Vernon, Georgia, Thursday Morning, June 28, 1906. 1 . The trouble with the average political reformer is that ho never barks on n truil that hnsen’t got a good fat office at the end of it. It ts evident that David C. Har row deserved the place of chancel lor of the State University, and j won it fairly by long and faithful aervice. We have far more faith in the school teachers of Georgia as a moans of saving the state t han in all the political muck rakers com bined. Col. J. H. Estill, the South- Georgm candidate for governor, has never stood before a Georgia audience and asked to bo elected governor upon the bare plea that hiH competitors are all scoundrels. Our sympathies I >re with the Georgia legislators. Partly be cause of the hot weather, and partly because they are doomed to a lot of curses from those who think they know how to run the machine. Sooner or later the people wil 1 grow tired of the brazen off'rontery of cheap politicians who make as sert ions t hat are barefaced false hoods, in the hope that they will not be disproved until after their dirty purposes are accomplished. HOll. W. It. Merritt lias made a good record as state school com missioner, and Muck Wraker Johnson will have to tell South- Goorgiu people a few things that the public records do not prove false before lie gets Merritt's place. There ought to be a law, writ ten in the heart of oyery honest man, that no candidate, who has no other oxcus> for asking for office tliau his ability to decry and abuse the incumbent lie seeks to displace, should over have a sin gle vote. If Oglethorpe could roturn to earth and visit the colony he planted here, and hear a little of the vituperation being worked in the present gubernatorial campaign, it is quite probable that lie would repent of having stopped over here. If some of the yearning retorm ers in Georgia who want a real live issue will study the tax books of any of the counties in the state, ami see the outrage which lias continued for years against those who return their property at its real value, they will have some thing to harp on—luit not to pull votes with. Georgia is sadly afflicted just now with a race of office-seekers upon whose cheeks a whole moun tain of red paint could not raise a blush. They make assertions that are often disproved directly by the public records before they get in print. They fish for suck ers ujH>n tho theory that one caught compensates for all the time they lose in angling for those who are well informed. We look for Old Nick to an nounce lor some of the high offi ces in Georgia between now and the primary on August 22nd. But we have no idea that he will display as much cheek as Vince T. Sanford, who seeks to get his announcement before the people for comptroller general by having it published “as news” by the country press. That Floyd coun ty jury which saved Vince’s neck some months ago may have done right, but we are beginning to grow suspicious. 1 ■ ii ' ' ■■■" ■» "■ ———————— DON’T GET CAUGHT ON TAX DIVISION. Mark Johnson’s proposition to divide the state school apportion- j ment between the whites and J blacks according to the tax paid j i by each race is liable to deceive i some people who are not informed. ; In Mont gomtry county, and sev eral ot her South Georgia counties, j j twice ns much, and often more, j comes into the school fund by reason of the negro school popu lation ns is paid out to them. In Dougherty county magnifi cent schools are kept up nine months in the year for white children, because of the large ap portionment drawn from the state !by reason of tho large negro popu | latum. Better confer with your county school commissioner and knuw wlnit you are doing before you I vote. ATLANTA METHOD HELPING ESTILL That the campaign waged by the Atlanta candidates for Governor is hurt ing not only t he Democrat ic party, but the state as well, and is disgusting to the thinking peo ple of Georgia, is tho opinion of Dr. K. A. Tigner, of M illedgeville, who is 111 Savannah attending the sessions of the Georgia State Den tal Association. “The people of Milledgeville and Baldwin enmity have always taken a great interest instate af fairs.” said Dr. Tigner last, night in discussing the present cam paign. “Tho fact that the Capi tal of Georgia was for a long time situated there and that it is at present the home ot so many of the state’s large institutions accounts largely for the interest our people feel in state affairs. “The present campaign is being followed closely by tho people of Baldwin county and they are reading everything that is printed on the subject. It is being dis cussed ami 011 all sides you, can hear expressions of almost disgust! because of the unbridled methods used by the Atlanta papers in the interest of t heir candidates. Our people regret that this condition j j of politics has come into Georgia,! | a time w hen such tactics are so 1 uncalled for; just when our peo ple were recovering from the split and division that brought the I People's l’arty into Georgia “The tight between the Atlanta candidates has been so sharp and has gone to such extremes that j tjiev seem to have forgotten citi-1 zens and party propriety, and have only themselves in mind.; I Sueli campaigning, so full of do-1 | uuuciations and personal abuse, is canting disruptions; opening! old political sores: working injury to the Democratic party, and the entire state. Many of our best 1 citizens who feel this wav were greatly pleased by tho address of the South Georgia candidate, tle livered in Miliedgeville some time ago, and we are for him for Gov ernor. “Kstill men are many and out spoken 111 Baldw in county and are being born every day. Mil ledge ville being middle ground will take South Georgia’s candidate, if we think lie is the best man. And we believe Col. Kstill is the best man in the race and lie will carry Baldw in county in tho com ing primary."—Morning News. TEACHERS EXAMINATION.

C. t THE M<INTGOMFRY MONITOR— 1 1 lIURSDAY, JUNE 28, 190 C. 1 ST ATI; PRESS COMMENTS £ Americus Times Recorder: — Veterans of the civil war are j dying now at the dying now at the rate of 100 a day according to the records of the pension office.; The monthly reports for several months show the death rate among the old soldiers to be 8,000 a month. Tattnall Journal: —The Rawl ings case will now go over until next winter. In the meanwhile it is expected that old man Rawl ings will announce for some nice fat office and get elected as being the greatest hero South Georgia has ever produced. Macon Telegraph :—Alexander Berkman will underake in his book. “To Hell and back,” to tell what anarchy really means. We can well understand the ap plication of the first part of the title, hut how does he get “back?” Savannah Press: —A man who plead guilty in New York to steal ing SIOO,OOO was given his free dom. On the same day in the same court a man who stole a quarter was sentenced for six years. The moral, children, is to j aim high in this 1 ire. Atlanta Constitution:—The nt tonipt of a foot pad to cut the earrings from a woman’s ears in a New York City street reads for all the world like an occurence in the Chicnga jungle, Dublin Times: —A vigorous pro test is being entered by certain of ! Atlanta’s churches against the re turn of Evangelist Torrey to that city. They claim that the church is not benefited by this kind of work. Perhaps the Atlanta churches would be benefited by locking the members inside and holding a revival among them selves. Fitzgerald Enterprise:—T h 0 theory has been advanced, 111 Kan sas, to the effect that if men’s shirts were made one inch longer the additional cloth required would consume the entire surplus cotton crop. Put us down with the long shirt crowd. Darien Gazette: —The tax dod ger will continue to dodge his tax es just so long as lie is allowed to do it. The legislature has the power to make him come up to j the scratch and we hope it will give us laws that will remedy this matter. Blackshear Times: —Vincent T. j Sanford of Crawfordville, is figur ing on running for Comptroller j General against Hon. Win. A. Wright, and sent out his card to numerous newspapers to be pub lished free. The Times stands pat for the present incumbent, and against free advertising. Valdosta Times :—Undoubtedly ; Senator Smoot is fooling sorry for some of the men who are married to some of tho women who are as ; ter him all the t ime. Savannah News:—Should Taft and Bryan be the opposing enndi | dates two years hence, we would have a big man for President, no matter which won. The Secre tary weighs over 800 pounds and Mr. Bryan tips the beam at soiue tlung like 220. Cochran Courier:—Count ing the cost per day of the Superior court at $250, ~rmd that of the City Court at SSO. the City Court will save in one week in expenses, ! enough to pay the judge of the ' court a year’s salary of SI2OO.
