Doing Away With Cotton.

Berger und Mr. John McSwoen were
i in St. Matthews yesterday, says ft spe
: rial to The State from that placj. They
j met a large number of planters who
contemplate planting tobacco another
| year. The meeting waa a large and
! representative one and it Is a foregone
J conclusion that cotton will be a back
number thereabouts next year. Many
acres of the best lands have been and
j are now being selected, and seeded In
1 wheat anl oats. Many of the Urgent
! planters affirm that they will not at
tempt to raise cotton at the present
; ruinous prices, but will leave the erst
j while king for the negro renter anl
! lien merchant for his vassals. Most

they are nettr the line of voters. All of j
the old time and new time temperance I
1 songs *re sung, and while the oholra
; H mK do*‘*ns of other women go among
' the men and serve t offee, crackers and
Isandwlehes and smile sweetly und pin
their white hows on everybody.
D» East Martin tile ladles had their
church organ* In the of the
! street and some good old hymns were
.tendered there to music.
' The ••antis" were being wiped out for
! :l while under the spell of the women's
i work and they sent for a band, which
fo.k a position on the opposite aide of
!the street, and while the women sang
Tillman’s temperance song, "Vote it*
You Fray," the negro band played
• There Wilt be a Hot Time In the Old
Town Tonight."
Once the hand started near the organ,
hut the white men ordered the men
away. Women are respected every
where. and "antis” as well as "prohls"
givo way to them.
Voting Is Very Slow.
The voting la very slow. Thy regis
tration list* ate Isedly arranged nnd
I there are long waits. At the courthouse
I the principal voting precinct, live hun
; <lred men were In line at noon. It rc
i quires two hours for the line to vote.
I This delay gives the workers a long
! time to talk to the voters, and many
have been changed. \
At this hour it looks as if the polls
will rinse leaving hundreda unable to
reach the ballot boxes.
The leaders on both sides are making
claims, but to an impartial observer it
locks as if the reds are carrying the
day. The negro vote Is pivotal. Great
crowds of them are marched to the
polls and f lared In line by "antis" and
it Is clear that they are well organlz- ■
ed. I
The vest pocket vote is large. Busl
insss men are voting quietly and it is
claimed that they fear the result of
prohibition on the business Interests of ,
the city and are casting red tickets. |

This altud a to a circular alley, d In
have Iteen sent but by the anti Able de

llll.gul Iwllot marked "For Prohibition.”
I The prohibition tn k.ta must Ia si- the
| words. Against the Sale.*'
i The iln ul.ir is ilcnoum cd as an Infa
' toons (rtek. and a cry of "fraud, fraud,
which smells lo hcavonf Is going up.
The units say they know nothing of the
circular Here la the prohibition pleat
"Th • women and children of Macon
cannot vote In this election. Therefore
It will be the pleasure of every gentle
man to vote for them. If you vote for
the sale you indorse your name on ev
ery barroom license.*’
The literature of the antis Is a plea
for the business interests of the city.
They say, ‘ Prohibition will take from
Macon thousand* of dollars wo>th of
trade and Atlanta and other cities will
get it." “Prohibition will tale work
from honest laborer* and deprive wo
men and children of their dally bread.”
"Abolish the licensed saloon and the
blind tigers will follow." "If you want
Macon to prosper, profit by Atlanta’s
experience." "If you want grass to
grow in the streets, vote for prohibi
tion.”
Today the city of Macon Ik passing
through the experience of Atlanta In
the famous pMhibltlon election of ten
years ngo, and that contest was prom
inent tn this campaign. The lesson of
prohibition In Atlanta Is affecting the
result today. The scenes or that elec
tion are repeated h ue.
yoldiers Are Absent.
A striking feature or the day's scenes
Is th>- absence of soldiers from the
streets. It was feared that they would
i reat. a disturbance and upon the re
quest of council, General Wilson order
ed that no soldiers be allowed to leave
the camps today.
The election la a memorable one. nnd
It Is furnishing Bights new to the peo
ple of Macon. There Ih great suppress- ,
ed excitement among the people, and as j
the time of closing the polls approach
es, interest Is being Intensified. The
count will be awaited with great anx
ltjty.
Tonight Macon will be turned over to
the victora of the day and th* city will
be a bedlam no matter how the elec
tion goes II the antis carry they will
Jubilate in.great style, and Macon will,
be the noisiest place in the state to
night. If the prohls win they tvlll as- j
scml.lc in the .c hurches and offer pray
ers for vk-ioiy.

Leprosy In the Philippine*.
Pittsburg. Pa., Dec. 2-Dr. It. 8.
Sutton, a prominent surgeon of this
city, who with the rank of major
served all through the recent wnr.
warns the administration that keeping
the Philippines would menace the
health of people of this country. He
says: .
"I have made a study of leprosy, nnd
I am prepared to say that Americans
held there In confinement as our sol
diers will be If compelled to guard the
Philippines, will contract the disease.
The climate Is hot and dry, and Is not
fit for any one used to America. It will
prove deadly to the boys If they must
slay there, and the best thing for oh
to do la to get them home as quickly
as possible. Holding the islands Is a
mistake. 1 think we ought to sell them
to Japan.”
