Notice.
Communications of a political
nature favoring any nmn in the
coming Democratic primary, in¬
serted in the columns of this pa¬
per, will be charged for and ntuik-
ed as on advertisement.
We had fnther vote for Bryan
any day than Hearst.
We are not over modest, but
wish Winter would hurry up and
get out of tlie Inp of Spring.
Bencin has a girls’ walking club,
says the Enterprise. Wonder how
that “w"got into the “t” box.
The only objection to the soon
primary is that tho groundhog
will not get out early enough to
vote.
It is suid the government has
spont that $250,000 appropriation
for salt to put on the holt wovils’
tails so it can catch ’em.
A disgusted exchange wunts to
know why Bryan doesn’t practice
what he preaches. Too busy
preaching to practice anything.

The woman who' wants ii di¬
vorce but lucks ihe •necessary evi¬
dence on which to secure it should
persuade her hu6l>and to run for
office.
President Smith snys he has
five wives and forty-two children
nnd is happy. The Devil
expect to linvo any fun out of Mr.
Smith when he gets him.
Tho corset manufacturers are
looking for a substitute for whale¬
bone stays siucu the whales have
nil died. The wonder is that the
women w ho wore I he stays did
not dio first.
President Smith of the Mormon
church snys each of his five wives
Jives in a separate house. The
fact that they are living anywhere
is all that is necessary to prove
the truthfu'ness of this statement.
A woman asks the editor of an
Atlanta paper how tb destroy a
romance thut has sprung up be¬
tween her daughter and “a
tain objectionable young man.”
Our advice would be to let them
marry. •
Tho bounty of tho uniform text
book systom is not in the samples
of books we have secn., N Tlwy . i^re
ns sorry a lot of books, as far as.
workmanship goes, as were ever
seen in tins section. We have not
yet seen all the advantages of this
wonderful system.
Jim Griggs says the only thing
necessary to give the Hearst boom
permanency is for the people to
name some bay babies William
Hearst. He evuh inly wants Gear-
^iatis to keep up with those Kan-
ana folks who nro naming I lie girl
t nbics Carno Xation.
It way bo that you have riot
thought about it, but tilings are
getting in a mess in Georgia. The
Heaiat barrel iias been’'rolled into
the state, knocking editorial tri¬
pods right and left and ilenrst bouncing
politicians into tho baud
wagon like so mahv tint pins.
That Chicago professor contin¬
ues to w arn people who kiss that
they expose themselves to tuber¬
culosis, bnocili and g. rrainiiis
every time they d*' it. Gun cot-
ton, nitro glycerine and lyddite
wouldn't stop tho practice, and
tlie Chicago professor is wasting
his breath.
The statement that Hearst
go into the national oonvention
with a. larger follow,ng than »«y
other candidate is true, pro-
vtded he carries with him all
riffraff and renegade politicians lie
has bribed and bought in his
forts to secure the nomination for
tbe presidency.
Register!. •
The Mass Meeting.
In our judgment there is need
of a more interested concorn on
the part of the people with refer¬
ence to the Democratic mass meet-
ings held every two years in tho
county. Of lato years it seems
that many have come to under¬
estimate tho impoilnnce of these
meetings, and theroforodo not at-
tend. Others, probably, apprei-
ate the importance of tho nines
meeting, but ton groat extent do-
pend upon the probable gyod judg-
mentof (mother on these occa-
siona, which is too often disap-
pointing.
A Democratic mass meeting
should be an exemplification of
of everything for which the term
Democracy stands. This can be
true only when the people are
present to make their wishes
known concerning tho matters to
be disposed of.
Tbe Democrats of Jones county
are called to meet in Clinton on
March 19, tor the purpose of elect¬
ing a comity Democratic exccu-
tive committee, numing a date for
the county primary, nnd to ap¬
point delegates to tho state con¬
vention. All these are important
matters and should command tlie
attention of every Democrat in
the county. Willi a representa¬
tive gathering of citizens present
there is greater likelihood of con¬
servative action on all questions,
and also more probable that the
policy best for the county’s in¬
terest w ill not be overshadowed by
less important considerations.
There should be a healthy in¬
terested manifested in these meet-
tings and a feeling of persona! re¬
sponsibility shown by every Dem-
ocrat'iii the county.
Rule of the People.
The following from tho Macon
Telegraph sounds a timely warn¬
ing against the lack of interest in
party affairs shown by Democrats
It is the right of every I)e»$>crat
to have a voice in the councils of
his party, and his dutPto be pres¬
ent and mako himself heard when
questions of party policy are un¬
der discussion:
“The cream of liberty, 'some one
lias said, is the right of the peo¬
ple to choose their officials. It
seems to us that we are getting
further each turn of the wheel
from the application of this truth.
The peopfri themselves are largely
to blame for this ooiidHioib’Tliej
say: ‘What is the use; certain
cliques will control;’ and tlu;y go
on about their affairs. Those Who
make a profession of politics in
w hatever politbul’partv, it ntnke,-
no difference as to that, gladly see
this growing indifference, and an
quick to take advantage rtf if.
“More and more do the many
weary of party duty nud more and
more do the <w get Its their Work,
fhe many aro more to blame than
the few.
“There ar-e no particular issues
at stake in Georgia Ihi* year, but
it would be a good time to have n
good old-fashioned revival among
the Democratic masses. The peo¬
ple should get in the saddle and
take hold of the reins.”
Facta About the War.

known in Japnneso polities,
Among the Japanese one divorce

^F 11 .
The proportionate circulation
newspapers in Japan is about

general is paid $181 a month,
In linto of peace the Japaneao
army, consisting of 421,000 tren,
costa but $18,500,000 a year.

A Meaning Incident.
That is a piensing incident that
com«8 from New Orleans of the
appearance ill Judge King’s court
of Samuel Hooper, an aged negro,
to conduct his own case. A city
board wanting property belonging
to tho old man for public purpos-
es, offered him $875 for it, but he
contended that it was worth not
less than $700. It seems that the
board entered suit to expropriate
the property and employed able
counsel. Hooper w as offered as-
sistance gratis by members of the
bar, but declined it politely, ex-
plaining that the white men coin-
po6ing the jury would do “nuthin’
’dtfptiit what’s squnr » 11 ' by him.
He persisted in conducting his
own case, examining witnesses and
making an argument in his own
behalf. HiD confidence was
promptly justified, for he Won his
case.
This old man's trust in thejus-
tice of his white neighbors— a con¬
fidence aequired during a long ex¬
perience—is u very ; pleasant thing
to See. It is ploof of a fact which
outsiders seem unable to appreci¬
ate-—qhe fact that the desire and
determination of the white* to con¬
trol absolutely in polities Arid
government involves no desire to
do injustice’to the individual ne¬
gro either ns regards his person;
his property 01 his freedom to.
prosper.—Macirr Telegraph.
