed away, back
to auld Ireland, a successful man. Now
he would go back to Trinity and com
plete his college course nnd be glorified.
All of which speaks well for young
MIsther Stewart, and It also speaks
well for his grandparents, who had
brought him up In a good, sensible
way, to work, economize and keep
civil tongue in his Irish head. HIs
grandfather didn’t exactly belong to
the gentry—It wns better than that—he
was an Irish cierque who had become
a scrivener, and then risen to a pro
fessorship. *
A. T. Stewart was heir to a goodly
amount of decent pride, which always
kept him in the society of educated
pfop$4 .md mads Min walk with tha
crown of his head high and his chin
in. He thought weJI^of himself—and
the world is very apt to take a man at
his own estimate.
A 3»*ar In "the States” had trans
formed »he young man from a green
horn Into a gentleman. The climate
of the West had agreed with lilm. He
himJelf told bow <>n going back t<>
Belfast the city seemed to have grown
smaller and very quiet. He compared
everything to Broadway, and smiled
at a jaunting car COmprMd to a 'bus.
When he went to Trinity college and
saw his class, from whom he had
parted only a year before, all thought
of remaining' two years to graduate
faded from his mind. •
An ocean seemed to divide him from
both teachers andj pupils. The pro
fessors were stupid and slow; the pu
pils were boys—he was a man. They,
too, felt the difference, and called him
Sir." And when one of them intro
duced him to a freshman as "an Amer
ican," freshy bowed low, and (he breast
of A, T. Stewart expanded with pride.
Not even the offei; of a professorship
could have now kept him In Ireland
He saw himself the principal of an
American college, "filling" the pulpit of
the college chapel on Sunday, pictur
ing the fate of the unregenerate In
fiery accents. The Yankee atmosphere
had qaade him a bit heady.
The legacy left him was exactly
r. 1,000—$5,000. What to do with this
money he did not know! Anyway, ho
would take It to America and wisely
Invest It.
In New York he had boarded with an
Irish family of which the head of the
house was a draper. This man had si
small store on West-st., and Alexander
helped tend .store on Saturdays and
occasionally evenings when ships came
In and sailors with money to waste
lumbered and lubbered past.
The things you do at twenty are
making indelible* mnrks on your char
acter. Stewart had no special taste
for trade, but experience spells power
—potential or actual. *
With $5,000 in his belt all in gold,
he felt uncomfortable.
And so on a venture he expended half
of ItJn good Irish lace. Insertions and
scollop trimmings. Irish linens, Irish
poplins and Irish lace were being ship
ped to New York—it could not he a
loss. He would follow suit. If he was
robbed of his money he could not at
the same time be robbed of the drapery.
And so he sailed away for New
York—and Irelund looked morp green
and more beautiful as the great up
lifting green hills faded-from sight and
were lost to view In tljc mist.
A. T. Stewart became a merchant by
accident And he was the greatest
merchant of his time. The year before
his death he was worth $40,000,000.

The French chalnbcr of deputies re
cently passed n rule that all members
should sign attendance sheets placed
on tables nt the two entrances to the
chamber and that every deputy who
failed to sign for six consecutive sit
tings should be. considered as absent
without leave nnd so be liable to lose ft
proportion of his pay. These names
are printed in the Official Gazette
every day and thereby a new difficulty
has arisen, for the Official Gazette is
compelled each day to announce "hero
a name Illegible" four or five times In
each day’s list. This suggests a means
of escape f(Jr deputies accused of be
ing absent, for every one can claim to
have been Monsieur "Illegible.”
The new regulations were Intended
to put an end to voting by proxy. Mem
bers used to give thelt* bulletins to a
member of their party to put Into the
voting urn foi them and never come
nenr the house. In this way M. Legitl-
mus, the colored member for Polnto a
Pitre, Gaudeloupe, has voted steadily
since his election In 1906, altho he has
suited the house only once, being fully
occupied In legal difficulties at home.
Another member has been In a lunatic
asylum for three years, but his vote has
never bean wasted.—New York Sun.

Tl>e most successful farming In Okla

good lands In some parts of Oklahoma,
but there are as good or better lands In
all parts of Georgia. Any farmer who
can makd a* living In Oklahoma could
