Indian summer weather has been

Tom Watson is learning to be
sweet. He has contributed $250
to the national democratic cam
paign fund. He has also written a
letter to Mayor Stewart, of Savan

his term to pul Savannah back on

The run over race for governor
occurs next Wednesday. The
Tribune urges every friend of Mr.
Walker to come to the polls and
deposit his ballot. Georgia can’t
afford to pass him up for Hard
wick, the slacker wad. It would
be a travesty upon our boasted de
mocraey.
Atlanta is just now in the throes
of two Mentations. One is a wise
dog that can pick a dollar out of a
roll of bills at his master’s com
mand. The other is an 8-months
old girlie that has just cut a gold
tooth. Another evidence of At
lanta’s superiority over other com
munities —to the incredulous.
The Waycross Journal Herald is
amazed at the Kelly Simmon’s
story that “the best, meat sell for
17c. per pound in San Francisco,"
while ham sells for 65c. per pound
in Waycross. The .1. 11. asks Mr.
< )gden Acmour the question, “Why
the distinction 1 ?” Belcher Mr.
Armour doesn’t sell any meat in
California, as lie and the other
packets do in South Georgia.
The national democratic execu
live committee is soliciting con
tributions to the campaign fund.
Any amount will be thankfully re
reived. The editor of the Tribune
is authorized to receive and for
ward contributions from Atkinson
county. The causeof democracy is
is at stake, and the Republicans
gathering much money to defeat it.
We must not be sent away empty
i lauded.
Farmers never strike, but when
conditions are such that they can’t
get a living for their products,
there is no law to make them sell,
and at present prices, cotton seed
is the cheapest fertilizer on the
market, as well as the best. —
Sparks Eagle. But short-sighted
farmers continue to sell their cot
ton seed at the buyer's figures and
then buy commercial fertilizers at
the seller's price. And in the
transaction the farmer gets it in
the neck “acorning and agwine.”
A gentleman from Richmond
county makes this statement,
which may be prophesy: “Tom
Wat sou is very feeble and will
probably never take his seat in the
Failed States senate. In such
ease, if Mr. Walker is elected gov
ernor Mr. Dorsey will be asked to
accept the Seuatorship. If Mr.
Hardwick is elected governor
Hoke Smith will be sent back to
the Senate to continue to misrep
resent Georgia and Georgians."
It may be the answer to our pit
litieal problem.
The cotton and cottonseed ques
tion is a vexed problem for our
farmers. A 12,000.000 bale crop is
reported and the speculators are
forcing the market down to where
the farmers will sustain a heavy
loss, whether they sell or hold.
Some people advise that they hold
the cotton, others say experience
favors selling as soon as it is pre
pared for market. As to the cot
ton seed proposition, theeonseusus
of opinion is they should not be
sold at all but converted into fer
tilizer and shorten the guano ex
peases of next year. The Tribune
has steadfastly advised this course.
This cotton seed oil. mixed with
tallow, for cooking purposes is a
humbug, anyway.

Mr. Hardwick Voted Against the Fanner:
/
1. For the Fertilizer Trusts against the Nitrate Fertilizer
Bill to reduce the price of Fertilizers. Today you are
paying SIO.OO more than last year, while the price of
cotton continues to fall to ruinous prices.
2. For the Sugar Trusts in all their legislation. 7
3. For the Railroads and Express Companies against
/ the Parcels Post Bill.
4. For the Shipping Trust against the Shipping Bill,
when in 1914 the lack of ships beat down the price of
cotton to 5 cents a pound.

THE NEGRO’S FUTURE.
It is stated by the metropolitan
newspapers, among them the New
York Times, that thousands of N'eg
roes who emigrated from the South
a few years ago to make t heir homes
in the North, find themselves with
out employment and penniless and
in a land of unappreciation.
Those who can get back are
coming and many are writing
white friends in the South for
money to defray their expenses
home. Much good can come of
this change in the Negro mind if
properly handled.
The great percentage of those
Negroes lured North went from
Southern plantations, and it is tit
and proper that they should re
turn to their native heath on the
Southern plantations. Coming
back South to engage at public
work would be fatal to them, be
cause such labor is tickle and has
no permanency. They want to
get back to the plantations where
they are assured work the year
round.
Then, again, when they locate
they should make that location
their lifetime home —nobody every
accumulated anything by moving
around and frequent, changes of
occupations. In that way they
have no opportunity to learn les
sons of frugality —how to save,
how to accumulate, how to become
independent.
The Negro wants to become at
tached to southern soil by having
a bit they can call their own. It
is the Tribune's idea that iu no
other way can the Negro be made
desirable citizens.
The editor knows much of the
Negro and his disposition. After
all it is not very different from the
white man and varies according to
training. Observation leads to
the conclusion that in the South,
the Negro's natural home, those
who secure a farm and a home of
their own are the most highly re
spected of their fellows; it begets
in them a degreee of self-respect,
leading to self-reliance, integrity.

and delight in making them neat,

if the Negro comes South to
become a fixity on some cherished
acres lit: will do well; but if he
comes back to labor on public
work exclusively, which means to
wander about from pillar to post
spending more than they can earn,
keepiug eternally in debt, neither
they nor the South will be bene
fit ted by their return.
Notice to School Patrons.
To the Patrons of the Schools of
Atkinson < 'utility:
1 have been served with notice
from Hon. M L. Briltriu. State-
School Superintennent, that unless
the Compulsory Education Law is
enforced he would withhold the
school funds from this county, as
he is authorized to do by the law.
This would mean our ruin. We
must have whatever money is ap
propriated for this eouuty.
1 therefore deem it my duty as
Attendance Officer to enforce this
law. so that we may not be depriv
ed of these funds. You wi'l ideas 1
acquaint yourselves as patrous of
the schools, with the law. and see
whether or not you are complying
with it.
It is not lawful for you to keep
your children out of school even
for one day without getting ex
cused. Teachers can excuse you
in eases of sickness or other erner
geney. but they must be sure your
request is just.
If your children is not in school
for any reason 1 advise you to see
me or some one of the school au
thorities at once.
Youis truly,

Thedford’* Black-Draught Highly
Recommended by a Tennessee
Grocer lor Troubles Re
sulting from Torpid
Liver.
East Nashville, Tenn.— The effic
iency of Thedford's Black-Draught, tha
genuine, herb, liver medicine, is
vouched for by Mr. W. N. Parsons, a
grocer of this city. “It is without
doubt the best liver medicine, and I
don't believe I could get along without
It. I take it for sour stomach, head
ache, bad liver, indigestion, and all
other troubles that are the result of
a torpid liver.
‘‘l have known and used it for years,
and can and do highly recommend it
to every one. I won't go to bed with
out it in the house. It will do all it
claims to do. I can't say enough for
it."
Many other men and women through
out the country have found Black-
Draught just as Mr Parsons describea
—valuable in regulating the liver to
its normal functions, and In cleansing
the bowels of impurities.
Thedford's Black-Draught liver medi
cine Is the original and only genuine.
Accept no imitations or substitutes.
Always ask for Thedford's. £.BB
Brantley’s Opinion.
Regardless of how goes the
presidential election, the Demo
crats are almost bound to organize
the next United States House and
Senate. This is the opinion ex
pressed by former Congressman
\Y. G. Brantley in a letter written
to day to a friend in Atlanta, after
a canvass of the political situation
over the country. It appears
practically a certainty now, says
Mr. Brantley, that the Democratic
party will outnumber the Repub
licans in both branches of Congress
after the November elections.

septic; it kills the poison caused
