The state democratic committee did not act
khe party but rather against certain candi-
", or for particular candidate. The peo-
so understand it and will rebuke it.
The Chamber of Commerce, that is the otl-
Nrs and executive committee, held an 1mpor-
AIT meeting at Col. jays Office Thursday after
noon There's business doing. Fitzgerald's
business, at that.
Martin v. Calvin was defeated for the legis-
1ature in Richmond county by plurality OF
eighteen votes His defeat is distinct loss to
the state. He was one of the best men in pub
lie life in Georgia.
We want to see Chief Smith get out his dog
gun before the weather gets warmer. We have
material enough here for a hundred cases OF
rabies. We appeal to him in the name OF
dog.ridden 1ea-bitten humanity.

Williams have :st completed the division OF the
Reason Dormny estate between the widow and
-four minor children. The farm, one of the best
in the county, has been surveyed and plated by
Surveyor Barnes and the allotments made.
The Fitzgerald people are together on the new
county proposition. We predict success Tor these
people. Fitzgerald really needs new county,
anyway. People in Cordele know how to SYM
pathize with an active town that furnishes lots
Of litigation and yet is eight or ten miles from
county seat.-Cordele Rambler.

too much in evidence in state politics, but his
last bold feat of leadership has been recorded.

Why, yes that pledge is all right. We are glad
HIamp thought about it. Then it was so thought
full of Hamp to give us plenty time to make it
unanimous for Hoke.
The easiest thing in the world is to con-
kinue to harp about sanitary conditions IN the
spring time. The talk of sanitation is about as
Ncommon as the birds chirp and too often attracts
hbout the same amount of attention. We are in
dead earnest about the matter when we appeal
ko the mayor and his sanitary committeeto give
lis all the protection that we are entitled to,

The clear headed fair minded, C. B.
Allen of the Moultrie Observer closes a timely
diterial on the action of the state committee in
lis paper with the following language:
TT is time for democratic leaders and
party officials to sit steady, pilot wisely and
teer clear of the breakers. 1t is not time for
nibbling, trifling and trickery.
THE committee should have met quietly,
one and said but little and then adjourned.
Is action does not meet the approval of ma.
~ority of the democrats of the state.
Judge Galloway of the State Democratic
&ommittee in advocating his scheme for the ex-
fusion of populists votes, stated that twenty
bree thousand populists had voted as party
h the last National election. The Judge might
s lave gone further and stated that there were
& vice that many populists few years ago and
& hat they had returned to the democratic party
here they belong and where they needed
81 nd wanted by every white mans man in the
mrty, and it is the highest democratic duty to
hvite them back into the party.

ia The Savannah Morning News says that
he aim of the committee was clearly to pro-
st the party" In the same editorial it quotes
a Mmmtteeman E. H. Galloway as saying in his
beech before the committee that if the demo-
M Eatc party is to survive, it must have an or.
i limitation and must be national in its scope.
Now the national democratic party is a minori-
rty and if it were possible to secure Gala
y in each state ito protect the party" we
81 su1d be practically certain to remain in the
III ,tanority.
