■ nBlllIl TBE fGAHSESVILLlS -NEWS,? v WEDNE isDAY SEj?XEMBEB 10, 1902- INDUSTRIAL Official Organ City of Gainesville Gainesville, Ga., sept., lO, 1902 A GOOD TIME TO BEGIN. There seems to be, a general de I . -> - ' - 5 1 ’A.. sire on the part of the citizens Gainesville to eliminate the negro from our city politics. This is jbealthy sentiment, and is in line with the plan adopted in nearly all the principal towns and cities of this state. That the negro has not been shut out long ago is our misfortune, for he has no place in the selection of those who admin ister the affairs of our municipal ity. He is here to be bought at so much per head, and the unscrupu lous politician, with plenty of the filthy lucre, can get him by paying the price, and thus demoralize the race, disgust the best citizens, tan talize the whole community, ana create untold friction where peace should abound. The sooner we eliminate the “brother in black,” the better for us ’twill be. This is no new idea to us, though some of our citizens have been long time getting to the point Five years ago, after a campaign of disgusting toadying to the negro for his vote by the opposing fac tions in a heated contest, this pa per phaded for a change from the vicious system. What was saic evidently fell upon deaf ears, for the practice has been kept up. anc is still in vogue. Whether change will now be made rests with the citizens. Vote buying and vote selling is an evil we must abate in some form or another. A good way to get rid of a heap of it in our city politics is to have a white pri mary. THE SUPREME COURT JUDGE- SHIP.
