The Good OF County Fairs,

1t will not be long before the cOun-
ty fairs, one of the best of which will
be the Terrell County Fair at Daw-
son, will be in full swing, and you
should make your plans for attending
and also for making an exhibit. Ev-
eryone who attends these fairs can,
if he will, get good out of them, but
the man who makes an exhibit of
something he has grown and is proud
of is the man who is going to get the
most out Of them. For instance, the
Progressive Farmer tells of a man
who is now considered an authority
upon the subject of hog breeding and
who probably has the best herd of
hogs in his state, who practically
learned how to do it at fair. He
thought he had world-beaters when
he made his first exhibit, and was
thunderstruck when the judges pass
ed him up and did not give him a
single award. He didn't get mad
and NOPE, however, but commenced
asking why, and in seeking the an
swer to that question learned so
much about hog breeding and good
hogs that ever since he has been
considered one of the most danger
GUS competitors in the show rings of
the state and those adjoining. That's
what making his first exhibit did for
him. and what it will do for you if
you will go about it in the right
spirit.

Wasting Money On Roads.

The Savannah Morning News is of
the opinion that if South Georgia
continues to spend big sums in build
ing roads and then give little atten-
ton to keeping them in good repair
the good roads movement is going to
lose a great deal of it's popularity.
AS our contemporary says, much Of
the money spent for building roads
will be simply wasted unless after
they are built they are kept in good
shape. Roads deteriorate very rap
idly unless they are patched when
ever patches are needed. Good roads
pay only when they are properly
looked after, only when holes and
ruts and cave-ins are eliminated as
quickly as they appear"
The Nashville Herald comments as
follows upon the road situation in
Berrien county:
"Berrien is spending SIS, 900 to
$4,000 year on her public roads.
That is all right, but we ought to
spend $4,000 to $1,000 a year on
the upkeep Of these same roads.
Berrien is making a big mistake in
spending so much for road building
and then allowing the roads to go to
ruin. They should be taken care of
after they are built
The conditions in Berrien pictured
by the Herald are true in many 9th
er counties, perhaps in most 0.
them, and explains the growing dis
satisfaction because Of the spending
of thousands of dollars a year with
out getting any permanent results.
As the Morning News points out IL
its article discussing the waste {
money in road work, it is expensive
to allow roads to get into disrepair
"By comparison" it says, lit is eX
ceedingly inexpensive to keep then
up to the proper standard. To spen
thousands of dollars to build fe1
miles of road and then to pay no fun
Their attention to it, permitting it t
be cut by traffic and to be washe
by the rains without making any e
fort TO repair the damage, is almo'
equivalent to throwing the money il
to the ocean. South Georgia hs
many hundred thousand dollar
sunk in new roads and can not a
ford TO lose all that money simpl
through the failure of county autho
ities TO prevent the new roads frol

he will nominate not only another
mayor of New York city, but another
governor of the state in 1914 and in

States"
In his warfare on SuIzer Murphy
first dug up what purpOrted to be a
chapter in the governors history
showing him to have had unconven-
tional relations with a woman.
Murphy next caused the governor
to be denounced by Tammany under

tilted that he bought railroad stock,
for his personal account, with large
portion of the cash contributed to
that fund.
1t is Murphy's evident purpose to
have the governor removed from Of

he can, apparently, count upon the
obedience of at least a majority, and
perhaps twO-thirds majority, OF the
legislators who may act on Suffers

Albany has already proven sufficient
to withhold legislation advocated
and promised by the governor and to

Frank Putnam in st.


Will Tammany, digging Governor
Suffers political grave, also fill it?
This is the question the answer to
which concerns every American.
IN the history of American poll
tics" writes Walter Wellman in the
Sun, there is no more dramatic cpl
sode than the duel to the death now
raging between the governor and the
democratic organization in this
state"
SuIzer, after being 20 years a mem
Der and servant of Tammany Hall,
was elected governor last year. He
says he found the state departments
rotten with Tammany graft. He as
serts he was expected to act as Boss
Murphys rubber stamp in making
appointments, and that he refused to
so be used.
Murphy, with all Tammanys vast
resources at his command and Tam
many controls not only New York
city hu4 the state legislatTe-set out
to get the governor, break him
down and force his retirement from
office and from public life in dis
grace
Sulzer is said to have been ami
mated in breaking with Tammany
not solely by a desire to protect the
state against graft, but quite as much
by a belief that if he could make
himself master of the state demo-
cratic organization he cOuld win the
democratic party's nomination to the
presidency in 1916.
Murphy is fighting for the same

The Story Of The Hen,

The story of the hen as revealed
in census statistics is like that OF a
man who began life as an office boy
and Immediately became the head Of
A giant corporation. The census fig
ures partly explain the reason.
The total value of proultry prod
ucts in 1900 was $500 100000, an
increase of eighty-one per cent in
ten years. But the census bureau
takes pains to explain that the re-
turns we're incomplete and the valu-
alton an underestimate Semi-of1Cial
and private estimates have placed the
total value for 1912 at upward Of
$500, 100000, and this undoubtedly
is a fair approximation. A compari-
son of this output with the valuation
placed on the different crops by the
department OF agriculture VIII snow
the hen in no insignificant light. The
hay crop is worth only seven per cent
more. The country Is proud of the
big wheat crop, yet Biddy can cackle
in derision at the wheat, rye and po-
tatoes combined, for all of them to-
gether are worth only $791, 999, 900.
Weigh the oats, barley, buckwheat
tobacco, faxseed and rice against her
and it will still be necessary to
throw in the silver mined last year
to balance the scales.
Great is the American hen. May
her cackle never grow less.

That the fly is responsible for that
dread disease of children. infaDtile
paralysis, was demonstrated more
than a year ago. Now a St. Louis
physician claims to have traced it
still further, and finds that the flies
themselves are infected in the larvae
stage through infected fowls. We all
know that the fly Is to be dreaded
but we would be loath to believe
that the domestic fowl is a source Of
danger to the health of young chill
dren.

The downfall of Governor Sulzer,
for twenty years a patron Of Tam
many and representative of the Bow
cry district in congress, is another
evidence that the creature seldom be-
comes greater than the creator. Sui
ger made the mistake of believing
that he had grown to be more
powerful than the organization
that started him in public life
and kept him there, and was ready
to overthrow it. The pathos of
the case is the part that Mrs. Sulzer
seems to play in the tragedy. But
rarely is a man in trouble that a
woman is not found ready to bend
her shoulder for the burden that the
man may be relieved

GAVE GOOD ADVICE.
l the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
Hon. S. G. McLendon in an address
before the State Agricultural Society
at Cuthbert gave the state, counties
and municipalities and, in fact, the
people generally some good advice.
It was ''pay as you 60" He was
talking about the present financial
condition of the state, Of the floating
debt that has been piled up by I'M
thinking and careless legislators and
the evils that flow from debts of
that sort.
Pay day comes along some time. 1t
is easy enough to contract debts but
pretty hard to pay them. Pay time
often comes when we are least able
to pay. Then there is worry and
sometimes disaster. The wise thing
to do is to keep out of debt-the wise
thing for states, counties and munic-
qualities as well as individuals. If
you haven't things you want wait
until you have the money with which
to pay for them. Then you will be
sure to avoid worry and disaster.
1t isn't meant that states, counties
and municipalities should not ever
issue bonds. That may be done
wisely under proper conditions. What
Mr.. McLendon meant was going in
debt without making due provision
for paying the obligation, and in u.s.
ing credit to the limit for all sorts
Of things that are not actually need
ed. PAY as you go" is a good motto
for states, counties and municipali-
ties as well as individuals to obey.
