The governor-elect, Mr.. Dorsey still
continues that dignifed silence which
we think is so commemorate in him. He
is determined to let Governor Harris
finish out his term without being inter-
fered with by him. Mr.. Dorsey is still
private citizen, and will not be gov
ernor until late in June.-Darien Ca
zette.
One of the amusing things Of the recent
spasm to rough-house Governor Harris into
converting the legislature in extra session
twice within little more than six months
time was the attempt by two or three es-
teemed contemporaries which were extreme
ly violent and none too particular as to
their methods in opposing Mr.. Dorsey for
the gubernatorial nomination TO drag him
into the discussion, and then emptied the walls
of their wrath upon him because he main
tanned dignifed silence and declined to
pull their chestnuts out Of the fire.
Mr.. Dorsey is yet a private citizen, and
has shown a keen sense of propriety by
wisely and properly refraining from the dis
cussion of matters that belong solely to the
present administration. His dignifed and un-
ostentatious demeanor since his nomination
has merited and won for him the admiration
of the people generally. AS the Valdosta
Times says:
After he takes the oath of Office as
governor and starts upon his official ca
reer his official acts will be subject to
the sharpest of scrutiny by friends and
foe but until he takes the reins of gov
eminent into his own hands it is not
fair to him or to Governor Harris to try
and use him as a club with which to prod
the present administration. The gov
ernor-elect is attending to his own bust
ness, keeping his own counsel, and his
friends over the state will be satisfied if
he will continue to do as he has been
doing-ignore the criticisms not worthy
of notice and "answer the fools accord
ing to their follies."

HE HAS NOT DONATED.
From the Lavonia Times:

From the LavOnia Times:
We have been solicited to donate 20
cents to the Belgian fund for the purpose
Of providing a pack of smoking tobacco and
fifty good cigarettes to a Belgian soldier.
We have not donated If those Belgans are
as hungry as we have been led to believe
they should do without their cigarettes and
smoking tobacco, and be thankful for some
thing to eat and wear. This campaign for
tobacco and cigarettes in our opinion is
going to make many of our people more
tardy in donating to the Belgian relief fund.

Raise Rice. Mr.. Farmer.

A we'll known merchant of McRae
addressed a letter to The Enterprise
this week in which he says there is being
shipped into Telfair annually some
thing like 100000 pounds of rice. At
the prevailing retail price this rice costs
the consumers in Telfair approximately
$4,000 a year. That is a right tidy
sum for one article of diet, especially
when it is a fact that it can be grown
here. As the merchant referred to
above points out there is enough land
In this county that cannot be tended on
account Of water to make enough rice
to supply the whole county.-Telfair
Enterprise
What our contemporary says is true
While rice cannot be made a money crop il
this section it can be grown proftably fol
home consumption, and have a useful anC
important place in the scheme of crop di
versifcation and minimizing the effects OF
the boil weevil.
In this connection it is interesting to note
that Mr. J. R. Mercer, the pioneer in wheat
growing in this section and whose agitation
and example have resulted in hundreds OF
farmers throughout this section raising
enough wheat for their own use, and the
erection by Mr.. Mercer of an up-to-date -four
mill with capacity of 70 barrels day, which
for weeks in the year is busy night and day
converting the farmers wheat into flour
has begun a campaign for the cultivation of
rice by the farmers of Southwest Georgia
He has an advertisement in The News in
which he offers to supply farmers who will
plant rice seed at $1.75 bushel or so cents
q peck, which is practically at cost. Further
more, Mr.. Mercer proposes to install plant
for hulling the rice.
There is hardly farmer who hasn't a
plot in which nothing else can be grown
that is suited to growing rice Plant these
places in rice, Mr.. Farmer
