Free Sheep.

Two weeks ago, we told brief
Iy the story of free sheep, the
animals to be given to farmers
oy an association of business men
Of the State in conjunction with
the State Agricultural Depart
nent. About five hundred farm
ers will be given ten pure bred
sheep each. For the farmers
care of the sheep he will receive
all the wool and half the lambs.
We have not heard of any move
to have part of the 5000 sheep
come to Fulton county. Other
counties are rushing in for their
share, why not have some here?
Have we positively no organiza-
tion through which the Agricul-
tural Department can act? Does
Fulton county propose to let every
,ffer ofsomething good slip away?
We know that a few men here
nave labored for years to get the
farmers together in an effective
organization, but one of them
said to us recently that he had
about despaired of ever accom-
plishing anything.

In Western states where women
vote, the men cut the value of their
own presidential ballots in half
when they gave their wives and
daughters the franchise. The
vote is double, but the electors
chosen remain unchanged. In
some Southern states the white
men doubled the value of their
own votes when they virtually
disfranchised the negro.
Complete official returns are not
yet reported for the last election,
but in 1912 South Carolina cast
only so, 34S votes. Pennsylvania
put in the ballot boxes for Wilson,
Taft and Roosevelt 1 ,22O, 900 votes.
But South Carolina got nine bal
lots in the electoral college and
Pennsylvania but SO, although Pen
nsylvania had "a times as many
voters as the Palmetto state. In
choosing president, South Carolina
was therefore about six times as
potent per man as Pennsy lvania.

Cupid failed to exert himself in
this city during the past year as
the report of licenses issued by
Deputy Clerk of the Court Schaefer
shows. The books have gone to
headquarters at Duluth for check
ing and will be returned as soon
as this is done. In the mean
time those wishing to secure licenses
will be compelled to 60 out of town
or put off the momentous event un-
til the books are returned. The
records show that only 43 licenses
were issued in this city the past
year. 1t is expected that after the
European war this record will be
largely increased.

covers that the South, when it

about per cent of proportionate
