lt, Hi,ANTON, Editor & I’itblishe.
One Dollar Per Year, In Advani
Adverting Rates Reasonable an
Made Known on Application.
Entered at Cairo, Ga., Postoffie
as Second Class Mail Matter.
It has been sixteen years sinc<
Congress convened in extra ses
sion.
Down with the robber tarriff.
,ye Democrats. Don’t fool about
it, but go at it with the pitchfork
and blade.
It is to be hoped that the Dem
ocrats will stick together during
this extra session battle for tar
riff reform.
The State treasury is empty.
But there are other treasuries in
the same fix, so there is no
cause for any excitement.
The weather looks good for
farm work just now, and every
body’s glad; for everybody and
his family is “doting” on the
farmer’s harvest next fall.
We will watch with great in
terest the progress of the tarriff
reform in Congress. Give us a
downward revission, gentlemen,
and do it quickly.

The friends of Senator Hoke
Smith are more than glad to note
that, he is as big in Washington
as he is in Georgia—as great a
force for good in national politics
as he has been in state politics.
President Wilson didn’t send
his message to Congress, but
carried it and delivered it as an
address. Such a thing has not
been done since Madison _was
president, 104 years ago. Surely
we are getting back to the sim
ple life.
ChlcnRO.—When tlio Ohio legislature
attempted to legislate against the ox-
demo stylos in women's dress it little
Itnow whnt it wns starting. Mrs. L.
Urnckott Bishop. Indorsed by the Clil-
•ngo Woman's club, the Nntionnl Dress-
mnlies' association, the Milliners' Na
tlonnl organization nnd the Association
of Commerce, announces that she in
tends to mulntnln a "burenii of correct
•hv s for men" in Washington and try
to bring about legislation against these
things’, “
High collars.
Pandemonium vesta.
I.oud neckties.
The common hairbrush nnd comb,
Derby lints.
Shaves and short hair cuts.
Starched shirts.
"Men are becoming bnld from wear
ing tight, stiff lints." snid Mrs. Bishop
“They wear tight collars nnd high
collars. They look binding nnd uncom
fortable and hot- Yet their wearers
declnre they keep wrinkles out of the
neck nnd prevent double chins. The
stiff straw nnd the stiff derby, the stiff
shirt, the ugly hrognn. the nightmare
tie and the cuhlst vest will all be
eliminated by the committee if pos
sible.
“Men keep their faces shnved. clip
off their beards and wear their hair
short. Nature intended him to linve
his hair rolling about his shoulders.
Ids beard protecting his Adam’s apple
from the chilling blast and his mus
tache keeping the cinders and dust
from his mouth and nose.
“The hairbrush and comh should go
with the drinking cup. We are or
ganized for the protection of man and
we are going to dress him right and
comfortably.” >
WOMAN WITH FISH SCALES.
Why not have several Farm
ers’ Union rallys in Grady? Why
let a good thing die? It takes
work and lots of work to keep
anything alive such times as
these, and the Farmers Union is
not working at all. The. Union
will sleep on unto death if you
farmers keep quiet.
The Federal Government is
not as anxious to try Tom Wat
son as you heard it was. Judge
Speer “passed uy’’ his cas,e at
Augusta a few days ago. Give
Tom a chance, we are anxious to
see him tried on this charge; not
because we think he is guilty, but
because we think there are things
about this case that need the
white light of publicity.

-There are,Half a dozen judgeship ap
pointments which the president has to
make. Must of them are-carried over
from the Taft administration and
were /tied up in the senate filibuster
against all the civil appointments made
by Mr. Taft after ti.l.< election.
It Is taken here that the rule laid
down by the attorney getiera! applies
to all judiciary appointments,that will
come up during the coming four years
It will apply equally to the United
States supreme court ns to the district

Just now there is a pressing demand
upon the president to appoint a chief

the senate to confirm the promotion of
