AUTUMN TIME.
Autumn time In Southern Geor
gia 1s such a swirling symphony of
ecstactic joy that we are sorry that
every one cannot migrate here to
enjoy It. There’ Is a wlne-Uke tang
to tho air of morning that makes
you glad that you are alive. The
sunshine caresses the earth at noon
day and warms the heart to kind
ness. Even the rain falls with a
gentle benediction upon the world.
There Is the lilting note of the mock
ing bird for the aesthetic, and the
choery grinding of the canemlll turn
ing out liquid sunshine. There Is
Inspiration for the soul, gladnqss
for the heart, quickening for the
brain and tweet potatoes for tho
stomach, during the autumn time,
In South Georgia. 1
SWEARING. .
One of the encouraging signs of
the times to the crusade that is being
made against profanity. In New
York they have formed an organisa
tion known as the society of the
Holy Name. Its members aro pledg
ed against the use of profanity and
that they are Btrong and In earnest
Is shown by the fact that 18,000
of them took part In a parade last
Sunday. If there is any bad habit
that Is utterly without defense It to
that of profanity. The English lan
guage 1s picturesque and expressive
enough without the embellshment
of oaths. In fact the habitual user
of swear words makes them take the
place of every other expression much
as the school girl does "lovely” and
awful”. The devotee of nicotine
defends his practice on the ground
of soothing comfort, and the tippler
excuses himself on the plea of a lit
tle wine for the stomach’s sake hut
there was never a swearer who had
the nerve tq defend his use of the
Lord’s name la vain. 8top swear
ing.
AN EPIDEMIC.
The question of municipal owner
ship Is epidemic all over the coun
try and Thomasvllle Is only one of
the many places where the fever
burns. So Important a body as the
National Civic Federation haa taken
up tha question and has a regulsr-
ldBnt of the Big Foul railroad to at’
iy hehd bi the cbmtalsslon. After
Accepting hid place at the head of
affairs he said "A tremendous
pressure for municipal ownership is
abroad and It to our duty to the pub
lic to give them all the facto we can
get: together. You read both sides
In the public press, one showing that
it to a success while the other records
a failure. Wbat to good for one
country to not good for another.
The great fault we are liable to fall
into Is to try to do too much. -We
want to study gas plants, electric
lighting plants and especially water
plants. I consider this Investigation
a public duty and if we put the facts
before, the American public we will
give them a history of today and we
Will do a greater work for our coun
try than ever was performed by any
Statesman.”

FAIRS?. .NO.
-The State Fair to in dlfflculty be
cause the ministers of Atlanta have
taken steps to prohibit betting on
the races. We hope that the'min
isters will be successful in their cru
sade. Really most of these falfs
and exhibitions have llttlq excuse
for being. The old county fair where
the housewives compared pastry and
the farmers swapped Ideas and hor
ses was all very well In Its way.
But the modern fair, or carnival, or
whatever name It masquerades un
der, Is about as dlffereat from-the
old sane and wholesome affair' as
day Is from night. Just how far
they have degenerated is shown by
the fact that the managers of the
State fair are threatening to call It
off unless gambling is allowed.
Thomasvllle has had her own ex
perience with these affairs. Thom-
asvllle to no hog. She knows when
she gets enough and she does not
have them any more. She has learn
ed from experience that the fair or
carnival to not so very pleasant to
town or (visitor, .to certainly not
profitable to either one. They en-
i n Punch of Itinerant grafters
and hurdy gurdy men to walk off
with money that ought to be kept
at home. No more fairs for us
please. An old fashioned county
picnic like the one we had here last
year Is worth a doien such.
NEW BLOOD.
Without a desire to either boost
or batter the candidacy of any of the
excellent gentlemen who now are or
are about to be opponents for con
gressional and senatorial-honors we
wish to make the suggestion that u
little new blood In the delegation
would be no bad thing. Just ba-
causo a man has been honored onco
Is no reason why he should bn sent
back to tho same place again nnd
,agaln. Such action has a tendency
to make him think that he owna the
place and dull his sense of duty to
his constituents. Georgia has the
habit of continuing tho men In pow
er and too often said men have eith
er neglected or mlsued their oppor
tunities. They have an ppettte
like Oliver Twist and they remind
one ,of the story of the little boy
who forgot his politeness. He was
given a chocolate and when he failed
to respond with the expected “thank
you" met the sharp query: “What
do you say?" "More” was hts reply.
Too many Georgia politicians want
more.

REPUBLICANS
New York, Oct. 10.—Walter R,
Gillette, vice president of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company today testi
fied before the Insurance Investiga
tion committee that the company
contributed $40,000 to tho Republi
can National Committee’s campaign
fund in the last presidential election.
He^also stated that the company con
tributed $35,000 to the Republican
National campaign fund in 1900 and
$15,000 in 1896. He justified the
contributions on the ground that
the Democratls platform and the free
silver Issue were a menace to the
policy holders.
Mr. L. A. Morgan is In the city.
Mr. Morgan was the daddy of tho
American Press, one of the most pre
cocious children that ever sprang up
JlUr face may he seen at our courts In the field of Georgia Journalism,
for many years to come.—Mo-iUrf.; Mr. Morgan now represents a large
