Believes Crisp Is To
Have No Opposition
WslI-Knovn Political Writer See. Non. AA..d.

That interesting political dopes-
ter, James B. Nevin, Of the Attain
Ia Georgian staff, has the following
comment on the congressional race
outlook in the Third Congressional
in a recent issue of that paper;
There seems to be no possibility
Of opposition to "Charlie" Crispin
the Third District for reelection to
Congress. although some rumbling
was heard down that way recently.
The impression seems to be that
Crisp is getting along nightly well
in Congress, and that there is no
reason. really. why he should be
disturbed.
THE truth of the matter is that
Crisp is an unusually influential
Congressman for a first-termer, be-
cause he was the House parliamen-
tartan for two years before he was
elected to Congress: and BY reason
Of his distinguished fathers high
standing he has almost grown up
among intimate inside of affairs in
Washington.
And, anyway, Crisp is not, in
the strict SENSE of the word, a first
termer.' He served part Of aaterm
in Congress several years ago-iust5
after his father died--haying been
elected to fill out the unexpired
term of the Speaker. J"

Lee County Cotton Crop Nearly

waited with interest here, but it is
not believed that the ratio Ct IN
crease will be diminished appreei-
ably.
Leesburg has had the busiest cot
ton season in the history of the city.
The largest number Of bales of cot
ton in the shortest time ever known
here have been received and handled
satisfactorily, and it is believed that
by tho time the season closes it will
show that Leeshurg has broken the
record fer the number Of bales OF
cotton marketed here in addition to
the established fact now that more
cotton has been ginned here by far
than in any previous season. The
prices for cotton offered by the local
buyers has been exceptionally good,
having ranged nearly all the time
better than that Of the larger mar
kets to the north and soutbOf Lees
burg. With such exceptional in
duccments offered it is no wonder
that Leesburg has received a large
portion of the cotton ginned in Lee
county this season. The interest
here in ginning plants and in bring
ing cotton to Leesburg has been such
this season that it is expected to
a
make a much larger Increase in cot
ton receipts next year.
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1913-10-16

Figures from the United States
census bureau received direct from
Washington by The Journal show
that the number Of bales Of cotton
ginned up to September rs, this
wear. is almost double the total
amount ginned up to the same time
last year. For this year up to Sep
TENDER 25 the census figures show
s, Alb bales ginned in Lee county as
compared with 8 1913 for last year.
This big lead in favor Of this year $
crop shows how much better the
crop is this year and also how much
more rapidly it has been ginned
than last year.
, The most recent figures made pub.
lie by the census bureau give the
ginning statistics for Lee county
only up to September %, but it is
believed that were the figures avail
able for the cotton glnned since that
date the gain would be even larger.
The figures serve to show why Lee
county farmers are wearing such
pleasing smiles on their faces, as a
large part Of this cotton has been
sold for 10 cents per pound, or very
close to that figure. Further figures
from the census bureau will be a.

Much favorable comment has
been heard relative to the front page
editorial recently published in The
Journal, showing the need Of Office
buildings here. The live and timely
suggestion made by The Journal has
met with great approval.
Several well known and energetic
citizens Of Leesburg with capital are
considering most fayorably the i'm

building that will give accomoda-
tons to numerous professional men
who are cramped in small offices
now, two in one Office in some

$500 Acre Paid for Lee Co.
Lands I Miles from Railroad
This price being paid now for Lee county land that found
abundance here.--PrObabIy no county in Southwest
Georgia can boast such record

AS an indication Of the value of
Lee county lands, which are cons
family increasing in worth, is the
sale that is now being carried on
and has been carried on for some
time Of good land situated seven
miles from railroad and an equal
distance from Leesburg at the price
Of $500 an acre. This is good
average Lee county land, and all
the land adjacent to the tract that
is being sold is asgood while large
part Of it is even better.
The tract referred to as selling at
$500 an acre, though at least seven
miles from Leesburg or a railroad,
is the Hollis place, owned by Low
rey Brothers, the we'll known pecan
firm. This tract is planted in fine,
vigorous young pecan trees, and q
large number Of acres have been
disposed Of at $500 per acre. while
the sale is going steadily on SO as to
indicate that all Of the tract will be
disposed Of at this price or an even
better one. A magnificent place,
just adjacent to the Hollis place, is
Of the same quality land, and is
even better drained, making it an
even more desirable tract than the
other, while there are few farms in
Lee county, if any, that are better
for pecan growing or foran agricul-
tural work. In fact, every tract adj
iacent to the Hollis place isofequal
worth to the Hollis place land.
This is arevelation even to some
Lee county people to know that land
in this county seven miles from a
railroad win sell at such a price.
That II has selling this price
in the past for some time, while the
sale continues uninterruptedly.
Those who are thinking Of purchase
ing Lee county lands cannot any
longer doubt that there is no better
opportunity in south Georgia il the
way of securing choice lands than
those offered by Lee county. Far
and wide throughout the entire ma
ton Lee county lands are fast be-
coming known. With the Ander-
sonville- Townsville highway pass
ing directly through the center Of
the county, there is not an acre Of
land in Lee that is not readily ac-
to this highway and to the
ever increasingly large number Of
good roads that thread every section
Of the county. Lee county real es-
tate is advancing in value BY leaps
and bounds, and the wise buyers
have come to realize this fact and
are securing lands as quickly as they
can in this most desirable
county in order to avoid paying tile
large increase in value that comes
from year to year with absolute re-
yularity.

Entrance in Scutari, Hard
Problem, Say Powers.

VIENNA, April 25.-King Nicholas Of
Montenegro today was still the head
liner at the concert of the powers. and
what the doughty monarch intends tc
do is what every ministry OF Europe
wants to know.
There is no change in the program
of the powers to make Scutari the
capital of Albania, and the big nations
unanimously agree that Montenegro
must give up the captured city.
The ambassadors will meet again in
LcEdon this afternoon to consider the
problem and take under advisement the
note In which Austria-Hungary virtual
" said that If the other powers do not
oust Montenegro the Gual monarchy
will do it alone.
Dispatches from Cettinje quoted King
Nicholas as telling his jubilant people
that Montenegro will hold Scutari
against all corners. In spite Of his
boasttul declarations. though, 1t is be-
lieved in diplomatic circles that the
King can be persuaded to evacuate the
city.
King Nicholas professed to have his
heart set on emulating the examples OF
Car Ferdinand and the late King
George, in triumphantly entering cap
tive city. He has had that experience
now, and 1t is believed the King, for a

The Ideal Wife.


 A California man who has studied deeply on Che subject has formulated the following list of characteristics that arc desirable In Che woman he would marry:
 Tho lIeaI woman for a wIfr should have theae qualifications.

 One naturally wonders where Che masculine paragon win be found who deserves such wife as thc Ideal wo. man should make What sort Of voice, bank account temper nocturnal habits and whisEcrs should he haveg And it he were such an ideal himself would ir be right that he should marry such an Ideal wIfe2 Would lt not be wasting Goo mucbvlrtuc ou one family?
 Where is che ideal womm3 you ask. She is everywhere she is Che woman every man marrics. At least he thinks she Is. His mind may suGer @ change later, but when he leads her to thc ale tar he is convinced that she possesses an the desirable traits listed by the hopeful Californian and few others detected by che fond lover and unseen .by others
