Preaching But Not Practicing.
The Elks’ order has a beautiful and
inspiring motto, "The faults of our
brothers we write upon the sand, their
virtues upon the tablets of love and
memory.” Most of us are prone to
remember the faults and forget the
virtues of our friends and ft Howman.

Georgia newspapers, in common
with those of many other states, have
felt the effects of war increased so
heavily that recently they have been
compelled to institute a new schedule
of rates, both for subscriptions and
advertising. The greatly increased
cost of paper, ink, linotype machines,
labor and the necessity for much
greater telegraph tolls because ,-f the
vital character of the . war news
Which must tie carried in full .'.-tail,
have contributed to the higher cost of
production for the newspapers: and.
in many instances, the -mailer have
been unable to stand the t r.en.

\\ \ I SON IS REPI DI \ TED.
Ending his contest in the congn '
sional race in the Tenth d: tri<-t,
I Thomas E. Wat-on, through his at
torney, withdrew Ins app> d pending
before the State Democratic conven
tion in Macon Thursday, anil the "Sage
of .McDuffie" died an unsung death in
this Stati . Repudiated with i i --cs for
to r>-pr< imtatr. e on the floor of the
convention; cheers swelling to
,rills when he was characterized a- ..
;"miserabh creature" by a venerable;
jurist, Watson ha- <<a. i d to be a
! political factor. Ignominiously was
hi.i defeat written throughout tie en
| tire proceedings of the convention, ac-
I cording to the newspapers.
'lla Macon Telegraph, speaking of
the Watson appeal, said Frida.’, :
The lesson of the Democratic con
vention yesterday stands out. with all
the solemn clearness of the arresting
handwriting across the Babylonian
wall. Thomas E. Watson, because of
his attitude since his country has been
at war, is such a stench in the nos-;
trils of decent, intelligent and loyally,
American Georgians that in the light
of day men dare not vouch him the j
nominal standing involved in the ap- j
pearance of a hearing, even if theyi
would. The moment the Burwell reso
i
lution, denying him the dignity of
even a possibly cynical consideration
'of his insolent attempt to invade the
State party oranization as a figure
I with claim to rightful place in it, was
waved before the convention when the j
Democrat from Hancock instantly,
caught the significance of the rules
commmittee report which would have
automatically welcomed Watson into
the councils of the State party, there '
was no doubt about the temper of the.
convention on any open issue where
Watson was involved. They would not.
or they dared not, as you will, go back
home and have it said they were a
party to even the color of recognition 1
of this man. And surely Watson |
could not. have hoped for a Democratic
convention that in its make up might ,
have held out as much hope for con- ;
ciiiatory consideration of him as that
; one; it was practically the same eon-,
. j vention in personnel that sat two!
, i years ago.
The great strength of the unwaver-I
, ing, uncompromising Tenth district I
'Democrats in their determination tdiat 1
I I Watson's m,'dinging in that district '
should not be given the dignilication I
of even consideration bv the State .
i
body was that they insisted from the 1
first the issue as to Watson should be;
in the open. They refused any color
’of a eompromisi wherein, their org
