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

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.

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.”
