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

CREATE A DEMAND.
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.

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.
