Alluding to the faettthat the presi
dent said that he could have carried
Georgia had he i>een a candidate this
year, the Norfolk ledger-Dispatch
thinks that he talks like Norman
Mack.
‘•lf I had been a candidate this time
I would have carried Georgia,” is a
remark attributed to President Roose
velt. ‘‘The president la not given to
hallucinations in politics, and his
ability to break precedents is conceded.
But is he quite sure about Georgia ?”
asks the Washington Post.
The Albany Herald says: “These
are indeed dry times down here in
Southwest Georgia. There is very lit
tle water In the country. The ponds
are going dry, and the running streams
are down to the low water mark.”
This la the first time in a long time
that Editor Mclntosh, when he referred
to his section, failed tos|>eak of It as
••Down here in Gori's country”; which
shows that double may lurk unbe
knownst l>ack in the minds of the
most faithful.
The Philadelphia Record states the
situation with reference to the tariff ,
pretty fairly in this: “The fact that
an occasional fruit grower makes a trip ,
to Washington to plead for protection |
against the ‘pauper’ oranges of the ,
West Indies, or that an Alabama cot- |
ton manufacturer wants a higher tariff
on cotton fabrics, Is no sign of the (
sentiment of the South. This is best j
seen in the elections. On the other
hand, the Pennsylvania and N#w Jer
sey majorities for Taft show plainly f
dough that the people of those States ,
want the tariff let alone.” I
ROOSEVELT AND HEARST-
The paper* of the country, whether
Republican or Democratic, are rather
bothered alxxit Randolph Hearst’s
* 'social call” on the president.
They cannot understand how Mr.
Roosevelt, after causing the Yellow
Journalist to be accused of being at
least partly responsible for President
McKinley’s death, could privately
receive the selfsame person. They
are completely at a loss to explain the
consistency of su<*h condnct.
Says the Sandusky Register :
“In the ordinary affairs of life,
when oue public man charges another
with a monstrous crime, It is not at
all likely that the man who makes
the charge would ever take the vic
tim of his wrath to his bosom and
make him his confident, but Roose
velt Is built on an entirely different
plan from other people. What to
other men is the law of decency and
morality is to him of no account.”
To which the Macon News adds :
“Mr. Roosevelt is a law unto him
eelf. He is a president unto himself.
He is a politician unto himself.
“When it was, for political reasons,
necessary to attack Mr. Hearst, mul
titudinous was the ocean of vitupera
tion which he poured out.
“When Mr. Hearst was generous
enough to help elect the Republican
candidate, Mr. Roosevelt did not fail
to let his countenance shine upon the
newly acquired worker for the cause.
“ ‘The law of morality and de
cency’ is of as little moment to Teddy
as are to him the laws of the land,
the constitution, the dignity of his
position, the demands of consistency
and sincerity.
“The president, to our mind, is a
fickle, strutting, ‘grandstand’ play
er.”
All of which is true, but in spite of
increasing illustrations all along the
same line, is not new. The News
and Sun said it and said it long ago,
and history, it ever fairly written ot
these times, will repeat it even after
the News and Sun is dead.

SOMI NBWSPAPKR IXFMSSIGNS ON
ATLANTA’S FUTOIALTY SACK.
The News and Sun has received a
communication from a Maddox com
mittee aaklng for some expression
from the leading papers oi Georgia
In regard to the mayoralty race in
Atlunta; so that the citizens of Its
capital city might kaow what the
rest of the State thought and felt In
regard to that all-absorbing issue.
We have not felt mightily impelled
to take any side In this matter,which
is by no means so one-sided as our
Maddox friends seem to think; and
that our brethren of the State press
feel much the same way may bet In
ferred from the fact that in none of
the dally papers of Atlanta, all three
of which are violently opposing
Woodward—without any apparent
detriment to his cause—have we seen
any big bunch of extracts from us
outsiders.
But as many of opr subscribers are
Interested in this race, most of them
as innocent by-standera and quite a
number as citizens of Atlanta, we
take pleasure in publishing such ex
tracts as we have come across, since
the Atlanta scissors editors are neg
lecting their duty, as follows—giving
first the attitude of the Atlanta Inde
pendent, a prominent negro publica
tion also supporting Maddox, which
list week {contained fourteen edito
rials and paragraphs, covering prac
tically the whole editorial page, in
which the negroes, al out 2,000 of
whom are registered, are urged that:
Break Up the White Primary.
“A vote for Bob Maddox is a vote
against the white primary, and if there
is any infamy hr menace to decent
government in this community, it is
the white primary. ” Continuing, the
negro paper says: “Between Mr.
Woodward and Mr. Maddox it is gen
erally conceded that Mr. Woodward
would make the city the liest mayor,
but the negro will fare as well under
one as under the other, and the thing
for us to do is to take the position
which will contribute most to the dis
ruption of the Democratic party, it
is our duty, as we see it, to assist any
class of men who rise to repudiate gov
ernment by race prejudice.”
Give a Good Citizen a chance.
Macon Telegraph: “There may be
no hope ror, and no defense of, the
■teaoy, daily, perpetual ‘soak,’ but
there is hope and lots of it for the man
who stays sober and makes a good cit
izen for a year or more at a time, and
falls only occasionally and gets on his
feet again.
“Waiving the question of party obli
gation pledged by the primary—waiv
ing the negro issue which injected it
pelf as a matter of course—it seems to
us that the penitent man deserves com
passionate consideration before he is
sent to the liottom with a last crushing
blow.”
That Atlanta Spirit.
The Lincoln Journal asks, inno
cently: “Was it the Atlanta spirit
which pushed Jim Woodward off the
water wagon ? ”
Who Put on the Padlock ?
Macon News: “Homebody has put
a padlock on Dr. I<en G. Broughton
' with regard io the mayoralty matter.”
Does He Need Such Aid?
Albany Herald: “Mr. Woodward is
lighting his battle without the aid of h
newspaper.”
Here is a Straight Tip
Augusta Chronicle—“ Talking It
Over” Column: “Oh, ho! ‘Jim’
Woodward’s latest is awful.
“This is about how it was: The
Constitution, the Georgian and Jour
nal made up their minds to beat him
for mayor, because he got on a plain
drunk, notwithstanding he was the
white primary nominee. They did
, not hop on him—not nt alljjust ignored
him. Then he withdrew from the
race.
“Magnanimous num ! How patri
otic ! How good of i him to come down !
Fine fellow. All three of the big dai
lies patted him on the back—wrote fine
tributes to him. Grand man. Wor
thy of all commendation.
“These were the first kind words he
had gotton from them. And the
ink was not dry on the papers that so
cordially eulogized him before he was
back in the race again.
’ “He has ’em. They can’t go back on
their printed words. They have said
Jim Woodward iso. k.
“There is a straight tip that be is
sure to tiefeat all primary jumping
candidates.”
Has to Steer a Middle Course.
V> aycroas Herald : "The editor of !
the Herald goes to Atlanta sometimes
and for fear of an accident we always I
like to l>e on the good side of the mayor 1
of that city. In the rucus l>etween
Woodward and Maddox, however, we
are at a loss which cause to espouse to 1
be on the winning side.’’
Will Soon See.
Albany Herald : "The balance of
the State will soon see how much in- ‘
fluence the Atlanta newspapers exes
eise in politics in Atlanta. All three
f of the dally papers are supporting
Maddox and knocking Jim Weod
t ward."
Almost, Bat Not Quite.
Jonesboro Enterprise : ' “Jim Wood
-1 ward almost redeemed himself in tho
* public’s resjiect by withdrawing from
u the race for mayor of Atlanta, thereby
m demonstrating in a most agreeable
e manner that Iris recent disgraceful
a conduct did not deprive him of every
sesltge of decency. Now let him curb
i his political ambitions and set aixiut
t cultivating qualities of morality and
uprightness.”
r
I Wanted to Get in Limelight.
8 Americus Times-Recorder: “We
are inclined to suspect that Atlanta got
' up her political row in order to get on
‘ the map again. Hhehas i«en decidedly
e out of the public sight for some time.”
Is Atlanta’s Business.
I Athens Banner: “The Atlanta
II would feel rather bad
” should Jim Woodward be elected
mayor of Atlanta after all the fuss
e they have kicked up about him. The
a old fellow is a shrewd politician, and
a will make the opposition hustle. At
e the same time there is a general feel.
. ing that he should not be elected, but
e that is Atlanta’s business. The people
of that city ought to be able to take
care of themselves.”
£
Facts as They Exist.
Thomaston Times: “Last week the
Times asserted that ‘right or wrong,
I Jim Woodward would be mayor of
Atlanta.’
' “Since that assertion many political
II turns have been made in the affairs of
f Atlanta. Mr. i Wood ward resigned,
: having his resignation read before the
Maddox meeting, then according to
the Atlanta dailies, al! was calm and
e serene, as Bill used to say. But not
e so. Any one on the ground would
1 have been dull and shortsighted not
s to have observed the strength of the
c undercurrent. It is ttie undercurrent
• that downs the unsuspecting, when
- bathing in the surf; so will be the po
’ iitical undercurrent that will sound
> the death knell of Mr. Maddox, Jr.,
r for mayor of Atlanta.
I “The mayor’s race of Atlanta has
1 aroused tlie whole State, only as a
' governor’s race might. The people
t have lined up in their opinions, not
’ withstanding the fact that the affair
’ belongs only to Atlanta, but Atlanta’s
affairs are always interesting. The
discussion of the race by this pa]ier
does not mean that it takes position
’ one way, but merely a discussion of
facts as they exist.
“Wednesday night a great body of
people en imasse demanded of Mr.
Woodward that he again enter the
race. He agreed to do so and amidst
the applause of thousands. Will he
win in spite of the well organized op
position? The Times stands by its as
sertion that he will, >yet surprises are
happening every day.
“We again asseit that ‘right or
wiong, Woodward will lie Atlanta’s
next mayor.’ ”
Not So Sure About It.
Augusta Herald : “Jim Woodward
may i>e beaten in the mayoralty race
in Atlanta, but those who are behind
his opponent don’t act like they feel
sure of it.”
A Serious Symptom.
Augusta Chronicle: “A prolonged
and iintermittent attack of the Wood
ward seems to hold Atlanta in its grip.
A relapse after a crisis is a serious
symptom.”
Latest: He Wouldn’t Stay Down.
Quitman Advertiser: “Things are
beginning to look blue for Janies G.
Woodward, Atlanta’s nominee for
mayor. The leading people there have
nominated Robert F. Maddox, the
well known banker, for mayor and
propose to run him independent. They
lay aside all precedent and say that the
question of morality is of sufficient
weight to overbalance the primary ob
ligation. Maybe they down ‘Uncle
Jimmy’ and maybe they don’t. Later:
They did.”
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the eus
tachian tuije. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the inliamation can be tafcen
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur-.
faces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

' LAZIEST MAN IN
TARHEEL STATE
Too Lazy to Do a Great Many Com
mon Thing*.
When C. C. Moore, president of the
Cotton Association of North Carolina
made his address in Spartanburg, he
told about the laziest man in the State.
He was a cotton farmer. He believed
in cotton and planted littie else. He
kept getting poorer and poorer. The
cotton crop got lighter and lighter.
Instead of making both ends meet at
the end of the year he had no ends to
tying together and no means to fasten
them. His children had scanty clothes.
There were no books and papers and
no time to go to school. As he got
poorer he got lazier and he soon got so
lazy that he quit planting cotton and
tried home supplies. Mr. Moore said
that he visited him at his home and
took dinner with him, several years
after he quit cotton. Strange to say,
this lazy man had a well furnisher!
house, neatly dressed children, an ele
gant dining room and a dinner that was
not to be forgotten, nearly all of which
was produced on the farm. After din
ner be walked out to the barn, and
there he saw more signs of the man’s
laziness. He had a splendid barn and
fine stock, but he was actually too lazy
to open the doors of the stalls and
water his animals. He had a watering
fountain in every stall. All he had to
do was to turn a spigot when the foun
tain was empty. He was too lazy to
throw hay and fodder from the loft and
distribute it in the stalls. He made a
sort of a funnel out of strong fencing
wire in a corner of every stall and the
lazy fellow would chuck in a hundred
or more pounds of hay and the horse
could eat as long as it lasted. None
would be wasted. When he raised
nothing but cotton lie would slip oflTto
the creek Saturday afternoon and wash
the dust and dirt off on the bank. He
had only a few towels then. But he
had become entirely too lazy to go to
the creek to wash. He just walked
into a bath room and turned on hot or
cold water as he desired and got into a
porcelain tub. He then had two
towels to dry his body instead of none
as in the old cotton days. The lazy
fellow had also put water in the
kitchen so that wife and daughters did
not have to go to the well, or throw
waste water out of the window. He
was a very lazy man, indeed, and
wished to save steps and to take all
the burdens off his wife and daughters.
He was too lazy to teach his children,
so he supplied them with books and
magazines and sent his daughters to
college in Charlotte and his boys to
other schools and colleges. Such is
the sketch of Mr. Moore’s laziest man.
How many such lazy men have we in
this country? It would be well if
they could be counted by the hundred.

Buying Those Presents.
No one will see any fresher wares
or newer styles by putting off his
shopping till the last day. The early
shopper, gets the choicest of the
stock.—[Washington Herald.
These be [alluring words, but true,
adds the New York Herald. They
assume that we are going to buy
Christmas presents this year as usual,
and that is well. They enjoin the j
speedy choice, and that is common
sense. Act now and thereby save
your own temper a strain, while giv
ing the shop-keeper relief.
