Ton proponed amendments to the
.State Constitution will ho voted on in
the general election next Tuesday
more than were ever before submitted at
■ me time. With the exception of three,
all the amendments wou’d only be of In
al effect if adopted. The amendments
proposed are as followa —
To extend the terms of members of
the General Assembly until the conven
ing of the succeeding session of the
legislature.
To provide for Representatives in the
House for counties not now provided
for, (meaning the proposed new coun
ties.)
To authorize the G«n«al Assembly
to abolish the office of County Treas
urer in any county of the State.
To provide for the election of all
county officers for a term of four years.
To provide additional compensation
for the Judge of tbe Superior Court of
the Macon circuit.
To abolish Justice Courts in cities
having more thpn 29,000 population,
and establish other courts in lieu there
of.
To create Bacon county out of Ap
pling, Pierce and Wart!, with Alma aa
the county-seat.
To create Barrow county out of Wal
ton, Cwinnett and Jackson, with Win
der bh the county-scat.
To create Candler county out of Bul
loch, Emanuel and Tattnall, with Mot-
tor as the county-seat.
To create Evans county out of Bul
loch and Tattnall, with Claxton aa the
county-seat.
To one of the amendments we are un
alterably opposed—that which proposes
to abolish the office of County Treas
urer. This little office, with its sular.v
of $1100 n year, has been a veritable
godsend to decrepit and poverty-strick
en old citizens of Coweta in years past,
and it should lie held open for them.
No person is allowed to hold the offico
longer than one term, and at each suc
ceeding election it is passed along to
some other dependent and deserving old
citizen. It ia one office that rotates au
tomatically in this county, and instances
have been rare where an incumbent Iihh
had the hardihood to offer for re-elec
tion. Those favored with the office for
one term are always willing for it to he
passed around, knowing that whoever
gets it will be some person equally as
dependent and needy as himself.
Don’t fail to vote against this amend
ment. It deserves to be killed.
(’ONGKI4SS A HJOUUNS.

WHAT OH 1H14 SOUTH?
While we are sending ship-loads of
Christinas presents to the orphaned
children of Europe, and contributing
millions for the Christianizing of hea
then lands, let us consider matters a
little nearer home.
A great section of our own country is
face to face with the possibility of
financial ruin. A gallant people are
making a heroic stand in the face of
overwhelming odds.
The South is not able to markrt its
cotton crop because of the war. And
for it* ready cash it depends largely
upon that crop. And without cash it
will be ruined.
There are msny millions of dollars to
tho North waiting for profitable invest
ment.
What better could the North do than
to aid tho South by buying its cotton
and holding it until the markets of the
world are again opened?
It would be a legitimate investment-
doubtless a profitable one — and a
brotherly action hy a prosperous sec
tion of the country in aid of another
section in distress.
It is not charity. The South does
not want that. It’s pride would not
consent.
But it would be good business sense.
And the South would welcome that.
We of America should think firat of
Americans.
In relieving the South you relieve
America— your country.
Within a few months thousands and
thousands of American horses, many of
them family pets, will be galloping into
the shrapnel and bayonets of Gorman
soldiers, tugging and straining at the
traces as they drag heavy artillery
over the half-frozen roads or lying
wounded, helpless and dying, on some
French, Belgian or German battlefield.
For, despite the peace talk, despite
the humane sentiment of our people,
and despite everything, train-load after
train-load of American horses are
leaving Chicago every day for Canada,
to he shipped to England. Other trains
leave St. I.ouis, Kansas City and Louis
ville daily for Now Orleans, whence
the horses are shipped to France.
Many a family pet will be bullet-
shattered, and will die a lingering
death in tho cold of the coming winter,
for there are no Red Cross societies to
care for wounded horses.
Some idea of the effect the European
war ia having on railroad traffic in the
South can be gained from the report of
tho Central of Georgia railway for Sep
tember, which has just been issued.
The operating revenues of the company
for the month of September were $975,-
441.66, compared to $1,249,458.09 for
the aumc month in 1913, making a de
crease of $274,016.43 when the two pe
riods are compared.
According to a report of the Cersus
Bureau, i-sued Monday, there had been
ginned up to Oct. 18, 7,610,683 bales of
cotton, as compared with 6,973,518 last
year. 6,874,206 in 1912, and 7,758,621 in
1911. The figures for Georgia show that
1,364,013 bales had been ginned up to
the same date, as compared v ith 1,290,-
911 in 1913, 793,143 in 1912, and 1,552,-
718 in 1911.
Tho drink bill of the United States
last year was $1,984,066,758. Of this
sum $260,000,000 was mainly spent for
coffee, tea, und cocoa, and $1,724,007,-
519 went for alcoholic drinks. This is
nearly $100 for each family of five per
sona.
Help tho furrner distribute his various
products and he will raise other things
besides cotton.
TURIN.
A tenant house on the farm of Mr.
G. 11. Urquhurt, near town, was de
stroyed by fire ono day last week. This,
added to his loss in the warehouse fire
on Tuesday of last week, falls pretty
heavily upon Mr. Urquhart, and he has
our sympathy.
On Sunday last Mrs. L. T. Moses and
Mrs. Margaret Gay were returning
from a visit to Mth. A. H. Young, near
Newnan, when the horse they were
driving became unmanageable and be
gan kicking, and both ladies were pain
fully hurt. Mrs. Gay emerged from
the accident with two broken fingers,
and Mrs. Moses also sustained painful
injuries. A young child in the vehicle
with them escaped injury. We are
glad to state that both ladies are re
covering from their hurts.
Many wells throughout this section
have “gone dry,” and people are find
ing it difficult to procure wholesome
water for drinking purposes.
The death of Rev. Mitt Jones,
reported in a recent issue of The Her
ald and Advertiser, caused us genuine
sorrow. The writer was his paHtor for
soveral years, and his devotion to the
church and to the cause of Christianity
won our love and admiration. May
God bless and comfort the bereaved
family in thoir affliction.
The cotton problem seems to puzzle
the speculator, the spinner, the hanker,
the merchant, the Governor, our Sena
tor and Congressmen, as well as the
poor farmer himself. Many remedies
have been suggested-so many, in fact,
that the farmer is troubled to know
just what is best to do. However, the
farmer may be depended on to pursue
a course that will conserve his own
interest, as well as that of the country
at large. For one thing, he will use less
guano another year, and he will buy
fewer mules. It is certain also that
the cotton acreage will be reduced, and
that the production of foodstuffs will
be largely increased. Likewise he will
raise more meat. This is the only
sensible plan for 1915, and the fanner
knows this as well as the multitude of
benevolent persons who ure now bor
ing him with their advice.
Fire broke out in the steam ginnery
at this place yesterday, and serious loss
was only averted by heroic work on the
part of our citizens. The fire is sup
posed to huve been caused by Rrit in
the cotton, and resulting friction ns it
was being run through the gins.
The cold snap to day, with accom
panying frost, played havoc with young
vegetation.

State Executive Comniittee Issues
Call to Democrats.
To the voters of Georgia: The Demo
cratic S'ate Executive Committee
earnestly calls on all loyal Democrats
throughout the State to see that a full
Democratic vote is brought out on the
3d of November. There are opposition
candidates ruimin'r for the Senate, and
in some districts for Congress.
The Democratic County Committees
are requested to see to it that we are
fully represented at every polling-
place, and that records are made and
kept of every man who voteH against
the party.
In this connection, they are again
reminded that a rule has been adopted
as a party law that no Democrat who
participated in the primary of Aug. 19
and votes against the nominees in
November shall be allowed to partici
pate in the primaries of 1916. The
committee must enforce this rule. It
is fair for all to understand it in ad
vance, and the aid of local Democrats
is requested in its enforcement.
