CREAMERY NOTES

Elgin butter market, 80 cents, same
as last week. One year ago was 27S
Good butter very firm, undergrades,
poor sale, and there is an over supply
of poor butter. This poor butter il
made from cream that has been held
too long after souring. Such butter
causes money loss to the farmer anC
the merchant that handles it. No one
wants poor butter. but rather the best
that can be had at all times.

long ago by the individual man, that
woman can make a heap of trouble, if
she doesn't get what she wants."
The Herald probably is right about
woman's suffrage in Georgia not being
Immediately in sight, and yet it has
been stated that a bill looking to that
very thing win be offered in the next
house of representatives, and that a
very serious effort to pass it will be
made.
Womans suffrage in Georgia will
have to come, when it does come, by
way of a constitutional amendment,
and therefore. it will have to pass the
legislature by two thirds vote of both
houses. After that, it must be sub
mitted to the people for ratification or
rejection, requiring only a majority
vote of the electorate, however to
make it effective.
That is rather a long, rough and
rugged road to travel, of course, and
the primary impulse is to say that no
bill providing for woman's suffrage in
Georgia can pass-at least, not in the
next legislature.
1t is fact however, that wherever
woman's suffrage has been agitated it
has made some progress. Here and
there the women have asked for much
in the line of suffrage. and. while it is
true that they usually have been denied
the full measure of their petitions in all
places, it also is true that every effort
to go forward has resulted in some ap-
preciable gain.
Wherefore, it may be argued that
while the forthcoming agitation in the
Georgia Legislature may not win much
to the women in the way of the right
to vote generally, it may win them
something-and likely will be the en-
tering wedge to great accomplishments
in the future.

Governor Brown is a friend of the
farmer in more ways than one-he is
the farmers friend in little things no
less than in big ones.
Recently he refused to honor requi-
sition for a Jackson county man, de
sired" in North Carolina, upon charge
arising from the fact that the man
desired" put it all over some North
Carolina person engaging with him in
d horse swap"
The governor planted himself firmly
upon the ground that it not only was
not wrong to come out ahead in q horse
trade, but positively wrong not to.
The governor argued that any man
who got left in a horse swap with u
Georgia farmer merely received that
which he might have expected in the
first place-wherefore the requisition
did not issue,
AS a matter of fact, the governor
steadfastly refuses to permit the en-
pIoyment of the requisition laws for
the purpose of collecting debts.

The season for renewing licenses ends

last years licenses, even if not re-
newed, may continue to hunt until

Colonel Mercer says the game iaWs
have been more generally and more
willingly observed this year than ever
before and that the results are appar-
ent. He says birds have been more
plentiful this season than III many
years. and that next year they should
be much more numerous.
