A Visit to Gerac's Tin.

A reporter for The Advertiser
had occasion to visit the Gerac
gin Monday. They have a well
equipped plant, provided with
the latest machinery, and are
doing a fine business. Since the
gin started three weeks ago, the
plant has been pushed to its
utmost capacity. An accident
to the machinery, which caused
the stoppage Of some of the gins,
has caused about 400 bales to
accumulate, but the damage will
soon be repaired and the work
will then be rapidly caught up
with. Gerac Bros. are using the
round bale press, which makes a
convenient sized bale easy to
handle, and weighing about $50
pounds. It is quite interesting
to see how easily and quickly the
cotton passes from the gin into
the press and is turned out in a
neat round roll.

ShonId Be Named.

The official map of Lafayette shows
that there are quite number of un-
named streets, especially in the Mills
Addition. This should be remedied,
and at the same time, we would sug-
gest that the Council officially name
Pierce and Jefferson streets Lincoln
avenue, so as to do away with the
absurdity of practically the same
street having different names every
time it makes a turn.

WEDNESDAY, SEPT 80, 1908.
A MisGhieyous' Agitation.

Alabama, is not the only Demo
cratic member Of the lower house
of Congress who is opposed to
any agitation for the repeal of
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments at the coming ses-
sion of Congress. Opposition to
such a movement is strong
among the oldest and ablest of
the Democratic senators who
realize that only harm to the
Democratic party and the South
would result from an attempt to
repeal the amendments at this
time Their view Of the matter
is the correct one, and when Con
gress meets the real leaders of
the Democracy should call off the
impetuous Senator Carmack, of
Tennessee, an the equally
'heady" Mr.. Hardwick of Geor-
gia.
While these obnoxious amend
ments which were born of the
passions growing out of the civil
war should be repealed every
clear headed man knows that the
time for repeal has not yet arriv-
ed: that it is still far off and
nothing is to be gained by press
ing the subject now. In our
humble judgment the best course
for the Democrats in Congress
to pursue is to take the advice of
that friend of the South, the
Washington Post, and ''allow
sleeping dogs to lie'. A short
time ago the Post in discussing
the proposed movement for the
repeal of the two amendments
called attention to the fact that
they had been placed in coma
tose condition by the decisions
of the United States Supreme
Court and if permitted to remain
in that condition they would
cease to be a menace to the peace
and civilization OF the South.
This view is shared by many
of the leading Democratic papers
of the North which while ad,
mitting that the adoption of the
amendments was a great blunder
which was little short of a crime,
and predicting that they will
eventually be repealed although
the process will necessarily be
slow advise against the party
following the leadership of Sena-
tor Carmack. The Cleveland
Plain Dealer is in accord with
! the opinion expressed by the
Washington Post, and thinks
/ that the movement proposed by
Senator Carmack and Represen
tative Hardwick will not only
fail. but mischief will result,
because "the attempt to annul
the fifteenth amendment is apt
! to arouse resentment and
strengthen the demand for the
enforcement of the penalties
provided for violation Of the
fourteenth amendment. The
Boston Advertiser in much the
same line says: THE Southern
States may disfranchise the
negro and the North be silently
tolerant. When it comes to a
campaign to magnify this silence
into a speech of approval North
ern antipathies are at once
aroused and all other national
questions, are dwarfed in the
face of the new ISSUE.
We are convinced that the
Boston paper has struck close
to the trN bh because it has been
evident for some years that the
