A Speakership Race Where
Memory Shames.
(From The Times-Enterprise.)
The condition of Georgia state
politics has been the subject of
earnest concern among many
thiaking people for the last de¬
cade. The impression seems to
be growing that the state is in
the hands eff the corporations. It
is not at all improbable that the
battle cry in the next campaign
will be “the people against the
corporations.” If there is one
man in Georgia who knows poli¬
tics it is Hon. W. VV. Osborne, of
Savannah. He is in a position to
write lrom the inside, and write
he does.
In a recent letter he reviews
the history of the past few years,
says the corporations have a
strangle hold bn legislation, and
that in ord,er to fight the attacks
of enemies the Democratic party
must wake up and rid the state
of corporate domination.
Of particular interest to peo
pie of this city and section is his
review of a case whose memory
shames. The Georgian mention¬
ed is none other than the Honor¬
able Fondren Mitchell, of this
county- Mr, Osborne says
“Am I overstating present con¬
ditions when I say that no man
may run for office without cor¬
porate approval? I am sure that
the charge can be sustained. I
have a case in mindjnow, a matter
of history, that serves to illus
trate, though its memorv shames
where Democracy is loved.
“A. distinguished young Geor¬
gian was ambitious to beet imp.
Speaker of the House of Repre?
sent&tives. He was a man of
ability, of intelligence and char¬
acter. He had seen years of
Honorable service in the House,
and his record was one of which
he may well have been proud.
“He voted for temperance.
“He sought bv his vote to pre¬
vent the horrible sacrifice of
Georgia children that the co-ton
mills are annually offering ap to
the latter day Moloch.
“He stood ever lor the people’s
rights as against corporate
greed. He was entitled to be
Speaker, if, for no other reason,
than that of his own worth, and
the people really wanted to honor
him.
“Bub the Mercenaries decreed
otherwise. He ha<j already ex¬
hibited his independence. He
had their undying enmity- They
worked themselves and subse¬
quently their employes into a
fine frenzy.
"One would have suppose! that
the elevation of this splendid
young Georgian to the Speaker
ship meant the ruin of every cor¬
poration in the state and the con¬
fiscation of all their assets.
“They girded up their Joins.
Every railroad in Georgia, every
cotton mil! in Georgia, the asso¬
ciated liquor interests of Geor¬
gia, combined to defeat the aspi¬
rations of this young Democrat
for preferment within his party.
“The wires were soon hot—
from hill and dale they came—
the las'.: was uplifted and every*
where possible political influence
was thrashed into line. It would
be interesting to enumerate the
political influences that sprang
into line at the crack of the whip,
did it not at the same time write
Democracy’s shame.
“Never at any time in the his¬
tory of Georgia has there been
such straining of corporate ef¬
fort. The conflict was too un¬
equal. He made a heroic, single
handed fight, and once even tied
the winner. But he was defeated.
He became a Victim of his own
independence.
“I have often thought that
«some day the people of Georgia
would learn the secret of this
figiib. Whenever they do, I am
sure they will fittingly regard
their chatnpii n for his very hon¬
orable defeat.
“The fight makes a black page
in Democracy’s history. It is a
sad commentary when a Georgia
Democrat, who has ability and
character, may not successfully
aspire to office w’thin the Demo¬
cratic party unless he first shows
subserviency to those who have
already sold their own political
influence for money. Democracy
cannot hope to retain the allegi¬
ance of Georgians if the portals
of preferment will not open unto
them until after they shall have
made sacrifice of their manhood
on the altar of the Mercenaries.
“When the money changers
profaned the temple, the Master
did not tear down the beautiful
structure and build another. Hfe
scourged them from the holy
place. And so must we.”
Revolution Imminent.
A sure sign of approaching re¬
volt and serious trouble in your
system is nervousness, sleepless¬
ness, or stomach upsets. Electric
Bitters will quickly dismember

stimulate the Liver, and clarify
the blood. Run down systems

usual attending aches vanish un¬

effectiveness. Electric Bitters is

it don’t give perfect satisfaction.

Southern Representation.
The Hon. Thomas Collier Pratt
has introduced into the senate his
bill for reducing southern repre¬
sentation in Congress. Several
representatives have brought in
similar bills.
It may be assumed, however,
that no bill on the subject will be¬
come a law. Nor will it be nec¬
essary for the democrats to rely
upon obstruction and intermina¬
ble talk in the senate.
There is only sufficient reason
why all the activity of the genfls
men now so hustling with reduc¬
tion bills will come to nothing
The “solid south’’ is a great help
to the republicans. It is a defi¬
nite political advantage to them.
They may threaten, but they will
not do anything. They are per¬
fectly contented with the present
state of things. A reasonably
solid south is enough for them.—

Fight warBe Bitter.
Those who will persist in clos¬
ing their ears against the contin¬
ual recommendation of Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption,
will have a long ar.d bitter fight
with their troubles, if not ended
earlier by fatal termination. Read
what T. R. Beall, of Beall, Mies.,
has to say: “Last fall my wife
had every symptom of consump
tin. She took Dr. King’s New
Discovery after everything else
had failed. Improvement came
at once and four bottles entirely
cured her.” Guaranteed by Lew¬

President Alderman, of (he
University of Virginia, at a re¬
cent gathering of the Southern
society in New York said that the
south is still conservative. It is
the only part of America which
believes in God, reads Walter
Scott’s novels and votes the Dem¬
ocratic ticket. “The need of the
south,’’ he said, “is for
men to help it realize its
self. The present leaders
mostly honest and well meaning,
but they are a caricature of an
obsolete type. They have
been trained to the needs of
age. We need men who can
bring to the section
activity, civic unity and o scien¬
tific attitude toward social phe
•nosaena.’’
Does It Pay.
Does it pay banks to advertise?
Five years ago some banks in
Pittsburg, Pa., began to adver¬
tise, and recently they measured
the results by comparing their
business with that of banks that
did not advertise. In the five
years the banks that sought new
business through printer’s ink
gained 38 per cent, in assets and.
85 per cent, in deposits. The
other banks gained 27 per cent,
in assets and 11 per cent, in de¬
posits. During the last year the
lormer gained 22 per cent, and
the latter lost 7 per cent, in de¬
posits. The question whether it
pays to advertise may not be en¬
tirely answered by such figures,
but they are calculated to pro¬
voke thought.—Springfield Re¬
publican.
A Costly Mistake.
Blunders are sometimes very
expensive. Occasionally life it¬
self is the price of a mistake, but
you’ll never be wrong if you take
