Vernon, Georgia, Thursday Morning, Sept. 17, 1908. The September winds are now blowing—strong reminders that 1 lie summer ih past. It is a poor wind that blows good to no man. •barter’s votes will not lie as nu merous as were Carter's oats. — Dublin Courier-Dispatch. Well, no; but more easily counted. Rocks are worn uway by the constant passing of water over them. Tito hard times can be worn uway by the necessary labor and diligence. Postmaster Blodgett of Atlanta is to be removed from office on ue count of a general luck of atten tion to official duties. This trans fers the pap to another. Dealers in near-beers will now realize that to pay the full fee of S2OO for the last quarter of BIOS for the privilege of selling the slops is nearly like tax-paying. The colored citizens are prepar ing themselves to defend the dis franchisement measure to be voted on in October. Large numbers of them have registered hero during the past week. The bunks throughout the coun try are complaining of a luck of one and two dollar lulls. Wo are at a loss to tell how this scarcity is brought about, but realize that we lack several of the linger de nominations—say up in the twen ties. As to the (Inal outcome of the tieorgia convict question, we can not say, but there is scarcely a feature of the matter without a scandal, from the institution of the If use system down through its investigation by the general as sembly. As may have been expected, it remained for uu American to make the most rapid advances in aerial navigation. Within a few years this form of travel will he practi cal—to those who like it. We should prefer to remain rather close to the earth. There are many types of “inde pendents,” but the most valuable and patriotic kind thut we have knowledge of is tho one with a good supply of corn and potatoes on hand and n number of fat porkers ready for the smoke house. No objection to a few bales of cot ton and a stack of hav or fodder. This is the independent state cal culated to bring good to the coun try at large. To some extent John Temple Graves has been recognized as a gifted Georgian, and indeed, he is a git ted man, but his loyalty to tlie Democratic element in Geor nnd the South is rotten. Graves has long since proved himself to be a bootlicker to the dominating party, and iu his foolish and ab surd efforts iu national politics should not receive the slightest recognition at the hands of Geor gia democrats. Hrvan's trick mule would not be in it beside the average Mt. Vernon hog. Many of them can relieve a buggy of its coutents quicker than a Georgia nigger can get over a fence with a melon on u moonlight night. Wo have said and we will say again, that to have these hogs roaming on the streets of this place is an injust ice perpetrated on the citizens of the county who have occasion to come here and leave their buggies in public places. Until the thing is remedied we muat insist that the good people coming here in vehicles leave nothing of value iu them—unless it is a piece of dy namite. COLD: COMFORT FOR THE WHINERS Under the above head in its is sue of the 11th, the Constitution hands down to the disgruntled “few” some pointers, as well its cold facts, that are very timely, and it is to lx* hoped that no man, who voted in the June pri mary w ill so far torget himself us to follow off after strange gods at the coming tail election, lb-re is what the Constitution says: “Where any reasoning, think ing citizen can get the idea that there is any formidable or even serious opposition in Georgia to the Democratic tickets state or national, it is difficult to under stand. It is true there is a little talk being handed around about some body bolting tho primary, but, uualyized, its seriousiieas vanishes into the humor which it- very lit tleness—literally ami figuratively —gives it. Os course, there is a little “dis gruntlement’’—it follows every primary campaign—but that bus never yet and never will swerve Georgians from their political ob ligations. A few dissenters can make a lug noise, hut if Georgia were raked with a line-toothed comb, we do not believe it would bo pos sible to gather onotigh bolters from the recent primary to muke a respectable ward meeting. There is 110 trouble about Geor gia ; independent ism’s blare of trumpets will find no answering echo. On the contrary, reports from every section of the state show conclusively that no inroads have been made upon the Georgia dem ocracy. The press of the state, and par ticularly that which opposed the nomination of Joseph M. Brown, even most violently, is practically a unit, not only in its denuncia tion of efforts in certain quarters to encourage the alleged bolting movement, hut in its assertions of the solidarity and loyalty of the primary voters in its own par t icular section. The Constitution has already published several of these com ments and adds to them now that of tho Bainbridge Post, than which there was not a more earn est or vindictive opponent of the 1 nominee in ull the state. Its pres-: ent view of the situation will | make interesting reading. Individual communications of similar tenor are frequent. Os two ' which we publish today, one is from a persistent and oven prej udiced advocate of Gov. Smith, as he himself states, while other, | from the county which gave the governor his largest majority in the state primary, shows there is no such disaffection there as would Is-tray the political trust which was imposed by participation in the primary. The truth about the matter is, there is no sort of ground for any of the wild rumors which have been so diligently circulated in va rious quarters for obvious and, sometimes, nefarious, political purposes. Georgia stands today, as Geor gia has always stood, for the pri- ! mary nominees. ** TO UNVEIL MONUMENT AT ANDERSONViLLE A party of citizens from Indi-I ana. consisting of the governor of the state, his staff and the Indi ana monument commission will • come to Georgia in November to ' unveil a monument that is now being erected at Andorsonville. The monument is in honor of Indiana soldiers who lost their, lives in the war lietweon the states. The exact date for the unveiling is November lDth. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, SKI’T. 17, tOoK. JOE BROWN COMES OUT FOR W. J, BRYAN, A special from Atlanta dated the 10th, says: “.Jos. M. Brown returned from his vacation spent in North Caro lina Tuesday and was iu confer ence with his friends in Atlanta Wednesday'. He w ill join at once iu the state and national cam paigns. He will in a few days be gin iu part the tour of the state which he said in his original un nouncement he would make be tween the time of his nomination and inauguration. Mr. Brown will not “take the stump” so to speak, ns he luys no more claim to oratorical talent now than he did during the recent campaign. However, he will at teud several meetings held in the interest of his own and Bryan’s candidacy. At these lie will prob ably make short tulks in favor of both state and national tickets. The first meeting he will attend will probably be held at Macon.lt is ulso probable that, lie will make trips to Savannah and other Sout h Georgia cities before the state election o ccuri. When seen Wednesday, lie said: ”1 have just returned from a visit to Waynesville, N. C., where I went for a short rest after a long physical strain, which has lasted almost without intermission since the middle of last February. I have not given careful attention to political conditions during my absence, but have incidentally conferred with visitors from sev eral states, with the result that I mu confident that our nominee, William Jennings Bryan, has steadily grown in the minds and hearts of the people of the Union and his chances of election are belter and brighter than they have ever been before. “The state campaign is in splendid shape. Chairman Ball has combined wise thought with energy iu the organization lie has just announced for campaign work. The expressions 1 have heard in North Georgia from part isans of both sides I am sure that there will he practically no divis ion among Democrats iu the exe cution of the party’s w ill as ascer tained June fourth.” Congressman W. Bourke Coch ran of New York has accepted an invitation from the Democratic campaign committee to deliver a series of speeches in the Middle West.—Savannah Press. This means nothing less than that the people of the Middle West will hear some of the finest and most beautifully worded, as well as most forceful campaign orations they have ever listened to. Congressman Bourke is not only a power in a heated cam paign, but is also a power in the halls of congress. MONEY TO LOAN. Money to loan at 0 and 7 per cent, on improved farms. A. B. Hutcheson, Mt.

The Oliver Typewriter Company, Chicago, THK OLI i\^,.TS£S WB,TER Illinois, j: BUSINESS, PLUCK AND GOOD HORSE SENSE Under the head of “industrial; notes” giving the improvements j at many different points in thej South we find the following,which i dearly proves to our mind that 1 Jesup has within her borders men! of business, pluck and good horse sense. It reads as follows: “The town of Jesup, Ga., has shown a progressive and com-! mendable spirit by literally going' out and getting a warehouse that the Farmers’ Union of that coun ty proposed to establish some where in the county. A warehouse company of Jesup citizens was quickly formed, headed by the mayor, and it proposed to the farmers to build for them a large, modern warehouse of concrete block, turn it over to them and let the Union have its free use for five years, with the privilege of them buying the building at ac tual cost. The offer was accepted and the warehouse will be built at once.” There are other towns in South Georgia who doubtless would not make any mistake to pattern after Jesup. 'l’he News is regular and will support the Democratic nominees from coroner up.—Adel News. We trust this statement wiH re leive some editors who have been worrying unnecessarily about the position of the Adel News. —At- lanta Georgian. Well, now, who is worrying about Kditor Shytle’s policy? Ev idently some man who does not know him to be the generous and level-headed man that he is (even if he was a little fond of Hoke.)
