It is not what is said on the stump. In
the party newspapers. or even in the po-
litical platforms. which constitute the
real issues OF the campaign. No political
party can attempt to define for its oppon-
ents and for the country what Is the para

people should taks home to themselves.
the real question upon which they should
make up their minds. Is what Legislative
policies will be put In effect as the result

those policies will be can he judged far
more closely by the record OF each party

party leaders on the stump. where they
are simply sndeavoring to secure votes:
or even by the language Of the particular

for tho same purpose.

Senator Turner declared in his speech
at Ballard, Friday. that the people Of
the state were satisfied with the admin
istration OF Gov. Rogers. II he really
believes this. It must be hard for him to
account for the bitter opposition to the
governor at the last fusion convention.
when Rogers would have failed of re-
nomination had 1t not been for the ''in-
fiuence" which Turner has been able to
exert since fortune smiled upon him.

TALKS ON THE ECLIPSE.

Followed Mr.. shuptrine's Talk on
"Retouching'' at the Camera Club.
Mr.. Otis Ashmore and DR.. w. f. Aiken,
who were members of the Naval Observ-
atory Corps at GAINESVILLE for the recent
eclipse. gave inteFsting talks at the
Camera Club last night on the photography
of the eclipse
DR.. Aiken has not yet developed the
plates which he exposed to the shadow
bands and the result of his efforts are yet
unknown. Mr.. D. vanWagenan, who was
also member of the Photographic corps,
exhibited a number of negatives which he
made, showing the corona
The eclipse talks supplemented an inter
esting talk on "Retouching," by Mr.. H.
C. Shuptrlne. In portrait photography the
retouching Is an important and practically
necessary part of the preliminary work
to the finished picture. 1t is a delicate
work withal and one that requires not
only care and Skill but much experience
to be successful Mr.. Shuptrine explained
the opera ton in detail illustrating by
means OF prints from touched and "un-
touched negatives, the various steps.
After Mr. Shuptrine's talk the members
of the Camera Club, who were at Barnes
Vile, Mr. Ashmore, DIR. Aiken and Mr.
Van Wagenen, explained their work in
the observation of the eclipse. Great in
terest is conferred in Dr. Ai1en's photo
graphic observations. In case he was
successful he will have been the first to
successfully photograph the shadow bands
the real cause of which has never yet been
fathomed. DR.. Aikenis negatives will be
developed at night in order to secure a
proper temperature and uniform con-
ditions. The development will require
from six 10 seven hours and will be done
between II O'Clock at night and morning.
DR.. Aikens theories as to the cause of
the shadow bands or waves OF light or
darkness are likely to cause much discus
sion among astronomers and may offer a
solution of the hitherto unfathomed mys-

School children have begun 10 count the

June 80 is usually accepted as the date
for the High School commencement. If
not practicable to hold it OH that day, the
most convenient one thereabohts is select

Florida Growers Generally Ship BE-
tween June L, and June 10.

The first watermelons will soon be ship
ped frsm Florioa 1t is usually from
June ! to June Is that the growers in
that state make their first shipments,
The melons are shipped to the North and
East in greatest quantities. though the
prices that are realized early in the sea-
son in the Southern markets induce many
of the growers to ship TO Savannah and
other places.
The Georgia crop will not begin 10 move
before July l. II is expected there will
be fully as many melons shipped this
season as last. though the acreage has
been materially reduced. Raising melons
has long been a chief industry with the
farmers of this state, but the returns
have not always been satisfactory
This difficulty was encountered by the
farmers last year. They found that the
markets were not paying prices that
would reimburse them for what had been
expended in making the crop. Many car
loads failed to bring enough to pay the
freight.
There was great yield of melons last
year, but by no means the entire crop
was shipped. When the farmers saw
that they were getting such poor prices
and that the markets were glutted with
the fruit, they decided they would ship
no more. The melons We're then left 10
rot in the fields or were fed to hogs and
cattle. If this is not done this season
there will probably be quite as many car
loads handled by the railroads this year
as last, despite the reduction in the acre
age in melons.
Reports received by the Plant System
officials in Savannah Indicate that the
melons are getting on nicely in the sec
lions through which the line extends
Probably no railway in the country han
dies more watermelons than the Plant
System, and the progress of the crop each
year is carefully noted.
