A Positive Houston Duty.
The Democrats of Houston conn
ty have now before them a politi
cal duty that has not appeared in
many years.
Since writing an article concern
ing the congressional election,
which -appears on our editorial
page, we have positive knowledge
that one F. W. Gano, of social
equality notoriety, a resident of
Fort Valley, is a candidate for con
gress.
He is not a nomioee, but simply
a self selected candidate. He has
caused to be printed and distribu
ted a circular letter, which is a di
rect appeal to the negroes—he
calls them republicans—of the
third district. He givesfigures of
the respective white and negro
population in the thirteen counties
of the third district. These figures
show the negro population in the
district to be about 44,000 in ex
cess of the white population.’ Upon
thes8 figures he claims that the re
publicans—negroes—should have
a representative in congress. That
he would be a correct representa
tive of the negroes we do not deny,
except that his skin is not black
This man, Gano, came to Hous
ton county several years ago, and
located at Fort Valley. His chief
business and association has been
with negroes, and it is a notorious
fact that his profits have been large.
That he has swindled the negroes
is not a point at issue, but that he
associates with them on a plane of
social equality is a fact that should
receive the emphatic condemna
tion of every correct citizen of the
county, white and black.
There is no fear that Mr. Lewis
will not be elected, nor that he will
not receive a large majority in
Houston, but the democrats owe it
to society, if not to politics, that
every vote available be cast for the
democratic nominee in condemna
tion of this man who has forgotten
the distinction of race in his eager
ness to get gain.
Every democrat who fails to vote
for Lewis on the 8th of November
next, endorses by that failure the
claims of this man of white skin
who admits negroes to his home
and parlor on the plane of social
equality.
The registration lists show that
the Houston vote can be a majority
of over nine hundred for Hon. E.
B. Lewis, andself-rsspectand con
demnation cf social equality de
mands that every democratic vote
should be so cast even if it requires
sacrifice of time and convenience.
Hake the Best of It.

Though complaints have been
common about harvest time each
year as far back as our memory
goes, they say the times now are
harder than ever before known.
It is true the price of cotton is
lower than at any other time with
in 40 years, but there have been
times when there were more mort
gage foreclosures, and more sher
iff’s sales.
It is true that money is scarce,
but it is also true that a large ma
jority of the farms are plentifully
supplied with food for man and
beast.
It is true that there is practically
no profit in cotton culture at the
present price, but it is also true
that the lands that produce cotton
will likewise produce oats, wheat,
rye, corn,sugar cane, peas, potatoes,
hay, and other articles that are
needed at home and abroad. Upon
these lands there also can be rais
ed horses, mules, cows, goats,
sheep, and hogs, all very useful and
necessary to man’s comfort.
Be the times ever so hard, and
money ever so scarce, man can and
will make a change. Adverse con
ditions will not always exist, else'
the power of reason and intelligent
action given man is of no account.
The land and climate oE Hous
ton is unsurpassed on the globe for
healthfulness and varied produc
tivenesses. Taking the nation aa
a whole, there is more money in it
than ever before, and those who
have it in abundance will use it
whenever opportunity to do so
profitably is prevented.
The people of Houston can pro
duce abundantly many things oth
er people want, and whan they sell
more than they bay, prosperity
will abide with them.
Be the pressure ever so heavy,
grumbling does not bring the cash,
nor will it pay the debts. A reso
lute determination to pull through
will be more serviceable than all
the complaints that can be uttered.
The creditor does not think
every man a rascal who fails to pay,
and we know many of them are as
liaient as they can be when the
true situation is clearly put before
them.
While this editor feels the pres
sure as sorely as any man, we be
lieve the turning point is near, and
that through the intelligence and
energy of our progressive farmers
prosperity is just ahead—waiting
to bless their efforts.
The Junior Social.
Though the weather was very in
clement, quite a large crowd of
children assembled at the home of
Judge A. C. Riley, last Friday
night, to hold the first social litera
ry and busiaess meeting of the
Janior League.
Promptly at half past seven the
meeting was opened with a song
“When the roll is called up yoD-
der.” The superintendent read the
12th chapter of Romans, and after
prayer the business was'begun.
Secretary, Miss Nena Bridger,
called the roll and read the min
utes. There were four names ad
ded to the roll, makine 25 members.
The next business was the elec
tion of the President. Master A.
C. Riley was nominated, and elect
ed by a large majority, and we feel
that he will make a good President
and discharge all the duties, usual
to his office, with diligence.
A leader under ekch department
was appointed and given a commit
tee, which are as follows: Depart
ment of Worship, Leader, Master
Courtney Hodges; his committee
consists of Rob Baldwin, Katie
Lou Howard, Mamie Houser, Gor
don Rodgers; Department of Prac
tice, Leader, Miss Eugenia Riley,
committee, Miss Marie Nunn, Kate
Hurst, Aileen Bridger, Master Sam
Nunn. Department of Instruc
tion and Entertainment, Leader W
Ira Nunn, committee, John
Hodges, Minor Smith, Gordon
Rogers,Jack Holtzclaw.
There being no other business,
the following literary program was
carried out.
Reading—A Thanksgiving Let
ter—Gena Riley.
Recitation—The “Old House
where we wed,”—Kate Hurst.
Instrumental Solo—“Mocking
bird,” Madie Davis.
Selection—“The Family Tree”
—Nena Bridger.
Recitation—J uliette Hurst.
Instrumental Solo—Kate Hurst.
Recitation—Madie Davis.
Recitation—Frederick Riley.
This program was an impromptu
one, but was carried out without a
mistake and was very interesting.
After the meeting adjourned, all
joined in manj social games, such
as children generally like.
It was nearly ten o’clock when
we were reminded by our supt.
that, “it was time for little folks to
be in bed,” so with regret we bade
our pleasant hostess “good night,”
and went home, resolving to make
our Junior League the best league
in our district.

The Thursday Afternoon Club.
Although the afternoon of Thurs
day, October 20, was inclement
and a fine mist was falling, the
members of the Thursday After

the reputation of being one of the

was the gueat of honor,
Our hostess is noted for her pro
ficiency in culinary art, and sure
ly on this occasion she sustained
the well deserved reputation. The
refreshments were simply exquis
ite.
Epicurus with all her philosophy
and luxurious taste could have
asked for nothing more. The
snowy damask, dainty china, beau
tiful flowers, with bright conversa
tion, and witty repartee combined,
made it one of the brightest, hap
piest afternoons the club has ever
enjoyed.
The Club will be entertained by
Mrs. H. M. Holtzclaw on Thursday,
Nov. 3rd. Sec. oe Club,
County Baptist Union.
As before stated, the Houston
County Baptist Union will be held
