TO HOLD ANOTHER
•Execulhe
Have Primary Next Monday.
That la to Name Candidate, for the
Legislature and County Commit-
alonera—Mr. R. I. Hlnely Realgned
From Executive Committee Thla
Morning.
(From Wednesday 1 . Dally.)
The Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Lowndes county held a
meeting at the court house thla morn
ing, the object being to formulate a
plan for nominating candidates for
the legislature to succeed Col. J. G.
Cranford, and for county commis
sioner to succeed Mr. iMaxcy Ashley,
both of whom had resigned.
Several plans were proposed. One
was by mass meeting, another was
by mass meetings In each district to
appoint delegates to a convention
here. Another plan was for the
executive committee to name the
candidate, but the committee did
not care to assume that responsibili
ty, even If It could have done so.
Another plan was to hold a regu
lar primary next Monday, let all of
the voters have a chance at It, con
solidate the votes Tuesday and let
the names of the successful candl-
dat> be put upon the ticket for
Wednesday's election. Each candi
date for representative was assessed
$40, though the candidate for coun
ty commissioner was not assessed
at alL
The assessments are to be paid
by Friday night, so It will be known
then Just who are In the race for the
office. Dp to the present time only
two candidates ate In the Held,
Messrs. W. L. Converse and W. T.
Staten. The friends of both candi
dates expect to make an active can
vass from now until the polls are
closed Monday. The polls will re
main open in the country precincts
from I to I o’clock, while In the dty
they will remain open from t to I
o'clock In the afternoon.
A Sensation was Created.
Something of a sonsatlon was cre
ated early after the meeting of the
executive committee met by some
disclosures which the following res
olution brought about:
Whereas, The Democratic Ex- 1
ecutlve Committee of Lowndes
county la supposed to be com
posed of Democrats who abide
by the result of the Democratic
party, and
Whereas' the Interests of the
party cannot be properly guard
ed If there should be upon said
committee any others than avow
ed members In good faith of said
organisation, and
Whereas, further, It Is com
mon report upon the streets of
this city and throughout the
county that there Is one, or
more, mdabers of this executive
committee who have stated that
they would not abide b ytho re
suit of the late primary In Geor
gia. and have openly declared
their Intention to vote for an In
dependent candidate — Tancey
Carter—
Be It resolved, That It is the
sense of this committee that
such members, If there be such,
be asked to resign their posi
tions on such committee so that
their places may be filled by vot
ers who are In accord with the
party In thla state, and who
abide by the will of the majori
ty, as expressed in the late pri
mary election.
It Brought on Argument.
The adoption of the resolution was
seconded and Judge Griffin, the
chairman, left the matter open for
discussion. Mr. R. I. Hlnely opposed
the adoption. He said that be was a
Democrat, but he opposed such a
resolution. Mr. Woodward spoke In
advocacy of the resolution, saying
that It was only Intended to put the
affairs of the party In the bands of
members of the party. Col. Wood
ward put some pointed questions at
Mr. Hlnely, who spoke again.
He said that he had admitted that
he would not vote for Joe Brown be
cause Brown was not a Democrat,
but was going to vote tor Tancey
Carter. He said that he had always
been a loyal Democrat, bnt It the
committee wanted his resignation
because of his opposition to Mr.
Brown he would tender It The mo
tion to adopt the resolution was put
and carried.
Mr. Hlnely’a position ori .the com
mittee was Oiled by the election of
•Mr. Ewell Brown. After that Inci
dent the committee took tip the work
for which the meeting was called.
Every district In the county was rep
resented except Cat Creek and ev

An Easy Remedy Suggested for Turn
ing Disaster Into Success—The
Factors Should Force the Opera
tors to Cut the Crop Down One-
Half—Control of the Markets.
(From Wednesday's Dally.)
Dr. E. P. Rose, of this city, has
written a very Interesting article to
the Industrial Record of Jacksonville
In regard to naval stores, from which
we take the following:
"Everyone connected with this In
dustry must know by this time that
we are now faolng financial oblitera
tion, Poverty and ruin stares us la
the faco and they are not pleasant
associates or companions. Who
among the operators can escape
bankruptcy within the next two or
three years under present conditions?
This touches everybody—from the
focal operator to the factor. Thirty-
flve-cent spirits and corresponding
low prices for rosin mean for the op
erator (he lots of his location and
to the factor the lost of his advances
—hence the man In the woods and
the man In the office are In the tame
cyclone. Both are In distress, break
ers are ahead, the storm signal Is
flying in full view. We see It, we
know It. Why not let’s act sensible
and turn disaster and defeat into vic
tory and success? It can be done.
The remedy Is comparatively easy and
the way plain, clear, effectual. What
Is It? Not to cut a single box, or
put up a tingle cup during the ap
proaching season of 1908, work our
places on halt time, that la, cut down
chipping Just exactly one-half, or In
other words, make barely half a
crop next season.
"The operators should resolve to
do thla—the factors should put the
lid" on to tight as to say yon must
do this. But eomeone says the In
dependent operator will cut boxes
and I must too. Let me tell you, the
independent. operator Is a rare bird,
Indeed. He may exist but ^ serious
ly doubt It. Examine him closely,
and you will find strings tied to him
somewhere; they are so few that
they are scarcely a drop In the buck
et, besides, if ho cures tp act im-
of membership—that these questions
may be discussed and agreements
reached whereby this great industry
may be placed upon a paying basis.
Let the president call us togother.
and let everybody and bis neighbor
attend. Let by-gones be by-gone*

head enough to take car? 9{ (help
accumulations and will join taF
movement to bettor the turpehtihe
situation td 1 tush,
“It will not do to say I will cut
only one crops or two crops. That
Is what we said and did last winter,
and Is now the chief cause of all our
woes—for one man to cut one crop
or even a box In a community Is like
casting a pebble In a lake. It cre
ates a tipple that extends ever wider
to the boundary. That will not do.
We must strike the source of supply,
reduco the output and then the price
will Inevitably go to where our In
dustry will be upon a profitable basis.
Tbls Is true In every other line and
1s absolutely true In turpentine.
“Someone says our market la not
controlled by the law of supply and
demand, but by the manipulator. Be
this as It may—give a short supply
and a long demand, and the price
will go up- In spite of all the manip
ulators this side of the Federal prls-
i.
"The factors will do their part.
They always have. The trouble
heretofore has been that the operator
expects them to do It all, while we
went home and violated his agree
ment and tried to get ahead of bis
neighbor. The operator must realise
and take to his heart and to his con
science (he fact that bis welfare de
pends upon his being honest, not
only to himself but to his fellow-op
erator; that he Is a part of the
whole and that If one link Is broken,
the chain becomes useless.
“These are every-day facts and ev
erybody, even the common turpen
tine negro knows that they are true,
yet they are nevertheless Important
The question Is: can we get together
and stay together? Why not? The
farmers consisting of more than a
million Individuals hare done so, and
why can’t we, less than a thousand
strong, co-operate together for our
own good?

tine Operators’ Association to call
Its members together and Invite ol

PATRONIZE HOME.
VAIddstg Pdopie Need to Pa
thd Home People In All Llnao
EV4r? Valdosta man should bw
proud to Wear a hat or a drew trim
med and made in Valdosta. Every
man ought to feel a sense of prlte
In wearing artloles made at hone.
If there are any Industries In toons,
patronise them—It matters not bow
large or small they are. Don’t be
ashamed to say It Is "home mad*'’
but rather let the tact moan that It
la a little better than can be gotten
elsewhere. *
It has gotten to bo a fad in the
progressive cities of the country to
patronise the home Industries. The
people are ashamed to say that they
send away from home for anythin*
that they can get at home. They
feel as If they are not loyal to their
town to do so. They ride In "bom*
made" buggies, use "home made har
ness, wear “home made clothes, bata
and shoes, If possible, eat "horn*
made" bread, smoke “home madeT*
cigars and stand by the “home man"
every time. 4/
That Is what we want In Valdosta.
We wait more loyalty to the home
Industry, the homS Institution and
the home merchant. Let ns lean to
take a pride In saying that we buy
our things at home. Let us show out
siders that we have faith in the home
man. It will make outsiders harw
morq faith In us and will help alt
around. Like the bread cast upon
the waters, the good thus done win
come to us again.
