will elect a democratic government'
in 1924 if the people can be per
suaded to see the point.
The people of „the north and east
always vote business, and that
business is never in full accord
with the best interests of the south
and west.
The corporations, exporters and
manufacturers have grown rich
through the fostering care of the
high tariff and protective tariff has
sucked the life blood of southern
production and hindered the growth
of vital interests in the west,
Under the present administration
the republican administration is sO
great iu the House of Representa
tives that it is practically impos
sible for any measure primarily
favored by by the democrats to be
enacted into law.
There has been several instances
however, when 15 or 16 republican
Senators of the middle west joined
with the democrats of the south to
defeat a. measure that had been
passed by the republicans of the
Honse.
A notable instance was the mea*
sure to. “scrap” the nitrate plant
at Mussel Shoals, Ala.
Daring the Wilson administra
tion this pjiant was purchased by
the government hUd the construe 1 '
tion of a great water power, plant

which the plant should be used was
the manufacture of nitrate. The

There are many money crops
tthut the fannors of Georgia could
produce but do not. -
Georgians with collatenal can
borrow all the money they need.
Any banker can tell them now.
Since the material rise in the
price of cotton, the business hope
of the people is also rising.

Good comes to the country
whenever Congress places business
before party polities in their votes.
Verily, the U. S. Senator who
does the'most talking in the Sen
ate, has no legislation to ois credit.
It was not. legislation, or
finantcial help that caused the
increase in the price of potion.
It was. the short crop.
It would be well for the farmers
of the cotton belt to starve the
boll wevils by falling to plant any
ootton next year.

Ay and engaged in mortal’'combat wost republican Senators joined
with soveral thousand state troops the southern
‘and deputy sheriffs. In the corn- tl.e me as lire,
bats that continued for ten days or
more, about a dozen miners and
matorg
to defeat
half as many deputies were killed.
There were no indications that
the miners would be compelled or
■persuaded to disarm or disband. j
Then two regiments of the Unit
ed States army under the command
of a Brigadier General, were order
ed to the scene of the insurrection
and martial law was proclaimed
for the five counties embraced in
the disturbed territory.
The federal soldiers reached the
scene of the miners war. The min- j
ers wi hout firing a shot began to
disperse, at least 400 of them sur
rendering their arms and them
selves. I
Last Monday morning peace
prevailed.
Several months ago the several,
thousand miners working in the
rcoal mines in five counties in West
Virginia, refused to accept a reduc
tion' of pay and went out on a
^strike. The strike was by authori
ty of the miners union of which
they were members. The miners
not only quit work, but prevented
►others from taking their places.
■ ‘Then came the threats to destroy
the miners, and by state authority,
state troops and deputy sheriffs
were sent to guard the mines. The {
miners then armed themselves and !
Tbe ie republicans recognized
that the bill in question was aimed
directly at the agrictfltUralinterests
of the south and middle .west: The
promoters of the anti-nitrate bill
was in direct favor of the manu
facturers of the east, s V
Thus the middle west Senators
placed justice and business ahead
of party polities.
This can be done at any time
when as a matter of business the
south and middle west join forces.
Years ago iron workers were
advised to “strike while the iron
was hot.” In the case of the
West Virginia coal miners, their
striking made the iron too hot lor
their well-being or comfort.
