ganize this club, but about the time the
Commercial club was ready to invite the
railroad men, some road would boost the
railroad rates or eliminate an allowance
which would make the shippers all sore for
a few weeks. When the railroad men were
getting ready to make advances to the
shippers, some shipper would hire an at
torney and file a petition before some COM
mission to force down a railroad rate.
But everything is beautiful now. The time
is opportune, say the business men and
the big railroad men. They point to- the

THE VALUE OF sOBRIETY.

The Washington Star draws a good
lesson from the death of Engineer
Bush of the Southern Railway. The
lesson is the value of sobriety to
young men and older ones. The
young men of the country" says the
Star, commenting on the engineers
desire to have it known that he was
sober, ARE being made to realize as
never before that responsibility in
business life is one of the most val
liable assets that a worker in the
field OF human effort can have. AS
never before the standard of personal
trustworthiness is being maintained.
Employers are insisting upon good
habits on the part of all whom they
engage. No man is entrusted with
difficult or dangerous duties unless
ii is assured that he is temperate,
for the Incorporate man may fail at
the supreme moment-fail in judg-
ment or physical capacity" The
Star adds that the business aspect
of the temperance movement is the
most powerful"
All employers of labor are now in
sisting upon sobriety and good char
acter in their men. The Columbus
Ledger says the head of one of the
large industrial enterprises in that
city recently said that the best
recommendation young man hunt
ing employment with his company
can have is a card showing that
the applicant is a member in good
standing of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association.

THE ADVANCE OF THE FARMER.

The agricultural balance of trade
in the United States has increased
during the past twelve years from a
yearly average of $234,000,000 to
S411,O0O,OOO, or 1871 per cent, ac-
cording to the agricultural depart
ment's year book just made public.
This wonderful development is on
~ in keeping with the progress that
has been made along all lines of ag-
ricultural activity. At the same time,
it is said, many conditions affecting
the lives of the farmers of the coun-
try have advanced in even greater
ratio until many of the undesirable
features of farm life have been elm
mated.
During these twelve years there
has been a great Investigation and
geographic extension of product,
apart from the cultivation. of new
land Although there has been a de-
creasing production per acre of what
was only recently virgin soil there
was an increased production per acre
Of the entire country.
The yield per acre of cotton during
the ten years ending with 1906 was
from mean of 172 pounds per acre
during the preceding ten years to a
mean of 1911 pounds, or an IL per
cent increase. Other crops have kept
pace with cotton.
In no section CT the country, per-
haps, has there been greater ad-
vancement in agricultural pursuits
than here in Terrell county and
Southwest Georgia. Production has
been doubled and in many instances
thribbled, and the value of farm land
has advanced in like ratio.

MIR. HARTMAN.

The Importance of a master mind
is well brought out by the interest
displayed in the physical condition
of Edward H. Hartman, who has
just returned from visit to Europe,
where he went to consult eminent
physicians. 1t is said that he has
cancer of the stomach, and was given
little hope.
In the last ten years Mr.. Hartman
has evidenced the possession of ex-
traordinary talents for railroading,
and has gained foremost place among
those who excel in this domain of
modern enterprise. We speak of the
Vanderbilts and the Goulds as the
marvels of their day, but their
achievements are puny compared to
what Hartman has done in the last
decade He has risen to lofty height
in such short time that the civilized
world recognizes his genius and takes
him at his word. He has won the
confidence alike of the conservative
and radical elements, and though
he has been in some dubious deals
he has already overcome the aversion
which they aroused.
Wall street is especially concerned
in seeing Hartman we'll. A sick
man, or worse, would sensibly de-
preciate the value of stocks, and keep
them at a standstill for some time
This would lessen business, and
would never do for the brokers.
Very generally they want a bouyant,
an advancing market for profitable
business. Hartman we'll would in
sure this; Hartman i'll, or only on
this planet for a few months, means
generalization, the loss of millions
and the ruination of hundreds who
foolishly risk all in this perilous
field of activity.

Sam Rouse, a negro said to be an
agent of Colonel James M. Smith,
the big Oglethorpe county farmer
and north Georgia politician, was ar
rested and bound over in Atlanta
several days ago charged with kid
mapping a negro who ran away from
the Smith farm. At the trial a num-
Der of negro witnesses made damag-
ing complaints and charges against
Col. Smith, to the effect that they
had been forced to work for him for
years without pay, had been treated
as convicts, and when they attempt
ed to escape were whipped unmerci-
fully and placed in chains Of course
these serious charges and sensational
newspaper reports should be received
with many grains of salt until 4
legal investigation brings out the
truth. Colonel Smith has made a
vigorous denial of them.

TILLNrAN AND pIsPENsARIEs.

Some of the newspapers have been
discussing whether the passing of the
dispensary system in South Carolina
means the passing of Senator Till
man. The famous South Carolinian
is bigger than any one question or
issue, and his popularity and success
do not depend on what may be done
about whiskey or anything else.
Wednesday at Anderson, S. c., he
addressed an audience of ten thou
sand people, and a feature of the
gathering was parade of FIVE thou
sand ladies and gentlemen mounted
on horses.
Speaking of the dispensary, The
News is more firmly convinced than
ever that it is the best solution of
the whiskey evil, if there is any So
luton at all, especially if it is under
the control of good men and con-
@aeted along right lines-not as
money making machine. Wherever
there has been rottenness and graft
in dispensaries it was not the fault
of the system, but of the men who
we're in control.

Governor Brown, after a confer
ence with Controller-GeneraI Wright,
has signed an order fixing the
state tax levy at SIS on $1,000, the
constitutional limit and the same it
has been for the past several years.
On account of the depleted condi-
ton of the states treasury the gov
ernor found that it was impossible
for him to reduce the tax rate and
pay the old debts and the new ones
recently made by the legislature in
increased appropriations.

WHEN HOKE FIRED TOBE.

Since the Big One issued his re-
cent ukase that Railroad Commits
sioner o. B. Stevens must be de-
feated in the next election the news
papers are discussing number two of
the three firing" acts that were
epochs in the late state administra-
ton. For instance this:
Hon. Hoke is a little rough
on ODE; he ought not to talk so
plain.-Milltown News.
Well, your Uncle ODE was
plain with Hoke when the then
governor asked him who would
be the next chief executive of
Georgia. ODE plainly told him
Joe Brown. Friends should al
ways talk plainly to each other.
-Waycross Herald.
This calls to mind the story
that Smith sent for Stevens DUR
ing the campaign last year and
asked him for his opinion, and
when he got it he ordered Stew
ems out of his office.
Commenting on the above the
Fitzgerald Leader says:
We have been charged with
being a Hoke Smith partisan.
But we would not be a Hoke
Smith partisan if we believed the
above quotation. We do not
believe that the governor sent
for Stevens and asked him his
opinion. We do not believe that
Stevens made the statement or
that the governor ordered him
out of his office, and we do not
approve of the methods adopted
by such papers as the Macon
Telegraph and the Waycross
Herald in fighting a man whose
politics they happen not to agree
with
Not being in the confidence of the
we do not know what
he has had to say, if anything, about
the above mentioned report. We do
know, however, that during the cam
paign it was talked about a great
deal here at Mr. Stevens home by
both the Joe Brown and the Hoke
Smith men, and believed by both to
be true. 1t is a further fact that
some people very close to Mr..
Stevens were among those who re-
peated it, and as far as The News
knows that gentleman never denied
it on any of his visits here. All of
which inclines us to the belief that
there was something in it.
But if it is not true it seems that
the gentleman whom it most con-
Germs and not the Joe Brown people
and papers would be the one to cor
rect it, and glad of an opportunity
to do so.

The News would have been pleased
had it been so the governor could

"A ITOuLI0SS man

The author of this poem is I'M

He wasn't strong on versifcation,

It's just the same with a town. 1t

One of the best ways to boost is
to boom your own business by every

IF YOU RESIGN WHO CARES?

these have not been the only factors
in your advancement. They have
helped you much or little, as the case
may be; yet what you are and what
you have you owe very largely to the
good will and the good opinion of
others. They have accepted you,
smoothed your path.
But if you were to resign would
they do the same thing over again?
Put, then, this question sharply to
yourself in all the relations of your
life. 1t is grim task, but nothing
is better for you as man than to
ask yourself this question, and an
swer it with perfect frankness:
IF resign would l be re-elected?"

From Munsey's Magazine.
Whoever you are who may read
these words this question is one that
you should ask yourself most seri-
ously:
IF I were to resign would l be re-
elected?"
This is the kind of question which
it does you good to ask and answer
with unsparing frankness. 1t is one
of the questions which make you
search your heart, look into all the
secrets of your life, and bring you
face to face with what is real-per-
haps most brutally real.
Whatever talent you may have,
whatever gifts you may possess
