MARIETTA GA. THURSDAY MORNING, Nov r. lyuS
A PURE BALLOT q.
n 4Ns
AsHtMAA's WILL,
CoIored Voter No Logger
a Vender but Some
: Whites Are.

The colored brother looked on wish
fully while the white primary was in
progress here last Friday, and thought
of the good old fat times he used to
enjoy, and now he is not even ep-
preached and asked to vote. The white
primary certainly solved the negro
problem" in regard to elections by
eliminating the negro as a political
factor and balance of power A cor
ruptioR of the colored voter became. a
matter of opportunity, for large ma
jority were ready to sell their vote and
"fuence" at. every election. Sad to
contemplate, there are lots of white
men who are now doing the same
thing. The man who would barter his
vote for whiskey or money is not
worthy Of the prerogative and his suf-
frage should be taken away from him.
The ballot should be sacredly guarded
as freeman's will to do freeman S
bidding, When thus appreciated it is
worth something in the maintenance
Of purity of the ballot box. When not
so regarded it becomes play thing and
reproach. p

Charley Wheeler. a one-legged negro
man. Max Herndon and Sam Williams,
all negroes, were all engaged in "crap
shooting" or gambling at Hannah
James house last Sunday, when diff
ficulty ensued. Wheeler claims that
Herndon cut his coat with a knife and
he struck Herndon with a rock break
ing his leg. Wheeler gave himself up
and was jailed Herndon went under
the care of a doctor, and Williams
took to the woods. Hannah James
was landed in the caboOse to sleep off a
drunk. She set the blankets on fire
and the officers had to come to her res
cue and take her out of the calaboose
and put her in another room for safety.

He defeated Mr.. G. A Guyton on the

The regular election takes place the
second Tuesday in December.
The managers, were Judge P. D.
McCleskey, John P. Cheney, H. G..
Coryell, F. j. Lumpkin, and T. w.
Read.
The managers, after the election in
counting the vote began calling out the
numbers also and thus created some
very unfavorable comment, and when
their attention was called to the fact
that is was a violation of law they de-
sisted.
We interviewed Judge McCleskey
next day in regard to the matter, and
he says the voting lists were in his
pocket and there were no comparisons
of names and numbers and no mans
vote was exposed.
Mr.. J,W .Hardeman on Monday night
went before the Executive Committee
and asked for recount Of the ballots
for Mayor, stating that he should have
been credited with the last ballot in the
box and If given q recount he would
stop the matter right there and abide
the result. The committee declined to
take further action in oCmnIianon wit
his request. Mr.. Hardeman has filed
notice of contest, setting forth that he
would take testimony before John Aw-
trey, Ordinary, November 10th.
Attorney H. B. Moss has presented
a mandamus to Judge Gober that be
require the Executive Committee to
make recount. Judge Gober answers
that he is disqualified.

Sheep In Montana.

About twenty-five years ago the first
band or sheep was taken into Montana,
ana this small flock has increased un-
I'll now. according to the department OF
agriculture's figures, there are over
100000 sheep In the state, or more
IMAM one-seventh of the whole number
In the United States. In the year 1901
there were 100000 lambs added to
the hocks OF Montana, and $4,000, 900
pounds Of wool We're produced at an
average OF 13.4S cents per pound. The
state board of sheep commissioner Of
wyoming has just published a report
showing the total number of sheep In
the state on July 1 last to be 6,724, 476.
which is a large increase over the pre-
vious year. The wool clip for the year
amounted to 32,963.1 100 pounds, an in
crease of 100000 pounds over 1901.
From these figures it will be seen that
wyoming now ranks first among the
states and territories in wool produc-
ton.

A CHANGE IN METHODS.
Future Production OF Sheep and Cat
tie on Western Ranges.

TIC On western hRnRea.
Some writers on agricultural topics
Beem to favor the view that the limit
OF production in sheep has been
reached on western ranges, as well as
the limit Of production In cattle We
do not entirely sympathize with their
view under present conditions. 1t may
be true that the ranges have been
stocked to their full capacity I'm some
Instances or even more than their full
capacity, but changes Of method In
management are creeping In gradually.
These changes are going to modify
very materially not only the amount of
the production OF live stock on the
range, but also the quality Of the same
and the condition In which II shall
reach the market. With the impetus
that is being given to irrigation there
will be greater increase In the
growth Of alfalfa and other food prod
ucts In various districts In the range
country. In other words, ranchmen
will be supplied with foods on which
to winter their stocks. This will mean
that there Will be less of a drain on
pastures in the winter season. They
VASE w CAA%AOlOO W
larger number of animals than In for
mer years, and II will also enable the
stockmen to market their produce at
an earlier age. This will mean that
less food will be consumed per animal,
and because of this more animals can
be kept.
If there is going to be any decline
1t will certainly not be in the line of
sheep production, as ranchmen know
very well that sheep can maintain
themselves on ranges which would
not support cattle. And because of this
where sheep have been introduced in
large numbers cattle have. decreased.
This has been so in the past, and Ii is
not unlikely that it will be so in the
future
While, therefore, we do not sympa-
thize with the view that there will not
be any increase In the production of
sheep in the range country we do not
expect that Increase to be rapid, not
sufficiently rapid to meet the needs of
the growing population In this coun-
try. We may expect, therefore, that
those who grow sheep on the arabic
farm Will be even better rewarded for
doing so In the future than In the past.
