That there is a great deal of. unrest in this county. politically speaking, has been evident for many months. It has been given form and voice by a number of communications in recent issues of The Advertiser. It is all due to the arbi- trary apportionment of thirteen delegates for each beat. which never had any justi- fication in the realm of sense or morals That plan was originally, established by a County Committee but was afterwards adopted by a county convention, In ad- dition county convention ordered that the vote of the county be given to such candidates received the majority of votes in a county convention. There are those who openly advocate disregard of former action of conventions.
 It is better, however, to preserve har- mory and no better way to do this can be devised than by following the sug- gestion of MT. Charles B. Teasley. His letter in today's Advertiser is a patriotic one and under all the circumstances a wise one. Let the committee meet and order a county convention with no other business before it, than that of har- rnonizing county representation. Even seems that this will be done, our county matters should be gotten in a more satis- factory shape.

Is Mary Maclane the continuation or only one more advance step in the way of salacious writers? We have had quIre a number of books of late years-and it is shameful to know that many cf them are from the pens of women-which bordered closely on the line which sepa. ratesl the decent from the indecent. fl some of them have not really crossed it. Apparently the writers have experimented to see how near they could venture tc wards the danger line without going over or how far they might go without having their books denied the use of the mails If Miss Maclane is real parsonage and not fake we may expect further and more foully erotic emanations from her pen, and 1t is not at all improbable that she may yet reach a point where the authorities will have to protect the pub lie from her. She may be lunatic or she may be only experimenting with the code of indecency.

There Must Be a Change.

Editor The Advertiser: .
 1 am not politician and am not well versed in the procedure of what Is termed the political, that is, the regular party organization. 1 have always voted the regular Democratic ticket in the national, State, county and city elections. and l hope that 1 shall always be able to do so
 My interest in politics has never gone be- yond this, and perhaps never shall have never been a delegate to, but have often been present at our County Con ventons. From what l saw and heard at these conventions. especially at the last few, 1 am satisfied that they are thor oughly corrupt, and that in the interests of plain common decency, they ought either to be done away with or very ma terialIy changed. I am inclined to the opinion that as nominating body they ought to go entirely. 1 have followed the discussion of this question in The Adver- tiser during the past few days, and after reading every letter and editorial so Tar published upon this subject. l am ieft with but one difficulty, and will ask that 1t be solved either by or through your paper Suppose that the County EXccu- tive Committee refuse to call eonVen- ton to relieve the present situation.

Striking" Students.
Philadelphia Press.


 Because the faculty of Delaware Col lege, in Newark, Del, suspended a half dozen students, charged with the brutal hazing of. fellow undergraduate, the entire student body of that institution. with the exception Of the senior class. has determined to go on strike" The men have absented themselves from lee lures and will. they say, refuse to take any part in the regular serious work of the place until the suspended persons have been fully reinstated. This news, following closely upon somewhat simi- lar story ffom Lafayette, calls attention to a point of view which appears to be growing in favor with college students and which should be dealt with both promptly and severely by academic au- thorities.
 The young man at college is at an age when, for all his reputed humor, he takes himself far more seriously than he will ever do in after life. He is wonderfully fond of ridiculng others. but he is gen erally incapable of seeing anything ri- diculous in himself Yet a student "on strike is really the most ludicrous fig ure imaginable in the college world. There may be two minds about the utility of strikes in the cause of labor. but it is self-evident that the student who adopts such measures is hurting no one but him. self and his own parents. His tuition has been paid in advance. and his absence from lectures is only giving 10 the facul- ty he purposes to inJure vacation on full salary. The striker merely robs him self of his advantages and his parents of the money they have spent with the understanding that he shall use it in ac- qliiring an education. The faculty should expel him and the parents should spank him. If student in good standing ob- iects to one college, the only logical course for him to pursue .s quietly to go to another As for the institution Inc so Vainly tries to hurt. it can better afford to lose ee-fourths of it's students than to permit them to make grltuitous fools of themselves about it's precincts.

CREAM of the SPECIALS
GIGANTIC DEAL IN SUGAR.
Control of Beet Industry Secured
 by Trust.

Washington Special to the New York Tribune.
 On authority that is entirely trust worthy 1t can be announced as a fact. ana not as mere rumor. that Henry O- Havemeyer, president of the Sugar Trust; John D. Rockefeller and hnan- ciers closely associated with them m various enterprises of magnitude have been quietly buying up stock in the large beet sugar factories and corporations Tn the country for several months past ana that they now practically control this m dustry. the object being ultimately to combine the beet sugar industry with the refining interests that are already con trolled by the Havemeyer- Rockefeller group of financiers. It Is said that not until Congress definitely settles the Gu. ban reciprocity question will any formal ownership or control of the beet sugar business in the United States by the The reason for this is obvious, and the important bearing the transaction has on the Cuban reciprocity struggle in con gress is to the initiated almost too plain to need elaborate explanation. 4 Apparently-or, perhaps. admittedly IS a better word-few members Of elther

A Notable Speech.
Clayton Record.

The speech of Judge Thomas G. Jones on Decoration Day at Riverside Park
 N. Y.. on the occasion of the unveilins of d monument to the Federal dead, ar sues eIouuentiy' of a reunited country. To have been the orator of the day at such time. was distinct compliment to the distinguished Alabamian. but he measured to the full standard and bore his honors worthily. His speech was a masterpiece of thought and propriety. He gave due credit to Grant and his le- gions but he never forgot the Confede- rate and his Chieftain, nor did he apolo- sizc for himself or his people for the part that they played in the very tragic drama. Judge Jones was as gallant a soldier as could he found in the Confed- crate service and is true to the south Federal henrh and draws handsome sal ary from the United states Government.

Editor The Advertiser

Editor The AdVertlSef.
 l have read with interest the several communications in your columns in re- gard to the representation in our county conventions. :
 I fully agree with "Oconee" as to the authority of the Executive Committee Tn this connection, as l believe the only au- thoTized power that can change the sys- tenn we now have rests in the people Tn convention assembled. There can be no doubt, however, as to the committee authority to call a convention for thlS purpose. The committee should call a convention within the next thirty or for ty days for the purpose of re-adjustlng the representation in county conventions upon some fair and equitable basis.
 I think now is the proper time to act In this matter, there being no candidates to be voted for, the delegates to this con vcntion would be entirely free to act Tor the best interest of the party. 1 am con- fidcnt a large majority of the people who live in the country are ill favor of any fair and just change.
