Colonel Charlf-r Jackson Shipp, who
ran for Railroad Commissioner In the
last State primaries, and didn't get
elected, evidently ha# not become a
pessimist because of that.
On the contrary, Colonel Shipp,
forsaking the vexing and fretting
thoughts of politic* and politicians,
of late has turned his attention and
his talents to the sweeter and may
hap simpler things of life, and where
once he thundered political opinions
and conclusions from the stump, now
he 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, so gentle Indeed as to be
scarcely audible, be 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
slmmon don’t know tills. 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 per
ish for the joy or humanity until
It drops
"That slv connoisseur. Mistah
Possum, knows all about the
persimmon, and when the occa
sion is dark and "darkyless,"
you can sometimes see him slyly

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,
Blessed are the Charles Jackson
Shipps, who can lose, and never bat
An eye!
Dr EJlmo Ballew, one of the politi
cal "war horses” of grand old (Jor
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 11in brow, and still he 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 corn 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
sented here, and 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 1914, Secretary Phil Cook
of the State Department will have
the new numbers ready for distribu
tion on December 16. 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
January 1, and cars without new
numbers on Mp.reh t will be out
lawed. As nothing is to be gained
by waiting until March to procure
new numbers, however, the State
Department will prepare to issue
them at once.
After January 1 every motor car
In Georgia must have a new num
ber annually, costing $6.
It looks a little as if the pressure
brought to bear upon President Wil
son In the matter of Judson (1 Clem
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
an even chance that things may fall
his way, and reappointment be ten
dered.
There seems to be s feeling
throughout all Washington, not only
in Congress, but In the various de
partments, that failure to reappoint
the Georgian now would work lrrep |
arable Injury to the Commission!
lie Is the one members of 4he body I
whose experience Is long and who
knows the Ins and out* of the Com
mission's work thoroughly. To drop
him now would be to leave the Com
mission without one member there
on tv ho is ultimately qualified for the
position. Moreover, there has been
much resentment manifested her*-,
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.
Clements to the Interstate Commerce ,
Commission apparently will be highk ,
gratifying to Georgia, and In the same ,
ratio would his turning down likely
be heartily protested and resented

if he runs for the office stated, there
1* no doubt whatever that he will be
a most formidable candidate.
Moreover, he hails from on** of
Georgia's star counties, politically
speaking—the county that has fur

AUGUSTA, Dec. 5.—With nitro
glycerin and fuses on their persons
and heavily armed with revolvers
and plenty of ammunition, J. H. Dove
and Thomas Daly, wiio broke into the
postoflice and other places at Green-
cut, Ga., last night, were arrested
on the Incoming Central train by a
squad of Augusta detective*.
The men boarded Captain .Jeff
Thomas’ train at Waynesboro yester.
day, and he at once suspected
them of being fugitives. When his
train reached Greenscut. on Its way
to Augusta, he was told by one of
the railroad employees that there had
been wholesale robberies there last
night and several hundred dollars
taken,
"Mum's the word " said Captain
Thomas. "1 have them on my* train.”
He sent a telegram to the Augusta
police, and the train was met three
ties out by a squad of officers, head- |
ed by Chief Detective Whittle. Cap- j
to In Thomas had locked the rear end ;
of the car the men were In. The ofli
cers, all In civilian clothing, entered
quietly and took their seast. They j
waited until the Union Station was
reached and then placed the two un
der arrest. A part of the Greenscut
loot was recovered.
One of the men was in a drunken
stupor and his revolver taken away
from him without his knowing it. It
is believed that the men are the ones
who attempted to blow open the safe
of the People’s Oil Company here, and
who blew open the Bank of Dudley,
