VICTORIA
Has. Good Bill for First
Three Days of the
Week.

The popular Victoria theater has
scored success the first half Of the
week with Its show and the large
audiences which saw the shows are
convinced that the management is
after better shows and that it will
be only short time until the Vic
toria will have the best vaudeville
shows on the road playing that, house.
The first sketch, Kelley and Parks
comedy entertainers, has a very
classy act and we'll merited the
rounds of applause they received last
night.
The second sketch on the program,
Prinee, and Wayne. comedy jugglers,
is the best ever seen on the Victoria
stage and has clean and interesting
act. Mr.. Prince is very clever, hav-
ing fine line of talk.
The last act on the program, but
by7far not the least, is Haggerty and
Hobbs, in black and tan, singing and
dancing. The show will be put .on
Tor the last time tonight.

JUDGE CRIsP's OPPORTUNITY.

The Americas Times-Recorder de-
clares that Judge Charles R. Crisp,
democratic congressman-elect from
the Third district, is fortunate in the
environment in which he will be
placed when he takes his seat in the
house of representatives. A demo-
CRATIC president will be in the white
house and a democratic majority, in
all likelihood, in the senate, and the
house will be entirely in the control
of the democrats. There will be no
barriers to constructive legislation,
no obstacle in the way of reform
Teasu2 es for the relief Of conditions
that have become almost intClera-
BILE 1t is a great opportunity for a
representative of the people to be of
service to them. Legislation of vital
Importance to the nations future
welfare is to be nodded into definite
shape, and the hands of a democratic
president are to be upheld by the
legislative branch of the govern
ment.
The News shares with our Ameri-
Gus contemporary the belief that Con-
gresham Crisp will measure up to
the responsibilities of the position in
which he is placed. ''Well drilled
in the principles of our government,
thoroughly attached to the tenets of
the democratic faith, entirely ac-
Quainted with parliamentary proceed
ure, honorably ambitious to serve his
people faithfully and intelligent
ly," says the Times-Recorder, ''he
will PROFESSIONALLY be found sup
porting all true democratic measures,
giving the full measure of his voJe
and influence to sustaining the ad-
ministration in all it's efforts to re-
deem its pledges to the nation. Not
unmindful of the particular interests
of his constituents in the district we
can look forward sanguinely to Con-
gresham Crisp taking a broad, ma
tional view of his duties, remember
ing that a congressman is a constit-
uent part of great national party,
working for a nations welfare, and
that the interests OF the individual
are best served under existing condi-
tions, oy the consideration of the in
terests of the mass Animated as
he is by such spirit the Third Geor-
gia district can look forward to be-
ing satisfactorily represented in the
great sessions Of congress that will
make 1913 an epochal year in Amer
lean history" ~ ~

GOV. BROWN AS A FARMER.

From the Savannah News.
Governor Brown, who for a long
time has had the reputation of being
a first-class governor, has now es-
tablished reputation as a first-class
farmer. Having raised 1873 bushels
of corn on an acre he is in the posi-
ton to claim that he is the champion
corn farmer.
Governor Brown is proud of being
a farmer, and it is we'll known that
his farm in Cherokee county is one
of the very best in the state, owing
largely to the very intelligent way in
which it is managed No doubt he
has great pride in the record he
has made as governor, but it is a
question if he has as much in it as
he has in his record as a farmer
We don't know that he has any fur
Their political ambition to crafty,
but if, as rumored, he has an eye
on the senate what he has done to
promote the agricultural interests of
the state will contribute as much
to assist him in getting there as
will his achievements in politics.
The farmer vote is a large one and
the farmers would likely rally to a
farmer candidate for the senate, es-
pecially a farmer candidate who has
demonstrated that he knows how to
lead the way in getting better results
from the soil. Besides, it would be
some satisfaction to them to be able
to say that they had sent farmer
to the senate, in which body there is
woefuI lack of farmers.
Governor Brown is of the opin-
ion that his father, who was a sena-
tor, would have opened his eyes in
astonishment if, in his day, he had
been told that So bushels of corn
had been raised on an acre in Geor-
gia. He is correct in that opinion,
for if there had been as much inter-
est in corn raising when the elder
Brown was a figure in the affairs of
the state as there is now intensive
and diversified agriculture in Georgia
would be much further advanced
than it is. Less attention would be
given to, cotton and more to grass,
grain and cattle.
The truth is, we are just finding
out the possibilities of Georgia's soil,
and knowing what we do now there
will be general agreement with Gov
ernor Browns opinion that the day
is coming when 40 bushels of corn
per acre in this state will be regard
ed as poor farming An average of
40 bushels an acre would make
Georgia one of the very richest agri-
cultural states in the union If our
progressive farmers continue their
work of giving object lessons we shall
soon reach position where very lit
tie Georgia money, will go elsewhere
for food products for man or beast.
Our orchards, fields and factories
will provide all we want to eat and
wear and our farmers, being able to
reinvest the proceeds from their cot
ton, will be in position to accumu-
late fortunes.

To be exact, that of the republicans
amounted to $744,68S, while that of
the democrats reached a total of
$S15, 052. There is somewhat a diff
ference between these figures and
those of four and eight years ago.
The combined funds of the two par
ties this year do not reach that en-
ployed in behalf of Mr.. Roosevelt in
1904, when Wall street and the
trusts were sandbagged for sums
almost fabulous. A feature of the
democratic fund this year was that
it was put up largely by the peo
pie themselves. All of this is no
doubt largely due to the campaign
publicity law And it is a good thing
that the people are footing large
part of the election expenses. There
can be no obligations to the inter
ests implied when they are merely
spectators.
