tion in that eity of the opening o

Macon, (in . to .lacks- nvilic, Fla.
An exchaiite at tempts toexplaii
the origin of the term “Yankee."
It is a hard proposition, but this
editor was taught that it is the re
sult of gutteral pronunciation by
the Indians of the word "English."
When Atkinson county was cre
ated it was presumed that good
roads would lead to Pearson from
every section of the county. This
should come to pass for more rea
sons than that she is the county
seat. Yet that is a sufficient rea
son.
Dengue fever caused, it, is said,
by a mosquito that bites only in
day time is raging throughout
South Georgia. Hundreds of cases
are reported at Waycross, Black
shear, Jes up and Brunswick. Those
who have had the fever says "it
won’t kill you, but will make you
feel so bad that you will wish you
were dead.”
Congress having adjourned until
commencement of the short term,
beginning in December, there
doesn’t seem to be any special
reason for the appointment of an
ad interim senator to (ill the Wat
son vacancy. His successor can
be elected at the general election
in November, or a special election
can be called for that purpose.
If all the people appointed as
delegates to the State convention
at Macon attend there will not be
room enough to contain them.
Seventy delegates from Fulton
county! What do you think of
that? And what is the idea for so
many going! Is it to secure a seat
in the auditorium! Thought t here
was a gallery provided for visitors
to the convention.
The people of Georgia are de
manding the utmost economy in
the administration of their State
government; they have to econo
mize as individual citizens to meet
the exigencies of the times and
they say State authorities should
do likewise- They are asking that
the pay roll of helpers be cut to
the last notch of efficiency; they
have to do with less help, and they
see no reason for an over-supply at
the State Capitol.
Those “Kaiser Memoirs," now
running in the Atlanta Constitu
tion, are readable to-be sure, but —
life is too short to pour over a mass
of matter in which one cannot find
anything worth remembering or
emulating. The Kaiser’s re-marks
about Prince Bis marck is indeed
battering. The world has never
needed such men as Wilhelm and
Bismarck and would have been
better off if they bad never lived.
Their lives are but trails of blood.
That Georgia-Coloradan, Editor
Albert C. Sweat, says in his Fort
Collins News: “Didn’t know we
had so many friends in Georgia till
they began torturing us with the
result of t he gubernatorial race be
tween Walker and Hardwick."
Albert was a follower of Hardwick
and expressed the desire that he
"would lick the stuffin’ out of
Walker,’’ so the news his Georgia
friends sent him was not to his
taste. Would like to know what
Albert has against Clifford Walker?
It is learned from the Savannah
News of Tuesday that the Demo
cratic Executive Committee of
Coffee county had eliminated from
the count the Summerall votes in
that county. This action makes
the face of the returns in the cir
cuit show a majority for Quiueey
of 278 votes, disregarding 51 li
votes cast for Summerall. The
Tribune editor is a friend of both
the candidates but he cannot re
fraiu from saying that an injustice
has been done good citizens of
that county who voted for Smn
merall. It has created quite a
KUsatiou throughout the circuit.
Women in Politics.
To the Editor of the Tribune:
Quite a bit of unfavorable com
ment is afloat among a few of our
good regarding the "petticoat gov
ernment.’’which is now a more or
ess nationwide fixture.
Am sure if you would calm your
-elve* for a sufficient length of
irne and look the sit uation square
y in the face, you would feel that
you are due the good women an
ipology.
Begin by asking yourselves this
juestion, "Why are the women in
politics?” Certainly not from
choice. Personally speaking f can
verify this statement.
Gentlemen, here is the situation:
Dating back from the days of Ad
am you have had full control, un
hampered by the woman, with
boundless opportunities to organ
ize a clean, temperate world. Have
you done so? Hope this is not au
embarassing question!
The women are not exactly the
fools that some of our men wish
they were. We have trusted im
plicitly in your ability to do all
things well and wisely, and to-day
we stand face to face with ineveus
able conditions for which all
“trustworty” men are entirely re
sponsible. Constant outbreaks of
contention and all forms of politi
cal rioting has disturbed the wo
men. It is characteristic of our
sex, when we can’t get out of a
thing to get into it; so, gentlemen,
we are into it. Hoist your white
flag and give us the welcome we
deserve.
The man that knocks this ele
ment of women simply makes an
open confession that he is not an
advocate of clean, better politics.
Hence we are not in t he game from
choice and it is unfair to abuse us.
We have not condemned you, you
have condemned yourselves. We
are not fighting you, but we are
helping you, because you need
help and an infant can see that the
woman is your salvation. You have
lost confidence in your fellowman,
hut you can trust a womanly wo
man to the end of the world.
You have gone your limit in do
debauchery and vice, so the tide
must turn.. You are in deep water
Clinging to a straw. The "petti
coat” has come to your rescue.
You deserve drowning, but we are
going to pull you out, stand you
on high dry ground and give you a
chance to reform.
A few narrow brained "fanatics"
seem to have it down that the wo
man simply wants to “wear the
pants.” This is part of the game
and we expect and accept it as a
joke. In spite of the kicks we are
your friends and have no intention
of getting in the way of any worthy
man; but we are with you to stay,
putting the very best that is in us
to work for the sake of raising the
standard of political and moral
decency. So the sooner you can
bring yourself to believe that
honesty and fair dealings are im
perative to your future political
success; the sooner you can make
yourself appreciate the woman for
turning the tide of dishonor, just
that much sooner will you find
yourself rising to a higher plane of
living. II elen B. Stewart,
Axsou, Georgia.
Card of Thanks.
I wish to thank my friends for
their support in my race for Com
missioner of Beads and Bevenues,
Pearson district, Atkinson county.
I have all due respect both for
those who supported me and those
who did not.
Some say they can’t see why 1
was beaten. I can tell you; it was
the result of a combine, political
trading. 1 was solicited to enter
the combine but 1 refused. 1
promised the people I would run a
clean race and I did so. If 1 was
elected 1 intended to be elected
by clean methods and fair dealing.
1 hold principle above office’ and I
was not disposed to be swapped off
like a Pointer dog by a few bosses.
1 made a clean race and 1 am
proud of it. If he will a man can
be as clean in politics as anything
else he undertakes.
I want to thank Mr. Stewart
and Mr. Corbitt, while the trading
referred to was in behalf of the

me with a suggestion of trading
supporters. They knew I was noi

Mr. James F. Overstreet was a
visitor to Pearson last Monday,
presumably looking after Republi
can polities in the Eleventh con
grcssional district. The outlook
for a Republican candidate fui
congress in the Eleventh is noi
very promising.
The gubernatorial convention at
Macon next Wednesday will now
probably be a conservative gather
ing, since Providence has inter
posed and saved it from the Tom
Watson keynote address. And the
Tribune suspects there will be
some lonesome folks holding seats
in that convention, folks of all
sorts of political faiths.

“Feeling
Fine!”
"I was pale and thin, hardly
able to go,” says Mrs. Bessie
Bearden, of Central, S. C. "1
would suffer when I stood on
my feet, with bearing-down
pains in my sides and the lower
part of my body. I did not rest
well and didn’t want anything
to eat. My color was bad and
1 felt miserable. A friend of
mine told me ot
The Woman’s Ton’s
and I then remembered my
mother used to take it.. . After
the first bottle I was better. 1
began to fleshen up and I re
gained my strength and good,
healthy color. I am feeling fine.
I took twelve bottles (of Cardui)
and haven’t had a bit of trouble
since."
Thousands ot other women
have had similar experiences in
the use of Cardui, which has
brought relief where other
medicines had fro led.
If you suffer from female ail
ments, take Cardui. It is a
woman’s medicine. It may be
j jst what you need.
