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.

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 firron 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 know'll throughout Georgia, and 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 nished Georgia with a number of Governors and dther State-house of ficers The present Governor was born In Meriwether, and several more came from that same vicinity of the vlneyard 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. TRIPS ROBBERS ON HIS TIN; JAILS THEM Conductor Locks Safeblowing Suspects in Car and Takes Them to Augusta Police. 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.

"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.
