A Texas Editor on the Pistol Habit.

This is the way Texas editor ex-
presses his opinion of the pistol habit:
1.-THE six.shooter law ought to be re
pealed and allow every man the prlVl-
lege to carry one, or else make it pen
itentiary offense or hanging crime to
be caught With one anywhere about
his person. The way things are now
every vagaboud in the country, and
some Of the balance of Us, too, can be
searched most any time and can be
found with some old, devjlish scare
crow OF six-shooter, too sorry 10 Kill
outright, but only made to cripple ana
MAIN our fellow-man. We taipk Que
law makers should remedy these MAJ
tiers. If we have got to kilt to keep
down our population, let's appoint an
officer to kill only those who are a
menace TO our good government and
good society, add mot haYe good citl-
zens shot dow like dogs by some son OF
Gun who is too sorry TO live himself
and still runs at Large through some
technicality of the law"

Senator Clay and That EstilI Dinner.

From the Albany HeraId.
Senator Clay is nothing if not care
ful, but sometimes his friends are OF
the opinion that he is a little too mucn
that way. Circumspection in affairs
political is we'll enough as a general
proposition, butsfor senatorial caudi-
dGte to eat dinner with gubernatorial
candidate would hardly prove fatal in
Georgia. The senator could have ac-
cepted the invitation to dine out last
Sunday without endangering his polit-
ical welfare. And his over-carefulness
lost for him a mighty good dinner.

STATE TAXES HIGHER.
Bio legislative Appropriations Will Pre-
vent Reduction.
Dawson, Ga

vent Reduction.
ControlleV General Wright says that
in all probably the state tax this year
will be IS. 40 on the $1,000 instead OF
S.. 20, as last year. The rate has not
vet been fixed, but the governor and
controller general, who constitute the
tax commission, will get together some
this week ana decide definitely. Gov
ernor Gambler says he cannot tell now
much the increase will be, but is satls-
fed it will be larger than last year on
account of the many extra approprIa-
tions made by the last legislature
These extra appropriations amount to
about 100000.
Controller General Wright, how
euer, has figured the matter out pretty
closely already, and he is satisfied that
the rate will have to be made at least
IS. 40 per Thousand in order to raise the
money needed. On account OF the
large increase in tax returns this year
amounting TO more than $4,000, O0O
many thought the tax rate would DC
lower than last year, but IL is apparent
that such cannot be the case.

Why Not TO Kruger p?

From the Commoner.
ON AUGUST 9th President Mckinley
sent to Emperor William of Germany
a cablegram expressing regret because
of the death of the emDerors mother
Referring to this good woman, Mr..
Mckinley said: "Her noble qualities
have ~endeared her memory TO the
American people in whose name and
in mine | tender 10 your majesty
heartfelt coincidence"
1t was proper that Mr. Mckinley
should express sympath with Tue Ger
man emperor because OF his mothers
death But we are reminded That,
a although Mrs. Kruger, the wife OF the
president of the South African Re
public, died more than thirty days ago
the president of the United States has
not seen fit TO tender his sympathy, or
the sympathy of the American people,
to the grief stricken president OF re-
public that is fighting for existence.
Let US ask ourselves seriously why
this very apparent duty has been neg
lected. 1t cannot be that Mr. Nc
Kinley feared to express his sympathy
with the republics president on the
ground that it might be construed as
an expression OF preference between
two friendly powers that are now at
war 1t happend that the queen OF
England died while this war was In
progress and no words of eulogy were
TOO strong for our president to convey
across the water by way OF assuring
the English people that we sympathize
with them in their great loss.
1t is entirely proper that we should
have shed tears and glove for the
stricken people of this monarchy; but
should we not also have love and tears
for the stricken people of a republic !:

WOULD LIKE TO KNOW

Mr.. Turner announces that he voted
for Bryan and Stevenson in 1909 but is
silent as to whom he voted for in 1896,
when the element in the democratic
party to which he belonged gave aid
and comfort to the republicans byplac'
ing an Independent ticket in the field
It was either to vote for Mr.. Bryan or
for Mr.. Mckinley last year, and it was
but fair to presume that he did not DO
the latter.
What the thousands of democrats in
Georgia who hage always stood loyalty
by the party and its candidates would
like to know is whether Mr.. Turner
voted for Bryan and Sewall, or for
Palmer and Buckner, or did noLvote at
all. And they Will insist upon know
ing before taking Mr., Throer's candi-
dacy for governor seriously.
