Mr. Editor: The cold snap a
few days ago had the owners ot
large fruit farms guessing and
lovers oi the delicious Elberta
wore beginning to think the
peach crop would be "nipped in
the bud", but we think very
little damage was done.
A splendid paper, the Golden
Age, edited by Mr. W. D. Upeliiw,
better known as "Earnest
Willie" and published in Atlanta,
is now being issued and will
doubtless meet with popular
favor, The paper lias a long
list ol splendid contributors, including
some of the ablest writ
era in tlie south.
We notice Hon. Harvie Jor
dan is to address the Cotton
Growers' Association at Lancas
ter. lie is certainly making
great efforts, through the associ
ation, to raise the price of cot
ton. If he can induce the larm
ers to reduce the acreage ahout
ten per cent, we think it will be 1
ot more advantage than holding 1
so much cotton.
Such evidences of general |
prosperity as various improve- 1
ments in the town of Lancaster,
brigh prospects for a cotton mill (
at Kershaw and the railway from i
Magill to Ileath Springs an assured
thing, all "look good to
us"
Wish we would hear that address
of L)r Uiinisl'f) nn t.lio
"Southern Mule". We'll ven
i
turo lo say he will have a big
audience and they will go baek
home well pleased with their
entertlinment, and satisfied they
got their money's worth.
The tallest railway conductor
in America makes his home in
our city and makes his daily run 1
on one of the roads leading out
from here. Atlanta tries to claim '
everything out of the ordinary,
but Macon has got her beat forty 1
blocks 011 this proposition sure. '
We have heard ot a preacher '
who having made a complete I
failure as a preacher lias given it
up and is now writing a book 011 t
"Ilow to Preach" Somewhat 1
like the fellow who can always <
give advice, but never does any- *
thing himself, i
Farmers in Georgia have cer
tainly been making good use of ]
the good wea'her recently and ]
have done lots of plowing. Judg- i
ing Irotn :i. ' wav/ihey are hnstl
ing around and the amount <>! |
fertilizers they have bought, weL
are atraul the acreage will be
increased. .Still, the majority
of them expect to lerlilize heave
ly and the amount of lertili/.ers
sold is lint an absolulo guarantee
thai the acreage will be incr-.as
to any great extent. ,
