Mr. TAFT be elected, not only
because he is Republican, but
because he is "h is own selec-
ton"
The night riders have been
sending their messages to gin.
ners through this part of the
country, as well as elsewhere. A
farmer living near here has had
MS gin-horse burned twice this
lall, supposedly because he fail.
ed to sop ginning, as the nigl t
riders chad previously requested
him TO do. He has rebuilt
second time and says he is de
termined to find the guilty par.
'y, This is the only instance
we have heard Of where the
threats OF The night riders were
carried out. Very few of these
who have received their notices
have paid any attention to them,
but have been running their
gins on full time. The fine
weather we have had for the
past two weeks has caused cot.
ton TO open rapidly and lots OF
1T has been ginned and market
ed. Buyers say they have nev.
er seen the staple run better in
grade than it does this season.
Unless cotton advances from
the present price of nine cents,
we expect to see lots of farmers
hold their cotton, as some OF
them have no pressing obliga-
tlons to meet and many others
who have fall notes coming due
can arrange 10 store their cotton
for better prices. They report
very poor crop and say they
see no reason why cotton sh ould
not advance. In many places
they say they are ne arly through
picking and that the crop amounts
to little moe than one-half VIII a.
it should be. We don't think.
however, that The crop through
Georgia will average more tha
20 to 30 per cent eff, which is
bad enough.
Our city has just passed law
placing a license Of $4,000 pei
annum on "near heern dealers
For the benefit Of those who NAV
not have heard of our Georgia
'near beei",we will explain that
"near beer" is beer, and it aint
beer. In other words, 1t s suppos-
ed TO contain all the elements OF
beer, exc pt that it contains less
alcohol than beer. The prohibi.
ton law prohibits the sale Of any
thing containing as much alcohol
as real beer usually contains, so
they make il TO contain a little
less and call it "near beer".
There are about seventy five
dealers here who formerly oper-
ated saloons that now run "soft
drinkeries" but devote their at.
tention "mcstly" to the sale of
"near beer" The legislature
placed state license on all near
beer dealers and the cities are
beginning to do likewise. The
state law will increase the state
revenue about 100000, provid-
ed all the dealers pay the license,
which of course, they will have
to do, if they stay in the busi-
ness and most OF them will.
Even this "near beer" is intox.
icaIing, and occasionly a fellow
gets an overdose and has to face
the recorders court as a result.
1t doesn't satisfy the thirst of
booze fighters like whiskey, how
ever, and while "blind tigers are

Happenings in Georgia.

Joe Brown now Considered a
Bitter Pill"--Maconites to
Hear Some Big Campaign
Guns--Night Riders in
Georgia - Cotton Crop
Short Macon Monkeying
with Near Beer.
Editor Lancaster News: Hon
Joseph M. Brown, Democratic
nominee for Governor, has been
touring the State, stopping at
the largest cities and making
short talks in the interest of w
j. Bryan's candidacy for Presi-
dent, and incidentally in the in.
terest of his own candidacy for
Governor. We fail to see the
need OF any campaign in Georgia,
either in the interest of Mr..
Bryan or Mr.. Brown, and MIR.
Browns tour, just at this time,
seems useless, except for the
reason that t gives he people a
chance to see their next COVER
nor, a privilege and pleasure
they have been denied, hereto
fore. We don't believe that
Taft or Watson of Hisgen will
stand any show for [Georgia's
vote. Nor do we think that
Yancey Carter will get a better
showing than Walt Whitman
got when he used to run in the
primary In our s'ate so much.
We think some of the voters
here, including some of Mr..
Browns supporte s, especially
since they have seen and heard
Mr.. Brown, as he was here last
week, consider it a "bitter pill"
TO have to vote for him in the
election in October, but they
will do it, nevertheless. In fact,
some of his ardent supporters
here IL the primary, were very
much disappointed when they
actually came face to face"
with their favorite candidate and
heard him speak. 1t begins to
look very much like a "terrIble
trick" was played on the voters
of Georgia when the can
gered" opposition to Hoke
Smith PAT up Joe Brown against
him and kept him from going
before the people, knowing il
they let him get before the peo.
pie, their case was hopeless.
Macon folks are to have the
pleasure of hearing Hon. j. w.
Kern, Democatic candida'e for
Vice President, some time soon.
He is to make tour of the
Southern states, and has includ-
ed Macon in the list Of cities he
Is 10 visit. The city auditorium
will doubtless be filled to it's ut
most capacity on the night he is
to speak here, by people from
all over the state, as they will be
anxious to see and hea. the man,
who from present prospects is
quite likely to be our next Vice
President. Arrangements were
made for Mr.. Bryan to make a
visit to Macon some time before
the election, but owing to the
fact that his time was needed in
the doubtful states, and a visit
to this state, just at this time,
was deemed unnecessary, the
engagement was called off. He
has promised to come, after the
election, however, end his com.
ing will be looked forward to
with great deal of pleasure by
his Georgia admirers.

Suicide of Prof. Gowell.

Prof. Gilbert NJ. Gowell, who on the
first OF January severed his connection
with the University OF Maine after TWEEN
ty-five years. service, during which he
won a reputation which made his work
regarded by the United States department
OF agriculture as the most important ever
carried on in this county in poultry ex-
periments, killed himself last Wednesday
by shooting while in a state OF temporary
melancholia.
While the housekeeper, the only other
inmate of his residence, was absent on an
errand, Prof. Gowell obtained gun and
used it with fatal effect. Since the death
of his wife, two years ago, he had been
suffering mental depression, which re-
Gently became more marked. He was born
in Bowdoinham sixty-three years ago.
He had no children.
During recent years he had been pro-
lessor OF animal industry and in charge of
the poultry department at the agricultural
experiment station. He retired from ac
tive teaching last June and from work in
the experiment station on january. His
work in the poultry department was con-
sidered OF international as well as national
importance.

'sThe Belle Islers" is the title OF book
just published by Lothrop, Lee 4 Shepard
Co., OF Boston. The author is Richard
Brinsley Newman, and the illustrator is
Wallace Goldsmith, of Boston. The book
is a keenly humorous account OF life in a
country town as experienced by the family
OF minister Of simple hearted honesty,
which quality is fully taken advantage OF
by the townspeople.
One of the supposed family writes the
story, and is really prominent clergy
man who withholds his name. The
shrewdness, the hypocrisy, the shiftless-
ness, and the partially redeeming good
ness Of heart to be found in unpromising
individuals are all brought out in q way
that strikes home to the reader, while the
pathos that is never far from real humor
is strongly present.
The underlying purpose Of the author is
by ridicule to teach mean human nature a
lesson and shame it into better fashion.
The clever work OF Mr.. Goldsmith does
much to bring out the mirthful qualities
OF the book, while his quaint cover design
shows that he understands it to be far
more than a mere fun maker.

Nothing would give me greater pleasure

be an expensive trip, and perhaps some Of
you could combine pleasure with profit
and ''shop" little. Please think it over
and lay it before the column and let me
know what you decide"
We appreciate the invitation, and am
glad the reunion has been mentioned thus
early. Please express your opinions freely
in regard to the time and place.
Possibly some may consider that some
time in June would be good time in the

gard to it, or suggestions, can be men
toned.

METROPOLITAN Line.

The direct passenger service between
New York and Boston-all the way by
water via Long Island sound and the
Atlantic ocean-which was inaugurated
last season, was resumed for the season on
May II.
The express triple screw turbine steel
steamships Yale and Harvard were built
especially for this Route, and their patron
age at once demonstrated the great inter-
est of travellers, shippers and the public
generally in these fast and luxurious
steamships. The route, too, came in for
its share of extraordinary interest, for
never before had direct passenger and
express freight service between New York
and Boston all the way by water been
attempted.
The Yale and Harvard maintain an
hourly speed of twenty-four miles and
make the run direct between New York
and Boston in fifteen hours, leaving either
city every day in the week at O'Clock in
the evening; due in the other at O'Clock
the following morning.

The Burden OF overeducation.

Discussing the problem of overeduca-
ton of the American woman, Margaret
E. Sangster, in Woman's Home CompGa-
ion, asks and answers the question:
"What is Education, After All?''
SIS it not ascertaining how to make the
best of ones powers, how to arrange ones
stores, how to exert sweet, quiet and
fragrant influence throughout life, over
all whom one meets? If an advanced edu-
cation does this for one, then it is the
education one should seek.
sour difficulty is that we cannot allow
time enough for seed time and harvest.
Mothers are in despair il daughters occa-
sionally drop out OF school for six months
or year. We are much to apt to insist on
putting all our children, irrespective of
their natural bent, through the same edu-
cational factory. We do not make SUI
ficient allowance for temperament and
tendency, and thus it comes to pass that
some of us carry burdens, beneath the
weight Of which. we are crushed"
