Governor Brown’s message to tjie
legislature reads Ilk* that ot a
thorough Democrat, such a* he la. It
Is a document well, worth reading.
forceable In discussing this particu
lar subject than Gov. Brown was in
the message which be sent to the
'eglslature yesterday. He drew a
line distinction between the spasmo
dic passions of the day and the so
ber, sentiment which lives through
time. Governor Brown’* adminis
tration will be remembered for year*
to come as a champion of the laws
—wise tows, well administered.
He also takes up the state's fiscal
system, which Is old and antiquated,
and he suggest* changing It so aa
to put the state upon a more thor
ough business basis. The Governor
wants to see the appropriations and
the receipts so balanced that there
will be no necessity for having to
borrow money to "tide over” for
several months each year. He wants
to see a system by which tbe state
may meet all of Its obligations
promptly, especial reference being
made to the school teachers of tbe
state, who frequently have to go
without their money or have their
claims for service discounted,
amount ot skillful disbursing .can
make a dollar cover an appropria
tion of more than that amount,” he
says.
The Governor discusses the regis
tration laws of Georgia and shows
that It Is tbe moat drastic law In
operation In any state in th* union.
He shows that Instead of "protect
ing” the white citizens of Georgia
lq their rights of suffrage, it “re
stricts” them. He declares that the
law Inflicts an Injustice upon many
citizens and that the law Is “too
complex. In many ways too obtuse,
and entirely coufuslng.” As prev
iously stated, tbe law presumes that
voters are "guilty," though a pre
sumption of "Innocence" to usually
Axed to other laws. The figures
show that the number of registered
white voters In Georgia tost year
were ninety thousand less than the
white voting population. A law
which disfranchises so many white
citizens of a state Is a bad law and
It ought to be repealed.
Governor Brown also discusses
what should be our policy toward
the railroads of the state, as well aa
other Industries, and he does It In
a very clear manher. What he says
upon this subject shows that he un
production of factories or th* shut
ting down of the same has never
caused famine and never will do so.
famine comes from the failure of
the land to produce food and rai
ment; and the nations of the earth
are more concerned albout lta abund
ant yield than they are about bank
deposits, surpluses and the output of
all tbe factories of th* world.
This to true or false. If true, and
we hold that It Is, should Wj not
recognize the potency of land over
the destinies of the nations? Should
we not encourage lta possession and
Its preservation? Should w* not es
teem It worthy of our kindliest at
tention and our sanest legislation?
Productive land surrounding any
city of the world guarantees to tnat
city a prosperous career unless Its
external affairs are so bandied that
It can not partake of the blessings
within Its reach. Productive lands,
however, are not sufficient. The

Us agriculture must be developed If
the city’s permanent prosperity to to

steps to encourage this development

may ibe secured, but that the rural
dwellers may become proaj

ted prosperity of the city.
AH lands are fertile to a degree
that It will produce something. Some
lands are more fertile than others,
and It Is upon this latter class of
lands the world depends largely for
its food. Food consumers are In
creasing far faster than are the food
producers. Untjer a system of agri
culture that la fundamentally wrong

From a study of the evolution In the
consumption of food w* learn that
man Is consuming a greater quantity
of food now than ever before. It Is
easily understood. Our food prducts
are so treated that It to made more

fact to deal with It Is reasonable to

shows that while the subject of

the subject, that It to In reality not

means. He shows that a slight

gests that future reductions be for
the "benefit of the masse#.” The

He point* out the need of more
railroads In Georgia and the double
tracking of the lines already In oper

for the sake of safety and prompt-
neas In handling the business of the
people. He compares other states
with Georgia In the matter of rail
road* that be also showed that one
road, the Pennsylvania, with Its
double track syatem, handled 1SS,-

killing a single one. We must

Modestly Attributes Hto Popularity
to the Great Merits of hi* Modi-
cine—Has blade Price of Plant
Juice so Low Tliat All Can Afford
it, and Hollered Sufferers Are
Duly Grateful.
Tbe deep interest displayed by tbe
people of Valdosta In the famous
Plant Juice remedies, now being In
troduced In this section through
local dealers by Col. Frank A. Dil
lingham and tbe quick manner In
which these remedies have convinc
ed the local public of their great
worth, has resulted In so much com
ment and speculation that Plant
Juice Is now a general topic of dis
cussion In this vicinity. To those
residents of this section who have
not become familiar with Plant
Juice through Its use and to those
who have not had an opportunity
to wltnes* Its marvelous power over
disease and sickness, lta sudden
bound Into popular favor to not
readily-understood. When asked to
explain the popularity of Plant
Juice, Col. Dillingham smilingly re
plied.
“Any popularity which the Plant
Juice remedies may acquire Is not
by any means due to salesmanship
advertising. All success that
comes to them Is due to the formula
from which they are made and the
manner In which they prove their
worth upon being Introduced In
community. Good health after all,
la worth more than anything else In
the world, and because Plant Juice
Is able to help these poor sufferers,
with little or no hope before them,
for this reason, and this alone does
It win the confidence and respect
of the public.”
Plant Juice Is sold upon terms
and at prices within reach of all.
