Under ordinary circumstances it is the policy of t.he New, Era to refrain from taking any active part in county politics. For obvious reasons most county papers find this the best policy. For what does it profit a newspaper or its readers for it to take sides in a contest where the personality of the candidates and their capability of performing the duties of the offices, are the principal things considered. But there come times when there is more at stake than the choice among individuals for an |»ffice. There are times when some vital principles are involved and the individuals are only to be considered secondarily to these principles. So we think a time has now come in the political history of this county when it i^our duty to express ourselves in clear and unmistakable language concerning certain candidates who have announced themselves subject to the “final election in October.” When the New Era expresses itself upon this matter we believe it voices the sentiment of the vast maiority of the citizens of Paulding county. On the fourth day of last June a primary was held in this county for the purpose of choosing men to represent the peo ple in the state legislature, an ordinary for the county, and to select other county officers. In that primary practically all of the white voters of the county participated and cast their ballots for candidates running for the respective offices. Every man who voted in the primary by so doing pledged himself “to abide the result of said primary and sup port the party nominees.” One who did not intend to support the nominees of the primary was not a qualified vo ter in the primary. There is no one who intends to vote for the independent candidates but who would have expected every one to abide the result of the primary if his choice had been declared the nominees of the primary. There has never yet been a deliberate crime committed or a deliberate wrong done unless the perpetrator could find some plausible reason that satisfied his own conscience. The voters of this county may expect to hear between now and the election in October all sorts of excuses fdr the candidacy of the independents. No doubt these independents themselves voted in the pri mary. If so, when they offer themselves as independents they break their implied pledge to support the nominees of the primary. But whether or not they themselves voted in the primary, they are asking the voters of the county who did vote in the primary to go back on the ple’dge they im pliedly made to support the nominees. . The men who voted in the primary did so with theexpec tation that the nominees of the primary would' not be op posed by white men in the general election, but that these nominees would fill the offices to which they were elected in the primary. What reason is there to appeal from the decision of the white voters of Paulding county as expressed in the June election? Was not this election fair? If there was any un fairness we have never heard of it. But if there were unfair ness or fraud in any respect there is a way to contest such elections without asking the good citizens of this county to break their solemn obligation to support the ones who were declared nominees of the primary. If these independents were dissatisfied why did they not proceed at once to contest Tho klekor an4 the growler seldom the result of the primary ? They certainly have a poorer Hee iho bright «uie ofiife. Like tho - n j on q £ t jj e c it; zeIls 0 t p au lding county than we have if lnuek raker they east a blight upon r ” they believe that these citizens will elect them in October after having voted in the primary to choose men for these same offices. There is no use to mince words about it. If a person is not willing to abide by the will of the white people of the county as expressed in a regularly conducted primary that person is not the man the county needs to fill an office of any kind whatsoever. Citizens of Paulding county, the honor of the county is at stake! The purity of its politics is at stake ! Will we up hold the honor of the county, or will we go back on a solemn obligation to support the nominees in a. regularly conducted The man who voted In the primary, whatever tils politics may be, Is Don or bound to support the nominee, Tho fall term of the Seventh Dis trict Agricultural school opened Monday morning. Wo hope the term will ho a prosperous one. Hon. John Temblo Graves was no tified in Atlanta last week of his nomination for vice-president by the I lutbpondenco League party. Commissioner of Agriculture Hud son says the cotton crop of Georgia Iihs been damaged by the recent rains to the amount of 600,000 bales, worth $25,000,000.

Wouldn’t this be a “glorious old town” to live in If every man would attend to his own business and grant that one privilege to his fcllowmau. Remember, meddler, “’tls a long lane that has no turning.” At their convention, recently held at Fort Worth, Tex., the Farmers’ Union did a number of good things in the Interest of tho farmers, one particularly was a step to eliminate tlie middleman in the handling of the cotton crop.

We have faith in the people to believe that they will stand united in the effort to hold up the fair name and the integrity of the county. This is not simply a question as to the personal fitness of the regular nominees or the indepen dents; it is a question of principle that goes to the very foun foundation of the civic virtue of the county. The citizens of this county cannot afford to let themselves be led away by these independent candidates. Too much depends upon it. One of the most solemn obligations rest upon a man is his duty as a citizen. A failure to faithfully carry out this duty deserves nothing but reproaches and con demnation. To faithfully perfoi m this duty of citizenship calls for highest praise. DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS. Pursuant to a call of the chair man, J. VV.
