This world would be but one bleak and barreu desert did not these rernain- at-post-of-duty public teat suckers form an oasis around which the down trodden people cling with pug like tenacity.

Colonel Candler’s letter reply ing to Judge Atkinson’s challenge to a series.of joint debates was a knockout blow, and it wasn’tHie- low the belt either. Gainesville is the greatest pro duce market in the country.

The city cannot afford to let it remain as it was last summer. Uniform primarie^is what every body. wanted. Colonel Candler has long been in favor of them, and the State executive committee anticipated his desires, The Gainesville Chautauqua promises to be bigger and better than any held m Georgia. It will be liberally advertised and great crowds will be attracted, people of Gainesville never anything by halves. "-these, all these—-must after, and “my distin guished opponent is so unfair as to take advantage of my absence he j GO while I am so busy, oh so busy.” The demagogical letter is being sent out from Washington by the wholesale. The country is being flooded with such gush, slush and mush that the people are bored to death—tired to complete exhaust ion. Their credulity has been played upon to such an extent that they have at last caught on. They have been importuned until “forbearance has ceased to be a ! virtue”—they are sick and disgus ted . The connection in which some of the Tate organs refer to “Slick” Thompson is contemptible, and is beneath the dignity Of legitimate campaigning. Make your fight fairly, gentlemen, and stop your mud slinging. . If your candidate cant'.win by honest methods and decent campaigning for gracious sake cal'; him down. COLLEGE ENDOWMENTS. Elsewhere will be found a com munication which is of interest to the people not only of Hall county but of the state. It touches upon a matter which is of importance to every citizen who is interested in the advancement of higher ed ucation in Georgia. It bears* on the question submitted to the laft legislature providing for the sub mitting to the people of Georgia an amendment to the constitution exempting from taxation the en dowments of colleges in this state. Th9 policy of the great state of Georgia toward all educational institutions in the past has been that of friendliness. Its future policy will be the same as long as the people are permitted to express themselves. One change in the constitution, hew- ; ever, needs be made—that of j 7 ;changing it so as t * exempt from ■lordis Arriving daily. We c ly invite you to call and s them.

There is nothing unus ual about it only that it came a little late-—he allowed himself to be beaten by bis distinguished colleague, the Hon. Farish Carter Tate, who some weeks ago “ups an’ lows” about all Lon does, and t smears it all over the Ninth Con gressional district. MRS. J. E.

The*property belonging to Emory college, for instance, means perhaps $10(1,000, while its endowment is probably $800,000, so that the taxes paid on the en dowment is the bulk of the taxes paid by the college. As will be seen from the com-1 munication published elsewhere in i i this issue, the State Senate favored j the measure by a vote of 31 to 5; j the house committee on constitu tional ammendments recom mended its adoption by a unani mous vote; and the measure was A n d n fi {111 ill I £ i %* J loi y f\T J A Cordia Invitation is Extc Opening days March 31st and April o 1 . p T § % 3 I * Uf r \ A \ iitr- I?*- _ I _ i.LV 1 1 u -i.. j y V- ■ ;i el l Dear only defeated in the house by a Guano .

It is grati fying to know that the Presbyte rian church of Gainesville took up a special collection last Sunday which amounted to $12.60, which amount was forwarded to the Atlanta Journal and properly credited in the fund. The other churches of the city will no doubt contribute liberally, and it seems that it would be a good idea for the pastors to take up a special collection for this fund tomorrow. The Cracker will cheerfully take charge of any subscription sent in and forward it promptly to the proper parties. The friends of the measure hope to secure its passage at the next session,of the legislature, and the attention of the people of Hall county is called to it that they may instruct their representatives how to vote upon the question. ♦ Gainesville.

About the sixth of June he will find out that there are some common people in Georgia*—somebody besides ring masters and snap politicians. P.
