Arc you one of those citizens who believes that Cairo has about condition at Milledgcville is about all that keeps you out of the San itarium. Again we want to remark that our speed limit signs should be brought closer in and then all car drivers lie taught to respect them.

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 Hughes. We see nothing remark able iu this as there were no re strictions put on the primary.

Cairo, | | stm 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.
