turns, or on the returns. The peo
ple got what they wanted. We con
gratulate Governor Smith upon the
wonderful popularity that swept him
Into office upon a tide such as Is sel
dom seen in any state. We congrat
ulate his supporters upon the great
victory he has won. For. Mr. Smith
and his followers our only wish Is
that their brightest hopes may be
realized. If there are any evils ex
isting we trust they will be remedied.
It any changes are to be made may
they be beneficial ones.
For supporting Mr. Howell
have no apologies to make. As
our readers know our politics Is to
stick by our friends. Mr. Howell
himself has accepted his defeat In ex
cellent spirit, and his followers will
do the same. The loyalty of |iis
friends as evinced In the campaign,
must certainly be Very pleasing to
him. Especially is this true of the
newspapers of the state. A newspa
per does not like to cling to a.sink
ing ship. Defeat sets hard with the
average journal. It hates to oppose
the well-nigh unanimous opinion of
Its readers. But even after It be
comes apparent weeks ago that thd
fight was lost, there was no waver
ing In the ranks. , Mr. Howell Is as
good a man In defeat as he would
have been tu victory.
Our faith In Georgia and Geor
gians Is still as strong as ever. The
democratic, party has been rent
asunder by Internal conflict. But
the people everywhere, knowing that
the din of battle has died away, are
acting right about thd matter. There
Is nd disposition on the part of the
vanquished to Sulk, Or of the vic
tors t 0 gloat. People who act like
that are all right any way you take
them. : . . \
Of course the Tlmes-Enterprlse
has a smile for those that love it
and a smile for those that hate, nor
does It lack a heart for any fate.'
their community. Give them, your
aid and^uport and keep them punch
ed up about it.
Another thing. When you go to
person advocating this action, don’i
let him bluff you Into silence. When
we first went Into the newspaper
business we ufert to bite at a line
of talk like this. (‘The Idea Is
good one. It Is a splendid one. But
don’t you say anything in the paper
about it. If you do, Albany or Val
dosta, or some place else will catch
on as to what we want and-they will
begin to work to beat us out. Just
you keep It quiet, and let me work
this thing and I will get It. I'can
do more on the lnslde.Don't you wor
ry, and above all don’t you say any
thing about It to anyone. I will
work It on the q. t.”
We were young and not wise to
the wpya of the politicians. We bit
We kept quiet. (But some way Al
bany or Valdosta or some place else
caught on just the same. Albany
and Valdosta made a noise like
wanting the same thing Thomasvllle
did. Albany and Valdosta worked.
Albany and Valdosta got away with
the goods.
The q. t., worker, the pussy-foot
statesman, the lad who .was going to
win out by a lot of Inside labor, simp
ly loafed, and let. the thing go by.
The silence of the newspapers, and of
the public was used by him as a con
sent to slide out of any endeavor
So let's try the‘other plan. Let's
talk right out in meeting. Publicity
never hurt anything that had a mer
it. If Thomasvllle Is not the best
location In the second district for an
agricultural college, then we are .wil
ling to see It go elsewhere. But we
do want an effort made to bring It
here, and to this end wc shall refor
to It In future. _
A CLEAN ELECTION.
With the legislature that closed
Its session this week, Hon. Fondren
Mitchell closed a term of seven years
service as representative from Thom
as county. During that time the
Tlmes-Enterprlse has not been blind
to his faults and has taken oppor
tunity to criticise him at different
periods for neglect of duty and fall
Ing to look after the Interest of his
constituents as we thought he should
have done. Neither are we blind to
his many good points. There were
few men In the house that stood hlgn-

Horror.
New Tork, August' 17.—Cable ad
vices report that the city of Valpa
raiso, Chill., Is badly damaged by an
earthquake. Many persons were
killed and Injured.
Our report received here says that
the situation at Valparalsdmay be as
serious as the San Francisco disas
ter. Practically every building In
the city Is damaged, and. fires are
raging in different parts of the city.
Many persons are reported killed or
wounded.
The earthquake Interrupted cable
facilities to lower South American
points, and communication Is
stifcted to the route via Lisbon.
Another' report from Valparaiso
says that the loss of life Is not con
firmed.
Valparaiso Is a fortified seaport
of Chill, and Is one of the most Im
portant commercial towns on the
west coast of South America. The
population of thq city Is 160,000.

have no kick coming. The election
was a clean one. In Thomas coun

CEASE KICKING. BEGIN WORK
, .Thomasvllle people are still kick
ing about tb j failure of the repre
sentatives In the legislature to se
cure for tiffs place the agricultural
college that went to Valdosta. It
really dose look Inexcusable, but
what’s the use of kicking over spill
ed opportunities? The people now
have a chance to stop kicking and
get to work.
I The recent defunct legislature
passed a bill providing for an agri
cultural college In each congressional
district of the state. There are elev
en of these districts tn the state, and
Thomasvllle Is In the seepnd. Then
Thomasvllle. you will agree, ought to
have the college for the second dis
trict But the fact that she .ought
to have this school will not Insure
Its coming here. The sure way to
fall Is for the people to sit around
and talk, and do nothing. Get to
work, get to work now. Enlist the
support of men of influence before
their pledges go elsewhere. Keep
It In mind. Don’t forget it.

What Liverpool did to cotton prices
was a plenty.
Liverpool came In 7 points dawn,

Liverpool bears became heavy re

but how far ts It?
The reactionary theorists that
loaded up with cotton yesterday, let
It go In bundle# today, prices declin

We may have some slight reactions
but we believe the price win ulti

frequently pointed out, in ezplana

Washington Is one of the most ex
pensive cities In the country in which
do live, that this is due to the high
levels of prices maintained by the
presence of the federal government
as a largo purchaser. Even at that,
