Campaign TAX.

The overwhelming success Of
Hoke Smith in 1906 coupled with
the defeat Of his antient enemy,
turned his head He went into Of
fee thinking the world was his,
tied with unbreakable chains and q
down hill pull.
! His assumptions Of power was
marked by royal parade, and
his chief lieutenant stood at hi
right hand bearing the crown. He
took possession Of the state govern
ment with all that dignity Of an au-
ltocrat. His smile was august
His frown terrible He not only
wanted to run the executive branch
of the government, he proposed
be the whole thing. He assumed
Ito dictate to the legislature, in Or
der to carry out his policies, most
Iof which were Of the most radical
tendency, and many Of them were
at least doubtful propriety. Neye
theless, with Mr.. Smith it was rule
lorruin, and it seems that he got a
dose Of both before he got through.
He fired men from office with
dispatch and nonchalance. He
waved aside his counselors with a
magnificent gesture. Overcome by
his sudden possession Of arbitrary
lpower he forgot that day Of reck-
coming might omeand it came.
He was arrogant, overbearing,
Impatient Of restraint His actions
created distrust in the minds Of con-
sentative business men, who saw
the danger and damage that might
result from the explanation Of such
radical tendencies. At the next
election they went to work to defeat
him, and they succeeded. It. was a
hard task, the governor had inn
!, pressed many people with his polit-
lical strength-many weak ones
feared his power, others were in
spired with fear Of the result, should
they oppose him.
i Yet in spite Of these fears, and in
spite Of the strong political machine
\ that had been built up in Georgia
Iby Hoke Smith and his adherents,
elements that had been gathered in
from many directions and seldom
/ together with consumate skill the
untiring energy of the opposition
aided by that class Of business men
Ewho feared the result Of his radical
political policies, finally succeeding
lin overcoming him. Although
somewhat tanned by his defeat, it is
not believed that there would be
any appreciable change in his pol
icies, if he should be again elected
to the office of governor Of Georgia.
1t is probable that he would begin
where he left off, and again endeav-
OF to foist upon the people Of the
state such of his former policies as
he had failed to have engrafted into
the judicial system Of the state.
The same reason why Mr.. Smith
should not be elected governor Of
Georgia exists today as existed in
1908. He boasts that he has not
changed one whit, in his political
or economic ideas.
Governor Brown has done well
especially taking into consideration
/ the fact that he had hostile legis-
lature. His has been a safe adj
ministration and the time prosper
Gus. There is no reason why he
should not be given another term,
and we believe the people Of Geor-
gia will take the same view Of the
matter. Rome Tribune.

TIoy WORK,
THE SELECTION or COTTON SEED ToG
SOUTHERN FARMS.

For the amount Of labor involed
no work upon the farm pays better
than seed selection. Within q seed
Is the minute germ that has all the
characteristics Of the preceding gen
erations Of that species, with the
notifications which the previous
culture, soil, climate, and selection
have given it, and these il transmits
to the future plants. In addition,
the seed contains little food to
help the germ until the plant can
become established in the soil.
While the types in seed are per-
sistent along general lines, within
their limits they admit Of great
modification by selection and Gull
tivation. In cotton the size Of the
boil, the length and quality Of lint,
the time Of maturity, the tendency

height and form Of stalks, and 9TH

IMPROVEMENT OF COTTON BY SEED
SELECTION.
Careless cotton farming and gin
run seed are responsible for lot Of
short cotton crops. There is but
little pure-hrcd seed planted, and
Che product Of that little generally
becomes more or less mixed in the
field and at the gin.
Five points should be carefully
noted In cotton-seed improvement:
Type, variety, selection, ginning,
and storing. A farmer should de-
termine the type Of cotton he wants
10 produce. He can IN the end
produce what he wants If he studies
and works for it. BY type" is
meant the kind Of stalks, boil, lint,
etc. The type generally preferred
Is strong, short, vigorous stalk,
with plenty offruit limbs on the low
cr half; fruit limbs short iointed
but extending to the outer border Of
the plant and fruiting to the end;
large bolIs, storm resisting; heavy
percentage Of lint; if largc-boll cot
ton, at least / 1-Sinches and strong;
plant hardy, early and prolific.
CiUUSING THE NAhlEAh
Plant seed Of the variety that
produces cotton as near the type
you want as possible. It will not
be exactly your ideal, but If good
seed and Of the right variety it viii
come near il. Plant this seed on a
seperate tract Of land, or plat 50 it
will not become mixed by insects.
Every FARMER needs a seed plat just

male if he is going to improve his
stock. Thin and cultivate this plat
