asDirants. Developments of the past
few days appear to verify this state
ment. A few days ago Alderman
Woodward called upon City Attorney
Mayson for an opinion as to his eligl-
bilty to the office. 1t seems that the
point was made that Alderman Wood
ward, having been elected alderman
for term of three years, could not
become Mayor during that time even
should he be elected. The city attor-
ney informed Alderman Woodward
that there is no provision in the char
ter that covers the point and therefore
Mr.. Woodward can make the race,
and. If elected, accept the office.

SOME CAMPAIGN QUESTIONS.
There are some points Indue ny OOl'
Estiu in his interview in Thursdays
Constitution which did not appear in
the Atlanta dispatch which was pub
lshed in Thursdays Morning News.
They are as follows: "As to the white
people of the state getting together.
There is no doubt that those who
strayed into the Populist party have
been coming back to the Democratic
party for number of years. There is
no particular reason why they
shouldn't come back under the Kansas
City platform. There are. however as
many Republicans in Georgia as ever,
If not more, and there is no way to
get the white men who have gone into
the Republican party back into the
Democratic party that / know of as
long as there Is federal patronage to
be dispensed. l agree with Mr.. Terrell
on the school question. / believe the
state ought to have a better school
system. The present system is a dis
grace. Outside of the cities. some towns
and a few counties, ! might say we
have practically no school system. /
also agree with Mr.. Terrell that II
any people or corporations are evading
the payment Of just taxes there should
be measures devised TO make them
conform to the law. That is also the
platform Of Mr.. Query, and / might
say of all the candidates. / notice

WHY LABoRERs ARE SCARCE.

Montgomery Monitor: The farmers
are complaining about the scarcity of
'laborers. 1t is time to begin farm
work for another crop, and in many
instances labor cannot be had. Why
is this? Are the people so well to do
that they will not. work for wages,
or is 1t because there are better OPEN
ings in other lines? In some instances
we are forced to think it is pure lazi-
ness. On the farm. they have to work
six DAYS in the week. while at saw
mills and turpentine stills they can
work about one-half the time and loaf
the other half necessitating the en-
ployment of about two crews at all
such places. Such places as this suit
the shiftless mass of laborers that the
employers OF this country have to deal
with. 1t is a free country and free
people can do as they please, but the
present system is very hard on men
who have to employ help.

Baltimore, Md, Jan. 24.-George
Dixon, the veteran colored pugilist.

ninth round under a rain of body
blows delivered by Eddie Lenny. 1t

Lenny had the better of this argument
throughout. His blocking rendered It
impossible for the colored man TO land
a telling blow. while Dixon proved to
be shiftier than his old friends had
expected and avoided many hard leads.

WEED OUT THE PARLoR RIFLE.

WEED OUT THE PARLOR RIFLE.
Cuthbert Leader; A crusade against
the parlor rifle has begun in Cuthbert.
Would that it had started ten days
ago. 1t has always been so. A catas-
trophe or a tragedy is needed to arouse
us TO action. We realize that certain
practices or certain conditions are dam
gerous, and perhaps we say that these
should not be allowed and those ought
to be changed, but we make no effort
to bring about the needed Improvement.
Public apathy is often deplorable. TAX
ing guns away from boys-some of
them little fellows--is a step in the
right direction. A boy in town with a
parlor rifle Is a menace to the citizens
He has no judgment, and will shoot at
an English sparrow on a fence that
bounds street just as quickly as
though the bird were up in tree.
There are boys in Cuthbert that have
scarcely discarded dresses who own
guns that shoot cartridges. A boy will
not wait to get out of town to shoot
If his gun uses a BIB cap that can be
heard only few yards.
