Missed an Opportunity.

Eugene Maggi and wife of Zurich,
Switzerland, reputed to be worth ten
million dollars and regarded as the
wealthiest citizens of the mountain
Gus republic, committed suicide last
week merely because they were tired
of living, having found their exist
ence on this sphere to be wholly un-
interesting. Wilful self-destruction
constitutes a distressing incident I'M
der any circumstances, but the real
ization that these young people, only
reaching the prime of life and sur
rounded with unbounded opportuni-
ties for making others happy and
thus finding happiness for them
selves, failed to utilize them is a
on the social conditions
which make such cases possible. The
were childless, but if they had
the real parent heart they could
have easily become father and moth
er to young orphans who were doubt
less suffering in that country for lack
Of the necessities of life while these
rich citizens were dying by their own
hands because they were interested
neither in themselves nor in their
fellows.

A FREAK (?) FARMER.

From the Madisonian.
The Madisonian clipped the fol-
lowing unusual advertisement from
the last issue of the Oconee Enter
prise:
Il have for sale a fine lot Of
pigs; several thousand bundles of
fodder at $500 a hundred; 200
bushels of corn, $1.00 a bushel;
400 bales of nice corn slower, SIS
per ton, and a number of goats that
will go at prevailing prices. Il in
need of anything in this line write
or see J. T. Dickens, Bogart, Ca"
We suppose Mr.. Dickens may be
regarded by his fellow citizens Of
the splendid and prosperous county
of Oconee as just plain, ordinary
farmer. In Morgan county, howev-
er, he would probably be regarded
as a freak. The idea of any horny
handed son of toll" in this grand and
glorious old county of ours daring TO
offer anything for sale except cotton
Shades of Ell Whitney, BALKAN and
the slave traders! The impudence
of any man who dares break away
from the present aFl-cotton propa-
ganda-raising more cotton, buying
more mules to raise more cotton, and
so on ad infinTtum.
Seriously speaking, however, the
South needs more freak" farmers
like Mr.. Dickens, if she ever comes
into her own.

Just a Joke.

When Z. /. RaineY was repre-
sentative of Terrell county he in
troduced a bill to protect bull bats,
and now Representative Pickett Of
that county will seek to pass Dill
allowing buzzards to be killed
Which indicates that Terrell repre-
sentatives seek to bring under the
dominion of the law even the birds
of the air-Cuthbert Leader.
That the "buzzard" bill, which has
Just come athwart the legislative
sky, may be without rival and have
undisputed fame we desire to
say there was never a ball bat
bill. It was only a joke, started by
Tom 'Loyless, who was then on the
Atlanta Journals staff, and was ia
ken up by the other newspapers and
went the rounds.
Joke though it was, iG resulted in
the bull bat being protected by law
When the committee on agriculture
of that legislature took up the work
of revising the game law the bull bat
was included among the birds it was
made unlawful to kill, and ey
cry game law since that time has
protected this useful and harmless
friend of mankind.

THAT NEW JUDICIAL CIRCUIT.

From the Albany Herald.
Every now and then there appears
in some of the newspapers in this
region mention of a movement for a
new judicial circuit in which Dough-
erty county is included. Last week
The Dawson News had the following:
AN interesting rumor comes
from one of the counties of which 1t
is proposed to form a new judicial
circuit. According to this report,
for which no one yet seems to be
sponsor, it is proposed to form
new circuit of Dougherty and Cal
houn counties, now in the Albany
circuit. Lee in the Southwestern
circuit, and Terrell in the Pataula
circuit
"How the bar of Dawson and the
citizens of Terrell county will look
upon the movement, if it develops,
is not known.
The Calhoun County Courier Of
the current week reproduces the fore
going from The Dawson News, and
says:
'This is the first we have heard of
the rumor. While we have had no
expression from Calhoun county cit
liens we do not believe they will
approve of the new judicial circuit
as proposed in the above"
All that the Herald knows for
fact about the new circuit movement
is that the subject has been discuss
ed between a few lawyers. We have
never heard of anything in this con-
nection more significant than talk,
however, and as nobody appears to
be ready to come out in the open
and offer any reasons why new cir
cult should be created we are rather
inclined to believe that there is moth
ing more in it than mere talk.

Turning the Tables,

Tiff county is sending by the car
load Irish potatoes, beans, cucum-
beers, squashes and cabbage to Gin
cinnati and other markets.
The Triton Gazette says: ''Not
long ago vegetables were shipped to
Triton on nearly every express train.
Now the tables are turned. The
truck farmers have been very sue
cessful this year, and are shipping
vegetables every day."
TIL Macon Telegraph says; Or.
William Rawlings is shipping Irish
potatoes by the carload from his
farm near Sandersville The Irish
Cobbler and Bliss Triumph are his
early varieties"
Quantities of Irish potatoes and
onions have been shipped from Daw-
son, and The News is informed that
these and other commodities will be
grown for market on a larger scale
next year We are also informed
SudL tue La LuCIS VI AAOLua0, blOOhoy
Mitchell and Dougherty counties
have raised Irish potatoes for ship
ment for numbers of years, and MI.
Thad Glover of Sumter county says
he will soon have plenty of sweet
potatoes ready for the market.
Like news items are seen from
time to time in the newspapers of the
state, and is evidence that not quite
all of the Georgia farmers go to all
cotton and buy all their supplies,
despite the complaints that have
been heard.
However, as the Augusta Chroni-
Gle says, it is true that Georgia can
never hope to be rich and independ-
ent until she practically raises all of
her produce and stock,

Terrell county farmers are said
to be planning to plant i number OF
acres in alfalfa. Every effort should,
of course, be made to grow alfalfa in
Georgia, for big crops of alfalfa
would mean big herds of cattle. But
it cannot be grown at haphazard.

A Timely Warning,

In view of the fact that hundreds
of cattle are now being shipped from
South Georgia to the West a special
statement issued by the bureau OF
animal industry of the Department OF
Agriculture at Washington warning
the Southern states especially Geor-
gia. Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana
and Florida, against the wholesale
expectation of their cattle is timely
In the past twelve months, says
the statement, buyers from the Mid
die West have taken from this dis
trict thousands of animals, many OF
which go to the slaughter houses
when they should be retained for
breeding purposes
'Some of the people OF She South,
says the bureau, "seem glad that
these cattle are being shipped out
as the number of scrub cattle is be
ing reduced and the South will gel
better cattle as the result. They d(
not consider that if the shortage o
cattle is such as to cause buyers Il
come from the far West to buy thes'
scrub cattle for breeding purpose
the chances of Southern farmers re
filling their pastures with good cat
tie are indeed small, but where ar
these good breeding cattle to com
from at a reasonable price?"
The department experts point on
that the South is especially adapte
to the raising of cattle, because
the long grazing season, the mil
winters and the great varieties
Dasturage. For that reason it HI
made a special appeal to the Soutl
ern farmers to retain their breedir
herds.

The Sentence.

With what seeming flippancy often
come the words from the bench
which mean long years of punish
ment to him who is at variance with
the law. And how much upon the
digestion or the mood of the judge
depends the duration of the punish
ment. There are so many little
things besides his Offense which serve
to measure the months or the years
which must be served in expiation
The ambition of the prosecuting at
torney, the vindictiveness of the ar
resting officers, the mood of the
Judge. the mistaken demeanor of the
culprit before the bar-all or any of
these may mean the imposition OF
the laws limit, or amy mean the
temnering of justice with mercy.
The other day in Raleigh, n. c.,
man was sentenced to two years i'm
prisonment for participating in the
results of a robbery. Then the sher-
if produced two saws with which he
charged the prisoner with trying to
break jail while awaiting trial In
stantly the court changed the SEN
tence to five ytars
In other words, the culprit receiv-
ed a sentence of two years for rath-
er serious crime and an additional
three years for the very natural 81
tense of trying to gVoii going 10
trial. Perhaps experience justices
the severe punishment of those who
try to escape from prison, but
an effort to secure freedom by so sim
pie a means as saving the bars of a
cell window seems to the lay mind
more natural than criminal.

How to Succeed With Alfalfa.

start, even through their own negli
gence, the result will be that other
farmers will be wary of attempting
to grow it. If they succeed, however,
other farmers will begin to plant it
and in a short time there will be
plenty of it raised in South Georgia
to meet all demands for it in the
state.
Mississippi farmers, who have
studied alfalfa carefully, are growing
it successfully on a large scale. GeoT-
gia farmers should communicate with
Mississippi farmers and should also
ask for bulletins on alfalfa from the
state and national departments of
agriculture in order to be well in
formed as to what soils grow it best,
what preparation of the soil is need
ed for it and how it should be plant
ed. If they go at the raising of al
falfa in that way they are practically
sure to succeed. If they don't it
would not be surprising if they fail. "

From the Macon Telegraph.
According to the department OF
agriculture the prices Of meat ami
mails averaged 1917 per cent higher
on May Is than like date year ago;
27.7 per cent higher than two years
ago. The average price received by
producers were: June 1, 1913, corn,
60.6; June /, 1912, corn was 82;
1910, 6.52. The average for cotton
per pound June, 1911, f4.6; June,

May Is, 1913, $7.45; May, 1912,
1919; May 1911, $5.72; May, 1910,
$3.50. Beef cattle, per 700 pounds,
May Is, 1913, brought $e.16; in
1912, $5.56; in 1911, $4.59. So the
prices for 1913 encourage the farmer
to raise food and meat crops.
