1t is the running expenses of the
local government which have helped
to cause the taxes to mount up from
sl,5O in 1883 and other years, to the
present rate of $1.95. This cause
has come about in face of an in
creased assessment roll of half a
million.

TO VOTERS.

Voters are cautioned to use the
utmost care in stamping their bal
lots. There will be several places
on the ticket marked "no nomina-
ton" indicating that the political
party whose heading appears at the
top of that column has made no
nomination for the Office designated.
Such case occurs in the republican
column for county recorder, and
also in both republican and demo-
cratic columns for subordinate town
ship officers. 1t is necessary to
leave the blank squares to the right
OF these places thus marked mo
nomination." untouched. A cross
in any of such squares will be apt to
cause trouble. Don't monkey with
these mo nomination" spaces in any
way. Let every republican voter
who does not fully understand how
to mark his ballot, take his sample
ballot to some trusted person and
get him to mark it just the way he
wants to vote. He can then take
the sample ballot into the booth with
him, and mark his regular ballot in
exact conformity thereto. Let
every voter also remember that if he
accidently stamps his ballot wrong
ly-that is if he puts cross opposite
name or proposition he does not
wish to vote for--he can return the
ballot to the clerk as spoiled bal
lot, and get another in place there
of. The greatest danger consists in
putting cross in a square which
does not represent candidate to
be voted for. With this point safe
guarded, there need be little risk of
marking the ballot so as to give
room for quibbling.
Another point we wish to impress
upon republicans, namely, that a
citizen who in his affidavit of regis
tration has stated that he is able to
mark his own ballot, must not call
for assistance. In an election con-
test in Amador county, within recent
years, votes have been deducted
from candidate because it was
shown that the voter had received
assistance, when his affidavit showed
that he could make out his own bal
lot. This ruling may seem extreme
ly arbitrary and unjust when ap-
piled to all cases. For instances
there are scores of persons in Anna
dor county who cannot see without
spectacles. 1t would be risky fol
such to attempt to mark a ballot
without glasses. With glasses, how.
ever, they can stamp ballot easily.
Some voters have a considerable
distance to go to the polling place.
Now in case citizen of this class
accidentally leaves his glasses al
home, and for that reason calls for
aid in making his ballot, is it just
and right that his vote should be
thrown out on a contest. Or if {
person able to make out his ballot a.
the time of making the affidavit O.
registration, becomes disabled sub
sequently, and before election day
and consequently is compelled t.
call for help, is there any reason
why his vote should be rejected
However, it is well to impress upor
citizens the necessity of taking theil
artificial eyes with them to the poll
ing place, if their natural sight i.
not sufficient to enable them to marx
their ballots. Try to steer clear O
all these little legal snags, and vote
the republican ticket as straight a:
your conscien tious scruples vii
permit.

stands the art of catering to the taste
of the travelling men.
Plains has two churches, Methodist
and Baptist, and each has neat house
of worship and the religious spirit of
the entire community is marked by an
enthusiasm that is noticeable. The
Rev. J G. Harrison is pastor of the
Methodist church and his congrega-
ton feel that he is essentially the right
man in the right place and his church
is prospecting under an able charge.
Rev. W. W Arnold, Of Richland, is
pastor of the Baptist church.
The people Of the Plains feel an
especial pride in their prosperous
school a very attractive two story
frame building has been built and
furnished with modern desks and up
to-date equipment in every respect.
The average attendance of the Plains
High School is about 1875, and their
work is in charge of Prof K. G. Camp
bell as principal with Misses Clifford
Taylor and Erma Bryan as assistants.
The music department is in charge of
Miss Carrie Jennings.
The Masons and Knights eff Pythias
have fourishing lodges and Their hall
is one of the most complete and best
arranged for the purpose IN the state.
Plains is growing steadily and sure
ly. 1t has now a population of about
600. It's trade IS increasing and it has
its customers from Marion, Schley,
Lee, Webster and Terrell counties. It
has excellent railroad facilities and it
will in few weeks be in nearer touch
with the world by means of the Bell
Telephone lines which are beng eX-
tended to that point very rapidly.
There is talk of cotton factory and
the talk comes from men who have the
means to carry not any plan they make.
1t would not surprise anyone cognizant
of the facts to see the work commenced
on this cotton mill within a few months.
Plains has become a very important
factor in the prosperity of South Geor-
gia, and it is growing and will continue
to grow SO long as its business men are
of the type now looking after its af-
fairs.
