SATAN A-GINNING COTTON AT NIGHT Representative Moore Proposes Law to Stop Work After Darkness Arrives, Representative J. Threat Moore, of Butts, has discovered a significant and sinister connection between the high cost of living and the ginning of cotton in Georgia after sundown Having satisfied himself that Satan has a hand in this post-daylight gin ning business. Mr. Moore proposes to introduce a bill in the legislature at its forthcoming summer session providing that it shall be a high crime and mis demeanor to Indulge in that pastime tn the Empire state of the South Various persons have accused Mr. Moore of endeavoring in this proposed legislation to take a side-swipe at the colored brother, and to put cotton gins in the same catalogue with hen roosts, as proscribed excursion territory after the shades of night have fallen. Mt. Moore vigorously repels this sugges tion. and says that Cuffy is no more the object of Butts county's legislative wrath than any other person, regard less of race, color or previous condi tion of servitude. Mr. Moore affirms that his proposed law in no wise con flicts with either the fourteenth or fif teenth amendments to the Federal con stitution. Unfair to Creditors. The gentleman from Butts will pro pose his new law more in sorrow than iin anger. He feels that the high cost | of living.puts great and abiding temp- I tation in the way <>f some folks, and I that there are many planters—or. at I least, some —who seize upon the oppor tunity the darkness affords to gin their cotton and make a swift ante-daybreak get-away, in many instances leaving their long-suffering creditor.** sucking their thumbs and minus their right eous dues. Mr. Moore proposes, kindly but firm ly. to remove that temptation, and it is said that he will have the backing of numerous land owners and merchants in his benign undertaking.

The president was accused by with being responsible for Arg,.-«». Butt’s untimely end. beca usrThe, Mr. Taft, the commander-in-chief of the United States army, had (or dered Major Butt on a treason ous mission to the aged Italian gentleman who is called the pope. Colonel George Harvey, in Har per's Weekly, criticised President Taft for nis private message to the pope, and was quite as severe in his language as I was In mine. Colonel Harvey based hip strictures upon a cablegram which the Mar coni News Agency had sent out from Rome at the time Major Bor arrived there and was presented the pope. All the press dispatches carried the story, and the presi dent put forth no denial. President Taft never did deny it, until after Major Butt's death, and after other papers besides my owt were using the incident to his hurt Anothe' story is that I am bein prosecuted for having sent obscen literature through the mails. It >- - charged that some Latin quotatior in the May number of tny mag zine are obscene. If so. why not the government prosecute the publishers of the book from which I quoted?
