Sundays Constitution has half page adver,
tisament of the Independence Party and W.
Carter candidate for Governor of Georgia that
ticket. tits probably all right for Democratic
papers to accept the paid advertisement of an an,
tagonistic party, but it opens up rather unique
question to olive. Conspicuous in the adver
tisement is the following:
tIW1LL YOU HELP SAVE GEORGIA FROM CORRUPT
BOSSES?
To the Public-Spirted Citizens of Georgia:
DO you want to cooperate with us in the
election of Clean, Honest, Boss Free Governor?
Such man can and will save the people of
this state for the shame of Terrell an English.
DO you wish to lend your aid in routing a
boss-ruled nominn?
Do you want to help us elect man who will
owe allegiance only to the people of Georgia if so
vote for Yancy Garter for Governor"
Certainly that looks funny to little Joe Brown
in a paper published by Clark Howell.

THE COUNTY CHAIN GANG.
Pull for Fitzgerald or Pull

z Under the management of Supt. T. F. Tyler,
the new county chain gang has been thoroughly
organized and with the equipment furnished by
She county commissioners is doing considerable
needed work on the county highways. Until Sat
nrday Mr.. Tyler has had only twelve convicts in
the gang which is too small by half to do effective
work We would be glad to see the County Comis-
sioners take steps to secure eight or ten felony
hOnvicts as twenty men could be handled for
bout the same expense that the present gang costs
The county; in other words it would be clear

. ndent, the same equipment, teams and guards

The great plains of the west were called the
great American desert when the writer was q
school boy, later most of the land was considered
valuable for grazing and other purposes but large
districts where the rain fall is less than twenty
five inches per annum have until very recently
been considered entirely worthless for farming
purposes . By scientific manipulation of the soil
and culture of the crops the lands have been
made to yield large and profitable crops of grain
Thousands of acres of wild p1areS is being tur-
ned over to great depth by disk gang plows drawn
by traction engines. 1t would require four to six
horses to bring the ordinary turn pillow to the
desired Depth and the surface of the soil is kept
open with frequent narrowing. In this manner the
rain is stored in the soil by the deep breaking and
prevented from evaporatng by the narrowing pro-
cess.
Scientific farming is not necessary in this sec
tion but the farmers who adopts scientific and
sensible methods produce greater crops.
Pul Tor Fitzgerald or
Fitzgerald is suffering great hardships in the
matter of the mail service The recent change
in the A. B. & A. schedule has completely
upset our mail connections. The new schedule is
appreciated because it is a vast improvement
over the old far as railroad travel is concer-
ned, but there seems to be no way by which we
can get the papers at a reasonable hour, the ear
liest morning papers, from Savannah, reaching
here at eleven O'Clock.
The Enterprise has not given up the hope aud
is still working on better connection, via Helena
with Atlanta and Macon.
The S. A. L. train from Helena to Columbus
leaves Helena just thirty minutes before the
arrival of the Southern train from the north There
seems to be no necessity for the departure of the
Columbus train so early, apparently to avoid
this important connection) as it makes no con-
Anection between Helena and Columbus and leisuT-
" runs into Columbus fifteen minutes before the
moon hour. Leaving Helena at $40: distance of
zone hundred and fifty three miles Certainly the
run could be made in six hours without great
hazard.
Nobody seems to know why they pull out from
the junction just before the arrival of the Southern
train Evidently it would not cost great deal to
change the schedule to forty minutes later.
The train could make up the time before it
Preached Americas, half way, as we suggested
above without any risk any inconvenience. 1t
would not be disastrous even detrimental to the
thirty minutes later.
