THE SAME OLD GANG.

EDITOR ADYERTIsER:-In the congress
SIGNAL campaign which now seems to be
in full bloom want space in your col
umns to relieve my mind of few
questions. just must ask them.
In the first place, why is it that few a
town politicians are so anxious to have
Mr.. Russell return? Is it a continuation
of the old 1892 campaign of the town
politicians against the country people?
1t seems so, and am told that these
would be town controllers hold night
meetings, a kind of dark-lantern business,
Capt. W. NJ. Hammond spoke SO elo-
quently against in 1892, and strange, too
he is the central figure of these meetings,
which are held, am told, in his office,
and when greater secrecy is needed at
his house, or that of ex-Sheriff Hurst.
These people, next to Mr.. Russell,
seem to be the most interested in this

we are told, simply wants reelection be-
cause the tricksters defrauded the
people in 1892 to secure his election,
Now, to my mind, vote for him means
vote condoning the greatest fraud that
was ever perpetrated on the people of
the second district.
You all remember the Thomas county
delegation was given to Mr. Stevens in
1892 by two monster mass meetings,
when few town ringsters rose up and
defeated the will of the people by de-
Srauding them of their choice.
Mr.. Russell is to day the candidate of
a few town tricksters who are seeking to
put man on the people who is distaste-
full. because he was elected my means so
manifestly dishonest that all honest peo-
pie feel that it is truly day OF small
men and tricxsters, who are against the
people.
These questions and observations are
thrown out for the people to think about,
and hope that they will be given calm
consideration. L. H. 4NkEh'

KICKS AGAINST DAWSON,
Albany DOESN'T LIKE OUR CHEAP
RATES TO THE sEAsRORE,
And Appeals to the General Passenger
a gent to Raise Them--They Call
1t "Snap."

Aud Appeals to the General Passenger
Agent to Raise Them--They Call
1t "Snap."
Dawson has been, and is now, enjoying
cheap rates to the seashore, which has
caused our neighbors down at Albany to
make a big kick about what they term a
tssnap'' enjoyed by our people.
In the language of the Herald, our AL
bany neighbors have at last "caught
onto ST. and, failing to get the rates re-
rduced from there, are making an effort
m have them increased from Dawson. 1t
is nothing strange that Albany should
have caught onto our cheap rates, as
they were freely advertised. The won
der is: they were so long about it.
In speaking of the matter the Albany
Herald says:
Many of the citizens of Albany will
remember that, not more than week
AGO. there was a great big kick raised by
tourists as to the discriminative rate
made by the B. & W. authorities as be-
tween Albany and st. Simons and Daw-
son and st. Simons.
The kick was due to the fact that it
was discovered that the Dawson agent
was selling tickets to st. Simons or Cum
berland, via the B. & w. railroad, for
$4.15, while the Albany rate was just
$7.35.
But Albanians caught onto the "snap"
and, instead of buying their tickets here,
would send to friends in Dawson and
have tickets forwarded, thus saving
1920
OF course the condition Of affairs
reached the ears of Agent E. n Clark, of
the B. & W. at this point, and he at once
went to work to investigate matters.
Agent Clark telegraphed General Pas
senger Agent W. NJ. Davidson, of the
Plant system, at Jacksonville, Fla, who
replied that the Dawson rate was not
made at the instance of the Plant system,
and that the same would be corrected at
once-Dawson being given no advantage
over Albany.
1t is probable that Dawsonites will pay
S7.35 hereafter when they go to the sea-
shore, just because the secret of their
1'soft snap accidentally got out.

COURTlNG BY WIRE.
The Man Gushed Over the Ticker, but Was
Disseminated on Sight.

The Man Gushed Over the Ticker, but Was
Disenchanted ON Sight.
A telegraph operator in Boston Office
once met with bitter disappointment
early in his career by falling in love with
q young woman at the other end of one
of the old Western Union wires. She
used to say sweet little nothings when a
lull in the business gave her an oppor-
tunity to use the wire. The young man
worked in the Boston Office and had the
reputation of being ''hy" sender and
able to receive what he could send, an all
important factor in the ''sizing up" of an
operator. The woman was proud to have
him say even "Gm" or "Ge" good morn
ing or good EVENING" to her, and the other
girls on the wire, with whom he never
condescended to exchange even these or
binary salutations, were jealous. AS time
| wore on their conversations over the wire
became longer and more frequent. FL
nally an invitation to come to Boston and
visit one of the theaters was given and
accepted. The Lothario of the wire was
to wear red, red rose in his buttonhole,
a white straw hat, with blue band; she
was to carry small satchel of peculiar
shape in one hand and fluffy lace hand
kerchief in the other.
The train arrived at the eastern sta
ton on time, and the satchel of peculiar
design was sighted. 1t was indeed pc
culiar design. 1t was an old fashioned
carpetbag of grayish green color and
considerably older than the Morse alpha
bet. The girl was sight that would
have made Neil Burgess in the County
Fair" go and hide. She was fully 40
years old. Long corkscrew curls OF
past era hung down over her shoulders
| like twists of molasses candy, and smile
doomed up under the caves of her sun
bonnet that would have done credit to a
assure in the side of Vesuvius.
She was extremely glad to see him,
and he, with the instinct of true gen
tleman, tried to appear that he was just
as glad to see her. He took her carpet
bag, and they boarded car for the
house where he was staying. There
were sly nudges and covert laughs at
the tea table, all the girls and young
men thinking the young operator was
entertaining his aunt from the country.
For the evening performance at the the
alter the giddy maiden fshed out an aw-
| full bonnet from the depths of her car
petbag and slicked up her curls in the
most approved fashion. The bonnet was
q flower garden in itself, and the writer
has the young mans own word for 1t
that she and the bonnet attracted more
attention than the play.
The next day he sent her home, but
ever after he was careful not to allow
himself to converse with any one on the
wire except on business.-Donahoe's
Magazine.

GROWING BRIGHTER.
The Georgia Crop Prospect Continues to
Improve.

The Georgia Crop Prospect Continues to
Improve.
Each week brings some advancement
in the crop prospect. The improvement
commenced four weeks ago, and has
steadily grown brighter.
Last weeks report from weatherms n
Park Morrill, shows considerable advance.
These weekly reports are thorough, and
give fair idea of the condition of the
crop.
The report is as follows:
The past has been a favorable week
for the advancement of.crops Although
rain has been general throughout the
state on only one day, yet showers have
fallen at some time in nearly every coun-
ty. The rainfall has been variable, so
that there are points still requiring
more moisture, and yet others which are
almost drowned out. The temperature
has ranged below the normal, which at
this time reaches the highest point of the
year. Taken as a whole, and, while it is
idle to hope for full average yields, the
shortage may not be so very great with
favorable conditions in the future.
The farmers of southwest Georgia are
now iubilant over the improved prospect
for good harvest of all their crops.
During the past week rain has beenplen-
tiful and all classes of vegetation have
grown rapidly. Cotton is looking very
nice, with some bolls already full grown.
Potato slips are still being planted in
lagre quantities. Reports relative to
fruit are meager, but from the few re-
ceived there are indications that the fruit
crop is total failure except few apples
and peaches on some farms. Corn is
generally in excellent condition, and the
yield will probably be almost up to the
average of last year, both in quality and
quantity. Gardens are much improved.
Sugar cane, since the recent rains, has
taken ON a more healthy color and is
growing rapidly, while rice astonishing
in all the fields.

The Worlds Columbian exposition
still lives in the Field Columbian
museum, thanks to the munifcent
generosity of the millionaire Chicago
merchant, whose name 1t bears, and
the unselfish cooperation of his fell
low-citizens A million or two locked
up in bank or invested in cotton and
woolens is not much in these days,
but given at the right time for a wise
beneticence it is fund which will
draw usury for the public good for all
time to come.
1t was Marshall Fields idea that
The Worlds Fair should not be utterly
lost to Chicago and to the world; that
is vast educational exhibits, utterly
useless in dispersion, would be of in
estimable value gathered together
under one roof, with others to be
added from time to time, and made
freely accessible to the students Of
the various edu cational institutions
and the general public 1t was not
his purpose to establish museum
simply as place Of amusement, but
rather a gallery of object-lessons
where the worlds progress, physical
and intellectual, might be studied.
and further progress made easier. In
carrying out this idea the musuem,
which has been opened to the public
in Jackson Park, becomes an epitome
of the great exposition which was
held on that spot year ago and ex-
cited the wonder and admiration Of
the world.
