GeOrgia'S Funny Politics
dublin Times.)

To a man up a tree, the political
situation in Georgia is one of the fun
niest things Imaginable outside of an
old-tme minstrel show.
That circumstances alter cases"
and Its altogether according to
whose OK is gored" are trite but ex-
tremely applicable sayings now in
sizing up the situation.
Less than two years ago a certain
element of Georgia Democrats were
twitting another element for allowing
Tom Watson to come into the in
ner councils and participate in the
campaign for governor. The former
element was told by the latter that
Tom Watson was good Democrat
and he had just as much right as
anybody else to take part in the pri-
mary.
The primary was held, Hoke Smith
ives selected as the nominee by ma
jority that is painful to many peo-
pie to even contemplate, and the new
governor was inaugurated
After he had been in Office only
few months Tom Watson began to
find fault, and he has lambasted
Gov. Smith and his administration
to the queens taste. Conditions have
switched around in such a way that
Mr.. Joe Brown believes he sees an
opening to defeat the governor, and
everything now is guess work with
the politicians.
But the really funny part is to be
related
Tom Watson is the man of the
hour. What attitude is the McDuffie
statesman going to assume? Many
of the former strong supporters of
Hoke Smith have become disguised
with Mr.. Watson on account of his
criticisms of the governor, and are
saying all kinds of ugly things about
him. The anti-Smithites are coming
back at the other side and asking
Did you not tell us in 1906 that
Watson was a great man and was en-
titled to all the privileges of a Dem
ocrat, just as if he had been a Demo-
crat all his life? Wherein has he
changed during the past year and
a half?"
Until Mr.. Watson shows his hand
definitely, the supporters of Brown
will say a great many nice things
about the Populist leader. If he
should declare himself for Brown
and take the stump or use his publ
cations in the interest of the Mari
eta mans candidacy, he would i'm
mediately have as his admirers thou
sands of Georgians who two years ago
could not find enough words to ex-
press their contempt of him. And he
would be called all the bad names in
the English language by those who
welcomed his support two years ago
and who would have a hard time
electing their man without his as
sistance.
Georgia has long been noted for
strange freaks of weather and strange
politics. The present complexion of
politics is about the limit

IT'S A FLAREBACK

Curses come home to roost" is
an aphorism which is being illustrated
just now in the matter of the leasing
the state convicts. At present these
leases are largely to South Georgia
lumber concerns, but owing to falling
off in demand these lessees are ask
ing that no more convicts be sent
them. They are only keeping open
their contract they must keep the
men employed
One of the chief consumers of
the South Georgia stock is the car
companies. Under the threat of the
Gov. Smith administration, added to
other influences, the car building COM
panies of the South have been shy
on orders from railroads, hence could
not purchase timbers
When the time comes to release the
convicts, the lumber mills will not
probably want half as many convicts
as they now have 1t will then be a
problem as to what to do with the
idle men. AS there is no state prison
in which to keep the convicts, it will
be grave problem how to keep the
prisoners in confinement even, LET
| alone getting anything from their
| services.
The problem is respectfully refer
red by the people of Georgia to the
administration for solution and ex-
PLANTATION.

Uncle Remus's for April

Two new features make their APP
pearance in the April number of I'm
Gle Remus's Magazine, each of which
adds to the attractiveness of that in
teresting publication One is Gil
bert Neal a serial story by Will
N. Harden, author of Nam Linda"
and Ann Boyd" two of the most sue
cessful novels of the last few years.
The other is something decidedly out
of the ordinary for a literary monthly
IA department called Uncle Remus
and the Children" conducted, of
course, by Joel Chandler Harris 1t
is cast along new lines and will doubt
less prove popular among the young
sters.
The April number of Uncle Remus s
is chock-full of other interesting mat
ter. In an editorial vein Joel Chand-
Ter Harris discusses Our Old Friend
the Noon" concerning himself chiefly
with her influence on young mans
fancy and incidentally on the Wea-
tire, the crops and the tides in the
Bay of Fundy Mr. Billy Saunders,
the Sage of Shady Dale, discourses
on True Love-a subject which he,
being a bachelor of forty years
standing, is particularly qualified to
handle.

TAKING CITY CENSUS

One ward, the Fourth, has already
been enumerated by the gentleman
who has the contract for the city
Mr. w. P. Persons, and found to con-
tain $3.50 people, The Third ward
which is the largest in point of mum
/ Der of inhabitants, is being counted
this week. Indications are that the
city will show bona-fide population
of around 10000 souls. This will be
an increase of over so per cent on the
figures of the last Federal census
which have been accepted by the var
ious commercial agencies for years
as representing the actual population
of the city,
Not only will this census establish
the claims of Americas to popula-
ton much larger than that in use in
the books, but when the Federal cen
sus is taken two years from now
another big gain will likely be shown
The coming of new industries and
the extension of the residence section
by the street car service will bring
about this result.
Though this city has not been
shouting itself hoarse about a Great
er Americus," the growth of the city
has been steady The citizens are
just fully awakening to the possihili-
ties of their home town

JOIN THE BOARD OF TRADE

: An energetic campaign is being car
ried on for new members for the
Board of Trade. A special effort is
being made to get as large a number
! as possible by the date of the annual
banquet on April 9,
We presume it is hardly necessary
to present any argument in favor of
Board of Trade No live town or
city can be found which does not
also have a live trade body.
Americas is entering upon period
of unequalled growth. both in inhabi-
tants and industries. AS long as the
street railway proposition was only
on paper. there was a natural hesi-
fancy all along the line. but with the
project we'll under way, this feeling
has given place to one of unlimited
confidence in the future.
A Board of Trade represents the
city in an official way. If new indus
tries are searching for location. or
old ones contemplating a change of
base, it is the Board of Trade which
takes up the matter officially. 1t is
the duty of the secretary to present
the advantages offered in clear aud
concise manner4
II is also true that the activities of
such an organization are limited by
the means at command A large mem
hership insures a f,,l treasury. which
in turn permits the putting forth OF
the best efforts for advertising the
city.
Southwest Georgia is a favored sec
yjou. and 10 it the eyes of manufac-
turers. home-seekers and farming col
onjeS are turning, In this inflow Sum
ter county and Americas are in posi-
ton TO take the Hons share,
The possibilities of a live Board
Of Trade, with sufficient sum on
hand 10 meet every emergency. are
broad, A city with practically every
business man and professional man
enrolled on its active list would be a
power for the upbulding of the
city.
Already the good offices of the
organization have been enlisted in
bringing a peach canning factory TO
Americas, at a time when its coming
will mean thousands of dollars to
the peach growers of Sumter this
season alone. One such industry a
year will repay the cost of the work
of the trade organization many times.
Besides this, the presence of a body
having in charge the commercial pros
perity Of the city will find abundant
opportunity to carry forward other
measures of interest to the city.
Let everybody who is willing to
work for the upbuilding of Americas
enroll. For those who are employed,
the growth of the city will mean wider
opportunities and more demand for
their services, while for those in
business for themselves the growth Of
the city will mean even more.
This is the time when the iron is
hot. A blow now will be worth many
delivered later.
Join the Board of Trade and become
factor in the upbuilding of the
city which is at hand, and which
can be greatly aided by the work of a
live organization such as the present
one.

The Augusta Herald is trying to rob
Sumter county of the honor of hay-
ing been the seat of the Garden OF
Eden. 1t sets up fictitious claim
that Richmond enjoyed the honor. The
thing is so palpably absurd that it
hardly needs contradiction. Rich
mond does not grow Elberta peaches,
and it was a large, juicy, luscious soft
Elberta that tempted Eve.-Americus
Times Recorder.
Richmond county does grow alberta
peaches, and, as of everything else
the finest sort. But it wasn't an FL
berta nor any other sort of peach,
with which Eve tempted Adam. This
is abundantly proven by the fact that
the sons of Adam say of anything that
is very nice to this day: TITS a peach, -
which they would not do if old Adam
had come to brief over a peach. So
one by one all counter claims are dis
proven, and it must be acknowledged
that Richmond county contains the
original site of the garden of Eden
