BROWN & PARROTT.
EniTORH AND PURURHERH.
DON'T FLUNK.
Wc are not in the least concerned
over the rumor that many of the white
voters of Georgia who supported Hoke
Smith for Governor in the recent cam
paign will flunk when the October elec
tion comeH around and give their sup
port to Yancey Carter. A few sore
heads may do so, hut there are not
enough of them to materially reduce
the majority usually given the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor in this
State, and there is no reason to doubt
that Hon. Job. M. Brown will receive
the full vote of his party. Hearst’s
candidate for Governor is simply im
possible, from any point of view, and
it is a safe prediction that he will
be snowed under beyond the hope of
resurrection.
While upon this subject it is pertinent
to quote what Tom Watson said in a
recent issue of his paper. The Jeffer
sonian, concerning the duty of those
who participated in the late primary-
pertinent because it applies with equal
force to soreheud Democrats as well as
to J’opulists. Speaking on this question
The Jeffersonian says:
“However much we may differ in
other matters, we should be able to
agree that honesty ought to prevail in
politics as in business. Practically all
of the qualified white voters of the
State took part in the June primary.
Nobody has claimed that the result was
influenced by fraud, bribery or intimi
dation. The defeated candidate ac
cepted his defeat without protest. He
put forth no claim that he had been un
fairly beaten. Therefore, practically
all the white voters of Georgia are
bound, in honor, to vote for Jos. M.
Brown. The man who took part in the
June primary and now opposes Brown
is not politically honest. In like man
ner, the followers of Smith and Brown
are bound to vote for the adoption of
the amendment to the Constitution
which disfranchises the negroes. Both
sides promised to support the amend
ment, both sides got the benefit of that
promise, and both are honor bound by
the pledge.”
We believe ihat the State Democratic
executive Committee, at its meeting
to-morrow, would do the party a service
by declaring that all white voters who
participated in the State primary will
be expected to support the nominees
in the general election, and that failure
so to do will debar them from voting in
any Democratic primary hereafter.
When the Democratic party throws
open its doors to all white voters, re
gardless of past political affiliations,
and invites them to take part in its
nominations, the party has a right to
expect fair treatment at the hands of
the mugwumps. This thing of playing
fast and loose between the primury and
the election should be stopped.
There are fower persons on the Fed
eral pension roll now than at any pe
riod within the past fifteen years, the
number being only 1151,(587. High-water
mark was reached in 1904. when there
were more than 1,000,000 on the roll.
In twenty years- from 1880 to 1900—
the number of pensioners increased
from 250,000 to 993,000. Since 1866
the Government has paid out for pen
sions the enormous sum of $3,600,000, -
000, annual disbursements in recent
years averaging $140,000,000 per an
num, or more than the yearly cost of
maintaining the navy.
Six months in the penitentiary was
the sentence imposed on a negro
preacher in Newark, N. J., the other
day for having kissed a 15-year-old
white girl. The negro tiled a plea of
justification, affirming that the caress
was a “holy kiss,” such as is spoken of
in the Scriptures; but the court ruled
out his plea and sent him to the peni
tentiary.
The internal revenue collected in
July was $22,029,316, being $2,899,508
less than in July, 1907. A noteworthy
decrease was $216,149 in the receipts
from the retail dealers’ special tax. in
dicating that 8,64(5 retail liquor dealers
went out of business in July, largely
because of prohibition legislation in the
various States.
A resolution condemning all newspa
pers in the State that print liquor ad
vertisements was passed by the Geor
gia 1 armors’ Union at the recent State
meeting in Macon. The Union is
strongly opposed as an organization to
the liquor traffic, and is standing as a
unit back of the prohibition law in this
Si t.

Newnan and Franklin Railroad Being
Surveyed.
Franklin News and Banner. 28th ult.
The News and Banner has not said
much lately about just what was being
done in railroad matters. We stated,
however, more than a year ago that the
people were getting ripe on this impor
tant matter and were moving on the
right lines. There have been many rail
road movements in the county, but they
always ended with a little talk. Noth
ing really tangible was ever done.
Some time ago, as announced by The
News and Banner, it was decided to
make a survey of the route to Newnan,
ami if this is satisfactory, and every
body along the line will do their full
duty, it is probable no other survey
will be made, but that the road will be
built on that line. It is evident that
the cheapest and most practicable line
can be built to Newnan, and later be
extended to Standing Rock, Ala., which
is contemplated.
Mr. C. R. Pittman, with a well-or
ganized corps, started this survey Sat
urday. While it is proposed to have
the Franklin terminals near the river
back of the oil mill and fertilizer fac
tory, the zero limit is near the court
house and on out Mulberry street, pass
ing just west of the oil mill buildings,
rounding Dr. Daniel’s and crossing the
hill north of Mr. J. C. Lumpkin’s resi
dence in a saddle which seems left by
nature especially for that purpose, and
jumps the corporate limits branch on a
short trestle and fill of some twenty
feet in height—believed to be the high
est fill on the whole route, which is to
be surveyed on a gradient of one and
a half per cent, and eight per cent,
curves, giving a standard of first-class
roadbed.
Beyond the corporate limits branch
the line runs on the hillside just above
high water out on a natural fill through
the Lumpkin bottoms and the Hendrick
plantation. It is believed that the line
will go near Handy and Welcome in
Coweta, but will run of course where
the instruments show the best and
cheapest line.
Frunklin’s interest in the matter was
shown Friday night. When the com
mittee recently appointed to raise the
money necessary to make the survey
reported nothing done, the few who
had assembled in the Ordinary’s office
put their heads together, and in a very
short while nearly a thousand dollars
was in sight to start with. Others will
be seen, and The News and Banner will
be enabled to publish a complete list of
the subscribers to the fund in the next
issue.
It is desired that every citizen and
property-holder of the community have
a chance to assist in this great enter
prise. It should not be borne by a few.
Most of the leading property-holders
have done their duty well. Now let all
chip in and help to the fullest extent
of their ability, and it will mean that
Heard county will have a railroad—if
not from Newnan, then from some oth
er point which will fully answer all
purposes. What Heard county needs is
a railroad. That accomplished, nooth-
cr county in the State can outstrip her
in progress and rapid advancement on
all lines of development of natural re
sources and permanent growth. Every
citizen of the county, therefore, should
feel an interest in it and lend his aid
to push it.
Just exactly what will be the out
growth of this survey is not yet known.
It may run into Newnan, and may go
on to Union City and connect with the
A. & W. P. and the A., B. & A. at that
point, crossing and connecting with the
Central about three miles west of
Newnan. It will take some three or
four weeks to make a first-class and
complete survey of the route, and in
the meantime it will be necessary to
be at work on other important features
of the enterprise.

Gen. A. P. Stewart Claimed by Death.
Biloxi, Miss., Aug. 31.--Gen. Alex
ander P. Stewart, one of the last two
surviving lieutenant-generals of the
Confederate States Army, died at his
home here yeUerday. Although in his
S7_th year and suffering from the infir
mities of old age Gen. Stewart’s death
was sudden, and came as a distinct
shock to his relatives, comrades and
friends.
Only three months ago Stephen D.
Lee, commander-in-chief of the United
Confederate Veterans, who held the
commission of lieutenant-general in
the Confederacy, answered the last
roll-call, and his death left only two
officers of the Confederacy of equal
rank. These were Gen. Stewart and
Gen. Simon Boilvar Buckner, of Ken
tucky. Gen. Stewart’s death, there
fore, leaves Gen. Buckner as the only
surviving lieutenant-gneral of the Con
federate army.

Dear Sir; Ten years ago there was
one pure paint and 200 adulterated;
there are now eight pure, 200 adulter
ated, about half of the latter short-
measure besides.
There is still but one best, and the
difference is ten gallons Devoe goes as
far as eleven next best -$5 -in every
ton gallons.
A new word has come u. in paint; it
is strong. Strong paint goes further
and wears longer; weak paint takes
more gallons and wears out sooner.
The proper cost for a 1 -gallon job is
