WEDDING SUPERSTiTIONS

If you cut your fingers when you cut the wedding cake, 1t is bad omen.
 The bride should not make her own bridal cake.
 Have grapes at the wedding supper, and keep the bride from want.
 It is a good omen for the bride to eat celery at her wedding breakfast.
 Poverty is seen in the distance if the first meal in the new home is dis turbed.
 Lay by some bread from the we'd ding feast, and you will never know want.
 mony after once you are dressed in wedding garb.
 If the crust of the saved-up wedding loaf gets moldy, the marriage will not be happy one.
 If an accident befalls the brides cake she may look for sorrows early in her married life.
 If the bride leaves piece of cake on her plate. and an unmarried person eats it. 1t will be the sign of that one's speedy marriage.
 The bride and groom should use the same finger bowl at their wedding breakfast, so the water fairies will bring no discord into their lives.

HOMEMADE PHILOSOPHY.

Our best intentions are carried out by those who find them after we drop them dead.
 Not one scholar and thinker out of a thousand will declare civilization a success. Our gods, our wars, our hopes, our fears. are all tinged with barbarian.
 Science and superstition have been at war for ages. but new evidence that science will ultimately win comes from the many times superstition masquer- ades in the clothes of science and claims to be natural phenomena.

 Mercury and Venus are the only planets that have no moons. Count ing our own moon, the system of planets possesses no less than 27 l moons.
 The number of stars that can be seen by a person of average eyesight Is only about 1000. The number yis- ible through a telescope Is from 10000 to 100000.
 Neptune has a diameter of 32000 miles. It Is about 2,792, 100000 miles from the sun. It's period of revolution is about 165 years and 1t is about S5 times larger than the earth.

MOSTLY TRUE

 Prudes are women who are al- Q ways looking for temptations to resist. Never climb a mountain till you come to it--then perhaps it won't be there. A man always remembers his enemies, but he sometimes for gets his friends.
 When a woman says that she has seen better days, 1t means that she recognizes cut glass when she sees 1t. When woman tries to cap- ture a wealthy husband she evi- dently believes that his means will justify her ends.-Royal Magazine, London.

ney General Daugherty, who remain
ed at the White House throughout
last night because4of the critical con-
dition of Mrs. Harding, said on leav-
ing early today that she had passed
a more comfortable night than he eX-
pected. He believed her "piuck and
will power" would carry her safely
through the crisis.
A bulletin issued by Brig. g.-Gen.
Sawyer, physician attending Mrs.
Harding at $50, said she had "a
fairly good night" and that compi

time since the Hardings entered the
White House, the public was barred

DROUTH HURTS
GEORGIA CROPS
Agricultural Bulletin Says Crops
VIII Be Poorest In
Decade

ATLANTA, Sept. 9.The drousha
during the latter part of August has
been responsible for the decline of
from two to eight points in practieai-
ly all Georgia crops. Correspondents
Of the United States Bureau of Agfi
cultural Economics report the poor
est crops we have had in Georgia for
a decade. Fortunately there is afl
unusually large acreage Of forage
which will partially offset the ey-
tremely low yields per acre which will
be secured this season.
The early hay crop was very good !
and considerable portion was harvest
ed before any decline occurred ia cals
dition. For the most part it was haf-
vested under good conditions.
Fruit and Nuts.-The apple crop is
very promising, and pears are the best
we have had in many years. The pes
can crop is very light, The reeenN
drouth caused very heavy dropping
of nuts which were thought to hs
safe. The prospect ranges from fif
teen to fifty per cent, with an average
of thirty-fve or forty per cent.
Hogs and Sheep The supply Of
hogs for fattening varies extremely
There are more than usual through
the central belt, slightly less in the
main southern hog section and con-
siderably fewer in the extreme north
ern part Of the state For the state
as a whole there is apparently verS
little change The important thing ts
be noted is that wide area of the
newly infested weevil territory is pres
pairing to raise hogs on larger seated
planning to save the choice gifts fos
breeding purposes. The thing the
win determine the number Of bloos
sows the coming year is the feee
supply which is scant in many locali
ties.
The amount of wool produced i
the state shows the usual yearly slc
cline. 1t is to be remarked that tie
central area and the pecan seeEios
are beginning to experiment wiz
sheep as money producers, in the pe
can section to fit in with the manage
ment Of maturing groves, and in tha
central section as money substitute
for cotton. IN neither of these SEQ
tions has the practice become well a:
tablished, but the fact that they af5

SHERIFFS MAY HAVE PASSES
IF RAILROADS ISSUE THEM

ATLANTA, Sept. "a law en-
acted by the last legislature which
authorizes the railroads to issue
passes to sheriffs of the different
counties in Georgia does not require
the railroad to issue them, nor does
it require the public service commits
sion to order the railroads to issue
them, but merely authorizes the rail
roads to do 50, if they see fit. This
was called attention to by James
A. Perry, member of the commits
sion in connection with numerous
letters which he had received from
sheriffs all over the state inquir-
ing whether the commission was au-
thorized to require the. railroads to
issue passes. AS he pointed out, the
law reads as follows: 'It shall be
lawful for all common carriers III
this state to issue annual passes to
all sheriffs and their lawful depu-
ties. Provided that the term sheriff
and deputy shall mean l sheriff and
one lawful deputy for each county
in the state"

dicted from the beginning The re
suit of the election Wednesday will
show that the people of the state
are going to repudiate gumshoe tac-
tics and stand by a real man, who
stands for something, for man
who comes out in the open, as Gov
ernor Hardwick has done, has said
what he thought, told the people face
to face where he stood, what he
hoped to accomplish, what he had
done. They are going to turn down

another thing to other people, de-
pending on how those to whom he
was talking stood before he COM
mitted himself upon any proposition.

thoroughly. From the mountains to
the sea the Hardwick forces are on
the firing line and will be until the
polls close Wednesday night. And
VIXEN the result is counted, the gov
ernor will have more than 1875 coun-
ties to his credit with more than
800 convention votes. We are not
making foolish, careless predictions.
Our forecast is the result of careful
investigation, checked and re-checked

their counties. We haven't the
slightest doubt about a tremendous
