AT the Irwin horse sale in Holyoke,
Saturday, horses sold at what seems
like old time prices.
1t is only few years ago that some
of the horse raisers sold Off their horses
an quit the business because, as they
said, horses would never be good price
again, for the automobile and bicycle
had come to stay and the horse must go.
The wise horse raiser went right along
with his business just as though moth,

ing big profits. Low prices should no,

Just attend one of these public sales
that are being held in this county and
you will soon be convinced that the talk
Of the kicker about hard times is al
hot air. A sale was held this wsek
near Holyoke at which $1,000 worth Of
personal property changed hands and
sold for several hundred dollars more
than the owner expected to realize for
il. At all Of these sales, property Is
selling at the old time high prices show
ing that the farmers OF Phillips county
take no stock at all in the talk Of the
kicker about the hard times that have
followed that trouble on Wall Street.
In fact, the few kiekers who for time
did indulge in such gloomy talk about
business prospects have become so much
ashamed Of Themselves that they have
altogether quit It and will be ready to
soon join the boosters.

4 PROMISING STATESMAN.

Hail to the champion of the
Chicle Chewers!" Thrice hail. May
his memory never grow cold in the
minds of the pretty typewriter girls
whose hearts he will have made
happy if his efforts in their behalf
prove successful!
He is Congressman Gustavus Kus-
terman, who for the first time rep
resents the Ninth district of Wiscon-
sin in congress, and the title he has
earned has come to him through his
contemplated and announced efforts
to undermine the chicle trust and
reduce the tariff on that modern in
dispensable. OF course all the girls
who finger the typewriter keys for a
living know that "chicle" is just the
dictionary name for 'chewin' gum,
and when Mr.. Kusterman announced
that he would use his best efforts to
bring about the free entry of the
raw product from Central American
and other points there was pro
Ionged and anticipatory smacking of
girlish lips in and about the offices
of the capital. The Wisconsin con-
gresham is member of the commit
tee on alcoholic liquor traffic, and
the girls can't exactly figure out what
effect the reduction of the price of
chewing gum will have on the liquor
traffic, but they're grateful just the
same.

, NEW POSTAL REGULATION.

An order promulgated on Decem-
her 4th. by the postoffice department
at washington denies to publishers
the privilege of mailing their papers
tn subscribers after specified time
following the expiration of the sub
scription.
This new Postal Regulation says;
"A reasonable time will be allowed
nublishers to secure renewals OF sub
scriptions. but unless subscriptions
arc EXPRESSLY renewed after the term
for which they are paid within the
following periods: Dailies within
three months, semi-weeklies within
nine months and weeklies within one
wear. they shall not be counted in
the legitimate list of subscribers, and
comics mailed on account thereof
shall not be accepted for mailing at
the second class postage rate, etc.
1t will be seen from this that pub
fishers of weekly newspapers cannot
carry on their lists subscribers who
are in arrears as long, or longer,
than a year. Postmasters have,
however, in order that subscribers
and publishers may have opportunity
to adjust themselves to the new situ-
alton, been given authority to exer-
else discretion in the enforcement OF
the new rule for a few weeks.
The News has quite a number OF
subscribers on its list, good men
whose patronage we esteem, who are
a year or more in arrears. We would
regret to be compelled to erase their
names, but it is a matter that will
not be discretionary with us, the
government having taken it out OF
our hands, unless they settle their
dues at an early day. If you are one
of these consult the label on your
paper and send or bring in the
amount you owe.

DOES NOT STATE 1T FAIRLY.

The Augusta Herald of Saturday
said: 1.-The Dawson News, referring
to the committee appointments given
by Mr.. John Sharpe Williams to
Hon. T. W. Hardwick and in reply
to The Herald's comment on the
same, says that Mr.. Hardwick has
been treated as if he were a joke,
and that the Tenth district has
heretofore been fortunate in having
a congressman who was not looked
on away from home in that light. y
The Herald then, after saying this
was unkind and unjust, proceeded to
denounce Mr. John Sharpe Williams,
the minority leader of the house, for
alleged bad treatment of the Tenth
district congressman, and character
lied him as petty" 'peurile' and
unfit for the high place he holds.
The Dawson News did not say any
such thing as The Herald says we
said. Our contemporary has not
stated it fairly What we did say,
which was in effect a quotation from
The Herald itself, and in no
sense was intended as a reply
to that paper, was: "The Au-
gusta Herald says the congress
man from that district, Mr.. Hard
wick, has been treated, in assign
ment to committees, as if he were
a joke, and is not pleased thereat. "
That's quite different to the way
the Augusta Herald puts it. The
fact is, we have not seen anything
in any paper except The Herald,
which now comes so valiantly to his
defense, about Mr. Hardwick being
treated as Joke"
The News has neither personal or
political i'll will for the Tenth dis
trict member, and if, as The Herald
saws. he has not received the recog-
milton in congress he deserves we
regret it. We esteem him as very
nice young man who has some abil-
ity and is a good politician. He is
an average congressman. The Tenth
district could have a much worse rep
resentative, and some day will prob
ably have a better one.
AS to The Herald's denunciation
of Leader Williams The News has
nothing to say. The News, itself, is
not an admirer of the Mississippian.
He is, however, looked on by the
whole country as a very able and
fair and sincere man, and his recent
reelection to the leadership of the
minority of the house, which is now
nearly one half of that body, with
only four dissenting votes shows thai
Mr.. Hardwick's colleagues do not en-
terrain the opinion of Williams The
Augusta Herald does.
We extend profound sympathy t.
our contemporary and hope it is feel
ing better by now.

A DUDES PICTURE.

The newspapers generally have re-
produced from The News the account
of how MI H. T. Bridges, one OF
the progressive young farmers OF
Terrell county, grew 81 bales of cot
ton on 81 acres of land. The
Griffin News and Sun was, however
a bit more enterprising than others
of our contemporaries, and printed
as a likeness of Mr.. Bridges the
picture of a town dude who had his
hair slicked and parted in the mid
die and wore standing collar six
inches high. That fellow never
plowed furrow in his life. much

Goodbye, Teddy Bears.

From the Augusta Herald.
1t is reported by dealers in Christ
mas goods and toys in New York
that the craze for Teddy bears is
dying out. They assign as the rea-
son for this conclusion the fact that
of their unsold stock the largest pro-
portion is Teddy bears. Dogs, mon
keys and rabbits were sold in large
numbers, while the Teddy bears re-
manned on the shelves neglected, de-
spised and unsold. From this it Is
reasoned, and the report is doubtless
sent out to help produce this effect,
that Roosevelt is fast losing in pop
ularity.

NOW HERES A ..FEAR" FOR YOU!

An Atlanta alderman is quoted as
expressing a fear" that under the
operations of the prohibition law the
chaingang will be depleted and the
city will not have sufficient force
to work her streets. The same
fear has been expressed as to state
convicts. The News has neither pa
thence with nor respect for the indi-
vidual or community that would
profit by the frailties and degradation
of fellow beings-that want blood
money. One of the strongest argu-
ments in favor of prohibition has
been that it would do the very thing
the Atlanta official fears it will do.
The News has never believed as
strong in statutory prohibition as
have some of our friends, but II 1t
will empty the chaingangs we are
prepared to say that no mistake has
been made.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

Governor Smith was the guest OF
Savannah one day last week, and the
Savannah Morning News, whose ed
itor contested with him for the nom
nation in the last primary, extended
to him the following welcome;
Savannahs greetings to Gov
ernOr Smith! His visit here to-
day will be the first that he has
paid the states chief seaport
since his inauguration. The re-
ception that will be accorded
him will be cordial and sincere.
He has many personal admirers
in Savannah, in addition to
which his high office is univer-
sally respected and the citizens
generally desire to have him I'M
derstand that he is in the house
of his friends. There will be a
large attendance at the city hall
this afternoon to welcome the
governor, and at all times dur
ing his visit he will be made to
feel that he has the respect and
esteem of his fellow citizens.
That's an admirable spirit, and
one The News commends to some
others of its Georgia contemporaries.

A Good Suggestion.

From the Darien Gazette
Make il a rule this year to pat
ronize Georgia institutions of every
description. Millions of dollars go
ont of the state every year to enrich
people away from home, and a great
big slice of this money could be just
as easily kept at home. This is a
matter that our people should give
serious thought to. This money
should be spent at home whenever
it is possible.-Darien Gazette.
