SIJHSOK I I*TIOX RATIOS One Year, -- - - SI.OO Six Months. ... 50 Three Months, - - 25 Thursday, October 1 , 1908. Electi >ll riots are now going on in Cuba. !W is? Si Ivey Sjiecr, of Atlant;i, he i rep's to the Silvey fortune, 1 1 ah man led a tru" nobleman —a, cul tured American working man. Already the injured are lining hauled from the foothill gridiron. A Tennessee hoy was kicked crazy at Vale Saturday and the student hodv regrets it somewhat, because he was a big husky fellow and his place on the team will lie hard to till. The daddy will see that the invalid receives proper care. Jim Wood ward was elected mayor] of Atlanta because he was the most competent candidate in the field.! There are 2,T00 citizens of Atlanta] who would vote for Woodward for! president of the I’nited States i This nucleus with the groat nun>-! her who will vote for anything Dr- i Broughton opposes, frightened off all formidable opposition. Thus I Woodward takes the' mayoralty practically on a silver waiter. Governor Smith has admitted his great mistake of two years ago! in the following language: “1 think, the time lias come when we ought ; to get hack to party regularity in j Georgia and let democrats control 1 their affairs without outside inter-; ference.” Quite, right, governor, Inn it, is not “the time" which lias “come.” That time has been here i for many years- Tin* change is in i you, and you are now looking to ward the bright light of true demoe r: i e>. VVc have no to 1k i insistent, hut really Colonel Boh Boss, of Ihe Winder News, is welching most dis gracefully on that cigar proposition. We've waited patiently for weeks for him to “make good. * Atlanta Georgian. We (hiked when we wrote that item. Had it been stove wood, Vnap beans or cotton seed we would have “made good" long ago. 'tour infernal persistency has every Geor gian subscriber in three counties calling on us for cigars, "when there air no cigars- Weve just trot a cash subscriber in Bhakc Hag .. •sZZ. Percales.

There has been much written re cently concerning night riders past ing notices upon gin houses in many southern states, tfircuteningto apply the torch if they began operations until the price of cotton readies 12c. Some have laid this threat ened lawlessness at tlx* doors of the Farmers’ Union, but the president of that org; n’zation many officers have come forward with em phatic denials of any connection with the affair, and we believe them, for this honored body of men are law-abiding citizens. It seems to lis that these threats will do more to lower the price of cotton than raise’it, for no one (•ares to handle the staple without carrying insurance, and when a few gin houses go up in smoke it will he impossible to get reasonable insurance, and .the farmer must foot the hill in the depreciation in price. Then, too, the farmer will rush lid cotton onto the market through fear of the flames. The price of cotton is controlled jin most part by the law of supply aud demand. When the farmer holds all his cotton and places him l self in a position \vhereby he is not able to purchase manufactured cot ton goods he breaks a link in the endlessehain <>f supply and demand, the tendency being toward a stand still and thg closing down of the mills, and he must pay the added cost of this closing down when lie does purchase manufactured cotton goods When the farmer dumps his cotton on the market and still refuses to purchase the manufac tured article the tendency is to choke the mills and lower the pi ice of the raw material. It may be a wild idea of ours,but it occurs to us that the Farmers' Union would coiuc nearer solving tlie problem by requiring its mem bers to expend 10 per cent of the proceeds of their first sale's of cotton for manufactured cotton goods, thereby keeping the endless chain in motion. Should every farmer in the southern states take home with him a bolt of cotton goods when he sells his lirst bale of cotton the added price he would receive for iiis second bale would be sut lieient to make his purchase almost a clear pick-up. In purchasing goods the slogan of the southern farmer should not lie, “How much wool does the cloth contain?” But “How much cotton is there in it?” Make it stylish to wear nothing but..cotton goods in the smith and the demand will lift the price of the raw material. “ILL-ADVISED LEGISLATION/’ Mr. Editor —The next issue of The News may tell the result of the jbtoU'r election in Georgia. Lace Curtains. Cheapest and best Lace Curtains ever shown here. Curtains from .‘>7eto SO.OO. on, and men selected to fill impor tant places in date government. HoW will we vote? The so-called negro disfranchisement is up to the voter. Does he understand the of fset of his vote? Has he read the proposed amendment and consider ed the effect thereof? The lack of aggitation of this question, since it served its purpose in polities, arouses the suspicion tfant the ques tion may have danger lurking in it.- The white voter had best, read this proposed amendment. We see no reason fot calling it negro disfranchisement, when every negro in Geergia may vote who is entitled under the present, law, provided' the registrars will pass up his char-, actor for good. \ 1 shall vote against this amend ment as trashy, ill-advised legisla tion. Legislation that bids fur dis honesty in registrars, political trick ery which may fill the court dock ets with eases for the establishment I of character. A local bill for Jackson county is j tube passed on, pertaining to our j countv authorities. Are the voters posted and ready to change the law j concerning commissioners of Loads j and Revenues, in accordance with j the act passed by the legislature to j be ratified !>v the people? 1 could make argument for or' against this change, and then be; in douhUas to how I should vote] to advance tin interest of my! county. The pension commissioner is to! he elected this time by the people- i This law l>eing passed since the! June, primary, there is no nominee, but an independent race for this oitiee. There arc seven avowed candidates in the field. Borne names appeal’ on the official ticket while others do not. The reason others do not have their names on the ticket is because of the failure to pay the assessment of fifty dol lars- The election blanks sent out some time ago had an error in the word ingas to constitutional amendments. This has been corrected by posting oii a slip. The blanks for House s, Randolph's and Clarksboro districts wore sent out 'adore notice for this correction was given. The mana gers should paste a portion of the official ticket on the returns and tally sheets before sending in, or tin 1 returns will not lie legal as to the amendments. They con readi ly see the change needed by com paring the tally sheet with the of ficial ticket. This election will put some of our best friends to a choice between Crow and Carter. They have eaten crow with me heretofore and laughed about it. There is nothing like a good leader when making music or eating crow. If the two Jeffs and time Johns who have worn wry fauces so long will walk right up, as 1 believe they will, early in the morning of election day and call for choice pieces of old crow, Joe Brown’s majority at this preoint will be huge. -J.
