Robinsons Two
By Dorothy Douglas
Robinson took up tbo nest stack of
letters Ms office boy hid 'opened tor
blm. They were jnostly business com
munications.
But suddenly and unexpectedly
there came from Its tight fitting en
velope a postal card. Roblneon caught
Ms breath In swift admiration. The
face on the card was feminine, win.
. nlng and beautiful.
After a long and appreciative study
' "t ain‘ready for anything from a
pink tea to a Butch supper, - he told
her.
It was too late In the day to do any
thing In the business line, so Robin
son jumped Into a taxi and went to
the Southern Express.
Some greater foroe than Ms own
desire seemed to be directing bis
movements. He felt Intuitively that
he would see the girl of the postal
card.
He went Into the big lounge where
so many American travelers most, and
took a chair by one of the desks.
There, with pen In hand, he tried to
compose a letter to Wllhelmlna
Wicks. Try as be might, he could not
write a satisfactory message to the
girl whom he did not know.
Then, because he was sitting dose

Robinson smiled amusedly at the
little bit of Sherlocktng he was In-
dulglng in.
That he wanted to know the. girl
was a certain fact He had known |
that the moment Ms eyes beheld her
likeness. The picture might be fiat- (
taring and still she could be divinely ,
beautiful. Robinson had known many (
girls in his life, but somehow the
only one had not appeared. He had a
feeling that when he stood face to
face with Wllhelmlna Wicks she
would Immediately take posasaslon ot

It was with alaorlty that he ar
ranged Ms business affalra In prepra-
tin for Ms trip. After that he wrote
his married sister In London that he
would be with her almost aa soon aa

While on- the ocean Robinson
thought out a plan ot action wMch
he considered tactful an<B brilliant
He would write Miss Wlcka at the |
Southern Express and Inform her that
he was In posasaslon of her picture; ]
that he would return It It Ms letter
reached her and If she so desired. In
this way he woutd at least get Into
correspondence with her. After that
perhaps Fate would be kind and bring
about a proper meeting. At any rate
Robinson decided to spend all hla
time not absorbed by buslnesa, In the
Southern Express offices. Perhaps the
girl of his dreama would have re
turned from Devonshire and In that
event he would aae her. She would
call for her mall surely.
And because he felt himself grow
ing foolish over a girl whom he never
had seen Robinson plunged Into a
mild flirtation with the prettiest girl

Hon. Emmett Cabinet* of Oflothorpt
County for Assistant Com*
mlssfonsr.
Hon. A. O. Blalock has represented
his county and senatorial district in
the OeorgUk legislature almost con
tinuously for the past twenty years,
and hts made a record for himself
sb t representative of the people and
their best interests, second to no
public man in Georgia. He has al
ways taken an Interest in the wel:
fare of the farmers of Georgia, and
is especially fitted for the position to
which he aspires. He has an army of
friends all over the state who are
actively. interested in his election,
and, if elected, the department over
which he will preside will have a
most capable and efficient head.
The farmers of the state are vi
tally concerned in one ot the meas
ures before the present legislature,
championed by Senator Blalock, the
bill being known as the “pure fertili
zer bill.” This measure provides that
cinders, sand and other substance of
no commercial value shall not consti
tute any part of the commercial far*
tllizers offered for sale in this state.
The passage and enforcement of this
bill would save the farmers of Geor
gia not less than five million dollars
annually In freight, sacking, hauling
and distributing. This amount seems
large, but, when it la realized that
$26,000,000 are paid for fertilizers an
nually. then figuring one-fifth—or
from 4Q0 to 600 pounds of worthless
filler having'ao plant food, in each
ton—it la evident Ifcot this estimate
is approximately correct.
The fertilizer trust is now, as al
ways, actively flgiitfrig any measure
to raise the standard of fertilizers,
whereby worthless substances can be
eliminated. The small mixers,- who
are not using worthless fillers,
generally for this measure. If Sena
tor Blalock la elected commissioner of
agriculture, he will see that this
measure is thoroughly enforced,
well as giving to the office a practical,
business administration. This office
was created especially for the pro
tection and benefit of the farmers.
During Senator Blalook's service In
the general assembly, he has favor
ed the pensioning of all Confederate
soldiers, being tbe author of the bill
pensioning the widows of Confederate
soldiers, and he standB for the liberal
and prompt payment of teachers of
the public schools.
Hon. Emmett C^biness is a “hog
and hominy" farmer, who believes in
and practices raising at home every
thing for the support of man and ani
mal—corn, oats, wheat and hay.
president of the State Fsxmerr Un
ion, he actively aided the formation
of Boys' Cora Clubs all over the
state, and is one of the successful
farmers of Georgia.
He Is a member of the agricultural
committee of the house, and was ths
author of the bill which was so stren
uously opposed at the last session
by the fertilizer trust, providing that
ths different Ingredients of all fertili
zers offered for sale in this state
should be printed or branded on each
sack or tag. Representative Cabi-
ness and Senator Blalock are using
their best efforts to pass measures
Insuring the people pure fertilizers
in this state. As the consumer pays
a tax of more than $100,000 annually
for the Inspection of fertilisers,
Messrs. Blalock and Cabiness believe
film th« farmers ere entitled to the
most rigid inspection of fertilizers
sold in Georgia, thus guaranteeing
that the farmer will get what he
buys.
