The Columbia State sizes it up in
this way; “Several Washington
norreepondente and Southern news
papers have expressed surprise and
indignation because two or three
more or less respectable and more
ar less prominen 4 negro men and
women were discovered at a white
house reception last week. This

some things, he may change others,
but when it comes to meeting the
negro as a political and a social
equal he takes his stand witti a
firmness that does not manifest
itself when he approaches any other
issue."
THE GROWING SOUTH
The Columbia State is right
when it says that there are no bet
ter business opportunities in the
country today than those which
embody the lands and resources of
the South. With properties selling
at from |5 to 125 per acre, there
are opportunities for all to secure
homes at a minimum of cost, both
in money and labor. So many
avenues are open to the agricultur
ist that a widely diversified farm
ing can be carried on and many,
not one line, can bo followed to
profit and comfort. The orchard,
the dairy, tbo truck interest, the
stock industry, she cereals, the cot
ton plant, the sugar cine crops, all
pay tribute to the Southern farmer
and make his the beet field of labor
in all this broad country. The
splendid conditions of comfortable
living are combined with the favor
able oppor' unities in practical af
fairs, as nowhere else, are found
the pleasantness of life and profit
of effort.
The development of manufactur
ing interests and the wonderful
resources with which nature has so
riohly endowed the South is a
stimulus to agricultural prosperity.
It gives an unequalled home mar
ket, a demand for products almost
at the farm gate, a source of in
come at hand. It is a valuable ally
to the farmer, one which will en
hance the value of his home while
enriching his bank account,
The South is growing. It com
mands the attention of the fiaan
o al, the industrial, tho agricultural
factors It has rare premise of
splendid growth and magnificent
achievement. It is well to be a part
of it and to participate in its tplun
did triumphs.
COMING SOUTH-
It is probable that in a very short
time there will be an organized ef
fort made on the part of the land
and passenger departments of the
various railroads in the Southeast
ern lines to induce immigration in
this section of the country.
For some years this plan has been
pursued by the lines in the South
west and with the most satisfactory
results, the tide of immigration set
tling that way most heavily. The
lines comprising the Southeastern
Passenger Association have met and
year after year have made low rates
for this class of possible travelers,
but the results have been unsatis
factory in the main.
At their meeting in New Orleans
this week the matser was again
taken up and they have suggested
that the land agents of the various
lines get together and see if they
cannot suggest some plan which
will be more effective than the
methods which have heretofore
been tried.
“What would you think of a
merchant who had a stock of at
tractive goods but refused to show
them to tho public? Then what
about a Si.ite with unparalled re
sources needing development that
neglects to take advantage of ths
opportunity afforded by the
World’s Fair to attract capital and
immigration?" These pertinent
and timely questions are pro
pounded by the Birmingham News
to A’abamians, but they apply with
as much force to the situation in
Georgia as to that in Alabama.

“If President Roosevelt would
pay less attention to his negro pets

fair name, of the nation that

Georgia Suffrage Tax
New York Snn.
Georgia adopted many years ago
i- own method of political dis rao
cbisemcnt for its large colored pop
ulation It res irted to no ambigu
ous and discriminating constitution
al amendments ; it employed no
“grandfather clause ;" it set up no
misleading educational test as a bar
to suffrage: it established no com
plicateu system of registration, » It
merely provided that every citizen
of the Cracker State, otherwise
qualified, could vote, provided that
he had paid continuously since 1877
the prescribed poll tax falling on
all citizens alike, white and black,
rich and poor, city residents and
farmers.
Under this provision the vote of
Georgia, one of the most populous,
as it is one of the richest, of the
States of the South, baibeen slowly
declining, while the number of in
habitants increases, wits the result
that there is almost sutomatically
a steady sifting of the electorate.
The number of colored delinquents
in the payment of the poll tax is, of
course, much larger than the num
ber of white citizens unable to meet
each year its modest requirement.
Those colored citizens who are
able and willing to pay it retain un
hampered their right to vote, but
the primary election system of
Georgia, under which white men
only can participate in the nomina
tions of the dominant Democratic
party, deprives practically tho col
ored voters of Georgia of any voice
in the choice of candidates.
Teiough the Georgia plain has
great simplicity to commend it, it
has not been followed by other
Southern states confronted with
the same electoral problem of limit
ing the suffrage. Other States have
adopted mors complicated methods.
At the recent election, however,
the voters of Texas, a larger, more
Democratic State than Georgia,
adopted by & substantial majority
an amendment to their constitution
providing that hereafter the pay
ment, before February 1 in each
year, of a poll tax of of SI 50 is a
pre-requisi te to voting in November.
Texas, therefore, in the language of
the Panhandle, may be said to “see
Georgia and go one better," tor the
Texas system not only restricts the
vote of the State, especially the ne
gro vote, but by fixing February 1
as the date of payment, it excludes
transients and wandering voters.
In Georgia there is a large class
of white voters who are indigent,
or nearly so. They are mostly in
the north of the State, and were
known before the civil war as white
trash. Georgia has made in its
election law no exemptions for
them as other Southern States
have done. Texas has no large
white trash population, but it bas
many Spanish-speaking residents to
whom |1 50, paid as a tax, is a large
sum.

Improvements costing about half a

That was last August. She moved

Paine’s Celery
Compound
Quickly Elevates the Constitutional
Condition of all Rundown and
Sick People.
In the winter season, when many
people, especially women and children,
are confined in close and stuffy apart- <
inents which lack proper ventilating
facilities, the blood becomes watery,
pale, sluggish and impure: the nervous
system is impaired, the brain is tired,
insomnia begins its terrible work, ana
a general collapse of the whole system
ensues.
Our object at this time is to suggest
the true means of succor aud help for
pale, languid, nervous, irritable and
weakened women and children. Thous
ands of such nerveless and frai 1 vic
tims will soon be cut down if help is
delayed and time lost.
Paine’s Celery Compound is the life
line—the sure and tried anchor of hope
that all may lay hold of it with a cer
tainty of new life and vigorous health.
Paine’s Celery Compound is doing the
same Heaven-blessed work today for
sufferers that it has so well done in the
past. It quickly furnishes that new,
pure and fresh blood which is the foun
dation of true health ; it promotes cell
growth, builds up flesh, bone and tis
sue, and. elevates the constitutional
condition of every sick person, and de
fends them from germ and bacterial
dangers. Try Paine’s Celery Com
pound, dear reader, and your efforts
will be fully and happily rewarded.
