ABOUT DISFRANCHISEMENT
And Upsets His Poor Old Father's Political Equili¬
brium and Good Temper.
The
this ana using bit of political cate¬
chism:
Tommy—“Pa, didn’t you say week
before last that you was mostly for
Hoke because he was going to dis¬
franchise the niggers?"
Pa—“Yes, that is exactly what I
said; and I meant it, too."
Tommy—“Pa, how is Hoke goiug
to disfranchise the niggers?”
Pa—“Why, he is gomg to pass a
law not letting them vote unless they
can read and write.”
Tommy—“Well, pa, what about
the white man that can’t read and
write?"
Pa—“O, Hoke will have the
grandpa clause put in, and that w ill
let most of them vote."
Tommy—“Well, pa, what about
them who can’t vote under the
grandpa law?"
p a —“O, Hoke says that the regis¬
trars will be white folks, and they
will take care of them.”
Tommy—“What does he mean by
that?"
Pa—“By what?”
Tommy—“By the ‘registrars who
will take care of them?’ ”
Pa—“What does he mean? You
little simlin head!—you <5au ask more
fool questions than 'Solomon could
answer."
Tommy—“Pa, didn’t that man
who stayed hereweek belore last say
he was from LouKsana, and that they
had the disfranchisement law there?
TWO IMPORTANT BILLS
PASSED BY SENATE
People to Elect Railroad Com¬
missioners—Long Lease
for State Road.
WILL AGREE ON WILLIAMS BILL
Representative Kelly, of Glascock,
Who Introduced Bill in House for
Election of Commissioner, Says He
Will Accept the Senate Bill.
Atlanta, Aug. 3.—The senate Thurs¬
day passed bills for the election of
railroad commissioners by the people
and for the lease of the Western and
Atlantic railroad for 60 years at $60,-
000 per month.
Senator Williams’ bill for the elec¬
tion of railroad commissioneiw by the
people was passed by a vote of 31 to
7. The senate immediately trans¬
mitted the bill to the house and the
latter body is expected to consider
and adopt It.
Representative Kelly, cif Glascock,
whose bill was passed by tfre house,
stated after the passage of the'Wil¬
liams’ bill that he would accept it.
His and the other are Identical. The
senate committee saw fit to favor
the Williams bill as a substitute for
the Kelly measure.
At the next gerenal election the
people will vote on some one to suc¬
ceed to the place to be made vacant
by the expiration of Hon. Joseph
Brown’s term. Mr. Brown refuses to
state whether he will be a candidate
for the office until the house has con¬
sidered It.
Those speaking in favor of the
measure were Senators it and, Steed
and Crum. There was tfo opposition.
When Senator Williams’ name was
reached on the roll, votes being re¬
corded, he said: “Fellow senators,
this is the happiest moment of my
life. I thank you for passing this
bill. Id my opinion this is the most
important piece of legislation done
session.”

he said.”
Tommy—“Pa, didn’t lie say it
mused lots of good land down there
to lay out because the nigger was go¬
ing to achdM to learn to read and
write so he could vote, and they
couldn’t get him to work?"
Pa—“(), yes, he said something
like that; but folks just talk anyway
these days."
Tommy—“Well, pa, if ft ain’t so,
why did they call for the white pri¬
mary down there the other day aud
say they wanted it like (leorgia has
got it? So it will keep the educated
negro out, too, and so the white man
can vote without having to get the
registrars ‘to takecareof him?’ ”
Pa—“Now, there you are with
more of your fool questions."
Tommy—“Pa, you know'what ma
told Mrs. Jones yesterday?"
Pa—“No; what did your ma tell
Mrs. Jones?”
Tommy—“Mrs. Jones said she
didn’t see how a Democrat c<mld be
for Hoke, and ma said she believed
you was tor Hoke just tecause Mr.
Watson said be for him."
Pa—“You get out of here, you lit¬
tle scamp; aud if I hear another word
from you, or your ma either, I will
make you remember It the longest
day you live. I can hardly keep my
hands off 1 a you. Go, 1 say!—go
right now!”
As Tommy went out at the door he
murmured to himself: “1 wonder
what made pa so mad?"
lantic committee amended the bTIl, by
striking out the 99 years and substi¬
tuting 60. This was done at the in¬
stance of Senator Hand.
Senators Miller and Bond matte ar¬
guments against the bill as amended.
The former contended that It should
not be leased for more than 30 years
and at a minimum of $80,000 per
month. This he presented as an
amendment, but ft was* voted down.
He then showed that according to
the reports of the present lessees, In
1881 the gross income per mile was
$7,000, later $12,000, and In 1905 was
$19,000.
The only other matter c’f special
Importance was enactment of an
amended measure by Representative
Calloway, allowing all confederate
veterans and their widows pensions,
conditions notwithstanding.
By an overwhelming vote of 119
to 2 the house of representatives pass¬
ed a bill to regulate the running of
all automobiles aud other similarly
propelled vehicle® upon the public
hignways of the state.
Briefly summed up, the substitute
of Mr. Felder, of Bibb, which was
passed, conforms to th elaw of most
of the northern states, modifying the
original bill by Mr. Lumpkin, of Walk¬
er, who spoke in behalf of the adop¬
tion of the substitute.
For a time at least, the house Will
hold no afternoon sessions, the resolu¬
tion of Mr. Calvin, of Ricbmoi.*, to
limit daily sessions of the house from
9 o'clock in the morning to 1:30
o’clock in the afternoon, prevailing.
This resolution prevailed, also the pro¬
vision limiting debate on the final
passage of any measure to one hour,
individual speeches being limited to
10 minutes. This will expedite bus¬
iness.

One good tailored suit, spring and

a rainy day skirt and coat for bad

The above may seem like a modest
wardrobe, but for the woman who is In
business to win aud who hasn’t much
time to fool over clothes it may be
taken as a safe guide.—Chicago News.
The bill provides that commission¬
ers shall be elected by the electors
who are entitled to vote for members
of the general assembly. Successors
to the incumbents shall be elected at
first general election preceding ex¬
piration of their term of office. That
is, at the general election in Octo¬
ber, 1906, one shall bo elected to suc¬
ceed the incumbent whose term ex¬
pires October 15, 1907; one shall be
chosen at the general election tn 1908
to succeed the them incumbent, whose
term shall expire In 1909; one shall
be chosen In 1910 to succeed the then
Incumbent, whose term expires in 1911
and so on.
Election of such shall be governed
by the game rules and regulations ap¬
plying to the gubernatorial election.
In case of a vacancy It shall be filled

Georgia Black Tails Negroes to Let
White* Alone.
Washington. Aug. 3.—Before the Ne¬
gro Young People's Educational Con¬
gress, A. J. Cobb, of Bartlesville, G»„
In an address, said:
“You negroes in the north let the
southern negro alone. He can take
care of himself. He is a friend of
the white man, and the white man la
a friend of his. You discuss racial
problems, never forgetting to bring
the while man in. Let him alone.
Stop antagonizing him and mind my
words, he’ll be your friend. Why,
down south I have actually forgotten
that 1 was a black man until 1 looked
into the lookingglass.”
Rev. H. H. Proctor, of Atlanta, dis¬
cussed “Whai Can Be Done To Erad¬
icate Prejudice,’’ and said:
“My advice to my race is, save, ac¬
cumulate, buy property; gold alone
will open to us the portals of equal
opportunity."

the government printing who was sus¬
pended by the public printer on July

CENTRAL RAILROAD MEN
OUT ON STRIKE IN MACON
United Brotherhood of Car Men Enter Complaint*
Against the Company.
The carpenters and car inspector*,
with a small number of the round
house men, drift men and painters of
the Central of Georgia fty., went on
a strike in Macon at 10 o'clock Thurs¬
day morning, The strikers number¬
ed alkiut 126 and they give as the
cause of the strike the refusal of the
company to grant them certain de¬
mands, which they thiuk just.
The car men of the road in Atlanta,
Columbus and Chattanooga, Tennes¬
see, numbering about 300, are also ef¬
fected.
It Is widely rumored that the strike
is liable to spread to the engineers
and machinists of the road, which
would precipitate a heated and costly
war between labor and capital. The
cars must be Inspected by competent
labor to meet the requirements of the
law, and it is stated that if “scab" la¬
bor is employed for the purpose, the
engineers will refuse to take out the
trains.
(Iffleers of the company, however,
a;q>ear to anticipate no trouble with
the engineers and machinists of the
read. In any event the strike will
soon become interesting unless a rem¬
edy is applied.
The complaints of the strikers fol¬
low:

Result of Cotton Association
Investigation. --fr
FINDING DELIVERED TO JORDAN
The Committee. Condemn* Secretary
Cheatham and Manager Fairchild in
Strong Terms—Committeeman Sey¬
mour Makes a Few Remarks.
Atlanta, Aug. 3.—The committee of
the Southern Cotton association ap¬
pointed to investigate charges against
officers of the association made its
finding Thursday and submitted it to
President Harvte Jordan, who will lay
it before the executive committee of
the national association at an early
a day as possible.
The finding of the special commit¬
tee strongly condemns the act of Sec¬
retary Richard Cheatham in speculat¬
ing, even if It was for another per¬
son, as Mr. Cheatham contended.
It also states that tt can find no rea¬
sonable excuse for Mr. Cheatham
using the word "secretary” in signing
Individual checks, as he did when
making payments to the bucket shops.
This, tt is stated, meets with the
strongest condemnation by thq. com¬
mittee.
The same findings are made in ref¬
erence to A. A, Fairchild, manager
of the publicity bureau, who admitted
that he owned stock In a bucket shot.
The committee made no recommen¬
dation, believing that, a simple finding
was all that was within its power.
The committee took occasion to say
a word about what they believed to
have been the motives that inspired
the charges ami they also had some¬
thing to say about the "prosecution”
and about bucket shops in general.
By ali who heard the investigation
It Is believed the committee held a
full, fair and Impartial trial, secur¬

First. The carmen of the B. B. C.
of A. have useti all honorable means
to bring about a satisfactory adjust¬
ment of a scale of wages and have
failed. And we feel we have a just
grievance in being discriminated
against by the company persisting in
placing a man in charge as chief car
inspector at Columbus, Ga., who has
never inspected a train, over men who
have been in the service of the com¬
pany for nine to twelve years as in¬
spectors, thus endangering tlie lives of
the traveling public.
Second. Because we have been
discriminated against by the company
granting unskilled labor, the colored
man, a general increase of 16 cents
|K>r day and haye positively refused
to grant a general increase of 10 cents
per day to skilled labor, the white
man.
For the above reasons we re-
spectftilly ask the moral support of ail
labor organization* and the general
public at large.
Tijis complaint is signed by tbe of¬
ficers ol the B. ft. C. of A.
A strike of tlie engineers and other
trainmen of tlie Chattanooga division
of the Central fty. would create
trouble, as there are hardly men
enough at present to run the trains.
hOd cTFcilihted reporta Tract ware
based only on hearsay evidence were
summoned and forced to admit that
they knew nothing.
Both prosecution and defense were
given a full and free opportunity to
introduce any witnesses they wanted
The only member of the committee
who would have anything to say
about the investigation after it was
over was Mr. Seymour, who had been
chosen as secretary, and who sent out
copies of the finding. Mr. Seyffiour
said:
"Our committee, r believe, has gone
over the matter fully and carefully
and our verdict Is a right and proper
one. We took care to have it ap¬
pear that Representative Ander¬
son was the prosecutor. We also
said Something about bucket shops,
and why the charges against OB offi¬
cers came to light just at this time.
We have sent our finding to the pres¬
ident, and he will lay it before onr
national executive committee."
