Print Paper from Rice Straw.

A new raw material for the manufac. sure of print paper has been discov. cred in rice straw. and it is hoped hat this product may partly take the place of wood pulp. which is now growing scarce Rice straw has been 70 high that it was not practicable foy ordinary purposes. A machine has been invented which has . capacity of i've tons of dce straw pulp a day. Demonstrations of this machine are now being made in the rice fields of Louisiana and Texas. and if 1t proves successful the rice farmers will devote moro land to the raising of this grain

Selling Cotton Before 1t Is Made.

From the Albany Herald.
Many farmers who took advantage
of what they considered good
thing and sold their cotton in the
spring for October delivery at ten
cents a pound are now wishing they
hadn't. When in the spring and ear
! ly summer October cotton reached
! ten cents many farmers, consid-
ering this a fair price for the
staple, and fearing that the market
would decline before fall, sought
buyers and closed out all or part of
their cotton crops for future deliv-
cry. One such farmer is referred to
IN the following paragraph from the
Calhoun County Courier of the cur
rent week:
Mr.. S. B. Timmons saws he needs
a guardian, and that not only him
self but many other farmers in his
section need them. He is grieying
over the money he lost by selling his
cotton before it was made at 10
cents, while it is selling now at 1917
and IL cents. He is thoroughly con-
yinced that it is a big mistake the
farmers make in selling their cotton
ahead"
Mr.. Timmons is but one of many
farmers who sold cotton ahead of
time. AT the time they sold thew
considered ten cents a good price
so good, in fact, that they could not
afford to let the chance of getting it
pass. And if the market had gone
down Mr.. Timmons would probably
now be shaking hands with himself
and giving himself credit for being a
man of foresight and wisdom. in
stead of lamenting over what now
appears to him to have been a fool
ish act and admitting, as he is rem
resented in the foregoing as doing
that he needs a guardian.
After all, whether the farmer sells
his cotton in advance or not. he is
really a Spectator in the staple to
the extent of his own crop for he
never knows at planting time what
ne is going to get for his cotton nm
less he sells it in advance And
under these conditions the only
farmer who is really on the safe side
of the cotton proposition is the one
who produces his provision crons AT
home and thereby avoids running in
to debt for supplies. He not only
makes his cotton cheaper, but is in
position to hold it for a favorable
turn in the market.

BRYAN AND BAILEY.

Atlanta was looking forward with
great glee to a joint debate in that
city on the tariff between Hon. Will
ham Bryan and United States Sen
ator Joe Bailey. Mr.. Bailey had al
ready accepted an invitation from
the Young Mems Democratic League
Of Fulton county, and of course Mr..
Bryan would never miss an oppor-
tunity to visit the ever delightful At
lanta and talk. But he did, and the
reasons he gave are, in our opinion,
good ones. He said a debate would
tend to turn attention from the issue
% individuals, and further that a
debate between two democrats would
aecentuate the tariff differences in the
party and give the republican news
papers a chance to dwell upon demo-
cratic dissensions instead of devot-
ing their time to the contest now be-
hg waged between the progressive"
republicans and the stand-patters.
The difference between these two
distinguished democrats on the tariff
Is that Mr.. Bryan favors just as lit
tie tariff as it is possible to levy and
believes raw materials should be ad-
Enitted free of duty, while Senator
Bailey contends that if the finished
6roduct of the manufacturer is to
be protected from competition by a
tariff duty the producer of the raw
material. who supplies the man
.1facturer, should also have some of
the benefits of the tariff tax system.
: We are inclined to agree with Sem
ator Bailey in his view of this ques-
ton, but at the same time we are
convinced that Mr.. Bryan has acted
wisely in declining to debate it with
him. 1t is time for democrats to
quit fighting among themselves and
get together and try to win some
Victories in the interest of the old
time principles and policies of the
party.
Both Messrs. Bryan and Bailey
are giants of debate, and a platform
ARRAY between them would have
been an event of national interest
and drawn thousands of people to
Georgia's capital. But it is best as it
IS, and while sympathizing with At
lanta we congratulate the democratic
party

THE OLD-TIME DARBY.

The old-time darby of the south
land will soon be no more. That
community is fortunate, says a
writer in northern newspaper, that

a dozen old darkies of both sexes.
More often there will be one or two.
The old darby of Dixieland is a
darky-no, he is not a negro nor a
colored man nor-heaven save the
MARIAN Afro-American. Some
times he is called niger, " which is
term of affection, but to the white
folks" he is a ''darky,' said with a
soft accent, marking the gentle re-

EVENTS OF INTEREST.

A corn carnival will be held in
Albany on November 18th, at which
number of handsome prizes offered
by Editor Mcintosh of The Albany
Herald for the best yields of corn
grown in Southwest Georgia will be
awarded. 1t will be an event of
much interest and IMPORTANCE
| interest because it will show the pos
s1bilities of Southwest Georgia as a
corn growing section, and important
because it will stimulate interest
among the farmers in growing corn.
There will be an event of similar
nature, though not on as extensive a
scale, in Dawson on October 18th,
when Hon. John R. Mercer will nav
500 in gold as prizes for the three
best yields of corn grown on an acre
of Terrell county land. A number of
good farmers are competing for
these prizes, and the result is that
there are some very fine fields of
corn in the county. Even farmers
who did not compete for the prizes
caught the spirit and have grown
more and better corn this year than
ever before.
Men like Editor Mcintosh and Mr..
Mercer are of much value to sec
ton. They are public benefactors.

MUST APPEAR IN PERSON.

| AS the law under which the voters
of Georgia are now registering is a
new law there are many conflicting
ideas in regard to it. Everyone
should be careful not to get a mis-
taken notion as to it's requirements.
If any voter accepts as true the state
ment of the Atlanta Journal that the
payment of his taxes will 'automati-
cally'' register him he will wake up
on election day to the fact that he
will not be permitted to vote
If any of those who accept that
Interpretation of the law go in per-
son to the tax collector, get a re-
ceipt for taxes and then walk out, ex-
pecting that official to "automati-
cally' register them, they will wake
up to the fact on election day that
they cannot vote.
The Macon Telegraph. which has
very effectually exposed the danger
and folly of this alleged automatic
registration, points out that the
law does not even make it the
duty of the collector to mention the
subject of registration at all to the
man who calls to pay his taxes. The
only mandatory thing is that the col
lector shall" at a certain time
"close" the registration book. But
there are a lot of shall nots" in
the law aimed at the citizen to make
it difficult to register.
Not only shall the collector not
register a person automatically, or
in any other way, except such per-
son" as shall" appear before him
and actually make such oath" vol
UNFAIRLY, but if the collector does so
he may be put in jail Section 2 of
the law reads as follows:
Section 2. Be it further en-
acted, That the tax collector
shall in no instance permit a
PCi0Oh W o1Su the voters DOCK

less such person shall have act
ually made oath before him

No man can be registered unless.
he appears in person before the tax
collector six months before the cleo
ton and actually" makes oath that
he is entitled under the law to reg

tory demanded of the collector, ex-
cept as in the old law, to see that
the citizen is registered who first
actually takes the oath and
signs the book. The citizen reg
listers himself and he must register
in person. He cannot be registered
