''The next and perhaps the last State
to be admitted to the Union will be
Alaska says Mr.. James Wickersham,
delegate to Congress from Alaska. In
his enthusiasm he further says: Moth
ing less than the dissolution Of the Ma
ton will prevent the organization Of the
State Of Alaska"
Alaska deserves statehood. She has
more gold than California and Colo
RADIO, more copper than Montana and
Arizona, more coal than Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Ohio, and more fish
than all other American waters COM
bined. Alaska has better climate and
greater agricultural capacity than Nor
way, Sweden and Finland combined.
Here rich and fertile valleys are cap
able of supporting much larger popu-
Iation than that of the three countries
named. If Alask2's population and
area, her resources and development
and advancement be compared with
those of earlier territories and with
many of the States, it will be proven
that this great territory is now ready
for statehood. Alaska now has no per
sons resident within her borders to each
1000 square miles of area. Alaska has
now more school children in actual at
tendance in public schools within her
borders than Mississippi, Indiana, Mich
igan, Dakota or the great territory
northwest of the Ohio river had white
settlers when they were each organized
into a territory and given an elective
legislative assembly.
The trade of Alaska is immense and
it is right at hand and can not be taken
away. No other nation can compete for
il. Instead of a fleet it only asks for
lighthouses on its coast, roads to the
interior and a friendly grasp of an out-
stretched hand
An important feature of Alaskan COM
merce is the use of American vessels
During the past year 1856 vessels entered
Alaskan ports, and of this number 418
were American. There are 80 American
vessels regalurly employed in the Alas
kan trade, and every dollar they earn
stays in the United States. Alaska's to-
tai trade for the year was $6o,31o786.

What language these people spoke no

makers, cultivated corn, beans and mel,

wanted the gold and | sought it,
| scrabbled and mucked like a slave,
Was it famine or scurvy-I fought it,
| hurled my youth into grave.
| wanted the gold, and | got it
Came out with fortune last fall,
Yet sometimes life's not what | thought
it,
And sometimes the gold isn't all.
mol There's the land (have you seen
it?)
It's the cussedest land that know,
From the big dizzy mountains that
screen it
To the deep, death-like valley below.
Some say God was tired when he made
it,
Some say its fine land TO shun;
Maybe-but there's some as would trade
For no land on earth-and I'm one.
The stumner--no sWeeter was ever,
The sunshiny woods all athrill,
The grayling aleap in the river,
The bighorn asleep on the hill.
The strong life that never knows har
ness,
The wilds where the caribou call,
The freshness, the freedom, the fairness,
o God, how I'm stuck on it alll
There's a land where the mountains are
nameless,
And the rivers all run-God knows
where;
There are lives that are erring and aim
less,
And deaths that just hang by hair;
There are hardships that nobody reck-
ons;
Tire are valleys unpeopled and still,
There's land-oh, it beckons and
beckons,
And | want to go back-and I will.
There's gold, and it's haunting and
haunting,
It's Turing me on as of old;
Yet it isn't the gold that I'm wanting
: So much as just finding the gold.
Its the great, big, broad land way tip
yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease,
It's the beauty that fills me with wonder,
It's the silence that fills me with peace,

A little Albany boy fell out of

an hour, and is still alive though
unconscious.
Little Earl Daniel, the four-year-
old son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas

ing home with his mother and grand
father and four other children of the
family from a visit to north Georgia.
They changed cars at Americas.
where they boarded the Seminole
Limited for Albany About two
miles north of Leesburg the little
boy fell out of the window. Just
how the accident happened no one
knew. He was sitting in the chair
car beside his grandfather, who was
asleep, The grandfather awoke just
IS the boy was disappearing through
the window, and made a grab for
him but missed.
The grandfather pulled the sig
nal cord, and the train slowed up,
but the wrong signal was given and
the train did not stop until the con-
ductOr was found. The train did not
stop until it had gone two or three
miles past the point where the &C
cident occurred. 1t then went back
and the unconscious form of the boy
was found in a ditch.
The boy was brought on to AL
bany, and DR.. A. H. Hilsman met
the train. After an examination it
was found that not a bone was
broken, though conclusion of the
brain was indicated The skull was
not fractured or injured in any way,
but the long-continued state of I'M
consciousness causes fear of grave
results. The hope is entertained,
however, that the little one will re-
cover.
Mr.. Daniel, the boys father, is
superintendent of the Planters Oil

Providing a Presentation For City of

BY his Excellency, Joseph NJ. Brown,

Atlanta, Ca. August 8, 1910
Whereas, the General Assembly, at

He is THE FARMERS FRIEND
UNCLE ODE" THEIR ONLY REP
RESENTATIVE ON COMMISSION
McDuffie County Paper Gives the
Terrell County Candidate For
Reelection a Boost.

The McDuffie Progress in it's last
issue said:
There are five members of the
railroad commission of Georgia.
Three of them are lawyers, one of
them is a railroad man and one of
them is farmer-your Uncle ODE"
B. Stevens OF Terrell county. Now,
there is another lawyer up at Law
renceville who wants to get on the
railroad commission, and under the
ruling OF the chairman of the state
democratic executive committee he
was compelled to select the member
of the present commission against
whom he would make the race, and
Of course he selected the only farm
err on the commission, your "Uncle
Obe'' Stevens
Now, the Progress does not wish
to go on record as being opposed to
lawyers holding Office. We really
believe as a general proposition they
make good officials But in this case
it looks to us as if the commission
already has enough of that class of
our fellow citizens. The farmers are
the backbone of the state of Georgia,
and are directly interested in the
question of transportation and sure
ly it is nothing but right that they
should have one member of the rail
road commission
The LawrencevITfe lawyer may be
a good man and we do not doubt
that he is, but we believe that even
the legal fraternity will recognize
the fact that at least one member
of the railroad commission should
be a farmer and cast their votes ac-
cordingIy. Three out of five is
enough for the lawyers. Surely they
do not want the whole cheese!
We also wish to say that we have
known Hon. o. B. Stevens for a long
time, and believe him to be an HON
est and upright man. When it comes
to a question of right or wrong he
will do what he believes to be right.
That is what the people of Georgia
want the railroad commission to do.
