BAINBR1DGE, GEORGIA SEPT, io
“Bryan and Brown” may be allit
erative, bnt they don’t seem to stand
together to an alarming extent in
Georgia,
Mr. Tatt demands that justice be
made cheaper, bat not so anything
about the price of trust-controlled
necessaries of life.
-The Farmers’ Union bas fixed tbe
minimum price tor cotton this sea*-
bob at 12 cents. If they only suc
ceed we shall be happy.
The weather wise say that the
present moon is a wet one. The
local blind tigers doubtless agree
that this is correct.
The legislature has been ham
mering away at the convict question
tor two weeks, and is apparently no
nearer settling it than when the
hammering began.
A Pennsy vania man hasn’t spoken
in thirty years because he wae once
jilted by a girl. Perhaps this may
explain Little Joe’s silence daring
tbe campaign and now?
Congressman Griggs will stump
the Second District in the interest
of the candidacy of Mr. Bryan for
president. He will speak in each
of the eighteen counties of the dis
trict, co-operating with the county
chairmen in the matter of dates,
r
Tbe Knights Templar have a
lodge in this city and the Uniform
Rack was organized here on last
Friday night Several Thomasville
Templars were on hand and assisted
in the installation work. Th? lodge
here is in a prosperous condition
-*and we bid them god speed in the
work ol this noble order.
Mr. Bryan’s proposition to have
the deposits in national banks guar.
anteed by the government and the
declaration in layor of having the
banking laws so amended as to af
ford this protection to depositors
are causing the Republican leaders,
including Candidate Tatt, to sit up
and take notice.
Dimes to doughnuts that Geor ■
gia’s next state primary will be
narrowed down to white Demo
crats, which done, with the reform
registration law and tbe adoption
of the nigger disfranchisement
constitutional amendment adopted
in October, the people will come
into their inheritance again. God
speed tbe consummation!
Those esteemed paragraphers who
have been shedding alligator tears
over the North Augusta bridge
should take notice that the trolley
cars ha.e resumed their regular
schedules, making transfers by
means, of a temporary suspension
foot-bridge, and that the dispensary
steck was saved.—Augusta Herald.
Ah! Thanks, awtully. Then Au
gusta’s deluge was unlike Noah’s?
Let the state continue tbe W. <fc
A. rai'roaa to the sea. Let it begin
at once. It will take several years
to do this woik, and while it is be
ing done it necessarily follows that
the convicts will be divided into
gangs along the proposed work. It
takes only guai is and tents to
keep them m confinement on this
character of work, end it will take
several years to do the wo:k. In
tbe meantime a commission ap.
pointed by the governor can be
looking into the question as to the
best methods < f careing for the
state convicts, and determine upon
tbe Bame, and after reaching a con
clusion, go immediately to work to
perfect ita plans.
Stand By Your Colors
If those who supported a candi
date in tbe white primary who was
defeated in that primary were free
to vote for another candidate run m
opposition to tbe white primary
nominee at the regular election, then
there would be no use for a white
primary. The supporters of Gov.
Smith, were they free to take this
coarse and chose to do so, could
defeat Joe Brown, for the small lead
he had over Gov. Smith in tbe pri-
m ry would be more than overcome
by the vote which was excluded
from the primary. But it this were
dose it would be the end of the
white primary system. What would
be the use of white primary, it its
result was not binding? The white
primary would be a farce. It would
fall into contempt and would be
discontinued. And then agam
“hell would break loose in Georgia,”
Faith and common sense m the
consideration of what is best for the
state, demand that every man who
participated in the primary support
its nominees in the general election,
and the supporters of Hoke Smith,
deeply disappointed though they
may be, will not stultify themselves,
as the Georgian intimates they wiM,
by failing to sustain the white pri
mary system - against this assault
that is to he made on it in tbe put.
ting out of a candidate against the
white primary nominee.
The New Registration
Law
The principal provisions of the
new registration law are as follows:
Section 1 requires the,voters’ books
to be closed 'six months before the
general election. This adjusts itself
to the constitutional amendment,
which requires every one to pay his
taxesjsix months before the election.
Section 2 requires that no one
shall be allowed to register unless
he actually takes the oath. This
carries out or safeguards toe present
law.
Section 3 requires the tax collec
tor to file the voters’ list with the
registrars within ten days after
closing voters’ books, instead of
waiting until twenty days before
the election, as now provided by
law.
Section 4 provides that the officers
whose duty it is to file with the reg
istrars the list of disqualified voters
shall file it by April 20th, instead of
July 1st, as now provided by law.
Section 5 provides that the reg
istrars shall complete their work
and file tbe registration list by June
1st. Under the old law they had
until the morning of the election. It
also provides for assistant registrars
when necessary.
Section 6 gives any one the right
to challenge any name on the list
which he thinks ought not to be
there, and provides for a hearing.
This is an amendment to the present
law.
Section 7 provides that no one
shall vote unless his name is on the
list.
The Democrat’s Position
To stand up for ail live Demo
cracy in this day and time—when
many of its leaders have laid dowu
to corporate influence and corporate
displeasure, means that we are not
taking the road which leads to easy
financial success. We realize that
when we enter our protest against
corporate control and corporate dic
tation as to whom s’ all fill the of
fices of this state, we incur the dis
pleasure of ithese gentlemen. We
realize what that displeasure means,
and have felt before the heavy hand
of the same. We know that if we
are aggressive in our fight
against their dictation and inter
ference in state affairs, that there are
many way6 in which they can make
us feel it to our financial loss. We
know that it is much eas’er io suc
ceed financially “ganging” with
them, and thereby add to our rev
enue. Yet with the above know,
ledge and experience we expect to
remain steadUst and “hew to the
line,” for we believe when the indi
vidual suiTenders to them from such
fear or for any advantage he mav
gain for himself politically or other*
wise, manhood is at a discount and
self-respect a thing of tbe past, and
when the masses reach that condi
toon, that dav we become a country
populated, on the one haad by tbe
autocrat and master and on the
other by the serf and the slave.
We are a firm believer m equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none, and believe that this doctrine
should apply to corporations as well
as to individuals. In other words,
their rights should be considered,
their interest protected, and at no
time should they be mulcted by tax
atiou or heavy damage suit verdicts,
but we do insist that the corpora
tions keep out of politics—out of
offiee. This done they will find
that the people are honest and re-
spossive, and will demand their
protection in the legislative halls,
and will give them justice m the
jury boxes. But until the corpora
tions quit fighting ai, tbe people, the
people will not quit fighting them,
and tbe latter often times, go too
far.
There is a middle ground for the
people and the corpor jtions to stand
upon. Let us get on i , then all
this discussion and turmoil will
cease and matters ©f state move
smoothly.
Laziness and Strap Oil
The esteemed Aug-usta Herald
observes that laziness is a disease is
quite clear, and that the hookworm
is the cause may be true. ' But for
tunately there is an unfading rem
edy for this disease, “it wi'l com
pletely eradicate the toqkworm
from the human system, and it.wiH
do it without pills or lotions,without
hypouertn c injections or scientific
inoculation. It consists of a heating
application to the .skin, by means of;
any instrument calculated. ,tq pro*
duce the required effect. > -
Strange that the scientist* <ebo aid
completely overlook "this. It ; has
long been known that the strap* or
whatever instrument may be enr
ployed, is an nnfailing cure for. lazi
ness. But that is the trouble with
science. It wants to do in a scien
tific way what can as easily and
more effectively be done in a prac
tical way.
Laziness oonld be completely
cured and its spread prevented by
the establishment of a sanitarium
tor patients afflicted with the lazy
disease, where a proper treatment
with strap or rod would be admins
istered, and the patients dismissed
on probation as soon as signs of
convalescence aopeared. The very
fact of such a sanitarium In a corns
munity, to ‘which every patient
would be consigned ^as soon aB he
was found by competent authority
to he suffering from an attack ol
hookworm, would almost certainly
lead to the disappearance of the
disease.’
But then, this would not he scien.
tific, and “scientists would never
agree to the employment of such a
practical remedy.
Don’t Talk.
By this we do not mean to keep
eternal silence, but m< rely not to
talk when reserve would he better.
Not to bear tales, communicate
things not your own secrets, or to
blab things in unguarded moments
that will hear a fruitful harvest of
trouble and trials The poet says
“Learn to hold thy tongue. Five
words cost Zacharias forty weeks of
silence.” There is more truth than
poetry in the suggestion. Bacon
also says: "‘Discretion in speech is
more than eioqienee.”—Ex.
OASTORZA.
