ANOTHER BIRTHDAY.

The News has passed another mile
stone, and with this issue enters up
on the thirtieth year of it's existence.
For twenty-three years the publisher
has given all of his time and energy
and spent much money in an effort
to make the paper a worthy exponent
of the splendid town and county in
which it has it's home, but whatever
success has been attained is largely
due to the steadfast loyalty and the
liberal patronage of the people it has
served
In this connection The News de-
sires to express it profound thanks to
the ladies and gentlemen who are so
handsomely portraying the county's
and products at the Triton
exposition for making the paper
part of the exhibit and displaying
copies Of several late issues under a
large card bearing the inscription:
The Best County Paper in Geor-
gia." Such evidence of appreciation
and good will on the part of the
lomefolk is enough to stir the pride
If any editor and encourage him to
still greater effort. Some things are
worth more than money, and this is
)ne Of them.

GEORGIA NEEDS THEM BOTH.
rom the Cordele Rambler.

From the Cordele Rambler.
The Rambler is not controlled by
either the Brown or the Smith fac
ton; we are for Hoke Smith for the
senate simply because we believe
that Georgia and the South need his
strong personality to represent us in
that body. We are for Little joe"
for governor because we believe he
is the man to handle conservatively
the helm of state, weighing the
claims of rich corporations and the
common people in an equal balance,
giving justice to both. He is an
honest, unassuming man, careful in
detail and cautious in execution; too
wise to be timeserver and too hon
orable to be CRATER.
Notwithstanding his affections for
the common people he never resorts
to the hypocritical devices of the
demagogue, but respects honestly &C
CURED wealth and protects it's rights.
He is man who will make us a good
governor every day; his common
sense and judgment are never swept
away by the fad of the hour.
We need Hoke Smith in the SEN
ate, but Little Joe" should be put
in the governors chair, and we be-
lieve that he will.
Georgia needs both of these men;
and 1T is pity that faction is partly
obscuring the merits of them. Think
for yourself, and don't let any fac
ton control you; be yourself an in
dividual.

TERRELIs FARMER CANDIDATE.

Hon. ]. R. Mercer of Dawson,
candidate for congress from the
Third district, is one of the few
men who offer themselves for pub
lie service who was born and rails;
ed on farm and is now a farmer.
The farming class constitute a ma
jority of voters, and there is no
argument against the fact that
they should be represented by
man who is familiar with their
needs.-Turner County Banner.
Terrell county's farmer candidate
is receiving encouraging reports from
all parts Of the district. The Third is
now ably represented by a distin-
guished farmer who was transferred
to another district in the reappor-
tionment shake-up, and so satisfacto-
ry have his services been that it will
be no surprise If the people decide to
send another son of the soil to rep
resent them at Washington.

NO WONDER SHE CACKLEs.

To stimulate a movement for the
proper care Of the egg product and
thereby vastly reduce the $45, OOO,-
600 loss annually sustained by farm
ers and other egg producers the de-
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton has been conducting an investiga-
ton during the last year, the results
of which have just been announced.
The loss is due to improper handling
on the farm and at the country store
Incidentally it is pointed out that
the products of the American hen ag-
gregate a total value of 100000, 900
annually sum equal to the value
OF the hay crop, the wheat crop, the
combined value of the oats and pota-

value Of the tobacco crop.

THE DRIFT is NOW TOWARD
GOVERNOR HARMON

From the Americas Times
Governor Harmon is accused of
economy in that he has saved ten
million dollars to consumers by
enforcing the law against false
weights and measures; he has re-
covered a million from tax dodg-
ers, half million by consolidat-
ing a lot of inefficient boards into
one that works, and lot of other
savings are to his credit. Now
what do the people of Ohio think
such an executive might not do
along the same lines for the people
of the United States if he were
given working chance?-Jack-
sonville Times-Union.
There is evidently a considerable
revulsion of feeling among Southern
papers, turning toward Governor
Harmon as the most available can
didate for the democracy to nominate
next year. There is no doubt that
for a few months there has been a
decided drift toward Governor Will
son Of New Jersey, a drift assisted
by well organized efforts to create a
hurrah throughout the South and
sweep it into the Wilson column. In
several states well known newspapers
seem to have been selected by the
Wilson organizers as the medium for
creating public sentiment, and
through such agencies the daily and
weekly newspapers have been bonn
barded with Wilson publications
Probably not Georgia newspaper
Office, for instance, that does not re-
ceive daily from the Atlanta Geor-
gian matter pertaining to Wilson s
candidacy.
But despite these persistent efforts
the turning of the tide toward Har-
mon is becoming apparent The
truth of the matter is that Governor
Wilson has been a trifle too much in
evidence. There has been such an
apparent straining after public ap.
proval, such an eager yearning not
to be overlooked for a moment, thai
the public has already begun to dis.
play signs of Wilson WEAKNESS. His
snatching at every ism that has ap.

JUDGE CRISP ANNOUNCES.

Hon. Charles R. Crisp, of Sumter
county, makes formal announcement
in this issue of The News of his can
didacy to represent the Third district
in congress. Having some years ago
filled the unexpired term of his la
mented father in the congress, and
at present is discharging the duties
of the important position of parlia-
mentarian of that body, Judge Crisp
is fitted both by training and expert
ence for the high office to which he
now aspires, and that, in connection
with his well-known energy and abil-
ity, would make him a. useful and
influential representative at Wash
ington should the people choose him
for this responsible service.
Judge Crisp is not only popular in
his own county of Sumter, which will
overwhelmingly endorse him over
any candidate who may oppose him
there, but he has a wide acquaintance
and is highly esteemed throughout
the district, and will have large
following.

Raising Corn in Gods Country

From the Cuthbert Leader.
A Terrell county farmer has gath
cred 141 bushels of corn from an
acre, and boy at Jakin, Early coun-
ty, made 1872 bushels on the same
amount of land. We hear that a
Randolph county boy will get over
100 bushels to the acre, and there
are other precincts to be heard from.
All of which indicates that corn
grows well in Southwest Georgia
with proper cultivation.

WHY A PRIMARY?
From the Triton Gazette.

AOu the 1lICon Gazette.
Report says that Mr.. Smith spent
$1S'OOo and Mr.. Brown $4,000 in the
last primary, and some one asks If it
isn't too expensive for poor man to
offer for office. And this again
brings up the question, why is a pri-
mary necessary? Only one office is
to be filled, and so far there are only
three candidates. Under the white
primary system republicans. ponn-
lists, socialists and everybody else
but the negro votes, and if the regis

Some of the politicians who are
advocating Governor Wilson of New
Jersey want to take snap judgment
year ahead of time by voting on the
presidential candidates in the primary
that is soon to be called to nominate
a candidate for the unexpired guber-
material term. Of course the state
committee will not become a party
to any such premature scheme.

PLURALITY OR MAJORITY?
The Macon Telegraph of a recent
date says:

The Macon Telegraph of a recent
date says:
The Dawson News and the Cor
dele Rambler raise a nice queB-
ton about the next congressional
nomination in the Third district.
Five new counties have been plac-
ed in the district, and these have
no representation on the executive
committee. There are FIVE candi-
dates; now, will plurality or a
majority nominate? And shall it
be majority of counties, or of
votes, or of delegates?"
Our esteemed Cordele contempt
rary states that the plurality rule
has prevailed in the district twice
in recent years, but as it has been
many years since there we're more
than two candidates in the Third dis
trict for the seat in congress it was
after all majority of the votes and
not a plurality that decided the cleo
ton. OF course, it is impossible for
the plurality rule to prevail where
there are only two candidates.
AS The News has previously point
ed out, with the plurality rule and
five or six candidates it would be
possible for very small minority to
name the congressman. We believe
that the people Of the district will
not be satisfied with any plan that
does not require the nominee to
have majority either of the coun.
ties or of the popular vote. With
the field full of aspirants the county
unit and convention plan would be
the most satisfactory way to nomi-
nate a congressman.
