Col. Smith for Governor.

Oglethorpe Echo: The rumor ema-
mating from Atlanta of the candidacy
of Col. Jas. M. Smith for governor
which we published last week, was
doubtless only political gossip entirely
unauthorized by Col. Smith. Yet it has
put many over the state besides his
personal and political friends to think
ing which ny eliminate in strong
pressure | ( T.. ought to bear upon
the colonel to enter the race. That the
masses of the people want farmer
governor is not to be denied. That is,
they want a real farmer, not one of the
Agricultural Society variety, but one
who practices farming as well as
theories about il, one who works out
farming problems in the ground instead
of on paper or in speeches. Such is Col.
smith. We have had no intimation
whatever from Col. Smith as to wheth-
er or not he has the least idea of Of
fering for the place. We firmly be-
lieve that it is his time to do so; that
ne is peculiarly the man for the place
this time, and that the masses of the
state will so determine and elect him
over any other candidate who now Is
or will be in the race.

Albany Herald: Since Col. Estill has
become a candidate for governor the
newspapers of the state allude to the
editorials in the Savannah News as II
they were all from his pen. Yet the
newspaper men of the state all know

very little of the writing that is done

Pensacola. Fla, Sept. 29.-All the mo-

The cars are tied up in the sheds and

is that the company put a non-union

THE FARM AND THE GARDEN.
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
FARMER AND HOUSEWIFE.

Farm and Garden NOtes-hescue

Iixers for neutrality-suspicious. for
Grapes, Pecans. Etc.
At any one time the most important
work of the farm or garden is the
gathering of such crops as have ma
tured, it matters not what the season.
One should always have this In view.
With the Southern farmer just now
the most important work is the gath
ering in of the cotton. Being the
money" crop of the South 1t must be
regarded as chief. 1t is pity
the hay crop does not share equally
this Importance, but unfortunately 1t
does not AS our system goes, corn
stands next in Importance, though
much of it is made at clear loss to
the grower. The hay crop should be
of more Importance to our farmers
than that of corn. 1t could easily be
made of far more value. What a coun-
try for hay this is! Here and there and
altogether thousands of tons actually
going to waste rather than being saw
ed, and wherefore? Simply because 1t
was not raised with design or PREM
tent it is regarded as a superfiuity not
to be counted in the economy of the
farm operations. What mistake.
This year especially every ton of fair
hay will stand for good dozen OF dol
lars, gold or silver. No telling what II
will stand for by next May. 1t will
he mil his
patches of hay in the various hooks of
the farm rather than let it be lost. II
is a poor farmer that cannot be the
owner of a sharp scythe.- A mower is
not essential to the small farmer. He
can save a lot of hay without 1t. IL
half the land in Georgia that is
now planted to corn were given over
to grass culture, and intelligently so,
it would be worth immensely more to
the farmers that adopted the change
Land that makes five dollars worth
of corn would easily make ten dollars
worth of hay No doubt this is incom-
prehensible to many. but the state
ment is susceptible of proof. 1t has
been demonstrated frequently.
There are plenty of farmers still who
pull the leaves off of corn stalks but
leave the crabgrass to die on the land.
There must be a change some sweet
day." pity 1t comes so SLOW though.
AS the matured crop is being garner
ed the thought should be of the one
to follow.
To the Southern farmer the fall is
busy period of the year-crops ma
turing and matured and others to be
planted. From the 18th of September
to the 18th of November should be a
busy time with the wide-awake farm
er. Cotton, corn, hay, sweet potatoes,
sugar-cane, all to be garnered-wheat,
oats, barley and rye to be sown.
| And then there is much blowing that
can be done and should be done in the
winter. All clay land should be listed
| up to get the benefit of the freezes.

Stacked lime cannot be easily applied
with the ordinary fertilizer drill, but
unslacked lime, ground to coarse meal,
is now on the market, and this may
be successfully applied in this manner.
The function of lime is not, proper
ly speaking, that of a fertilizer as its
effect is not so much due to the actual
plant food which it carries to the soil
as to the rendering available of plant
food already in the SOIL and of i'm
proving the physical condition of the
soil itself; hence, the lime should be as
fresh as possible.
In consequence OF this effect OF lime
II should always be followed by liberal
manuring or fertilizing, otherwise it's
use will tend to exhaust the soil; but
lime should never be mixed with ma
nure, nor with other fertilizers, es-
pecially those containing ammonia, as
II will liberate the latter and cause its
escape. IL should be applied as long

STORY MIXED AS WELL AS MAPS.

pondent of the Morning News says that
the report in one of the Atlanta papers
about the new state maps that were
DESTROYED because Berrien was placed
in the wrong district, caused a smile
in that county The correspondent is
disposed to poke fun at Congressman
Brantley for his alleged position in the
matter, but the fact of the business is
that the Atlanta paper got the whole
matter wrong. Berrien county was
placed in Congressman Brantley's dis
trict by the new maps and the Elev-
enth District congressman, as well as
Congressman Griggs, called attention
to the error. The story in the Atlanta
paper placed both congressman, as well
as the agricultural commissioner, in a
ridiculous light.

The Third Handle.

The best account of the origin of the
loving cup comes from the late Lord
Lyons, British ambassador at Paris.
Henry Nv of France while hunting be-
came separated from his companions
and. feeling thirsty, called at wayside
inn for cup Of wine. The serving
maid on handing 1t to him as he sat on
horseback neglected to present the han
ule. Some wine was spilled, and his
majesty's white gauntlets We're soiled.
While riding home he bethought him
that two handled cup would prevent
a recurrence Of this, so his majesty
had two handled cup made at the
royal potteries and sent it to the inn.
On his next visit he called again for
wine. when. to his establishment, the
maid. having received instructions
from her mistress to be very careful Of
the kings cup. presented it to him by
holding it herself by each Of its han
dies. At once the happy idea struck
the king Of cup with three handles,
which was promptly acted upon. as his
majesty quantity said, Surely, out Of
three handles shall be able to get
one! Hence the loving cup.

The English Are Unmilitary.

I4e Gn8A1tNn are Unmll1t6fys
Partly from historical and partly per-
kaps from racial causes the English
are essentially unmilitary. They resent
the control of soldiers. They distrust
military ideals. No government that
ever existed in this country was more
unpopular than that of Oliver Cromwell
and his major generals. Its unpopu-
larity left an indelible mark on English
institutions. For many years it made
1t impossible to have standing army.
Even when the course of events made
1t necessary to cOncede that much to
the military necessities of the time it
still remained maxim for centuries
with all politicians that as little power
as possible must be granted to the SOL
diers; that their business was to fight
our wars, and, this being done, that
there was little or no place for them in
the body polite.
We do not think it necessary to de-
fend this attitude of mind. Like most
popular feelings, it is largely unjust,
but also, like many popular feelings, it
is based to some extent on true con-
ception. Politically, using the word in
its largest sense, the domination of the
military idea in state is calamitous.
1t tends, we believe, to destroy individ-
ualitv and Is a serious menace to indi-
vidual liberty. = English Monthly Re-
