Republicans, Facing Defeat, Desert Taft
PARTY DEAD IN GEORGIA

Georgia Republicans of four years ago
laid down" on Taft in this years
presidential election. This is shown by
an analysis of the vote cast Tuesday
and that of 1908.
Four years ago there were approxi-
mately $4,000 votes cast in Georgia
This year the number was, in round fig
ures, 10000. This shows slump of
$4,000, when growth in population
would have warranted an increase of at
least 1000.
The Democrats in Georgia last Tues
day polled approximately $4,000 for Will
SON against $1,000 for Bryan in 1908
This is a Democratic gain of 10000
II is probable that 10000 OF these were
among the 1900 who voted for Wat

ago. The Democrats accordingly brought

PHOTOS AT LIBRARY
OF SCENES FAMILIAR
TO SCOTT READERS

Lovers of Sir Walter Scott are having
a treat this week in the exhibit at Car
negie library, which shows thirty nine
views Illustrating localities familiar to
readers of Scott
The Illustrations are from an edition
de luxe OF Scott's works, which has been
put out by well known publishing house.
Before publishing the edition, represen-
tatives were sent to the scenes of the
novels. to investigate first hand all the
localities referred to by the author. Pho
tographs we're obtained to represent the
scenes very much as Scott saw them.
The natural scenery and the ruins of an
cient castles and abbeys were found to
correspond closely with SCOTS descrip-
tion of them.
The scenes cover nearly every county
of Scotland.

.EXH|b|TSOF CORN
To NUMBER 5000.
Girls Canning Clubs Will Have
Displays in Addition at the
Maize Show.

With reports coming in to the Cham
Der of Commerce from all of the Geor-
gia corn club districts, it was estimated
today that about 3, 1000 individual exhib-
its will be placed in the state capitol
for the Georgia Corn show. December
8 to 6, inclusive. This will be more
than double the number of last year
The southwestern district has prom
Used 700 exhibits. Most of these are on
display at the Triton fair now. There
will be 500 from the Augusta district
and 427 from the northwestern district.
These figures already are known 1t is
estimated that the Atlanta district will
have 500, the Savannah district 800 and
the Columbus district 300. This makes
a total of 2,727, and does not take into
account at all the exhibits of the girls
canning clubs, which will be an ex-
tensive and important feature of the
show.
G. e. Rice. agent for the corn clubs
in the Augusta district. has written
positively that he would send here 500
exhibits from that section Mr.. Rice
says he has some very strong exhibits,
with a high average, the maximum for
the district being 1918 bushels raised at
cost Of sixteen cents per bushel. This
lis a pretty good record and there will
be very few to surpass it in the entire
state.
Augusta Boys Can't Come.
Mr.. Rice expresses deep regret that
the dates for the Augusta Corn festival,
which We're fixed in advance of those of
the Georgia Corn show, should conflict,
because, he says, he will be unable on
this account to bring the corn club
boys from that district to Atlanta. De-
cember Is boys corn club day in Au-
gusta, the same day on which the
Chamber of Commerce will tender a
dinner to the corn club boys here.
DIR. William Bradford, Of Cedartown,
corn club agent in the northwestern
district, has written a letter promising
definitely 427 exhibits from his district.
The number of exhibits from those
counties where local contests have al
ready been held will be as follows;
Barlow county. so: Chattooga. so:
Whitfield, 40: Gordon, 40; Polk. 30;
Walker, Is; Dade, s; Catoosa, 6
The number of exhibits from the fol-
lowing counties is estimated by Or.
Bradford as follows: HARRISON. %;
Pauding, 80; Floyd 80; Murray, 10;
Gilmer, 20; Pickens, so; Cherokee, 25
With averages like these maintained
by the other counties of the state, the
total is bound to go somewhere around
1000, in addition to the Girls Canning
club exhibits.
