Just to be good, to keep life pure
from degrading clements, to make it
constantly helpful in little ways to
those who are touched by it, to keep
ones spirit always sweet, and avoid
all manner of petty anger and irrita-

Is difficult-S Smiles.

| enjoyed reading Mr.. Watson's
speech very much. I think, if we
will just heed what Tom said, we
will get a great benefit from it.
I think that the Farmers Union
did good thing when they accepted
Mr.. Watson's offer to help the union.

an Office, but, if he did, would rath-

Our Greater Production.

Editors Weekly Jeffersonian:
was surprised to read statement
that the south since 1880 has changed
from agricultural to the manufactur-
ing column of industries. 1t was said
that in 1880 the product of southern
fields was 100000 in value more
than the output of our factories, and
now the latter is annually 100000, 900
more than the values of our agricul-
tural outputs. These facts suggest
another great advance we should
make to get more population in the
south to manufacture our home raw
materials and consume our field food
stuffs. Then we will live in the en-
joyment Of real southern independ-
ence." But let us seek our immigrants
from American rather than European
sources. MARCUS L. BEARDEN.

invaders Of his motherland. He won
great distinction as warrior, but in
1772 he was exiled and came to Ameri-
ca. When the Revolution came on he
raised legion of horsemen in Penn
sylvania and Joined the patriot army.
The Moravian women of Bethlehem
embroidered q banner for him, and
when, after many bloody encounters,
he was wounded mortally at Savan-
nah, the banner was used as his wind
ing sheet when he was buried. Long
fellow immortalized the episode in one
of his stirring lyrics. There is a mon
ument to Pulaski In Savannah, and
one of our nohlest counties is named
in hts honor.
Also, it was on March 4, 1883, that
Georgia's great commoner," Alexan-
der Hamilton Stephens, died in guber-
Material harness in Atlanta. Our great
state had no nobler. more unself1sh
and seer-like patriot. We cannot too
impresively teach our children the
record Of the life Of one so conse-
Grated to the love of state and coun-
try.

On Qualified Franchise.

Editors Weekly, Jeffersonian:
I find in northern newspaper an
editorial on the negro suffrage ques-
tion that says the only reason the peo-
pie of the north object to our laws
in southern states that disfranchise
so many negroes is that we don't
make the laws impartial. That edi-
tor says If we would only disfran-
chise white men just as we do the
negroes-for exactly the same reasons
and be fair and honest In enforcing
the disqualifications against both
colors, then nobody on earth could. or
would, find cause to criticise our laws.
That sounds good and, in the long
run, that's what will happen in all our
southern states, except as to our old
Confederate and Federal and other
soldiers, who had no chance to get an
education. We have the right to ex.
empt' them without violating any prin-
ciple OF law or equity as regards the
masses.
We farmers, especially, know the
great need Of having a safely and Just
ly qualified franchise. We have suf-
fered too long and too much from vot-
ers, both in town and country. who
could be bought by our enemies with
money and whisky.
A pure and free ballot, and a fair
count, is the surest salvation of our
interests in the future.
Yours for the rule OF intelligence
and equity. WILLIAM MALONE.

Some Unsettled Questions.
Hon. Thomas E. Watson:
l am only a travelling man, but
would like to ask you or some author
ity among your readers, a few Ques-
tions that perplex me-
1st. Has the Southern Railway Com
pany license from the federal gov
ernment to do business in Georgia?
I'd. If not, how can it do business in
Georgia without the consent of the
state?
8. How can the state allow it to do
business as a corporation, unless it
gets charter from the state as state
corporations must do?
4th. If it has no state charter can
not the state refuse it the right to do
business in and upon it's territory?
Who will kindly answer me, and
SSmany other independent citizens.
these questions in the order that /
have asked them?

That "YeIIowed" Peach.
Dear Mr.. Watson:
Your editorial on Depew, "the
Peach" was a gee-whizzer. The
American senate has pretty staunch
or greatly depraved stomach to stand
the presence and the impudent hypoc-
risy of that political yegg-man of the
Vanderbilts and their allies. Depew
is Oily Cannon, Uriah Heap and
Jeremy Diddler-a three-ply proxy of
the Hearst-labeled "plunderbund"
Wouldn't you hate to be New York

the State? 1 would. Yours with best
wishes. JAMES MITCHELL.

said d9 Vr. mt D. 330: THE constitutional
provision does not touch the machinery by
which taxes shall be assessed or collected.
Every system of taxation consists of two
parts-the one relating to the assessment
1.-THE designation of the persons or things
which Shall be the subject of taxation, and
the appertionment of taxation among such
persons or things in the ratio prescribed
ky law): the other the collection OF taxes
by the enforced payment thereof. The con-
stitutional provision in question relates
only to the assessment of taxes, and in
ton of the burden of taxation as would
result from the designation of the prop
erty which shall be the subject of tax
alton, and the apportionment of the taxes
thereon, under general laws and by uni
form rules, according to its true value. The
assessed or collected is left in legislative
discretion"

Is not in conflict with our constitutional
provision that property shall be as

Eugene Fleigeny. "A years old. of 9 South
Sixth street. Harrison. who was arrested
Saturday night by Policeman Duffy on
complaint of his wife, Elizabeth Fleigeny,
the latter alleging that he was abusing
her and calling her vile names, was fined
$40. which he paid. Mrs 1Fleigeny said
that her husband last week took a trip
to Brooklyn, and on his return started to
mlstreat her at home. Flelgeny said, after
being fined by Judge Harrison, that "he
was going back to Brooklyn again. and
would remain there"
Being charged with indulging in profanity

Harrison, was given a hearing and a fine
of $40 was imposed IN him, with the al
Tentative of spending three months in the
penitentiary. He was taken into custody

that property ma be ranged into classes
