PEACH CROP CAUSED 1T?

Committeeman Tells Why Late Date
Was Fixed FOR the Primary.
The following interesting item bear
ing upon the late date for the state
primary is from the Savannah Press:
"The peach crop of north Georgia
played leading part in the determi-
nation of Aug. - as the date for the
state primary, says Mr.. A. A. Law
renee, who returned this morning
from Atlanta, where he attended the
meeting of the democratic state execu-
tive committee yesterday.
1.-The delegates from south Georgia
were inclined to an earlier date for the
primary, and dates from July 10 on
were suggested by them. The north
Georgia delegates, however, having
in mind the fact that date earlier
than the middle of August would in
terfere with the gathering of the
peach crop, held out for a later date.
The date selected was therefore agreed
upon as a compromise.
"Mr. Lawrence thinks that the date
is all right. He thinks that it is very
favorable to the chances of Colonel
Estill, the south Georgia candidate, as
he entered the race later than the
other candidates.

q friend who was unhappily married,
wouldn't you wish for a divorce for
her? And they speak of the evil eff
fects for the children, but it is much
better for a child to go with one parent
or another than to be brought up IN
an atmosphere of discord. But it is
not the divorce, but the marrying
again, of which Mrs. Blake spoke
which troubles us, and that Is differ
ent question"
1.-The greatest cause Of misery to the
greatest number Of women-that should
be the basis of a uniform divorce law,
and that can be found by statistics"
said Mrs. Sally Cory. "a uniform di-
vOrce law need not be stringent, and If
a bright woman ever wanted to get
a divorce she would be sure to manage
it,"
1--WE must give the states a chance
for evolution in divorce laws" said
Mrs. Trow. In the newer states,
where everything is in a state of tran
sition, there are more reasons for di-
vOrce, and there should be more meth
DDS for obtaining it. In the older ones
they abolish the reasons for divorce.
But the trouble is not in the ease with
which we get divorces, but the ease
with which we are married | have
known twenty cases of unhappy mar
riages because of observation-disclosures or
of deformlty which untitled for the re-
ell Of n pIsin
I'VE ought to have central divorce
laws from Washington" said Mrs. Win
fired Judge, the club president, $50 that
a woman need not wake up in the
morning and ind that she has been di-
vorced overnight in some little halt
baked community, and that has been
done. To have the state requirement
for divorce crime for either man or
woman is a terrible thing, for it brings
disgrace upon the children.
Abandonment or drunkenness and
abuse are good causes for divorce
When a society woman is divorced
there is talk all over the country about
It, but no one knows of the many di
vorces that take place among the mem
bers Of the foreign element of our pop
ulation. "Wednesday matinees' they
call the days in the courts where the
poor people go TO get their divorces
and the judges say that the women
are treated so abOminably that it would
be wicked not to let them get them
easily"
Then the S. P. S. voted that there
really should be q universal divorce
law.

HABITS on THE HEDGEHOG.

With the advent of the cold nights
of autumn the hedgehog-one of the
most misunderstood creatures that

THE LAST LEAF.

The manner in which the leaf-fall
proceeds in different trees is note,
worthy. The ends of the branches
lose their leaves first in the ash,
beech and hornbeam, when the body
of the tree is still clothed with bright
foliage. The poplars and willows have
an exactly contrary habit, for when
the trunk is stripped of foliage, the
branch ends are still decorated with
few lone leaves which wave like
ragged banners beneath the Novem-
Der sky. 1t is remarkable how tena-
ciously these last leaves cling to the
tossing boughs. At last they alst
come hurtling to the frozen groun;
and the bare trees of the forest give
forth once more under the strong
winds urging, that stern sonorous mu-
sic which will last through the win:

1t must be remembered that the Presi-
dents proclamation appointing day of
thank offering and praise to the Most
High goes not only to the forty-five States
and territories, but also to the new island
dependencies of the republic-Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines. The natives
OF these tropical climes take quite kindly
to any sort of a holiday, especially holi-
day that involves feast, SO that Thanks
giving is already popular among them.
Uncle Sans national bird, the gobbler,

How to Cook a Turkey.

A chef who has for many years presided
over the cuisine of one of New York
City's best hotels gives this recipe for pre-
pairing and cooking the Thanksgiving tur-
key:
"Slit the neck of the turkey from the
back of the head down its whole length
and with the fingers separate the skin
from it. Cut the skin little above the
middle and pull apart, then cut the neck
off at the base. That VIII leave the skin
intact for further use.
Take the intestines out through an in
cision in the abdomen, but first take out
the crop by inserting the finger where you
have cut the neck off: Loosen the strings,
or pipes, inside and pull them easily, then
the whole crop will come out intact. Wash
well, and the turkey will be ready for
stuffing.
For the stuffing soak small stale loaf
of bread in cold water and when sof.
squeeze all the water out place in bowl,
add salt, pepper, thyme or sage or both;
