Farmer Gains by War.

In discussing the present condi-
tons one of the leading farmers of
Brooks county said
IF the farmers Of Georgia woulda
use little judgment our state would
soon he the richest, the most prosper
Gus and most independent state il
America. l expected to get twelve
cents for my cotton, and if l only get
nine cents l will lose one THOUSAND
dollars on my expected receipts from
my cotton crop. But, if I make as
much syrup as last year, l will get
an increase of about six hundred and
seventy dollars on my syrup crop as
& result of the war, and if meat in
creases only three cents per pound,
will get an increase of over seven hun
dred dollars on my meat product Thus
while the war has decreased my ex-
pected revenue on cotton, the war has
really added three hundred dollars to
my expected revenue.
Now, this ought to be strikin :
illustration Of what crop diversified
ton will do for the farmer. Instead
Of being hurt by present conditions !
am benefited, even figuring that l will
only get nine cents for my cotton,
and l intend to hold same. The man
who depends on any one crop or any
enc farm product is worse gambler
than the man who plays the stoc
market"
The above incident explains why
the farmers of Brooks county are not
seriously disturbed over present condi-
tons. The majority Of farmers Ct the
county have equally as much at stake
in the price of food stufs as they
have in the price Of cotton.

The farmers of Brooks, one of the
best of south Georgia counties, but no
better, agriculturally, than Sumter
if as good-met in convention a day
or two ago and adopted the following
resolutions, which the Times-Recorder
takes pleasure in submitting to the
consideration of Sumter's progressive
farmers:
Whereas, The present demoralizcl
condition of business in the South,
due largely to the depression of the
cotton market, is a striking illustra-
ton of the folly OF a slave-like de-
votion to the one-crop propaganda so
long practiced by the people of the
South; therefore, be it resolved:
First-That we urge the people of
Geoyg ia especially to break away
from cotton as a single crop and to
raise meat and grow other products,
not only in sufficient amount to sup
ply their owr needs, but to have d
surplus for sale.
Second-That we invite as proof
of the wisdom of this course a close
investigation of the condition in
Brooks county where the raising of
meat and the growing of corn and
other crops has reached the highest
point of efficiency in the South.
Third-That We heartily endor je
and commend the prompt action Of
the Georgia Chamber of Commerce,
in the present crisis, in endeavoring
to increase the Investigation of
crops in Georgia, and any others
working along the same line, be-
lieving that if they are successful ia

single crop idea, that Georgia will
become the richest and most indie

things with the Declaration of Independence
 The politician uses party loyalty cement but the voter it a substitute for brains If a voter has enough party loyalty he get along without thinking at all This is great convenience for the voter but it is greater blessing for the politician who is using his party for revenue only, and who would be sadly bothered if all the voters insisted doing their own thinking before voting.
 Party loyalty holds the party together in ad- versity and enables it to sweep gloriously to vic tory later Sometimes 1t sweeps to victory like a crusaders vessel and sometimes like a pirate ship, but the who is afflicted with party oy- atty doesn't care how it cruises, just it gets there.
 The man who has party loyalty in it's paresis state believes that in his party be bad and that man in another party can be very good He knows the difference between right and wrong, but believes that whatever wrong his party does is right He hates Wickedness and graft, but

Conviets on Public Work

Governor Hunt is being attacked by his political opponents and is being praised by his political friends for having decided to withdraw convicts from the roads and other public work to make room for men out of employment The enemies of the gov ernor see in his decision very apparent political trick His friends regard it a philanthropic mani- festation. We are inclined to believe that the gov- ernor should be the subject of neither censure nor praise.
 The governor is too astute a politician to be- lieve that on the very of the primaries a de- cison that ought to have been reached long before could do him great deal of good. There are many in Arizona who have not been sent to the peni- tentary who of work and who need it more than the convicts do. For that matter, ever since the governor set the convicts at work, more than three years ago. there have been many men who needed employment. We have informed by laboring men that last winter there were 400 free and unconvicted citizens in Phoenix alone who were without work the of living It is right now that preference should be given by the state to such citizens and it was right then and has been right ever since convcts were at the work that unemployed citizens should have had
 The employment of the convicts was only fad in the beginning unprofitabe not an expensive one It was perhaps not the expectation the gov ernor that the employment of the convicts would be of any advantage the taxpayers. It was a part of the governors upft plan. He believed that it would be better for the convicts to work on the roads and bridges than remain in ideness in the prison Whether not this uplifting effect has been accomplished cannot say, but it has been amply demonstrated that financial expedient it has not been profitable. The governor, therefore. de- serves neither praise censure for abandoning 1t. He would, however. be deserving of severe censure by both the taxpayers and the aboring Of the state if after the primaries the general election, he should the convicts in the place labor again

WHEN ALL YOUR CHILDREN ARE GONE

In the September American Magazine man who has been married twenty-five years writes "A Husbands Story in which he relates the exper- fences he and his wife had in bringing up their children. As is the habit with fathers and moth- they made all of plans for their children, most of which were realized because the children, is usual took affairs into their hands and made and executed their plans. On the futility of trying to arrange things for yoru children the author says in conclusion
 50 all planning for the children merely served to prove that it is futile strive range the lives of others, and that the function of the parent is chiefly advisory Nor much disappointed the failure of plans. After all, what sought their happiness and welfare and that they found them in ways other than those devised makes little difference.

The Price of Wool, Etc.

We defending Schedule K of the Payne Aldrich law which President Taft admitted was indefensible But believe that the Copper Era is finding fault with it improper grounds when it shows with some jubation that wool is two higher under the tariff law than under the iniqutous Schedule of the old law. To pro- claim that the higher price of wool is traceable to reduced duties is subversive of the democratic tention that the old tariff law had much if al to do with the high cost of living.
 Events beyond the operation of tariff laws are fixing have fixed the prices of wool and many other commodities. The Balkan war, for instance, made it unnecessary for the present legisate regarding the price of wool. which would be about the in this country under prohbitve tariff law it would be under free trade.

Party Loyalty
By GEORGE FITCH Author of At Good Old Siwash"

Party loyalty is the glue which binds the voter to the politician. It is the chief stock in trade of the latter. Without party loyalty he would be as helpless a mason without mortar. Whenever politicians voters drop off of him he is a gone gosng and has to spend the rest of his life work ing. Therefore party loyalty means more to the politician than the ten commandments the con- stuton or Roberts rules of order He get along without all of these, but without party loyalty he can't make the voters stick to him while he fixes conventions, ignores platforms and does hu-

Fatally Mixed Military Plans

It is not necessary that should be military expert to one at least why the allies defeated by the Germans in the first great battle. IL is reason at the time why the allies could not have hoped to avoid defeat. In the "explana- tory dispatches of the French Monday. it stated that the attack upon the German front made after having taken precautions against mshap. French Ambassador Jusseraud Tuesday said: Tn view of possible failure, chose a tain line of defense and that line stand It the offensive which failed but knew it might fail and provided line of occupation" The French military commander after having laid such plans, should have known not only that they might fail but that they certainly would fail. No army fight when it enters the fight with thought of retreating. An individual fight effectively when he is looking back his shoulder for way to make his escape.
 General Grant was the ablest commander in of fensive operations this country has produced. His battle plans arranged frequently with seeming reckessness and want of preparation for contingencies Members of his staff rernonstrated with him on the eve of Pttsburg Landing In case of defeat, they told him, transports for recrossng the Tennessee were inadequate. Grant replied: We do not intend to the river. But if we are forced to it, there will be enough transports all that will be left of us' Grant surprised by General A. s. Johnston and forced back the river. but he did not cross crushing defeat administered to the confederates at Shiloh.
 We can easily believe that another commander who would have taken the precaution to provide sufficient transports and who would have been prised by able general Johnston and driven to the rivr would have made of his transports and Shiloh would not have been fought and
 Napoleon, who alomst invariably attacked, and usually with numerically inferior forces to have made any arrangement for the contingency defeat His genius was employed in devising means Of going forward and not backward; in preparing to reap the fruits of victory rather than in plans to extricate himself from the wreckage of defeat.
 The reckless military leader may produce dis aster. The over-cautous leader is certain to pro- duce futlity. and futlity in the end is disaster.

Miss Doris Haskell Displays
Brilliant Work for Cony.
Freeport Team Puts Up Stubborn
Defence, But Is vutclassed.

With a young lady on the team VINO
could certainly show some OF the men
who compose teams throughout the state
a thing or two, especially In shooting
fouls. the Cony girls basketball sextet
kept I'D their winning streak Saturday
afternoon when they took the Freeport
girls into camp by final score of IS to s..
The game was played in Assembly hall,
High school building, before large au-
dience. 1t was the best exhibition OF
girls playing ever witnesses In TINS city
and was a game that those VINO were
fortunate enough to watch will not Tor
get for time. Outplaying their oppoh-
ents in every part of the game, the Cony
girls were able to win by decisive
score.
CAPTAIN Fogg of the Freeport team won
the toss of the coin and for the hrst
half chose to defend the basket at the
south end of the hail. From the minute
the whistle blew for the game to begin
the Cony girls started like a whirlwind,
their nassing was spectacular and their
defensive work brilliant In the first Pc
Rod neither team succeeded in caging a
goal from floor, but Doris Haskell, the
toned in the opening paragraph, was
right there on the fouls. Out of seven
chances she threw every basket, re-
markable feat, stunt that would even
make the sure shot Bill Skinner OF the
champion Wassitt aggregation take back
to the woods. The first period ended
to 1 with Cony on the big end
In the second period Miss Groves re-
placed Miss Merrill at side center Tor
Freeport. The down-river girls, although
they exerted to the. limit, failed to break
I'D the line of attack of the Cony girls
and consequently failed to cut down the
lead. This period ended Cony II, Free
port 8.
In the final 10 minutes of play Cony
showed better team work still Miss Has
kell threw two goals from floor and Miss
Capen, who replaced Miss Thompson,
also contributed one to the tally MISS
Thompson played an excellent passing
game but had hard luck in trying 10
cage the leather, something out OF the
ordinary for her. Out of 10 tries for foul
goals Miss Haskell placed 10 inside the
netting. Every time she threw for bas-
ket the building would shake with ap-
plause. There was even talk once OF
Disgusting her as a boy and allowing her
to shoot fouls for the Senators, as this
team has not a player In its lineup who
has a look In with this young lady

Cony has. fast team the fastest that
the school has ever had, with no excep-
ton. They have beaten Deering High
decisively, played Portland High to
tie. and should have won only for lit
tie raw deal on the part of the referee.
and better still they are out for the
State championship.
