LAMBERT WALKER A
PROGRESSIVE FIRM
Newly Organized Hardware Film
forging TO The Front by Big
Increase N Business.

The great demand for modern
farming implements and a COM
plete assortment of hardwarel
and builders materials, interest
ed a number Of progressive citi-
zens and new hardware firm,
known as the Worsham-Walker
Hardware Company, was incor-

The hardware stock of Alves &
Hickman was purchased and the
new firm began business Sep
TENDER |, 1906. A few months
later the firm removed into the

vice-prcsidcnt, and James L.
Lambert. Jr., secretary and
treasurer.
The new firm increased its
business from the very begin
ming, and in January, 1908 en-
tered the wholesale business. 1t
has about twenty-five agents in
this section of the state. Mari

POOR MAN-ON-FOOT.

From the Emporia Gazette
In few years aerOplanes will be
as common as automobiles are now,
and it is obvious that the man-On-
foot will have little show. The auto
scorcher will be harmless individ-
ual as compared with the speed ma
MAC overhead A man who will take
to aeroplaning must be naturally
reckless to begin with, and his reck-
lessness will increase with each
flight. His boilers will burst, and
his engines will fly to pieces, and
there will be showers of hardware,
and big iron castings will hit the
man-On-foot and knock him into the
ground up to his shoulder blades.
Every time he walks around a block
falling monkey wrench or claw
hammer will dot him on the head,
and make him sick and weary.
Another prospective evil is the in
crease of insurance agents. There
will be aerOplane insurance, which
will enable you to provide for your
widow and children in case an avia-
tor falls on you and squashes you
Insurance agents of various kinds
are SO thick now that it is impossible
to avoid them, and any scheme that
threatens to swell their ranks should
be denounced by press and pulpit

From the Albany Herald.
Hon. o. B. Stevens is the only
farmer on the railroad commits
sion, and is the only one of the
commissioners who has opposi-
ton. Why is it desired that no
farmer be left on the board?-
Dublin COurier-Dispatch.
1t isn't desired. Furthermore. it
isn't going to be. There is about as
much likelihood that Commissioner
Stevens will be defeated as there is
that both former Governor Smith and
Governor Brown will be elected He
is pre-eminently the peoples man
on the railroad commission, and the
people will see to it that he stays
there. There is not wanting evidence
that the gentleman who selected
Uncle ODE" as the logical man to
run against is beginning to get a
line on the true state of affairs, now
that the campaign has begun to take
form.

WANT MORE TAX MONEY.

The senate has been debating for
several days a bill to provide for
state and county tax boards, some
thing on the order of that monu-
mental farce of several years ago-a
board of tax equalizers in each coun-
ty who met in a room somewhere,
looked over the tax books and as
sessed property they had never seen.
Senator McCurry characterizes the
pending measure as a bill to- Gre
ate little all-powerful political
Sanhedrin in every county in the
state. 1t will, he says. eff passed
raise more hell in Georgia than any
measure in recent years.
The News predicts that if it be-
comes law the net result will be
the payment of per diems to the
members of the various boards, and
that, like the law establishing equal
izing boards, it will be repealed at
the first session of the legislature
that convenes after it has been put
in operation.

VOTING FOR LEGISLATORS.

No matter how democrats differ as
to the merits of the policies of gu
bernatorial candidates, no matter
how men are enthused by their 10y
atty to friends who aspire to state
or district offices, all good citizens
ought to have a common idea as to
legislative candidates (for both the
lower and the upper house,, and that
is to try and elect the best men with
out reference to any consideration
save the public good.
1t is deplorable and it is discred-
liable to US as a people that in Sc
lecting men to make our laws the
prevailing sentiment is often ex-
pressed: 81 want the man who will
do the least harm" A man who is
likely to be in any measure harmful
ought not to be sent to Atlanta to
make laws. A legislator who is in
competent, a legislator who is not
patriotic enough to put the public
good foremost, can do harm to
people.
In choosing between both legisla-
tive and senatorial candidates the cit
izen who wants to make his vote
count for the good of Georgia ought
to be conscientious and use his best
judgment to select the men who he
believes are most worthy and compe
tent. Personal consideration and
aHIiations ought to be put aside in
making a choice. Better vote for a
man with whom your relations are
strained if you have reason to be-
lieve he will be more useful or re-
liable than a man you are intimate
or friendly with.
However democrats may differ as
to candidates in general all ought to
stand on common ground, have a
common idea, in voting for legisla-
tors. The idea should be to get the
most worthy, the most reliable man.

lynched by the legislature, has writ
ten a letter giving his reasons for
the solar pleXus blow he landed on

sole purpose of said POT Rates. "
an offspring of the Atlanta freight

of Atlanta at the expense of the
business interests of other cities and

MIR. WATSON AT THOMSON.

Four thousand people from
throughout the Tenth congressional
district gathered at Thomson Sat
urday to hear the speech of Hon.
Thomas E. Watson, and intense in
terest and wild enthusiasm on the
part of the great throng as the re-
cent fiery convert to the democratic
party shelled the woods with his old
time eloquence is reported in their
accounts of the meeting by all of
the daily papers except the Atlanta
Journal. That paper says there
was disappointment and Indignation
among the people at what is claimed
was a ruse of Mr.. Watson to get a
hearing for Messrs. Eve and Evans,
the opponents of Congressman Hard
wick, who were present and made
speeches.
Contrary to the expectation of
some he did not announce himself
a candidate for congress, but Sc
verely denounced Mr. Hardwick, and
urged that a decent man" be sent
to represent the district at Wash
ington Mr.. Watson spoke two hours
and a half in the forenoon and then
took out" for dinner, concluding
his speech in the afternoon.
1t is a tribute to the brilliance OF
the man that despite his many va
carries and childish performances OF
late the occasion of his appearance
in public speech attracted so many
people, and secured for him an old
fashioned popular political audience

1T ALL DEPENDS.

The Nashville Herald says:
'Single-shotting is all right if
people would not abuse it,
However, we do not believe a
voter should be compelled to
vote for any candidate for whom
he does not care to vote. Al
bany Herald.
Notwithstanding that two or three
Georgia newspapers have, so to speak,
shouted denunciation of the anti
single-shot rule of the present State
Democratic Executive Committee
(known as a Joe Brown committee)
until they are red in the face the
unfairness of the single-shot vote is
recognized by both factions of the
party.
AS previously stated in The News,
the action of the present committee
was not without precedent. The
State Executive Committee of 1906,
which was known as a Hoke Smith
committee and of which Judge A.
L. Miller was the chairman, was real
ly the author of the anti-single-shot
rule. Among the resolutions adopt
ed by that committee for governing
the primary that year was the fol-
lowing:
Be it further resolved, That
the ticket to be voted at said
election shall contain the names
of all candidates for said three
offices (court of appeals), and
no ticket shall be counted by
the managers of the election if
either more or less than three
candidates are voted for, the
intention of this resolution be-
ing to prevent single-shotting of
candidates"
SO whether the anti-single-shot
rule is right or wrong, in the eyes
of some, all depends on who adopts
it. For The News part we are yet
to be convinced but that both COM
mittees did right.

Gives Country Papers the Credit.

From the Savannah News.
Our Atlanta correspondence, not
ing the greater activity in the leg
islature and the tendency in that
body towards economy, says: There
is little doubt chat criticisms by the
press of the state of inattention to
business on the part of the session
has had much to do with squirting
it along this line" And much of
the credit for this good work is to
be accorded to the country news
papers. They are keeping close tab
on the members from their respective
districts and telling the people just
what those members are doing, or
not doing. When the legislator finds
his home paper watching him, and
not only that, but telling on him,
the legislator is pretty apt to reach
the conclusion that it is up to him
to walk chalk line The country
newspapers in Georgia have quit tag
ging on the coattails of politicians,
as some of them used to do. They
are about as outspoken and straight
forward newspapers as are to be
found anywhere.

ANOTHER NEGLECTED OPPOR-
TTNTTY

| TJNITY.
While standing in a field of one
of Terrell county's good farmers one
day last week a gentleman from New
York state noticed little green bunch
| es of something growing in the mid
die of the corn rows, and inquired
what it was. Upon being told that
it was the grOundpea he wanted
further information, and asked if it
was the peanut or pindar that is
parched and sold in such palatable
and tempting forms at confection
stands, and how many could be
grown on an acre of land. When
told that a yield of 200 bushels an
acre could be expected under proper
attention and cultivation he ex-
pressed surprise at not seeing big
fields of groundpeas instead of cot
ton everywhere. There's a fortune
in your land if you will grow pea
nuts" he said.
There is something to think about
in what this northern man said to
the Terrell county farmer. The per-
son who buys nickels worth of pea
nuts to MUNICH at the ball game,
or when he feels a desire for some
thing between meals, or to gladden.
the hearts of the kiddies at home
scarcely realizes that he has con-
tributed to an industry that last year
farmed $1,0OO,OOO crop, and which,
when placed on the market in va
rious forms, reached the enormous
sum of $4,000, 900. But it is
fact.
Although by far the greater part
of the crop is consumed from the
peanut stands there are thousands of
bushels that go to the fattening of
hogs and the feeding of poultry,
while the vines, cured as hay, feed
thousands of head of cattle, and even
old Mother Earth comes in for her
share, the roots of the plant furnish
= nitrogen to it from the air.
AS a result of all this scientists
claim that the peanut is the only food
staple which will at once nourish
man, beast, bird, and field. 1t is the
most nutritious of the entire nut
family, containing glucose and car
bohydrates, and being rich in tissue
and building qualities.
, And, lastly, there is the extreme
cheapness of the product, for in the
matter of economy the peanut stands
supreme. 1t averages about $50
to a pound at cost of 10 cents, the
edible portion is rs, the waste PA,
and the amount of fat is placed at
so per cent. These are remarkable
figures when one stops to consider
them, and are brought out more
clearly when compared with the
small Texas pecan, it's nearest com
petitor, which sells for over a third
more, averages but PIG to pound,
has waste of 67.S per cent, edible
part, but 1872, and contains IS per
cent. fat
During the last five years the
growing of groundpeas has become an
established industry. Fiye-sixths of
the present crop is grown in Vir-
| ginia, and nearly all of the Southern
states contribute to the remainder.
