If ,the Albany Herald could be
given the “swell head” by having
nieejthings said about it, it would
sure have a well developed ease
by this time, as the press all over
the territory continue to hand it
briquets. It is all too modest and
all too deserving to be spoiled by
these little appreciations and will
go right ahead being the biggest
lit(le daily in the South.
Did you know that not n single
building in Cairo has ever boon
built to any established, grade
the raising of a fund for a perma
nent fair organization in Grady
county. We should by all moans
have a fair next year, arid right on
every year.
Corn is worth in Chicago today
somewhere about $1.00 per bushel.
Anybody knows that the minute
the supply runs short in Grady
county that supply is going to have
t.o come from those sections where
the price is based on that of Chica
go. Therefor^ it* is strictly up to
Grady county to conserve the
splendid stock 'tliat she has on hand
iu order that, we may not have to
pay $1.25 and above for corn next
summer,
We note that our county com
missioners at. their last meeting de
cided to withdraw the reward that
they had been offering for the con
viction of violators of the prohibi
tion law. We do not know the
reason that prompted them fa do
this, and would therefore not desire
to criticise, but we trvist that it
does not mean that they would fa
vor any less earnest efforts to keep
down all violations of the prohibi
tion law. It will be a , very easy
I matter for one blind tiger to cost
Grady county much more than
they would probably be called on
to pay out for rewards jn years.

There lias been some surprise in
some quarters that the men who
voted in the primary in this state
would have voted in the national
election for some one other thau

was simply a white primary. 11 it

There is now an„actiye movement

one of the chief causes.' But Sa

Sparta 1 Ga. Nov. 20, S910.
ear Mr. Editor:-
takes a great deal of money
to conduct even a Slate political
campaign.
It takes a great deal more to
finance a National Campaign.
President Wilson’s rc-elcction is
a blessing to the Nation and the
world and a joy io nil Democrats
and forward-looking men, Re
alizing how much depended upon
the result of the recent election
the Democratic National Committ
ee spent more money than they
had in sight.
If they had not done so, the re
suit might have, been different.
Had they failed to do so and
Wilson had been defeated, Georgia
Democrats would have blamed the
fCoramittee.
The expenses of the Committee! *
exceeded the Revenue by about j in votes ancl we confidently
$300,000. 1 •
The Committee is now asking
Georgia Democrats for an addition
al $5,000 to holp mrke up the de
ficit.
I have been asked to serve a-
gain Chairman, hence this letter
to you.
I have consented to do so at no
small personal sacrifice, but, I am
glad to be able to render to my
Party and the Nation this service,
feeling as I do t tint President Wil
son’s re-election means the great
est. good to the greatest numbed, I
to the present generation as well
rs to posterity.
We are asking every Weekly
paper in the State to whom this
call appeals, to urge their De
mocratic readers to respond to the
emergency need of the committee,
Wc will not conduct n Campaign
simular to she grst one as we be-
liovo it. unnocessary in order to
raise the amount asked of Georgia.
Wc regard the Democratic de
ficit as a debt of honor.
We believe that many of t hose
who have already responded will
be glad to respond again.
Wc believe thar many who did
not respond during the first Cam
paign will now be glad to do so.
We feel that our duty will have
been done whon we bring this mat
ter to the attention of the Demo-
crate of the State through the
Weekly Press and through some
telcgrAms which wc arc now send
ing out.
\Ye will appreciate very much
your co-operation, provided this
appeal meets your approval.
Georgia has made a splendid re
cord thus far, both in money and
