Republican Tactics.

The attacks being madeupon John
A. Dix, the Democratic nominee for
governor of New York, by Colonel
Roosevelt and the other leaders of
the Republican party in that state,
show to what straits the Republican
opposition has been brought to make
IA decent appearance for popular
favor in the November elections.
The charges made by the Republi-
cans were that starvation wages"
we're paid by Mr., Dix to the en-
ployes in the Standard Wall Paper
Mills, OF New York, in which he is
prominent officer and stakeholder.
The employees of the mill have
voluntarily replied to the attack by
denying that they are receiving
starvation wages and by showing
that their wages compare favorably
with those paid by any other paper
mills in New York state.
Colonel Roosevelt has claimed to
be led by only the purest motives in
the fight he is making on the New
York Democracy, but in the light
ofthe various tactics he has employed
during the present campaign it
seems that he is as INSCRIPTIONS as
any professional politician in selling
upon any thing that will bring sue
cess to his standard. 1t is manifest
that the Republicans are desperate,
that not even the magic of Roosevelt's
name has been sufficient to stem the
tide of popular sentiment in favor Of
turning the Republican grafters out.
The Democracy of the country will
await with eager expectation the
results of Colonel Roosevelt's tactics
in New York, which seem now to
presage victory for the Democrats.

Youth and the Farm.

There is large inspiration for the
youth. OF the South in the extra
ordinary success which has crowned
the efforts Of the young South Caro-
lima farmer who recently became
champion corn grower Of the world
b. the production Of 25S bushels Of
corn on single acre Of land.
Though only fourteen years Of age,
this youthful prodigy has wrestca
the championship Of the world in
corn-growinF, formerly held by
another South Carolina citizen, from
a farmer Of mature years and wide
experience. So much the greater
victory for this strenuous youngster,
even though he surpassed the record
Of the elder agriculturist by only
three bushels.
The name Of this newly arrived
world champion has not yet been
announced, hut it is known that he
has developed a new method Of corn
culture. His records are now being
examined by the United States farm
demonstration department in Wash
ington, and the full story Of how The
great yield was made will soon be
announced by DIR. Seaman A..
Knapp, of the national Department
of Agriculture, 50 that it may be-
come matter Of knowledge to every
farmer in the country.
This is an example Of the electric
energy and aggressivcness. of youth
applied to the successful solution Of
how to keep the boys on the farm,
as this youthful South Carolian did
all the work Of cultivating this acre
of corn. What a reiuvcnation Of
worn-out farms and what a telling
impetus could be given to the up
building Of agriculture in this coun-
try, if the young men who are born
on the farm would strike out into
the inviting pathway blazcd by the
new champion!

contribute its share toward making
the movement a success. Americas
seems logical point for the holding
of fair that will attract the support
and aid Of several counties inits inn
mediate vicinity.
II the people Of Terrell county are
able to support a creditable fair, why
can't the people Of Sumter and
neighboring counties unite their eff
forts in holding fair in Americas
that will be helpful and profitable
for all concerned? Amcricus is much
nearer and naturally q better suited
place for the holding Of a fair for the
people ofthis section thanis Dawson.
Here's wishing success to the VEN
ture, if the progressive citizens Of
Americas find it wise to launch such
a movement. Lee county's aid may
be small, but The Journal will do
all in its power to marshall public
sentiment for the success Of an
Americas fair.

Game Season Opens.

A decided stimulus has been given
to hunting locally in the last few
days since the opening of the regular
game season last Tuesday, and q
merry banging Of guns marked the
advent Of the open season for the
most important game.
The open season for doves has
been on since July Is, but there is
seldom much effort to hunt doves
until th3 cooer weather arrives.
Now that quail and pE ridge are
added to the list Of gam irds that
may be legally killed, the hunters
will become more active The sable
citizens who love 'possum have
already been making itwarm for his
possum-ship, which can be legally
done from October Is to March Is.
1t is said that quail and PARTRIDGE
are as numerous locally as they have
been in recent years. In fact, it is
expected that the going will be
good IN the hunting game, eS-
pecillly for those sportsmen who get
into the game early. Doves have
been comparatively scarce here for
several years past, due to the. fact
that they have been Systematically
butchered by the pernicious "baited
field" system.
The law in regard to game sets the
following earliest and latest dates at
which the most important game may
be killed:
Deer, September 1 to January.
Quail, partridge, pheasants, wild
turkey, November l to.Marrh Is.
Woodcock, summer or wood duck,
September to February |.
Marsh hen or snipe, September l
to March Is.
Dove (limit 40doves to one gum !,
July Is to March 10.
Opossum, October | to March Is.

A Rugged Statesman.

THE news Of the past week brought
the sorrowful announcement that
former Governor Allen d. Gambler
had passed away Thus came to a
close the life of one Of the most

governors.
To the very close of his life he was
engaged in the contamination Of q
work that means much othe future
greatness of the state-the compila-
ton Of the Colonial, Revolutionary
and Confederate records of Georgia.
His untiring zeal, his rugged sim
cerity and large knowledge of the
work made him exceptionally well
fitted to compile the records of the
states achievements.
Sprung from the soil and reared
in the quiet environment Of a coun-
try home. he had always those quail
ties of rugged honesty and simpli-
city which made him friends every
where. His administration Of the
states affairs was noted for its
moderation, conservatism and un-
usual success. His after-service
was none the less faithfully con-
Quoted and productive Of good re-
suits.
He was a plain, unassuming man
of the people, who knew him affec-
tionately as the "one-eyed plow-boy

Who went astray in his youthful prime.

And boys win be boys, the old folks say,
And the man Is the better who's had his

told
OF the prodigs son who came back to the

And christian people threw open the door
With warmer welcome than ever before,
Wealth and honor were his 10 command.

And the world strewed their pathway
