THE NEW TRIBUNAL.
The state and supreme courts
having passed on the Frank case,
the Atlanta newspapers and min
isters and Old Man Peepul seem
determined to try it over again.
The law's delay is said to be
the cause of most of our lynch
ings. The demand everywhere
is for legal reform that will in
sure speedy trial in the courts.
Give the people a trial in a rea
sonable time and they say it was
impossible to have an impartial
hearing on account of public sen
timent.
How are you going to please
the people?
Unless this tribunal, the pub
lic, the newspapers and preach
ers, are going to supplant the
courts, the present clamor seems
out of place.
It will do one thing: It will
destroy the confidence the people
have in the courts.
There is not a man in Georgia
that wants to see an injustice
done in this case or any other case.
The great body of the people
have confidence in the courts.
If Frank gets anew trial let
the courts givejit to him—not the
public.
Georgia has six hogs per farm
to thirty-four for lowa, while the
average for the United States
is thirteen.
C. C. Brantley of the Valdosta
Times has accepted a position as
associate editor of the Macon
Telegraph.
It is time to cut out bickering
and squabblihg and get down to
business. Why not another rail
road and some new enterprises
for the town?
Butts must make this her best
year agriculturally. With a Farm
Demonstrator to Dush the corn
and canning club work along
gTeat things should follow.
With the exception of county
commissioner and tax receiver,
who are required to pay $lO, all
the Spalding county candidates
will have to pav an assessment
of $25.

RURAL CREDIT PLAN
FOR GEORGIA
The following article taken
from the Atlanta Constiton deals
with the rural credit plan in a
plain, straight forward manner.
The subject is one of such inter
est and importance that the arti
cle Will be read with close atten
tion:
What Georgia and the south
needs is not more money, but
more muscle; not government
aid, but more work and self
reliance. To get cheaper money
they need to raise better crops
and pay better, repeal or amend
some bad laws and stop making
new ones. When the farm and
the mortgage are both taxed, the
farmer must pay both taxes, the
lender must and does add it in
the interest. When the crop
loan or other loan is risky, the
risk must be included in the note.
When the farmer buys his living
and feed and mule on credit, in
stead of raising them, he is out
the whole amount, including the
high credit prices. Why are
half the farmers tenants of bank
ers and merchants? Because
they borrowed and bought on
credit, lived beyond their earn
ings, and the creditor had to
take the farm because he couldn’t
get either principal or interest.
Thirty years ago Kansas farm
ers were bankrupt; grasshoppers,
politics and money lenders had
done it. Then they pulled off
their coats, rolled up their sleev
es and went to plowing. Now
the state is full of big horses,
steers, hogs, houses, barns,
school houses, automobiles and
bank deposits. Kansas banks
are big buyers of manufacturers'
notes. The denuded pine lands
of Wisconsin have in twenty
years been turned into rich
farms. Wisconsin land is more
hilly and not as rich as the red
hills of Georgia, the new settlers
had little besides an ox team,
they had no banker and no gov
ernment aid, yet Wisconsin is
now the most progressive, pros
perous and educated state in the
union.
The European rural credit sys
tem is not so much of a plan for
“gittin of loans” as to increase
farm production. It makes two
bushels or pounds or heads grow
where only one grew before. The
money is obtained for specified
profitable production purposes
only. The association which bor
rows the money in a lump gets it
out to its members for a purpose
approved by the committee, and
only to members of known hon
esty and industry guaranteed bv
two fellow members. This system
is what has made Danish and
German farmers rich, and now
doing it in Ireland and other
countries. This has created the
co-operative creameries, pork
packing, poultry and egg societies.
Asa political expedient to quiet
unruly Ireland, England has ad
vanced a hundred million to dis
possess the English landlord and
sell to the Irish tenant, the land
and the tenant remaining under
strict departmental control. It
has authorized local boards to do
the same in small acre allotments
to the very poor and paupers in
England. Neither of these plans
would be acceptable to the Geor
gia tenant, nor confirm to our
theories of government.
Remove the burdens and re
strictions on capital, persuade
farmers to depend on their own
work instead of aid from govern
ments, get them to raise food
j and feed in Georgia in place of
the north, fill the thousand hills
■ with cattle and horses, organize
co-operative associations for do
ing their business, including tick
eradication, and the cry of the
down-trodden farmer will become
a by-word in Georgia as it has
become in bleeding Kansas.

There la more Catarrh In this aectlon at
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For & great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease and prescribed Jocal remedies, and
by constantly falling to cure with local
treatment, pronounced It Incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be a consti
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney Sc
Cos.. Toledo, Ohio, is the enly Constitu
tional cure on the market. It is taken In
ternally in doses from 1* drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case It
falls to cure. Send for circulars and tes
timonials.
