SOMEWHAT MIXED.

Those voters whose ballots are
controlled purely by partisan poll
tics and vote whichever way they
think Joe and Hoke and their high
priests have lined up will, it would
seem, have some trouble to decide
just where they are at" in the presi-
Dental scrimmage that has already
caused some of our newspaper breth-
rem and self-appointed and magma
ry leaders to turn red in the face.
For instance, Senator Hoke Smith
has declared his preference for Gov
ernor Wilson of New Jersey as the
democratic nominee for president,
and the New Jersey mans head
quarters in this state are in charge
Of and his campaign is being con-
Quoted by three rantankerous Joe

and wrote strong newspaper articles
in his interest in the race against
Pope Brown and Dick Russell. Mr.
Harris, it will be remembered, is the
member of the state senate who I'M
ceasingly and untiringly combatted
the policies of Governor Smith dur
ing the last session of the general
assembly and defeated the confrma-
ton of nearly all of Governor
Smiths appointees to office.
On the other hand, Governor
Brown is espousing the cause OF
Hon. Oscar w. Underwood of Ala
bama for the presidency, and one OF
the strongest interviews that has
been given out in Georgia in behalf
of the Alabama man was by Hon
James L. Anderson of Atlanta, who
was twice campaign manager FOL
Governor Smith in his memorable
contests.
Well may the fractional voter whC
is trying to make up his mind TO
whom his ballot will count in tht
presidential primary on May 1st in

JOSEPH III. HALL.

In its issue today The News prints
liberal extracts from the speech Of
Hon. JOS. H. Hall at Knoxville out
lining the principles upon which he
bases his candidacy for governor.
He deals with the affairs of the day
in his usually forceful and interest
ing manner, and what he says de-
serves and is worthy of the careful
and thoughtful perusal Of every
elector in Georgia. For many years
Mr.. Hall has been most valuable
member of the Georgia legislature,
and has served the people well both
in a constructive and obstructive
way. His ruggedness of character,
his fearless devotion to principle
and his unquestioned ability will
make him a striking figure of the
campaign now about to open. Of
that no one need doubt.
Commenting on Mr.. Halls speech
the Savannah News expresses a view
that is entertained by many, as fol-
lows:
There is nothing in the printed
extracts of the speech of Hon. Joe
H. Hall, delivered at Knoxville,
Ga, on Monday, to find fault with,
and a great deal to commend. AS
a matter of fact, Mr.. Hall is one of
the really able public men in the
state, and if he should have his
ambition gratified by being elected
governor there are reasons for
thinking that the state would have
an exceptionally good executive. At
least one thing would be accom-,
plished, namely, the factions would
get a setback, since he doesn't be-
long to either, and apparently has
no sympathy with the differences
which keep them apart.
Mr.. Hall has been long time in
the legislature, and has had great
experience in the states affairs.
He may have no faction behind him
in the race for governor, but there
are a great many people having the
states welfare at heart who are
going to vote for him.

AN IDEA FOR FARMERS CLUBS.


A bulletin of the bureau of stats
tics of the treasury department shows
that from November LIST of last year
until the end of January the custom
houses of the country had collected
duties amounting to $1,500,000 on
importations of potatoes. The tariff
charge on potatoes is twenty-five
cents a bushel That means that
since the beginning of November we
have bought from foreign farmers
about 100000 bushels of potatoes.
Commenting on the strange fact
that in this great land of broad and
fertile acres there should be a short
age of one of the commonest of sta
pie crops the Savannah News says:
There isn't any great secret about
potato raising. Given the seed and a
hoe and a patch of ground anybody
can plant potatoes and the tubers
will come mighty near to doing all
the rest themselves. There is no
more grateful vegetable in the whole
list than the potato. 1t responds
eagerly to announcement and will
thrive almost anywhere.
Would it not be a good idea for
the farmers clubs to pay a little
more attention to potatoes? The
corn clubs are in fairly full swing,
and they are doing a splendid work
of education. But we need potatoes
as well as corn. And it chances in
some instances that potatoes are the
better paying crop. 1t is safe to say
that there are hundreds of thous-
ands of acres of land in the state of
Georgia very well adapted to potato
culture and which lands are availa-
BILE to persons who are willing to
cultivate them. The man with the
hoe doesn't have to seek far for a
place of employment"
We have corn club boys and can
ming club girls in Terrell county.
Why not go a step further and have
potato club boys, too?

BIG MAN is SENATOR BACON.

Ex-senator Chauncey NJ. Depew of
New York, while in Savannah, was
interviewed by a representative Of
the Morning News. Mr.. Depew evinc-
ed interest in the suggestion of OPP
position to Senator Bacon, whom, he
declares, is one of the ablest men in
public life and whose retirement
from the senate would be a national
loss. In discussing Senator Bacon
Mr.. Depew says that, during his
twelve years in the senate, there
were certain men who, more than
any others, by the nature of their
public service, made themselves and
their states distinguished. These
senators he names as Senator Hoar
Of Massachusetts, Senator Vest of
Missouri, and Senator Allen of Iowa.
Mr.. Depew says he classes Senator
Bacon with these. The unanimous
election of Senator Bacon to preside
over the senate when the vice-pres-
ident is absent is a compliment, Mr..
DepeW says, at once unique and al
most unprecedented.

FOR SOLICITOR GENERAL.

THE FLOUR MILL AT DAWSON.

The Abel News, noting from this
paper that one of Dawson's progress
siye farmers and citizens has pro-
jected an enterprise that will be of
great value to the agricultural inter
ests Of this section, says:
Mr.. John R. Mercer of Terrell
county has erected a flour mill in
Terrell county, and a number of the
farmers there are planting wheat.
Mr.. Mercer himself planted a good
deal. The wheat industry ought to
do well in Georgia, and if the ex-
pertinent proves a success this far
south others will doubtless follow
the lead of Terrell county.
The growing of wheat has long
since passed the experimental stage
in Terrell county. Ever since the
Macon Telegraph's great wheat cam
paign several years ago a number of
Terrell farmers have been grow
ing not only enough wheat to supply
their own needs but also enough to
divide, at the market price for flour,
with their less fortunate town
friends who have not forgotten the
good old-time biscuit and bread
when the people of Georgia lived at
home and boarded at the same place.
These wheat growers are among Ter
rell's most substantial and independ-
ent farmers.
Heretofore wheat grown in Terrell
county has had to be shipped a con-
siderable distance to be converted in
to -four, and the erection of Mr.. Mer-
GERS flour mill, besides being OF
great local convenience, should slim
ulate the growing of wheat through
out this section.

CHICKEN CHAT.

A. on chickens, and the party evil
IDENTIFY knew as much about the dis
position CT people as he did about
chickens and as a result the thought
full ones will no longer allow their
neighbors to feed their fowls.
The old speckled hen doesn't get
much encouragement in this day Of
fne-blooded fowls, but when it comes
right down to the scratch she's on
her job, and in the language of the
Albany Herald
She has no sign of pedigree,
Nor claims high-soundirg name:
She roosts at night in the apple tree,
But gets there just the same"
It's all right for man to sell
eggs, but when you see a man who
has to set all the hens nine times out
of ten he is hen-pecked husband.
The thriftiest hens are now set
ting with all their mites, trying to
get through before real hot weather.
Don't let your setting hens stay in
the barn. Their constant clucklng
might drive out your horses.
These warm, sluggish days are
making the large variety of hens lay

All Are Trick Riders.

From the Albany Herald.
Hon. Toe Hill Hall believes that
the people of the state have grown
tired of political factions. He is
right-they have. But the trouble
is that they do not seem to be able
to get the bit in their teeth. The
fellows in the saddle are all trick
riders.
