FROM EDGAR.

The truck farmers at Wellman
are planting small patches to
brave the winter. So will we.
Messrs. Ben Brister and Con
way Summers returned from
their trip to the coast about a
week ago, much delighted with
observations during their visit to
Gulfport, Mississippi City, Beau.
voir, Biloxi and the saw mill
towns on the G.. & S. l. Railroad.
Square Summers has been
exceedingly busy since he re-
turned home, executing land
deeds and deeds in trust, etc.
He celebrated marriage rites be-

real estate in this section. Others
do the same thing.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Indianapolis News (Dem.) says:
1--WE doubt whether the proposed in
crease of salaries in the executive and
Legislative departments of the govern
ment will be exactly popular. But
there is the increased cost of living
and the greater demands for purple
and fine linen that can be urged in it's
behalf"
The Raleigh News and Observer
(Dem) says: 1.-The Savannah Morn
ing News advises the authorities at
Washington to consider the advisable
ity of adding rice to the army ration
or substituting it in place of some
thing less valuable and handy That
is good advice, and it ought to be
brought to the attention of the au-
thor1ties. The larger use of rice would
help the soldier and at the same time
help the South. The consumption of
rice In the North and West ought to
be cultivated. If rice were grown
in Wisconsin instead of Louisiana it
would have been on the army ration
long ago." sf
The Philadelphia Record (Dem)
says: Southern Democrats were
never enthusiastic over Bryan. nor did
they originate the free silver demand.
though they felt the need of more
currency, and 1t was generally believ-
ed among them that free coinage would
supply the needed circulation. But
they supported Bryan heartily because
Il was represented TO them that a
combination between the South and
West would win. IL was tried twice
and failed. The West Is Populist and
Republican, and most OF the Populsts
have returned to the Republican party,
where they were dozen or fifteen
years ago. The South therefore gives
up the Nebraska man without much
OF pang, and a canvass OF the Geor-
gia State Committee shows that hf-
teen OF the members are for a sound,
conservative candidate, six Tor Cleve-
land, I'VE for German, fou~ for Par
ker. three FOR Hearst and three for
