Hon. Thomas E. Watson will
commence the publication of a
weekly newspaper in Augusta,
Ga., in the near future. Mr. W.
J. Henning, the editor of the
Augusta Tribune will be associate
editor, with Maj. C. E. McGreg¬
or as business manager. It goes

tion price of $1.00 per year. We
can furnish you the Advocate
Democrat and the Jeffersonian

The State Democratic Execu
tive Committee lias called a pri¬
mary to be held on Oct. J. in con¬
nection with the state election,
for nominating judges for the
court of appeals that will soon
be created, in case the amend¬
ment to the constitution to that
effect is ratified, which will very
likely be done. The same elec
tion managers are expected to
serve as managers for the pri¬
mary, but different boxes will be
provided in order to keep the
primary tickets separate from
the election tickets. Every
white Democrat who votes in the
election is entitled to vote for
three candidates for Judges of
the Court of Appeals.
The Atlanta Georgian is tak¬
ing a strong stand iu favor of
municipal ownership of public
utilities in the city of Atlanta,
Where the people do not get the
proper service at the hands of
those institutions or enterprises
that hold a public franchise on
the ground that the public will
be benefited thereby, as seems
to Le tiie case iu Atlanta, it
seems that the best way for the
public to proceed would be to
take away the franchise and
. . , -
ning machinery or^stabUsh otn
er such enterprises and institu
tions to be run by the public,
FOR THE PUBLIC. A public ser
vant that does not serve
public should not be allowed to
hold a xiublic franchise. The
city of Atlanta would have no
trouble in operating its own
street cars, lights, etc.—Atlanta
can do anything.
The Orphans’ Homes.
We wish to direct the attention
of our readers to the institutions
which have been established
throughout Georgia for the re¬
lief and care of the children of
the state who haye none to care
for them. There are fiye or six
of these institutions in the state
of Georgia, and each of them is
constantly in need of financial
help—-not because the money
they receive is wasted or misused
but because there are so many
children that need and deserve
their aid that with the room and
the funds on hand they simply
cannot care fqr all who apply
for ad mission . 1 xfula
- «mey are compelled to turn
many away that are sadly in
need of help. No one who is
familiar with the good work be¬
ing done by these institutions
cau deny that every cent put in¬
to their treasuries is well Bpent
or that every child they receive
is well cared for, both as to its
physical and moral welfare.
The homes of the state have
selected Saturday. Sept. 29th, as
Work Day for the orphans homes,
and request every one who feels
an interest iu the good work they
are doing to give the proceeds
of his laoor on this day, or its
equivalent, to one of the Homes.
Give to either oue you choose, as
they are ail in need of help.
The pastors of the local churches
or the editor of the Advocate
Democrat will be glad to give
auy information they can about
the Orphans’ Homes.
Mr. Bryan and Government
Ownership.
There has been much discus¬
sion since the return of Hon. W.
J. Bryan to this country about
his attitude toward the owner
j | ship of the railroads by the gov
ernment of the United States
There seems to be a wrong im
j pressiou on the minds of many
i u regard to Mr. Bryan’s position,
As the Advocate-Democrat un
demands it, Mr. Bryan is in fa
vor of government ownership,
land says it will eventually come,
j but thinks it would not be the
wisest thing to make that an is
^ ^ l u ^ sei ^ be ^use the people
j j ll ° tu> vot 10;ul > * or u - He be
j *' eves . government regulation
J of railroads first—to give this a
fair test—and if that will not
serve the purpose then govern¬
ment ownership should obtain.
v the
He says that this will be
ultimate outcome, showing that
he believes the government can
not satisfactorily regulate the
roads as long as they are owned
and operated by others. This,
as we understand it. is Mr. Bry¬
an's position—government regu¬
lation first, then if that does not
accomplish the desired end, gov¬
ernment ownership.
It might be best to try the reg¬
ulating plan first, especially
since the people of the country
do not seem to be quite ready
for the ownership idea, but to us
it seems that we cannot have a
satisfactory regulation until the
governme. owns and controls
the transr ^rtion facilities, and
that ther be no better time
than now to ~ let T the
, r
expediency f this course. A
vast majority of the people who
are thoroughly familiar with the
proposition are heartily in favor
of it. It would be a safe venture
to say that a very great majority
of those who are opposed to it
either are ignorant of the real
state of affairs and are misled
by the railroads and politicians,
or else have a selfish interest at
stake, either financially or po¬
litically, under the present ar‘
rangement. The former class
of course do not know that they
are being misled, and are honest
in their convictions, but the lat¬
ter class, because they do under¬
stand the situation so well, and
the state of affairs that would
obtain should the government
own and operate the railroads—
knowing that their interests
would be forfeited in order that
the interests of tne masses
might be advanced—ate doing
alt they can to make the people
believe that the change will not
be feasible, or to say the least,
not expedient.
One of the greatest objections
that is urged in opposition to
the government ownership idea
is that the railroads will become
a powerful political machine and
will control the government, or
at least be used by some political
partv to keep itself in power, i
Iu reply to this, it is difficult for
us to see how these corporations,
together with the other trusts,
(that should also be brought un¬
der vlol government control) could
influence the government more
against the masses of the people
in favor of the classes (them¬
selves and their colleagues) than
has been the case for years past.
The country has only made a
beginning towards throwing off
the bondage. Besides, there
is no reason why the rail¬
roads could not be managed
on the same plan as the postoffice
department. No ono can say
that this is a political machine—
in fact it is entirely separated
from politics by the civil service
method—and there is no reason
why the railroads could not be
managed the same way. Gov
eminent ownership in this in¬
stance has been a success, and
why should it not be with the
railroads?
The U. S. government will
have a great deal better chance
to control the railrords when it
owns them than it has now, and
some day—and that day is not
very far distant—the people
are going to control the govern¬
ment, and when that is done the
, ,
will control the railroads.
Mr. Bryan may be right when
he says we must try regulation
first, but to our mind he is more
nearly right when he says that
government ownership is the
right thing and that it will ulti¬
mately come. And the sooner it
comes the better it will be for
the government and for the
masses of the people.
If a Cow gave

mankind would have to
invent milk. Milk is Na¬
ture’s emulsion —butter
put in shape for diges¬

tremely nourishing, but
it has to be emulsified
before we can digest it.
Scott’s Emulsion
combines the best oil
with the valuable hypo
phosphites so that it is
easy to digest and does
far more good than the
oil aione could. That
makes Scott’s Emulsion

It is with a feeling of sadness
that we x-eport the death of Mrs.
W. R. Raid which occured at her
home in this place Thursday
night at 8.30 o’clock. She had
been ill for several months past,
but it was not until about a week

garded as serious Despite the
tender care and constant atten
tion of those who loved her best
the grim Messenger has called
her to her reward.
She was Miss Kate Gee before
her marriage many years ago to
Mr. W. R. Reid, and she leaves,
beside a host of other relatives
and friends, her husband and six
children who long for her and
mourn that she comes not again.
She was a true and affectionate
wife, a kind and loving mother
dJL.V4.CA and a UCVUhCU de voted and Oi faithful fri« ’
eredTa great l
but she has gained the goal
eternity.
The funeral will occur Satur¬
day morning at 9 o’clock from
the Baptist church at tnis place.
