A BEAUTIFUL EPlTAPH

A lonely and half-starved tramp was
looking out for some place in which he
could possibly get nights lodging and
something to eat when he saw, not far
away, a man standing in front of
large house near the road. Approaching
him, he said: "Can 1 get place to
stay all night, and get bite for sup
per and breakfast?"
Have you any money!"
mo sir: but / am weary and tired;
please take me in"
mo: it takes money to live here"
"Well." said the tramp, 81 have no
money. but | am somewhat of a poet,
and if you will take me in, give me my
supper, bed and breakfast, Ill write
you an epitaph."
IAN epitaph! What's that?'

them to make them points.
The finals in the consolation doubles
between Kobbe and Weller and Bacon
and Young was won by the latter team
by a score of Ga. 6-2, 6-2.
Nearly two thousand spectators
watched the days play, and the crowd
was more of a southern gathering than
the Mt. Washington galleries. Miss
Sutton was roundly applauded through
out her matches and the Bundy-Hen-
drick team was supported heartily. 1t
was Southern California day in tennis
circles and banner one at that. Here's
to the success of the Bundy- -Hendrick
team when they journey eastward, and
the eastern cracks may look to their
laurels when the Southern Californians
come against them.

The women's doubles, played after

forth some fine exhibitions in the

HOKE'S CHANGE OF PROGRAM.
(Valdosta Times.)

Wien Governor Smith first made his
announcement for Governor, his chief
bugler in Atlanta gave forth the an.
nouncement that Mr.. Smith would con
fine himself to writing letters and to
carrying on a campaign from his head
quarters. He would make no address
IS except one or two educational ad
dresses under old invitations. An APP
ology was even made ecause he was
going to Dawson and to Monroe, the
people being assured that the invita-
ton for these speeches had been ac-
cepted several weeks before Mr.. Smith
decided to become a candidate
The Times said at that time that this
program was liable to change after
Governor Brown had Writ a card" It
changed even sooner than we expected
At first, the Waycross speech was to
be a declaration of principles but the
| speaker had the collie so he could not
| deliver that address, but had it printed
| just the same. Then it was decided
that speaking should be held in At
Ianta at which these issues and prin-
ciples should he qualified The Atlanta
speaking took place in due course of
time and now comes the statement that
| speeches are to be made at Triton. VI
emma, Macon, Augusta and various
other places before the campaign ends.
1t all goes 10 show that Governor
Smith is very vacillating man. When
he started at tie beginning of his cam
paign that he was not going to make
many speeches, if he had been a sim
cere and consistent man. he would
have stood by what he then said
When Governor Brown says a thing he
means it and there is not power
enough on either side of the line to
shake him from it. The fact of the
business is, that when Governor
Brown writes few lines, he puts the
opposition to making a noise in the es
fort to kill the effect of what he says.
1t will take lot of speech-making
and oratory to get around the solid
shot which the Governor turned loose
in his card to tie people day before
yesterday.
There is nothing which indicates the
panicky state in which Mr. Smith and
his followers lave been put by Mr..
Browns letter more than the appeals
that are coming to him from all seq
tons, to come to the rescue" and
with the eagerness with which, he is
trying to respond.

ASSURANCE OF GOOD CROPS.

Hitherto the periodicals that have
published crop reports have cen very
indefinite in summing up the crop
situation, but the most recent reports
give assurances OF good crops. Du-
bious and uncertain terms have been
discarded, and the crop reports now
promise good things for the farmers
and for everybody else.
III the issue of Bradstreets FIR last
Saturday, the crop situation is Iwelt
on at length, and the crop reports are
termed more favorable than at any
previous date this year. Weather
conditions" continues the report, have
been propitious in practically every
section and some of the bad effects of
earlier unfavorable weather have been
repaired, though most of the later
sown crops are behind those of a year
ago."
Reference is made in the report to
the corn crop, whicb has especially
gained ground with more favorable
weather. A record crop of corn in the
South is predicted. A general feel
ing Of optimism with regard to the
cotton crop has been reported to
Bradstreet's from tie Southwestern
states. The tone of the reports as a
whole are far more encouraging than
at any time during the summer, and
in fact, hitherto there have been no
adequately definite assurances in the
reports.
This should be matter Of general
encouragement to the farmers of the
state. Sixteen-cent cotton has been
predicted for this fall, and some en-
thusiastic prophets have even pre-
dicted that cotton will go as high as
twenty cents per pound 1t is difficult
to tell about these forecasts furtha
than to feel assured that there will
be a pretty good crop of cotton and
that it will bring satisfactory price
That is sufficient cause for rejoicing

~ AfPEAh WORTH HEEDts.i.

the discussion before the redsht
session OF the general assembly on the
bill to license the carriers OF concealed
weapons has already borne good fruit.
The Farmers Union News, the official
organ of the Union. has come out il. a
vigorous editorial demand for the
farmers Of the state to cooperate in
the enforcement of the law with ref
erence to carrying concealed weapons.
The editorial utterance of the Farm
ers' Union News is at once sane ana
timely. The farmers of the state can
do much toward correcting the ten
dency toward violating this law. which
is now so prevalent among all classes.
The action of the News in coming out
in frank and earnest demand for the
farmers of the state to cooperate in
the enforcement of the law should car
ry much weight with it. The following
is the gist of the appeal made by the
Farmers Union News:
The Georgia farmers should take 9
hand in demanding the enforcement of
the law in reference to pistol toting
There is absolutely no excuse for car
rying a pistol in this enlightened age
and in countries where people claim
to be civilized. The carrying of a
pistol is an evidence of coarseness and
should not be INDUCED in by people
who consider themselves honorable
and respectable and belonging to the
best class of citizenship. Some boys
carry pistol because they think it Ii
smart, but they should know that II
denotes a degree of idocy and barbar-
ism. The lower type of citizens think
OF destroying life, the higher type ot
preserving it, whether it be that of
man, bird or beast. The man who de-
Ponds on brute force, and for that
reason carries a pistol, admits his
mental weakness. The man with fine
mind will not stoop to the level of the
brute. Let the farmers everywhere
take hold and help stop this nefarious
practice so prevalent among our Cit
liens. Educate them to look upon lie
as too sacred to be ended, or harmed,
by the pulling of a trigger and the
flash of pistol in some moment Of
uncontrolled anger"
The inherent cowardliness of the
ma who insists on going around all the
time with pistol in his pocket, is too
manifest to deserve mention other
than that of condemnation. In these
columns heretofore, reference has
teen made to the deplorable conditions
as regards the violating of the state
law concerning the carrying of con-
cealed weapons and also to the COM
ment OF Judge Maddox, of Rome, con-
corning these conditions. NO other
/ CLASS of people can do more toward
correcting this evil than the farmers
Of the state, because the practice has
been more prevalent in the country
than in the city on account of the lack
Of police protection. Georgia farmers
are going to cooperate in this partic-
ular, for the farmers of the state are
the mast peaceful and law4abiding
citizens Of the commonwealth. TIE
filling of the soil is pursuit that calls
for the exercise of the most conserva-
tive and constructive forces of a mans
soul and energy. The appeal made by
the Farmers Union News will not
only have effect with the farmers but
with all the people.

THE PASTEURIZED KISS.

The latest scientific fad
Whic. seems to me outrageous
Puts micrObe germs on ruby lips
And makes a kiss contagious.
1t hardly seems the proper thing
To put love on half-raJion,
Or take the soul from out the kiss
BY filtered OSCILLATION.

Yer was one and twenty,
And when il came to kissing games
We liked 'em good and plenty.
All kinds of people played the same,
Married. widowed, misses.
But no enc fought Of asking them
To steTilize their kisses.
Although I'm not prepared to say
To fear / am stranger,
Yet certainly an added charm
Goes with the spice of danger.
So when I come to Hary's lips
