To the People of Georgia: I am

would gratefully appreciate your
endorsement at the polls in the COM
ing primary. Thanking you for the
support and confidence extended me
heretofore, l earnestly solicit your
further kind consideration of my can

specially. w. j. SPEER.

DR.. Harris, of the State Board of
Health, would declare war on rats,
just as the plague-scared cities of the
coast have done, and wants the legis-
lature to appropriate enough money
to chase all the rats into the ocean
or exterminate them some other way.
There is a good job here for some
modern Pied Piper of Hamiltown
to prove his ability and at the same
time make a fortune. There is no
need for alarm in Georgia at this
time.

ADVANTAGES OF A LITTLE FARM
rom the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
Big farming is not necessarily
wasteful, but it often is much more
so than small farming, because the
small farmer, planting only as much
land as he personally, with his sons
and a hired hand or two constantly
under his eye, can cultivate, tries to
make every foot of the land yield to
its limit.
What can be done with a small
plot is shown by the results achieved
by J. T. Neiswander and his two sons
on their eighteen-acre farm on the
White Bluff road. They came to
Chatham county two years ago, and
have made good. They did not take
on a bigger contract than they could
fulfill. They can keep watchful eye
on the whole eighteen acres and cul-
tivate it, keep out the grass, and at
tend to it properly in every way and
it is not remarkable that they are
getting gooG results.
In the Kansas City Star appears
the story of C. w. Pollard, who owns
ten acres of land and supports him
self, his wife and nine children. The
secret of how he does it is found in
intensive farming. He does not
waste any of his land. He makes
it all yield every grain and leaf and
berry that it can.
He used to be general farmer,
owned and farmed $50 acres and he
says he has made more on ten acres
every year in the last dozen than he
made on the 100 acres in any year he
farmed them. He says that the small
farmer guards against the little leaks
and the general waste here and there
that the general farmer never no
tees. That's one reason, he says,
why small farming is more econom-
ical and pays proportiOnately more
than general farming.
Georgia needs more small farmers.
Her farms are not going to produce
what they should until there are
more 20-acre farmers scattered
throughout the state, more men who
like ]. T. Neiswander and his sons
are content to work hard on a few
acres. They are getting a good liv-
ing because they guard against small
leaks and waste and coax the soil into
yielding bounteously.

HE WAS ALSO CAUTIOUS.

From Harper's Magazine.
A carpenter, sent to make some
repairs in a private house, entered
the apartment of the lady of the
house with his apprentice and began
to work
Mary" said the lady to her maid,
tsee that my jewel case is locked up
at once!"
The carpenter understood. He re-
moved his watch and chain from his
vest in a significant manner and
handed them to his apprentice.
John said he, take these right
back to the shop. 1t seems that this
house isn't safe"

SUBSTANTIAL CITIZENS.

From the Fort Valley Leader.
1t is a pleasure to note that there
are more classes of substantial citi-
zens than one. Usually You viii I'M
derstand, when this term is applied,
that a man has a good business and
is well fixed financially, has store,
bank, farm, office or manufacturing
plant, and is a man of prominence.
But in looking about we find that
there are other classes of substantial
citizens. And they are cutting con-
siderable figure, too.
Look at the boys in the town who
hold positions of responsibility with
the business houses. They are at
their work early and late, and they
are making good. Don't care wheth-
er they are sent to haul a box on the
trucks or to wrap package of candy
for a young lady or to take the days
deposits to the bank, they are on the
job and they are reliable. Tnev are
not only learning, but they are MAX
ing the business of this town posi-
BILE. There are a lot of them, too.
Find them in nearly every store in
town. Fact is, it takes their leg-a-
bility to make things go. Hats off
to the bright, jolly, energetic, honor
able boys, who are making Fort Val
ley exceedingly proud of them.
Then there is another class. While
they can't vote (and we sine 9"ely
hope they never cam they are c''r-
tainly one of the great forces in the
town. We refer to the ladies who
are earning their living in the diff
ferent business houses and offices in
the city. They are a lot of girls
and young ladies and older women
of whom any town might be proud.
We wish to offer them the encOur-
agement to which they are entitled,
and say to them what they are and
what they are doing is appreciated.

FEMALE CHURCHES.

Editor Dawson News: Looking
over the congregations of the average
churches these days and noting the
fact that seventy-five to ninety per
cent of them are composed of ladies
one would naturally conclude that
they are female churches. What are
the excuses the men offer? Will they
stand the light of truth? Will these
excuses stand at the Judgment? The
church needs men, real men, to take
their places in the congregations and
elsewhere. A MAN.

set is drafting bill which will create
