A CAPITAL IDEA.

In Oklahoma the farmers are
forming acre clubs, each member
taking one acre for an experimental
crop, doing his best with it, and
when the season is over reporting
his experience, inclusive of mis-
takes, and describing his methods
This is the most practical form of
agricultural education. Few farm
ers are so skilled in agricultural
science that they cannot learn some
thing from their associates. The
Oklahoma plan is a kind of extern
sion of the experiment station, a re-
production in miniature on the indi-
vidual farm of the principles gov
erning the stations.
1t is a most excellent idea, and
If generally carried out would prove
to be of great educational benefit. The
Farmers Union of Terrell County
could do great good among its own
members and farmers generally by
adopting the plan.

THE TRIP OF THE TRAIN.

The agricultural train" has fin
ished it's tour, and perhaps tbs well.
The object of the train, as originally
planned, was commendable, but it
was fast being turned into a political
junket Politicians who happened
to be in position to do so took ad-
vantage of it to swing around the
circle and meet the people, and it
was not infrequently the case that
the speakers who were along to give
the farmers suggestions and ideas
on agriculture had but small oppor-
tunity to do so, much of the time
being taken up by those who We're
along to SOW political seed in max
ing declarations of undying love for
the farmer and swearing eternal
allegiance to his welfare What
he wanted to hear about, how
ever. was how to pillow and plant
and fertilize in order to grow
more corn and cotton and potatoes,
and how to prevent or destroy in
furious bugs and plant diseases.
When the train visited Dawson we
had three very entertaining and to
some extent instructive address on
farm topics that were much enjoyed
by the large crowd who turned out

A CHANGE OF FRONT.

It amuses contemporary to
note "the change of front of GER
tain individuals in Georgia towards
Hon. Thomas E Watson. A few
months ago some of the citizens were
landing him to the skies. Now they
say he is too cratic to be a safe
leader; that he is too selfish; that
he is too much of a dictator, etc,
and has lost all of his following,
anyhow. The change of front is due
TO the fact that Mr.. Watson is no
longer in sympathy with the admin
istration. He takes occasion to say
this in every issue of his paper.
1t is noticeable, too, that the At
lanta Journal, the Augusta Herald
and one or two other newspapers,
Notwithstanding that what the great
p0pulist is writing these days is just
as spicy and interesting reading to
the general public as what he wrote
two years ago, are not printing it
under headlines of box car type that
extend across the page, In fact,
their silence as to what Mr.. Watson
is saying these days makes the
dumbness of an oyster sound like a
brass band.

MHEN noCTORs DISAGREE.

What the doctors don't kno"
about the effects of tobacco smoking
on the human system is partly IN
dicated by an experiment lately
made at Columbia University by the
nbvsical director. DR.. SeaVer' OF
Vale in a similar test of students
found that the growth of under
graduates was stunted by smoking.
Tn the Columbia examination Dr.
Meylan found the opposite. His tests
seemed to show that tobacco, while
it affects the heart and shortens the
wind" of athletes, does not harm
the lungs. Smokers excelled non
users of tobacco in physical meas
urements; the smokers were taller
of the two classes.
differences from such experiments
are worth little, as the conflict OF
results at two colleges tends to prove.
There exist other factors in stunt
ing or accelerating growth which
are not included. Food and various
habits will count in one college, more
or less, according to its locality and
the conditions. But even if the test
were to embrace all the colleges or
all the factors there could be no
confidence in the deduction either
that tobacco was bad or that it was
GOOD i'm itS effects
Humanity varies as widely in its
susceptibility to tObacco's influence
as to foods Smoking is as poison
Gus to some. men as eating straw
berries is to others. The moderate
puffer COunsels moderation, the tee |
totaler urges abstinence, and the
heavy smoker insists that the habit +,
cannot be carried to excess. There
are those to whom tobacco is a vile |
drug; others hold that "a woman |
is only a woman, but a good cigar is /
a smoke" All that seems fairly we'll |
settled is that tobacco will not kill |
anyone who does not use it. But
some doctor will come along, no
doubt. and prove that nervous pros
tration may be caused by leaving off |
the pipe or the cigarette.
In any case it would seem that !
doctors have but little to do when
they spend their time on such a
question

HERE IS SOMETHING UNUSUAL.


1t is seldom that opposition to the
fee system comes from those VINO
eyDect to be its beneticiaries. But
abolition of the fee system is one

TEN the sOlicitors-genera re-
ceive as compensation from $4,-

the fee system was abolished
and solicitors-general put on a
salary of $4,000 per annum the
state would pay the twenty-five
solicitors-general $4,000 per
annum. If the fee system con-
tinues they will receive in fees
$15O,0O0 annually. Now, as
business proposition, l submit
to you that $4,000 is sufficient
compensation for solicitor

Mr.. Shelton has served both in |

storm of opposition which embryo

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?

The reported idleness of $4,000
union men in the city of New York
and a proportionate number in many
other large cities is disquieting to
those who have been fOndly hoping
that the end of the depressing finan-
cial conditions was in sight. How
many nOn-union unemployed men
there are in the large cities is not
stated, but it is safe to assume that
there are more of them than OF the
union men. The Dublin Times says
of the unpromising situation, which
is generally conceded to have been
brought about by political agitators
and demagogues:
1t is hard to conceive of such
an army of men tramping the
streets of the great cities with
nothing to do. In the back
ground are thousands OF women
and children dependent upon
these unemployed people, and it
is quite certain that many of
them are suffering for the act
ual necessities of life.
Six months ago there was
more work for men and women
than there were laborers. The
demand for help in every de-
partment was greater than ever
known.
Suddenly there was a change.
Labor became plentiful; now
it is a glut on the market.
Who caused this?
At whose door should this
miserable condition of affairs be
laid?
Who is responsible for the
hunger of the women and chill
dren in the great cities, and the
despair Of the men who want
employment and cannot get it?

Candy Kisses.

Two for a penny, in papers OF gold
With little love legends in fervency told;
Horehound and lemon, that lasted so long
In girhoods of fancy and ladhoods OF song;
Sweet candy kisses dream of you stlll
In the little shop window by Partrdges Mill
Two for a penny-ah, open and see
The love-token hidden and waiting for thee,
The roses are red and the vioets blue,
No knife can sever true love in two.
Sweet candy kisses, what legends of truth
Youth passed with blush to a maid IN heF youth!
Two for a pennv-each one with its slip
OF love bubbling up from the heart to the lip
over the desk where she studied at schoo
Cupid's sweet messages broke every rule:
Sweet candy ksses-all snug in the jar
On the shelf in the shop of our chlldhoods ataT
TWO for a penny-how courtly, how fine
The love-laden beauty of each tender line!
How rapt how ecstatic your gaze when you drew
The slip from the kiss she had handed to you:
Sweet candy kisses-n loves day of gold
When timd hearts faltered and fair lips were bold.
Two for penny-ah. sweethearts of spring
When life held souls in its April-bright wing.
Ho, the quaint window, and no! the quaint store,
Where a little bell rang when you opened the door
Sweet candy kisses, what bushes were wrought
When love-strcken children thy love lyrics bought!
Two for a penny-hearts sing the old song
In the gates of the where the rosy maids throng,
But lips never told the old story so well
AS the little white slips with their beautiful spell:
Sweet candy kisses-that spoke the warm words
Love learned in dream from the ardOr of birds!
Sweet candy kisses-bronze wrappers and gold,
Each one with its lyric of loverhood rolled
For secrets of sweethearts and keepsakes of dream
In the jar the shelf in the days OF chlIdgleam:
Sweet candy kisses-lOve's legends have fed,
But volets still blue and the is still red!
