The delights of wintering in Florida are
manifold One of mine consisted in paying the
Southern Express Company nine dollars for
delivering to me case of vichy water that cost
me ten dollars. The express company could
have pulled me for eleven dollars just as easy as
it did for nine, and have spent many happy
hours laughing at the company for missing
such a chance.-Watson Jeffersonan.
No man on earth tell why they didn't
charge HOO. They have probably come to
that rate by this time. There is no authority
to prevent it and they have smart men figuring
on the rates. who take only one thing into the
calculation and that is, how much will the pub
lie stand.
Speaking of the recent wholesale raid
Herald says The new mayor of the
city knew that gambling was going on in
Savannah. The chief Of police and every
policeman in Savannah also knew it, and
when it was decided to break up the dens
the rest was easy, for the police we'll knew
where to find the game. 1t is a common
thing here in Georgia for the police to
flush negro crap games and run in squads
Of negro gamblers, while regular gambling
houses, some of them swell places, with
professional keepers and genteel habitues
are left unmolested; but this Savannah
raid, in which the officers sought the big
game and made great bag, is something
conspcuously refreshing. Suppose, just sup
pose-the mayor and chief of police of every
city in Georgia we're to follow the Savan-
nah example, what shaking up and clear
ing up of the moral atmosphere there would
be!'-Tifton Gazette.

1t is believed that number of new coun-
ties will be made in South Georgia. This
is as it should be. Large counties are
great nuisances to the people who live in
them. A farm that lies close to the
county seat is worth great deal more
than one long way of-Fitzgerald Enter
prise.
We did not know that there was any
movement for more new counties. The
last legislature created a new one and the
session before that made eight. The peo'
pie ratified Ben Hill county, but they may
not be in humor to try the experiment
again. New counties are expensive and al
tho there are localities in South Georgia
which probably need them, still it is fact
these projects usually grow under the in
fuence of some enterprising town, which is
ambitious to be made county site or they
are the developments of land booms. We
do not know that the farms near the county
site are more valuable than farms away
from there Good land is not dependent
upon court houses or county officers. Land
situated near river is apt to be far richer
than land convenient to a county site.
The new county around GAINESVILLE
came very near carrying last summer, but
it was prevented by the herculean efforts of
Monroe and Pike. The representatives of
these counties were violently against it. It
may be renewed in the June legislature, If
doeS ofc course there will he more new
