BIG LOSS IN
DAMAGE TO THE OATS
MANY Thousands of Bush
els Ruined.

Don't know a thing about politics;
don't know who will be governor.
don't ask me about the senatorial
race; don't ask me about anything
until I get out of the grass, said
Farmer J. A. IIixon yesterday when
asked his views concerning the polit-
ical situation here generally
And, jumping into his big automo-
bile, the genial urbane judge made q
muddy streak back to his farm in the
18th district, where the hay is grow
ing.
Il have probably three thousand
bushels fire oats still shocked up in
the field, where they have been rain
ed upon since l cut them the last of
May, and I am afraid that | will lose
many of them.
1T has rained every day since, and
we farmers are up against it real
hard" Judge Hixon continued.
And what he said of conditions up
on his own fine farm is true all over
the county Farmers were caught by
the rainy season just as the oat crop
was cut and ere the oats could be
housed the shocks in the fields were
soaked.
Probably fifty thousand bushels are
thus on the ground in the fields here,
and probably the greater part of the
crop-the finest oat crop ever produe-
ed here-will thus be ruined. They
cannot be housed until thoroughly
dry, and it rained almost every day
during June.
Judge Hixon will doubtless throw
some light on the political horizon
wien his oats are put away and the
grassy cotton fields are clean again.

TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA:

Il hereby announce my candidacy
for the office of state treasurer, sub
ject to the white democratic primary
selected by the state democratic exec
utive committee
In making this announcement | feel
that it is appropriate for me to say
that my service for seven years in
both branches of the Georgia legisla-
ture, during which time many of the
present laws relating to banks and
banking were enacted, and my service
at the same time on the house COM
mittee on banks and banking, by
which these laws were considered has
given me a clear insight into the Geor-
gia laws concerning banking and fl
nance
In addition to the foregoing eXpe-
rience, | have been, for fifteen years,
president of the Elberton Loan and
Savings Bank, in which capacity may
say | have gained wide political eX-
perience concerning the operation of
these laws; and, as a result of which
| am in position to recommend certain
improvements in the present laws
which will better safeguard the inter-
ests of the depositors in Georgia's
state banks.
IF elected to this important posi-
ton, l shall give my every effort to
the faithful discharge of it's duties, to
assist me in which | shall secure the
services of trained, expert and capa-
BILE assistants.
81 respectfully request the favorable
consideration of the democratic vot-
ers Of the state.

When Women Travel.

KT is now no novelty to see women
 raveling alone, though not many years n ago few of them really took long trips without escorts. The modern business woman must make her trips just the same as the business man. aud there are certain rules of procedure that she must adhere to.
 One of the first things for q woman to do when she Is going to make trip Of any length is to see that her baggage Is fully attended to. This will save much trouble in the long run. Another thing that should be remembered Is that 1t does not pny to economize in travelling. The best Is none too good for the woman who travels. Comfort and convenience come first, and 1t makes little difference what they cost The parlor car is much better than the common day coach and the con veniences pay for the extra charge. The berth, parlor car or staterOOm should be engaged just as soon us possible in order that the best selection can be made.
 The clothes to be taken will depend on the length of the journey and the time spent at the destination. When woman Is on the train one night 1t Is not neces- sary to undress entirely. The dress, pet ticoats and corsets should be removed and the porter supplies a paper bag in which these are placed.
 Riding backward In train Is sometimes wise and restful. The landscape slides away instead of meeting the eyes.
 half-hour before retiring time the porter can be asked to make up the berth. All parlor cars are equipped with electric lights in the berth, which can be turned on or off at the pleasure of the occupant. shelf at the side of the berth will hold the hat. coat. etc, while the little swung hammock will give resting place for the otber things. The skirt should be pinned to the curtains.
 The shades of the berth should always be pulled down as the train stops in light ed stations at many places along the route.
 It is wise to be ready to leave the train a little while before It arrives at it's des- tination. The porter comes fin quite handy at this portion of the trip, brushing or the passengers and taking care that they get Om with their baggage all right.

In position and in brains-and he didn't enthuse over hts son going out on the street and mixing with the newsies. But he was also wise The boy was persistent The father thought 1t all over and finally told him he might try. He gave him 5O cents capital with which to begin his first Dusl ness venture. The lad was delighted.

 Fortunately, the three ladies were seat ed in the bottom of the boat and escaped injury. Homer-dear managed to How bridge" fin time to escape it. too. So no one was injured But-and the but Is a big one, too-he momentarily lost control of the tlller. Naturally the boat luffed off. dancing around helter-skelter like cork on the waves.

 Mir. J. did his best, but the sbriek of Mrs. Thompson and the Gwendoline dam se completely unnerved him. Moreover, Mrs. J. arose with a purpose.
 Picking her way quickly from the bow to the stern. she seized the tiller.

 There was nothing else to it-Mr. J. simply had to obey.
 Mrs. J. grasped the tiller with a prac- tised hand.
 In about two shakes of a lambs tall she had righted the craft and brought It about.
