We try to be right first; we may be
wrong often. We try to be fair with our neigh
bors, although we do not know that we have
that reputation.-Indee we sometimes fear
that we haven't. We are sure to be on the
right side of ever question we see it, although
we are frequently told that we are on the wrong
side. Whatever we be, it will be our level best.

No brighter more beautiful pleasant day
ever blessed any cline than this very day IN
Fitzgerald. The temperature, the clear clean
atmosphere, the bright sunshine of this day is
truely idealistic.
We have noticed but one South Georgia pa
per with has yet raised its voice against Judge
Spencer r. Atkinson for chief justice. Get
right, brother Mercer; you live in South Georgia
and your influence is too valuable to be set up
against your own section Press.
Chief Justice Fish will be honored with
fdll term by the people, regardless OF the oppo-
sition that few politicians are endeavor1ng to
put forth with no reason only the unquench1ng
thirst of Spencer Atkinson for office again.

There will be others. Will the Press
please be patient?
The war on intoxicants is being pushed as
never before in the history of the world. The
U. S. government, through the interior depart
ment has taken strong stand, on high ground
against alcoholic medicines" 1t is shown that
Hostetter's Bitters contain 44% of alchol; Lydia
Pinkham's 300; Hood s Sarsaparilla 1870; Ayers
Sarsapari1la 26% Blood Bitters $50, and on down
the list. AS to Peruna any one wishing to make
it for home consumption may do so by mixing
half pint of cologne spirits, 90 proof with pint
and half of water, adding thereto little Gu
bebs for flavor and little burned sugar for color
1t will cost, in small quantities, perhaps seven
or eight cents per quart. Manufactured in
bulk so a former Peruna agent estimates, its
cost, including bottle and wrapper, is about eight

The man who is looking for something easy
is a mistake. Not that there not plenty of
easy propositions and easy people, but they are
easy only to those who do things. There is

personality. The world is easy enough to the
man who is willing and it's uneasy enough to the

We have always been for higher prices for
cotton.-Almost every southern man is. This
season we have believed that the price would be
much better although it has been very good
from the first bale to the present day. Now the
indications are that the price will be very much
higher The latest authentic report indicates an
astonishing short crop. The effort made by
Harvie Jordan and the organized cotton planters
to reduce the acreage was successful to mark
ed degree and nature has done the rest. The
supply is two and half million bales short of
the demand and the price, we predict will be
away up before spring. The dispatches of yes
terday state:
Washington, Oct. "A total of 6,94O,72S
bales of cotton ginned in the United States up
to October IS, is the statement announced in
bulletin issued by the census bureau today. In
this calculation, round bales counted as half
bales, and the figures given in the bulletin are
based on reports made by the bureaus special
agents in the field.
