MltTOtlH ANIi 1-Oni.WnKKH. 1 ONSriTUJIONA'j AMFINDMUNTS 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. After being in session almost contin uously from the date of President Wil son's inauguration. Congress adjourned Saturday. This was the second session of the Sixty-third Congress, and, in the matter of legislation, ono of tho moat important ever held. Among the meas ures of general interest enacted into law were the following - Passed tho Federal Reserve Act, re vising the banking and currency laws. Repealed the exemption clause of the I’anamu canal Act, thereby imposing lolls upon American coastwise ships. Passed the Clayton anti trust Act, supplementing the Sherman anti-trust law, making guilt personal. Passed the hill creating the Federal Trade Commission. Provided $35,000,000 for a Govern ment railroad in Aluaku. Provided for American registry of foreign-built ships.' Received more thunfi.OOO nominations from the President Ratified twenty-six arbitration tria- ties. Appropriated $l,llf>,908,777.26 for the liscal year 1916. Adopted a resolution justifying tho President in sending troops to Mexico. Appropriated $500,000 to bring Amer icans out of the war zone in Mexico, and $2,750,000 to bring them out of the war zone in Europe. Broke up the lobby. Passed the alley hill, which Mis. Woodrow Wilspn had urged, to eltan up the slum sections of Washington. In session almost continuously 326 days, breaking the record of the first session of the Fiftieth Congress by twenty-five days. 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. Oct. 28th. 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. State Democratic Executive Committee. E. J.
