RACE ron SOLICITOR GENERAL.
How the Campaign in the ocmuIgee
Circuit Is sized Up.


Eatonton, Ca. Aug 25.-The race for
solicitor general of the Ocmulgee circuit
is rapidly warming up SO far five candi-
dates are in the field as follows: Col.
James Potter of Baldwin county. Col J.
y. Fitzpatrick and Col Green f. johnson
of Jasper. Col James b. Park. Jr. Of
Greene, and Col. s. 7. Wngfeld OF Put
nam Besides the counties from which
There are candidates, Morgan, Jones and
Laurens go 20 make up the circuit.
Only one candidate viii be in the race
al the state convention from Jasper. as
that county viii decide by a primary or
mass meeting for either Fitzpatrick or
Johnson before the regular state primary
is held. johnson Is thought to be the
stronger candidate for the lighting coun-
ties, as ne was born and reared IN Put
nam, and has many friends and relltives
here He viii probably make the race.
and his friends here seem TO think that he
stands a good chance against WInghe.d.
the Putnam man.
Here is the way the politicians are prog
nosticaung Potter viii 70 into thc con
vcnlion With BaidWiu's two votes and has
a fighting chance in Laureus. Jaspcr' s
candidate Will go n with her two votes,
very probably Jones two. a good chance
for Norgan's two. and a possibility OF
Laurens TWO; Greene. with her four is
for Park: Putnam two are put in the
Wingheld column, and ne is given a chance
IN Morgan. BY this estimate il will be
seen that Jasper's candidate has a good
chance TO win.

FOOD FOR YOUNG WASPs.
Wonderful Manner in Which the
Mother Provides for Them.

From the Chautauquan
The wasp Is not a vegetarian like the
bee. and our cement maker has before
her the problem of supporting her young
with meat rather than with bread. AS
her eggs are laid out in hot weather, and
as enough food must be stored in the
cell with the egg to mature the young
insect. the question is how to preserve
the meat fresh for so long a time. She
meets the difficulty thus: After a tube
is finished except enc end, which Is left
open. she flies off on a hunt for spiders
She finds a fat healthy one, pounces
upon it, stings il and carries off and places
ii in the mud cell She repeats this pro-
cess until she has placed as many spiders
in the tube as, according to her judg-
meut, will be needed. She then lays an
egg in the cell and walls up the open
ing.
The remarkable thing about this per-
Torrance is the magic effect of her sting.
Whether il is the result of subtle poi
son or whether 1t is a special spot in the
spiders nervous system where the sting
Is inserted we do not know. Certain it
is that after being thus stung the spider
lives on in a paralyzcd condition for weeks
and even months. IL can move only slight
ly and remains helpless In its mud sepul-
cher until the wasp egg matches into a
voracOus grub, which at once falls to
and eats with great relish the meat thus
miracUlously preserved.
Whether the wasp sting renders the
spider insensible to pain or not is a ques-
ton not Yet settled. However. the chanc-
es are in favor of the theory that il does
Anyway, we need waste no sympathy
on the spider, the most bloodthirsty OF
all the little people of the fields and
woods There is a sense Of retributive
justice In the thought of a spider helpless
and at the mercy of small insect which
it would have mercilessly devoured had
1t been able
So we need not accuse our alert. indus
trious cement maker of any unreasonable
cruelty if she, like us, insists upon a meat
diet for her young, nor need we have any
fear OF her sting. for she seldom uses II
as a weapon of offense or defense.

GREENBRIER AFT AIRS.

| After the very wet and exceedingly
cold winter we have had very dry
spring. The farmers we're very back
ware in preparing their lands and
planting their crops. There was a
great deal cf wheat and oats sown
during the fall and winter. The early
sown will make a fair crop, but the
late will be almost a complete failure.
The corn crop, though very irregular,
is looking very well. Cotton on
Sandy land is generally good stand
and has healthy appearance; that on
clay land is coming up nicely and
| with another good rain would be
ready for working in few days.
Our farmers are preparing and e1.
pecting to sow large pea crop. They
are Of necessity beginning to realize
the Importance of building up and
improving their land. This they can
do by planting peas much cheaper
aud quicker than with commercial
fertilizers. We are beginning 10
realize the fact that We will have 10
turn our attention to something be-
sides the cultivation of cotton.
Several nice barns will be erected
during the :summer, and each one,
think, will shelter a nice bunch of
cattle next winter. This is also an
excellent way Of improving our worn
out lands.
The Greerbrier school, which has
been in charge of Miss Bessie I.yles
for the two past years, closed a most
successful term few weeks ago.
The trustees, freeholders and pa
irons, realizing the importance OF i'm
proving our school, held a meeting on
May goth and by unanimous vote
levied an extra tax Of two mills, and
also voted to consolidate the three
schools and hare graded school, to
be. located near the crossroads Just
south of Capt. j. r. Delleney's. The
trustees hope to establish a school
fully eq"al to any in the county. They
will commence work on tie new
building in the near future.

MYRTLE ITEMS.

The recent showers have been very
beneficial to everything, although We
could take good season now. There
are a few Of our farmers that are
about through chopping cotton; some
are just commencing. The cotton has
been rather slow about coming up,
especially on high places. Young
corn which was planted before the
showers of last week is up to perfect
stand and looking we'll. Old corn is
also doing we'll considering the
drought it has haG to stand.
Gardens are a failure, owing, We
suppose, to the dry weather and the
appearance of numerous kinds Of
insects, some of which are playing
havoc with cabbage aud in some
places completely destroying Irish
potato vines. They seem to be worse
on Irish potatoes than other plants.
The small grain crop is being har-
vested. just now. Oats are better
than was at one time expected. The
stalk is rather short, but it has very
| heavy grained head, which makes
even better food for stock than if
twas larger.
The wheat crop also is better than
was expected, especially where the
stand was thin. This fact can very
easily be accounted for, though as the
lack of rain at the appropriate time
caused the numerous branches that
always come from the main root to be
less than would have been had there
been superhuity of water at the diff
ferent stages of its growth; thereby
giving the remaining branches the
advantage of the seanty moisture and
rainfall of April and May. The head
in such cases is heavy enough, being
extra large for tie stalk.
Tie fruit crop Vas almost COM
pletely destroyed by the cold weather
in the early spring, only leaving a
few apples, and almost all of those
have fallen off.
Quite an enjoyable occasion Was had
at the hospitsble residence of Mr.. E.
