RED-HOT TIMES IN GEORGIA.

From the Washington Post
The Georgia cohesive refer to the
rivalry of the Hon. HOke Smith and the
equally Hon. Clark Howell over the
governorship of that state-is respOn-
sible we imagine, for the high temper
allure which has prevailed of late all
over the south, east of the Mississippi
river and this side Of Chevy Chase.
Radiating from that center OF calorlc
the heat waves have shot out IN all
directions for at least 500 miles. Sun
stroke prevailed in various localities
last Sunday. tt was so hot, down near
the Florida line, that the Crackers
made their wives split kindling wood
while they sat in the shade, and the
mOOnshine whisky siZZled as 1t went
down. Similar phenomena were OBJ
served by painting thousands every
where within the radius of the SQUAD
BILE, and at least one well-knOwn resi-
dent of the peanut district killed a
neighbours goose to make sure that she
had read the breastbOne signs correct
ly in November 1t is safe to say that
things are hot and still heatin',
Georgia way
Interest in this HOmeric struggle-w6
refer TO the struggle between Smith
and Howell-is famed into something
very much like hysteria by an indus
triOus circulation of truly life-like
wood cuts of the two antagonists. 1t is
a touching and significant fact, more
over, that the Observant outsider can
now tell with deadly accuracy the pre-
objections of each paper printing these
speaking Iikenesses by che manner in
which the likenesses are arranged.

with a strong, benign, and most i'm
pressive face while Clark Howell fig
ures as a pretty little parlOr darling
about the size of pair of shoes, with
| sweet fOrelOck plastered on his fore
head. And vice versa. The Clark How
J ell papers present HOke Smith as a
scowling, big-jowled ruffiar capable of
any crime, and Howell is passed up as
a miracle of physical beauty, with a
Imustache that must be curled and
scented like the Assyrian bull, and a
pair of melting, soulful eyes calculated
to make a debutante break out in
goose flesh. Altogether, one might
we'll describe it as the very prettiest
quarrel of the age.
Meanwhile, as the real voting doesn't
begin for a good many months, we try
to keep our emotions just one notch
below the boiling point. Naturally,
when the time comes we expect to get
hOarse from shouting and red in the
face through uncomfortable excite
ment, but, for the present, we are hold

success,

MACON Is THE PLACE.

Macon wants the state democratic
convention this year, and discussion
of the matter has brought to the sur
face a strong sentiment in favor OF
having the big body of democrats to
assemble in the Central City. AS a
place for the convention Macon is ad-
mirably suited. Being the geOgraph-
ical center of the state and easily ac-
cessible to the people of every sec
ton, having one of the largest audito-
RUINS in the south and being on neu-
trail ground that city offers advant-
ages and inducements for the conven-
tion that no other place can.
This paper favors Macon as the
place for holding the convention, and
We believe when the committee meets
to decide the matter they will, too,
after giving it impartial considera-
liOn.
Let the convention be held IN Ma

$4,000 ACRES OF GEORGIA LAND
Claimed by Nebraskan Who Thought That
He Had Bought the Tract

ATLANTA, Jan. PA man giving
his name as j. 7. Peavy, whose home
is in Nebraska, called at the Office of
Secretary of State Philip Cook to-day
to investigate a title to PIG, 900 acres of
land in Washington county, Georgia,
which he stated he had bought. He
declined to state what he had paid for
it. The title began with bogus Geor-
gia land grant purpOrted to have been
made to EnOch Nilsson, whose name
does not appear in any of the land
grant books, and it was stated it was
recorded in Book 4, Els page 514. On
the page in question is recorded a
grant of fifty five acres to Isaac Hodges
in Wilkes county.
Despite the fact that Peavy'S title is
shown to be fraudulent, he says he Is
going to Washington county to make
further investigation.
The traffic in bogus Georgia land
grants has been quite heavy of late,
and recently man named Dimes was
sentenced to serve five years by the
courts in ST. Louis for selling one OF
the bogus grants to a citizen of Mis-
/ souri,.

ITALIAN AND NEGRO LABOR
From the Savannah News


In an article based upon a paper
read at the recent meeting of the Amer
lean Economic Association by Mr..
Alfred H. Stone, of Mississippi, show
ing the relative merits of the italian
and the negro as labOrers on cotton
plantations the Houston Post eX-
presses the opinion that Italian labor
will gradually take the place of negro
labor in the south. In its article the
Post points out that Italian labor is
more reliable and intelligent In its
opinion corporations will go into the
business of raising cotton on large
scale, and they will naturally seek the
labor that promises the best returns.
In some sections of Arkansas where
Italians are farming for themselves
on shares, and where there are ne
groes who also are farming on that
plan, the Italians get twice as much
cotton from an acre as the negroes get,
simply because of better tillage and
closer attention to the needs OF the
crop.
1t may be the negro will begin to
realize after awhile that if he is to
hold his place as a labOrer in any part
of the south he will have to be indus
trious, reliable and intelligent. He has
been driven out of all of the most Iu-
crative avenues Of employment in the
north, and there is a prospect that he
will lose the hold he has upon the labor
field in the south. 1t is certain that his
shiftlessness will not be endured if his
place can be flied by more efficient
labOrer

THE FIRST PRIMARY ELECTION,

Valdosta is claiming to have orlgl-
mated primary elections, and says
the first one ever held in Georgia
occurred in that city nearly fifteen
years ago. THE News takes no
pleasure in doing so, but for the sake
of some facts it becomes this papers
duty to stick a pin in Valdosta's bub-
BILE. Primaries have been held in Ter
rell county for more than twenty years.
and as far back as we can remember
Though we must confess to being yet
quite youngl primary elections have
been held in our native county OF
Houston for members of the legisla-
ure and county officers. Just where
and when the system of primary cleo
tons was originated is not known,
but it is quite certain that it was not
in Valdosta fifteen years ago.

FIVE MILLION FOR A FENCE.

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch
The government of New South
Wales has spent over 81, 900, 900 for all
kinds of means to prevent the growth
of the rabbit plague, and it has now
been decided to fence in the whole
country with an immense wire net.
The expense for this wire net is es-
timated to exceed So, 900, 600, and it is
thought that the wire required for this
purpose can be imported from abroad
at the cost of about $3.50 per mile, de-
livered at Sydney.
The rabbit plague is increasing from
year to year, which is best shown by
! the fact that such an enormous amount
as s., 600, 600, or nearly 10 per cent. of
the annual revenue of the country, is
to be spent for this purpose.

wisdom is not confined to mere man. The chief
purpose of institutions that furnish homes, is TO
lesson the expense of living. And surely this
is problem that confronts the woman Of thirty
FIVE as well as it does the one Of younger years.
Often it is more difficult for the woman Of adj
vanced years than tits for the younger one to live
off the meagre salaries that the vast majority of
them get.
The women Of the press no doubt will continue
the agitation for the woman OF thirty-hve simply
because many of them are around that age them
selves. II
But why draw an arbitrary line. Some people
at fifty are young as others at thirty. And
in this era our women seem to be growing
younger and younger They are not put on the
shelf attired in old caps and depressing age, and
awe inspiring gowns, as they once were relegated
to the corner to do knitting and discourse pearls
of wisdom for the benefit of the rising generation.
Some folks think that women nowadays do not
get beyond thirty-hve anyway. And many of
them do not The age limit is a fancy with the
bright progressive up-to-date American woman.
