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- fiaimemann’s Bakery Wishes to announce to onr friends, patron* and the pnblic In general that we will be ready for bnsineaa Saturday, De cember 6th, at rrur now and only store.

There are more per suasive things than viewing with alnrm. the while the country runs riot to ruin In the hands of some loathed enemy. Happy the politically ambitious who ran and do "come back’’ now and then from unpropltioue voyages who return with sunshine in their hearts and songs of Joy bursting from their lips. Blessed are the Charles Jackson HhlpfAv who can lose, and never bat 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. 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 he will be a most formidable candidate. Moreover, he hails 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 bom in Meriwether, and several more came from that same vicinity of tlie 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 bac k In time to take part In whatever of political activity, there is to mix In. alpng about springtime.
