JUDGE GOBER WILL PRACTICE LAW

On January l, 1909, Judge Geo. F.
Gober, for twenty years the bulwark OF
law and order in the Blue Ridge Circuit,
will lay the ermine off and again enter
the practice Of law.
Judge Gober is as we'll prepared to
handle intricate cases as any man in
Georgia; in fact, it is doubtful whether
he has many peers in the knowledge of
law in the State. For twenty years he
has been Judge, and in that time has
met every law point that can arise, it
would seem. Besides, he was solicitor
general for several years, and this
brought him into a close study of the
science and practice OF law.
The Judge will open an Office in Ma
rietta, and possibly one, too, in Atlanta.
He has already vast library ard is
getting in now new books that will be
useful in Statewide practice. He got
in the past week 208 volumes of the U /.
s. Supreme Court Reports, having now
perhaps the only full set in the county.
Marietta News.
We we're asked the other day whether
Judge Gober would practice law. The
above is an answer. He will make con-
stitutional and interstate lsw a spe-
cial study, and will no doubt be the re-
cipient of much patronage of intricate
cases that will involve large considera-
tons and amounts.

County Supervisors of State
Meet in jackson.

Jackson, Miss, October 49,
Members of the board of Super
visors of nearly every county in
the state were here yesterday to
attend the meeting of supervisors
and to assist in the organization
of a supervisors association.
More than one hundred were
present. and all entered heartily
into the purposes of the gathering
which are to discuss ways and
means on managing country af-
fairs with special attention to
road building, repairing and
maintenance.
After informal discussions OF
several propositions that are. IL

them now have to meet with the

The governor advised the sup
ervisors to take in the State Fair,
declaring it one ofthe best he had
ever seen-not so good, perhaps,
as the big Tennessee Fair at
Nashville, but better than the
recent fair at Memphis. AL the
conclusion Of the governors ad-
dress the convention adjourned
and at 3 o'clock repaired to an
unfrequented part Of the city
where they witnessed demonstra-
tons by manufacturers Of road
working machinery. There had
been no rain on the ground for
about three months and the red
clay was hard as rock, wherefore
the machines could do little, but
the engines proved exactly what
they can do, and the supervisors
were all delighted at the showing
made, many, doubtless, being
converted to the contract system.

How to Grow Cotton In Spite Of
Boil Weevill.

| Reduce the acreage in cot
ton to facilitate rapid cultivation.
2 Plant land in cotton that
natures the crop early. New
land or very fertile bottom land
should not be planted in cotton
in boil weevil districts.
3. Thoroughly pulverize the
soil a little deeper than it has ever
been before. A thorough prep
aration of the soil is absolutely
essential to success.
4. The rows must be wide en-
ough to give the sun access to ev-
cry part of the stalk aud especial
ly to the punctured squares when
they fall off. The sun will dry
and parch the punctured squares
that fall off so that very few of
the weevil eggs deposited in them
will hatch out.
5. Use fertilizer that contains
a large per cent, Of acid phos-
plate. The acid phosphate has
tens maturity. ! advise the use
of a mixture of 1900 pounds of 16
per cent acid phosphate and 1900
pounds cotton seed.
6. Plant the earliest maturing
varieties of cotton seed between
March goth and April 9Th. Cooks
improved, Kings Early, Triumph
and tools are recommended as
the best varieties to plant.
Z. Frequent and shallow cul-
tivation must be the rule. The
crop must not be permitted to
suffer for cultivation.
8. Burn cotton and corn stalks
dead grass, trash and trees as
soon as the cotton is all picked.
Burn around the stumps, burn
out the fence corners, and burn
off the woods around the fields.
8. Plow the land deep as soon
after burning off stalks, etc as
possible. A great many boil
weevils will be buried too deep
for resurrection in the spring.
A substantial compliance with
the above rules will enable us to
grow cotton in the presence of
the boil Weevil.

Why He Lost His Friends.

He was always wounding
their feelings. making sarcastic
or funny remarks at their ex-
pense.
He was cold and reserved in
his manner, cranky, gloomy
pessimistic.
He never threw the doors of
his heart wide open to the people
or took them into his confidence.
He was always ready to receive
assistance from his friends, but
always too busy or too stingy to
.assistthem in their time of need.
He regarded friendship as a
luxury to be enjoyed, instead Of
an opportunity for service.
He never learned that implicit,
generous trust is the very founda-
ton stone of friendship.
He never thought it worth
while to spend time in keeping
up his friendships.
He did not realize that friend
ship will not thrive on sentiment
alone; that there must be service
to nourish it.
He did not know the value
of thoughtfulness in little things.
He borrowed money from them.
He was not loyal to them.
He never hesitated to sacrifice
their reputation for his advan.
tage.
He was always saying mean
things about them in their alb.
sence.
He measured them by their
ability to advance him.

TAFT ELECTED.

The result of Tuesdays election
was not a surprise to those who
had watched the trend of affairs
for the past few weeks. The
use of money and the corrupt
practices of the republicans in
doubtful states and districts
turned the tide against democra-
cy and the republic answer once
more. Against this horde Of
corruptionists the democracy
seems powerless, but to demo
crat from principle defeat is more
to be priced than success by such
methods.
The result places Mr.. Ia ft in
the highest position in the gift
of the American people. 1t is a
honor that he has long coveted.
but one he was unable to secure
by fair means. We are promised
that his administration shall be
a continuation of the policies of
the man that made president.
The honor that comes to Judge
Taft was also coveted by one
more deserving of it, but an
honor that will always be denied
him. Mr.. Bryan is man Of
higher type than is his success
full rival, and he represents the
best and highest in American
citizenship. Although he cannot
attain the presidency, like many
of our best and greatest men, the
principles he represents shall
live as long as human liberty has
a representative on earth.
