THE BANNER, SATURDAY MORNING,
IK MR MU
Established 1832.
H. J. ROWE,
Editor and Proprietor.
THE ATHEN8 DAILY BANNER Is
delivered by carriers In the city, or
mailed, postage free, to any address
at the following rates: $5.00 per year;
$2.50 for six months; $1.25 for three
months or 10 cents a week.
Subscribers are requested to notify
promptly the business office of late
delivery, failure to carry papers to
porches or failure to deliver with ab
solute regularity on the part of the
carriers. Such notification is the only
source of knowing of the existence of
any cause for complaint, and we will
appreciate it accordingly.
SPECIAL NOTICE.
Subscribers will please take note
that no carrier boy is authorized to
collect subscriptions from any one, or
to sell papers under any circum
stances.
Remittances may be made by ex
press, postoffice money order or regis
tered letter.
Subscribers can either pay the reg
ular collector upon presentation of
hills or call at the office.
There is danger in over-confidence.
It is up to every individual Democrat
to feel that the responsibility of vic
tory rests upon his one ballot—as, in
deed, it may.
e
Georgians must roll up a good ma
jority for the democratic candidates
in the presidential election. She
leads in everything else in the South
—her Democracy must be of the
front-rank brand.
No confetti carnival on next elec
tion day, say the powers that be.
The pink ticket and the blue ticket,
the yellow ballot and the green bal
lot are to be discarded. It’s to be
white election—following a white pri
mary.
»
There is still need of funds to
finish up the campaign. Georgia has
not yet done her part and Athens has
not yet done all she could and should
do toward meeting the necessary ex
penses of a winning fight, for Dem
ocracy.
*
There is .^eed of every democrat to
vote in the coming presidential elec
tion. It is not enough to sit down
. .abd waive aside the responsibility
with the assurance that “Georgia’ll
go democratic ' anyhow.” Every vote
is needed.
The Banner was for the nomina
tion of Underwood before the presi
dential preference primary, but the
Banner is now working as best it can
to the end that the nominee of the
party shall have a victory. There is
a feeling of comfort in being loyal to
the party you belong to, and a biding
ns was implied in participation in the
primary, the action of a majority of
the party’s representatives.
President Taft’s recent prophecy
that Gov. Wilson’s election will mean
’’four years of rainy days for labor”
is ridiculed by a large number of
• idely known business men, all of
them Republicans and extensive em-
’ loyers of labor, in statements to the
Wilson National Progressive Repub
lican League. It is declared by these
men that not only will the industries
r f the country suffer no setback, but
cn the contrary the business world al
ready feels the stimulation of confi
dence in Gov. Wilson’s ability to res
tore conditions to their normal state.

The capital value of agriculture in
cudes all farm property, land, build-
■ "Rs, implements, machinery, and
!'.'e stock as enumerated by the cen-
r :s. The capital value of manufac-
' res, as defined by the census, in
cudes the value of property employ
ed for the purposes of production, ex-
' pting rented property, but does not
l": elude any allowance for patent
r 'Thts or good will. The capital val-
vo of the railways used in this com-
• ".rison is the “cost of road and
equipment” as it stands on their
1 oks and as reported by them to
t’.-e Interstate Commerce Commis-
r:on.
♦
A prominent democrat has compil-
rd the following twelve reasons why
1 e is going to vote for Wilson for
president: Because he stands for
c-.ual rights for all and special privi-
l'~es tor none; Because he stands
f:r tariff revision downward; Be
cause he stands for such legislation
rs will prevent monoply and the con-
t~ol of prices; Because he stands
f'r income tax and believes that
w raith should, share the burdens as
well as the blessings of government;
Fecause he stands for the rights of
labor and the protection of the wage-
earner, as shown in bis record as
Governor of New Jersey; Because
he stands for the revival of our mer
chant marine, government promotion
rf agriculture and industrial and vo
cational education; Because he
tructs the people and believes that
tho governed should govern; and
the people; Because he performs in
office the promises made out of office;
Because he would “clean house” at
Washington as he has “cleaned
house" in New Jersey; Because he
preaches and practices clean politics
and opposes machine politics; Be
cause he is a real progressive; Be
cause his election will restore the
government to the people.
THE DEATH OF MR. RUFUS L. MOSS.
In the death of Mr. Rufus L. Moss the city of Athens has lost one ot
its oldest and most honored citizens. Almost four score and ten years, fall
of useful deeds, had crowned bis life, when the summons came for him
to lay down life’s burdens and go hence to the undiscovered country. Into
those eighty-eight years had been crowded the events of a most active
life. He had iived In this city nearly all that time and had seen the city
grow from a small village into its present magnificent size.
From early manhood he had been a prominent factor in this city. He
had done his part in the many movements towards success that marked
the progress of Athens from the village to the city of today. In the world
of business he had achieved a marked success and had invested his money
In many ways that helped the city forward.
For scores of years he had been a leading member of the Methodist
church, devoted to its success and energetic in the prosecution of all move
ments looking to its advancement.
Mr. Moss was a gentleman of the old school, a type of Georgia citizen
now fast passing away. He was a prominent figure In Athens who will be
missed not only by those close and dear to him, but also by the community
at large.
♦- f
HELP GEORGIA DO HER PART.
The democratic campaign committee wants five thousand dollars more
from Georgia democrats. It is stated by those in authority that this
amount from Georgia democrats is absolutely needed and needed right
away, for legitimate campaign purposes.
We have not the slightest doubt about the truth of this statement. The
democrats have the best chance they have had in recent years to win the
presidency if the proper work Is done. It takes money to do this work
right. It takes money to pay the heavy expenses of a great campaign like
this. It takes money in a thousand ways that are perfectly legitimate.
No money is wanted for vote buying or for bribery in any shape. The
money is needed for the plain, matter of fact expenses of the campaign and
if the campaign is to be carried to a successful culmination this money
must be forthcoming.
Georgia has not been asked for a great sum. Fifteen thousand dollars
from the state of Georgia is no large contribution. Ten thousand doUars of
that amount has been raised. Five thousand dollars more must be raised
at once.
Athens has not yet done her part. There are hundreds of Athenians
who are loyal democrats and who wish most thoroughly to see Woodrow
Wilson the next president who have not yet made contribution.
Send your dollar in right away and do not limit your contribution to
one dollar if you can‘give more. -Every dollar helps and you should cer
tainly give that much if no more.
Let the contributions roll in rapidly. What is to be done must be
done at once if it is count.

THE RACE ISSUE IN CHlCAG >.
Chicago is having a taste of the race question. Jack Johnson, the
.negro pugilist, who had a white wife and who a few days since abducted
white woman in Chicago, for which he was arrested, is the cause of the
trouble.
There is said to be danger of the negro pugilist being lynched if he
is not removed from Chicago and the mayor of the city is trying to find
some legal way to get rid of him.
There are some people in the north who believe in the social eq
of the races, but their number is small. On the other hand the whitt
of the west and north are pretty much the same as the white men c
South when this question is brought home to them.
The social intermingling of the white and black races will n
tolerated to any extent South. Let the situation be clearly defined and
brought squarely home to the northern people and they will act about as
quickly as we would act in this section.
The better class of negroes in this part of the country repudiate the
conduct of Jack Johnson and even in the north there are plenty of negroes
who repudiate it. •
, the people keeping clean,
Shines their faces and their collar^,
just the nicest ever seen;
Ready at a minute’s notice when the
gauntlet’s been thrown down.
To clean up a mad delinquent or
clean out the whole blamed town.

My Own Column
(BY D. a BICKERS.)
SOME ELOQUENCE. ’
L
I know a man who once was sent?
To feed a hungry multitude;
He, on his mission bent,
Thro’ all the market went
In search of food .
To Buit his taste, and found
A luscious peach, most beautiful and
sound,
Rose-blush upon its cheek.
And damask softness, hint
Of summer sunshine’s golden glint;
Then did he seek
For sparkling cut-glass dish
To fit his wish;
And o’er the peach he piled
A wealth of flowers sweet
With scent, in loveliness all undefiled,
A vision fair,
A dream most rare
For ideal artist’s view—
And to the starving rabble in. the
street
Presented this. (This story’s true).
U.
Say, I have heard
Master of word
And learned languages-juggler
Make a speech—
Of hours.
And I have had in mind that peach
Among the flowers.

NOMINALLY SPEAKING.
“I know a little negro,” said a re
marker, “who bears the extraordinary
names of ‘George Washington Thom
as Jefferson Benjamin Franklin La-
Fayette Sitting-in-thfe-golden-chair
Harrison.’ ’’
“That recalls that manner in which
a friend of mine got his name,” re
turned the reremarker. “His parents
were most religious folk and they de
cided that the solemn ceremony of
selecting a name for their eldest first-
"born should be In the good old Scrip
tural manner. They determined to
open the Bible at random, place a
finger with the eyes closed on a pas
sage, and from that means get a
name—probably a name of one of the
apostles or prophets or something or
other like that. Well, they opened
the Book and the finger fell on this
verse: ’Make a joyful noise unto the
Lord.’ And that they named him:
‘Make a Joyful Noise Unto the Lord
Jinkins.’ He signs his name ‘M. N.
Jinikns.’ ”

HE’S VERSATILE.
L
He makes the shears his weapon of
offense, defence as well,
His tool to make a living, and adorn
ment for a spell,
He, makes his heavy leaders, editor*

And he also makes a living shingling
heads for modest fees.
When he isn’t scraping faces, fitting
lasts to fill the cheek,
Why, he’s scraping np the Items for
the paper coming week,
He can razor beards artistic and
sometimes a mole or two,
He can also raise a devil in the
printshop—just a few?

CENSUS BUREAU REPORT
SHOWS 6,838,841 GINNED
This Compares with 7,758,621 Bale;;
Last Year, When 49.9 Had Been
Ginned.
Washington, Oct. 25—Cotton ginned
to Oot. 18 amounted to 6,838,841 bales
or 819,780 bales less than ginned to
that date last year, when a record
crop was grown, according to the cen
sus bureau’s report today. East of
the Mississippi the giunings fell be
low last year’s while west of the Mis-
sissippi last year’s figure were ex
ceeded in every state. Texas ginned
to that date a greater quantity by
more than half a million bales than
ever before.
In addition to the ginning figures,
the census bureau announced statis
tics estimating the world’s produc
tion of cotton from crop of 1911 at
22,297,000 bales of 500 pounds net;
the consumption for the year ending
Aug. 31, 1912, at 20.277,000 bales, and
the number of active consuming cot
ton spindles at 140,954,000.
Who Will Sit in the Seats of the Mighty
The Money Proxies or the People’s NlenP
This is entirely a question o£ the people flatting together. ,
In this campaign there are only two sides, that of the Interests and that of the People.
Woodrow Wilson has refused in no uncertain terms all financial help from questionable
sources. .
As a result the Interests have combined their money against him.
people must combine their money for him.

The enemy does not need help. They simply
don’t want opposition. The non-combatants are

Woodrow Wilson’s Choice a
Prophecy
Years ago Woodrow Wilson dedicated his life to
public service. He entered upon a study of govern
ment. He made himself a master of government,
not in a theoretical but a practical sense. He
studied other governments as well as our own.
Then he espoused thef People’s Cause not from
the side which cried out the loudest that it was the
“People’s Party” but from the side which his know
ledge told him represented the true principles of
Popular Government.
He became a Democrat. Years afterward, he
became a great Democratic Governor. He admin
istered his office in true Democratic fashion, elicit
ing the praise of the whole state of New Jersey.
In eighteen months after he became governor,
so powerful was the national effect of his achieve
ments as a Progressive Governor that the Demo
cratic party made him their Progressive Candidate
for the Presidency.
In launching his now National Campaign Wilson took a
characteristic stand—he chose not to accept a penny
for campaign expenses from anyone except the People.
His choice we believe a prophetic one—prophet
ic of an upright, fearless administration when he
takes the Presidential chair, prophetic of great,
enduring, honorable public service in the White
House.
Everywhere throughout this great country there
are earnest men and women who can only afford to
give one dollar. But we want their gifts as much
as we.want any. We honor the dollar-giyers.
Send just what you can. We can put it to good
use at once. Know that your money can be a great
help to the cause which means most to this country.

“The People’s Choice Made
Effective by the People’s Money”
—WOODROW WILSON
In these .words the Democratic standard bearer, with characteristic incisiveness, has
struck the keynote of the movement which is supporting him and which is going to elect him.
For a quarter of a century the money of the Interests has been paying the political
bills of the nation. And the Interests have been receiving in return the legislative favors
of those elected to office by its money.
As far as Wilson and Marshall, their ticket and the Democratic National Committee
are concerned, these things are at an end.
A National House Cleaning
Wilson’s program calls for a National House Cleaning.
He has said to the people—“Break into your own house
and live there. Aud I want you to examine very critically
the character of the tenants who have been occupying it.
It is a very big house and very few people have been living
in it: and the rent has been demanded of you and not of
them. You have paid the money which enabled them to
live in your own house and dominate your own premises.”
r’ection Day is going to be Moving Day for the old
tenants.
The people are going to move into their own house on
November 5th. But first they have got to house clean.
Not with mops and pails, scrubbing brushes and pumice
stones. But with their dollars, dean, bard-earned dollars
which will drive out the tainted ones and pay the moving
expenses which the old arrogant avaricious tenants have
paid with bribes in years gone Dy.
Answer to the Rallying Cry
The strong-hearted progressive voters of the country, the
Independent Democrats, Republicans, Progressives and
Socialists, are helping with their money the cause of right
eousness and popular government.
They 'will pay the bills of the Democratic Campaign.
They will help to sprecd the gospel of Wilson and Marshall,
their platform and ticket, among millions of free men, of
voters who must know the right and the wrong in this Cam
paign. They will back up the refusal of Wilson and Mar
shall to accept corporation money. They will stand, by
Wilson and Marshall in their determination to win by the
people's money or not at all.
Will you give one dollar to elect Woodrow Wilson
President of the United States? Will you give $2, $5, $10
or $20?
• The People's Cause Needs a
Million Dollars
That’s a lot oi money—but it will be easy to get it ii
every man who believes in Wilson abd Marshall does his
part. There is no reason why the People’s Cause should
not have as big a campaign fund as the Cause of the Few.

single man to think for a minute that his dollar isn’t needed.
It is needed. Will you give today?
