Truth is the most important cas

Let Them Form a New Party
While we felt confident all along that a majority of the splendid
citizenship of Troup County would declare for Democratic integ
rity and loyalty to party pledges, we cannot restrain an' expression
of the gratification which we fee! now that it is a recorded fact.
That the majority in Troup County was more than two-t.hirda is
especially gratifying when one considers the activity of those sup
porting the “bolter's” ticket on the one hand as compared with the
apathy of the Democrats.
The gratification which we feel over the result is tempered in some
degree by a feeling of regiet that, any of those who are Democrats
ut heart should have allowed themselves to he misled by the speci
ous pings of the "bolters." We are sure that a great many did not
realize the hidden evils which they were supporting, did not know
that while every Southern member of the House and Senate was
earnestly trying to do something for relief of the South, the Pro
gressive members were, as actively fighting all the measures and
blocking the efforts to evhn have them considered. ,
Now that the abortive effort to disrupt the Democratic parly
has failed, we deem it oidy proper to say that those who gave aid
anti encouragement to the undertaking should quietly withdraw
from the party councils and form a little narty of their own.. It is
the only decent thing to do. It isn’t honest to try to “run with the
hare and hunt with the hounds." It will he better all around to
have them carry out their announced purpose at the opening of the
campaign of forming a new party in the South. Not that we be
lieve the South will be any stronger thereby, but, because we want to
see an end to this business of harboring traitors in the Demo
cratic camp, people who are enemies at heart and who will not ob
serve the ordinary rules of fair play.

Report That Progressives Won This
County a Mistake.
The report thdt Carroll County
gave a majority to the Progressive
party in Tuesday’s eleotlon was a
mistake, according to a letter from
Judge Adomson to Col. Moon received
Thursday night.
Judge Adamson was in LaGrange
when the reports were published in

was his confidence in his home people
that lie branded it as a mistake at this

PEG O’ MY HEART."
Let no one miss seeing Oliver
Morocco’s fascinating “Peg O’ My
Heart" which will be seen at the At
lanta Theatre" next Monday, Novem
ber 9, for a week’s engagement, be
cause it is presented without Lnurotto
Taylor, wife of the author, who
created tho central tiguro in New
York, where it recently closed one of
the most remarkable runs in stage
history. Any assumption is entirely
■without cause, which casts reflection
upon the present company, as inferior
or incapable of gctUtfg the last ounce
of amusement and philosophy' out of
the Manners story.
Mud) of tho pleasure m, sitting un
der the spoil of Blanche Hall last
season was in comparing her with tho
creator of the role, In no essential
respect does she fail to stand the
comparison well. Sh’e has bad, it, is
true, tho big advantage of a groat
piece of histrionic workmanship to
pattern after, but Miss Hall has such
evident apontaniety, racial aptitude,
magnetism of personality, and feting
skill, that hardly could fail in any
circumstances. In choosing .the pres
ent cast Mr. Morosbo made an effort
and a successful one to approah the
high level of tho company that made
dramatic history in “Peg O’ My
Heart”" in New York. Alma Chester
for. the part of the snobbish Mrs.
Chichester gives the character' real
distinction. Evelyn Vardan, discover
ed bv Mr. Morosco in California, was
especially chosen for the part of
Ethel, the English society girl. Fred
1,. Brueo-Tiden. who will be seen ip
the lending role of .Terry could not
well be bettered in any important re
spect. while the other characters in
the bands of Joseph Allenton, J Irv
ing White Pelham T,inton, Violet
Moore and A. T. Hendon, round out
a cast which gave our play patrons
real enjoyment hero last reason. This
play can be recommended with en
thusiasm In both theatre-goers and
non-attendants of the phvvhouse.
Those who failed to see it lost sea
son will find it a green oasis in a
grent. dramatic desert. ■ Its brilliant
wit. its beart-sonrehing tenderness,
its Wholesome nhllosnuhv so quaintly
clothed, and its artistic conception
are well-nigh irresistible. Blanche

tion is announced for the coming
presentation. There will he matinees

where
t anything goes, however they
found out that tho lid was'on j
pretty tight at I he Troup County Fair
when they applied to Mr, Krause for
space for their get-rich-quick games,
and with the co-onerntion of the
chief of police and the dimeter ■ of th-
faiv, Mr. Kmu.se wo a successful in
chasing them out of the city.
In an interview with Mb. Krause,
he nnid that never in the history of
his amusement career has ho over
allowed an illegitimate concession or
game to operate on his shows. Mr.
Krause is also as stringent with the
shows as lm in with the games, a a
party of dancing girls with their
manin er, who happened to have a
week open arrived in the city Wed
nesday and tried to persuade Mr.
Krause to allow Ihe, presence of his
“Oriental Maids,” as he called them,
grace the Troup County Fair midway,
however he was very unsuccessful, as
Mr. Krause cut the interview very
short by simply Buying "absolutely
nothing doing.”
Tt is indeed pleasing to know that
there is ono manager in the carnival
business who is mornllv dean and who
does not tolerate gambling or money
games.
