instance.
The stock law for the county will have to
come sooner or later because of scarcity of fence
material; but it should come in way that would
work no hardship upon those who have made
no preparation for it.-Ocilla Star.

After all it may be ruse to keep South
Georgia out of her rights, but the organized
politicians may be depended on to scare up sew
eral South Georgia candidates after Hoke and
Clark are off, Certainly before they reach the
home stretch.
The most terrific rain and wind storm of
the season, struck Fitzgerald yesterday about
$3.50 p. m. The wind attained velocity, per-
haps of 40 miles per hour for several minutes.
The rain descended in a perfect deluge No
great damage was done.
Hon. Hoke Smith, it is said, is being urged
to make the race for governor. Mr.. Smith is
one of Georgia g ablest statemen, and really be-
longs in the United States senate. He would
make governor that Georgia would be proud of.

Clark Howell's friends should see to it that
Sidney Tapp does not align himself with their
campaign, since he says he will not support Hoke

meet the requirements.

VEG WE exnect to have our Way about it,
It's easy if we are on the right side of the issue
and that is the first thing we try to be certain
about Then we turn in and manufacture a
healthy public sentiment before which the
Vaccinations of the most stubborn man or set

We reassert that the convenience of the
people should be the sole impelling motive
in creating new counties or moving courthouses.
Individual interests should not be considered
except as they conserve the interests of peo-
pie generally who are to be affected by the for
nation of new counties or the changing of court
house 1ocations.-Ocilla Star.

Jno. M. Hays, member of Augustus city
council has introduced and had adopted by the
council of that city resolution looking to the
enactment of bill for the consolidation of all
state and county elections, such as justices OF
the peace, county boards of education as well as
county officers on the day of state election. Mr..
Hays resolution is on the right line We have
entirely too many elections.
If Hon. Hoke Smith enters the race for gov.
ernor, Mr.. Cleveland and Judge Parker ought
to come down and make speeches for him.
Dublin Courier Dispatch.
AS friend of Hoke Smith we make in all
seriousness this proposition to the Courier Dis
patch that we will use our best efforts to secure
the services of Judge Parker and ex-Presldent
Cleveland, if he will make conscientious effort
to secure the services of Mary Ellen Lease and
Coin Harvey for his candidate. Precisely the
same reason exists in both suggestions. What
say you Editor Stanley?

The price of cotton, as well as the price of
tnrpentine, may be said to be soaring again.
The price advanced quarter of cent yester-
day and now it is possible for the farmer to
guarantee himself about SC for his cotton next
fall. Cotton is selling at sac per pound in Sa-
vannah today. Spirits of turpentne is selling
at 75c per gallon. Both of these staple products
on which this section depends more largely
than anything else, bringing one hundred
If this could be guaranteed for term of years,
this would be the richest country in the world.
