N EDUCATIONAL FUND FOR
WORTHY YOUNG MEN.
An effort is being made in Thom-
asville to create a loan fund for boys,
who desire to go to college, but who
are prevented from doing so by the
absence of funds. The matter is be
ing studied by a number of prominent
men here at the present time and a
plan has been evolved by which a
trusteeship will be created from
among those who subscribe to act in
perpetuity for the purpose of determ
ining to whom the loans shall be
made, on what conditions and of so
uring a sufficient fund to carry it on.
This is a vitally important matter.
There are a hundred men in Thomas-
vtlle, who have repeatedly seen the
feed for a college education in their
rwn lives and who have never failed
to deplore the feet that they could not
» received it. When a boy is in
position to take such an education
and has (sufficient ambition to tarry
him through it seems a pity that he
should he deprived of it.
Thomasville can afford to donate a
certain sum to be used for that pur
pose. the donation being in the form
of a loan to the boy. ft will be paid
back in time and can then be used in
the same way and among other boy*
for the same purpose. This matter
should w armly appeal to hundreds of
men. many of whom have given large
s individually lor that purpose.
The Loan Fund is a serviceable prop
osition that will be reflected in great
er usefulness and more dtsi**aWe ser
vice on the part of those boys that
are worthy. It Is sincerely hoped that
a fund of three thousand dollars per
ear will be available for that purpose.

REMOVE THE MASK AND ROBE
Governor Hardwick's assertion that
the Ku Klux Klan is of itself unobjec
tionable. Is perhaps a true statement.
He goes farther, however, and shows
the Klan where they have a remedy
for the many evils that are attributed
to them. The mask and the robe are the
emblems of the Klan. They have been
used promiscuously and without re
gard for law or order. We are accus
tomed to think that In isolated in
stances this sort of thing might be
done effectually and with profit to
ommunity. Yet it is never done
but what it is overdone, and one inci
dent leads to another until the ex
cesses are too many and too dangerous
to be countenanced.
Hardwick calls on the Klan to un
mask. His Idea is that the Klan may
have its regalia. If desirable, but that
it keep that regalia In its ball or in
Its public functions, but at the same
ward the mask entirely. I»i
ords, let the Klan publish its
membership, so that the entire com
munity may know what it is, and in
addition refuse to permit the use of
the mask and robe on any but a peace
ful, public function. With these safe
guards the Klan would meet with no
resistance whatever, and none of the
attacks inado on It would be possible.
The clonk of secrecy is the chief ob
jection to the Klan. Without it there
would be none, unless there was in
volved some of the principles of legal
corrective measures that are takpn to
he part of its ideas by those, who are
not informed of its real purposes, per
haps, or whose desires run outside of
the pale of legal methods.
UP TO HIS OLD TRICKS
The genial Debs, since he has be
conn* a free agent once more, has
found an opportunity to spread out
some of his socialistic propaganda in
regard to the strike. He calls upon
the strikers to "strike together, vote
together and fight together,” in the
common cause, which they now face.
Debs is. presumably, up to his old
tricks. He isn’t regarded as a man
of any particular influence or weight,
but all such agitations are calculated
to do harm to the body politic and to
incite disrespect and disregard of
laws. The dictum that he sends out is
in line with his previous efforts and
they will meet with that same old
cold, expressionless contempt t
which he is entitled, In full measure
Without going into the strike ques
tion at present at issue, it is quite
probable that Debs knew it was time
to Bttr up something, and he will take
credit for whatever effect It might
have. Violence is the thing he calls
for, in Hen of peaceful arbitration and
discussion. He may get it, but it won't
benefit him or anybody else.
CARNIVAL8.
Periodically we learn of the revival
of the carnival talk in small towns
where they are having fairs. It Beems
to be quite the impression that a Fair
must have a big crowd and there is no
way to get one except through, the
agency of a carnival troupe.
Thomasville is not bothered with
these things much and yet we have
been able to feel its deleterious effects
in more ways than one. The first argu<
ment against the carnival aggrega
tions , big. little, one and all alike is
the character of their operations.
They make no pretense of legal pro
cesses and they plainly state that un
less their gambling concessions are
allowed they have no chance of mak
ing money. This encourages gambl
ing.
They have other objectionable fea
tures. fakirs, fortune tellers and
things of that kind that have no earth
lv use and merely content themselves
with pandering to the Inveterate and
well defined bump of superstition
that so many possess. They create
impressions that are sometimes dan
gerous.
Carnivals never brought real busi
ness to any town. They always take
away more money than they leave
and the visitors .that come are not
coming to spend money. They come
to be amused and they spend the mon
ey that probably might be better spent
for necessity and paying bills on the
inanely foolish stunts and contrivanc
es that are conducive to no moral or
physical or mental good.
Lawlessness increases during their
stay. Money is spent foolishly, peo
ple are taught depravity and unlaw
ful tendencies. These and a hundred
other contributory reasons argue
against all the good that a carnival
may do in any small town.
SPEEDY JUSTICE IN ENGLAND.
Field Marshall Wilson’s death by
an assassins hand in London will be
a case of much interest to Americans
by reason of the fact that twenty-six
days after the crime was committed
his assailants had paid the death pen
alty for their dastardly attack. This
is said to be a record In England.
It is certainly a pointer for America,
whose laws are modeled closely after
those of the British Empire. If the
murderers of Field Marshal Wilson
can be tried and sentenetd and hung
within less time than a month there
is no reason to believe that all cases
could be handled in practically the
same time, allowing for court vaca
tions and other things of that charac
ter.
The chief consideration is the pot
ent fact that England is much more
prompt and trials and convictions and
is without the many tedious reprieves,
appeals and the like which clog our
courts and permit of Interminable de
lay, according to the ingenuity of At
torneys interested in the prisoner. We
have lost patience with delays of the

FOR STATE SENATOR
To the White Voters of the 7th Sena
torial District:
This being the turn of Thomaa coun
ty tt> nominate a candidate for the Stat<
Senate. I wish to solicit the eupport o
the white votera of this county for the
office.
I am a young man, born in the coun
ty and known to most of you. I have
never sought office, but believe service
in the legislature to be useful training
for a lawyer. It the office la commit
ted to my trust, I pledge you an honest
and fatthful performance of every duty
thereby reposed.
The Code of 1861 was a book of one
thousand paces. Park's Annotated Code
contains more than eight thousand
pages and five subsequent sessions of
the legislature have added to this mass
of laws under which we are living. Jef
ferson's theory was "the minimum
government Is the best government.’
fall to see wherein we need eight times
as many laws as our forefathers. If
elected your Senator, my efforts will be
bent toward preventing passage of use
less laws, securing the repeal of op
pressive. foolish and unnecessary laws
and holding taxation within the limits or
necessary governmental expense.

A TIMELY WARNING
The American Federation of I.abor
is in full sympathy with the railroad
strikers. This has been fully set
forth on numerous occasions, and
•inion men have been urged to assist
the strikers In all feasible ways. This
does not mean that those who con
tinue at work are to loaf on the Job
or to fail to give a dollars’ work for a
dollars’ pay. It means to support the
cause they espouse, In all lawful ways.
Special urge has been sent out to
dispense with illegal and ill-timed
violence. This is safe and sane ad
vice from any point of view*. The
thing that is going to embitter the
people against labor most will
violence, the infliction of illegal pun
ishment on those who are in no way
guilty or punishable by law.
When violence starts It will be met
wMth violence and there will be no end
of it. The labor world urges the men
to be peaceful in their pursuits, per
fectly assured of the Justice of the
cause, and willing to work and strive
in its behalf in a legal and lawful
manner. The American labor world
W’ill do well to heed this advice from
the federation head.

Says:
“There are two things all women should know
about ice.”
“One is that the economical way to use ice is to
keep, the ice chamber of the refrigerator well filled.
Ice does not melt so rapidly then.
“The other is that in hot weather—or cold—ice is a
mighty small investment for the big protection it
brings—protection of food, health and comfort.”
