NO NEED TO FILE EXPENSE ACCOUNTS ! Foolish Law That Provides! No Penalty For Viola tion of its terms. Atlanta, Sept. 14. —“What’s the use of filinp primary election expense accounts after the state convention has been held, the nominees declared and the state ticket made up?’’ is the interest ing query of Comptroller Gen eral Wm. A. Wright, with whom the law requires that such ac counts shall be placed within twenty days after the primary. The only penalty attached for failing to comply with the law or for accepting campaign funds from certain sources, is that the candidate so failing shall not be declared the nominee of the party. This year the primary was held August 21 and the state conven tion August 28, just one week later. All the nominees had been declared by the convention, the state ticket completed, and the election blanks printed with their names and sent out by the secretary of state, before the ex piration of the time limit for fil ing expense accounts. In the event a nominee had broken the law regarding expense accounts, how could the penalty be enforced? By what process could he be removed from the ticket? The present plan of holding primaries and conventions fore stalls the only penalty the law makes, and the requirement looking to publicity of campaign expenses loses much of its force and effect. This is the view the comptroll er general takes of the matter, and he expresses the belief that if the law is to have any force and effect at all, it- will have to be amended in some way to meet political conditions. The suggestion has been made that campaign expenses should be limited to a moderate amount, say to one-half the salary of the position to which the candidate aspires, or to one year’s salary in such position. Such a require ment would limit the amount which a candidate for governor might expend to $5,000. And yet there have been several cam paigns in which gubernatorial candidates spent that much for postage alone. To send one let ter each to 200,000 voters, at 2 cents a letter, would cost $4,000, and that does not by any means cover the entire registration list. The problem is an interesting one, and legislative consideration of it has probably only just be gun. Young Medical Student Os Adrian is Dead. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 16. -—Will J. Barwick, a young man of Ad rian, Ga., died very suddenly Sunday night, after an illness of only three days. He had come to Atlanta Wed nesday with the intention of en tering the Atlanta School of Medicine. Thursday he matricu lated at this institution, and on Thursday night was taken sud denly ill. He lingered till Sunday night. For some time past young Barwick had suffered from ma larial fever, and his friends be lieve that this disease contributed largely to his sudden death. Mr. Barwick was twenty-three years of age, and had many friends in this city who will mourn his death. He was a young man of splendid character with a bright future before him. The Blackshear Judgship. Waycross, Ga., Sept. 16.—Up on the request of parties inter ested, Judge Parker today con tinued the hearing in quo war ranto proceedings brought by R. G. Mitchell, Jr., against W. A. Milton, both of whom claim to be judge of the City Court of Black shear. The hearing was contin ued to Sept. 21. On Dividing the State. The talk of dividing the State j grows stronger and many are of j the belief that the question of j cutting Georgia in two will be a • most important one before many days. One of the main reasons offered is that the North Georgia politicians grab all of the offices and that a South Georgia man has no show. We don’t know so much so much about dividing the State: it would be a big job, and if it was accomplished we cannot see at this time where any great benefit would accrue, other, than to the politicians. If the milk in the cocoanut is the hogging of the offices by the North Georgia men, that difficul ty could easily be remedied. It is a well known fact that South ! Georgia voters seem to vote for a North Georgia man in prefer -1 ence to one of their home folks. Now we have just as good men in this section of the State as there are in the northern part, or in the United States, for that matter. Rather than divide this grand old Empire State, let us put up some of our good men and then vote for them. — Quit man Advertiser. Comment Is Needless Here in the South. Before she shot herself in Chi cago on Wednesday the white wife of Jack Johnson, the cele brated heavyweight pugilist, is said to have declared: “I am'a white woman and am tired of being a social outcast. I deserve all of my misery for marrying a black man. Even the negroes don’t respect me. They hate me. I intend to end it all.” Comment is needless in the South, but appropriate comment should be worth while in those Northern States where the laws fail to forbid such marriages. It was in one of the latter States that this wretched w’hite woman was induced to marry the negro pugilist. Her life with him is described in the dispatches as “stormy”—a mild term— and she is said to have been driven to threaten suicide more than once. She has paid the penalty, but . the legislators of her native Northern State are also to blame. . —Macon Telegraph. 1 Grafton Pickle Raises Corn Instead of Pickles. i The State Department of Ag riculture of Mississippi says that from all information received, the champion juvenile corn grow er for this year will be Grafton Pickle of Monroe county. This youqgster has tillled one acre of corn on his father’s farm about seven miles from Aberdeen, and it is estimated he will make 200 bushels per acre. He should come to the Macon Fair, bring samples, and tell how he did it. In 1910 this same young boy rais ed 99 bushels on one acre;in 1911 he gathered 128 bushels from one acre. There are 6,000 boys in Mississippi who will have re -1 cords far ahead of those of last . year it is evident the South in tends to cease buying corn from . the West. The boys are doing ■ their part. The drawback is in . the negro tenant system. . Negroes are too slow' to make . corn. A Misunderstanding. 1 “The reporter’s life is a happy one. When he suffers an indig nity, the source of that indignity ‘ is usually beneath consideration, or else the insult is due to some misunderstanding. ” “I know a reporter who went to a house the day after a wed ding and said to the servant who answered his ring: “ ‘Can you let me have some details, please of yesterday’s ! ceremony?’ “The servant frowned. “ ‘No, I can’t,’ she said. They ate every crumb!- And I think you ought be ashamed, an able ■ bodied young man like you, going around begging for cold details!” THE MONTGOMERY MONITOK-THURSDAY, SEPT. 19, 1912. Georgia Ships Cows And Buys Beef. While Atlantians are paying l dearly for western teaks, Geor gia is shipping cattle to Texas. One carload of cattle arrived in Atlanta Thursday night from Early county, Ga., destined to Parker county, Texas, which is in the central northern section of the Lone Star State. The Early county cattle are held here in quarantine until the i shipper can show that he has complied with the Texas laws re , garding the importation of cattle into that state. If the shipper ' has a certificate for the health of the cattle on a tubercular inspec tion which was taken sixty days “ ago, the cattle can go on their way, but if he hasn’t such a cer tificate the cattle must remain until sixty days after the exami nation has been made. According to Dr. E. M. Night bert of the government depart ment of animal industry, the Texas cattle raisers are seeking ' Georgia piney woods cows to breed to high stock. This cross, declares the expert, makes an ex cellent meat. Our Crowning Glory. In the address of Hon. William G. Brantley at Boston, Mass., on “A Government of Law,” speak i ing of those who now claim that the courts are a menace to liber , ty and their decisions should be reviewed at the ballot box, the speaker said: “Little they know they are striking at the one protection to life, liberty and property that they enjoy. But for the courts we must have autocratic govern ment or anarchy. But for the ! courts a government of law would : be without strength, or power, : and could not live. * * * Power must be lodged somewhere today ; when a given act violates the i law, or when a given law violates i the Constitution. Where better to lodge this power than an in i dependent judiciary?” * * * The ; one thing which has difierentiat- I ed our republic from all other > government has been our ju diciary. The maintenance of our : judicial system has been our ; crowning glory. ” Mr. Brantley closed his address with this thought: “What our country needs is not a new gov ernment 1 nor new ways of mak ing laws, nor more laws, but it ■ is the planting deep in the hearts . of all the people of the spirit of ; the law.” Administrator’s Sale.
