ELOQUENT WORDS,
The charges of Judge Robert O.
Mitchell to his grand juries are al
ways worth listening to. Unlike
some judges, he does not seize this
opportunity to Indulge In flights of
fantastic oratory, not germane to
matters In hand, but he does Inter
pret the law In a manner, clear suc
cinct and convincing. Every Juror
after hearing him has a definite Idea
of his duty, and a higher respect
for the majesty of the law. Yester
day the talk of the judge was no ex
ception to this rule.
The Judge called attention to the
fact that the moral, and also tbe ma
terial welfare of a community de
pended upon the fidelity with which
It observed the law. No home seek
er would think of locating In a com
munity where there was lawlessness
and where crime went unpunished.
So man Is so high as to be above
the law and no one «o low or de
graded as, to be below Its pale: In
this lies the glory of our country.
Blind tigers, said the Judge, If al
lowed to go unpunished and to flaunt
their trade in defiance of law, are
a more dangerous evil than
ban. The blind tiger la lawless, bat
the open bar la compelled to ob
serve certain restrictions.
A significant statement wa* that
there are fewer blind tlgen now In
the Southern circuit than ever be
fore. Alert grand juries and se
vere punishments for those convict
ed have brought about 'a great re
form during the past year.
The grand jury Is composed of
some of the best .citizens of .Jhe
county, and they will do their whole
duty.

INSIDE HISTORY.
The Tlmes-Enterprlse has received
many compliments from its friends,
on what they are pleased to term Its
splendid handling of tbe great fire.
For all of these kind words we re
turn our grateful thanks. They
make us reel that our Efforts are
not unappreciated.
A newspaper man does not dwell
on any bed of roses during the pro
gress of a big conflagration or any
other event of Interest. It la his
task lo keep cool, white everybody
else Is excited, to seek accurate in
formation from frenxled people, who
hate to be bothered, to do a day's
Work In an hour and otherwise live
the strenuous life. There fa
harder task on brain and body. Lo
cally the situation fa complicated by
the fact that the Associated Press
of the United States and ill the other
Georgia dallies depend apon this
office as correspondents. Then too,
our own olflce was In danger, and we
had to gather up our goods and
chattels, and be ready to fly at •
mlnutea notice.
There la no fun In all this strain
Neither la there any money. The
only satisfaction is In meeting expec
tations, as expressed by'one subscri
ber who said; "That was a mighty
good write up, but then we don’t
expect anything else from you hoys."
So we are thankful for all the kind
words, for all the assistance rendered
by willing friefadt and the fidelity
of an already overworked mechan
ical force. And we are kept from
getting, too proud by the man who
kicked at the price of five cents
each, asked for papers containing
the full account of the fire.
Referlng to the comment of this
paper upon the abolition of the sale
of alcohol, the Cairo Messenger says;
The Tlmes-Enterprlse shows that
Cairo still knows bow to grapple
with and strangle any evil, and when
her business men hear of or are
ihown anything that *• detrimental
to her community they go at It with
gloves ofi and strangle It In Its In
fancy, as they have done in the fiend,
alcohol. All honor to Cairo’s busi
ness men.' The Messenger doffs Us
hat to the Tlmes-Enterprlae for Its
kind words to the doctors and drug
gists of Cairo.”
Dr. Furbay, the evangelist who
has been here for two weeks, re
ferred to ThomaavlUe as a “roee-
embowered city, with an atmosphere
of cordiality and culture.” Thti la
a good epitome of the universal ver
dict- of visitors .to this city.

ABOUT INSURANCE.
Washington, April 17.—President
Roosevelt today transmitted to con
gress an Important message rotating
Insurance legislation, accompanied
by the report of the Insurance con
vention In Chicago last February.
HOWELL IS
VOTE WINNER
(Contlnued.From First Page.).
-North and' Sot^h Carolina, Missis
sippi and Alabama. They ask why
these states adopted disfranchise
ment measures. Simply because they
did not years ago, take the precau
tion that Georgia Tfltd. Had/ they
done so these measures would not
have been necessary^ Senator Money
of Mississippi says the Georgia plan
la best. Ex-Senator Butler, ot North
Carolina, agrees with him. One-
third of tbe white voters of North
Carolina are disfranchised today,
and there are white men In this au
dience, and In every community of
Georgia that would be disfranchised
if this measure went Into effect.
The Grand-father Clause,
’They make much of the grand
father clause. This merely provides
that If a man's grand-father could
vote before the civil way he can vote
without any educational teat. This
they say, excludes the negro because
his grand-father could not vote.
But it does not exclude the educated
negro.- Don’t forget that. It is
merely a temporary subterfuge, and
In North Carolina, to which they
point, it goes out of force in 1908.
Negro Education.
“There are more negro children
than white children in the public
schools of Georgia. Millions are
spent by ribrtbern people on negro
education. Why put a premium on
this sort 1 -of thing? Why not wait,
at any rate, until tbe supreme court
of the United States passes upon the
legality ot these measures? It Is
a dangerous tbiqg to tamper with
the right of suffrage by restricting
It to a man who has property and
education. Who can tell where this
movement will stop? The first step
Is to shut out the man who has less
than 9300, the last may be to ex
clude the man who has less than
$800,000.
The Latin Dodge.
”Yon hear a lot about the Latin
dodge, which means asking a negro
to translate a long Latin phrase, ask
ing a white man to add two and twa
Then when the negro falls to answer,
and the white man answers correctly
to declare the first uneducated and
the second educated. Now is that
right? ' Do you want to raise your
to taka part |n perjury and
Iswbreaklnk of that sort?
The Railroad Quran low.
‘My opponents yell, "nigger, nig
ger, nigger,’ and ’railroad, railroad
’ thinking thereby to de
ceive the people. My adversaries
say I am e ‘railroad man.’ Again
refer you to my record. The
Glenn tax bill enabled tbe counties
to tax- railroads, and/has made for
the state of Georgia, through Its
county treasuries, $150,000,000.
The franchise tax bill made the
franchises of the railroads taxable
property. The car equipment bill
forced tbe roads to equip cars at
their excuse for the hauling of lum-
A1I of these bills the railroads
fought, all ot them I supported with
voice and vote.
\ Where He Stands.
Now 1 will tell you where I
stand on the railroad question. I
am In favor of getting all the new
railroads we can. You need them
hqre In South Georgia, the garden
•pot of the universe, let us build
no Chinese wall of exclusion. Hoke
Smith’s plan (reading Smith’s
words) for domestication, la the
wildest scheme ever advanced since
the days of political lunacy In Kan-
It Is so wild that - he hasn’t
Chirped about It, or Ms divine call
since the early days ot his candlda-
I don’t oyrn a penny of stock
any railroad. But I believe 4n
treating tbe railroads and every
body else (airly.
Populists and Democrats.
*1 do not desire to debar from
the primary any white man regard
less of Ms previous political affili
ation, who desires In good faith to
align himself with, the Democratic
party. As things stand now prac
tically every white man In the state
can become.a Democrat. In the. old!
days of the alliance I stood with the
Populists on many questions. They
left the party, I remained IovaL
Now I am ready to welcome twsl
