THE COTfON ACREAGE.

Last year-1911-the cotton acre
age was thirty-fye million. Had the
average yield been one-half bale an
acre the yield would have been sew
enteen and a half million bales.
The boil weevil, drouth and ex-
cess rains at inopportune times re-
duced the yield two millions or two
millions and half. Here is the
ginners' report by states up to Jan

Mr.. Bryan clashed with the demo-
cratic national committee at it's re-
cent meeting from the start, and lost
out in the end. Bryan was unwise
in making fight to keep Guffey of
Pennsylvania off the committee, and
it is to be hoped that he will be
ready to do his part as a loyal demo-
crat in the big contest this year.
His threat to appeal for vindlcation
to the rank and file of the democ-
racy was probably uttered in the
heat of the contest waged in the
committee room, and will be forgot
ten in the comradeship of the fight
for victory.

William Jennings Bryan is still the
''big show" in a democratic gather
ing. No one seems able to explain
why it is so, but it is evident enough
for everyone to see, says the Moul-
trie Observer. This reminds us of
hearing the genial Judge Dick Russell
remark recently that he and Mr.. Bry-
an are the two most popular men
known to politics except on election
day.

In reversing a verdict and grant
ing the defendant a new trial the
Court of Appeals took occasion to
read a little lecture to Judge A. w.
Fite, the spectacular and bombastic
presiding genius of the Cherokee cir
cult. The decision, which was writ
ten by Judge Ben Hill, says among
other things: The manner in which
the sentence was imposed was unus-
ual 1t was striking variation from
the that orderly judicial procedure
which has generally characterized
the character of judges in imposing
sentences of such gravity"

Reflects Credit.

Wesleyan Christian Advocate: The
Dawson News, one of the best and
most enterprising of the secular pa
pers of this state, will henceforth be
a semi-weekly instead of a weekly.
In this connection it may be well to
give forth this judgment: 1t may
be questioned if there is a state in
the union which can boast of a better
secular weekly press than is that
which reflects credit on this good
state of Georgia. For The Dawson
News in it's new venture we wish the
fullest success.

The Home and Farm, one of the
oldest and leading agricultural pa
pers of the country, urges every cot
ton planter to ponder these figures,
and then determine what he will do
about reducing his cotton acreage.
If for 1912 the farmer insists on
planting thirty-fve million acres he
must count on crop of over fifteen,
and probably seventeen, million
bales.
Such crop following the large
crop of 1911 will still further depress
prices.
Raise less cotton and more oats,
alfalfa, cowpeas, corn, cattle, pigs,
vegetables and poultry.

WHY KILL ROBINS?

From the Twiggs County Citizen.
Why should we. seek to destroy the
robins? They are perhaps the most
useful of the several kinds of birds
which come South to spend the win
ter. Besides adding charms to our
landscapes in winter the cheerful
little robin does US all inestimable
service by destroying countless
thousands of insect larvae secreted
in the bark Of trees, in crevices and
in various other places. Left unmo-
Tested until spring or summer these
larvae would hatch out more nui-
sance for everybody and more dam
age to the farmer in the form of in
sects destructive to growing crops.
Please do not shoot the robins. There
is no use of it, and it might cause
you to have to pay a fine.
