How this republican rna Jonty Is obtained Is Illustrated by the following: In West Chester are located the ■ works of the Charples Separator ! Works, oj which Millionaire I>. M. j ! Hharplcs Is president, employing I, O<TO men. Sharpies Is a republican, and of course desires the success of bis parly tloket. To this end he make* Ms men \ote the republican ticket. Mow does he do 11? In his mill th pillowing placard has been posted, bearing ills own signature: The blight of the possibility of the success of Hryanlsm Is now upon us Meti era reoelved every day from our former best customers, Who should be ordering out thousands of a«p sraiorn at the present time, are re fusing to place orders for fear Bryan will be elected. Th- possibility of such a dlro calamity to us as his election seems remote, but the hour we are con vlnc«d such ii thing will occur, or has occurred, that’ hour these works will have to clot>» down until the stock of tubular separators we carry Is reduced by sale* three-quarters. Tbl* will be done as a matter of self preservation, and with as great re grei a* any employee could possibly have here for the necessity." In the threat hi miikes here Mr. Sharpie* docs not toll the truth. PepiirdlesH of who Is floated hi» works will be operated according to Ihe biislnet demands. If Taft be elected and their manufactured stook scciimnliite, the production would ba slopped for u time; and If nryan lie elected and the stock on hand did not accumulate, production would bn , continued. And the elecilnn of nelth-! er ot these candidates would affect i lhe demand of the mills’ products, since lhut depends upon other condl llotis. So Mr. Sharpies prevaricated In ihe threat he made to forbe hi* employees to vote hk he dictated. llov>«v«r, the ibreal was effective.

The voting for the state election w»s not such a hard Job. for all th - ticket wa* such a long one The theimhifulne.r of somebody hod pre pared an official democratic ballot, w hied whs the only ballot at most polling plan*, and which was in com plcte er.!. - far being put In the box from top to bottom, with the excep tion of the office of potisnn comnit*- •loncr. Hut the ticket was a long one, even as prepared with it* single row of names and after having stretched it out it. full length and locked over th* Imposing array ol name*, many voter* .1 itbtles* felt like the T<-:fa!r Entsrprt* which. i • dll • a i. led ' We w.-m It blind In voting for that long list of Judge* and * dtc- Thcre wa* rea'ly nothing ; v < confuse In th« long lUt of judge* and solicit or*.

In w th. men and knew or were supposed to know what they were doing when they made the nom tuatlou Hacing the name* of all these i local officers on the state ticket and bv this means making It of such pro digious length was a wise precaution adopted some years ago to prevent the election of an inden indent. If in any circuit an Independent should be nominated, the machine would simply ioave him off the "official' ballot and substitute for it the name of the 'regular'' candidate, and the latter would be elected Just as It was done last week This L not voting blindly, but with the full knowledge that a man Is being voted for who If acceptable to the powers that be. This system works all right so long as the powers that be are with the people, but It will work all wrong if ever they are not. It Is certainly not democratic. Where the voters illd vote blindly was in voting for prison commission er. Here were six names, live of which the majority of the voter* had never heard before. To choose be tween them was Indeed voting blind ly. The pres.-m incumbent being more generally known received a majority of the votes, for most peo ple prefer voting for a man whose name at least they know to voting for Homebody whoso name they had never li££rd before. But those who really opposed the present Incumbent could only mark their ballot arbitrari ly. It was voting blindly, sure enough Yet how ran this matter be reme died? When the state Is so large, the, time and eost required to cover It In person or through the malls Is so gr»at a* to make this practically Im possible. Hence there seems no other way, under a really democratic sys tern, to avoid the voter* having to vote blindly for state officers In all cases In which there is opposition without a complete and systematic ( canvass of the entire state preceding j the election. GIVING CREDIT NOT DUE. "(live unto Caesar ihe things that arc Caesar’s" Involves a principle of right. Every man should be given Mh just deserts and every cause should bo given ull the credit to de serve*. "Give even the devil his due." But that doesn’t mean that anybody should be glvun more than his due, or any cause should be given credit that does noj justly belong to it. To give credit that U not due 1* as bad as to withhold credit that Is dd« Yet zeal oftgu leads men to commit this wroug who would not deny full credit where It was due. The Atlanta Georgian Is an ardent prohibitionist. It has always fought for prohibition, and has done Its full part In bringing prohibition—such as we have —to our state. The Georgian really believes that prohibition is a good thing, and that It is possible— many other good people believe the same. And this being its faith The Georgian tries to embrace evory op poriunlty that presents Itself to exalt prohibition. So now It comes with a wonderful slorv lo show one of th - good effects the operation of our prohibition iaw has had "A slgnlllcanl atory.” says The Georgian, "comes from the cotton fields of Georgia, a story that Is al most a* strange as would he the state ment that Kansas had more harvest hands ihan It could use. For the first time In many years so many few re member when It was otherwise—she report oonios that there Is plenty of labor for the notion harvost." This The Georgian would have its confiding readers believe i* duo lo the opera- | tlon of the prohibition law. Isn't this claiming too much, ami giving credit where no credit Is due? It Is true that this year there has not been the usual difficulty in Georgia In getting the cotton crop picked promptly But wn* not this due to other cruises HUd not to prohtblllonT The cotton crop Is very sho»t Most farmer* will not gather more than half a crop, and there Is no douht that throughout the state the yield will be at -oast one third off Now It is but a simple mathematical problem to figure out that an equal number of hands can do two-thirds the regular work In less time than they can do the regular task Wifti hands enough to pick 1.360,000 bales promptly, If then chance to he 2,000.000 bales to pick and no more hands to do It, the job will be a longer one and there will he a sAtrcity of hands during the picking season. This It exactly the situation. With only a half crop and the same nun her ct hands It can be easily under stood why there should not have bean ih«- usual lack of cotton pickers. In addition to this the cotton picking forces were Increased by the stoppage cf many lumber mills and other In dustrial plant*, and In addition to all this the present season has been most favorable for picking Since cotton h.-gan to open there has been prac tically no ratn. whereas some years there is much rain to Interfere with the work of picking There has been plenty of labor for the cotton harvest this year because the harvest was small, the force of laborer* large, and the weather cond! tlons phenomenally favorable Pro hibition had nothing to do with It. How could It? Nearly all the cot ton producing counties were dry be fore the prohibition law was enacted. Then the people In those counties j were supplied by the Jug trade of other Georgia cltl<» Now this Jug ! trade t* supplied by cities of other 'states Ho far as concerns the former dry counties liquor Is just a* accessi ble n* It was before In the cities formerly wet and now dry the bar ‘ room* have been closed and blind tiger* have taken their place The blind tiger* are a* numerous now a* ware the barroom* then, and they are operated as openly and during longer hour*.

THE AUGUSTA HERAXD As with all true fighters, Mr. Bry an's fighting spirit waxes warmer as the combat deepens, and he strikes hf-rder and surer. No foul blows, no * wild attacks mar his war are, but with steady nerves and clear head he gath e-rsc his strength for the fray and j drives straight at the h -art of the j enemy’s defense, it is leas than four weeks to the national election, and j the campaign has reached the stage i that shows a man a fighter, a quitter j"r a dodger. Even Mr. Taft has warmed up a bit, but his mettle Is | s-hown In the loss of temper and the i term of abUße, rather tlu-n in the ; straight blow from the shoulder and square attack on the enemy's lines. The fight Is on, and is lost or won jin the few weeks now remaining. Mr. i Bryan In his lowa speeches Is seen I at. Ills fighting best, battling for de : mocracy with all the brilliancy, force and dkill of his ripened prime. As usual, he says three words for the democra'ic party to one for himself, but he may be pardoned for the fol lowing expression regarding his tri umph over slander and contempt; , I present myself as an example of one who has outlived the venomous attacks of his opponents.

The exigencies of gravity compelled the river Danube to flow through the country, which probably accounted for its well-known tendenoy to feel blue. On the north Bulgaria was bounded by soldiers, on the south by more soldiers, and on the east and west by other soldiers. The princi pal occupation of the population was calling one another names. Other in dustries were enrolling in the volun teer force when tickled with a bayo net, and taking holidays. The history of Bulgaria is a long tale of oppression, but the proud peo ple of the Balkans could not brook going to work, and were now ready to dash the iron heel of the oppres sor from its place in their homes Likewise they would let Europe know that they would nail their col ors to the mast and let the ship sink under I heir feet before they would climb down from the mountain heights of liberty upon which they had taken their stand.

At Tjttjak we heard that an agent of the Monopoly Slickski (Rouuielian branch of the Standard Oil company) had been executed for falling to contribute to the campaign fund, but we dismiss ed the stor. as a baseless rumor.
