Considerable interest has been
manifested in this county in the race
for state treasurer. Mr. Speer, the
present treasurer is opposed by Mr.
NJ. W. Fakes, of Conyers. Leonard
Fem, whom Mr.. Speer appointed to
the position of State Bank Examiner
is Cordele boy, having lived in this
county all his life, and it would be
hard to find a more popular young
man In the county than Leonard Fem
and his many friends have concluded
to help him elect Mr. Speer in this
race in return for the compliment
Mr. Speer paid him in appointing
him to this responsible position. Be
sides it was a recognition to Crisp
county, which they feel should in
like turn be remembered and Tecog
nized.

The Georgia Bankers Association
has taken up education for the farm
er. Fifteen young men now and thir-
ty later are to enjoy the benefits Of
scholarship and expense attaching to
a course in one of the agricultural
colleges of the state the coming year
and the bankers are footing the bill.
This is more than commendable. 1t
is a move that will be remembered,
and those who step up to better things
through the training in this manner
provided are going to turn the invest
ment into intellectual advancement.

The state has never had a better
school commissioner than M. L. Brit
tian, nor one who has been in closer
touch and thorough understanding and
sympathy with the public school sys
TEN, but he, too, has opposition. The
school people, however, know Mr.. Brit
tan and his great worth to the state
and they are supporting him hear
tily. To lose Mr.. Britain would mean
a set back to the whole system of the
state

One of the meanest little things a

superintendent as against a man OF

months old couldn't beat that editor

The election will soon be over and
the people can draw a sigh of relief
and feel glad that another nuisance
has passed, even if there are other
things and the boil weevil to pes
ter and disturb our happiness and Sc
renity, but we cannot have satisfac-
ton and contentment only in fraction
al parts, and if it were not for the
other things and the boil weevil we
might get too serene; so we will all
have to fight the boil weevil and es-
pecially the other things. and be con-
tent with sunshine and sixteen cents
cotton, and the knowledge that it viii
be two long years before we have to
go through the ordeal of politics
again. Politics has to be, and of
course it will always be just politics,
and we all know what it is-the name
is expressive enough.

PEANUTS AGAIN.

When Candidate Jim Price wasn't
running so hard for his Office some
months back, among the many thing
he investigated for the benefit of tho
Georgia farmers was peanut growing
From bulletin issued from his once
we get the following information:
"Mr. w. H. Kelly, of Cleveland,
Ohio. head of what is said to be
n the largest establishment in the
world manufacturing peanut pro-
ducts only, said; If the farmers
of Texas would grow $25,0O0000
worth of peanuts this year they
would find a ready market for
them. We are importing peanuts
today from North Africa, East In
dia, Spain, China, and Japan. We
s. want American peanuts if we can
get them. We have today six hun
dred carloads coming from the
Far East and could use as many
more if we could get them
.--. This is a ringing statement of
Eactual consumer 1t is worth the a
tention of the farmer Weevil or
aa weevil, the peanut will beat cotton
mile as money crop. 1t is possbl
here in Crisp county to grow as muC
! x(as two hundred bushels to the acre
But if this is overstating it, say sew,
-.-- enty=fye per cent of this estimate ca
be produced Then we have more i,
the acre of peanuts than ever coul
,-s be had in cotton on the same groun
I / and the labor, fertilizer cultivatinr
harvesting, and preparing for marke
is hardly half as costly.
The value of the peanut is increaF
ing with the value of cotton seed. Th
demand can never be supplied, fo
the oil from the peanut is rapidly tai
ing the place of the cotton oils an
the olive oils of the costlier grades
and the beauty about it is the contip-
ued report that the peanut oil stands
the test better than the other on
where oils are needed for food pro
ducts.
Next season will bring with it much
stronger demand for the peanut. for
mill after mill in the south is makini
preparation to use the peanut in man
ufacturing food products. No planter
will make a mistake to go full lengtl
into peanut growing. The crop is al
easy one The money value is large
The profits are handsome. The day is
here when opportunity Of this kind
should not be permitted to pass. Pea
nut growing promises to become
great industry and the farmers OF
Crisp will make no mistake to study
and take advantage. 1t is a nigh"
cut to independence.

1t seems from present indications
that the governorship is badly mixed
with possibly Harris and Dorsey in
the lead in this county Hardman and
Pottle have many friends who feel
that their favorites are gaining too.
There is none of the old time enthu-
siasm in any of the races, and the
suspicion is that the people have about
concluded that they will have a gov
ernor whoever may be elected, and
that few would know the difference
