Burleigh Ruggles and wife arrived
in town Saturday night after an alb
Sence of nearly four months in Den
yer, Col, and other places.
There was fair attendance at
Grange Hall Friday evening to listen
to the speaker at the farmers meet
ing and good advice about farming
was given.
There was no Grange meeting held
Saturday evening on account of the
fierce blizzard.

so. He was interested in the town
and not many years since paid

said he was present when the pres

Mr.. Russell was baptised by the Rev.

The Issue.

The corporations, by defeating
the measure providing for nomina-
ton of candidates for Office by a di-
rect vote, have come out into the
open more than they intended to do
and by so doing, have forced the
issue. The rule of property must
end in this state. The rule of the
citizen must prevail. In other words,
the corporation must be driven out
of the government of this state.
1t is now clear that the corpora
lions desire to cling to the caucus
and convention because they consti-
tute the instrument which enables
the corporations to nominate our Of

Bad Showing for The County.

Nineteen divorces were granted at
the December term of court in Cal
edonia county, reputed to be the
most righteous and law-abiding bail
iwick in the state. Down here, in
Bennington county, which some of
the people in the lilly white sec
ton of the state have been accustom-
ed to regard as unholy ground, we
have progressed thus far through
the winter sitting of court with
about third of that number of sep
arations. Caledonia county has
few more hundred people than Ben
nington but certain similar condi-
lions prevail in both. Bennington
is made up of one large town and a
number of rather sparcely settled
rural communities. In Caledonia
there are two large villages and
number of towns in which the popu-
lation is not large. With all its
claims of superiority in certain direc-
tions it would seem as though the
northeastern section of the state is
no better off SO far as solving one of
the big social problems of the day,
than the rest of us.-[ Bennington

Can't Cover Up Its Extrayaea1

can't cover Up ItS extravaganza.
The report that the probable di-
rect State tax is to be sugar coated
with the statement that the extra
appropriation for good roads made it
cessary-that in fact it was a tax
for good roads-will hardly go down
with the people. A careful and &C.
onomical legislature would have
made a direct tax unnecessary. The
good road appropriation could have
been made from available funds.
The taxpayers will not take the sug-
ar coating, though they must swal-
low the bitter pill of direct tax
because there are enough legisla-
tors who do the States business
along entirely different lines from
their own carefully and economi-
cally planned personal affairs.

We note that Senator Dillingham;

but in this position we are of the
opinion that he does not represent
the people of Vermont or appreci-

time has passed when a public Of

such a moral constituency as falls to
the lot of Senator Dillingham; can

A Department of Home Economics.


Down in the city of Marlboro,
Mass, they are having an interest
ing discussion, caused by declara-
ton of it's superintendent of public
schools, that the teaching of domes-
tic economy in the city's schools, and
particularly cooking, was of more
vital concern than the study of
mathematics.
The superintendent in question is
0. A. Martin and may his name be
ever honored. The press dispatches
are to the effect that amajority senti-
ment of the city is fast coming to the
conclusion that the superintendent is
right, and that the establishment of
the department of domestic science
in the public schools would be for
the public veal. Some of the people
of Marlboro however, as would be
the case in every community, think
housekeeping too plain matter for
public school teaching.

Will LOCATE A COLONY
down In Ware COUNTY
Several Dutch Farmers Are
Going There

Waycross, Ca, Aug. 23.-Through
the activities of the industrial depart
ment of the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic railway, a colony Of Dutch
farmers, with some Germans, will
locate on a tract of land near SEES
sions, not far from this city. The col
ony will come mostly from Pittsburg,
where the industrial agency of the A.
B. and A. has been unusually active
since its establishment.
The advance guard of the colony
will arrive in the south this fall, pre-
pared to go to work on a large scale
Not less than $50 men will be in the
colony, many of them with families.
A feature of the farming proposed
by this colony will be growing sweet
potatoes and Irish potatoes on a big
scale for wholesale shipping. The past
season witnessed some unusually good
prices for Irish potatoes in Waycross,
and the same condition prevailed IN
this entire section. The immense
yield Of potatoes per acre in South
Georgia attracted the new settlers next
to the climate conditions.
The same road has induced q colony
of Michigan farmers to purchase a
farm tract near New Lacey, between
Nichols and Ofterman and about twen-
ty-fiye miles from Waycross.

IMMENSE CROP OF HAY
MADE ON SUMTER FARM
County Has a Crop Worth
$4,000

Four thousand dollars is the esti-
mated value Of the magnificent hay
crop now growing upon Sumter coun-
TVS little 200 acre farm, three miles
west Of Americas, which discounts any
one If the many fine crops Of hay soon
to be harvested Such is the opinion
of experts who have seen it.
Supt. Bob" Christian, the good
roads artist, is the man, behind the
hay and he is proud of his ability Us
q farmer in this line.
The hay is there-eighty broad acres
of it that will easily produce two
tons per acre.
At current market prices these 100
tons, worth $25 per ton, means a $4,-
900 forage crop raised for the county's
one hundred fine mules, and at very
little, if any, expense.
In June Supt Christian harvested
1000 bushels oats from this fertile
field of eighty acres-a fine crop in 1t
self and worth several thousand dol
lars to the county. He then sowed the
land in cowpeas, and the rank growth
Of native grass and peayine, making a
fine quality of hay, is ready to be

BY MAJORITY rule
OR BY Unit SYSTEM
Much Depends on Way Next
Governor Is Chosen

Atlanta. Aug 23-The declaration Of
Judge Richard B. Russell in Lyons
THAT he would favor local option in the
liquor question has not created much
gossip here. 1t is very evident now
that so far from resigning in October,
/ Governor Hoke Smith is going to hold
on until December. He will probably
take hand in the leotion Of his sue
cessor. If he is freely consulted, that
man would not be Judge Russell.
If Governor Smith does not resign
until winter it will be February be-
fore the special election will come off
for governor.
1t is really up to the executive com
mfttle. When Hoke Smith was nom
mated in the primary in 1906 the Dem
ocratic executive committee fixed it 20
that the candidate who got the largest
vote should be governor. Then the Joe
Brown executive committee reversed
this rule and went back to the county
unit plan. That is, they returned 20
the system Of selecting delegates. The
Brown people said that Hoke Smiths
committee had ruined the small cOun-
ties and had left them at the mercy Of
the big cities which might roll up al
large majority. 1t remains to be seen
now what the present Democratic eX-
ecutive committee will do. VIII it !
prescribe the majority vote, as in the
first Hoke Smith election, or will it'll
take the hint of the Brown people and |
go back to the county unit plan?
In case ia primary Chatham coun-
ty, under the Brown plan, would only
have six votes, no matter how many |
votes We're polled, and some small |
prohibition county would have two
votes no matter how few votes were
pOlled. Chatham county might give |
Dick Russell 10000 majority under the
local option platform but Chatham
would only have six votes in the COL
yentiOn. That is, if the Brown rule
were restored. Would Chathamprefer
the Hoke Smith rule of nomination by |
popular vote or would it prefer the
Brown rule of the county unit plan?
This latter is the plan so strenuously |
advocated by the Macon Telegraph /
The Telegraph will never consent TO
see the small counties overslaughter-
ed by the vote in the big cities That
is what it said in the last campaign.
Of course, the prohibition people
will agree with the Macon Telegraph !
and uphold the county unit plan. The
local option people will insist upon 4
return to the Hoke Smith schedule and
demand a popular vote. No one know
how the state Democratic executive
committe will be. 1t is thought hat
a majority of them are prohibitionists
and they may hesitate to give the big
cities like Macon, Augusta, Savannah
and Atlanta the advantage of heavy
local option majOrities in the coming
race for governor. Of course, Judge
Russell's friends will clamOr for the
Hoke Smith rule. The prohibitionists
will beg for the Joe Brown rule.
