According to the Atlanta Georgian
Jake Moore has done some things
besides sing.
Have you cleaned up and limed
your premises yet? It would be a
nice thing to do.
The Farmer: “What are you get
ting up In that apple tree?” The
hoy: “Stummlck ache, sir."
Many papers and influential poll-
Hel ms are now for Mr. Bryan who
have been against him formerly.
Remember that Dallas Is still on
the map, and she is pushing forward
for something still better and larger.
Are you doing you^part?
We need a hotel to accommodate
summer boarders and pleasure hun
ters. They would come if they were
assured of accomodations. It, would
be a big help to the city.
Wlvit is the matter with onrdumo
era tic executive committee? 'They
have never met to organise the new
body. Lot's not go to sloop, gentle
men, at thIh stage of tile game.
The Glilcagd Record-Herald says:
"It is encouraging to find Georgia
peaches in l lie market at reasonable
prices, despite the many times they
were killed by last winter’s frost,"
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat ad
vises republican managers to reach
for Tennessee. Most people around
this section who reach for Tennes
see are reaching for boose, remarks
tin. Homo Tribune-Herald.
Governor Smith sent a message to
both branches of the general assem
bly Monday giving his reason for
dismissing Joe Brown from the rall-
r >nd commission. What will he tho
r-siilt remains to bo seen.
Tile way the Atlanta Georgian is
going after the prison commission is
enough to cause thu members of that
(in)famous body to make a flying
trip to Boo/.anooga for a much need
ed—rest, of course! says the Marietta
Courier.
The first bale of Georgia cotton of
the present season has b_en market
ed in Albany by Deal Jackson, thu
negro farmer of Dougherty. He thus
maintains !iis title of Hie "first bale
farmer” of Georgia, which-lie lias
held for tins past six years.
MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
The time for the city election
draws nigh.
We should begin to cast about for
the men who will best serve the
town and all of Its vnried interests for
anothor year. With the experience
we have had I11 the pnst few years
we ought by now to begin to know'
how to choose.
During tho last few years we have
had some excellent officers at the
helm of tho town. Wo have also
had some very poor officers.
As intelligent people we should so
licit such men as will give us a good,
economical, sensible and progressive
administration. Some ofllors we
have had in the past would keep no
books that you pould understand.
All they would have when you would
want to examine tho books of tbo
town would bo an Incomplete set
of vouchers and receipts.
To be true to ourselves and to those
that shall follow us, wo should strive
to keep such out of office. Then we
have had men In office whoso great-
< „t crime was doing nothing. Too
busy at something else to attend to
tile duties of their office. We should
avoid sncli.
Then again we have had officers
who would strain the prohibition law
by selling questionable drinks—
drinks that law-abiding citizens
would not think right to Bell, and
hIdo their crime under their office.
We should not solicit nor elect such
men to office.
Let us see to it that we get men
who will avoid the mistakes of those
who have failed. Let us get men
who will enforce tho prohibition law
and all other laws. Let us get men
who will zealously watch out for the
best Interest of tho town both moral
ly and materially. We can’t afford
at-this time to make a single mis
take in tills matter of choosing our
town officials.
The Georgia state railroad com
mission will take tile initiative in
the investigation*of the increase in
freight rates on all class commodities
inaugurated by southern roads from
Ohio and Mississippi rivers crossing
to southeastern points. If the rates
are found unjust, to shippers, the
state railroad commission will, with
out filing of complaint by any lndl
vidual shipper, carry the contention
to the interstate commerce commis
sion and ask that the new rates be
declared invalid.
THE SCHOOL HOUSE
MOST IMPORTANT.
Governor Hughes, of New
York, haB a habit of finding the
right side to questions of public
policy, no matter whether it may
deal with life insurance, the
gambling evil, the railroads, or
the saloon. His recent veto of
the measure passed by the New
York legislature, which measure
was designed to protect saloons,
indicates that there is no ques
tion m which right and wrong is
concerned that does not find him
ready to do what he considers
right, regardless of consequences.
The saloon bill which passed
the legislature provided for the
protection of saloons from the
200-foot limit prescribed by law,
where the existence of such sa
loons antedated the construction
of the school house, to which the
200-foot limit applies,
The reason given for the pass
age of the bill by the legislature
was that some such measure was
necessary for the protection of
hotels and apartment houses hav
ing bars, but the governor of New
York was ablo to see through the
whole deni, and in vetoing the
measure declared with his accus
tomed firmness, “The saloon can
not be permitted to take preced
ence over the American school
house.” The^great need in poli
tics today is lor more men of the
Hughes stripe.
State Pension Commissioner Lind
sey is preparing the lists and payrolls
for tlie third quarterly payment to
tlie eonfederate veterans and widows
of veterans. Tlie amount to lie paid
out will be about $240,(KXi, and tlie
work will be eompleted in about ten
days. Tlie money will then be sent
to tlie ordinary of tlie various coun
ties for distribution. The approach
ing payment will make tlie third pay
ment which will have been made
during tlie present year. The other
two made during the first months of
the quarter, in January and April,
and it has been tlie desire of Gov.
Smith and Commissioner Lindsey to
have the July payment in tlie hands
of the pensioners at tlie earliest pos
sible date. It will be gratifying to
the veterans and their friends
throughout the stale to know that
the lists are nearly eompleted and
that the handsome amount of nearly
a quarter of million dollars will be
ready for distribution within a few
days.
MR. BRYAN MAKES DENIAL.
A current news item is printed
below:
“Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., July
12.—The following from a North
Carolina editor was received at
Fairview today:
‘Tom Watson quotes you as
saying you would never vote for
Confederate veteran. Does
this misrepresent you?’
“In recly Mr. Bryan telegraph
ed that he had never made any
such statement; that he had vo
ted for a Confederate veteran
for speaker of the house of rep
resentatives on three occasions:
that lie voted for Speaker Crisp
twice on roll calls, first in the
52nd congress and again in the
5Jlrd, and voted in caucus for
him in the 513rd congress; lie re
commended an ex-confederate
for postmaster of Lincoln, and
while in congress entertained the
best relations with the ex-confed
erates. He refers any inquiries
to the people of the south who
helped to nominate him three
times, In the Denver conven
tion, every southern state except
two were instructed for him, and
one of the states (Louisiana)
adopted a resolution endorsing
him but not instructing. The
delegates, however, voted for
him as a unit. The other state
was Georgia, where the delegates
were elected on state issues rath
er than on national issues.”
This was used during the cam
paign for the nomination. Its
object was, presumably, to fur
nish shelter for the asinine ac
tion of Georgia’s Denver delega
tion. It was also urged that
Bryan is a “nigger lover.” This
is untrue.
In view of the facts that Taft
is receiving the moral support of
the Macott Telegraph and its ele
ment, and that Watson is wag
trig an active campaign tti Geor
gia, we may expect numerous
fulie statements concerning the
Nebraska standard bearer, who
will be bitterly fought in this
state.
It is encumbent upon the dem
ocrats of Georgia to be vigilant
in the approaching election.—
Sparta Ishmaelite.
THE SCHOOL HOUSE.
The country school house .should
not become neglected and per
mitted to get into bad repair.
Young people do not like to
spend day after day in illy-swept,
poorly-arranged building, even
though it is devoted to the cause
of education, > If the on-coming
generation is to obtain all the
benefit naturally arising from
education the “temple of learn
ing” must be an attractive build
ing and muBt be comfortable.
Too little attention too often is
given to tho school house, and
bui little thought is given of the
health and comfort of the chil
dren receiving their education in
the country school house, lie-
member, these youfhs are to rule
the land later in life.
BUILDINQ CHARACTER.
Substantial houses have been
built in a day, on a wager, but
character cannot be built that
wav, says Farm Journal. It is
virtue of slow growth, made up
like the coral islands of the lit
tl 1 daily accretions. One’s repu
tation is the estimate of the
neighbors, but a man’s character
is what he really is. There is no
finer field in the world for the
development; of character than
on the farm. That is why
many of the men who hgve done
great work for their country and
their time, have been country
bred. If yon nre building up
character in your sons and daugh
ters, von are doing the grandest,
noblest work that can fall to the
hand of man. Blowing, sowing,
reaping and storing in barns—all
else is incidental. Think of this,
brother farmers.

4th Reason Why
Our Bank should have your patronage. As
a business man you can carry Fire and life
Insurance. This costs you money but you .
must have it; it’s PROTECTION. But what
•
about your hard-earned money? If it’s in
some bank is it insured? Will you pay for
you Fire Insurance and Life Insurance and
then not put your money in the Commer
cial-Savings Bank where you get it insured
WITHOUT COST to you? Which would
you do, buy a piece of land where the titles
ase just supposed to be good or another
piece to which the titles are absolutely per
fect? Listen to the click of the coin going
for the perfect title. “FIFTH REASON
WHY,” will be another clinker.
