THE HOUSEWIFE AND THE FLY
"Don't come Into my parlor,” salil tho Housewife
to the Fly;
‘There's u screen at every window and your en
trance 1 defy.
There are microbes in your footsteps and u crust
upon your heud,
Which, If not so microscopic, would fill our hearts
with dread.
'You carry germs of typhoid and spread con
sumption’s bane,
And our sanitary teachorw piint your Crimea In
lanjruoi?e plain.
Don’t come into my parlor; and for safety I would
pray
If you walked Into iny dining-room upon somo
sunny day.
"There are Bocals of vile distemper hidden In your
tiny wings.
And your many feet have traveled over nameless
filthy things;
You’re a menace to our safety, you aro powerful
though smnll,
And the mischief you accomplish would the brav
est heart appall.
"If you enter, I have poiRon all prepared for you
to out,
And puper spread to tangle your germ-laden
wings and feet.
I will poison, trap or smash you if you do not
leave my door;
For our modern sanitation will enduro your calls
no more.” ““LA. E. Dyer.
Theodore Roosevelt.
'Savoyard” in Mucon Telegraph.
I am sorry that I cannot agree with
my good friehd, Knott, in his estimate
of Col. Roosevelt, though I am ready
to admit that he is tho most popular
American who ever lived, and that he
also has received more flattery and adu
lation than any other human being who
ever lived. Go out on the highway, in
town or country, and accost the first
damphool you meet, and the chances
are seven out of a possible ten that he
will tell you that Teddy has a stronger
hand than Caesar and a finer brain than
Bacon, more patriotism than Tell, and
more honesty than the law allows any
body else to have. /•
I don’t believe any such stuff. I think
Mr. Roosevelt is fashioned of clay, and
very common clay at that. I am sure
that he is more mud than marble. I am
convinced that the only true picture of
the man yet is that limned by Annie
Riley Hale, of Tennessee, the most in
tellectual woman I ever saw, or ever
expect to see. And the inexorable his
torian that will come from a remote
generation will not omit to take a long
look at the picture Mrs. Hale draws of
Teddy.
The Louisville Post is viciously hos
tile* to the Taft administration, that, in
my humble opinion, is the very best
Republican administration we ever had.
Gertainly.it is the only one that ever
recognized the South as a full sister,
and not a step-daughter, pf the nation
al household. Did Roosevelt so look on
the South?
I’ll tell you.
When the people of Indianola, Miss. ‘
expressed dissatisfaction with a negro
postmaster, Theodore Roosevelt, in
contemptuous defiance of the plain law
of the land, abolished the office. Had
Andy Johnson done anything like
that the impeachment proceedings
against him would have resulted
in a conviction. Sooner than treat
Zanesville, Ohio, as he .treated In
dianola, Miss., Teddy would have ta
ken a raging Bengal tiger by the
throat. He was as sectional a Presi
dent as Hayes or Harrison. He did not
believe the South was entitled to the
same treatment he meted out to the
North.
He forced the negro Crum on Charles
ton because it was Charleston. He
would no more have acted that way to
wards either Portland—that on the At
lantic side or that on the Pacific—one in
the Republican State of Maine and the
other in the Republican State of Ore
gon—than he would have taken to bed
with him a venomous cobra of the In
dian jungle.
Hence, he writ himself down a bully
to punish Charleston simply because it
is Charleston. Now I want to Bee the
Southern Democrat who will toss up his
cap in the air in honor of this Gessler.
But how about Tennessee Coal and
Iron? I’ll tell you. Col. Roosevelt, Pres
ident, posed as the only great, original
and genuine octopus-chaser. He kept
the country in hot water for seven years.
He never touched an octopus. Show me
one trust he ever harmed. He thun
dered in the index. He marched up the
hill with 40,000 men, and then marched
down again. As a carpet knight he was
simply Buperb, and could look and talk
the reformer as never man did before.
As President he was the very essence
and incarnation of the Turveydrop of
reform.
Well, there was a panic in 1907, not
withstanding the blessed and divine tar
iff. Some folks were ill-mannered
enough to call it a “Roosevelt panic.”
It brought unnumbered disasters to the
financial and commercial world. Mil
lions crumbled into thousands, and
thousands dwindled into nothing. The
very devil was to pay.
There was the Sherman anti-trust
law that was very embarrassing to mo
nopoly. The Steel Trust had one com
petitor, (the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company,) that the panic hit hard.
Here was thg opportunity of the Steel
Trust, and it came down to Washing
ton at the hour of midnight, and after
a long conference with President Roose
velt, he granted the Bteel men immuni
ty, and licensed them to violate the
law and buy and absorb their only rival
—the Tennessee Cqal and Iron Compa
ny.
The Louisville Post has not one word
to say of Col. Roosevelt’s exploit of
the “My Dear l-Iurriman” letter. What
was that letter? Harriman was the
most brilliant, the most adroit, the most
successful monopolist since Midas.
Judge barker got the information in
confidence that the trusts would buy
the election for Roosevelt as they had
for McKinley. Roosevelt made a speech
in which he denounced Parker as a liar.
When he made that speech the ink was
not dry on a letter he had written Har
dman asking him for $250,000 boodle to
buy the electoral vote of New York,
for that is what the letter meant, and
all it meant. ■ Harriman raised the
boodle all right and gave it.
And this is the man tho American
people are ready to fall down and wor
ship. He will be the next President if
he wants the job. He is thoroughly
persuaded of his own infallibility, and
his utter incapacity to do wrong. Be
fore he dies, he will be firm in the opin
ion of his divine right to rule this coun
try, and then we will have the empire,
unless
Only Two Left.
Meriwether Vindicator. (
Rapidly they are falling by the way-
side of earth; speedily they are gather
ing on fame’s eternal camping-ground.
The serried ranks of Lee’s army are
filling the courts of heaven. • The main
body of the gallant troops are marching
the Golden Streets. A few stragglere
are left behind. Soon they too will an
swer the roll-call on high, and then the
gallant heroes who followed the for
tunes of the Lost Cause and furled tho
Stars and Bars 1 at Appomattox will only
be a memory—a memory sweet and
precious, which will not wax and wane
in Southern hearts, but live and
flourish as a laurel crown of glory un
til the triumph of God shall sound the
end of time.
A few years ago, when Meriwhether’s
new court-house was completed, every
office in it, save one, was presided over
by a veteran of the sixties. Now only
two are left. The pale messenger,
Deathh. has claimed three, and one has
voluntarily retired to the shades of pri
vate life.
Judge R. M. McCaslan was first to
answer the summons; Hon. R. D. Adair
next, and Judge A. J. Hinton the last
After a life well spent in the service
of the county, part in tho conflict of
war and part in time of peace, they fell
on sleep.
Mr. J. C. Maffett, who served the
county so long and so faithfully in the
capacity of Sheriff, voluntarily r.etired
from office with the plaudit "well done 1
ringing in his ears from the lips of
the best constituency on earth.
Mr. S. F. Culpepper, Clerk of the
Superior Court, and Mr. H. P. Blalock,
Clerk of the Board of County Commis
sioners, are the only ones left in the
court-house to tell of tho defeats and
triumphs of the bravest soldiery that
ever fought under the banner of war.
Each was “the bravest of the brave’’
in times that tried men’s souls, and each
one is a faithful and efficient public
official. 'No county over had two truer
men nor better officials than Sim F,
Culpepper and H. Polk Blalock. They
will, by the consent of the majority of
Meriwether’s voters, remain in office
until the trumpet calls them to join their
comrades in the Great Beyond.
The only two left—worthy represen
tatives of a gallant host.

An Excellent Suggestion.
Savannah Press.
The suggestion of Judge A. T. Fort,
Ordinary of Stewart county, that the
present method of electing JudgeB of
the Superior Courts of this State be
changed, and that they ho appointed by
the Governor and approved by the Gen
eral Assembly, for the term of six
years, has one excellent feature that
cannot fail to be compared with the old
system of election by tho Legislature.
As tho Governor is not in office more
than four years at one time, it would
be impossible for him to use such ap
pointing power to strengthen himself
by this patronage. This point is worthy
of consideration, if any change in the
present method is proposed by the Leg
islature.—Macon Telegraph.
The problem of the election of Judges
is an intricate one. During its politi
cal history tho State of Georgia has
tried all three methods, and no one of
them is ideal. Everybody remembers
the log-rolling in the Legislature when
tho election of the judiciary was placed
in the hands of the Representatives. It
became an open scandal and the transi
tion from that method even to elec
tion by the peoplo was easy and nat
ural. Of course, there is objection to
the present method, ’i’he statement
that the criminal class after all con
trols a large number of votes is true.
There are difficulties on this side, but
the people saw that there were scan
dals in other methods, and dangerous
as this experiment was, they preferred
to take the matter in their own hands
rather than leave It any longer with
the Governor or Legislature.
When the Constitutional Convention
of 1877 met tho patronage system of
Georgia, which was then in the hands
of the Governor, had been overworked.
It was charged that Governors of Geor
gia had erected huge political machines
and that judicial appointments were be
ing used as stepping-stones in politics.
This was felt to be intolerable. It is
true, as the Macon Telegraph says,
that the preBent Governor of Georgia
is only in office four years, but the av
erage Governor of Georgia is a candi
date for the United States Senate, and
he will see about filling vacancies and
moving up men in a way that will help
his political ambition. It was not so
long ago that juggling with judicial
appointments was charged — that is,
with appointments to fill vacancies.
The possibilities along this line are im
mense and servo to create the impres
sion that a shrewd political Governor
could manipulate Judgeships in a way
to make tho judicious grieve. There is
one thing about the election of Judges
by the peoplo; it creates interest among
the best class of lawyers and tho best
class of people. This is true in New
York. It puts tho doctors to work and
makes the profession and people busy.
So the question has been raised in
Georgia, when we think of what has
been and what may be, whether it is
not better to bear the ills we havo than
fly to others we know not of.

Mrs. A. M. Askew, 25 Willcoxon St.,
Newnan, Ga., says: “I cannot hesitate
to recommend so valuable a remedy as
Doan's Kidney Pills. For a long time
piy daughter, eleven years of age, was
annoyed by the imperfect action of the
kidneys. The secretions were much too
frequent and at times caused a burning
sensation during passage. One box of
Doan’s Kidney Pills, which were pro
cured at Lee Bros’, drug store, entirely
corrected the difficulty and there has
been no return of it since.”

Cotlon nnd Cotton Oil Now«.
As was to be expected, the Federal
grand jury in Now York has returned
an indictment against James A. Patten,
Frank B. Hnyne, W. P. Brown, E. G.
Scales and M. H. Rothschilds for en-
denvoring to corner tho cotton market
and force prices up. It is remarkable
that the short interests of New Eng
land, Europe and New York City havo
systematically pooled their issues to
force the cotton market down, and have
been successful in their efforts for
years, but our patriotic and zealous
Federal authorities have never discov
ered any restraint of trade in this
transaction.
When the New York and New Eng
land “boars” sold themselves up to
their necks in May cotton in New York
in January, und found they could not
check the upward tendency of the mar
ket, they became desperate and laid
plans to have tho law intervene to save
themselves, at the cost of the cotton
planter. We have the name of at least
one New York “bear” who promulga
ted a circular letter invoking the senti
ment of the country against the unjust
treatment of the poor spinner, and
those dependent op him, suggesting tho
anti-trust law as the final and last rem
edy.
What about the poor man with the
hoe? . ■ ;t v
Tho men above indicted immediately
gave bond, ahd proceeded to buy the
market up.
For the first time in the history of
cotton a successful “bull” campaign
has been waged on the tail-end of a
short crop. For tho first time in the
history of cotton the planter has been
able to get something near its value
every week since tho market opened
last September, and the men who have
been indicted for buying up the market
are solely responsible for such condi
tions; yet we undertake to Bay that tho
consuming world—the Bpinners—have
tory friends enough in the South, mis
led by fanatical demagogues, to con
demn these men for supporting the
market, in what they would ignorantly
term gambling.
The “bears” have shot their last
wad, and it 1b up to tho people of the
South to retaliate in no uncertain terms
for tho attempted outrage.
To that end Cotton and Cotton Oil
Nows will publish full details and
names of all parties to the conspiracy
as soon as they can bo obtained. It
matters not to us whom it may help or
whom it may hurt. This paper has a
mission and a service to perform to the
cotton planters and the people of tho
South generally, and will not shirk its
duty, no matter how much the cost,
pecuniarily or otherwise.

Mark Twain, as an example of un
conscious humor, used to quote u Hart
ford woman, who said one day in the
late spring:
“My husband is the dearest fellow.
“ ‘Jim,’ I said to him this morning,
‘are you very hard up just now?’
“ ’I certainly am hard up,’ he replied
soberly. ‘This high cost of living is
terrible. I don’t know what I'm going
to do.’
" ’Then, Jim,'said I, ‘I’ll give up all
thought of going to the country for
July and August this year.'
“But the dear follow’s face changed,
and he said:
“ ‘Indeed, then, yeu won’t darling. I
thought you wanted to buy a hat with
an.aigretto or some such foolishness.
No, no, my darling—Jim can always
find the money to let his dear little wife
go to the country.’ ”

pletely upset the nerves if long continued.
