Haygood thinks such merchants
as pay such prices will probably
wind up in hell. If they don't
hell is failure.
A LARGER measure of independ-
eace of outside industries is one
of the conditions to the future
prosperity of Georgia. This truth
has forced itself to- conviction in
the minds of the people; and our
confidence in the bright future Of
the State is based principally on
that fact.
THE depression among our farm
ers might be greatly relieved by a
"no fence" law. Thousands of
acres of land which they are una
Bile to cultivate or rent, because of
their inability to fence it, might
be put into production were it not
for the enormous burden cf fenc-
ing.
FROM what we have been able
to gather from our exchanges the
recent cold weather did great
deal of damage all over Georgia.
1t is an unfortunate condition of
affairs, but the people have no time
to waste in despondency. The
wise man will plant and SOW again
and take the chances.
JUDGE Tom SIMMONS is extend
ing his acquaintance in South
west Georgia. Last week he held
court for Judge Fort at Americas.
The Republican thinks the Judge
would make a GLORIOUS Cover
nor" We guess the people know
more about that than the Repub-
lican.
AT Americus, Thursday, T. B.
Hayes, the Webster county biga-
mist, was before Judge Fort and
plead guilty. He was confronted
by the gentleman who performed
the ceremony when he married
his first wife and the license. He
was remanded to Stewart county
jail to await his trial.
THE dynamiters have been at
work in Cartersvllle, the house of
Commissioner MS. Collins having
been blown up by these fends
Friday night. The officers Of the
law cannot be too eager in bring
ing such wretches to justice, and
the law canLot be too severe in its
penalty. We sincerely wish the
people of Cartersville God speed
in their efforts to capture the
criminals.
WESTERN farmers have learned
to keep their hogs in yards until
the dew is off the grass. The
theory is that the germs of hog
cholera are collected in the dew,
and are very likely to be taken by
the hog while grazing early in the
morning. 1t is quite possible
that the care which this treat
ment implies is in itself safeguard
against cholera. Most Western
hogs receive unlimited corn and
but little care of any kind.
Some farmers met in Conyers
several days ago and began to tell
of the fine fat hogs they had kill
Ell when Squire Brisendine re-
marked that they could all beat
him on the hog question, but that
he had wife which he was dis
posed to brag ON. He said that
over and above what his family
had used she saved and sold $500
worth of butter, $11.05 worth of
eggs and $500 worth of chickens,
which all came in very nicely now
that cotton was so low.
