He's a King.

From the Norman Park Press.
The south Georgia farmer should
be the happiest man in creation.
Just look at his crop prospects-corn
the finest ever, cotton loaded with
bolls and will no doubt bring y
cents per pound, the biggest oat
crop in years, and everything else
in abundance. The farmer is king,
and don't you forget it.

HIS OWN LAWYER.

The Albany Herald has this para
graph:
"Guyte McLendon is his own
lawyer before the legislative
committee that is investigating
the charges preferred against
him in the order of Governor
Smith suspending him from the
office Of railroad commissioner.
In acting as his own lawyer he
not only makes sure of having
a good one, but one whose con-
duct of the defense will be in
line with his own ideas"
There is an old saying, and vel
accepted, that the man who is his
own lawyer has a fool for his client
This may be true, no matter how
good a lawyer one may be.

Every commercial report and ev-
cry statement of earnings of rail-
roads, express companies and indus
trial corporations that is issued now
shows that the country has entered
a period which promises to become
conspicuous by unprecedented COM
mercial and industrial. activities and
a phenomenal prosperity, says the
New Orleans Journal. There is a
daily growing confidence in the bust
ness world. 1t is worthy of note that
all captains of finance and industry
are extremely optimistic in their
views of the future. They believe
that, barring accidents, the country
is facing a period of record prosper
ity.
There is not one diverging opin-
ion that the business outlook is on
the whole very promising. We ex-
pect to see an enormous volume of
business done in this country next
autumn. Money is both easy and
abundant, and the purchasing power
of the railroads and other large cor
porations has been largely increased
by the numerous successful Rotations
of bonds. Tariff conditions will be
settled at least before the summer is
over. With money easy and with
confidence fully restored the coun-
try should enter upon the greatest
period of prosperity it has ever ex-
perienced.
Why should not the outlook be
most encouraging? There are no
disturbing political or economical
issues overhanging the business sit

MAJOR GENERAL LEONARD WOOD
Physician of

partment the German authorities had
forwarded 10 this government state
ments OF manufacturers concerning
lhe rate OF wages in Germany, with
the request that the names of the
manufacturers be not used. Stone read
a telegram from Berlin in which 1t
was stated that the German govern
ment had taken offense at Aldrich's
language because of the important po-
sition he occupied in the party and in
congress. Stone was insistent that
Aldrich's utterance was impolitic il not
impolite, and that he referred to the
German government in an important
way.
Aldrich disclaimed in an emphatic
manner that he had referred to the
German government, but was discuss
ing the various statements before the
committee.
Aldrich said his criticism was d.
rected towards an effort to use the
information from Germany to in
fluence American legislation. He pro-
ceeded to express his great. admira-
ton for Emperor William and the Ger
man people, and then read a number
OF extracts from the German report to
show there had not only been an ef-
fort to influence legislation, but that
the report contained criticisms of the
house committee on ways and means.
Depew spoke in depreciation of the
entire incident, saying 1t was absurd
to think the German government had
in reality given serious consideration
to the matter. Stone concluded his
presentation of the question by saying
that While there hadn't been a direct
retraction. the dose had been so sugar
coated by the eulogies upon Germany
as to remove the bitter taste.

general ends with him.
Major General Wood, who is now
ranking major general, entered the
army in 1885 as assistant surgeon. He
is the first doctor to fill the position
that he holds.
His advancement from the lowest
commissioned grade of the medical
corps to his present station is due
largely to the efforts of Theodore
Roosevelt.
The two became great friends while
Wood commanded the Rough Riders
as a volunteer colonel during the Span
ish-American war
After the war Mr. Roosevelt proved
the friendship that he felt, by, in 1901,
jumping Wood from the rank of cap
tain, which he attained in the regular
forces, to that Of brlgadier general. His
other promotions to his present posi-
tion followed rapidly.

Chester. Pa, June 3.-Government
officials are agitated over the discov-
cry of an obstruction in the Delaware
river. in the vicinity of Fort Mifflin,
which, they think, may prove to be a
treasure ship which went down in 1912.
1t Is known that there Is boat at the
bottom OF the river at that point and
war equipment Of value, as we'll as
gold and silver, are supposed to lie
within the hold of the ship
While the government boat Cataract
was working in the vicinity Monday the
suction pump became clogged. and
when 1t was brought to the surface it
was found to contain several fancy and
costly helmets, such as were worn by
the English soldiers, and equipments
of other descriptions.
The discovery has led to the belief
that it is one of the boats of the Eng

this country to pay its soldiers during

at this point.
