PAYMENT OF EXPEN-
- SES OF PRIMARIES.
If the present method of se
lecting candidates for office by
the white primary is to continue!
there should be some state laws
regulating the expenses connect
ed with such elections and some
means provided for paying the
expenses of holding the primary.
We have heard some men ex
press themselves as of the opin
ion that it would be better to
have the primary system done
away with altogether rather than
that the present custom of pay
ing the expenses of same by the
candidates who offer for office
should be continued.
If the negro were disfranchised
we are not sure but that it would
be better not to have the pri
mary at all than to tax the ex
penses on the candidates. Ac
cording to the rules that now ob
tain, even in county offices, the
assessment for each candidate
amounts to a great deal more
than a great many feel able to
pay, and this is especially true
whenever there are only a few
candidates running for office.
When a person offers for con
gress or for a state house office
sometimes the assessments of the
counties are so large that it is
impossible for a man of limited
meat s to spare the money to
meet his assessment. Hence it
is now so that a poor man has no
chance whatever to secure an of
fice outside of some county of
fice.
We therefore think that it
would be wise to have enacted a
law by the legislature providing
that the expenses of a primary
bo defrayed by the state, then
tho burden would fall upon all
the people of the state ai d no
man would be taxed for the ben-
tit, of other men who do not
share in the burden.
If tlie Jonrnal would quit, printing
Xummlly’g abusive cards, the Con
stitution Broughton’s “political ser
mons” and the Chattanooga Times
J udge Kite's vindictive explana tions,
the proper equilibrium might soon
be restored, remarks the Dalton Cit
izen.
In a small city likeJttiit, the vice of
rash judgement is altogether too
common. Where people know nearly
all their lellow citizens there are
some who are so ungracious and so
un-Christian as to attribute an evil
motive when the actions are prompt
ed by the best of motives, and they
are rat tier disposed to relisii a rumor
that reflects against a neighbor. Ev
erybody commits indiscretion, either
willfully or through ignorance of
weakness; but harsh criticism and
rash judgements do not help the of
fender.

IMPORTANT
TO FARMERS.
The United States department
of«agricultulture has lately is-
ued a number of publications
especially for the benefit of the
cotton growers of the Boutl ern
states. Among these are:
Yearbook 1007, reprint No. 887,
‘Diversified Farming in the Cot
ton Belt,” giving a general de
scription of the soil, climatic
conditions, methods of farming,
and the various types of farming
that are proving successful in the
south and are practiced by the
most successful farmers.
Farmers’ Bulletin No. 810, “A
Successful Alabama Diversifica
tion Farm,” describing how well
hogs and alfalta succeeded to
gether on what is known as black
waxy land.
Farmers’ Bulletin No. 812, “A
Successful Southern Hay Farm,”
telling of the unusual success
made by one farmer on a one-
horse hill farm.
Farmers’ Bulletin No. 818,
Cowpeas,” giving the latest de
velopment in cowpea culture and
showing how it is fast taking its
place among the commercial pro'
ducts of the farm by use of im
proved emplements in harvesting
and threshing the vines.
Farmers’ Bulletin No. 32(1,
Building up a Run-Dowu Cot
ton Plantation,” telling of an
old cotton plantation which yield
ed only one-fourth of a bale of
:otton in;il)05, and in ’07 yielded
without commercial iertilizer of
any kind more than a hale of cot
ton to the acre.

KEEP THE TOWN CLEAN.
Now is the time of the year
when it is especially needful for
the health of the community that
everything around the town
should be kept clean and in a
sanitary condition. Dallas does
not pay us much attention to this
feature as should be the case.
Really a town of it# size needs
a good sewerage system, and it
i9 to be hoped that before a great
while the bonds which were vo
ted on last year and authorized,
will f>o issued, and that then as
good a system of waterworks and
sewerage will be installed as the
amount of money raised,by the
bonds will justify. But in the
meantime, while dry closets are
used and other inconveniences
have to be put up with, every
precaution possible should be
taken to keep premises as clean
as may bo. Lime scattered
around and under the houses and
over the premises proves a good
prevention of disease.
Manv towns smaller than Dal
las haveWetilized the menace to
heulth occasioned bv pig pens
and have absolutely prevented
their existence within the cor
porate limits. We think a very
wise thing for the city fathers to
do would be to pass an ordinance
prohibiting anyone from keeping
a pig within the corporate limits
of Dallas. The health of our
people is worth more than a few
pig Dens, yet it seems exceeding
ly hard for some to realize this
fact.
Another thing needed by Dal
las is a health inspector who will
be diligent in attending to his
duties to make periodical visits
for inspection to every part of
the town, and then recommend
to the mayor and council such
measures as he thinks would be
for the protection of the health
of the town. It would not re
quire a large salary to secure the
services of a competent person
for this position because not a
great deal of time would be neo
eBsary to carry out its duties, and
the community would be amply
repaid for whatever expenditure
were required should proper
steps bo taken to carry into ef-
feet such sanitary regulations as
might be required.

Boll Weevil on Its March East.
John Martin, formerly of At
lanta, says the Journal, where he
has a number of relatives, but
now of Paris, Tex., who ii here
on a visit, reports that the cot
ton acreage in that state has
been reduced at least four per
cent by floods|that swept over the
state during tiie month of May
and early in June.
Mr. Martin says that Oklaho
ma, the new state, suffered more
than Texas and that flood dam
age also in Arkansas and North
Louisiana.
Mr. Martin says, however, that
the boll weevil is onlv one sev
enth as bad this season in the
southwest as last year. This im
provement he attributes to the
cool weather early in the year,
and also to the rains. He says,
though, that the pest has come
to stay, and has at last crossed
the Mississippi and is on ity way
east.
“Flood reports from the south
west,” says Mr. Martin “have
not been exaggerated. North
ern, central and western Texas
had from eleven to thirteen inch
es of rain during May. Farms
along the Red and Trinity rivers
and other large streams were de
vastated.
“I estimate that the cotton

cent, as a result of the rain. The
