THE NEED OF FARM LABORERS.

From many parts of the South
comes the report that there is need
.of farm laborcrs. II Is stated on
the authority of Mr.. Stevens, the
Commissioner of Agriculture, that
there was such a scarcity Of labor
in southeast Georgia that the far
mers would lose large per cent
of their cotton crop on account of
their inability to get the grass out
of their cotton fields. That part
of Georgia isn't the only part of
this state where there is scarcity
of labor. The negroes are DESERT
ing the farms all the time. They
are going to the towns, to the rail
roads, to the saw-mills, and the
naval stores plants. 1t is evident
that the farmer will have to change
their system of farming-that is,
they will have to cultivate it on
intensive system, or else fndA
new supply of labor.

SENATOR STEVE CLAY.

Observers of the political trend
in Georgia cannot have failed to
note certain rumblings Indicative
of desire, in certain quarters, to
oppose the reelection of United
States Senator Steve Clay.
Notwithstanding that excellent
opportunities have presented
themselves for specific disclaimers
of such intention on the part of
those understood to have been the
chief instigators of the aforemen-
toned rumblings, it will not es-
cape notice that there have been
no such disclaimers. There has
been no specific denial of pur-
pose to oppose Senator Clay
, Honeyed expressions of personal
friendship, expressed in general
terms, will not blind the friends
and admirers of the Junior sena-
tor to the real facts.
1t may, perhaps be considered
too early for Senator Clay to make
announcement of his plans and
purposes, but it is not too early
for his friends to serve notice of
their sincere appreciation of the
splendid service he has rendered
Georgia and of their intention to
help to continue him in his pre-
sent position of great usefulness
to the state,
Thus early does the Constitu-
tion repeat what it has frequently
said heretofore, that Georgia new
er had in the United States Senate
q man who, judged from the
standpoint of practical value, has
more ably represented the best in
terests OF the state and it's people
than Senator Clay. Georgia new
er had O public official who has
gwen his services more devotedlv
tothe best interests of all the'peo-
pie than he, From the day when
he first qualified as member of
the United States Senate he has
devoted his time, his best energies,
his undivided attention to the full
fillment of the duties of that high
Office, aud what is more lmpor-
tant, he has made his work count
in every direction.
The people of Georgia know this
and they know that his influence
and power to achieve will increase
with each year of his continued
service at the national capital.
While, therefore, Senator Clay
may not be discussing the ques.
ton of his succeeding himself, the
people of Georgia are, and there car
be no possible question where the
people stand. 'Realizingas ehey dc
the significance of the rumblingG
of opposition mentioned above
Senators Clay's friends, from one
end of Georgia to the other, will
see to it that they are properly
and promptly answered, and in M
unquivocal or halG-hearted way

OF all vices to which young
men become slaves idleness is by
no means the least. 1t is a vice
easily contracted in youth and
hard to throw off in manhood or
old age. Unfortunately, it is not
generally looked upon as al evil
in the sense that drinking, gamb-
ling and debauchery are evils yet,
it's influence is no less certain in
breaking down character and sap

Broken as we say farewell.

Sever when we've said farewell.
