Funeral Notice.
From F.llijay Courier.
The Primary Election, held in (
frYliner County on August 21st
1912, which vfas found to be suf¬
fering from a severe attack of
aente indigestion, caused by over¬
crowding the ballot boxes, was
taken to Atlanta for treatment hy
the State Committee and died In
the Senate Chamber at 4 P. M.l
Sept 5tb. j
The remains is in the bands of
the Undertakers in Gilmer Coun¬
ty. Funeral services will be held
*t the various voting precincts of
Gilmer on Oct. 2nd 1912. In¬
terment will he at 12 o'clock,
Oct. ISrd 1912, at Ellijay. The
bereaved have our sympathy.
A. M. Johnson.
The above appeared in the Cour
er last week and is foolish, pitiful
snd sad.
Brother Johnson having been
at many funerals but never at his
own before. We are told that he
stated that he ji\st had to make
the race, wonder why? From a
business standpoint, eh, or be¬
cause he meant to win, which?
Rut figuratively, as he speaks,
tie himself comes as the corps,
Thursday. Oct. 8rd, to his own
funeral and interment J notice hav¬
ing been given over hi3 own signa¬
ture. . His malady was not acute
indigestion however, hut a case of
desertion and the democrats laid
it across him good and proper.
In war times, the man that waB
thought the least of, was a deser¬
ter, so old veterans tell us. And
here’s to Brothers Mack and Runs,
retire t© ybnr respective places of
abode and remember that when a
mau does what yon fellows have
done that his friniids always want
to kick him and that the crowd
that got yon into this race, don’t
think anything cf you. As the
hour is now hem for interment,
we close by saying, peace be with
you. Brothers Burt Banks and
Dave Stovor, we understand will
conduct the service.
A Bad Egg.
From Ellijay Courier.
If it should be asked why the
emocrats of Gilmea County are
anding by the Baltimore Con
entiou that nominated Wilson
r President, and standing by th e
ate Convention that nominated
laton for Governor, and are re¬
fusing to stand by the August
Primary in Gilmer County our
answer would be this:
Because a hungry man has
eaten two sound eggs he should
not be required to eat a ROTTEN
EGG. The State Committee tap¬
ped iuto the Gilmer Primary and
found it to be a BAD EGG, not
suitable for a healthy man,s
stomach. A M. Johnson.
The above appeared m the
Courier last week, signed by A. M.
Johnson. But the democrats
stood by the August primary.
Judge by 250 votes and you got
the rotten egg and it must have
had a bad taiti after all these bad
eggs and fnueral notices. There
are more men surprised at yon
than anybody that went “Slick’’
except a few of ns fellows who
knew you of old, and we would
advise yon to get your garments
on straight next time.

ENEMIES OF PURE FOOD LAW.
ftirwui Chemist Believes the Health
of the Nation Demands Election of
the Democratic Ticket—He Appeale
to Those Who, Like Himself, Have
Been Republicans.
By HARVEY W. WILEY.
fFormar Chief Chemiet of the U. S
Department of Agriculture.)
My appeal is chiefly to those who,
Yfke myself, have been lifelong Repub¬
licans. I believe that no kind of an
administration is going to ruin the
country. I have a high personal re¬
gard for each one of the candidates for
president and vice president on all
the tickets. All the political platforms
are mainly sound, and all promise ef¬
fort In behalf of the whole people. My
choice Is not based on a platform. It
was determined by my impressions of
the real attitude of the candidates re¬
specting the public welfare. We are
creatures of heredity and environ¬
ment. In our attitude toward great
public questions we are almost alto¬
gether creatures of environment.
What two men are by environment
least likely to be swayed by special
Interests and most likely to be guided
by devotion to public welfare? Two
of the candidates have already been
tried in the presidential chair, and we
know b.v experience what may be ex¬
pected if either of them resumes his
former seat on March 4, 1913. Mr.
Roosevelt by reason of bis attitude to¬
ward the food and drug act' aban¬
doned the consumers of the country
to the rapacity of a few mercenary
manufacturers. Under authority of
congress I had carried on extensive
experiments with ray so called poison
squad und found that certain sub¬
stances—viz. benzoic compounds, sul¬
phurous compounds and sulphate of
copper iblnestone»—were Injurious to
health.
The law conferred upon me ns chief
of the bureau of chemistry the duty of
acting as a grand jury and determin¬
ing whether foods and drugs were adul¬
terated or misbranded. Instead of ap¬
pealing ffom my decisions to the courts,
as the law requires, the users of these
poisons appealed to President Roose¬
velt lie not only listened to them, but
he abrogated the plain provisions of
the law, appointed a board not con
templated by the law and directed that
these predatory interests might con¬
tinue their attacks on the health of the
people until this board, upknown to
the law, should decide otherwise.
Can we safely trust the campaign
for public health to Mr. Roosevelt? 1
cannot believe that to be • the proper
course. Mr. Taft Inherited this exceed¬
ingly bad condition of affairs from his
predecessor and has not only continued
this illegal board under whose patron¬
age adulterators are still poisoning the
people, but he did worse. In the mat¬
ter of the adulteration of distilled bev¬
erages in which Roosevelt upheld the
legally constituted authorities Nk. Taft
reversed that policy and threw the
mighty weight of the executive office
to the support of the worst lot of adul¬
terators that ever disgraced a country.
Mr. Wilson and Mr. Marshall by
their strenuous efforts In behalf of the
food laws of their respective states
have given n positive promise to end
such a threatening state of affairs.
They will support to the utmost the
officials under the law who are trying
to protect the public health and will
make short shrift of those who have
brought about these present unbear¬
able conditions.
Wilson and Marshall by their educa¬
tion and environment are free from
bias in favor of predatory interests
and are inspired by true patriotic zeal
in behalf of public welfare.
I support the Democratic nominees in
full knowledge that many of the prom¬
inent Democrats in congress have
been in full sympathy with the paral¬
ysis of the food law in behalf of the
unhoiy dollar. But when the Demo¬
cratic president and vice president
lend the aid of their powerful sympa¬
thy In behalf of the public health
those of their own party not in sym¬
pathy with them will be robbed of
their power for evil. If Roosevelt or
Taft be chosen the soldiers of fraud
and adulteration will be Impregnably
Intrenched for another four years and
benzoates, sulphates and adulterated
alcoholic beverages will have a new
lease of life.
I believe also that President Wilson
will reuovate the department of agri¬
culture, reeking, as it has been for
the past twelve years, with scandals
and favoritism. He will see to it that
the bureau of animal industry will
protect the public health Instead of
the efforts of the packers to sell dis¬
eased meats under the deceptive
phrase "U. S. Inspected and Passed.”
Under President Wilson no more Pin
cbots will be kicked out of the service,
no more unspeakable McCabes will ex¬
ercise dictatorial powers. There will
be no more cotton leaks and jungle
atrocities, no more Everglade swin¬
dles. Buccaneering, boasting and bun¬
combe will give place to sane efforts
for the promotion of real agriculture
and the public health.
Under Wilson the department of
agriculture will be restored to speak

culture, the promotion of public
health and executives who have
grown to manhood and lived in an en

makes for the public welfare to vote
for Wilson and Marshall.
TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUST.
“Expected Economies From Combina¬
tion” Do Not Materialize.
ILouis D. Brandels In Collier's.]
r Leaders of the new (third termi party
argue that industrial monopolies should
be legalized lest we lose the efficiency
of large scale production and distribu¬
tion. So argument could be more mis¬
leading. * * *
It may be safely asserted that In
America there is no line of business in
which ail or most concerns or plants
must be concentrated in order to at¬
tain the size of greatest efficiency, for,
while a business may be too small to
be efficient, efficiency does not grow in¬
definitely with increasing size. What
the most efficient size is can be learned
definitely only by experience. The
unit or greatest efficiency is reached
when the disadvantages of size coun¬
terbalance the advantages. The unit
of greatest efficiency is exceeded when
the disadvantages of size outweigh the
advantages. The history of American
trusts makes this clear. That history
shows:
First—No conspicuous American trust
owes Us existence to the desire for in¬
creased efficiency. "Expected econo¬
mies from combination” figure largely
in promoters' prospectuses, but they
have never been a compelling motive
in the formation of any trust On the
contrary, the purpose of combining has
often been to curb efficiency or even to
preserve inefficiency, thus frustrating
the natural law of survival of the fit¬
test
Second.—No conspicuously profitable
trust owes its profits largely to supe¬
rior efficiency. Some trusts have been
very efficient, as have some independ¬
ent concerns, but conspicuous profits
have been secured mainly througb'eon
trol of the market through the power
Of exeflse tAnopoly to fix prices, through this
T®.—No of the taxing power.
conspicuous trust has been
efficient enough to maintain long as
against the independents its proportion
of the business of the country without
continuing to buy up from time^ to
time its successful competitors;
FARMER G ETS LE SS, BUT—
He Has to Pay More For What He
Doesn’t Raise.
The United States department of
agriculture has Just announced that
notwithstanding the increased cost of
living among the people as a whole
there was a greater decline in the
prices paid to farmers from Aug. 1 to
Sept 1 this year than there was last
year.
The average farm prices of the im¬
portant crops (corn, wheat, oats, bar¬
ley, rye, flaxseed, potatoes, tobacco,
cottoD and bay. which represent
about three-foorths of the value of all
the country's crops) declined 7 per
cent during the month, while in that
time last year they declined in price
only 4.4 per cent and during the last
four years the decline in price aver¬
aged 3.8 per cent The average of
farm prices on Sept 1 was 2.8 per
cent lower than on that date last
year.
Prices paid to farmers on Sept 1
this year, with comparison of prices
paid on the same date last year, fol¬
low:
1912. 1911.
Corn ....... $0,669
Wheat..... .848
Oats ....... .404
Barleg|..... ■..... .770
Rye .769
iiuckMneat ••••••»•••••#••• •• *766 .740
Flax*d .. 2.036
Potatoes ... 1.137
Hay ........ 14.610
Cotton ..... .118
Butter ..... .231
Chickens .. an
Eggs ....... .174
But the prices on tariff nurtured
articles of manufacture which the
farmer has to buy continue to soar.
The third term candidate’s favorite
reply to the telling, unanswerable ar¬
guments of Governor Wilson is that
the latter’s opinions are based "not on
actual knowledge and experience, but
by reading musty books on political
economy.” The colonel himself at a
tender age was put at hard laborl It
is not often that a man whose whole
life has been given up to politics and
offieeholdtng gets as horny handed as
Mr. Roosevelt In the ranks of labor and
hlgb finance
Governor Wilson said to the newspa
per men at the New York Press club
banquet: “Suppose you had a house of
representatives mixed like the present
senate. I think we could all go fishing
for the next two years.” But he’s at
the helm, and there won't be any mix¬
ing. Democrats—that's all.
How many of those who are strug¬
gling with the “high cost of living” be¬
lieve there is to be any relief if the
Republican party, which brought it
about, remains in power?
The card stacking at Armageddon
goes merrily on. Eight Taft electors in
Missouri announce that if elected they
will vote for the third term candidate.
By applying the common sense test to
Rooseveltian romance Governor WilsoD
manages to keep the country both
amused and thoughtful.
