COL. POTTLE CUTTING llOT IN
IN THE COLLAR.
SpnakinK to a small audience Tues
day at Vienna, Col. Joe I'ottle huh!
that an invitation had been sent him
and Hutth Dorsey to "come to Black-
shear and jointly address the voters,"
etc. Col. Pottle stated that he hail
promptly accepted the invitation, but
that Dorsey declined, Riving as his ex
cuse that "he (Pottle) did not have a
sufficiently formidable following in the
State to justify him (Dorsey) in meet
ing him (Pottle) in joint debate.”
We have been somewhat surprised
that Col. Pottle should display such
asperity as he has been doing in recent
attacks upon Dorsey. This incident
probably explains why the Colonel is so
hot in the collar, and why he has been
lambasting Dorsey so furiously in his
lato speeches. "Not a sufficiently for
midable following in the State!”
Rather unkind, to be sure, and we can’t
blame the Colonel for losing his temper;
—had we been in his place it would
have made us mad as blazes. Yet we
can’t blame Dorsey. He merely stated
a fact so obvious that everybody ex
cept the Colonel himself has known it
all along. And certainly Dorsey had
nothing to gain by giving his opponent
the opportunity of speaking to u Dor
sey crowd—for of course a largo ma
jority of thoso who might foregather
to listen to a joint dispute between
these worthy candidates would go to
hear DorBoy—not Pottle.
By the way, if Col. Pottle is so keen
for a "jint dispute” why doesn't he
challenge Gov. Harris, or Dr. Hurd-
mnn? Is it because he regards Dorsey
as the reul "lion in his path?” Maybe
so; but whether he does or not, the
people do —and the people are generally
right
Meanwhile the race for the Governor
ship goes merrily on, although Iwrsey
is the only one of the quartette who
seems to be having any fun.
LaGrange Graphic; “It is amusing
to see how the candidates for Governor
all fight Dorsey. Pottle directs his
attacks on Dorsey. Hardman opens
fire on Dorsey. Harris lets go hia
broadsides against Dorsey. All this
goes to show that there is a combina
tion to defeat Dorsey. Pottle does not
attack Hardman or Harris. Hardman
doeB not attack Pottle or Harris. Har
ris does not attack Hardman or Pottle.
The line-up is so palpable that it is
really amusing. But Dorsey has got
the whole gang on the run, and no
combination can overcome his popular
ity.”
The best that can be said for the
twenty-five lynchings that occurred in
the first half of 1916 is that they were
fewer than 1915, when thirty-four per
sons met violent deaths at the hands
of avenging mobs. Of those lynched
twenty-three were negroes and two
were whites. In the first six monthB
of 1915 there were twenty-four negroes
and ten whites lynched. Almost one-
third of the total lynchings occurred in
Georgia.
Is there anything else in Dorsey’s
platform besides the Frank case? —
Swainsboro Forest-Blade.
The "Frank case” doesn’t appear in
Dorsey’s platform at all, nor has he re
ferred to it in any of his speeches, so
far as we are advised; —but if any lit
tle muzzle-loader the size of The
Forest-Blade cares to take a shot at it
there will he no objection. Every time
the Frank case is mentioned it makes
votes for Dorsey.

Judge Hill, of Fulton Superior Court,
has refused a new trial to Victor Innes,
and declined also to reduce the bond of
Innes’ wife. Another victory for Dor
sey.
The Dorsey boom grows bigger and
bigger as it rolls along. Misguided
publications like the Macon Telegraph,
the Augusta Chronicle, and a few
other city papers that have been saying
Dorsey had nothing to "run on” except
the Frank case will be wondering after
Sept. 12 "how it happened.”
Hon. Hugh Dorsey, candidate for
Governor, will speak at LaGrange next
Friday night. At 10 a. m. Saturday,
11th inst., he will speak at Greenville,
and at 3 p. m. on the same day at
Manchester.

CASTOR IA
MR. HUGHES' SPEECH OF AC
CEPTANCE.
No doubt the more discreet among
his friends wish that ex-Justice Hughes
had maintained the silence that had
marked his course up to his nomination
by the Republican Convention, or that
he had nt least learned how to speak
before opening his mouth.
There is in this case another re
minder of the fable of the donkey ar
rayed in the lion's skin. As long as
the long-eared animal kept his peace
he was supposed to be a real lion; but
when ho at last opened his mouth, in
stead of the majestic roar of the lion
there came forth the sonorous bray of
the donkey.
It wus generally believed that Justice
Hughes was a statesman, not a par
tisan; but the address of acceptance
which he delivered in New York the
other night disabuses the public mind
of that impression. No one can be
much pleased with that speech except
the stand-patters of his own party. It
is nothing more than an attack upon
the administration of President Wilson
— an attack at once so unfair and so un
just that one can but think that u man
who could deliver such a tirade is unlit
for the Presidency.
Of course, nobody expects men to be
fair in polities, more's the pity; but a
man who is the trusted nominee of a great
purtv for the Presidency ought at least
to confine himself to a fair treatment
of the issues involved, and not merely
attack his opponent. Mr. Hughes
ought to know the mind of the Repub
lican party, and doubtless does know it,
and in this speech he may be only play
ing to the galleries and not speaking
his real sentiments. If so, he is too
hypocritical to be honest in the high
office of chief executive of the nation.

Fayetteville Ness: "It has never
been our policy to knock sny legitimate
business, hut it is a shame how foreign
•gents can come into our county and
take advantage of our people. Last
fall farmers in many parts of the coun
ty bought bacteria for crimson clover
and alfalfa and paid $2 per acre. In
May and June bacteria for nearly 500
acres of peas and velvet beans was
sold by agents for asout $1,000. You
can buy this bacteria from the Com
missioner of Agriculture, Atlanta, for
25 cents per acre. If ordered by mail
you send 0 cents for postage, thus sav
ing $1.75 per acre. The State sella it
at the cost uf manufacture, which is
25 cents. The ‘big’ farmers of the
State buy it from the State and say
they get results. The ‘little’ farmer
buys his from some agent he never
saw and pays $2 per acre. It would
have saved our fanners more than
$1,0X1 to have bought from the State
during the past twelve months. This
sum would have erected a church or
echool building. Next fall buy from
the Department or Agriculture."
