8AVER8 AND SPENDERS.
The deposits In the aivlng* bonk* of
the country Increased from 11,1*5,247,-
371 In 1SI7. to $2,936,204,945 In 1001—a
period of sixteen years, and a percent
age of about 140. The Individual de
positors In 1001 numbered' 7.105,128.
The sum of the deposit# represents the
SAVinre of small Investors and wage
earners. The Imrnenso aggregate at
tracted the attention of the Bankers*
Association which recently held lie an
nual meeting In New York city, and the
suggestion was made that the owners
of these savings banks should he more
aggressive In advertising their busi
ness and to ndopt generally a system
of business which. In every community,
would enable wage earners to make de
posits after the hours of their dally
work had been concluded. The Louis
ville Courier-Journal, commenting upon
thle, ssye that as places In which per-
i-ons may spdnd money are opon all
night long, places where they can put
It to their saving account should keep
open likewise. It Is a very good sug
gestion Indeed and there is little doubt
that If It should be adopted generally,
It would not taka sixteen years to
double the amount of the deposits. A
wage-earner drawing his pay late In
the afternoon Is rarely evor able to
renrh a bank In time to make a deposit.

tage from which he cun stab you to the

It Is this stealthy disguised Republicanism
coming Into the South under the name of
Democracy which I am combatting with
nil my strength. The men who are now
lending the Democratic parly do not want
tho success of Democratic principles.
They want tho sm-eess of Republican
principles. As to popular sovereignty they
cry loudest for it. But what they want
Is* a sovereignty of .the corporations, of
the privileged TuW. ’of ,the greedy bene
ficiaries of class legislation.' ,r
For a bold perversion of fact and
truth this would be hard to outdo. But
It show** that Watson, who renlly has
not the slightest hope of getting u Sin
gle vote ft: the electoral college, la nt
heart for Roosevelt, and this Is the hol
low defense of his conduct.
Mr. Wstson hss Invaded New York,
Indians, Kentucky, North Carolina,
New Jersey and some other state.!, to
reawaken the interest In the Populist
movement thnt has slumbered for •'ghl
years. Ilia principal work will lie In
the close states with the expectation
that the movement imy tnks enough
votes away from tho Democrat* to
•Jeot Roosevelt. It Is clnlmed thut
6,000 Democrats In New Jersey will
vote for Watson. If this Is true It will
probably Insure thnt state for Roose
velt. Nsw York Is being orgnmxml, mfd
a state ticket hss hee.1 put Into the
field, bended by A. J. Boulton ss a can
didate for governor. Mr. Boulton Is n
prominent labor union man, end hns
been prominently Identified with the
Citizens* Union and Independent poli
tics for many years. He was candidate
on the fusion ticket In 1003 for county
clerk of Kings county, and (Killed nearly
100,000 votes. All the men on the ticket
were active supporters of Bryun in
1896 and 1000.
Wstson seems also to have An eye to
a Republican house. Judging by his raid
Into Kentucky. He hns gone Into the
First congressional district, the home of
the Populists, where they poll their
greatest vote, and hss made a speech.
He will turn Ills attention to Glasgow,
In the Third district, which Is also
strong in I'npullsm, end which John 8.
Hhes, Democrat, carried for congress
In 1902. Rhea received 16.110 votes,
and Moss, Republican, 16,056. It would
not require much of a draft here on
the Democratic Vhte to make suro tho
election of a Republican. There wifi
also be a hot fight In the Fifth, repre
sented by 8wager Sherlty, who hss as
bis opponent W. C. Owen, who bolted
the Democrats In 1896 and has become
g full-fledged Republican. Ow«n Hi re
membered ns the man who lowered tho
tutors of W. C. P. Breckenrldge after
the Madeline Pollard scandal. If the
Populists succeed in taking 25,000 votes
away from the Democrats in Kentucky
there is danger of Parker losing the
atnto and of ths Republicans gaining
one or more congressmen. The Repub
licans are working energetically, and
Kentucky Is regarded ns one of the still
hunts of the Republican campaign.
The plurality of Bryan In Kentucky In
1900 waa 8,091. The Democratic plu

It Is talked here in Seville that the
colored people are organising what is
called a Before Day Club. This, we,
the colored people of Seville, beg to
deny. We know nothing about such
Before Day Club. We further want to
say thnt If any such club be organized
here we. the colored citizens of Se

“The Sheriff snd Posse.”
To the Editor of the Telegrdph:
As a citizen and a lawyer I want to
endorse your editorial entitled “The
Sheriff and the Posse.” Every pudl-
clal and executive officer, particularly
arresting officers should read it. Mod
ern thought earnest and free as It Is,
Is a foe to prejudice, It Investigates all
things, law, religion science, ancient
faiths, etc., seeking to value each at
the worth of the other, It Is as the
hammer of Thor, to strike down abuses
and remove obstacles toward needed
reform. Your editorial should be glv
en thoughtful consideration by all. and
much benefit will accrue therefrom.
How many Instances are there where
a citizen refused to obey when sum
monsed by a sheriff to suppress a mob?
If the sheriff neglects to summons a
posse to his aid In suppressing a mob
ns provided by sections 366 and 9 of
code of Georgia, such sheriff should be
held accountable! Did sheriff of Bul
loch county neglect this duty?

The County Fair
By Sam W. Small.
1
I believe the best work that could
i done for all the Interests of agri
culture and the domestic arts in Geor
gia would be the revival of the county
fairs. They once were very general In
this state, aa they are yet In the Eas
tern and Western states. The hard
times that succeeded the civil war and
lasted for over twenty years strangled
these local enterprises and now but
few are found anywhere in the Bouth.
The revived and reformed county
fair should now be fashioned after the
modern needs of our changed system
of industrial life. We would not need
such elabomts grounds and extensive
permanent buildings as we had in the
s#rve every purpose of exhltlng and |
trying horses, Judging all elapses of
ntock and permitting athletic sports in '
which amateurs could contest for suit
able awards and honors.
The benefit to agriculture would
come through the emulation stimulated
by local competition In products. Far
mers would take on extra ambition:* to
show what each could in results, both
from acreage and from methods of cul
ture employed. In this era of propa
gating the small farm and the applica
tion of the Intense system, these an
nual local competitions would be tre
mendously forceful educators.
These fairs would also do Invaluable
good In reviving the domestic arts—

Mr. Mahaffey Tolls Populists Wi*it
To *Do.
On© of ths most sensible articles yet
contributed to the presidential contro
versy and the part the Populist should
play In In It comes from the pen of
Hon. J. A. B. Mahaffey. of Jackson,
who was one of the leading Populists
In the state In the days of their greatest
strength nnd who was once a candi
date for attorney general on the state
ticket of that party In Georgia.
Mr. Mahaffey writes to the Jackson
Herald as follows:
Quite a number of people have ask-
l what I think of Mr. Watson’s
course, and what ought Populists In
Jackson county do?
When the Populists party, or what
was styled tne Populist party, tendered
Mr. Watson the nomination for presi
dent. his friends and admirers here
unhesitatingly snld ho would not ac
cept. In this they wero mistaken.
The mistake, however. Is to be attri
buted, not so much to Illogical reason
ing. as to Mr. Watson’s vnclllattom
Mr. Watson had declared his fixed
determination to quit politic*. Ilia
wish wns to he regarded ns politically
dead, nnd his catafalque had been lam
ented by hla many friends. While
many thought the Populists, as a par-
nt111 had a fighting chance. Mr.
Wntson. with apparent suicidal Intent,
en while hla former comrades were
still on the front firing line, was as
dumb ns the grave, nnd neither the
gibes of foes nor the appeals of friends
could arouse him from his self-sought.
Impenetrable sommell. Bo It wns not
strange, but perfectly natural, that his
friends should have concluded thnt he
>uld not accept the call of tho Popu
lists convention. But mo he did, and so
It has agnln been demonstrated that
truth, indeed. Is sometlmea stranger
than fiction. ,
No one knows better than does Mr.
Wntson thst his defeat is a doomed,
absolute certainty. Thnt he can hope
fur even a complimentary vote in his
home stnte is not to he classed with
the prohnhle; Indeed, tt la cousin-ger
man to Impossible.
That Mr. Wntson has strong convte
lions, snd is governed by the noble
sentiment that It Is better to be right
than president, may be conceded; yet
hi* course Is Inexpllcnhle. impractica
ble nnd Inconsistent. To say leas than
this. I would not he true to my con
victions. nml my high regnrd for Mr.
Wntson forbids that I should say more.
An to whnt thoee. who were once
Populists, in this county should do.
seems to me a que*tlon easily ans
wered by any thinking, unprejudiced
voter. Most of them aligned themselves
with the Democratic party, nnd parti
cipated In the recent primaries, and
now. to withhold a hearty support
from the nominees would, at It seems
to me. he In bad taste, to say the
least of It. True, hut n few of them
had nny voice in nominating Pnrker
and Pavla, and none In nominating
Watson. The plain truth is, there Is
no Populist party In this state, and no
one man la responsible more than Mr.
Watson for the Pnpultats as ft party,
going out of business In Georgia.
While It may be said he neither sound
ed « retreat nor capitulated; yet In the
crucial hour he sulked more unjustly;
and equally as fatally as ever did the
con of Peieua. This being true, he Is
not entitled to a complimentary % , ote,
and no good can be accomplished by
voting for him. Much good, however,
may be accomplished by voting the
Democratic ticket. Even If it be ex
tremely doubtful as to the success of
the national Democratic ticket, as to
president, still a vote coat for the nom-
uld not necessarily bo barren
sldered a sine qua non of such asaem- j more strenuour. life. Indeed, the entn-
blies, should be cut out of the modern logue of benefits that would follow the
and more moral local exposition. A j county fair when rightly exploited is
stock ring, or horse-show arena. In the j greater than I dare try to axsemble in

prove fatal to the entire body politic.
That both parties, too eager for tem
porary success, were madly rushing to
ruin, was too sadly and lamentably
true. While good men stood divided,
all recognized the evil, but none dared
apply the remedy. Each party boldly
nnd Justly enough accused the other of
the evil, while each ns cowardly and
msfully failed to rebuke nnd cor
rect the wrong In . their respective
ranks. The old slogan, all 1s fair in
love and war and politics, was the fal
lacious shield under which all cowardly
Justified the wjeked unjustIflnble.

each privately argued Un necessity.
That such was unwisdom of the
rankest type Is too clear for argument
Better to have gone down In defeat,
for the time being, than to have gloated
over victory besmirched with wicked
ness nnd degraded with dishonor.
But It Is utter folly and time wasted
to cavil about what either party did
or failed to do. except for the sole pur
pose of reaching sohle practicable plan
by which. In the future, Chnrybdis and
Beylin may be safely avoided; nnd the
hope—the only hope—ns I see it. is for
our people to Stand united, nnd set
their face like a flint against the evil
of making commerce of the ballot.
There Is no evil, no danger, on our po
litical horizon comparable In Its malig
nity nnd more frightful In Its magni
tude than the shameful, profligate use
of money to carry election*. It Is sim

So long as the good people are di
