The New Orleans Picayune says

Inc New orleans Plcayune says
that what the south wants above
everything is a great white popula
ton. The Negroes are all right. ii
declares, if they will work, but they
are becoming constantly less reliable
They are eroWding to the towns and
cities, where they can find oppcrtuni
ties for spasmodic employment or
even to live without any honest work.
That paper urges that white labor
must be got from the northern states
and from foreign countries.
On the other hand, according 70 the
Washington Post, it appears as if
some of the Afro-Americans do fairly
well in the towns and make good use
of their "spasmodic employment" It
publishes the following statement of
Mrs Daniel A. Tompkins, cotton mill
owner Of Charlotte, N. c., at the Ra-
leigh:
II you mean in respect to disturb
ing influences" he replied, eve have
no race problem. A few of the col
ored people break the law sometimes
but so do some of the white people.
The great bulk of the colored people
IN North Carolina are doing good
work, and many are saving money.
There are three building and loan as
socistions in Charlotte, and each has
q q very fair proportion of colored mem
bers. Through these agencies many
OF them own houses. Quite number
also have savings bank accounts
The Washington Herald gives the
following: For my part, said Mr.,
G. G. Foote, successful business
man and manufacturer of Macon. Ga.

Well, perhaps it did some years
back: but a change seems to have
come over the spirit CT the aforesaid
WoEld's dream, and the homage seems
at present, to be somewhat, more or

the following:
.'The Glasgow Herald. perhaps the
most Influential paper in Scotland
says of the recent race riots in the
southern parts Of the United States:
The news from Georgia reads like
a story of Russian barbarities. If We
substitute Atlanta for Odessa and
murdered Negroes for tortured Jews
we can draw no distinction between
the tales Of cruelty and horror except
that the shame attaching to the mis-
deeds OF an Ignorant populace and
tie inf1amed soIdfery deepens into
lnfamy VIXEN the actors in such out
bursts of savagery are men usually

the rights and privileges Of any other
human being, is something entirely
beyond the capacity Of some southern
men to grasp. Their only idea is that
the Afro-American was created for
the eenefit Of his white brother in ac-
co o'ei with the teachings of the
ante-cellum southern pulpit. To peo-
PIE 50 unfortunately trained, it avails
nothing in the way Of convincing them

LAUDED THE FAITHFUL SOUTH

Hon. John Temple Graves of
Georgia, accompanied Hon. W.
j. Bryan upon his visit to Chicago
this week, and followed the brilliant
Nebraskan in a speech before the
Jefferson Club, whose guests they
were. Mr.. Graves spoke at some
length, his theme being "The
South Has a Definite Democracy, ,
from which the press reports give
several extracts.
In opening his address, Mr..
Graves said that both the section
and the adjective are entitled to
respect, because in the political
cataclysm of two years ago the
south was all that was definite
and, in fact, all that was visible
of any kind of democracy.
''The South has," said Fir.
Graves "been for two decades the
saving remnant of the party. 1t
has been the little leaven that will
leaVen the lump"
The speaker declared that the
presidential election of 1904 was
the most instructive lesson that
the times had taught to the dem
ocratic party.
"Wehave always failed, "he said
''and will always fail as a party
of negatiOn and party of opposi-
ton. We failed because we were
untaithful, because we trimmed,
hesitated and straddled. We fail
ed because we compromised with
theIapparently successful doctrines
of the republican party and pand-
cred to the power that held the
government"
The speaker said he was GER
tain "that bold, definite plat
form of popular rights and public
honesty will sweep the ballots of
1908 into democratic avalanche.
Roosevelt is the only republican
who has a hold upon the people.
All that is good about the presi-
dent is democratic, and against
all that is democratic in him his
party protests. E"
Mr.. Graves closed with a conf
dent prediction of democratic sue
cess in the next presidential cam
paign.

NEGLECT OF DUTY. SEEMINGLY

Georgia has about 100000
white voters. There were five
candidates for the Democratic
nomination for Governor in a long
and hotly contested primary, in
which only 163,951 votes were
cast, Hoke Smith receiving over
1000 of these, or over four to
one more than Howell received.
Commenting on this fact, the
Philadelphia Press says: "The
election proper has ceased to count
in Georgia, as in other Southern
States. All is settled at the white
Democratic primary. This pri,
mary is established by law. It is
surrounded by the same safeguards
as an election. In the present
instance it brought on a canvass
such as has been unmatched for
virulence, for excitement and for
anxious endeavor to bring every
vote to the polls. The practical
result of this election is that the
Governor of the State is chosen by
a vote of one-fifth as large as the
entire number of voters in the
State, 500, 752, by share of the
white vote barely one third, or
"a, 497, out of 800, 600, and that in
Georgia two thirds of the adult
American citizens withinsits bord-
ers have no share and take no part
in the selection of their rulers,
who are chosen by one citizen in
five. If any man imagines that
States can be wisely ruled, Amer
lean principles maintained, or the
future kept secure when the great
mass, two thirds of the adult
American citizens of State, take
no share in the choice of their
rulers, he is forgetful of the lessons
of the past and blind to the sure
verdict of the future"

Chew What You Know About and
Know What You Are Chewinu

There is real pleasure in chewing
the best tobacco grown-where the
best tobacco grows-in the famous
Piedmont Country.
Only choice selections of this
well-matured and thoroughly cured
tobacco is used in making
SCHNAPPS. That why SCEINAPPS
and others of the Reynolds brands,
as shown by the Internal Revenue
statistics for a fiscal year, made the
wonderful growth of six and one
quarter million pounds, or a net
gain of one-third of the entire
increased consumption of chewing
and smoking tobaccos in the United
States.
Evidently, ctewers cannot resist
thefavor and they cheer SCHNAPPS
because SCF1NAPPS cheers them
more than any other chewing to-
bacco, and every man that chews
SCHNAPPS passes the good thing
along chewer makes other

tablished that there are many more

AN ECHO or THE CONVENTION

The Savannah Press quotes Mr..
George W. Owens, an Estill de-
legate to the recent State Conven-
ton, as follows:
at was the most remarkable
convention | have ever attended,
and many who have been attend
ing conventions for years agreed
with me in this statement, y he
said. '"The delegates up there
were not politicians and over half
of them were attending conven-
ton for the first time.
Everything was Hoke Smith
and they carried out the old say
ing that ito the victor belongs the
spoils, and they did not hesitate
to take everything that was COM
ing their way. They would not
hear of anything but Hoke Smith
and person that had not voted
for and supported Hoke Smith,
was like a fish out of water.
81 nominated Mr.. Anton p.
Wright for member of the execu-
tive committee from Chatham
county, but Mr.. 81. G. Green took
the place. | then nominated Hon.
W. G. Charlton for the appoint
ment from the state at large, but
could not even get a second to my
nomination.
"While the nomination caucus
was being held, Mr.. 81. G. Greene
wanted me put out of the caucus,
because he said I was not a Hoke
Smith man. He said it was a Hoke
Smith meeting and that | had no
right to be there. | answered the
gentleman, telling him that I was
a representative from Chatham
county and that 1t was a conven-
ton of Democrats of Georgia and
not Hoke Smith meeting, and
therefore had a right to represent
my county.
"This only illustrates that they
forgot that they were there for
anything else except Smith.
"While my presence there did
no good, was glad that Chatham
county was represented. Many
people had heard that we would
not send a representative on
account of having been defeated :,
and [ went in order to show them
that we could take a defeat grace
fully and await our time"
Mr.. Henry G. Green, who was
not delegate from Chatham
county but who attended the con-
vention was made a member of
the State Executive Committee.
Mr.. George w. Owens is a well
known and prominent lawyer of
Savannah.
Henry G. Green is the operator
of picture frame store. He was
arrested some time ago for dis
orderly conduct by Policeman Col
Inns and fined by the recorder.
The case was certioraried to the
mayors court. In the presence
of the mayor, several alderman,
witnesses and others Green mali
ciously shot Policeman Collins,
who finally recovered from the
wounds but, it is said is a physical
wreck therefrom. Greene was
tried and acquitted, Ias is usually
the result in such cases there.
This is the specimen of man
appointed on the state executive
committee.

chewers and pounds of tobacco
chewed, to the population, in those
States where SCF4NAPPS tobacco
was first sold than there are in the
States where SCHNAPPS has not
yet been offered to the trade.
SCHNAPPS is like a cup of fine
Java coffee, sweetened just enough
to bring out its natural, stimulating
qualities. SCHNAPPS pleases all
classes of chewers: the rich, be-
cause they do not find a chew that
really pleases them better at any
price; the poor, because it is more
economical than the large 1Oc. or
15c. plugs and they get their mon
ey's worth of the real snappy, slim
ulating flavor so appreciated by to-
bacco lovers. All limitations con-
tain much more sweetening than
SCHNAPPS. They are made that
way to hide poor tobacco improp-
erly cured.
For the man who chews tobacco
for tobacco s sake, there is no chew
like SCE3NAPPS. s,>.
