Democrats Fully Organized.

" - - - - - . -
seven of the eleven towns OF Villas
county were represented at the Dem
ocractic Conference held yesterday !.
A great deal Of interest was mani
tested but most nOticeable was the
perfect harmony and party enth0si-
asm that peryaded the meeting.
AS may be seen by CHANGING at tsos
list Of names suggestess as candidates
for county official positions. the dis
Etribution is nearly geographically
perfect, and from the the fact that
but little attention has been paid to
the outside towns before, will cause
the ticket recommended to be fayora-
bly, received by outside Of Eagle Riv-
CT voters. Every man recommended
us personally popular with y large ac
tquaintance,. mot one has ever held a
county office. although perfeG5By quail

that won't hsaSti them any either.

Superintendent n. II. Ballard.

We hope sincerely that Superintend-
ent y. II. Ballard Of the Glynn coun-
Is schools, will reconsider his con
templated action and not tender his
resignation to the board Of education.
There is no real reason for this act
for we have investigated the situation
and we know that the members Of the
board do not wish Mr.. Ballard to leave
and the people OF the community gen
orally would regard his going in the
nature OF calamity. The differences
board-that is, if there are any-are
board that is if there is any-are
of trivial nature, where misunder-
standings, etc, have served TO place
the superintendent and the members
in rather an embarrassing attitude. A
little heart-to-heart talk between the
members Of the LEGAL board and super
intendcnt Ballard will easily clarity
the whole situation. remove the rough
places and please the people. Super
intendent Ballard has devoted fifteen
years of his life to the Brunswick
schools and he has placed them in
the very front rank of great Georgia
education institutions. He is easily
one Of the foremost educators in the
south and we must not lose him for
all Of the educational maps in the
country! Instead of the able superin-
tendent leaving the service of the
board of education, we are of the opin-
ion that the board ought to increase
his salary in the sum of not less than
$500 per year and give him absolute
power in the conduct of the schools.
Certainly, the people are deeply inter-
ested in the matter and we are quite
persuaded that they are squarely be
hind us in every sentence we have
stated. ''t
Keep Ballard on the rob and keep
him at all hazards!

TURKEY AN ''|DJUT'
At Least That Is the Opinion
Farmer Has of the Great
American Bird.
" OUSEWIVES contemplating the

tie realize the months of prep
aration which preceded the
feast. Their cranberries are on the
market. Turkeys, dressed and ready
for the oven; huge yellow pumpkins.
with the earth still clinging to their
gaudy sides; oranges, apples, grapes
and nuts all await the call of the epi-
cure.
A trip to a market gives the layman
an insight into the real business of
Thanksgiving, and incidentally a guam
tity of rural folk lore which is illu-
minating. Wandering around the wag-
ons which line the sidewalks of the
market space, reporter the other day
came upon an old resident of Virginia
"a man with whiskers and a nagnifi-
cent quid of tobacco and a small sup
ply of turkeys, the last named alive
and protesting vigorously against the
confinement of their crates.
After a little preliminary CONVEX
sation the old farmer dilated upon the
ways of the great American fete bird
and in his conversation knocked the
pedestal upon which the fowl is placed
sQuarely from under it's feet.

confided to the reporter. "They amt
nothin' in the world that I've ever
found that's as big an idjut as a tur-
key"
"In what way?" was asked.
'In every way" replied the farmer.
II believe that the words not sense
enough to come in out Of the rain was
written to describe a turkey. Did
you ever know, for instance, that a
turkey can drown itself during rain
storm?'
"What!" calculated the reporter.
Fact" said the farmer. Them
there birds hold up their heads during
a rainstorm exactly as if they was
trying to swallow the whole creation.
Naturally, they can't drink the entire
output. And / tell you as a fact,
that I've found cases where they man.
aged to drown themselves"
Continuing on the peculiarities of
the bird, the old man said:
They're helpless critters, too. Amt
got as much gumption about them as
q chicken. And frail-let me tell you,
young man. that a turkey is the great
est natural-bOrn invalid. in the world.
They have to be watched every minute
or the first thing you know they'll up
and die on you without a seconds
warning.
II been raisin' turkeys for years
and years-had good luck with 'em,
too. But reckon l don't understand
more than half about them. Nobody
does-particularly why the Creator,
when he made 'em, didn't give 'em
minds"
"Does that apply to wild turkeys as
well as the tame ones| asked the re-
porter.
The old man spat thoughtfully and
profusely at chip of wood in the
street. He hit the mark.
"As to that" he said, II can't exact
Iy say. "Mebbe there's something in
the idea that turkey, when he's tame,
gets SO used to havin' folks make a
fuss over him that he jest naturally
loses all his ambition. There's one
thing certain-if every wild turkey
was as big a fool as some that I've
raised there wouldn't be a live wild
turkey in the United States within a
year."-Washingto Star.

REPORT OF WORK OF
ARMY RELIEF SOCIETY.

There is a great deal of interest
in Pensacola in the work of the Army
Relief Society, whose annual enter
tainment at Fort Barrancas is a So
cial event of each spring season. Mrs.
w. C. Davis, wife of Colonel Davis,
commanding officer at the post, is
president of the Fort Barrancas
branch; Mrs. Donald Armstrong is
treasurer, and Mrs. Ellis Knowles
secretary.
The following report of the work
of the national organization was re-
Gently made by Mrs. Daniel S. La
mont, president of the National Asso-
citation, and is in part as follows:
The Army Relief Society is now in
its sixteenth year, having been organ
lied in April, 1900. During the past
year the efforts of the officers and
members of the board of managers
to reach all needy and worthy cases
have been greater than ever before,
and I feel satisfied with the result.
In the case of the first death during
the present expedition into Mexico the
prompt request of our chairman for
the address of his family elected en-
thusiastic endorsement of our work
by Colonel Slocum and the men of
his command. Investigation Of all
cases reported to us is done in a very
systematic and thorough manner; rec
ords of each case are kept. with the
names of the two vouchers, which
must always accompany each appli-
cation. Over fifty cases have been
given relief the past year; among
these are three widows who have
been helped continually since 1900 and
one since 1901. There are forty-two
children being educated BY the so4
eiety ut present; twenty-one Of these
are in public schools, the mothers he
ing given sufficient money to enable
them to keep the children at home.
You will be glad to know that the
finances of the society are in good
condition. the receipts from the
branches the past year having
equalled the expenses. showing the
excellent work done, as nearly all our
income this year is due to the efforts
of the officers of the different
branches. The new branch started in
Honolulu added nearly $1,000 to ouf
funds. We have not received as many
reports from special entertainments
this year as usual, owing in part to
the continued demands for assistance
in the warning countries.
The emergency payments in the
past year have amounted to nearly
| $1,000.
