of the partv. Let’s get together
and give the Democratic nominees
such a majority as to put the In¬
dependents and Repubhcans on
notice in the future* that if they
want an office not to break into
Georgia’s Democratic primaries.
L;t all Democrats dwell together
as a family in one house, and with
but one aim—the victory of the
Democratic nominees.
Merry Widow Hats
Editor Enterprise: I have heard
the question asked quite often
lately, M What causes the falling off
of attendance of men at church?”
I tfijqk I 08H offer one of the
reasons, It is the large hats
by the ladies. It was my
to sit behind Quits a
of these "Merry Widows
Sunday, and I left church in an
frame of mind, on ac¬
of these church nuisances.
Now, Mr. Editor, the ladies look
under these sun shades
the streets, but everybody |
knows that one cannot enjoy a
!
lecture or sermon without you can :
see the speaker. So I modestly j
suggest to the pastors of our
churches that if the ladies will per¬
sist in wearing these large hats and
plumes, let them have one side of
the church set aside especially for
their use so they will only disturb
the "wearers of the kind,” and I’ll
guanantee that no one who really
wants to hear a sermon will sit be¬
hind thems Disturbed.
“Equal Rights To All”
There is a genral idea that the
school teacher is a favored indi
vidnal, who does nothing tor a
living, and draws a magnificent
salary for the privilege of doing it.
Have you ever tried teaching
school? Do you know what salary
the average school teacher re¬
ceives? How many hours of
work the average teacher put9 in?
Do you knoiv how long this
wealthy person has to wait for bis
money? We are speaking now of
the county teacher especially.
If you have never tried teaching in
a county school, and we take it
for granted very few of you have,
let us answer these questions for
you. <•
The average salary is $30.00 a
month, for a term of five months.
The other seven months she can
scratch or starve, as she pleases.
She teaedes all day, and works
at night to prepare for the next
day’s work.

STAND BY THE NOMINEE.
Now that the Independence
Lea-pie has put. W. Yancey Carter
)n the field as a candidate for
Governor against Joseph M. Brown
ih- Democratic nominee, and a
man named Garst, has als announc
ed his ietention to run as an in

Republicans and Independence

Tom Watson Georgia’s eleciorial
vote, we want to urge that every
Democrat stand by the nominee.
The Enterprise has always stooc
for pure democracy and we stanc
tor it, ye*. And we intend to vote

Every man has a right to vote aB
he pleases, but so far as we are
concerned, we are going to support
the nominee of the party.
I:, a recent issue of the Gaines¬
ville Newg we find in part the fol¬
lowing: "Sometimes the party
makes a mistake. It has done it
in the past in it’s nominees for
national, state and county officeirs

is thought to be the best with

Y T et some people wonder why it
is so hard to get an efficient teach¬
er, ami grumble because they
haven’t got one. This is a matter
of our legislature to regulate. It
does not belong anywhere else.
Is there any reason why the
governor, the judges, the legisla¬
tors, and other state officials should
receive their pay promptly when
due, while the school teachers,
who need the money more than
any of them, should be compelled
to borrow, at high rates of inter¬
est, the amount necessary to pay
to the cost of a bare living, be¬
cause the state witholds the small
pittance due them in April, until
next January or February.
We are not asking that any
special privilege be given these
teachers; we are simply asking
that they be given justice. This
question will have a great bearing
upon the future of our rural
schools; and as it is to these rural
schools that we look for the ma¬
terial to conduct the business
affairs of the cities, it is an im¬
portant one.
We hope so much pressure will
be brought to upon our legislature,
that they will take the matter up,
and see to it that our teachrs
receive the same justice that is
meted out to other employees of
the state.
We ask for nothing more.—
Elberton Star.
