ceorqIa,s Wealth in Pecans.

A dispatch from Albany published re-
Gently In the Constitution indicated
that within the last four months $4,000
acres Of pecan lands had been sold in
and around Dougherty county.
Preparations are under way for
planting this tremendous area in the
toothsome nut that promises so large
revenue to Georgia.
The problem regarding this especial
industry has lately changed from one
of selling nature to one of getting
lands to sell.
At present, 1t is said. there is an
actual famine of pecan lands readily
available.
To be sure there are still large un.
occupied tracts in the pecan belt, but
the owners foresee the possibilities Of
tremendous development and are In no
hurry to rush their holdings on the
market
Within only comparatively recent
years has the country awakened to
Georgia's potentialities with regard to
pecans.
Now 1t is common knowledge among
investors that orchards properly tend
ed-and the expense Of so doing is
small return dividends beside which
many other crops are negligible.
It Is logical that in course Of time
the pecan will become one of the
states best revenue producers.
The pecan, moreover, is only one
item. Georgia has plenty more such at
her back to inspire the activities of the
Greater Georgia association and other
organizations engaged In the miSsion
of development. Atlanta Constitution

battle that these three men and this

fifty miles to the locality that was said
to conceal the man for whom they
were searching. At length they came
upon the bat guano cave that was dis
covered short time ago by Jesse
Plowman, a 12-year-old boy. Stewart
and his companions thought they
would explore the cave. They made
their way some distance into the In

HIS FIRST VOTE.

The young man approaching the
ballot box for the first time is assuming
a great responsibility. He is begin
ming his political life and as he begins
he is likely to continue. The consider
atoms which carry a young man into a
party usually keep him in it until some
upheaval of more than ordinary moment
cast him out. And this notwlthstand-
ing the fact that a very great many first
voters affiliate with a party merely be-
cause their fathers belong to that party
or drift into it without giving consider
alton to the underlying principles. The
young voter owes himself and his
country the duty of carefully consider
ing the issues at stake before he gives
his allegiance TO any party, to study
their principles and determine which of
the great parties, in his estimation, IS
the better friend to the people. For
his own sake and the future welfare
of the country he must use his best
Judgment and strive to be on the side
of right.
The voter should also in justice to
himself resolve than he will never be so
blinded by partisanship, never so bound
by party ties that he could fail to con-
slider the welfare of his country as far
above party solidarity or party success.
Grave questions are bound to arise and
often the independent, patriotic citizen
will conclude that his party is wrong IN
its attitude toward some measure or IN
its support of some man or set of men.
Then it is his duty as a parasitic citizen
to rebuke his party for beng wrong. If
the party whose general principal appeal
to him should in a given locality be
dominated by a gang of corrupt
politicians he should remember that no
vote with the gang" is really to inJure
his party although thereby a victory
might be won, not by party but in the
party anne

PROMISED DEViNE A JOB

During the recent primary campaign,
the progressive republican committee,
of which Mr.. j. M. Devine was chair
man, s~trenuously opposed the nomi-
NATHAN of Mr.. C. \. Johnson as the re-
publican candidate for governor and
gave many reasons for such opposition
But johnson won aud Mr.. Devine has
taken the stump for him. Many
independent voters have wondered what
could haye induced Mr.. Devine to be-
como so anxious for the election of the
man lately branded unfit to be governor
of the state.
Now the reason FIR his anxiety has
been discovered.
Mr.. johnson has promised Mr.. Devine
that, if be is elected governor, he will
appoint MI. Devine president of the
normal school to be established at Minot
In other words Mr.. Devine's support
was bought with the promise of a job
If he is really a progressive republican
he was sincere in his opposition to John
son at the primary election and is in
sincere now. The promise of a job may
change his allegiance but it does no
make wrong right. The fact that he
has been promised a job explains som
things.

Supporters of G. A. johnson are wear

scription, "Vote for the Normal School,"
To the voter who stops to think this big
red button is a danger signal. The
citizens of North Dakota have no bust
ness voting for a normal school or any
other single institution. The patriotic
voter will cast his ballot in the interest
of the whole state and not for the benefit
of a particular locality. Vote for John
Burke and he will give the Minot
Normal school just exactly what it
deserves-no more and no less. Fair
treatment is all that anyone has a right
to ask. The man who promises more to
one institution at the expense of other
parts of the state is dishonest.

Hon. H. E. Dorval, judge of the
county court and a candidate for re-
election has an especial fitness for the
position he has so long held. His in
dependent straight forward administra
ton of probate affairs is so we'll
recognized and valued by the people
that Judge Dorval now holds the record
for the longest continuous term of
service in a similar capacity over the
entire state. He has earned and holds
this record by the fairness and business
of his manner of adi~udicating probate
affairs which have invariably proven to
be eminently satisfactory to all con

The only celebration on behalf of G.

Office of governor is the one issued in
plate and prepared by Grant Hager and
Tommy Poole. 1t is made up of glitter
ing generalities and as part of a cam
paign to fool the people is a work of art.
On the other hand John Burke tells the
people just what he stands for and
points to his record as a proof that he
will perform in accordance with the
promise. Further he goes about the
state and meets the people face t. face
and give them a straight forward
account of his stewardship. There is
a vast difference between a man who
can speak for himself and one who must
depend on Alex. McKenzie's lieutenants
to speak for him. The difference is the
