BIENNIAL SESSIONS BILL.

According to the news from At
lanta those who believe in economy
and less politics at public expense are
making special efforts to get the BIZ
ennial sessions bill up in the house
before the end of the legislative ses-
sion.
AS the Columbus Ledger says, it
seems to be difficult matter to get
the Georgia lawmakers to disregard
their own interests, salaries, etc., for
the interests of their constituents,
and the indications are the present
assembly will refuse to act on this
important measure.
The proposed bill would, if en-
acted into law, save the people Of the
state $4,000 every other year, and
it should appeal to those who have
the public welfare at heart.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1911-08-09

The legislature has been wrang-
ling over near beer, and while no
definite result has been reached the
indications are the bill to prohibit the
sale of anything in Georgia that con-
tains more than one and one-half per
cent of alcohol will be passed. One
of two things should be done-per-
nit the sale of pure beer or stop the
sale of the dopy stuff that is now
drenching the drinkers.

WHERE MONEY is SAVED

New England thrift has been ridi-
culed time and again, but no one can
deny that this characteristic has been
the fundamental cause of the health.
happiness and prosperity of a large
section of our country. The pioneers
had to save every penny possible, and
what was Of still greater Importance
had to hustle most strenuously for
pennies to save.
This habit of saving-forced by
the conditions of life at that time
did not die with the pioneers. Today
the people of Massachusetts, have
$72S,OOO,000 in savings banks, which
is an average of $3.50 for every man.
woman and child in that state. There
are more than 100000 individual
accounts in the savings banks, which
represent two-thirds of the popula-
ton. The depositors are mainly
working people, and of limited means
individually, but combined they have
enough money to buy the capital
stock Of all the United States and
have enough to pay off the depositors
of all the savings banks south of the
Potomac and Ohio rivers.
If We of this favored section would
emulate the tightwads of the New
England states just a little bit our
wealth would be fabulous.

GEORGIA GIRL AND KING CORN.


According to an item that is going
the rounds of the newspapers Miss
Matte Lou Branham, fourteen
year-old girl of Putnam county, holds
the palm for being the best cook in
the United States. With no other
training than that secured under the
supervision of her mother on a Geor-
gia farm Miss Branham has learned
to produce so many delectable dishes
that an epicure sitting at the board
for a full day would hardly be able
to taste all of them.
Last fall at the county fair at
Eatonton Miss Branham won a prize
for the versatility of her employment
of the products of a single crop.
More recently the little lady has Wis
tied the State Normal School at Ath-
ems, where she showed her elders
how to make an almost endless yari-
ETY. of dishes from corn and its prod.
ucts. When Miss Branham had com
pleted her labors 20 distinct dishes
mad appeared upon the table, and the
girl had not exhausted her recipes.
Miss Branham has been informally
invited to cook meal for the next
President who shall honor Georgia
with a visit, and it is said she hopes
her victim may be President Taft
who is said to keenly appreciate the
finer points of Southern cookery
Miss Branham is aware of the many
good things that have been manufac.
tured to tempt and please his palate
on his trips to this state, but she be.
ieVes that when he has eaten the
dinner she has in mind to cook fol
him he will be aware that corn is moi
only king in the West, but is a cror
not to be despised anywhere at any
time.

WINS THE FIRST ROUND.

Macon or more properly speaking
Middle and South Georgia, very much
the greater part of the state, has won
first blooi in the fight before the les
islature to remove The state capital
from North to Central Georgia, where
it will be more accessible to the peo-
pie of all sections.
Thursday the legislative committee
on constitutional amendments recon-
mended that the bill to submit to the
people of the state the question of
removing the capital to Macon be
passed. Fully two-thirds of the
committee, which is one of the larg-
est of the lower house, were pres
ent, and out of the number there
were only two dissenting votes
Messrs. McElreath of Fulton and Al
exander of DeKalb, both of whom
are Atlanta men.
There is no doubt that the removal
of the capital to a more central loca-
ton is desired by very large num-
Der of the people, and the legislature
cannot afford not to submit the Ques-
ton to the voters of the state for set
Element.
In the meantime it would be the
part of wisdom not to make any plans
for a new executive mansion in At
lanta or for the enlargement of the
present state house.

COVERS TOO MUCH TERRITORY.

! COVERS TOO MUCH TERRITORY.
A Dublin dispatch to the Macon
Telegraph says: THE Dublin Cham
Der of Commerce has been authorized
to challenge the corn growers of the
United States, excepting those of
Laurens county, to match or better
/ the yield on twelve acres of corn now
in process of growth in this county,
the contest to be for a purse of ST.
! 600, One-half to be provided by the
Dublin Chamber of Commerce and
the other half by the party who de-
sires to contest the claim that this
/ is not the best twelve acres of corn
in the United States. The corn in
question is a twelve-acre field owned
by Messrs. D. A. Thomas and J. T.
Mercer. Competent experts say that
it will average more than $50 bush
els per acre."
Laurent is a mighsy good county
and has some good farmers, but our
friends of the Dublin Chamber of
Commerce have probably taken in
too much territory in their offer of a
wager. They, apparently, have for
gotten that Terrell county is in the
United States, and that some corn is
grown here-as much as 100 to 1862
bushels to the acre the past two or
three years.
We do not know of anybody who
would want to bet with the Dublin
Chamber of Commerce-ft couldn't
possibly make any more or any less
corn-but our advice to them in
friendly spirit is not to flourish their
long green" around too promiscu-
Gus, as some fool fellow down here
might take notion to pad his own
wallet with it,
There is ten-acre field of corn in
Terrell county that will make as much
as is claimed for the twelve acres of
the Laurens county farmer and then
have some to spare. This corn is on
the farm of Mr.. c. NJ. Gormley, four
miles north of Dawson, and has been
visited and gazed on in wonder by
great many people. None who have
seen it estimate that it will make
less than 200 bushels to the acre,
while many say it will yield as
much as $50 bushels to the acre and
produce figures to prove it after
counting the stalks and rows.
simultaneously with the campaign
that was started three years ago by
the Department of Agriculture at
Washington to encourage the raising
of more corn in the South local prizes
were offered by a citizen of Terrell
county for the largest yields, and the
result has been marvellous. Where
the yield was formerly 10 to 20 BUSH
els to the acre it is now so, rs. 100
and upwards. An impetus has been
given to agriculture that means pros
perity.
Scientific farming is in it's infancy.
but it is growing in favor, and the
results which will follow in a few
years will be amazing. All that is
required is the same kind of intelli-
gence which is applied to commercial
and manufacturing enterprises.

Marty O'Toole, he of the Emerald

think he did not get one cent of
this big sum. In addition President
Dreyfus of the Pittsburg team has
insured the costly players life for
$4,000 with the Pittsburg team as
beneficiary. This is the land of the

is not only an able and an upright
