TELEPHONE NUMBER 166 A BLESSING FOR THE SOUTH If the voters of Georgia should pile up a majority for Tom Wat son in the November election, the whole world, the North, and even the remaining portion of the South, could only admire such an act of political independence; the world, the North, and even our own sister states would re spect us all the more, and in thp years to follow the historian would record such an act as the greatest political blessing .which had happened to the south since the civil war. Itrwould be the beginning of a era when the sounds of tailing shackles would be heard through out the Southland and when our statesmen should once again rule in the halls of our national coun cils. For that time is coming coming ah, dear reader, its coming and he who does not see that fact is blind. And until it does come, the north will hardly know the south is on the map. except as a place to grind unjust profits out of the honest toil of our men, women and children. It may be long coming. The people are slow to better them selves. They are continually told of their condition, but for a reason the good God only knows, they desire to follow the pro cession, even though they suffer. They listen and they forget. They do not even take their preacher seriously what he says, they say they believe, but, for some reason, what the preacher says, has a way going in one ear and escaping in some unaccountable way, out of the other ear. But history shows that the time finally comes when the peo ple awake and then something happens. That time so far as our political freedom is con cerned is just over the hills. It may be farther away than November, but the stars are not more certain to shine than that a real proclamation of a real emancipation will be declared and enforced by some great southern statesman. That Watson's carrying the one state of Georgia would be a great blessing for the south is admitted by even old-line Demo crats. We ourselves, have heard some of them make such a state ment, but for fear of political death, for lack of real indepen dence of action so typical of the present south, they submit to the lash of their party, and warp what little remnant of conscience and conviction they possess in the vice of political cowardice. If a man is a Democrat when his beliefs are in line with what Democracy used to be. then Tom Watson is a Democrat. He is one of the few stars in their true orbits, and the lesser lights who stand aloof and abuse him will some day flicker into oblivion as sure as wrong is doomed to die: and the principles for which he stands, if not Watson himself, will live again in the hearts of a free people. Time alone will tell the story. We Are Not Trying to Unload An undesirable piece of proper ty by offering lots at auction in Douglas Heignts.
