Hall Explains Rules
Of Primary Voting
Chairman Hewlett A. Hall was
in Atlanta Monday tor the pur
pose o< conferring with Judge
John C. Hart, whom he is to
succeed as attornoy general, and
while here place construction up-
oq several ot the rules ter hold
ing the state primary which
have been puzzling the people
lor some time.
There can be no ‘’single-shot-
ing’’ in this primary according
to Mr. Hall. Where two can
didates are to be voted tor you
must not strike either one, provid
ed there are but two candidates
lor the two positions. If one
name is marked oft, the ballot
for those particular ofticers is
not counted.
For instance for railroad
commissioners there are at pres
ent three candidates tor
two positions. The voter
must strike only one
It he strikes two :t is at
had marked them all from the
ballot.
THE COUNTY VOTE RULE
Considerably misunderstand-
ing has been rife over the new
rule adopted by the state com
mittee relative to prorating the
vote ot a county where one can-
Blow at the South
As was to be expected the
Federal grand jury in New
York has returned indict
ments against James A Patter
son, Frank 13 Haynes, W P
Brown, E G Scales and M H
Rothschilds for endeavoring to
corner the cotton and force
prices up. It is remarkable
that the short interest of New
England, Europe and New York
City have systematically pooled
their issues to torce the cot
ton market down, and have been
successful in their ellorts lor
years, but our patriotic and zeal
ous Federal authorities have
never discovered any restraint of
trade in this transaction.
When the New York and
New England “bears” sold
themselves up to their neck in
May cotton in New York in
January, and found they could
not check the upward tendancy
ot the market, they became des-
name. p^ ra j e anc i laid plans to have
t i, e j aw intervene to save thems
selves, at the cost of the cotton
planter. We have the name ot
at least one New York “bear”
who promulgated a circular let
ter invoking the sentiment of
the country against the unjust
treatment of the poor spinner,
and those dependent on him,
didate does not receive a major-1 suggesting ths anti-trust law as
ity over two or more opponents, the final and last remedy
Where a county has only one
legislator it is entitled to two
votes in the convention. Or it
is entitled to two votes to every
ligislator, to put it in terms easii
ly understood. Then where a
candidate receives one-eighth ot
the vote in a county he is entitled
to one-fourth of a vote in the
convention. Not less than one-
lour^h fit a vote will be counted.
This rule applies only when a
Candidate fails to recieve a
majority of all the votes cast in
a county.
Only a perfect ticket shall be
voted. That is to say, candi
dates must not prepare ballots
with the name of their opponents
left off. To be counted, the
names ot every candidate must
appear on the ballot.
Counties can not levy assess
ments upon candidates for state
house offices. These assess-
ments are levied by the state
committee and are to be used
for publishing a hand book
which virtually w.ll be a Dem
ocratic directory ot the United
States, setting forth at the outset
theDemocratic national platform
and the state Democratic plat
form. Then is to follow statis
tics of theDemocratic party in its
every branch ail over the
Union.

What about the poor man
with the hoe?
The men above indicted im.
mediately gave bond, and pro
ceeded to buy. the market
U P‘ ...
For the first time in the history
of cotton a successful ‘bull’ cam.
paign has been waged on the
tailend of a short crop. For
the first time in the history of
cotton the planter has been able
to get something near its value
every week since the market
opened lsst September, and the
men who have been indicted for
buying up the market are solely
responsible lor such conditions ;
yet we undertake to say that
the consuming world—the spin-*
ners—have tory friends enough
in the South, misled by laaatic.il
demagogues, to condemn these
men for supporting the market,
in what they would ignorantly
term gambling.
The “bears” have shot their
last wad, and it is up to the
people of the -South to retaliate
in no uncertain terms for the
attempted outrage.
To that end Cotton and Cot
ton Oil News will publish lull
details and names of all parties
to the conspiracy as soon as they
can be obtained. It matters not
to us whom it may help or
whom it may hurt. This paper
has a mission and a service to
perform to the cotton planters
and the people ot the South
generally, and will not shirk its
duty, no matter how much the
cost, pecuniarily or otherwise.

simple enough. Animals from

Too Inquisitive.
Mr Editor. When a fellow
has a fine rising or carbuncle
on his tace or neck, or when he
is suffering from some bruise or
sore on the limbs or body and
when he is in deep study as to
the distance between Kamscat-
ska and Heflin or trying to fig
ure out the age ot Penobscots
great uncle, trying his best to
forget his pain and suffering,
then tor a rank stranger, one
whom he has never seen before
and hopes to never see ag-.in,
asks the question “Mr whats
the matter with your face or
neck or arm?” well that brings
back unfond recollections and
you borrow a little patience J
from Job and answet “it is a j
sore or wound ot some kind” |
yes I knew a man who had one
jnsl like that one, only not halt
so bad and it killed him, then 1
our friends go on to tell a I
remedy or tells a man or woman
who nevers tails to cure up
things like that.
It is considered ill manners
for a body to interrogate one on
Ids mistoitunes, and especially
i-- it so tor any but ones
intimate friends. Of course
there are some who take their
liberty for the good of humanity
and with a thought ot beneficial
to the afflicted one, but 90 per
cent is moved by curiosity. A
person gets awlully tired and
vexed at being asked about h s
afflictions time and again every
day. Old father Job never had
but three to wo ry him and i e
called ( them “miserable comforts”
what would he have done it he
had been askee and questioned
by three hundred. I don’t
know but what would have took
his wife’s advice, only he should
cussed them outjand died. ff
