ALetter from a Farmer

Fitzgerald, Ga, Sept. IL, 10.
Editor Leader-Enterprise.
You will please pardon me for
writing on this much discussed
subject, however, we think it the
most serious business proposition
that confronts us all right at this
time.
In the year of 1892 there was a
small band of Mexican bandits
crossed the Rio Grande away
down about Brownsville, Texas.
This is quite good ways off and
we didn't think seriously of their
invading Our country, but not so,
on or about the first day of this
month they landed in our cotton
field and now we are to try the
realities of the Mexican cotton
boil weevil. Well, what you will
SAY is, what are you going to do
about it? We confess right now
that we hardly know.
/. Some advise putting in more
hogs and cows and we admit that
we have made a little from these
industries, but when we come to
think seriously about this it was
the cotton laboring man that con-
sumes these products. Possibly
some may say, Oh, we'll, we will
ship the products. What we want
to know is where to? To the
north of us they already have a
surplus of these commodities; to
the west we guess they will have
by the time we could make it, if
not we guess they haven't much
with which to buy unless we'd
take it in boil weevils and we are
sure by that time we'll have
plenty of them ourselves.
So far as the farmer is concern
ed, he can go way back before
the days of any railroads in this
country and make everything he
consumes except his salt. OF
course this would be pretty hard
but necessity will force people to
do hard things.
We hear some say, Oh, you have
got scared too soon, you can
make zone more" cotton crop al
right. To this we wish to say it
was zone more drink" that caus-
ed the fellow to get. drunk and
lose his job, but we have got to
do something. We intend to plant
"a good acreage, to grain this fall,
and in the spring big crop of le-
gumes will gradually increase our
live stock, that is, sows, hogs and
poultry, and we would like to put
in few sheep, but you know, we
cotton farmers have to have one
to three ours and we know they

SOMETHING ABOUT OUR +.
NEW CHIEF EXECUTIVE

Continued from Page One.(
Atlanta lawyers. Mr.. Dorsey has
one sister, Mrs. S. B. Vow, of La
vonia, Ga.
The governor-elect went to
school in Fayetteville and Atlanta
and graduated from the Univer-
sity of Georgia in 1893, and took
a law course at the University of
Virginia, after which he entered
the law of Dorsey, Brewster,
Howell & Heyman, of which he
has been a member since. He was
appointed solciitor-general of Full
tom Superior Court by Governor
Brown in October, 1910, to fill the
unexpired term of the famous
Charles d. Hill, who recently
died. At the next election he was
elected for the full term.
Mr.. Dorsey's Statement
After his sweeping victory in

and many counties conservatively
counted as doubtful have cast
their vote for me.
My nomination appears certain,
as the result of the primary, be-
yond the possibility of convention
interference.

the voters of Georgia for this ex-.
preston of confidence and ap-
provai, | do not regard the result
of the primary as personal vic

proval of all the principles upon
which my campaign was based,
and most of all it means that the
people of Georgia are determined
to manage their own affairs and
to see that their laws are fearless
ly and impartially enforced by
their public servants.
The campaign has left no i'm
press OF bitterness on my mind.
and | shall invoke with confidence
and good faith the cooperation Of
all good citizens of Georgia in my
efforts to carry into practical and

ciples which mean so much to the

BEAUTY NOT AT FIRST SEEN
Makers of Furniture Were Slow to
Recognize the Supreme Worth OF
Mahogany Wood.

Like the use of a great many or TIE
factors connected with the arts and
the sciences, the discovery OF the
beauty of the grain of mahogany for
furniture was accidental, says Lon
don contemporary. The story goes
that a certain West Indian captain
who had brought back to England
some planks of mahogany as ballast
decided to give the wood to his broth
er. a Doctor Gibbons, then building a
house on King street, Covent Garden.
But the planks were so hard that
the carpenters objected, and the plan
for using them fell through.
Some time later Mrs. Gibbons want
ed a small box made, and the doctor
sent the mahogany to cabinetmaker.
In his turn the cabinetmaker objected
to the hardness of the wood, but the
doctor persisted so much in his re-
quest that the order was finally e3-
ecuted.
The finished box polished so nicely
that the doctor ordered bureau made
of the same wood. The cabinetmaker
displayed that in his shop window be-
fore delivering it. The duchess OF
Buckingham saw it and begged enough
wood from the doctor to have it duph-
Gated, and mahogany furniture soon
after came into favor.

GREATEST OF ICE PALACES
That Constructed by the Czarina Anne
of Russia Is Conceded to Have
Eeen the Finest.

Ice for architectural purposes is
used with wonderful results in north
ern countries. Probably the most
remarkable building constructed
wholly of ice was the palace built on
the Neva by the Czarina Anne of Rus
STA. Large blocks of ice were cut
and squared with great care and laid
on one another by skillful masons,
who cemented the joints with water,
which Immediately froZe. The build
ing, when completed, was Sc feet long,
17% feet broad and 81 feet high. 1t
was of but one story. The facade
contained q door surmounted by an
ornamental pediment, and six win
dows, the frames and panes of which
were all of ice. An elaborate balus-
trade adorned with statues ran along
the top of the facade, and another bal
ustrade surrounded the building at
the level of the ground. The ground
was further adorned with life-size
figure of an elephant, with his mahout
on his back. A stream of water was
thrown from the elephants trunk by
day and flame of naphtha by night.
A tent of ice contained hot bath,
in which persons actually bathed.
There were also several cannons and
mortars of ice, which were loaded
with bullets of ice and iron and dis
charged.

MANS nsaT TO TIE BIRDS
Matter Than is Worth a Great Deal
More Consideration Than 1t Has

Why should birds fear human be.
ing? They have no fear of the horse
or COW. There are birds that even
light on the back Of COW and de-
your the flies that are troublesome.
If mankind were kind and thoughtful
of the rights of birds what pleasure
it might be. Every small boy and girl
should be taught to love all birds and
never to disturb or brighten. Their
companionship and their songs more
than repay the little fruit or grain
that they eat. And we cannot forget
that but for the aid of the birds we
could not have fruit or grain. THE

Home Partnership.

The president OF a woinans college
in the United States believes that
every woman should be brought up to
earn her own living, it necessary, but
adds: 81 am not willing to say that
a wife and mother in home does
not earn hers. l believe that in most
cases she does. The average mar
riage is a partnership, in which the
wife does her share in keeping up
the home and caring in it for the chill
dren, and the children belong equally
to the man and woman, and are their
joint responsibility.
81 certainly do want women to have
all their rights. What look forward
to is the day when no woman shall
be at a disadvantage, because of her
sex, and when no woman shall be
able to take an unfair advantage be-
cause OF it. Botn conditions exist
today, and each is necessary corol-
larry OF the otner,"
