THE PEOPLE'S DOINGS.
A WORD OF SYMPATHY.
The editors of the Tlmes-Entpr-
prlu extend to Editor Shelby W. Da-
yls, of our contemporary, the Thom-
asvllle Press, their deepest fraternal
sympathy In bis hour of crushing
sorrow. He mourns today tjie loss
of hts devoted wife. In times like
these word* are perhaps idle-to as
suage the grief he must feel. But
he is remembered ln.the'TImes-En-
terprise office as a faithful em
ployee, and esteemed as a courteous
contemporary. Therefore we cannot
refrain from extending to him sin
cere condolence, nnd we only regret
that we cannot lighten the weight
of woe, that bows him down. We
commend him to the tenderest mer
cy of tpe Most High.
To the Voters
County:
Having been requested by both
business men and farmers from diff
erent parts of' the county to enter
the race for the legislature, after
due consideration, I have decided
to offer my services, subject to the
primary of May lttb.
It Is with no political ambition,
i>ut with a sense of duty, and desire
to promote the best Interest and de
velopment Of our county and state
hat I offer my services. -
These are some of the features of
my platform:

The action of the state executive
committee In regard to the qualld-
cations for voters In the state pri
mary on August 22nd. Is bound to
cause considerable discussion. Now
the position of the Times-Enterprlse
on this question Is well'known. We
favor a wide open primary,' at which
all quallded white men, Irrespective
of party are allowed to vote. We

political affiliations,
willing to throw the thing opefi to
Populists, Republicans, and Social
ists and let them each -nominate a
ticket
But at the same time we realize
that there Is reason In the step that
the committee has taken. The rule
adopted by the committee Is that
each ticket shall have printed there
on the following pledge:
“By voting this ticket, I hereby
declare that I am an organized Dem
ocrat, and I hereby pledge myself
to support the organized democracy,
both state and national.”
No ballot cast In said primary
election without such caption and
obligation shall be counted by the
managers.

THE SENATOR'S POSITION.
Wilkes, of the Seventh, Made Race
On Reform Issues.
Inasmuch as there has arisen a
controversy as'to the Intent of the
word'“align” In the foregoing, we
i declare that, as herein usedrdt means
to join the organized Democratic par
ty nnd become a Democrat In good
faitlu”
This differs from the rules In for
mer years In that It Is printed on
the ballot, and that it defines what
la meant by alignment.
The committee Is a Democratic
committee. It has no authority to
call a white primary, or any kind
of a primary except a Democratic
primary. If they did It would be
similar to a Presbyterian elder call
ing an election tor all denominations
to vote for Methodist stewards. Un
der the present machinery there can
be np primary but a Democratic pri
mary, and people who still consider
hemselves Populists mutt be de
barred from It, by the very nature
■f the case. It they are willing to
become. Democrats they should not
ibject to taking the pledge.
At the tame time we are not en-
■Irely pleased at requiring loyalty to
the national organized Democracy.

Atlanta, Ga., May 2.—Father
Sherman, In his march to the sea,
would have been refused entrance
Into Atlanta had he been accpm
panted by a military escort. Mayor
Woodward declared this morning
that he would not have permitted the
prleat to come here with cavalry
men.
A dispatch this morning from
Washington says the military ac
companying Father Sherman has
been turned back by order of the
government. Father Sherman will
be received as a private citizen—
nothing more. The mayor thinks
the trip with an escort Is an out
rage. . The governor has nothing to
say.
Senator-elect J. A. Wilkes, who
will represent this district In the
state senate next year, made his race
on a platform, a synopsis of which
the Times-Enterprlse has been asked
to give the ptibllc. It Is evident that
the three counties of Thomas, Col
qultt and Brooks, will be well rep
resented In the upper house.
Mr. Wilkes' platform In brief Is:
Extension and Improvement of
the common school system; 2, child
labor laws; 3, liberal pensions; 4,
no free passes; 5, restriction of ne
gro suffrage and elimination of pur
chasable votes; 6, against lobbying;
courage "heir” suits for the recovery
of land.
In a letter to a prominent citizen
of Thomasvllle Mr. Wilkes makes
several statements which should be
made supplementary to his platform.
Among other things the letter
says:
Under the head of “square deal”
Is comprehended everything In rela
tion to railroads and railroad rate
regulation. -
“I think It a blushing shame that
Georgia should not have had a pure
food law long before this.
"In my speeches before the people
advocated two additional things
to those appearing In my announce
ment, one of which was a division
of the school fund, and the other
was the passage of a law allowing
farmers of this state to plead fail
ure .of consideration to a suit on a
guano note. I do not think a guano
trust Is entitled to any more consid
eration than the mule dealer, the
broker, the merchant, or the real es
tate dealer.”

First. I favor legislation that will j returned to Boston last week.
nake It a misdemeanor for any leg
islator to accept s pass from rail
roads or their agents.
Second. Higher education for the
white children of Oeorgla.
Third. I favor a railroad commis
sion, elected by the vote of the peo
ple, and that commission to give
their entire time to this work.
Fourth. I favor encouraging
railroads being built and operated
In our state, as they are one of the
greatest means of development, pro
gress, and prosperity of any state,
at the same time they should be
taxed on the same basis as Individ
uals.
Fifth. I favor legislation that
will make It a misdemeanor for any
parent or guardian to work - any
child In a cotton mlil.
Sixth. I favor legislation that will
develop the farming, mechanical and
manufacturing Industries of our
state.
Seventh. I am against dispensa
ries. Also the sale of alcohol, ex
cept when prescribed by physicians.
If there are three other men In
the race that from their past lives,
and business success, you have rea
son to believe will best advance tbe
Interest and progress of Thomas
county, I ask you, as a citizen to vote
for those three men.
If, In your Judgment, you should
sen fit to select me as^one of those
three, I pledge you my energy, my
time, and my Intellect, to work for
the development of the banner coun
ty of Georgia.
81ncerely,
J. B. WAY.
Thomasvllle, Ga.. May 2, 1906.
To the Times-Enterprlse:
Will you please allow me space In
your paper, to answer the following
three questions;
First. Do I favor legislation that
will regulate freight rates?
Second. Do I favor a law for pyre
food?
Third. Do I favor the dlsfran-
hisement of the negroes? >
To the first and second, questions
can anawer most heartily that I do.
To the third I anawer no.
First. It would cause our repre
sentation to be reduced In the nation-
government.
8econd. We have, for years, con
trolled our state and county Issues
white supremacy without disfran
chisement, and I would only favor
It as a last resort to maintain same.
Yours truly,
J. B. WAY.

Now It seems to have been side

ble, so their advocates think, to
catch votes. We predict that the
whole Thomas county delegation will'
be lined up on the right side of this,
question. Some of the candidates
have already Incorporated this plank
In their platforms. One of them
neglected to do so. A staunch and
wakeful friend of the measure has

stands. His answer Is expected to
