Hon. Joe Lawrence, editor of The
Wiregrass Farmer, of Ashburn, is be-
ing urged as one of the delegates from
the Third district to the national dem
ocratic convention. Editor Lawrence
is a man of the highest character, able
and popular, and is one of the wheel
horses of democracy in this section.
He is worthy of the honor and it will
probably be accorded him without Sc
rious opposition. The News would be
clad to see him elected unanimously

Here's sad news ror the dope low
ers: The price of bottled dope, or
temperance drinks, is going up on ac-
count of the war and the fact that
Uncle Asa and the other mixers need
the mon. 1t is said that the possibili-
ty is that dope will cost six cents a
bottle before the Whippoorwills cease
chirping this summer And think of
it, too, with real prohibition only
three weeks off-Lyons Progress.

At present the farmer is selling his
meat at s cents per pound net, while
his neighbor who has to buy meat is
paying II cents per pound for it. This
one-sided situation demonstrates with
great force the urgent necessity for a
local meat-curing plant where the
farmer can bring his dressed meat and
have it cured for the market at cost
of something like 2 cents per pound
thus saving seven cents per pound

Germany has found to its sorrow
that France of today is not the France
of 1870. The French have bad to
witstand the brunt of the recent
fighting in Europe principally from
the fact that the Germans found them
such easy pray in the late war that
it is impossible for the Kaiser's men
to bring themselves around to ac-
cept the new view of the French.

The Danger Of LynChing.

In much OF the district where Judge
Emory Speer serves, the people know
as much of his love of power and cere
mony as they do of his great ability
as a jurist. The one they hate. the
other they admire in spite of every
thing. In an address to an Augusta
jury the other day Judge Speer made
caustic reference to the failure of su
perior court judges to do their duty
in the punishment and checking OF
lynching in Georgia.

of federal judge to get in behind

atmosphere is all different. He knows
the community we'll He knows the
other two towns,-called them by
name in his conversation. He said the
business houses here seem willing to
go after the business and hustle for it.
And it is true. But let us determine
to go after new business every day.
One of our large stores had custo-
mer come in from dangerously near
Albany one day last week and pur-
chase FIVE new Easter hats. That mer-
chant had been after that business and
he deserved it, 1t made us feel good
to see him get it. He made his Gus
toner feel like he appreciated the bus
mess. The whole transaction took
place while a lazy competitor was
wearing out counter in nearby store
cussing the hard times.
There is no end to the competition
we have to meet in this time. 1t takes
work to keep up. 1t takes business
study and skill to forge ahead. The
dead ones fall out quickly. We have
an abundance of trade in our terri
tory,-enough to make our town three
times as large as it is.
The one idea of service to his Gus
toner will save the business man
when nothing else will do so well.
One thing the mail order houses
have made clear to us is that the
small merchants can never be driven
out of business if he gives his custo-
mers service.
The merchant who assumes only in
difference toward his trade, is the mer-
Chant whose business is as dead as
Scrooge's doornail; the merchant who,
when the farmers machine breaks
down in thrashing time, is able not
only to answer his telephone emer-
gency-call by supplying him with the
part needed but, to prevent an unnec-
essary moments waste of time, hur-
ries that part to his customer by send
ing it out by neighbor who is to pass
tie harvest field, has made lifelong
customer of the farmer. He
has rendered him service. Never
again will that farmer turn away from
the small town merchant declaring he
will order his goods only from Chicago
or New York.
This ideal of service is coming for
ward, too, as the controlling influence
Of those agricultural colleges which

Dean Galloway, of the New York State

Gently to the farm bureau agents, or
rs they are sometimes called, the
county agents or advisors:
1.-THE most necessary attribute for

understanding of the meaning of ser

RAILROAD FACING
SEVERE ICE FAMINE

Hannibal, Mo-, Aug. 5.-An ice fam
inc is threatening the Chicago & Alton
as a result of the high temperature
which prevailed during the month of
July which threw the daily consump-
ton of ice to twice the regular amount
which together with the shrinkage,
which was exceptional, reduced the
stock to much below the average for
August. Orders have been issued to
those who use ice to economic on the
article to all extent possible as COM
plete clearing of the houses would re-
suit not only in serious Inconvenience
to the road in handling perishable
stuff, but also would mean a loss of
much comfort to the men il their sup
ply had to be shut off for drinking
purposes.
The Alton uses naturel Ice exclu.
siveiy, most of it being harvested near
Joliet at Lake Zurich and at the
ponds at Romeo The soft weather
this past spring cut down greatly the
expected supply and forced the COM
pany to get their ice in southern Wis
consin. A total of 10000 tons was
procured last spring. Of which 10000
were sent to points on the northern
ans southern divisions, leaving 10000
for the western division. Most of
the ice is stored at Roodhouse, but
much was put up at this point at the
house west of the union station the
storage house in the yards and at
Normal.
