Colonel Charles Jackson Hhlpp, who
ran for Railroad (’ommlssloner 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 politics and politicians,
; of late has turned his attention and
| his talents to the sweeter and may*
I hap simpler things of Jlfe, and where
j 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 Utile news
paper, that gentleman poetically ob
serves:
“This is persimmon season in
Georgia. If the traveler along a
November road hears n soft
thud, so 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
gavly 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
consumpt Ion.
“Many detractors of the per
wlmmurUdon’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 per
ish for the joy of humanity until
It drops.
“That sl> 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-

After all, it is not the sum total of

IT Elmo Ballew, one of the politi
cal "war horses” of grand old Gor
don County, Is attending the boys’
corn nhow 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. Ah
lurptnintly 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.
Ills own corn crop this year, he
avers, is “middling fine,” and made
In the most profuse and generouw
sweat of his brow, and still be thinks
he might have made it better had he
but known in the begfhnirig all he j
knew when on yesterday lie had fin- j
lshed an inspection of the great show
in the Oapitol!
“These com shows are great.” said j
Dr. Ballew, discussing the exhibition,
“and 1 think we should encourage j
them all we can. The boys of Gor- |
don County are splendidly repre-
senled here, snd they deserve great;
credit for the flue work they have
done The com clubs have done much
to better agricultural conditions in
Georgia.”
In order to anticipate an 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 lf>. They cost $5
each, and every owner of a car must
have a new' number, regardless ol
past issues.
The new law goes Into effect on
January 1, and cars without new
numbers on March 1 will be out- 1
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 $5.
It looks a little as if the pressure
brought to hear upon President Wil
son In the matter of Judson C. 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 reappdlntment be ten
dered.
There seems to be a feeling
throughout all Washington, not only
In Congress, but in the various de
partments. that failure to reappoint
the Georgian now would work trrep
arable Injury to the Commission
He is ths one members of »h« body
whose experience U Inna and who
Knows the Ins and outs of the Com-,
mission’s work thoroughly. To drop
him now would be to leave the » om
mission without one member there
on who Is ultimately qualified for the
position. Moreover, there hin 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 Inter late Commerce
«’omvnfKsion apparent, will be high!;.
: ratifying to Georgia, tnd in an
ratio would his turning down likely
be heartily protested tnd resented.

AUGUSTA, Dec. 5.—With nitro

and heavily armed with revolvers
.and plenty of ammunition. J. H. Dove
and Thomas Daly, who broke into the
postotiice and other places at* Green-
cut, Ga.. last night, were arrested
on the incoming Central train by a
squad of Augusta detectives
The men boarded Captain ^off
Thomas’ train at Waynesboro yester
day, and iie at once suspected
them of being fugitives. When his
train reached Greenscut. on it« way
to Augusta, he was told by one of
the railroad employees that there had
bet n 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
miles out by a squad of officers, head
ed bv Chief Detective Whittle. Cap
tain Thomas had locked the rear en l

waited until the Union Station was
reached and then placed the two un

loot was recovered.
One of the inen 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

who blegv open the Bank of Dudley,
