“The south must solve the negro

but the south will not be able to do it
if the northern meddlers continue to

Dr. Len Broughton has denounced
“The Clansman’" and Dr. Dixon has re

Those three thousand spellbinders

The people of the illh district are

Civil service Is a thing that we have
all fought and worried over, but there
Is danger of having even too much of
a good thing. Shiftless government
employes should bo at the disposal
of the heads of the depnrtmeuts.
Now the roport comes that Mr.
Roosevelt wants to “butt In’’ and
arbltry the payment of some old
bonds which wore repudiated by
several southern states. His name
will be Buttinsky yet, If he does not
look out.
Senator Depow Is taking no active
part In tho eloctlon In Now York. It
will requlro all his reserve energy to

has been associated.

Tom Dixon claims that “The Clans
man” Is Intondod to help solve the
race problem, though it causes a race

for the paper through the city shows
that It is filling a “long felt want'
and that in the short period of Its life
It has become a fixture with a large
portion of the people of the city.
But the paper Is not having the sup
port which It should get from the bus
Iness men of the city. Many of them
have professed to want to see a dally
paper started here, so they could reach
the people every day with their an
nouncements. Some of those who were
the loudest in talking what "ought
to he" before the Daily was started
have not contributed a line to Its sup*
port now that It has become a living
fact.
The Dally Times is a small paper,
we admit, hut is read more closely
that a much larger one would be. It
does not print all of the news of thO
world every day, but it prints the
cream of the most important events
from every quarter and It prints in
short, tabloid form, to suit the bust'
ness man, the house-wife and others
who have not time to wade through
columns of rubbish in order to reacb
one little grain of fact. ~
Take the Daily Times today, yester
day or tomorrow, and compare it with
any afternoon daily paper in the coun
try and we venture the assertion-that
you will find as much worth retitetober-
lug In Tho Times as you will find In
any of tho rest of them. If it is small
It is because It has less of rubbish in

By actual measurement, It carries
more columns of reading matter than
many of the dally papers that haVe

We are very anxious to increase the
size of tlie paper to eight pages and
will do so just as soon as our advertis

Every merchant in Valdosta ought
to show his appreciation of the service
which The Times Is trying td give the
city by putting an advertisement in
Tho Dally Times. If we did not know
that they would be the beneficiaries
we would not expect it of them. We
do not want an advertisement from
any one unless we can give value for
value.
In the meantime, we hope that our
subscribers will read the advertise

mention it in doing their shopping.

YESTERDAY AND TODAY.
The mutability of folks, ns wel as
things, was hardly ever more fully
demonstrated than In the changed at
titude of many peoplo of tho South
toward Theodore Roosevelt since his
trip through this section. It is prob
ably best that people are changeable
in their Ideas of men nnd measures.
The changing of the wind? and the
churning of water keeps one pure and
fresh and the other fretn stagnating.
If people did not change their minds
thoy would brood over Imaginary
grievances and wrongs until they
would become “pizen” with a desire
for revenge or “raw” with hatred of
their fellow men.
President' Roosevelt, during the
first three years of his tenuure of of-
fleo ns president of the United States
was about ns unpopular with the
southern people as he could be. The
the questions that affect them
have felt that he was genuinely Inter
ested in their welfare. While not re
canting in the slightest degree oJ^any
position they have taken bermP-re,
the people of the south are more ready
to believe that the president Is a big
ger man than they thought he) was
few years ago. 1

Georgia Is declaring that Rwli^veit

THI DEVELOPING^SOUTH. *
The recent report of the’ Southern
railway Shows that along its line M
the south during the year ending Jute
20, 1906, there wer# “completed and
put in operation 46 textile mills, 34
furniture factories, 38 Iron industries,
6 tanneries, 77 stone quarries and coal
mines, 3 cotton seed oil plants 8 fer-,
tillzer works and more than 600 small
er Industries. Over 260 previously ex
isting plants were enlarged during
year and 64 new industries wer? m
construction at the close of
Cojmmentlnj
vannah Nows^hotes that
was along the lines of one railway
tem, aggregating some 7,000 miles.
While the Southern covers and sup
plies transportation for a considerable
and progressive section of the south,
it is but a small section when com
pared with the whole south. And If
there has been such marked and grat
ifying progress along the lines of the
Southern, what Is to be expected of
the rest of the south? Why, man
ifestly, that other communities have
kept step with those along the lines of
the Southern railway. The develop
ment has not been in spots; It has
been general. Nor has there been
anything suggestive of a boom; the
growth has been normal and on heal
thy lineB. During the past year the
people of the south have had more
money for betterments than* for a
good many years, and they have Invest*
ed it largely at home. Every now
mill erected, every manufacturing car
padty. Increased consumptlonof raw
material, Increased number of opera
tives and a large volume of money
put Into circulation.”
The News justly adds that the
Southern railway “deserves great cred
It for the good work that It has done
and Is doing towards the settlement
and development of the lands and oth
er resources along Its lines. It is
proceeding upon the Idea that in order
to be prosperous itself It must have a
prosperous constituency, therefore, *lt
is devoting energy and Intelligence,
as well as money, to bringing in new
settlers, and encouraging the building
of mills and factories In its territory.”
