WHY THEY SAY IT.
The excellent Dsvson Neva re
marks; "In Thomasville the local
electric light plant has been bought
by the city and the newspapers of
the state are having a great deal to
my about our neighbor "going Into
the public ownership business."
The municipal government of Daw-
son Installed a light plant ten years
ago, and last month took on another
public utility by buying the vater-
works system. The light plant has
never been a money’making Invest
ment, but It Is hoped vhen It is con
solidated vlth the water system a
better shoving vlll be made.”
This Is Interesting testimony on
a live topic. The cities of Alban/
and Grlflln as veil as Dawson have
owned light plants for a greater or
less length of time. The reason the
newspapers of the state have had
to much to say about Thomasvllle’s
municipal, plant Is that this city
ia* a newspaper that Is read by all
the state papers and also newspaper
correspondents who keep the name of
‘he town constantly before the pub
ic, In their dispatches to the metro-
olltan- dallies. This has been the
•ase for years and the Incidental ad
vertising that the town has received
■as made It known over the length
nd breadth of the land. It Is the
ame experience that Atlanta ha*
-njoyed.
The course taken by Journalistic
walls of thought Is often surprising
.Vlthln the last few days this editor
'ms seen editorial paragraphs from
hts pen reproduced In widely diver
gent sections of the country to wit.:
Uutland, Vt., Nev York, Colorado
Springs, Col., and Dayton, Ohio.
How they got the.e goodness only
knows, but ve hope none of them
will be arrested for vagrants.
If the Dawson News vlll keep on
talking about their light plant It will
get into the lime light along with
Chicago, Hearst, Thomasville and
other municipal ownership live wires.
There are seven lawyers In Cairo.
And yet the town Is growing. ‘

AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW.
The Perry Home Journal takes an
optimistic and novel view of the lab
or troubles. It says:
The growing deficiency In quanti
ty and quality of negro farm labor
ers will eventually prove the greatest
boon to agriculture the south has
ever known. * /
So long as the labor field of south-
ern agriculture was satisfactorily fill
ed, with negroes there was no room
for white farm laborers for hire.
Beyond doubt an efllclent negro is
the best farm laborer the south ever
knew. There are many reasons for
this, but the chief reason Is that ten
years ago, mud prior to that time, the
negro was the least vxpenslve labor
er ever known to this country. Un
der such circumstances the farm
owners didn’t want white men as
hired laborers and they even preferr
ed negro tenants on small farm*.
Then, energetic white men would
not enter this field because of the
too close association with the negro
that would necessarily result.
These things are changing; the
negroes are not only gradually go
ing out of the agricultural field as
laborers for wages, but they are
steadily developing in Inefilclency
and unreliability.
As the negroes go out, white men
will Inevitably come In.
As the white men enter the agri
cultural labor field the negroes will
go out In Increasing ratio.
It Is a noteworthy tact that ne
groes will not continue to live as la
borers or tenants. In considerable
numbers In close proximity to a white
folks' school house or church.
The Increasing deficiency and In-
elllclency It the negro farm laborers
opening the way for energetic and
progreslve white men to fill the field
throughout Georgia and the South.
Heaven hasten the time when the^
WHITE MEN INSTEAD.
The announcement comes from
Washington that Atlanta's negro col-
lector of customs Is to be succeeded
by Harry Stillwell Edwards, Post
master at Macon. The black regis
ter of the treasury has also been re
placed by a white man. This policy
Is In line with announcements made
several weeks ago by the adminis
tration. From a political point of
view It Is certainly a wise act for
the Republican party and the won
der Is that they did not do so long
ago. It must have been apparent
for many years that the appointment
of negroes to office could never ben
efit the party In the South. Inas
much as political gratitude Is a live
ly sense of favors to come It
scarcely probable that the G. O. P.
desired to reward the past services
of the colored leaders. The only
place the negro vote can be of value
to the Republican party Is In the
doubtful states of the north and ap
pointments to members of that race
will probably be made In those states
In the future.
But Is “hot our place to point out
the errors of the Republican part/
for their benefit. We can only con
gratulate the South that she Is an
nually being relieved of a large por
tion of her burden in the matter of
negro office holders. There are less
now than there have been in many
years and for our part we are glad
of It.
THE FOOTBALL SITUATION.
The action of the authorities of
Harvard college In abolishing foot
ball entirely for the present, cornea
as a surprise to lovers of the sport.
This abolition may not be, and prob
ably will not be, permanent. If cer
tain reforms are made doubtless next
October will see the pigskin fiends
chuslng each other up and down the
gridiron with their old time seal.
There Is small doubt that football
as It now stands is doomed. Here
tofore there have been sporadic out
breaks of protest and temporary sus
pension of football activities. Now
tho protest Is more general than ever
before. Truth com pells the admis
sion that the game as now played
is of little benefit to the majority
of the students. Only the trained
few are helped by the game and of
ten they lose more by their neglect
of their studies than they benefit
by the physical exercise.
If the game Is changed to any
great extent It loses Its Identity and
Interest to the spectators. But
there la no reasons why games should
not be Invented In this age of Inven
tion. The college game of the future
should be one that does not require
the training of a prise fighter, the
equipment of a gladiator, and the
physique of a Samson.
JONES ON JUMPS.
Sam Jones, the noted revivalist,
casts his eye on this-glorious South
Georgia country of ours and says In-
his Atlanta Journal article;
Then when we go Into South
Georgia, Cordele, Waycross, Thom
asville, Valdosta and Quitman, with
Madison and Covington and Conyers
and around by Monroe and Gaines
ville, all these sections are growing
and enhancing In value every day.
Farm lands are from 50 to 100 per
cent, better. Buildings going up ad
Infinitum.
The values of the grand old state
of Georgia have nearly doubled In
the last .ten years, and In some sec
tions are fully doubled. And the
end Is not yet. The population of
our state ought to be doubled In the
next ten years, and It the world
knei us and knew our resources
and facilities, our climate, our soil,
our all, how wonderfully things
would movel
ELECTRIC RAILROADS.
One Of tbe lines upon which
there Is sure to be development In
the South, Is that of the building
of electric railroads. These are al
ready In operation In tbe north and
In most Instances are. very success
ful. Many of the states of the mid
dle west are a network of electric
lines. It - Is possible to take long
journeys entirely by electric railway.
The fare Is much cheaper than tbe
railroads and the time made Is
equally as good. -There Is one long
road that operates sleeping cars.
Running north from Atlanta Is a
"street-car” line that goes as far
as Marietta. The latest move of
this kind Is a proposition to build
a car line from Dalton to Rome by
way of Calhoun. A preliminary sur
vey Is now being made. Capitalists
are’at work on a plan to run an
electric line from Atlanta to Macon.
It Is possible for electric lines
to carry both passengers and freight
far cheaper than the railroads do
now. As a natural consequence,
wherever such lines are found the
rate of fare on the steam lines
reduced and the price of freight tran
sit Is slashed. It Is entirely proba
ble that a few electric lines In Geor
gia will do more toward reducing
freight rates than all tbe fulmlna-
tlona of demagogues and politicians.

RULES FOR WIVES.
You often hear a man say that
he considers the Japanese the most
highly civilized people In the world.
Had foa noticed that It Is always
the married men who sing the
praises of the little brown men
wonderful wisdom?' We bad al
ways wondered the reason for all
this chorus of approbation from the
matrimonial and have only recently
discovered the reason.
It seems tHat the Japanese have
code of ethics for the government of
their wives and woe be unto the un
lucky woman who transgresses the
law. Here are the rules.
"Be always amiable to your
raother-ln-law and father-ln-law.
Don't talk much.
Get up early, go to bod late and
iqrer sleep In the afternoon.
"Until you are fifty, never mix In
crowds.
‘Do not consult fortune-tellers.
'Do not wear light clothes.
•Be humble and polite.
‘Never allow yourself to be Jeal
ous.
Even If your Husband Is In the
wrong, never get angry.
‘Never speak evil of your neigh-
bors.
“Strict obedience to a husband It
wife’s noblest virtue.”
We do not wonder that the men
applaud but we do not expect to
hear any woman offer up panegyrics
of praise to the Japs in the near
future.
It Is said that Wiley Williams,
chief of police In Columbus, Ga.,
may make tbe race for prison com
missioner to succeed General Clem
ent Evans. It Is not known wheth
er the General will make the race for
re-election. Williams became well
known to the people of the state
when he opposed Thomas Eason a
few year* ago. A great many people
are none too fond of Tom and
showed It when they voted 6,000 for
Williams. We hope he will run.
It does these office holders good to
stir them up occasionally.

Col. Frank A. Dillingham, the mil
lionaire, lecturer and advertiser, who
Is Introducing In this state Plant
Juice Remfcdies, the remedy that
has made him tbe fortune he pos
sesses, and is now being sold In this
section In enormous quantities by
this unusual young man, who Is
probably the most unique character
that has visited the state for many
a long day. His reputation for phi
lanthropy Is being upheld, as he al
ready disbursed In the south several
thousand dollars for charities of
different sorts. One of his chief
characteristics Is bis fondness for
children, and he Is always surround
ed wherever he goes by a crowd of
adoring young ones, who listen
breathlessly i to every word he utters.
His favorite form of amusement Is
to take a crowd of children for a
drive In his handsome victoria, and
listen to their happy prattle. Last
week he took six little girls with
him during hla evening parade, and
Judging from his expression, enjoyed
the trip even more than the chil
dren, as his face was wreathed In
smiles. Mr. Dillingham can well
afford to smile these days, as his
remedies are enjoying tbe most stu
pendous sale ever witnessed on any
article of this sort In this vicinity.
Thousands and thousands of bottles
of Plant Juice have been sold In this
state under Col. Dillingham's guar
antee to refund every penny spent
with him if his remedies fall to ben
efit, and as yet there Is no Instance
where a purchaser has requested the
return of his money.
The results accomplished by this
peculiar remedy, which seems al
most to perform miracles, are truly
remarkable. Mingled with ofier
callers at the different Drug Stores,
and among thousands who write Col
Dillingham are many people with the
sole intention of thanking Col. Dil
lingham for the benefit they have
received. Among those who wrote
recently Is J. Q. Smyth, who said:
I have had rheumVtlsm for a
long time, and have not been able
to find anything that seemed to help
me. I heard so much of wbat this
Plant Juice medicine was doing for
sick people that I bought a bottle
of It about a week ago. I have
taken It since then and feel greatly
benefltted. My rheumatism has all
but left me. I feel better than I
have for years."
T. Z. Dinklespell was another
writer who thanked tbe advertiser.
He said upon writing Col. Dilling
ham: "Col. Dillingham, I cannot
thank you enough for what your
Plant Juice medicine has done for
me. I have had catarrh of the
bead and stomach for years, and had
despaired of getting rid of It. I
have tried everything, and nothing
seemed to benefit me. I bought a
bottle of your medicine for $1.00,
and have only taken part of It, and
almost from the first dose I felt
an Improvement In my condition,
and now seem perfectly well, I am
more than grateful to you, as I have
not felt so well for years.”
James Caton said: “That Is the
most wonderful medicine I have ever
heard of. One week ago I was so
nervous that my limbs jerked when
ever I would attempt to more, and
felt all the time as though some
thin/ terrible was going to happen
to me. I would start at the slight
est sound, and at times would shake
like a leaf. I got some of this Plant
Juice medicine, and I want to tell
yon before I had taken three doses a
great part of my nervousness had
left me. I have taken It less than a
week, and Instead of feeling blue
and worried all the time I now feel
happy and capable of doing a good
days work and securing a sound
night’s sleep. I don’t wonder that
this man Dillingham is worth a lot
of money, as I would not take $500
for what the one single bottle has
done for me. I tell yon I feel great,
when Jus^ a weeksago I was a ner-
wonderful formula, and at the rate
hla medicine Is now being disposed
of this section will be taking Dil
lingham's Plant Juice.

FREE IF IT FAILS
Druggist R. Thomas, Jr., Says He
Does Not Charge Anything for
Vlnol Unless It Gives
Satisfactory Results.
When asked by a reporter of the
Tlmes-Enterprlse how he could make
such a broad offer In regard to any
medicine. Mr. R. Thomas, Jr„ re
plied:
“If Vlnol were a patent or secret
preparation It would be another
thing, but It Is not, everything It
contains Is named on the label.
“Vlnol Is simply the up-to-date
form of administering cod liver oil,
which for centuries has been recog
nized as the grandest of nil body
building agents for wasted human
strength and vitality, and during
the last five years we have seen It
produce such grand ^results that we
are now willing to back/It with any
Kind of a guarantee.
"In Vlnol we have simply done
away with the useless, system
clogging oil and have given to the
people all the medicinal, body-bull
ing elements of cod liver oil In a
highly concentrated and deliciously
palatable form, and we have never
sold In our store a medicine of more
curative and strength-creating value
than Vlnol, and If tbe people of
Thomasville only realked Its value
we would not have clerks enough
In. our store to supply the demand
for It. In a natural manner Vlnol
tones up the digestive organs, makes
rich red blood and creates strength.
We can only ask the people of Thom
asville to try It on our guarantee.”
R. Thomas, Jr. Druggist.
