THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1912.
Time No Use to Him.
When Robert H. Davis was
young and loose in the feet he
once wandered into a little Mis
sisippi town, says the Cincinnati
Times-Star. It was a bright day
in the early spring, and he walk
led down the one street. By and
j by he came to the county jail—a
! two-storied affair, standing flush
with the sidewalk.
1 “There was a negro pressing
his face against the barred win
dow on the second floor,” said
Mr. Davis, “holding on to the
barns and yawning. By and by
an old negro came limping along
the street, toting a whitewash
bucket.
“ ‘Hello, Uncle Eph’m,’ says
the one in the window.
“ ‘Howdy,’ says Ephraim,
limping on.
“‘ Wait a minute, Uncle,’ says
this lonesome negro in the win
dow. ‘What time is it, Uncle?’
“Uncle Ephram limped right
on. He hardly looked up.
| “ ‘What diffunce does it make
Ito you, niggeh ?’ he asked. ‘You
ain’t goin nowhere.’ ”
Notice of Application for Ijeave
to Sell bands.
| Notice is hereby given that I will apply to Judge
J. H. Martin at the court house in Mt. Vernon on
Monday, May 6, 1912, for an order authorizing rne
as the legal guardian of Mamie Z. Beckum, Nor
man Beck urn and Jaw. O. Beckum, minora, to Mill
j for reinvestment all the intercut of said minors in
j and to the following tract of land:—l4o acres,
more or less, lying in the 16915 t G. M. District of
Montgomery county, bounded on the north by
Wilcher lands; on the east by lands of K. Willis;
on the south by lands of J. E. Palmer, and on the
west by lands of Balaam Phillips. My reasons for
wishing to sell the interests of the above named
minors are as follows: Clarissa Beekum, mother
of said minors and 6 other children, owns a life es
tate in the said tract of land. The said minors
with the d adult children own in common the re
mainder interest after the termination of the life
estate. I wish to join with Clarissa Berk urn and
* the six adult children in the sale of a fee simple
estate in said land because I am advised and be
lieve that we can get for said land a sum of money
I sufficient to pay for a much larger tract of land
i which can be divided a/1 vantageously among all
the owners of the above described tract and fur
nish for each and all of them a home.

ISN’T THIS SO?
Doing a Southern man is, however,
hut one of Mr. Underwood's qualifies!- ]
tions for the presidency. He Is a na
tional figure the only l>emocrattc I
leader who ever led his party so safe
ly by the political mountain passes
and Republican pitfalls; a man of
high purpose, rare ability, unques
tioned integrity and rich experience ;
a master of the tariff question and
as such the only candidate in the
Democratic fold who by leading the
Democrats to victory in the next
campaign can kill Banquo's ghost
of American politics; the great floor (
leader from the South; the brilliant
representative of our sister state of
Alabama In the halls of congress ;
the real Amundsen In the field of
candidates—Oscar W. Underwood —a
Democrat from Dixie.
‘ HUD. -
Atlanta, Ga. —(Special.)—Hon. O.
R. Hutchens, manager of the Under
wood presidential campaign In the
state of Georgia, has Issued the fol
lowing card:
"I know the good ftcople of Geor
gia. I know that a campaign of
, abuse does not appeal to them. I
believe our opponents are losing
votes by it, and 1 am glad of it,
though I wish with all my heart that,
they would stop It, for they are only
manufacturing ammunition for the
Republican guns In the November
fight.
Woodrow Wilson’s managers aro
vtlHfylng overy Democrat who Is op
posing him. When they aro called
upon to support one of these Demo
crats next November, how are they
going to reconcile their statements?
How are they going to defend them
selves when the Republican party
Impales them on the point of their
own weapon?’*
ROBERT TOOMBS
ON COUNTY UNIT
, What Robert Toombs said about
the county unit system:
"I have written this county unit
■ system Into the constitution in order
that it might protect the people and
preserve the independence of the
counties forever.’*
Two Candidates for Governor Btand
by County Unit System.
Rx-Governor Slaton says:
“I shall seek the nomination on the
time honored principle of the county
unit system of selection, for I believe
that this fundamental guarantee, in
tended for the equal protection of tho
rights of every community in the
state and written into the constitu
tion by our forefathers, should be in
violably preserved in the spirit as
well as in the letter.’*
Hon. Thomas G. Hudson says;
"Democratic Georgia should elect
! her governor and state house officials
on the only true and tried county unit
plan that has been the backbone of
! our system for years.
"It is the only just system for tho
small and sparsely settled counties
of the state and the people of Geor
gia, I am sure, will tolerate no other.
It Is the only system that will as
’ sure the people of the small counties
a voice in elections equal to tholr
representation In the legislature.
S. H. Phelan, the great Crawford
county farmer, says:
“We are going to take this oppor
tunity of showing the Democratic
state committee that our rights as clt
, l/.ens of Georgia living In a country
( county can not be bartered by ma
chine politics. Tho constitution of
tho state of Georgia guarantees every
f country county a fixed proportionate
representation and not until this new
fangled so called ‘reform’ crew got In
' did any human being In Georgia over
; suggest depriving tho country coun
, ties of their constitutional guarnn
tees. Under the plan proposed by
’ the executive committee the country
i counties are shorn of their rights with
the deliberate purpose of chaining
them to the neck of a few city polltf
-1 | clans. We smashed the beeswax out
of that game four years ago, and we
aro going to smash It again this time
by voting for Oscar Underwood,
against whom this trick was aimed.
For the life of me, I do not see how
a human being living in a country
county in Georgia can vote against
Underwood with their constitutional
rights as citizens at stake.”
