governor, if he is to do all the
people expect, if he is to save the
State from a reign Of cheap poll

Mr.. Vereen is man upon

with varied interests, including
farming, manufacturing, mer-
chandising and banking. South
Georgia is prepared to back his
candidacy solidly and North
Georgia will join forces to place
such a man in the highest office
of the State.
Will he be a candidate? His
close friends even do not know,
but Georgia needs Vereen. If he
viii not volunteer, he must be
drafted.
TheFayetteville News is not
the first of the Georgia papers
to demand the drafting of Will
Vereen. His name has been
mentioned for many weeks, but
MIR. Vereen is busy man, he
is not seeking office and if he,
or a man of his type is secured,
he must be DRAFTED.
He is not politician. Poll
teal office holds no lures for
him, but it is the Vereen type
that is so sorely needed today.

THE RESULT OF TRlVlALITIEs

A Georgia editors dog bit a
local physicians daughter. The.
physician demanded that the dog
be killed, but the editor refused
to end his pets days. Shortly
afterward the dog died, presum-
ably from the effects of poison.
Thereupon the editor wrote q
seorching editorial in which he
expressed his opinion of dog
PRISONERS. When next the physi-
clan met the editor, the man of
Enedicne demanded an explana-
ton He wanted to know whether
the editorial referred specifically
to him, and the answer evidently
did not prove satisfactory, for a
fisticuff followed, and ended
when the editor drew a pistol and
began shooting. Three bullets
took effect in the physicians
body, and his condition is said
to be critical. And all on ac-
count of a dog! If figures were
available to show how many
homicides have been the direct re-
suit of hard feeling between
neighhors over dogs and chickens,
quarels' and fights between chill
dren, differences over land lines
and similar foolishness, they
would doubtless be illuminating.

about, but, for that matter, most

And hard, material things

And care has lined his brow.
Be glad a spell has touched him, =
Be glad he's dreaming now,

Don't spoil his fond illusion
Of magic hopes and fair,
Don't scatter confusion
His castles of the air;
You'll only see him grieving
For what you take away,
So let him go on weaving
His fancies while he may.
Scorn not his mood enchanted
For wise men know the truth,
That growth and change are planted
First in the dreams Of youth.

Scott not his faery plan,
Don't stop the boy from dreaming
His dreams shall make the man.
