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.

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.

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.
