The following remarkable ac
count of a remarkable phase in the
American character shows the
reason why anarchists flourish in
America more than any where else;
only leaving now and then to go
over to the old world, and kill a
king or two.
In Chicago last week a meeting
was held at which tne murder of
President McKinley last year was
referred to as a praisworthy deed,
and was applauded. Last Sunday
evening, Emma Goldman, an asso
ciate of the murder, made a speech,
also in Chicago, in which she de
nounced the American people as
cowards as compared to the Rus
sians, who, she said, were brave
enough occasionally to produce a
man that would strike down an
oppressor. The speech was made
at Brand’s Hall in the presence of
four policemen, to whom she re
ferred as “uniform animals,” and
was fully reported in tjje newspa
pers. There was a fair crowd of
anarchists in attendance, who ap
plauded the wonan for her obser
vations.
After the murder of the Presi
dent the Goldman woman and all
the other anarchist orators and
writers were horrified at any inti
mation they had suggested murder.
Emma Goldman declared she had
never given any advice to the mur
derer to shed blood, although Czol-
gosz himself said.he was inspired
to his work by a speech which he
heard from her. Now, little more
than a year later, she and other
anarchists ar^ making more incen
diary speeches, and perhaps the
result will be the same.
Johann Most was sent to prison
for a year because of the publica
tion of an editorial which counsel
ed the killing of rulers. Is then?
any distinction between scattering
such firebrands in newspapers of
limited circulation or in public
speeches in g r eat cities full of the
material of which such men as
Czolgosz are made?.—Macon Tel
egraph.
The Thomasville people have
organized a Merchants Association
whose duty it will to get out, with
in the next few months a booklet
setting forth the natural resources
of the town and county and calling
attention to the salubrious climate
of the place. These booklets are
to be sent all over the country aqd
it is expected that they will be
influential in bringing many mon
eyed visitors to their section. We
have no doubt that these are not
“Great Expectations without foun
dations.” Would any one be un
kind enough to cry chestnuts if
we asked the people of a certain
nearby commuity to take dots.
It would be a hot question lor
the news paper men if it should be
left to them to decide what should
be done with Mrs. Carrie Nation
after her recent tirade against the
‘^oo” at the New York Horse
Show. Some are of the opinion
that she knows better and should
be handed over to the police while
otheys bontend that she should be
sent to the insane asylum. We
have not yet heard of anyone advo
cating sending her to an inebri
ates’ home.
All those who felt that they had
nothing for which to be thankful
on yesterday should read the sto
ry of Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbaga
Patch. For true pathos and help
ful humor we believe the tale to
be without a parallel.
Impnvei Farming Methods.
“One of the significant indica
tions of the progress and prosper
ity of the farmers here is the fact
that they are buying more improv
ed farming implements now than
ever before. A firm in this city
sold last week two machines for
cutting and piling corn stalks.
This is only one of many instances.
Almost daily new wagons pass
our door bound for nearby farms.
Our farmers are looking into the
future, and numbers of them are
yearly investing much of their
profits in improvements on their
farms. There is. no section of the
state where the farmers are more
intelligent and progressive.
Not many years ago, our farm
ers used to scratch over the top of
the ground with a one horse plow,
and wonder why the crops were
so poor. Now agriculture has
been raised to [the level of any
other business or profession, and
intelligent methods, judicious in
vestment of capital, and well di
rected labor, are bringing a rich
reward. Sneers at the ‘horny
handed son of toil’ are out of date
now-a days. The farmer is the
man of the hour.”—Thomasville
Times Enterprise.
We trust and believe that the
same thing can be said of the far-
meis of Decatur county. Nothing
counts for so much as methodical
work. In this instance it is not a
case of the tortoise by persistance
winning from the hare but modern
farm implements couple celerity
and durability together. We trust
that the time will soon come in
the south when the head can do
practically all the work and the
hands need only be an adjunct.
The work will be just as fatiguing
to the farmer but for the same
amount of fatigue, and nervous
energy expended, ten fold the
amount of work will be accom
plished,
There are going to be a number
of would-be Joshuas who will de
sire to lead the Democratic party
to victory in 1904. They are
springing up now and before the
real day comes many will wither
as the grass in the field in the
scorching sun of public scrutiny
of past records and present re
quirements, while still others will
shrivel up on account of their own
littleness of soul. It remains to
be seen whether William Randolph
Hearst will be found wanting
when the great day for Democrat
ic Supremacy arrives. Read what
an exchange has to say of his past
record;
“He is without a political record
save for the general policy of his
papers, which 1 ave been strongly
in favor of labor and the common
people. 1 hen he has some mill
ions back of him lor the sinews of
war. It is no new or sudden thought
with Hearst. He is a young man
of fixed ideas, and plans reacning
far ahead. With the stepping
stone of his father’s wealth and
prestige and the influence of four
great organs, he sees no reason
why he should not aspiie to the
highest office in the land—and
surceed. He figures that the
chances are not so bright in 1904
as they will be four years later.
By that time the two term rule
will have eliminated Roosevelt;
the dominaht party will have made
the inevitable mistakes; factional
differences will have caused divis
ions; the high wave of prosperity
will have subsided, and the coun
try will be ready for a change. It
is the hope and plan of William R
Hearst to be ready for just this
state of affairs.’’
The whisky election has been
called off in Thomasville. It
seems that the Thomas County
elects its constables in December
and it is illegal to hold an elec
tion on the Local Option Question
during the same month. The
fight will probably come up later
on. The same state of affairs ex
ists in Brooks County.

Honesty, ability and capacity
are the greatest foundation stones
of any man’s career. They are
also as necessary to build up and
maintain a strong character a» pil
lars and beams are necessary to
hold together a ten-story building.
Without them, a man is a weak
being, at the best; with them, he
is all that the world can desire.
I can hear the young man say,
“How can I secure these valuable
materials? How can I find, them?
Where do they exist?”
Young man, they exist every
where in the perfect life. The at
mosphere is just as full of them
gs it is full of the valuable oxygen
that gives us life. The man who
inhales the oxygen can also inhale
honesty, utility, and capacity.
Once in his body, unlike the oxy
gen of the air. they never leave.
Just make up your mind that
you will be a man along these
lines. Just say to yourself, “I
will!” Make up your mind that
you will. Say to yourself, “I
will be a man,—a true, noble,
fearless man. I will study, I will
read, 1 will live for all that is
good in the world, and I will save
my money,-
“Not for to hide it in a hedge,
Not for a train atteddant;
But for thi glorious privilege
Of beiog independent.’ ”
It is a simple task to acquire
these qualities. It is far more
simple than learning A, B, C;
and, once acquired, they stick for
life.—Moultrie News.
The Speakership Contest.
Hon. Joseph G. Cannon is likely
to be speaker and he ought to be,
because be is a veteran in the ser
vice, has worked hi^ way to the
very front, and he seems to be the
logical successor of Present Speak
er Henderson.
As chairman of the committee
on appropriations he has aroused
some opposition because he has
many times thrown all his influ
ence against schemes which would
have raided the strong box of the
nation if they has passed the house
of representatives. The southern
people have a vital interest in such
protection for the treasury. We
cannot afford to discredit such
patriotism. Of course Mr. Can
non knew all the time that mem
bers who are interested in these
defeated measures would become
sore and censorious, and it is pos
sible he may be beaten if many
such persons are enlisted against
him. ,
Of course Mr. Cannon is a
staunch republican. He would be
so naturally since his party has
honored him so highly, but in a
choice between republican candi
dates for the speakership, it is
neither difficult nor embarrassing
to choose an official who has been
brave enough to set his face
against many bills that came be
fore the house, carrying millions
of dollars out of the treasury if
they should be enacted into laws.
Some may incline to a younger
man for speaker because Mr Can-
nan has been in the house almost
continuously for thirty years, but
his kind attentions to southern
members should at least give him
their respect and sympathy at a
time when the country needs age
and experience as much as it needs
brill iancy or vigor.
The speakership is a worthy
prize for any man's amoition and
no matter who may win it when
the new congress assembles, he
should be a man of experience and
undoubted patriotism, because the
speaker bolds the helm of national
legislation almost in his single
grasp.—Atlanta Journal.
