We want Factories established in
Toccoa—attd no place In the entire

factory had better look at Toccoa’s
advantages.

It is feared that Alabama’s pto

Mexico and Guatemala are pre

thnc« bonds, the complaint of use¬
lessness and illegality made against
the issue, and all^he ®ther causes
of smouldering discontent which
are at work to produce an outbreak
in congress when it convenes next
month, are elements which will en¬
ter into the impending contest.
Where the president will stand,
who will be his supporters and
what will be the effect on the na¬
tion are questions of no small im¬
portance at this time. „
The gold reserve in the national
treasury one day last week amount¬
ed to $60,711,518. Not only its
depleted condition, but the possible
effect of the cori!lng^tgk«tipn of fi¬
nancial questions in congress may
have induced the administration to
bring about another issue of bonds
to strengthen the small reserve on
which the entire currency system
is based.
Our Thanksgiving Offer.
It-gives us great pleasure to give
to each subscriber of The Toccoa
Times a copy of the beautiful pic

patrons.
\V e give this picture to out sub
scribers as a fair sample of the
good things to be found in Ihe

W o Will present some new fea

Subscribers of The Times will
from time to time note - some new
feature to their paper which is done
and given gratis. We intend to
have 2000 subscribers by next

work for them, which vve will do.
There is not a paper in this sec

pie that The Times has. We are do
ing our best to aid in settling new
people in our midstand building

Free Mail Delivery.
The question of rural free mail
delivery which was brought up
again tn the sessions of the nation¬
al grange at Springfield, Ill., isonc
which every farmer and resident oi
rural territory should regard with a
view to the practical steps neces¬
sary' to attain the results desired.
A« the secretary of the Springfield
congress said in his address, there
ia no reason to doubt that an effici¬
ent and satisfactory rural delivery
service could be put in operation at
an early day without inflicting a
heavier burden of expense upon the
postofficc department than the re¬
sults would warrant.
What those results would be no
farmer, living in the isolation of a
home too far from the postoffice for
daily communication, needs to be
told. Of the various agencies
which before long will tend to turn
back the stream of popple flowing
from the country to the citiea none
will be more influential than the
establishment of rural free mail de¬
livery. Once let the farmers have
this necessity and good roads and
country life will be far less the
thing of loneliness and isolation
that it is now.
It is true that fanners should pay
heed to the suggestions made in the
grange congress and take steps
an organised effort for free mail de¬
livery. They are entitled to it and
they quo have ia if they will but
r
, i some uractic*
' n f.
creased cost. The, investigations
of Mr. Wanamaker while postmasj
ter-general go far toward establish¬
ing this.
A Task for the Christian World.
In the further reports of the hor¬
rible atrocities committed by the
Turks upon their helpless Arme¬
nian subjects there are indications
of an issue which within a very
short time must, enlist the com¬
bined efforts of the entire Chris¬
tian world, irrespective of nation¬
ality. If but a small part of the
story of bloodshed and rapine is
true, it can hardly be considered
possible that the Christian peoples
of the earth should refrain from
stern, and ‘immediate measures to
punish the crime and prevent the
possibility of its repetition.
The Armenian people are dis¬
tributed over the three countries of
Russia, Persia and Turkey, and in
section they are more or less
subjected to the unjust discrimina
<-j ons c f the ruling powers. Rut
^jj C oppression, which in Persia
j j n R uss j a takes a comparative
jy jujjj form, is in Turkey out
g eous an( j without restraint. To
Armenian with his Christian
f a jth is an object of detestation
proper subject for any sort of
it is not as citizens of
but as Christians, that the
Armenians are subjected to the im
position of extortionate taxes and
crue jty which the Kurd tribes,
gug tained as they are by the Turkish
do not fear to inflict
„pon every Christian against whom
p re t ex t f or cruelty can be invent
The /Iaw w |,j c |, permits the
imposition of an annual tax upon
y Christian male child fromiiis
birth to his death, and adds another

w hen he reaches the age of 15,is the

ai&eation that the

{%t aore thac t0 ™ e3t j ons .
, cl s?e. The tortures which
e Armenian people have endured
are ^ ^ rgt a j^ due to their ad
j ierence to Christianity.
The Christian and civilized world
will have only one course to pur
sue. It is preposterous to suppose
that the Christian pations of Eu¬
rope and America can stand idly
by and allow’ an inferior and semi
barbarous power to murder human
beings by the thousands because
human beings happen to be
Christians. It will not be surpris¬
ing if the next few weeks witness
co-opcration of the Christian so¬
and governments of the
world in a movement which will
teach the sovereign power of Tur¬
key that its future existence as a
nation will depend
upon its putting a stop to the mur¬
der of Christian Armenians.
