Colonel Charles Jackson Shipp, who |
ran for Railroad (’ommlssloner In the
last State primaries, and didn’t get
elected. e\ Idently has not become a
pessimist because of that.
On the contrary. Colonel Shipp,
forsaking the vexing and fretting
thoughts of politics and politicians,
of late has turned his attention and
bis talents to the sweeter and may
hap simpler things of life, and where
once he thundered political opinions
and conclusions from the stump, now
be sings vociferously of the festive
persimmon and the rare delights of
autumn merging serenely into win
ter!
In the current issue of The Cor-
dele Rambler. Mr. Shipp's splendid
and always interesting little news
paper, that gentleman poetically ob
serves :
“This is persimmon season in
Georgia. If the traveler along a
November road hears a soft
thud, iso gentle indeed as to be
scarcely audible, he has only to
look on either side, locate the
gaunt, bare limbs to which still
cling like huge drops of amber
the yet unripe persimmons. Then
gayly scaling the fence let him
pick up the luscious mouthful
that has fallen; for that Is the
test of the ripe persimmon—it
never falls until it is primed for
consumption.
“Many detractors of the per
simmon don’t know this. If they
did, instead of slandering and
maligning a noble fruit, and
heaping ridicule and contumely
upon It. they might Join the ac
claim of those who know better.
To put. It otherwise never climb
a tree for a persimmon. The
persimmon is never ready to pet
Ish for the joy or numanitv until
It drops.
"That sly connoisseur. Mistah
Possum, knows all about the
persimmon, and when the occa
sion is dark and “darkyless,”
you can sometimes see him slyly
meandering around beneath the
tree, picking up the juiciest sam
ples and scurrying back to safe
ty and feasting. But you will
see not a possum up a persimmon
tree, unless he takes to it to get
away from the dogs."
After all, It is not the sum total of
political life to live, nor all of the
same to die. There are more per
suasive things than viewing with
alarm, the while the country runs
riot to ruin in the hands of some
loathed enemy.
Happy the politically ambitious
who can and do "come back” now
and then from unpropitious voyages
who return with sunshine in their
hearts and songs of Joy bursting
from their lips.

Dr Elmo Ballew, one of the politi
cal “war horses” of grand old Gor
don County, Is attending the boys’
corn show In Atlanta.
The doctor specializes in corn cul
ture. among other things, and is
something of a noted agricultural
sharp in his vicinity of endeavor. As
surpassingly fair, however, as his
broad and untarnished escutcheon is
In the matter of farm lore, he still
scorns not to take advice from
younger men.
His own corn crop this year, he
avers, is “middling fine,'' and made
in the most profuse and generous
sweat of ids brow, and still be thinks
he might have made it better had he
but known in the beginning all he,
knew when on yesterday he had fin
ished an inspection of the great show’
In the Capitol!
“These com shows are great,” said
Dr. Ballew. discussing the exhibition,
"and I think we should encourage
them all we can. The boys of Gor
don County are splendidly repre- j
sented here, ami they deserve great
credit for the fine work they have .
done. The corn clubs have done much .
to better agricultural conditions in
Georgia.”
In order to anticipate as much as
possible the rush for new automobile
numbers, which must be secured for
the year 15*14, Secretary Phil Cook;
of the State Department will have
the new numbers ready for distribu
tion on December 15. They cost $5
each, and every owner of a car must |
have a new number, regardless of'
past issues.
The new law goes into effect on j
January 1, and ears without new I
numbers on March I will be out
lawed. As nothing is to be gained
uy waiting until March to procure |
new numbers, however, the State
Department will prepare to issue 1
them at once.
After January 1 every motor carl
in Georgia must have a new' num
ber annually, costing $5.
It looks a little as if the pressure j
brought to bear upon President Wil
son in the matter of Judson C. Clem-
j ents’ proposed retirement from the
Interstate Commerce Commission
may bear fruit. The friends of Judge
Clements have taken hope of late,
and now believe that there is at least
tn even chance that things may fall
his way, and reappointment be ten
dered.
There seems to be a feeling
1 throughout all Washington, not only
j in Congress, but in the various de
partments. that failure to reappoint
ork irrep- |
ommission i
' the body ;
whose experience is long and w ho
knows the ins and outs of the Corn- j
mission’s work thoroughly . To drop j
him now would be to leave the Com- ,
mission without one member there- J
on who is ultimately qualified for the
position. Moreover, there has been !
much resentment manifested here,
and there that Clements seemingly
was considered for the discards most
ly In order that a nice comfortable
berth might be supplied to former
Governor Glenn, of North Carolina.
The reappointment of Judson C.
elements to the Interstate Commerce
Commission apparently will be highly ;
gratifying to Georgia, and in the same j
ratio would his turning down likely
be heartily protested and resented.
Byron Williams, of Meriwether,
spoken of frequently and favorably
of late as a member of the next Sen- ;
ate, is in Atlanta. Few men are bet
ter known throughout Georgia, and
if he runs for the office stated, there
is no doubt whatever that be will be
a most formidable candidate.
Moreover, lie halls from one of
Georgia’s star counties, politically
speaking—the county that has fur
nished Georgia with a number of
Governors and other Statehouse of
ficers. The present Governor was
born in Meriwether, and several more
came from that same vicinity of the
vineyard.
Roy Stubbs, known of politicians
real and near for many moons in
Georgia, left Atlanta to-day for a
tour of northern South American on
important business for the Central of
Georgia Railway.
He will be absent from Georgia for
two months or more, but will get back
in time to take part in whatever of
political activity there is to mix in,
along about springtime.

Even Most Chronic Sufferers
Find Quick Relief.
A few doses of Croxone never fail
to relieve such troubles, because it
cleans out tjie clogged up. inactive or
gans. and makes them work properly
It soaks right into the kidneys, cleans
out the little filtering cells and glands,
neutralizes the urine so it no longer
irritates the tender membranes of the
bladder, dissolves the poisonous uric
acid substances that lodge in the joints
and muscles, and scratch and irritate,
and cause rheumatism, and cleans out
and strengthens the lifeless kidneys so
they can filter, and sift the poison from
the blood and drive it out of the system
So sure—so positive—so quick anil
lasting are the results obtained from
(’roxone. that three doses a day for *
few days, are often all that is required
to end the worst backache, regulate the
most annoying bladder disorders, arid
put the kidneys in healthy, active con
dition. i
It is practically impossible to take thi}
quick-acting, effective preparation with
out results.
An original package costs but a trifle,
ami all druggists are authorized to re
turn the purchase price if Croxone falls
to promptly give desired results, regard
less of how old you are or how long
you have suffered.—Advt.
