»• THE QEMOCRAT JWO. M. BROWN, Editor A M’g’r OFFICIAL GAZETTE OF SHERIFF, ORDINARY, CLERK SUPERIOR COURT AND COUNTY COMMIS SIONERS. Entered »6 second class mail matter fet, Bainbridge, Ga., postoffice. 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.
