Tiger Number One noted
that he had plenty of
company in his tumul-
tuous journey toward the
sea. There were timbers
and logs and fragments
of buildings. Bundles of
stacked cornstalks rolled
along, occasionally lifting
their shaggy heads like
weary swimmers. A hen
clinging dizzily to the
side of a revolving box
went past him, "cah-dah-
ing" shrilly. AS for Col
umbus Bushee, he kicked
his feet hard, showed his
head as far above water
as he could and hallooed
Justify. But as far as he
could notice no one heard;
no one replied. He went
bowling around the bend
of the river and into the
shadows, the flare of the
fire lighting the heavens
behind him.
In the gloom it seemed
that he was surrounded
by innumerable bobbing
heads. He shouted at
these swimmers, and then
by humping against one
perceived that they were
pumpkins swept from the
miles of intervale land.
Off at one side was float
ing something that doomed

ties and kept his nose just above water. His
feet dragged on timbers that he realized must be
fragments of the lower bridge, and then spinning
round and round he swept into the current of Swift
River, now sweled to mighty volume.

perceiving the lights before.
The water seemed smoother.
1t dawned on him that he
must be moving in an eddy
in some overlooked meadow
and was continually passing
the same buildings. This time
he shouted with new vigor, and
a woman's voice answered
him.
Who is it," she shrieked.

She followed along the bank.
"All I've got is my clothes

buoyed by his sack and buckets, kicked toward
it. He discovered that it was a section of roof
shingled, and evidently torn from some small
building like tie-up or shed. BY dnt of strug-

up the edge and chung by broken timber. The

kitchen windows

LOSS TO THE STATE.

The death from pneumonia on
Thursday morning OF Hon. Walter b.
Hill, chancellor of the State Universe
ty, was heard with sorrow through
out Georgia. He was one of the most
highly esteemed executives that ever
sat at the head of this great educa-
ional institution.
Chancellor Hill was identified with
the educational interests of Georgia
tor number of years, and in each OF
the positions held by him he discharg-
ed his duties IN manner to reflect the
highest credit upon his stewardship.
AS lawyer, also, he won the esteem
and confidence of the commonwealth.
And in addition to his public and
semi-public work he was an active
laborer for the propagation of chris
tianity.
Georgia has lost a gentle, talented
and public-spirited man-one who will
be gratefully remembered by his fell
low Georgians, and whose labors will
hear fruit for time to come.

A REAL FARMER LORD.

Everybody's Magazine prints an in
teresting article about a Mexican
farmer, Don Luis Terrazas, who has
what you might call tidy little farm
at Chihuahua-abo eight million
acres. 1t takes the Mexican Central
trains half a day to cross it.
Don Luis, says the Magazine, is
thought to own more than a million
cattle. His stable consists of some
100, 600 horses; his sheep-fold of 7O0,-
900 sheep. From 100000 to 100000
are branded with his brand every
spring. More than the sand COW
bows and so on keep his cattle on a
thousand hills. BY the way, his farm
includes few mountains for diversi-
dcation.
At his slaughter and packing houses
near Chihuahua City 100000 cattle, as
many sheep, and hogs innumerable
are killed, and away they go in his
own refrigerator cars. Some 10000
persons dwell on his estate and are
ruled by this Arabian Nights farmer,
who lives in a two-milliOn dollar cas-
tie, and is swell and nabob such as
these United States know not.

HON. JOSEPH HALL.

The way in which Hon. Joseph
Halls formal statement that he will
not enter the race for governor
was received by press and people en-
phasizes the popularity of this great
tribune. With one accord confidence
is expressed in his ability and integ-
rity and the sincerity of his views,
and there is no doubt that had he be-
come candidate he would have been
strong factor in the race and would
have had to be reckoned with by the
other aspirants. AS it is, there are
thousands of his fellow-citizens who
regret that they will not have an OPP
portunity to cast their ballots for
him.
Mr. Hall frankly admits it was his
purpose to be candidate for govern
or, but says that Hon. Hoke Smith
came along and appropriated his bait
gourd and divided the reform forces,
thus making it impossible for any one
representing the issues he stands for
and has put life into to make a sue
cessful campaign. He declares the
whole matter has narrowed down to a
personal struggle between Mr.. Smith
and Mr.. Howell, and that no matter
who wins it will be a defeat for true
reform.
It is gratifying to know, however,
that the public service of the rugged
and fearless statesman from Bibb will
probably not be altogether lost, as he
states he will again be candidate for
the Legislature. And here's success to
him! May Godfrey district see her
duty and do it!

PROPER CREDIT GIVEN.

The brownsville Times-Enterprlst
paws this well-merited tribute to Con
gresham Griggs:
Congressman Griggs, of this
district, is on the postofhce ana
printing committees. Mr.. Griggs
is a valuable man, especially on
the postoffice committee. he IS
hand in glove with those In pow
er, and when Jim Griggs says SO
it goes. The southern part OF
Georgia has the best and most
complete system OF rural routes
that we know Of anywhere, and to
Mr.. Griggs belongs a goodly por- .
tiOn of the credit
What our contemporary says OF
Judge Griggs is true. The second
district is network of rural mail
routes, and the farmers of every nook
and corner enjoy the advantages OF
a daily mail. In numberless other
ways Judge Griggs has been useful to
his constituents, and at election time
this year they will, with great enthu-
siasm and unanimity, return him to
congress for the sixth time. He IS
stronger with the people than ever be-
fore. In fact, the only opposition to
him is outside of the district, and
there is only one of it.

REAL TEMPERANCE.

From the brownsville TImes- Enterprise.
The growth of temperance sentiment
is noticeable in this section of the cOun-
try A few years ago it was no I'M
common thing for a man to be theo-
retical prOhibitiOnist By this we mean
a man who opposed barrOOms, but
who took his teddy on the side or kept
a lug under his bed. Such man was
not regarded as a freak of nature,
nor was his action glaringly inconsist-
ent. Now these men are pointed out
and laughed at. 1t is gradually COM
ing about that the man who heads q
prohibition fight is expected to do him
self as he tells others to do, abstain
from the use of liquor. 1t is no bad
sign Of the times.
A recent significant happening occur
ing in the neighbOring city OF Moultrle
illustrates this tendency. There was
mass meeting of the townspeople.
The object was to discuss the handling
of liquor in the dry county of Colqultt.
Resolutions were offered cOndemnlng
the illegal sale OF liquor, and
stating that the federal revenue
laws and the prohibition laws of Col
Quit county were openly and blatantly
violated and willfully trampled upon.
These resolutions were amended and
passed. each signer pledging his sacred
honor that he will refrain from the use
of intoxicating liquor in any form. Il
is really remarkable fact that this
sweeping pledge was sighed by two
| hundred men. When people are will
ing to 90 to the length mentioned in
this pledge it is evident that they are
| +Lnpn,1nhlIr in earnest
The most noteworthy portion of the
proceedings relates to the personal alb
stinence from strong drink. Such a
course of action is really the way to
solve the liquor problem. When men s
conscience triumphs over their appe-
tites then will the vexed matter be
settled, and not until then.

THE TERMS OF THE DEBATE.

The mode of procedure; the time
and the place for the joint debate at
Columbus between Hon. HOke Smith
and Hon. Clark Howell have been
agreed upon by the representatives OF
the respective candidates. 1t will oc-
cur on January 10th. in the opera
house. and begin promptly at noon.
Mr.. Howell will open the debate in
speech of one hour, Mr.. Smith will
follow in a speech of one hour and
half, and Mr.. Howell will conclude IN
a speech of half an hour. In intro
ducing the speakers the presiding Off
Ger will be as brief as possible, with
out laudatory remarks OF any sort.
Only white male persons q years of
age or over will be admitted to hear
the discussion.
Although this is Mr.. Howell's APP
pointment, and Mr.. Smith will be
present by courtesy Of Mr.. Howell,
the Atlanta Journal is not pleased,
and is trying to make it appear that
the arrangements are unfair to Mr..
Smith. The only thing that would
please the Journal would be for Mr..
Howell to turn over the meeting en-
tirely to his opponents.
1t being Mr.. Howells appointment,
the division of time is in strict accord
with precedent and every sense of fair
ness. The people, regardless of their
for governor, have expect
ed nothing else.

HAS TURNED TO GOATS.

Secretary Wilson of the department
Of agriculture has turned his attention
for the present from cotton statistics
leak scandal and ALTO the nanny
goat. He believes that the milking
goat, which has been neglected in
America, should be introduced, and
has imported siXty-eight such goats
from Malta and sent them to the gov
eminent experiment station in Con
necticut, where their adaptability to
American conditions will be tested.
Goats milk is said to resemble human
milk more than any other, and is
therefore good for young children and
invalids. Mr.. Wilson recommends
the milk goat for people who cannot
keep a COW. Goats milk is generally
used in Europe. In Italy the milkman
drives his goats through the streets OF
the town and up the stairs of the lodg-
ing houses, and at the door draws the
lodger's morning supply Of milk d.
rect from the animal. 1t is not proba-
Ole that American farmers will adopt
This custom.

MAKE DAWSON GROW!

Let one of your New Year resolu'
tions be to make Dawson grow-tc
make the year just begun the greatest
in the history of the city. The follow
ing from the Hawkinsville News ano
Dispatch is so appropriate and so ap
plicable to Dawson just at this time
that we reproduce it here:
When matters arise affecting the
material welfare of this city every
particle of personality should be
buried for the time being until the
object sought has been accom-
plished. The city is remarkably
free from strife of all kinds and our
people are cemented by genuine
fellowship that is not only
positively refreshing, but also APP
parent to the outsider. Harmony
is a beautiful thing, ami this we
have, and there is no evidence of
it's early departure. The people of
this city are thoroughly in love
with it. Show them how its inter-
ests can be advanced and the sac
rifce to accomplish the same will
be cheerfully made. There is no
one who will not exert his every
influence and strain point to fur
Their the interest of this city. Above
all, let us cultivate the habit of
trading at home. That should be
easy to do, and by so doing you
will assist wonderfully in the
growth of the city. When a dol
lar is spent with your home mer-
chant you stand chance of shar-
ing in its work. When this dollar
is sent away it goes to enrich some
other section, and is of no further
value to you. The little saving
you sometime make by sending
out of town for thing is infnites-
imal when compared to the future
benefit to be derived by keeping the
money in circulation at home.
Let's make 1906 the greatest year
Dawson has over known. Let no one
stand in the way.
