Notice Of Local Option Election.

To the voters of Crittend county
Public notice is hereby given that
on Friday Dec.7, 1906, local option
election will be held in our coun.
ty. On that day the people of this
county shall say by their votes
whether the saloons shall remain here
and continue its evil work, or whether
1t shall be driven from us. That
drunkenness is a great evil and curse
is not questioned, and that the saloon
constitutes to this evil cannot be
doubted by the most casual absence.
The saloon is against the home, the
school, the church. and the moral
and religious welfare of the people.
Shall we keep it with us to do such
work and commit such evil? The
good people of Crittenden county
must say on December 18th. We be-
lieve the great majority Of our pco-
pie are against the saloon and the
liquor traffic, therefore let them come
out on the above mentioned day. and
record their votes against them.
About 81 of the 119 counties of our
fair state, besides districts in other
counties. are under local option, Not
less the Is having gone dry in the
last three months-let good old Crit
tend add another to the honored list.
But recently, our neighbor, Union
county, gave more than one thous-
and,majority for the local option law
let us 90 and do likewise.

this is the same old scare. crow which
the liquor men always hoist, on such
occasions as this, with the view Of
intimidating the more timid and fear
full, but what are the real facts in the
casep We shall not attempt to give
these ourselves but simply refer our
readers to such towns as Mayfeld,
Fulton, Clinton, Smithland, Black
ford, Murray and many others too
numerous to mention, all of which
have been without saloons for years
and..would not have them back again
for the world. If local option is cal
culated to kill town, it is exceeding
ly strange that the above named
towns, have not been killed long ago
Our temperance orators and advo-
Gates tell us that every man should
vote as he prays, This will do for
those who pray out what abo ut those
who never pray at all, how shall they
vote? To this we answer, let then
vote for God aud right.
? Another thing in discussing this
local option question, some men talk
as if money was the only thing to b.
considered. If there is anything to
be made by it, why they are in for it
but if on the other hand there is :
prospect Of loosing a few dollars By
it they are opposed to it. Why my
brother. what Is the loss of few dol
lars, when the question of the protec
ton of our homes and the salvation
of our boys and girls are at stake.

1T sTiRs UP MUCH BAD BLOOD

Apparently there is a good deal
of bad blood left in the United
States Senate as a result of the pro-
longed fight over the rate bill.
Dolliver and Aldrich no longer
speak when they meet. Bailey
and Bacon barely recognize each
other, and Bailey is at swords
points with his colleague, Culber-
son. Both Bacon and Culberson
are reported bitterly jealous of the
fame which Bailey has achieved,
and throughout the long fight they
both worked to bring him to de-
feat. Morgan, Pettus and the old
line southern senators have broken
with the younger element in their
party, and Knox and Spooner are
bitterly hostile to the White
House. 1t is pretty fight as it
stands, as Sir Lucius O'Trigger
would say, but it is considerably
more interesting to the partici-
pants than it is to the country at
large, which doesn't care much for
personal animosities.

WHERE MONEY IS STUCK AWAY

The finding of several thousand
dollars in a dwelling near Ameri-
Gus last week, where it was con-
cealed by rather eccentric lady,
reveals the fact that some women
select queer hiding places for their
Valuables. Another story is told
of charitable lady who lately
gave one of her last years hats to
a young woman who was not par
ticular as to the date of its crea-
ton. On the following day the
young woman came to her benefac-
tor and asked her if she really in
tended to give away the hat just as
it was, with all the trimmings.
She was told that such was the
case. Whereupon the young wo-
man produced 5000 which she had
found tucked away in the lining of
the hat and presented it to her ben
efactOr as a token of her grateful
appreciation, as well as of her hon
esty. By the way, how many 9th
er receptacles do the ladies carry
around with them for their val
uables.

SUCH TRASH is NOT WANTED

The day of cheap newspapers is
drawing to an end. The postof-
flee department has decided to re-
fuse second class rates of postage
to papers and magazines furnished
below cost and giving premiums to
secure subscribers, and the result
will be the death of many papers
run only for advertising purposes.
Publications of this class, without
subscribers and without merit;
without prestige and, worse, with
out reputable parentage, are
brought in competition with meri-
torious papers possessing a repu.
tation and a name and that labors
assiduously for the public veal,
asking only modest compensation
for its labor. Such a newspaper
is placed at disadvantage among a
class of the public when it must
compete with one boasting not a
single subscriber and which, in
leu CT a -sGT5scriQtion list, distrib-
utes it's printed sheets like hand
bills, free to any who will deign to
pick it up from the gutter. The
postofice department is perform
ing public service indeed in re-
f1sing such trash admission to the
mails.

The MATTER OF IMMIGRATION

The Savannah News notes the
fact that at the meeting of the cot
ton mill men in Charlotte, the
other day, Mr.. John D. Moss of
deprecated the scarcity of
immigration to the South and said
that the cotton factories were suf-
fering from the lack of labor; that
unless the immigration laws were
amended there would be a great
dearth of workers in the cotton
mills. The natives, he said, were
wandering away from the mills,
leaving the spinners in the lurch.
Unless Italians or other laborers
were brought to the Southern mills
there would be suffering in the
South.
Mr.. Moss wanted some law
passed which would amend the
restriction against contract labor
and lift the prohibition against
bringing foreigners to the South.
Upon this important subject abc
News News thus continues:
= Opinions differ about this thing
very much. Mr.. III. P. Smart
takes issue all along the line. He
does not think that the South
wants the kind of labor that is be-
ing brought to this country by
wholesale. Mr.. Smart sees dan
ger to the cotton crop from the
prospects of overproduction SD
danger to the land owner from
prospects of crowding or Of redHc-
ing the value of farm products.
He wants to see the land remain
to the Southern farmer and his
descendants and he wants to see
the conservative American resi-
dent here uncontaminated by a
foreign strain.
But what is to be done? A tide
of immigration is still coming to
this country, amounting to about
a million year. AS soon as the
North and West are settled up
that tide will undoubtedly turn to
the southwark. 1t seems that
Georgia should establish a bureau
of immigration to make a selection
and to get the best of these people,
or the state will find itself getting
the worst of the elements which
come this way. The other states
of the Union have long ago adopt
ed the method of picking and
choosing the cream of the foreign
immigration.
Of late years some of the South
ern states have followed this ex-
ample and the state of Georgia
should be represented abroad OF
at Ellis Island for purposes of pro-
lection, if not of promotion.
Now and then we hear that
farming in Georgia is suffering
from scarcity Of labor. Negroes
are coming to the towns and the
fields are suffering. What are we
to do if we do not have foreign Ia
Dor? Again, we hear that some OF
the advertising companies which
brought Italians have given them
up in disgust because they cannot
be controlled. Mr.. Smart is right
in one particular. The negro may
be shiftless and improvident, but
as rule he is content with fair
wages and is not dangerous ele-
ment among US, so far as agitation
goes.
The papers are beginning to stir
the immigration question again.
The land owners and the railroads
are talking about bringing foreign
labor to Georgia, but against this
comes calm and thoughtful pro-
test from men like Mr.. Smart,
which sets people to thinking.
