A CONTEMPORARY SET RIGHT

In proportion to area and pop
ulation the Madisonian makes
the assertion that Morgan coun-
ty is clearly the banner cotton
producing county of Georgia.
Where is any other county
which can controvert this claim?
Madison Madisonian.
Right here. According to sta
tistics gathered by the United States
the number of bales of
cotton grown in Morgan county in
1908 was 32,423, while in Terrell
county the yield was 35,120 bales.
Morgan county embraces 346 square
miles, while the area of Terrell is
$40 square miles.
Morgan is good county, but it
must move up a peg or two to get
in Terrell's class for good farming

Double BarreI Matrimonial PRIVILEGED

From the McDuffie Journal.
A Chinaman married a negress in
Atlanta last Monday, and he could
have married a white woman instead
If he had so wished, and under our
law either marriage would have
been legal. 1t is a perplexing fact
that in this country a Chinaman pos
sesses a double-barrel privilege in
nuptial selection not accorded to a
white man. Now, while he has a
right to invest in an Anglo-Saxon
appendage we do not think he should
also be allowed to carry his matri-
monsal war into Africa, and the SOL
onions in the legislature ought to To-
cate him so that he can't embarrass
posterity with such variety of out
landish colors.

THE benevolent assimilation of
the Filipinos," observes the Philadel-
phia Record, lis apparently not con-
Guided" Continuing; THE holding
of the Philippines as an American
colony has been a failure from the
outstart, and the sooner it is aban-
doned the better for all concerned
Without doubt the Record is right
here. Colonization can never be
practiced by a republic without in
jury.

1t is too bad that in their parting
hours the high priests of "refawm"
handed one another big punches of
bull-nettles instead of boquets of
fragrant flowers. For the informa-

where the pungent bull-nettle grows
it is proper to state that it's touch on
the skin is a combination of fire and
CAYENNE pepper combined.

ORATORS WON GAME

"Rube" Pollard, the Adonis of the Connecticut League, could have owned Bridgeport Saturday night but instead chased back to the corn Fields of Glas- tonbury where all day lyesterday he was the idol of the natives. .Rube' on Saturday pitched big league ball against New Haven, trimming them Bel The Glastonbury pride alloweN four hits, two of which came in the first, and did not give a pass to first. Reisigl, the New Haven .twir1er, was even more stingy with his hits, allow ing two, but gave two bases on balls error was recorded during the game, that by Sherwood in the third, which later resulted in the two runs for the Orators and a. win Of the four hits by New Haven three were two bag gers, while the fourth was attempted to be stretched into double sacker, but the runner was nailed.
 Bridgeport took the winning runs in the third inning Kocher opened up threw PoHardis sacrifice hit into the fence back of first base. ''Rube'' go- ing to second and Kocher to third Sherwood knocked down Steinhauser's drive, mailing Kocher at the plate- but Steiny took first. Pollard making third. Steinhauser stole second. Both men were scored when Hit uncovered a drive into right field.
 The lone New Haven run happened along in the first, on two baggers by Sherwood and Zacher. - A new record was made by Bridge port in that 24 put outs were rung up in succession without any mishaps in between, from the second out in the first till the second out in the ninth It looked like a tie score in the ninth, when after two were down Bertwhistle doubled into left center. Sherwood lifted what looked like a. Texas 1eaguer Into right, but Steinhauser came tear ing in saving the day for the Orators. The score:

But Larned defended his title in perfect form and won out easily last Friday. Larned has been champion four years and has been a prominent figure in tennis for more than 20 years. No other tennis player has won so many honors- His play this year betrayed in no manner the fact that he is more than 4Q years old. He won the cham pionship title in 1901 from M.

 Some boob from New Haven has thrown out the scare in that town that Umpire O'Brien robbed the Undertak- CTS of the game here Saturday. Blind ness must have affected the artist who contributed the joke for he says that IIilt was fairly struck out in the third with a hit to right that won the con test. Call again please. two balls were thrown to Hilt by Reisigl. one a strike on which SteinhauSer stole second and the other which Hit nailed out. It further states that Reisigl called ORrien for an unca1led strike, but such was not a fact. Reisigl seemed to be getting the wrong end of every decision in his own opinion and was fined a V, only after being warned by OBrien. Reisigl's abuse of O'Brien the members of his own club had to call him for it. He should have been put out of the grounds.
