JUDGE SUPERIOR COURTS
-----CIRCUIT.
JUNE Z, 1906.


J. E. MERCER,
Fitzgerald, Ga.
DEAR JESS.
notice in the Journal of today communl-
cation from you dated June 6, 1906, in which
you refer to the report in the Constitution pur-
porting to come from a prominent citizen of
Fitzgerald, and which you say: Il am prepared
to prove him the biggest liar that has caught
the attention of the public in recent years.
Now, write simply to propose to bet with you
that you can't do it. am going to enter against
him Clark Howell, provided Clark Howell is the
author of all the lies in the editorial department
of the Constitution.
What say you? Will you bet with me?
Won't you take back your statement and make
your man second as liar and mine first?
Very truly your friend,

Very truly your tr1end,
The above letter was received in yester-
days mail, but we have concluded not to bet
with the Judge. Hanlon says its wrong to bet.
We do not believe that Clark Howell is
liar. We believe however, that he is willing to
allow misleading statements published in his
paper for the temporary advantage he may
derive in his race for governor. That is not so
much sin, but sort of weakness. Clark is
in the hands of his friends, very largely, and
he must not be considered strictly as the
author of all the lies in the editorial department
of the Constitution"
The writer of the above quoted letter is
we'll known and highly esteemed Judge of the
Superior Court. He is himself reformer and
has instituted reforms in many of the counties
of his circuit. He understands fully the cor
rupting influences of political mbination
that decade after decade controls the Offices and
shapes Legislation. He understands that in order
to do this the Office holders and ring politicians
court the influence of large corporations and
trade favors all too often with them
But we shall decline to bet with the Judge.
The most pertinent and significant feature
or CanQ1Qdte dOKe Smltn 8 WISH 10 DdTleu WHICH
has been so much discussed in the press is the
one touched on by the Hon VIM. Clifton, one of
the smartest politicians in Georg and one of
her best known citizens in an interview immed
lately after Mr.. Smith delivered his speech
without the hope or prospect of personal advau-
tage Col Clifton said:
ut is possible to disfranchise the negro and
not disqualfy white man in McIntosh, and l
believe the people will vote to plish this
result. l want to be understood as not mixing
in the gubernatorial campaign, but have no
hesitancy in saying that the salvation of Nc
Intosh depends ubon the elimination of the negro
from politics in Georgia
$50 long as the negro is allowed to vote, ust
so long will the good old county of Mcintosh con-
tinue to suffer. The whites are out numbered
in voting strength by at least three 10 one, and
there is absolutely no chance to restore former
conditions.
If the white primary and poll tax provision
would save the county, we would be all right, but
it won't work in Mcintosh. If the whites have
a primary, there is nothing to prevent the ne
groes from holding black primary and beating
us three to one at the polls on election day.
"The lands of the county are cheapened by
virtue of the negro influence. Outside capital
refuses to invest in our lands, and will continue
to do so until the negro is eliminated"

helps, butts not necessary. Any
farmer can make the drag in two
hours at no money expense. A
costly drag will do no better
work.
To operate the drag simply
drive on the wagon track so that
one horse walks in a horse path
and the other walks outside the
track and the rear end of the
drag Is about the middle Of the
road. This fills each track with
dirt and carries a little to the
middle of the road. Of course,
the roadway must be comparat-
lively free from stumps and rocks
and fairly free from deep bitches
IN the middle. Drag the road
immediately after every rain.
Do not wait for it to dry. Drag
even when the road is slushy.
Keep this up after every rain,
not occasionally, but during the
whole year. Up and down the
road aftereach rain is enough. For
two or three months the results
will be slight. After a year of
faithful dragging the demonstr-
alton is complete. The dragging
prevents the formation of deep
rnts, gradually raises the middle
of the road, and the thin coat Of
mud spread on the surface is
..puddledo earth and has almost
the effect of a coat of cement or
concrete. Without ruts water
can not stand. and the layers of
dried mud form and impervious
covering preventing the water
from sinking into the road bed.
Kept up regularly this simple pro-
cess gives a convex surface free
from ruts and so hard that water
cannot go through it. This pre-
vents softneSS in spring. summer,
and fall, and freezing in winter.
With such conditions the road is
good all year, and iseaser on teams
and vehicles than a rock road.
As no money is required and the
work can be done when farmers
are idle, the cost IS practically
nothing. If each farmer will drag
the road from his own gate to-
ward town to his neighbours gate
the whole road would be covered.
Let the farmers on each princi-
pal road organize and use the drag
regularly ill January. and report
results to the State Good Roads
Convention. But, if organiza-
ton can not be effec ted, let each
farmer who has faith as grain
of mustsrd seed" try it, and re-
port the resultsto county and state
papers.
This editor intended to write on
the subject long ago. Heis NOV
ed now by the influence of the
Road Convention at Fort Smith.

GOOD ROADS WITHOUT COST

So closely connected with the
progress of our civilization is the
problem of good roads that a re-
ligious paper is fully justified in
giving it large space. Good
churches and schools in the rural
districts wait on good roads. How
can we get them? Macadam or
rock roads are usuallylconsidered
necessary, and as they cost 81
600 to $40, 600 a mile, their rapid
and general construction is a
practical impossibility but dirt
roads can at trivial cost be made
as good as Macadam This IS
not theory, it has been amply
demonstrated. The writer has
seen the work done and knows
the results. The process is SO
absurdly simple that people can
not be convinced without actual
trial. Will each farmer who
reads this lay aside doubt and
prejudice and experiment faith
fully for one year? Reasons will
not be given, merely the method
Follow it, and then criticise. The
only machinery is the split log
drag" so we'll advocated by Mr..
d. W. King, of Maitland Mo-.
that it is commonly called the
King drag " though MIR King
disclaims credit for any invention.
He merely applied it, To make
the drag, split into two equal
pieces a ten inch log seven feet
long. About three feet apart
bore three holes in each and in
sert strong ties or braces and
wedge them securely 50 that the
logs may be thirty inches apart
with the split sides out. On the
ties lay planks to stand on. but
do not spike. as they must often
be moved. Put a strong stake
upright in each half log to steady
the driver. Bore a hole eighteen
inches from each end of one log
and through the holes fasten a
light log chain about eight feet
long. Attach doubletree a few
inches on one side of middle of
chain so that when the drag is
pulled one end will be about two
feet ahead of the other. Hitch
a good team and let driver stand
on planks on drag. By moving
from one end to the other the
driver can give the drag any
angle desirad, and by standing
in front or rear he cay make the
front log cut more OF Jess. A

j. F. Tolton of Beaver county, a nrem-
Der of the Subcommittee which drafted
the plank, explained that it was not the
intention of the committee to put in the
clause which mentioned the spirit of the
constitution, and that it got in through
an oversight. He was decidedly in favor
of the plank as a whole, however.
I'VE are not taking from anybody the
right to run for office as an American
citizen. he said from his position on the
platform. But if a man is chosen as an

the gospel of Democracy was scattered
