Wilson live( in Georgia and iiariied there, he has friends md relatives in all sections of he state, and his career is such ,hat they have no reason to hes tate in the advocacy of his non ( nation for president. It is pretty safe to predict that leorgia "'ill be for Wilson in he convention of'1912; in fact, i n oir opinion, Georgia is the' afest state of all for Wilson. I The Harmon candidacy is pro eeding along intelligent and roper lines: its management is iten1sely practical. ( A press bureanl is regiulary md1ling out Harimon literature, j qplaining the Harmon view int and answerinii ani crti- N sis or attacks.

Gov. Blease said: "The County comD missioners Greenville, Darlington, Edge Ad. Barnwell and Union coun 3s have refused to pay the nstables or detectives detailed r me to help enforce the liquor Vs.

Too Much Influence. We are naturally a little old fashioned in our wvay.s of think ing, and naturally wheii it, comies to the school book propo. ion we arev a stickler for the 1)"d Webster ile-Ilack speller. 'We don't believe, Is a foi (la - tion for the child" 's start ini school, that. it has ever been im proved 11pon. But the modern idea of teach ing is to rush the child through all kinds of little 'new-fangled 1)ooks, -md it now takes on an. average of, about one boo1k a day for a child zifter it passes the second or third grade, and now comes the state board, which is adopting the school books for another five vears, and makes the most sweeping change ever made in the state. At least 80 per cent. of th'e )ooks adopted are new ones. 'This necessarily places a heavy burden on the patrons of the pImblic schools throughout the itate and a howl has gone up bout it.
