THE VOTE TUESDAY.
We will be proud of our vote Tues
day.. We are glad that we will have
_opportunity to cast one vote for the
party that holds the reins of govern
ment now. We have more reason to
be glad that we can vote as a demo
crat than simply because it will give
‘us an opportunity to vote as a south
erner or as a citizen following in the
footsteps of our fathers.
Whether he wins or loses, the man
in ‘charge of the ship of state has
more than elevated the party he rep
resented when he was chosen. He hay
done a service as a leader that has
won more than the confidence of those
who cast their ballot for him.
President Wilson has made his mis
takes, for he is only human. Some
of these mistakes we remember. Oth
ers have passed and are lost in our
admiration of the things that have
been done for the good of the people
whose chief executive he is, But
none of us can forget the things that
have transpired in Europe. We hear
men say that none of us can (:m'nprw
hend the awful outpouring of blood
and treasure there since President
Wilson has been head of national af
fairs in our own country. We believe
we can appreciate in but a small way
the crises that have confronted him,
the guestions of our own national safe
ty and integrity that have been his
to decide almost every week since Eu
rope became such an inferno.
All through his contest for reelec
tion we have seen the charges of his
enemies fall for lack of substantial
excuse and we have seen him come ouf
of it one of the greatest statesmen
;ihis country has ever had. He is n
god, but he nor any other human being
will ever be able to steer safely and
'.wisely to a better purpose than that
which has dominated his will through
his first administration. Historians
avill credit him with working honestly
faithfully and effectively to save this
country from what seemed on every
turn to become a conflagation into
which every world power must go.
The fates drove him nowhere. Bravely
and strongly he has remained at his
post, manifesting a wisdom that has
sbeen proven superior. He has been
‘a far-seeing statesman in the midst
‘of trials.
- His name will be on our ballot Tues
g.(]ay and we will be proud to vote this
time. That vote will be just one in
many millions and it will be case in
a state where democratic power will
:be undisputed, but it is going to be
just as strong an endorsement of the
democratic candidate as one voter can
make it.
Win or lose, that's our duty as we
see it.
PRICE OF LEADERSHIP.
In the smaller community we pay o
frightful price for leadership. We
glgarl,\' always forget the good motives
which prompt out first move and we
can, in our determination not to be
beaten, forget every good purpost
which adorned the banners of our or
ganizations and our ranks. Rivalries
become jealousies and as jealousies
all our movements appear sorry thing:
when we have somebody suddenly
halt us and put the yard stick of Chris
tianity on them.
Denominational jealousies are nol
the things to be permitted to make us
forget our high duty,—our mission ot
doing good in the churches. Rival
ries in our non-Christian organiza
tions, in our civie improvement plans
in our social efforts to advance are
not worthy of the place they have i
our deliberations when we plan to
beat our neighber at something he has
undertaken. To strike some good
move and block it because it is not
~ours.puts us in a pitiable plight.
It does not take great souls to com
mend instead of throttle. The citizen
who so forgets himself as to encour
age the habits of putting on the “bad
mouth” where‘ver he is not the origin
of an enterprise is the worst excuse
in all the world. Such a spirit with
1 good hold in a community can de
stroy every good move hefore it has
ime to bud.
But we are growing beyond the con
rol of such spirits. Good prevails
oo strongly. Enterprise is now more
wdmired and appreciated than ever.
‘ivic improvements have too often
.ome by the hand of those who love
o do good, for the evil minded to do
nuch harm.
What we need is a constant remin
ler that we are trying to help every
/here it is possible to do good, least
ve forget and allow ourselves to be
Mided by less noi)le motives, of jeal
,usies, of hatred, of base purposes.
If we are strongly dominated by a
yve of improvement in every civic en
erprise, in every church work, no
jatter whose it is, we will have no
ime to encourage jealousies. The
ight man to the wheel in such times
vill know his opportunity, will not
2l to make every turn count for the
jost. The good man builds on, great
1 soul, and untiring in effort. for good.
{is church, his community, are first,
ut his greatest hope is to advance
rem by making them real agencies
r good.
IMMEASURABLE WEALTH.
The Georgia State Fair is now open
| Macon. There has never been such
big attendance. The agricultural
ad stock raising possibilities of Geor
a were never better shown than in
1e exhibits this time. It is truly a
reater. state fair than Macon has
ver been able to get together, at least
1 the present generation.
Th visitor will not he able to see
all in a single day. Both farm pro
ucts and stock raising as displayed
t the fair this time indicate that pro
ress of a marked and most wonder
il character has taken hold of the
olds and farms of Georga. The whole
ir i§ oné huge testimonial Lo the in
dligent farming which is being done
y this state at the present time.
As compared with a fair of ten
ars ago, it is wonderful. The work
¢ the corn club boys and the canning
‘ub girls of Georgia alone has turned
1e county exhibits and the individual
xhibits in the fair into a veritable
ore house of products wheh portray
e wonderful possibilities of intelli
ent agricultural work in this state.
11 these exhibits but indicate also
iat we have gone thus for by train
1g and educating, not by plodding as
1 the years of a generation back. The
vir has also demonstrated the leaps
nd bounds that skilled farming is tak
1g in Georgia.
And stock raising this time is prov
-12 a more interesting department
han ever in the history of recent
lirs. The whole thing is a real show
{ astounding evidence of agricultural
rogress and live stock raising. The
sealth in our future farming and stock
aising must be immeasurable.
Depends On Farmer.
Farly county has made only forty
er cent. of a cotton crop this year
nder boll weevil conditions, says the
lews. “some farmers who planted
hirty acres will not get a bale!” Yet
n Decatur county, where a fight was
lade, over eighty per cent. of a crop

eporters. Which goes to prove that,

During this week we will have a special demonstrator from the Majestic Fac
tory to explain how the Majestic is made and why it is absolutely the hest
range; why it lasts longer and cuts down.repair expenses; why it bakes bread
evenly, top, sides and bottom with turning; why it uses so little fuel and
saves food waste. He will explain its labor saving construction and why it
heats an abundance of water good and hot—a mighty convenient and useful
thing to have a big supply of hot water always on hand, isn’t it?
To buy a range by mail is almost certain to end in disappointment and loss of
money. It may be ‘“exactly as represented” yet not be what you thcught it
was nor what you wanted.
Here you can sec every part of the Majestic—you can know what you are get
ting before you buy. Decide now that you will discontinue using that old, worn
out range. You will save money in fuel, repairs and cooking. Buy a Majestic
—the * range with 25 years' rcputation. The demonsirator will answv.cr any
questions relating to stoves.

HIGH COST OF DYING
ALSO BLAMED ON WAR
l New York, November 3.—The Euro
pean war is held responsible for the
{ increase in the cost of burial supplies
and a consequent advance announced
teday by undertakers for funeral serv
ices. Owing to the war, it was said,
“undertaking hardware”’—name plates
'and coffin handles—has risen in price
}from 20 to 40 per cent, due to the
‘t‘act. the supply men claim, that the
chemicals used to give the nickel ef
fect is not now being imported. It
-was estimated that even the cheapest
coffins cost $5 more than formerly.
Wholesale dealers in burial supplies
have notified undertakers throughout
the city of a general advance in the
trade. To’offset the advance the un
dertakers are considering the advisa
bility of entering upon a campaign in
favor of cremation. )
