AsWell for Governor.

1t is now an open secret that
Hon. J. B. Aswell, of Natchito'
cles. will soon be an announced
candidate for Governor. at the
next election. His friends are
enthusiastic in his behalf, and pre-.
dict that he will he elected. With.
out committing ourselves to his
support, we must say that all the
qualities that go to make a splen-
did public official, He is capable,
he is public spirited. heis honest
and patriotic. What more do you
want in a public official? The fact
that he would be a candidate has
been evident for some weeks, for
all the sinecure office holders re.
presenting the Ring Politicians
have been chirping in unision
against him for about that time.
They evidently got the word, and
have been repeating the little
verse sent out from the New Or
leans gang, to the effect that AS.
well is the candidate of the public
school clique" that he wants to
ride into power on the public
school hobby horse" and all such
nonsense. The gang of sinecure
Office holders, has not the brains
to originate an idea, but they sing
the song sent out to them by the
bosses, and that is all they do for
the money they draw out of the
public treasury.
Mr.. AsWell pushed the Public
Schools with all the power he
could, while State superintendent
as it was his duty to do, and if he
is elected Governor, he will exert
the same energy and ability in be-
half of the State. He will make a
splendid Governor, but there are
others, ,and considering the humil.
|iating mistake we made at the last
election we must be careful in Sc.
lecting the man next time. Trot
out your men, the first entry is a
good one, but we want the pick

BETTER FARMING
THE SOUTH'S NEED
So Says an Expert Who Has
Been on the Job
Himself.

Discussing the question: What the
South Needs?" the president of the
Southern States Engineering Company.
OF Atlanta, speaking FOR the South in
general. and Georgia in particular. Is
quoted as saying:
What we most need in the South
more particularly in Georgia. is more
real farmers to develop the thousands
of Virginia acres OF our State. We have
the best TO be had in lands. climate
etc, and have just raised and are now
harvesting one OF the largest crops Of
cotton per acre production that this
state has ever known, and we want
more farmers to come among us and
enjoy our prosperity. We have some OF
the best farmers 10 be found anywhere
but there is room for four times as
many; lands are cheap climate superb
and the most hospitable people any
where. With an increase OF the acres
in cultivation. the railroads will then
feel an interest sufficient to extend
their lines to all parts OF our lend,
but when they extend their lines they
want to know that the Investment Is
going to be fairly treated-certainly
better than has been the case in the
recent past"

lively outward movement OF pis-iron

some reduction Still in the stocks OF

made are on old orders and numerous
cases arc still heard of where con-
sumers ara asking for immediate de-
livery, showing some need for the
iron. The melt is mainly with Inc
cast-dron pipemakerS. whose plants
are going nicely and t. shipments
are about equal TO the make. Tho

ceiving good quantity of iron right
