Some OF the Ways It's Former S1pe-
riortty Can Be Regained.
The wool-clipping season is at hand. and
producers of Georgia woods are being in
structed IN relation to packing and clean
ing.
y. Guckenheimer & Sons have issued a
circular to their patrons, and il is believed
that all other wool buyers are doing the
same thing.
Dealers here say that for several seasons
the demand for Georgia woods has been
steadily on the decline. This, in a large
measure, it is said, is due to the careless
method OF packing and preparation for
market, and to the increasing quantity of
black wool. For these reasons several
manufacturers have already stopped using
making change. 1t is said the complaint
Is general, and that it seriously menaces
the business of the coming season.
It 10 claimed black woods cannot be used
by all the mills and only by those manu-
featuring 1t, while the white woods can be
used by all and can be dyed any color. This
cannot be done with black. A united effort
is being made by buyers of Georgia wool
tending 70 the eradication of the black
product and TO dispose of sheep with coarse,
frowsy and kenny wool This, it is
claimed, would be of decided advantage not
alone to the farmers. but to all who handle
these woos. 1t is said that if the
woods are free from cots, rnurrain and
trashy wool as we'll as cotton lint and seed
and the bales are packed Ia strong and
clean oagglng, such care taken in prepara-
ton will well repay the producers.
tits also necessary that the black wool be
separated from the white and packed in
| separate bales. Dealers claim that unless
this is done the wool is unstable and .even
when 1t Is ssalable. the black brings
cents pound less than the white.
Growers are also advised to kill of all the
black as well as the old run out sheep. If
producers carry out these suggestions it is
claimed Georgia wool will regain its former
superiority and OF course its value will be
enhanced, otherwise it will be le desirable
and consequently much lower in price.

THE BURNING OF TIE CARS
Trainmaster Anderson, when asked in
Macon about the burning Of the cars In
Savannah, said: Ever since l have been
connected with the system we have been
obliged at times to condemn old cars which
have been in use by the Cestral for the last
fifteen or twenty years. They are the
blue cars, of which at one time we had
duced to seventy-tive or one ham

these cars were built renders them abso-

Long before the Central was leased by the

EX SPEAKER REED is sustained b,

mo quorum case in which the legali
ty of the Dingley worsted act was at.
tackled by firm of importers, was on
Monday decided by the United State,

passed through the action of Speaker
Reed in counting a quorum wher
there was a quorum of members pres
ent, but not voting. The importers
maintained that Speaker Reeds action
was in violation of the constitution
and that the act passed in this mann
was void. The United States circuit
court for the southern district of New
York, decided against the United
States aud in favor of the importer:

A Word In Time.

Chairman Watres, Of the Republi
can State Committee, has potified al
Republican County Chairman through
out the State that they must pay par
ticular attention to that part Of th,
new ballot law relating to the nomina
tion Of candidates for ofFics. Tha
clause is in section of the bill, anS
says;
Certificates Of nomination for eau
didates for the offices Of Presidential
electors and members Of the House o
Representative of the United State,
and for all State offices, including
those of Judges, Senators and Repre-
sentatives, shall be filed with the Sec
retary of the Commonwealth at least
fifty.six days before the day o.
election"
This is most important matter
and will result in the nominations
being made much earlier than usual,
Fifty six days before the day OF
election, November 8tb, would place
the last day for filing certificates Of
the character aforementioned on or
before Tuesday, September 18th, and
as a consequence all nominations must
be made by the latter date.
The district conventions that get
into deadlock hereafter will have
TO unravel their snarl or there will be
trouble. 1t is now the duty of county
chsirmen and others to sec that the
foolishness attendant on dead locks is
not prolonged, and that q nomination
is made at once.
