PASS IT.

A bill has been introduced in
the lower house of the general as
sembly providing for a reduction of
the railroad commission from five to
three members, and the ousting of
the legal adviser Judge Hines) and
the rate expert, and also a reduction
in the salary of the chairman of the
commission, all of which would mean
q saving of some $4,000 to the
taxpayers of Georgia.
The News has always contended,
and the people have now come to
see it, that the enlargement OF the
railroad commission and the Gre
alton of the office of legal adviser
was altogether unnecessary and a
useless expense. These, as well as
some other sinecures, should be abol
ished by the Legislature before thai
body adjourns.

THE LAST OF THE DAVIS FAMILY

THE ashes of Margaret Davis
Hayes, in a tiny metallic urn, were
inferred today in a vault in Ever
green cemetery here. The final hon.
ors over the Daughter of the Con-
federacy' were as simple as she had
wished, the service following the
usual Episcopal form, with the sing
ing of the two favorite songs of Mrs.
Hayes"
This announcement from Colorado
Springs, Colo, conveys to the nation
the information that the final words
have been spoken over the body of
the last survivor of one of the most
illustrious families of the south.
Within a few days the ashes of
this last daughter of the confedera-
cy will be committed to their final
resting place in Richmond by the
side of her illustrious father, Jeffer-
son Davis, the first and last presi-
dent of the Confederate States of
America.

1t is pleasant sight to travel
through Terrell county and see the
fields of waving corn that meet the
eye. Some who are supposed to
be competent to judge corn yields
say there are a number of farmers
who will get a hundred bushels from
an acre of land, and one farmer has
an acre of prize corn which it has
been estimated will yield hundred
and sixty bushels.

POLITICS.
From the Cordele Rambler.

From the Cordele Rambler.
A gentleman remarked yesterday
that the present legislature was the
best that we have had in years be-
cause they have done so little He
favors less lawmaking, and was con-
sequently pleased with our present
body of sleepy politicians.
The legislature of Georgia is GER
tainly getting to be a complete farce
quite a number of the members are
off attending to private business,
while others are politicking for some
other and better job, and among
them they do nothing but spend the
peoples money
The McLendon matter furnished a
lot of food for politicians who want
to kill legislation; the Smith crowd
use it to defeat the Brown men, and
the Brown men use it to further de-
stroy the half dead Smith policies
politics, politics, nothing but poll
tics.

WOULD YOU EMPLOY YOURSELF?

Suppose the conditions were Just

Are you the sort of man you would

If not; if there are little flaws in
your character as you turn the spot

Grind 'em out! Get rid of them,
because there is no telling when you
may be hiring men, and you'll want

The Atlanta Journal is about to
throw a fit because, it claims, there
may be an extra session of the leg
islature. All of which is very anus
ing. There has not been even an in
timation of an extra session except
by The Journal and the newspapers
that are served with Atlanta news
from its Office, and if there was any
probability of the legislature meet
ing again the Atlanta paper would
not be the medium through which it
would first be made known. 1t has

Fifty More Georgia Colonies.
From the Baltimore Sun.

VIZ
Fifty more colonies in Georgia,
fifty more uniforms, fifty more nota-
bic citizens march, fifty more follow
the horns. Fifty more colonies In
Georgia-that makes ten thousand
and one; fifty more fellows to strut
and have fun, fifty more Georgia big
guns. They're thicker than "skeet-
ers' in Jersey, they're thicker than
CRABS IN the bay, until the whole
state OF old Georgia is getting to be
one "Hooray!" But Georgia is dry
as boneyard-oh, list to the
mourntul sound!-with fifty more
colonies in Georgia, and not enough
drinks to go round.

fails to note the possibilities of rap
idly increasing his wealth by the
planting of valuable trees, and he
voluntarily exchanges the rights of
Ia king and the privileges of a free
man for a daily wage and the badge
of service.
The prosperity of the cities, so far
as relates to the masses, is illusory.
The number of toilers who finally
acquire a reasonable reserve for old
age in the country as compared with
the same class in the cities is ten
to one, taking the whole country in
to account.
While the wage is high in the
cities the costs of rents and living
are in proportion. The multiplied
attractions induce a habit of liberal
spending, not conducive to economy.
The small farmer may earn less. but
he can save more.

The Douglas Argus thinks that if
we are to have a compulsory edu-

as to compel teachers to teach. Too

most of them do is to let the chill

Interesting New Gold Piece

The new $3.50 gold piece is a triae
smaller in diameter than the penny and
is thinner by trihe than the dime.
The edge of the coin is similar to that
of the 10-cent piece. One of the most
interesting features in connection with
the coin is that the characters, pictures
and numerals are pressed in the metal,
and do not stick OUT" as is the case
with other United States money. 1t is
constructed that way, it is believed, SO
the coin will stand more wear without
the loss of its identity.
The Indian head, similar in appear
ance to that on the new twenty" is
the central figure on one side of the
coin. On the outer edge of this side are
stars and the letters and figures Liber-
ty" 1907. The word is at the top
of the piece and the numerals at the
bottom, with stars filling the spaces.
On the other side the central figure
is the eagle, of the same character as
that on the larger new gold pieces, the
bird being said to wear pants" At the
top OF the coin are the words United
States of America and at the bottom
the characters "27a Dollars" At the
left of the eagle is the old, familiar " E
Pluribus Unum" and on the right In
God We Trust. "-Lynden Tribune.

ma ParliaIity at Ihe AppIe Show

IN. A. S. Officials Show No Favor
itism" is the title of leading article
prepared by DR.. Granville Lowther,
editor of the Washington Fruit Grower,
published at North Yakima. Discuss
ing the rules adopted by the organiza-
ton for the apple show at Spokane,
DR.. Lowther says:
There has been much dissatisfac-
ton over the rules adopted by the
National Apple Show this year, but at
this time all complaints appear to have
been disposed of. The management
of the show has had some difficult
problems to contend with this year, but
we believe they have handled them
firmly and for the best interests of all
concerned. The show will be held
November IS to 20, and we believe it
will be a success.
The National Apple Show has set
of splendid business men on its board
of control and they are necessary to
make such big enterprise success.
But, unfortunately, they are but little
posted on the apple industry, and so
have made, unknowingly, many little
mistakes in making up their rules and
prize list. They have tried to correct
these wherever possible and will surely
avoid them all in another year.
THE men back Of the National
Apple Show are absolutely honest in
their purpose and are not knowingly
showing any favoritism. They have
calmly considered the complaints made
and have at all times acted in the in
terests of all exhibitors, and not for any
particular district. This is the proper
attitude to make the National Apple
Show a success, and the growers
should appreciate this and do their
part in making exhibits.
