The Observer says:
We have received some govern
ment seed through Senator Hoke
Smith. If they rise up as Mr..
Smith has and make as good prod
ucts in the vegetable kingdom as
he has a statesman in the world of
political affairs, we shall be emf
nently pleased. There are dis
gruntled ones who criticIse Mr.
Smith for distributing free govern
ment seed, but the same soreheads
would do likewise were they in his
position.
Anyway, whether the "soreheads"
would distribute the seed If they had
the opportunity, or convert them to
own use. or let them go to ruin, or what
not, It is a fact that all Georgia con-
gressmen send out their allotment
faithfully and regularly-eYen If some

the failure of the state Of Georgia TO
pay its school teachers promptly never
has embarrassed the teachers in the
slightest in Franklin county. The Times
says the local board Of education al
ways has managed to finance the teach
ers In such wise that neither they nor
the county loses a cent in the distribu-
tion Of the funds, and that the teachers
always are paid promptly in Franklin
The Times says. moreover, that tn,
fact that the county board IS so careful,

reason why Franklin VIGOROUSLY has

Franklin Is to be congratulated upon
having such a business-like board Of
education.

the Carolinas, is that Georgia's fire
losses are about the highest in the
South, whereas the losses in the Caro-
linas have been reduced to a minimum.
Insurance men account for this in
various ways, but all agree that the
most important reason is the hostility
of the courts in the Carolinas to the
"hrebugs" or incendiaries
How many incendiaries were sent up
in Georgia last year? 1t is doubtful
whether anybody can recall as many as
two. If there we're that many sent up,
the records Immediately available fail
to show as much.

trary. &c "frebugs" went to the peni-
Tertiary last year.

If cap" Joyner succeeds in the work
he is undertaking. and the companies

losses, the companies will reduce their
charges accordingly.
