The officers here smashed a lot of Illicit liquor in the streets yesterday li Is said that several 'culled gem- men" wept copiously and regarded the flowing booze as a national calam itv. The thirsty earth near the bar racks drank It* fill. .Imself formally as a candidate for io office of Governor of Georgia. ,t has been understood for some time bat he would do so. He made a preliminary announcement several weeks ago and followed this up yes- rdsy v.ith a document announcing .he principles upon which he will make his race. The presentation of ,-.-ard, and by no means disappoint ing to tho friends of the candidate, in Abe beginning be recites the* un doubted debt that Georgia owes to Democracy. ■ He defends the white primary sys tem as It now stands. "Let well alone,” he says. He points . the alleged disfranchisement plank would' necessarily, for the sake of legality, be based on an educa tional qualification and says: "It will mean an Increase of'negro votes over the votes of the Illiterate white men, or else will mean the Inauguration of a system of Illegal evasion that will be fraught with danger to the state. More than that it will mean the actual disfranchisement of thousands of white me in Georgia and especially of men In the country communities, whore oducaiiottal. advantages have not been to great as (n the cities." The Times-Enterprlse heartily agrees with Mr. Howell's position on the disfranchisement question. tn the matter of freight rates, Mr. Howell points out that a reduction of rates this year amounting to a sav ing of one iqjllfon per annum to the shippers has already been made. Ha punctiires certain other arguments by calling attention to the fact that Interstate rates are beyond the con trol of the Btate commission. He ad vocates the enlargement of the pow ers of the interstate commerce com- mission to a full control of Interstate rates. He, favors the election of railroad commissioners by the peo ple. In thlB regard his position Is Identical with that of, Mr. Hoke Smith. A significant paragraph states: "I advocate the adoption ol law prohibiting the Issue of tree ves the Messenger great pleas ure to quote the following coming as It does from the Times-Enterprlse: "The Cairo Messenger Is a paper that deserves the support of the peo ple of Grady county. It fought tooth and nail for the establishing of the county and did it without- remunera tion while many other papers publish ed In prospective county sites, drew fat fees'-froffi the executive commit tees. The Messenger fell out wRh Its best friends. Including this paper on account of Its. partisanship for Grady! Tho folks of the newjcom- monwealth ought to stand right at Editor Wind's back." We wish, however, to disabuse the minds of the editors of that worthy paper of the misapprehension that we fell out with them during the cam palgn for the new county. True, the light waxed warm, but In (land ing up for the interest of our-consti tuents, we did not deny other jour nals the same right. . We grant that It was the duty of the Tlmes-Enter- prlse to take the position that It did, If the wishes and interests of the majority of Ita constituents were sup ported thereby; and since we came out victorious at this end of the line In that we got what we went after, we certainly are not in a bad humor, nor do we hold aught against any taper that opposed us.—Cairo Mes senger. * DANK OF THOMASVILLE.

He say. that he realizes true condltloil of sald bank . „ ehown that he 1. taking an unpopular stand by tll , bookg of Bn|d bank on this matter. In this connection I ’ wo are reminded of a story told by the Waycross Herald. A negro preacher stated that he would turn out of the church every member who attended the circus.

He Is op posed to any discriminate against Georgia concerns and In fa^or o( for eign capital. He Is equally opposed to any course of action that will de ter foreign capital from seeking In vestment. here. He makes reference to the common schools, stands for their advancement and'for the prompt payment off their teachers. He favors the mainten ance of a liberal pension policy, does not fall to mmr some hot shot Into the eauscleassttacks that have been made upon present and' past state administrations. He remarks: To the extent of my ability I shall contend that the fair people of Geor gia are )iot responsible’ for, nor re sponsive to, these protests of pess imism, these cries of corruption, these clamors for confiscation.” , In closing ho makes reference to his record of twenty years before the people tn public life. He states truly that none of the principles he advocates are of sudden growth but are consistent with this past record. Is a fact worthy of comment that even In the heat of the campaign to date this record has not been suc cessfully attacked. Taken as a whole the platform Is decided, manly and one that wilt win votes tor tho man who will make the race upon Ita principles. Tho editor of the Cordele Rambler thlnhB that as a rule blind tigers arc a half starved set, who resort'to law lessness to get something to cat. Then as an exception, Thomasvllle's blind tiger keepers are tat and sasay, and resort to lawlessness to make a fortune. They hnd a bushel basket full of dollar hills to pay their fines at the last session of court. A little work on the streets Is more than apt to reduce both avoirdupois and san- ciness,-however. Well, there are arrests made al most dally by brave young policemen, the cases are pushed by a brave young solicitor, and the editors are not afraid to print the newt and give their opinion of It. How Is Mint for nerve. i 1 Those brave young men of Thom asville who tinted on tjie organiza tion of the law and order league have the opportunity to show their nerve.
