New Registration Will Disfranchise Many White Voters. James Callaway in Macon TeK graph. There were some during: the cam-' paigti of 1906 who opposed the disfran- chisement movement, preferring: our ideal system of a Democratic white primray, a system for which Virginia and North Carolina would have willing ly paid millions of dollars at the same time, fearing the Supreme Court would declare unconstitutional that device known as the “grandfather clause.” And if that clause was declared uncon stitutional, (and President Taft said in his 4th of March message that it would so declared,) then confusion would arise, as all educated negroes could vote and certain whites could not. But on the stump all over Georgia Mr. Hoke Smith assured the people that no white man would he cut off from the ballot. He declared that his disfrancisement bill was the white man’s protection. After this bill became a law it some how proved unsatisfactory to its authors. A new registration law was passed by the Legislature as one of Gov. Smith’s “policies.” At the time it was thought it was done for the purity of the ballot, and to cut olf ne gro voters who could qualify. Conse quently not much opposition was man ta drummers. But these farmer votes were not purchased that defeated Gov. Smith. The farmers acted like free men. So the cities and towns are to carry the next election, the farmers being practically disfranchised by the new law passed in the interest of the big cities and towns. This control by big cities and towns was a feature of Mr. Smith’s last campaign. The order, known as “Rule No. 8.” adopted by a partisan committee in Gov. Smith’s interest, exposed the grasp for auto cratic power—us much a weakness with Gov. Smith as love of sensation is a disease with Dr. Broughton. Gov. Brown recommended that the Legislature annul the now six months’ law and restore the old registration law, so as not to disfranchise the far mer vote; but the Legislature, under other influences, saw lit to continue the new law so as J.o give city and town voters the advantage over their country cousins. Do Not Decide Important Questions When Discouraged. Orison S. Marden in Success Magazine. I have often heard people in mature life say, “If 1 had only kept on as I had begun, if 1 had only persisted in carrying out mv ambition, 1 might have amounted to something and been infinitely happier.” Multitudes of people have led miser able lives of regret, with thwarted am bitions constantly torturing them, sim ply because, in a moment of weakness and discouragement, they turned hack. I know a number of talented young men and young women who went abroad to study music or art, and who returned home when they were dis couraged and homesick, only to regret it ever since. knowledge your mistake than to go on and sacrifice so much.” Whatever you do, or how heavy the burden, do not lay it down at such a time. No matter how dark the way, or how heavy the heart, wait until the “blue” depression or the discourage ment has passed before taking any de cided step. Official Programme U. I). C. for Sep tember.

What Federal ar- The Danger in Face Creams. 1 Philadelphia North American. "If women knew the danger that lurks in stale face creams they would exercise more caution in the use of these complexion aids,” said a well- known druggist. “People who would not think of em ploying rancid oil or stale fats of any kind simply as an application, seem to lose all fear of the same elements when they have been melted together in the form of a toilet preparation. “A cream, salve or ointment con taining various oils and greases is al lowed to remian on the dressing table lor a space varying all the way from two months to a year to be applied at irregular intervals. Of course, the temperature of the average house is not low enough to keep the preparation long fresh in winter, while in summer it will become unfit for use in a few hours. “You know what a disagreeable fla vor table oil takes on when kept long in a warm room or closet. “Actual eases of face cream poison ing are by no means rare. "The skin absorbs the rancid stulT with all its germs, and the latter pass slowly but surely into the blood. If there happens to bo an abrasion of the skin where the stale cream is applied, the results are much more rapidly de veloped. "The proper place for all such prepa rations is the refrigerator or other cool spots where perishable provisions are kept. “Every wise woman makes her own toilet cream, and under no considera tion will she keep cream longer than six weeks.” One man’s success may spell disaster for another. COWETA’S TWO OLDEST CHURCHES. EBENEZER (BAPTIST) CHURCH. COKE’S CHAPEL (METHODIST) CHURCH. These churches are located in the Sixth district, and were organized over seventy-five years ago. For a long period they were the leading churches of these de nominations in the county, each having a large and wealthy membership. ifesttd at the time. But the real ob ject in view Mr. Smith himself haa re vealed. In his reply to the Atlanta drummers who called on him in a body at his Peachtree street home a few days aeo, the ex-Governor said: “Only (riudulent balloting defeated us last year, and there are new regis tration laws now. These laws mean that no man can register falsely with out laying himself, open to very immi nent punishment. Pie will be ashore at our elections next year, for the new registration laws requiring one to reg ister six months before election will prevent buying of votes.” All this seems to nullify the declara tion that the disfranchisement act was for the white man’s benefit and protec tion. But who are the white men whom this new six months’ law will affect? The white voters of the cities? No; for they are of easy access to the registry books. What class of men will it cut off? Those remote from the registra tion books. Why was this done? Because it was the farmer vote, fhe country folks, who defeated Gov. Smith. The towns were more for him. fhe farmer vote elected Joe Brown. Although it was proclaimed that no white man would be disfranchised un der the disfranchisement bill, yet a sinister measure was put through the Legislature to practically disfranchise the farmer vote of Georgia, 'those farmers, remote from the registry books—seldom in town—no campaign on hand to incite them to register—are the ones whom trie new law will strike down. They are the ones, as ex-Gov. Smith says, who “will be ashore at our elections next year.” Why drive them ashore? Why set a trap to catch them, so that they be left ashore'' Because the farmer vote defeated Mr. Smith. The ex-Governor says the new six months’ law will prevent buying of votes. “A voter vuculd have too much time to change, you know,” said Mr. Smith, as he winked his other eye at Mr. Kelley, the leader of the Atlan- I have seen medical students with great enthusiasm, who became so dis heartened by the drudgery in anatomy and chemistry and the revolting -lights in the dissecting room, that they left college with disgust and went home, only to despise themselves ever after for not having the pluck to gu far enough to know whether they were really fitted for a physician’s career or not. Young men often go to law schools with the idea of becoming great law yers, hut. in trying to wade through Blackstone and Kent, they get com pletely discouraged and drop their studies, feeling that they are not cut out for lawyers. Boys who have never been away from home before sometimes go to col lege and decide, during a fit of acute homesickness, to throw up the whole thing and return home. They usually feel humiliated ever after for their cowardice and weakness. How many boys have gone back to their country homes from the city be cause of homesickness or discourage ment, when, if they had held out a lit tle longer till things brightened up, their whole careers would have been changed! How many young writers and artists, and young people learning trades, have given up in a moment of discour agement and gone into vocations against which their whole natures re belled, and did not change later be cause they were afraid of being laugh ed at, or were not sure enough of them selves, or did not have sufficient conti nence that they could hold out and would not give up again! If there is any time a person needs nerve, grit, and stamina, it is when temnted to turn back, when the coward voice within says, “Don’t you see how foolish it is for you to try to do this thing? You have not the means nor the strength. How foolish to sacrifice years of comfort and pleasure at home among the people who love you for the sake of doing what you have underta ken ! It is better to turn back and ac- seiuil did Gov. Brown next decide to take? Give an account of the seizure. 6. After the mooting of the second State Convention, what military meas ures were taken to strengthen the State and how many regiments did Gov. Brown organize? Of what Uni ted States mint did he take possession? 7. When President Davis asked Gov. Brown for a regiment of soldiers to go to Fort Pickens, Fla., how did the men show the ardor of their feelings? 8. The Governor’s message to the Legislature in 1861 showed how many regiments from Georgia in the field? To what do you attribute Georgia’s great majority of armed troops over other Southern States? 9. Relate the episode of the purchase of guns by a Macon firm which gave Georgia’s Governor a great reputation abroad. Upon what occasion did Presi dent Davis commend his promptitude in demanding the property from the Governor of New York? 10. Mention some of the grave prob lems before the Legislature of 1862. To encourage the raising of grain and meat what law was made? What were Gov. Brown’s views upon the conscript law? 11. In 1863, the Governor called for how many troops as home guards? Of what men was the body composed, with what were they armed, who was com mander, what was the name and how did it originate? 12. When Milledgeville was invaded by Federal forces, what efforts did Gov. Brown make to save the State property? Tell of the convict company organized bv Gov. Brown. Describe the last session of the Legislature held while Georgia waa a member of the Southern Confederacy. What was the value of Confederate money? What was the condition of the State at the end of the War? Tell of the arrest of Gov. Brown and his defense before An drew Johnson. Answers to questions may be found in “Georgia Land and People,” by Mitchell, and “History of Georgia,” by Evans. When the Exercises Began. J wig'). Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, can tell a humorous story as well as Mark Twain, and to get the real flavor of the fun in the following one should listen to it as it is told in his dry, inimitable way: "Sugar was sugar when I was a hoy. It cost from 25 cents to 30 cents a pound at that time, and children were not allowed to eat as much of it as they do nowadays. It v/as a rare occasion— sort of family event when a barrel of it was brought home. At such times I can well remember how the precious cask was solemnly conveyed to the big closet store-room under the stairway, rolled inside and the door carefully locked and the key turned over to the housekeeper. “One of the many tragedies of my boyhood occurred one fateful day when she accidentally forgot to lock that door! I sneaked into the closet to help myself to the sugar—got caught at it —and before 1 could get my head out of the barrel the—er—exercises be gan.” On3*day last Hummer a German en tered the establishment of a photog rapher in a Southern town, and after several glances about the place ob served mournfully that the photogra pher did not seem to have the proper ties essential to the taking of a picture he desired. ”J should like a picture of meseif veepiri’ peside my vife’s grafe,” he sairl. "Maype you fix a grafe here in de shop for me?” “I am afraid I haven't the necessary accessories,” said the photographer. Then, with an attempt at facetious ness, he suggested : “Couldn’t we arrange to have the portrait made at the grave itself?” “Dot’s in Bennsylvania,” sighed the German. “It vould be too exbenaive to go there. Yust you fix up some kind of a grafe here in de shop. I could veep on dot. It’s no trouble for me to veep anyvere.” If you are in a small place it may be because you won't fit in a big place.
