Young men. buy you a homo. Employ your idle moments irn proving and beautifying it. It may bo humble, but it will prove the dearest and sweetest piano on oart h to you. The Tribunu urges the young men who rogistcrod themselves June nlh as prospective soldiers, that they stand true to their conn try and shirk no responsibility. Thus you will honor yourselves, your loved ones and your God. Jloke Smith is quoted assaying “He couldn't vole for Judge W. E. Thomas foi lin' United Stales jugeship because he ran for eon gross while he was yel judge of the Southern judical circuit.” Now. isn't he a beaut? lie should remember the time when Hoke Smith rail for the United States senate when he was yet governor of (Jeorgia and how, after his elect ion to fill the Kcrrefl vacancy in the Senate, lie continued to hold the tin' office of Governor of Geor gin for throe or four months and, as governor, signed his own crod <•111iaIs as l niled Stales senator. Yes, actually loft the Ferrell seat ill the United Stales senate vacant for these three or four months while he manipulated the office of governor of (leorgia. saying that Sen. La Follette would advise him when his presence and vole was actually needed in the Senate. Consistency! Oh, consistency, thou art a jewel of rarest ray serene, lint you don’t abibe in lloke Smith's anatomy, lie is the same old traitor to (leorgia now he was I hen. The constitution of the I'nired Stales provides that “the I‘resi dent shall nominate and, by ami with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoint" judges of the Fokeral courts. There is nothin”, in the law that requires President Wilson to consult, advice with, or get the consent of Mitchai lloke or Tom ilillie as to w hom he shall nominate for any office. The Sen ate has the right, for any good and substantial reason, *to reject the nominee and prevent his ap pointment President Wilson has sent to the senate the names of two of Georgia's purest and ablest jurists to be confirmed as judge to till the vacancy of the late lamen ted Symbyin. These gentlemen have been turned down by the Senate committee, not because they were dishonorable or ineoin indent, but on the ground of sen atorial courtesy—the President did not consult lloke and Tom in making the nominations, when he is under neither moral, legal or other obiigaeions to do so. The Senate is under moral obligation to the President and the nominee to assent to the appointment, unless charges are brought against the nominee of immorality or in competency that would unfit him for holding the office. The frame rsoflhe constitution never eon templated that personal spleen or petty polities—should inter into the rejection of any nominee of the President. Growing Pole Beans Not only as an excellent food in Itself but also as a possible substi tute for wheat in the making of bread, the production of beans in Georgia should be enormously increased. A quantity of green and dried beans cafc be produced in the cornfield for table use during late summer, fall and win ter. SOUTH GEORGIA Nows of Our Neighbors Told in Short Paragraphs. The farm of W. 11. Gaddis is the only one in Tattnall county on whicn cotton boll weevils have been found. Wheeh -has joined the list of counties having county-wide taxa tion for the support of her public schools. Hurrah for Wheeler county! Having been elected president of t lie Citizens Hank of Wayeross Harry I). Keed has withdrawn from the race for representative from Ware county in the legisla ture. The election takes place to-day. The Hoincrville postoffice was added to the fourt h class at the beginning os the fiscal year, July Ist. This indicates a largely in creased business at that office. Toe announcement of the change came as a very agreeable surprise to postmaster, Flenn ('. Dame. Charter is being asked for the ■‘Baxley Slate Hank” of Baxley, Da., to be incorporated with a incorporated with a capital slock of $25,000. The petitions are I. I. Moody, of Bunnell, t Fla., \V. A. McWilliams, of St. Augustine, Fla., and J. <’. Dean, of Baxley. A Justice Court at Berlin, Geor gia, has been suspended for ninety days, because the removal from one court room to another was made without confirming to the law in such eases. During the ninety days the law will he com plied with and the court resume its fund ions. II is reported of the crops of Berrien county that the prospects were never better, except for the ravages of the boll weevil in some sections. Berrien, in spite of the bill weevil, will make an average crop of corn and cotton, and a crop of peanuts way above the average. There will he plenty and some to spare of provisions in Berrien county next year, A “lard can" w hiskey distillery, two barrels of boor and a lot of whiskey was cat tired by United States officers on the premises of M. G. Langsdale, in Clinch county near Milltown, last week. In Langdale's ice box was found three gallons of high proof whiskey, made from meal and cane syrup, and was almost as strong as aleo hoi and burned freely. Langs dale has been placed under a S3OO bond for his appearance for trial before the I nited States court at Valdosta. Judge John U. McDonald, of the City Court id Wayeross, sentenced Nora DeLeon, a white xvomon. to twelvemonths in the state farm. Officer Carman was detailed to carry her to the farm, and lie started with her in an automobile. When Abbeville was reached the woman screamed and told some men she was being kidnapped. They gave chase and wired to Hawkinsville, but Carman got away and safely landed his prison er at her destination. Returning Carman stopped at Abbeville and gave the joke away. Since Supt. Brittain has com menced enforcing the law, which declares no state school funds shall be paid to sectarian schools, it brought about a separation between Sparks Collegiate lusti tute and the Sparks public schools. It is now necessary for Sparks to build a public school. house, and in an election for per mission to issue bonds of the town for that purpose, bonds were do feesed. What brought this result about the Tribune is not advised, but if the friends of the collegiate institute brought this result about expecting to force a continuance of the old regime, they have made a woeful mistake. That school will never get any more public school fund so long as it remains a sectarian institution.

Marketing Georgia Products Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture. Upon (tic business men of the stale re.sis the responsibility of establish ing consuming markets for Georgia products, not only at home, but abroad also. For Instance, one community last year shipped several hundred car loads of sweet ixttatoes to northern markets. The individual farmer can not do work of this kind; the respon sibility for organization rests with the business men. There are several Geor gia crops w hich are not appreciated in northern and eastern markets, simply because there are no large consuming markets for these products. An organ ized campaign in exploiting the possi bilities of these crops would undoubt edly react as favorably us has such work in connection with cottou seed and peanut oil. Educational forces, such as the State College of Agriculture and its County Demostration Agents, could promote diversification with greater rapidity in Georgia and aid in the early so lution of tlie present food problem if the business men would “clear the decks for action" with the statement, ' Go tell the farmers to grow the va rious kinds of food needed and we will find acceptable markets for all they prtJduce.’* At present the educational character of the work they are called upon to perform separates the college workers in a measure from the mar keting end of the proposition which is strictly a business question. Unfor tunately business men have not. been as aggressive or interested in this line of work as they should have been. For this reason the attemp’s of our agricultural college to pro mote diversification have often been nullified to a considerable extont. If the handicap is removed our agricul tural college workers will be able to perform a service work of the utmost importance in the present crisis with assurance of immediate results.
