Y.,the other day, among other things Secretary Taft said: After mentioning the various means of disfranchising voters, he declared that such laws were proper if applied with equal, fairness to both white and black; and he expressed the hope that the colored citizens, under the leadership of such men as Booker T. Washington, would become respected business members of the commu lties in which they live, and when they exercised independence of judges merit in respect of political issues wc may he sure that gradually the right to vote will be accorded them — j and they will exercise a far more t is ‘the lemon” we all | useful influence ns intelligent and are judged by their acts, solid members of the community In'll we receive the un 4 tf an the ignorant members of their larsh—the <>■ her fellow, j race would have exercised had they nii't see the act or nets j been allowed to vote. In this way, through devious ways which cannot be justified or approved, we may still reach a result that will square w ith the requirements of the federal constitution aud will give to the negro every political and economic right. “The negro is necessary to the south as a laborer—skilled and un* skilled. The world over today there is a demand for labor, and were the negro to be withdrawn from the South, the difficulties under which agriculture won’d labor can hardly be overstated. The negro is an American. He has no other country than this; and called upon to defend it, he lays down his life with the game freedom that the white man sacrifices his. Ours is the flag he loves—the only one he knows. It is our duty to see that h’s path is made *as easy as possible, and that his progress is as incessant as proper encouragement can make it. “His best friend—the one who can do the^most for him and the one in many respects who sympa- thizes'with him most—is the South ern white man. He knows his vir tue and if the negro responds to the opportunities for improvement as Booker T Washington points them out, we can be sure that he will grow mi the estimation of his*white feiiow’citizci 6 o* the South, and that the g’eaUprob cm which has burdened the South will be largely solved. “The Fifteenth Amendment does notiequire that every negro should vote All that it requires is that he should not be excluded from voting because be is a negro. If be lacks educational qualifications, property qualifications, or any other specification that the state may law* fully impose ss a rule of ineligi bility lor its voters, then he may be txeluued. provided that every one else who lacks similar qualifications is equally excluded. “The Fifteenth Amendment meres ly intended to secure him in his political rights from race diserimin’ ation by the states. It is not m* tended to give him firmative pri/i- leges as a member of his race. Its stiiet enforcemrnt does n ’t involve an amalgamation of the races, and has nothing to do with social asso elation or equality It does not involve so called negro domination, and to permit the question at this late day, forty years att-.r the war to control the votes of intelligent men m respect to issues that are living, is to indicate the lack of sense of proportion, which I cannot think will continue to manifest itself in the South.” This speech has had a w ide cir culation north and so ith and been j extensively commented on. the lh in. crat wants the farmers bring their cotton to Bainbridge t as long as the prices paid here «* paid at competitive They arc entitled to re- ly highest prices for it lieve they can in this >itl tor Bainbridge and for De + ca’.ur county, or “hit the grit.” All 1 together hkc the “Bundle of L *dck-' representing combined n gth; one twig by itself is a "(ukling. “United we stand; divid* “The world is theirs ‘ t'taie lax rate this year will 1 mills, or $5.00 on each $>1,000 'petty n turned for taxation. •'a< necessitated ky the ex* indulged by the last 'i’sti iii u and its fool legisla* '!..-e policies for appropria- ‘ the People’s money exceeded : * income. the press to announce 'pie of the Second dis h> represented m con* tntthmg more than an —Dawson News, are—and something oian a demijohn of r. g. v ; altho there’s something in *Pwa coat that the demijohn t reckon with before the unary. ’ Savannah News nas either '• moiled to the Prohibition 0t ’‘‘“c* it believes the blind 1 locker clubs will be a’> • a free hand in Savannah next ar r: “Those persons who ,,r war-1 to Savannah’s acen ' - the dust and cobwebs of ’ afrer January 1st next are : to disappointment.

Feel “ 1 -late pulse if you do not t!lv circulation * heahhy j. ’ ‘-‘inutunity’s In art is in the w^fiao «crxi£ Judicious Advertising. In Bainbridge, as elsewhere, where people come to get their fall and winter goods, there is evidenced preparation in the number of great boxes, emptied of their contents, that are piled front and rear of the business establishments. Now that the goods are in the stores, and more arriving daily, comes the ser* ious consideration, tor the merchant, is what paper, or papers, to advei* tise to reach those who have, or will have, money to spend. Some papers have a large foreign circular tion, papers that go out of the state, and away from the immediate vicim lty of the place where they are pub* lished, and this realizes no return to <the advertising merchant; nor will it profit to utilize a campaign blis ter, that is eve Descent, and but floats on the surface of a pond. An old, established paper like The Democrat, as a matter of course has an extensive solid, home circulation; it reaches all classes, it goes everywhere; the fashionable-madam in her sumptuous parlor who wants a dainty silk and the matron in the country who wants only a gingham. But they all want, something and they go to the good old, reliable family newspaper to see who has got what tliex want for sale. So those now buy who never bought before, and those who always bought, now buy the more. Municipalities are like individuals —they become sick. Theretore it is humane and proper that the offi cers should retire from the strenu* oneness of theiT duties (before they become bald and otherwise afflicted) and take a rest, leaving it to other qualified persons to fill their places. Too protracted work gets the mind befogged. Retirement is a nerve bracer, but some are like lichens, you can’t get them off the office unless you pull them off. Again, those not wholly millionaires, sometimes leel as though hey might not get en ough milk if they ceased milking the public cow. But, of this there is no fear; don’t we read “Behold the lilies of the field, neither do th- j toil nor no they spin, and yet Solo*, men iu all his glory, was ne’er ar* rayed like one of these”, and it is probable that his pants were turned up three inches at the bottom Deity himself took a rest on the “seventh”. Let us give our city administration an opportunity to pasture; to oozone themselves. Mean* i while the city government will im- j prove and taxpayers wi o have been | treated unfairly by reason of un* j equal and elastic assessments and • ot her features <>f city life, will divest j themselves of their scowls and come out into the golden sunshine of municipal happiness. Moving to Decatur. A special from Americas encoor* agingly says: (and this is getting to be universal): “There will be an exodas of farmers from Americus and vicinity in October to the toNfi- co growing region near Bainbridge, Ga., and Quincy, Fla. Already a half dozen Americus men hold lucras tive positions there, and seven others art preparing to go October 1st. Among them two members of the Americus police force, who will lay aside the club for the hoe — the short handle for the long ha n I lew All of them have been guaranteed good paying positions as farm super* intendents on the tobacco planta- ; lions.” You cannot keep people from ! flocking to a land where $500 to ; $1,600 per acre is realized on a ] single crop, plauted, harvested and ! sold inside of six months’ time, wi ii i holiday the re&t of the year. concerns m Mac- .md the county. W ithout his sig* : e, the proposed clubs cannot be ts .. :; *!ied. For the same reoouu we are ing Judge W. of the Albany Circuit, who also is a Pro< hibitionist and a Christian geotle- man. Phonograph politicians are jubi* lant—sugarcane is coming in boun. tifully and they can now light in vigorously and strengthen that mem* her of the head they will have the most use tor in superinducing pen spiration of the chin. Goodness Revival Needed. 01d*faehioned goodness is the fasnion that most needs revival in these new times, says the Nash* ville American. The present serious mood of the world has enabled men to see for themselves that the st.err ling virtues alone can save society from the da”gerous tendencies ’of frivolity, luxury and money-madness which threaten it. These days need afresh infus on of indiyidual right’ onsness — the sort of “salt” that means sobriety, honor, purity and kindly helpfulness We can man age to worry along for a t me with* out any more automobile or society sensations, but we are bound to go to smash unless we have plain, homely goodness'in the heaitsof the people. Nothing permanently benefits the race which does not elevate the moral character of the people “God give us men! A time ’ike tnis demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor; men who w 11 not lie; v Men who can stand before a dem agogue And damn his trecherons flatteries without wfciking; TaM men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog, In p. blic duty and in private think ing.”—J. G. Holland. U->right men and women are the only sure pillars of society. Unusual interest is manifested in England by English spinning and manufacturing concerns in the Cot ton Congress to be held in Atlanta, next month. Two hundred delegates have been chosen. Up to the Judges. If Judge Felton, ot Macon Su ■ perior court, sticks to the posit o i i tie has taken, prospective clu > or* ganizvrs will find ail kinds of trouble securing charters under which to do : business. Judge Felton has stat ’d j D ; that lie will graut no charier that in any way resembles a scheme to evade the t r ihibition law, ami that it is not his intention to become « party to any scheme by whi. h li quors can be dispensed m Macon. As Judge Felton occupies the posi tion of Judge of the Superior Court, it is in his line of duty to sign all orders granting charters to all new The large Turner-Birkhead hosiery mills, a leading industry East, have closed down, throwing 2,000 em ployees out of work, due to want of yarn, “the largest industries of the the country having purchased the output o! th“ Southern cotton fields,” according to a dispatch of the As sociated Press, which may be regard ed as reliable. Brad street reports, in the whole sale market, that fall jobbing trade has improved, and that goods that had been ordered back have since •been ordered forward. Retail mer chants are evidently expecting and preparing for a lively Fall trade. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

Not that they are more pious than heretofore but for a mundane utili tarian purpose, those officers of rail* wa s whose practice it was to issued passes have gone into an examina* tion ot the Bible, with a concordance and now' when application is made f <r a pass, the aoplicant’s attention is called to the following: “Thon shnlt not nass.”-Ntim.xxl:8 “None shall ever pas*.”—Isa.iii:29 “The wicked shall no more pass.’ 4 Nahum 4:15. “This generation shall a** .” —Dark ixx:20. “Though they roar, yet they can not pass.”—Jer. v:2. **So he paid his tare and went.”— Jonah 1:2.

Y., writes: “I gladly add my mite of praise to Peruna for what it has done for me. Two years ago a depressed feeling took hold of me. My back and aides ached continually. My stomach got out of order so that at times I could not hold a glass of cold water. 1 didn’t like to eat, afraid that my stomach would get sick. I have been using Peruna for the three past'months and now I feel as well as l ever,did. My stomach is as strong as ever and my nervous troubles have disappeared 1 keep recommending Peruna to my friends who are troubled as I was, and I have been thanked for doing so ” Mrs. Wilda Mooers, R. P. D. 1, Lents, Ore., member Order of Wash ington, writes: “For the past four years I was a wretched woman suffering with troubles peculiar to my sex, causing severe backache and bearing down pains and leaving me sc weak and weary that it was only with dif ficulty that I was able to attend to my household duties. I used differ ent remedies and injections, bnt I found no relief until I had tried Peruna. Within two weeks there was a complete change for the | better and in less than three months ) II was a well and happy woman and ' all the praise Is due to Peruna.. ” MRS. NELSON. Headache and Backache. Mrs. Tressie Nelson, 609 N. 5th Are., Nashville, Tenn., writes: “As Peruna has done me a world-nt good, I feel in duty bound to tell of it, in hopes that it may meet the eye of some woman who has suffered as I did. For five years I really did not know what a perfectly well day was, and if I did not have headache, I had backache or a pain somewhere and really life was not worth the effort 1 made to keep going. I “A good friend advised me to use Peruna and 1 was glad to try anything, and I am very pleased to say that six bottles made a new woman ot me and I have no more pains and life looks bright again.” The above testimonials represent actual experience of every-day life. They are the truthful utterances of women who have been ill and have found a reliable remedy in Peruna. It means a great deal to the women of America who have at hand a remedy capable of performing such cures. Hervousness, backache, dyspepsia, headache, melancholy, bearing down pains. All these and a host of other symptoms are relieved by Peruna. At least this is what the women say. They have no object in saying such things, except to render truthful testimony to their suffering sisters. The reader will note by reading these testimonials that in most cases other remedies were tried, doctors were consulted, and finally Peruna came to their rescue and made them well ugr.in. Peruna is making such cures every day. It is the testimony of the people that has made Peruna so justly famous The Democrat to the guost ot the Tribune: “Sbo fly! don’t bother me.” Suffered Thirteen Years. Mrs. Anna Munden, Hollygrove, Ark., writes: “I suffered with female troubles for thirteen years. “I saw an advertisement of yonr Peruna and bought one bottle and be fore I had taken It all I could get out of bed sued walk about. ••After taking three bottles I was as well and hearty as ever and gained in desk. I would not be without it.” Headache and Deafness. Mrs. Mary E. Sampson, Londonderry, N. writes: *‘1 had terrible headaches, both ears run and I was nervons all the time, was aeaf in one ear for thirty years. I took six bottles of Peruna and one of Manalin, and am happy to say that it is the best medicine that I ever heard of. I am not so nervous, my appetite is good, every thing I eat agrees with me, and I am feeling better In every Tray.” 'A Severe Cold. Miss Marie Calvin, 927 Main street, Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: “I caught a cold coming home from an evening party and as I did not pay particular attention to it, I quickly be came worse and found myself in t serious condition. “I took Peruna and it brought me 1m mediate relief. Within a week 1 vu cured and now whenever I feel badlj Peruna will set things right.”
