Defeat of Dyer Bill;
Negro in the South.
Democratic senators, through
a justifiable filibuster, have de
feated the Dyer anti lynching
bill, the Republicans having with
drawn the measure from con
sideration. The bill, it is clear,
was fostered to please Northern
negroes politically. True, no
Southerner to the manner born
approve s lynching, and the bill
was defeated because of its in
tolerant provisions. The North
will probably never appreciate,
the attitude of the South on the
negro question. Coincidental with
the Republican effort to put over
the inconsistent anti-lynching
bill and the incident abuse of the
South, is the tour of many South
ern citi s and towns by the presi
dent of Tuskeegee Institute, a
colored man, and the reception
and si noire oilers of co-opera
tion given him in his efforts to
ward the uplift of jus lie •
through the aid and sympathy of
the white man. Melon, recoj
nized as a worthy successor to
Booker Washington, is wasting
no time discussing lynching and
social equality: he is familiar with
the white man’s views and de
terminations in this respect. As
far as the negro is concerned,
the speeches made by Dr. Moton,
and his efforts for his people, wil
da more good than the combin' .
efforts of all the Northern fannt
ics in a generation. The South
knows the negro, and the negro,
as far as his capabilities extend,
knows the South, and inseparab
|y they will exist if the Yankees
will let the colored man alone.

What our city needs more than
anything else now is some small
industries that will furnish cm
ployment for labor and bring
more peoph to Cocluan. We
have an idt’al residence town
We have all the advantages ol a
much larger city- electric lights,
water worts, sanitary sewerage,
paved streets, iwoelcgantchurcn
buildings, the Twelfth District
Agricultural school, splendid pub
lie school system that is alrea
on the A 1 Georgia accreditee
list, anil plans well on foot P
place it on the Southern Accredit
ed list. There are scores of
small industiies that could be lo
cated here to advantage. A
knitting factory, spoke and han
dle factory, heading and stave
factory, pine collin factory,
bi\>om factory, pimento factory :
in other words, scores of small
industries requiring small capital
might be investigated with .
view to improving our industrial
condition,— Cochran Journal.
Gover Elect Walkjcr tells th<
people of Savannah that unless
they have a political house-clean
ing, that city’s chances of getti g
the st e port will he minimized, j
and the anti administration for
ces are using it to lull advantage
After all, the state-owned port }
will come through the people of
Georgia, and it remains to be!
seen w hat they w 11 do with tin
proposition. In the meantime
Brunswick is a strong contender j
for the plum, and Brunswick has
more deep water than Carter had |
oats. Regardless of the outcome J
of the city election in Savannah, j
the people of the state, whose j
voice only can amende the consti
tution, will have nearly two years: j
to learn something of tne merits
of the state port matter and of
the advantages of both Bruns
wick and Savannah.

Most fi h stories find lodgment
in the mental firmament because
exaggeration is the warp and
wool of the fabric: but a news
item from a northern city, recit
ing how fish were stunned by'
the explosion of dynamite under
water, and how the natives with ]
i great sport gathered them up, i
was about the dryest thing ever
! handed out in the line of fish
storii s. It was painful in its un
erring simplicity calculated to
bring a disdainful grin to the
iG'-orpia cracker, who, contrary
to statutory law and the Walton
ian ethics, has for years used
this method of getting results
win n other and more sportsman
like methods fail The man who
wrote that news item evidently
knows no more about fishing
than a country editor.
It would he refreshing -for Ma-
I'un | e p|c to read a little writeup
o: Savannah by an inmate of the
e it.y detention home, in which he
paid a tribute to the old home
town, Macon is writhing in the
ire brought on by a recent touch
up of the city by a Macon stu
dent in the Georgia Cracker, pub
lished in Athens. However, it is
to be observed that the Savannah
scribe wrote somewhat under
restraint. Even if temporarily
-niied in, the kid lias the right
idea of blagging on one’s home
town.
In China marriages are still
conducted on the sight-unseen
plan, according to the recent ac
count of a semi-royal marriage,
in w hich the bride and groom had
not met before the ceremony.
In America at-sight .weddings are
c nimon, as well as instant sepa
rations. The former is a matter
of custom and the latter a matter
of moral degeneration.

The ability and fitness of the

Savannah—the dear old city!
At this time conditions militant
within her bounds will not admit
proffers of either sympathy or
congratulation. The atmosphere
may be too heavy for her civic
receiving station, but we cannot
refrain from a warning note
the possible fate of the Forest
City makes us shiver ninety miles
away! The U. S. Supreme Court,
after a century’s contest, awards
the State of Georgia the islands
in the Savannah river. For many
years, state line or what not,
lovers of the sport have been
conducting rooster fighting car
nivals on some of these festive
islands. The legality of the sport
having been questioned, devotees
of the cock-fight organized, (and
possibly subsidized) chartered a
boat, stocked it with fighting
roosters of every breed and pedi
gree, put the craft in midstfeam,
and headed south for Savannah.
Governor Hardwick has been
appealed to. by both Northeast
Georgia (and possibly Northwest
South Carolina) and unless he
can be excused from the Peach
county wrangle long enough to
intercede, with the aid of state J
constabulary, the rooster-laden
craft will soon cast anchor in
Savannah, the future (?) state
port. Something must be done,
and that at once, otherwise a full
cargo of crowing, fighting roos
ters landed in Savannah at this
crucial period, with the atmos
phere already cerulean tinged, is
calculated to produce a shock felt
from Tybee’s Light to Rabun’s
Gap. Bill Biffem, hoist the quar

1 Our Little Fairy 1
I I We want to tell all the children between the ages of six and and nine- £4
ty-six about the little fairy we have in our bank. AS
Her name is “Interest,” and every time you put a dollar into our bank S 9
on savings account or on time certificate, she waves her magic wand and 4 fig
cents jumps right up by the side of it, then you have a dollar and 4 cents jgj
where you only had a dollar before. 8$
If you keep on adding to your account, she keeps on rolling nickles up fig
to your dollars, and before you hardly realize it you have a snug bank ac- g
In later years she guards your welfare and keeps poverty and want 8g
from attacking you, makes you enjoy life in pleasure and comfort, where w
otherwise you might have led a life of drudgery, misery and want in your
old age, besides being dependent on relatives or charity. §
Deposit your dollars in our bank wh re our little fairy “Interest” will jw
add to them regularly and make you independent. &
