Colonel John I’ecse, of r l he At
liHita Georgian, tvns knocked oat ol
’ \he box on that cigar proposition.
\Vs it our big talk or the brand,
Colonel?
The Wright who i- pawing the
earth for Taft is Puke K., of Ten-
i lessee, Seaborn’s neighbor. Our
Hpitesman is not in active politics
just now .^
'(’be republicans am spending
■barrels of money, and where it
comes from is no secret, though the
campaign committed is silent on
4hc subject.
The Atlanta papers arc not only
making laughing -lock of Sid Tapp
and Jack Smith, hut arc advertis
ing the Gate City as the freak cen
ter of the 1 initial Stab s.
Docs your citizenship in Winder
cause it to fe a better town? Have
you got your shoulder to the wheel
or are you part of the load that the
home loving citizens are carrying?
Mail ordwr firms, which pay no
taxes for the maintenance of a mu
nicipality, are leeches sucking I'm
life blond out of a town, and their
agents are drones in any com
munity.
Well, what if Mayor Joyner did
say Atlanta would vote a wet ticket
if she had a chance? It was only
the truth told by a man who gained
prominence by the reekless driving
of a little red wagon.
Some people will patronize foreign
agencies until a spoiler who affects
their business comes to town. Then
t hey are greatly surprised that the
fire company is not called out and
the populace up in arms.
We are indebted to Brother Hay
good, of The Lawrenceviile Herald,
for a prompt display of fellowship
and brotherly love. A ton of paper
went astray for us ti)is month, and
had it not been for his kind consid
eration The News would have ap
peared tiiis week in pink or blue.
And now 'The Atlanta. Georgian i
turning the light of publicity onto
Atlanta's public school system-
What otti.ct its observations will!
have on the sage old politicians
who have been in charge of th*-
hoard of education since the mem
ory of man runneth not to the con
trary remains to he seen.
if we all go to Atlanta to make
our purchases, our merchants must
move to Atlanta to make the sales.
If our merchants send 10 Atlanta
•foi their printing, our printers must
go to Atlanta to print, and this
principle carried to its last analysis
would depopulate Winder and re
duce her real estate to the normal
value of farm lands. Thus it is
plain to be seen that the mail order
agent who ships money out of local
circulation to foreign firms i- not
only of no value to the upbuilding
of i h • eomnmuity in which he lives,
but is a decided detriment.
RALLY TO BRYAN.
4)emocrucy, led by that peerless
orator and Christian statesman, Y\ .
J. Bryan, we believe, will ring tri
umphant Tuesday, Novendx*r •. ,
Either Bryan, of Nebraska, or
Taft, of Ohio, will Is- called by the
American people to the chief execu
tive chair of the nation on that day.
This much is certain.
Whether the people shall rule, or
predatory wealth control, is the
question the ballots must decide.
Bryan represents the masses
Taft stands for the classes. Democ
racy would remove the tariff from
tin 1 necessities of life. The repub
lican party fosters a trust-breeding
high tariff so that a favored few
may grow richer and richer at the
expense of the masses. The repub
lican party would make serfs and
slaves of t lit* laborer, while democ
racy would make him a self-respect
ing citizen. How shall the verdict
be written?
Georgia, of course, will he found
in the democratic column, but it
seems to us that of all times this is
the time Georgia democrats should
rally to their standard hearer and
rebuke the action of those misguid
ed delegates to Denver.
The Ninth congressional district
furnished one of the four who stood
by Bryan. Let us vindicate his ac
tion by rolling up a big majority for
Bryan and Kern.
Let the old democratic guard of
the state forget its differences of the
recent past, aid in overwhelming
numbers write its approval of what
the party stands for.
Speaking to a large and enthusi
asticcrowd of people at.Eoilet, Ills.,
Momlav, Mr. Brvan said of the at
titude of the republican party to
ward the toiling masses:
“My friends, I think too much
of the next generation to stop my
efforts to rid this country of the
evil of private monopoly. 1 am
willing to go down on my knees
every morning and to mv Father in
heaven, say, 'Give us this day our
daily bread, but God forbid that 1
should make my countrymen go
down on their knees at morning and
say to a trust magnate, 'Give us
this day our daily bread, and have
him answer, "I will if you will
vote the ticket I want you to.’ You
cannot afford to fasten that sort of
system on this country or any other
country, ’'
BACK 10 IIIS URSf LOVL.
Several changes have been made
in the newspaper field of Caiuesville
recently. D. Cl. Bickers has pur
chased W. H. Craig's stock in The
Herald. Mr Craig in turn luts
purchased controlling stock in The
Eagle and thus returns t.o his first
love. Hal ve Craig was connected
with The Eagle in the days when
the versatile Pete I.aw she was its
managing editor and was in the
thickest of the fray in that mem
orable battle royal between inde
pondentism and court-house democ
racy. when Emory Speer, Ceorgia s
brainiest and most gifted young
orator, was defeated for congress by
Hon. A. 1). Candler, “the one
eyed plow boy from pigeon roost. ’’
Mr. Craig is a true-blue democrat
and an editor who speaks his con
victions without fear or favor.
Keep your eye on The (laincsville
i Eagle.
Mr, M. 1\ Harnett,, of Ihjsehton,
was in Winder Tuesday. Mr- Bar
nett has been a continuous sub
senior since The News began pub
lication, and gave us a call while in
tovm. lfe left us smiling when he
said good-bye.
An Atlanta boy stole 820 from
bis father with which to buy a hun
ch*, and rather than take the pun
ishment which he believed bis
father would give him when the
theft was discovered, committed
suicide. Some children receive lit
tle attention from their fathers until
whipping time.

SPOT COTTON LETTtR.
BY W. K. LYI.E & CO
The cotton market has developed
some strength, caused by W all street
buying, principally by 1 boo H.
Brice ami-J. S. Livermore. Spin
ners still remain out of the market
for anything more than immediate
wants, as they are heavily stocked
on goods which cannot be sold, and
until stocks are disposed of, we do
not anticipate an active demand for
actual cotton. We would advise sell
ing on advances.

ItNNtStt NIGHT RIDtRS.
Zaeh Taylor, an aged lawyer, and
Captain Rankin were ►aken from a
hotel at Walnut Log, Tenn., Mon
day night, by night riders and the
latter s body• riddled with bullets.
Col. Taylor made good his escape
and turned up at Tiptonville Wed
nesday. When Rankin was lieing
lynched Taylor jumped into a
stream and hid behind a log. '[ he
mob fired several hundred shots
into the log and loft, him for dead.
The cause of the lynching was the
connection of the men with the
West Tennessee Land Company,
which had forbidden fret fishing in
a lake on tln-ir premises. The
governor of Tennessee has offered a
reward of £IO.OOO for the capture of
the guilty parties.

A desperate negro at 1/ithonia
killed two white men and,, beat an
other into insensibility with the
butt mid of Ins pistol. A negro at
Buck-head, near Atlanta, seriously
wounded three white men before he
was winged by the town marshal.
These were only small acts of inde
pendence displayed by representa
tives of the class upon whom ho
much sympathy was wasted by re
form newspapers a few weeks ago.
