The Chinese boycott against American
goods has now extended to Chinese merchants
in Japan. Mr.. WI Tingfang, formerly Chinese
minister at Washington, is said to be behind the
the boycott movement. Mr.. WI learned many
things while in Washington. One of them was
the sensitiveness of the American pocket-nerve,
and the other was the effectiveness of the boy
colt.
1.-THE grandest agricultural display ever
seen ia the South" is the way Col. J. M. Hunt,
the famous Jones County Farmer, describes the
outlook for the coming Georgia Farmers Fair
at Macon. "And as for live stock, he continues,
the people will be amazed at the number and
quality that will be on exhibition" Everybody
says the poultry show last year was the finest
ever seen in Georgia: this year it will be even
greater.
Yesterday was pension day and the city was
thronged with old veterans who we're in having
preciate what great factor this pension money
is towards helping make Fitzgerald the best
town in South Georgia. Thousands of dollars
turned loose here every three months by the old
soldiers is what tided this city over her early
vcissitudes and helped put her on the rock OF
prosperity.
Editor Sam Small, of the Brunswick Jour-
nal, is one of the most brilliant writer's in the
South but he is troubled with occasional fits of
Indigestion and is prone to slip his trolly during
the paroxysms. Tuesday he had one of his
worst attacks, to which the following editorial
paragraph can be attributed.
''Of course, cut out the expense of
those farmers institutes. They are
only free shows where bucolic dema-

We have been sitting here on the fence all
these sweltering weeks waiting for Mercer of
the Fitzgerald Enterprise and Perham of the
Waycross Herald to shove that South Georgia

think gentlemen, that there is no end to our po-
litical endurauce?-M Montgomery Monitor.

man is poor when he has lost the conf
dence of his friends, when people near to him do
not believe him, when his character is honey
combed by deceit, punctured by dishonesty.
He is poor when he makes money at the ex-
pense of his character, when principles does
not stand clear out supreme in his ideas. When
this is clouded he is in danger of the worst kind
of poverty. To be in the poor house is not nec-
essariy to be poor. If you have maintained
your integrity, if your character stands four
square to the world, if you have never bent the
knee of principle to avarice you are not poor--Ex.
The New York Commercial says: The tel
ephone and the free delivery of mail have in
creased Georgia farm lands from $40 to 500 per
acre" Yes, telephones and mails, and hard
hoeing and blowing and draining and building of
houses and fences, and raising cattle and stock,
have indeed increased prices of farm lands. In
crease of population, improved methods of farm
ing, the building up of impoverished lands, rail
road extensions the construction of good country
roads, etc., have all had something to do with
the matte. The telephone and the mail helped,
but thew didn't do it all.-Savannah Morning
