The First Bloom.

The first cotton bloom of the year
came to The Falcon on last Saturday
morning, the 10 of the month, one day
later than the first bloom last year.
The first one was brought in by |. ],
Persons, colored farmer who lives
near Warren. The first last year was
brought in by John Bryant who lives on
the R. L. Day plantation near SOmer-
vile, and Bryant brought the second
bloom of the present year in to us on
Monday morning. The third was sent
in by Hon. F. j. McRee and was grown
by j. H. Bobbitt of Macon.
Following a custom of several years,
we are crediting |. j. Persons with
years subscription to The Falcon.
The crop is reported from every sec-
ton Of the county to be extra good and
altho the first bloom is day later than
the first last year the crop is said to be
at least as well advanced as last year
with conditions very much more favor
able than at that time. Both cotton
and corn crops are said to be most
promising thruout the entire county
now and all reports coming to US are
most favorable.

1t is thought that, on account of
there being so many candidates, it will
be difficult to elect Register at the
next meeting of the county court. If
every magistrate is present and voting
it will take eighteen votes to elect. 1t
takes one member of the court to
nominate and another to second each
nomination, and magistrate could not
very consistently nominate or second
more than one candidate, and having
nominated or seconed a candidate, to be
consistent he would have to vote for
him. If only ten Of the large number
of candidates are entered and their two
magistrates stick to them no one could
be elected. If there were only five
that remained and four of the five con-
tinued to receive only five votes each
no one could be elected. You cannot
drop the hindmost man, How about
the four magistrates who are candi-
dates themselves? How are they GO
ing to vote? Are they going to vote
for themselves (they can legally do
SOY? If they do not vote and all
are present and voting it will take
sixteen votes to elect. How long
are they going to stay there? They
may become dead-locked and may
have to stay several days to decide it.
