A Late Snake Story.

Rev. j. NJ. Walls, of near ogle-
thorpe, brought to the Georgian office
Wednesday the stuffed skin of rat
tie snake which was the largest we
have ever seen. Rev. Walls stated
that the snake was killed near his
home, on DR., Ben Brooks place,
Tuesday afternoon by his son, Nolan
Walls.
After killing the snake, young Walls
carried it home to measure and weigh
it. The reptile measured 5 feet ten
inches and weighted II pounds and
had q rattles and abutton. This is
one of the LARGEST snakes, we believe,
ever killed in this county.-Monte-

WHAT ABOUT THIS9

according 10 Mr. Harawic.l's own
statement, made in writing on the eve
o. the Macon convention several years
ago, Georgia wanted a senator Elm
harmony with the president"
The Savannah Press has reproduced
a letter which Hardwick wrote at that
time, telling the people how impor-
2aRt it was to nominate man who
was in thorough sympathy with the
president
Goodness knows, if it was important
then to name a senator in harmony
with the president, how much more
S. is il now?
viii Senator Hardwick stand by
his 1914 letter?
Or will he say that Georgia NOW
wants a senator who will oppose the
president, obstruct the administration
plans and embarrass his nation in III
most critical period?
Now is fine time for the little
Georgia senator-little in stature, lit
tie in brain, and little in political
principle-to be consistent, for a
least once in his life!

1t is useless to deny that if the war

AN UPHILL FIGHT.

1t must DE admitted that the war
situation is really desperate.
Russia of it's own volition, ceases
to be an aggressive force, although
not entirely out of the war"
Italy is eliminated as a factor
dangerous to the Teutonic forces.
Serbia and Rumania have become
as impotent as Belgium which long
since was tramp1ed under foot and
almost out of existence.
This leaves Great Britain, France
and the United States to shoulder the
entire burden-and France, thougAy
displaying heroic courage and never
complaining, has been staggering UNI
der its colossal weight for some time
4reat Britain, too is doing its ut
most and cannot deliver any harder
blows than have been struck.
More and more plainly is it apparent
that ere long the United States must
become the principal combatant in
the war, receiving assistance from
rather than lending it to, the other
Allies. Indeed. this nation of ours
is substantially the most powerful
figure already. But for our fnancial

THE CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW.

1t is doubtful if the chryanthemums
anywhere have ever been brought to
higher degree of culture than right
here in Americas, as was attested
by the superb exhibition of the Chrys-
anthemum Club
Thomas w Lawson and other mil
lionaires, with large hot houses and
Conservatives and high-salaried for
lists, i'm attendance, have developed
magnificent specimens, at the expense
Of thousands of dollars and months
ard years of effort. The Japanese,
with whom the chrysanthemum is the
favorite of all flowers and who lavish
upon it an especial attention have
also produced wonderful blooms. How
ever, the ladies' of Americas have no
reason to be ashamed of their sue
cess, and should in fact, be very proud
Of the result of their venture in
chrysanthemum culture.
The show was a revelation, as we'll
as entrancingly beautiful spectacle.
The mind finds it difficult to conceive
of any chrysanthemums more strik-
ingly beautiful, more regal in appear
ance, more perfect in design, than
the huge, imposing white ones raised
by Mrs. Thomas Harold. That these
were the first prize winners is fact

seen.
Originally, the chrysanthemum was
a yellowish bloom, thus deriving its
name from a Greek word meaning
gold-fower." Then it was a peren-

fashioned yellow and white chrysan.
themums of our cottage-gardens is a
nativH of Sicily and North Africa
but the present favorite with garden
ers and florists was introduced IN
the middle of the eighteenth century
and has flourished to such an extent
since then that it is grown extensive
ly in France and England as well as
Ia this country. There are more than
three hundred varieties. In some the
flower-head is marked by the most
perfect symmetery, while in Others it
assumes a medusa-like character,
with twisted petals, that gives it a
bizarre and picturesque appearance.
So highly esteemed is the chrysan-
themum by the Japanese that their
most exalted decoration is known as
THE Order OF The Chrysanthemum.
1t is conferred only on kings fir 90
ficials Of the very highest rank. The
badge consists of a red enamel sun,
from which issue 80 white rays with
golden borders.
Chrysanthemum culture is becoming
more general in the south, so easily
may they be cultivated on any loamy
soil. until now the first tinge of au-
tnmn does not seem itself until these
gorgeous blossoms, swaying regally
