SENATOR BACON.

The overwhelming endorsement
given United States Senator A. o..
Bacon by the people of Georgia in
Wednesdays primary was a richly
deserved compliment to one OF the
foremost statesmen of the country.
Having reached the highest pollt-
ical Office within the gift of the peo-
pie of his state he has commanded
their respect and admiration through
eighteen years Of public service, and
now, at the age of 10, has been chos-
en- for another six-year term. NO
other man in the history of the state
has ever served in the senate OF the
United States so long time, and no
other except his colleague for years,
the late Senator Clay, ever won three
elections.
OF vigorous mentality and good
judgment Senator Bacon has become
a democratic leader In the senate,
and his record there has undoubted-
ly strengthened him with the people
Of Georgia.
Senator Bacon remained at his
post in the senate during the cam
paign, and did not even visit the
state during its progress.

HOWLED DOWN.

Can the Oldest inhabitant of the
state recall when a candidate for
governor was howled down by the
opposition in Georgian" asks the
Macon Telegraph.
We do not come under that head,
bat for the information OF our con-
temporary we cite it to the memora-
BILE campaign between Governor AL
fred H. Colquitt and Hon. Thomas
NJ. Norwood when the former was
howled down in the city of Macon,
and not allowed to speak. Bibb
county, too, by the way, gave Gov
ernor Colquitt a tremendous majori-
ty over Judge Norwood. The editor
of The News was a mere youth at the
time, but was a strong partisan of
Colquitt and has a distinct recollec-
tion of the occurrence.

CONGRESSMAN CRISP.

The News heartily congratulates
Hon. Charles R. Crisp OF Sumter on
his decisive victory in the congress
sional primary of Wednesday. While
The News was loyal TO its home can
didate we made no fight on Mr.. Crisp
and Mr.. Shaw-said no unkind
things of them. To the observant
person. one who had watched the
progress of the campaign, the result
was not a surprise, though the plu-
rality OF the successful candidate Is
somewhat larger than was expected.
That Mr.. Crisp, with his already
large experience and his lofty char
acter and devotion to duty, will make
the district an efficient and popular
representative we do not doubt, and
in serving the best interests of his
own constituents and the country at
large he will find The News standing
by him Loyalty and giving him all
the aid and encouragement in its
power.

CHEAP SKATE LEGISLATORS.

Governor Brown, who personally
believed that the dog tax law should
have remained on the statute books
mas approved the act repeating it,
and thereby hangs a tale. A number
Of legislators, it is said, who voted
for the repeal of the tax quietly
visited the governor and urged him
to veto the bill, giving as a reason
for their votes fear of their constit-
uents. That particular brand of pa
triotism and political courage is not
to the governors liking, and he de-
cided that as the Legislators put
themselves in the hole they might
stay there.

THE NEXT GOVERNOR.

The nomination of Hon. John NJ.
SlatOn for governor was expected,
and the overwhelming vote he re-
ceived over his two opponents was
scarcely a surprise That he will
give a good account of himself in that
high and responsible office is assured.
COol-headed, sagacious and expert
enced, he is well equipped to render
satisfactory service as the states
chief executive. And, as has been
said, his election is not a political
promissory note. In his final ad-
dress to the voters of Georgia he
made these statements:
Il am not one who is given tc
viewing with alarm" And again
Il hold brief for no feeting fad
have no temporary or sordid ambi
ton; I offer no Utopia. What 1 hav
proposed I mean and hope to aeon
plish."

DISGUSTING SPECTACLE.

From the Nashville Banner.
One of the most offensive exhibit
tions of morbid curiosity ever noted
was that of the crowd assembled
about the Astor mansion in New
York when it was announced that the
posthumous son of the late John ia
cob Astor had been born. The great
wealth of the Astor family, the SEN
sational incidents OF John Jacob AS
tors second marriage and his death
among the victims of the Titanic
disaster all conspired to produce the
prurient morbidity Of the New York
crowd, but it could have no excuse
or defense The dispatches say the
police were compelled to 'call for
help to hold back the crowds that
iammed that portion of Fifth ave-
nue." 1t was very disgusting spec

A PROCLAMATION

GEORGIA:-By Joseph NJ. Brown,
Governor of said State. Whereas,
official information has been receiv-
ed at this department that on the
oath day of June, 1912, in Terrell
county, some unknown person did
kill and murder Mrs. Lou Johnson
and burned her house and escaped.
and is now fugitive from justice, l
have thought proper, therefore, to
issue this my proclamation, hereby
offering a reward of one hundred
($100.00) dollars for the apprehen-
sion and delivery of said unknown
person, with evidence sufficient TO
onVict, to the Sheriff of Terrell
county and state. And 1 do, more
over, charge and require all officers
in this State, civil and military, to
be vigilant in endeavoring to appre-
bend the said unknown person in
order that he may be brought to
trial for the offense with which he
stands charged. Given under my
hand and seal of the State, this 18th
day of August, 1912.

rotary Of State.

NEW METHOD OF CAMPAIGNING

NEW METHOD OF CAMPAIGNING
The Macon Telegraph Of recent
date says:
The politicians are finding out
at last the way to reach the peo-
pie is through the newspapers, and
at less cost than tramping over the
country trying to see them in per-
son and speak to them. The news
paper route through the advertis-
ing columns will in future be the
accepted one. Hitherto 1t has
been expected for newspapers to
line up for, and get behind, GER
tain candidates and carry the bur-
den at the newspapers expense.
But this has been all changed in
few short months. 1t came about
by the new method adopted by the
Underwood committee. Some OF
the very newspapers that charged
that Underwood purchased the
influence of the weekly newspapers
by using their advertising columns
are now profting by the new meth
cd, themselves selling their adVer-
Using space"
The use of newspapers in state
contests dates further back than the
Underwood campaign. In 1906 The
News carried half-page advertise
ments several weeks in the interest
of Hoke Smith and Clark Howell,
and again in 1903 the Joe Brown
and Hoke Smith people were liberal
advertisers. So far as The News knows
it was the first country newspaper In
Georgia to charge for natter printed
in the interest of candidates for
state office. Since then the use OF
newspapers by candidates for reach
ing the people has become general.
AS our Macon contemporary says, 1t
is much cheaper, too, and perhaps
more effective, as the voter can sit
quietly at home and read the candi-
quietly at home and read and study
the candidates thunder.

NEWSPAPER TRIBULATIoNs.

The Moultrie Observer, whose
publisher knows just how it is, tells
some of the trials and tribulatiOns
that are besetting the country news
papers these days. Says our Moul'
trie contemporary:
at was never so difficult to run
country newspaper or small print
ing business and keep the creditors
stood off at safe distance as it is
now. The country offices are paying
practically twice as much for labor
as they paid few years ago. EV-
erything they buy is trust owned
and is continually advancing in
prices. Machinery is owned by the
machinery trust, and is ace high.
Typemakers are all in a combine,
and the price is put UP at will.
Envelopes and paper of every kind
have to be bought of trusts that are
continually advancing the prices.
Power is higher, taxes are higher
and everything is higher. On the
other hand, printers are getting
the same prices for work, and in
many instances they are getting less.
Subscription prices of newspapers
remain the same, and advertising
rates are the same. Unless there is
some 'get-together' on the part OF
the newspapers and printers and
cooperation in improving the prices
and costs the end of some of them
will doubtless be not very far

According to letters received at
this office the cotton red spider is
doing considerable damage in many
parts of the state. Owing to the
number of calls for assistance In
checking the ravages Of this pest it
ia imDossible for a man to be sent
to each place.
The cotton red spider is very
small insect, about the size OIL
chicken mite, and is seen only on
close observation. When plants are
infested the damage is frst seen at
the base Of the leaf. The leaf turns
reddish in color, and this gradually
spreads over the entire leaf, which
soon falls of. On examining close
" the underside of the infested
leaves the red spider will be found,
sucking the sap out of the leaf, and
beneath this the spiders lay their
eggs and are supported while feed
| ing. AS they have no wings the
spiders must crawl from plant to
plant or be carried by some animal,
as the horse or mule while blowing.
AS soon as the damage is noticed
! If il is confined to a few plants these
may be pulled carefully and burnt.
ANY plants that are pulled up and
then left on the edge of the field
will not check the damage, as the
spider will soon crawl to fresh
plants. Where the infestation covers
too large an area to warrant the
above procedure the plants should be
; sprayed at once with potassium sui

NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE.

Southwestern Christian Advocate
The hymn, Nearer, My God, to
Thee" was baptized in blood by the
sacrifice of the Titanic. Immediate
ly following the terrible calamity the
hymn was sold in the street of Paris,
going through several editions. 1t
was sung in the homes OF the peo-
pie, at the Madeleine, at Notre Dame,
and in large halls in connection with
magic lantern schemes 1t was sung
at the Trocadero by four hundred
singers and at Leeds some five hun
dred people stood the while. An at
tempt was made to clap hands, but
il was Immediately hushed. A ma
iority felt it was too solemn fact
to be applauded thus. No paper has
given the slightest sign of leyity, as
is often the case in connection with
religious news. Away down in the
hearts of man. with whatever light
ness he treats matters of religion
in his daily rounds, there exists
sober sense of God and his relation
thereto. Would that it took some
thing less than a catastrophe to
bring that fact to the surface. Such
events are expensive reminders, and
we doubt the compensatory value
within them; still it is a comforting
thought that men supposedly Goddess
have as part Of their nature a con-
seriousness of their obligation to God.
The psalmist spoke Of finding no
place on land or sea where God was
not. He even declared that in hades
the voice Of God was heard. Surely
the human heart is not a bottomless
pit into which sinks the sentiment
OF religion, the voice Of God, never to
coma To the surface.
