That is abe view the Washington

Sun, a paper that is clamoring for
the ffeet 60 stay in Atlantic waters
for fear it's trip to the Pacific may
give offense to Japan and bring on
war. The Post says:
Better every war craft under our

One of the most interesting exhibits
at the coming State fair, which will
open in Atlanta October 10th, will be
the big vehicle display. The exhibit
this season will be installed in the
old government building, one of the
best locations on the grounds. Every
kind of vehicle known in this coun-

and the planters are expected to

GEORGIANS TO GIVE
TO-DAY TO ORPHANS
Collections Last Saturday Were
Not Large.

Owing to the fact that last &atur-
day, the regularly appointe a or
phans work day, was married by RAINY
and inclement weather, which made
it impossible for many hundreds to
work for the orphans, it bag been
decided to make today another Or
phans work day.
Because of rain last Saturday the
children in the country could not pick
cotton and do other farm work, and
those in the towns and cities could
not carry out their plans to earn
funds for the orphans.
Unless this Saturday is observed
as an orphans work day, it will
mean decrease in the receipts of the
various orphans homes of about $1O,-
900.
Almost every one of these homes
are in debt, because of the increase
ed cost of living, the erection of new
buildings and improvement, and it is
hoped that thousands of Georgia
people will devote the earnings today
to the deserving and praisworthy in
situations.
Those interested can make dona-
tons through the Sunday schools,
which will give the matter attention
Sunday morning, or they can deal
direct with the orphans home of
their choice.

WILL NEGROES DEFEAT TAFT.

The New York Press, stalwart De-
publican paper, expresses the opinion
that a Democrat will be elected Pres
ident next year if Taft is made the
Republican nominee, and this opinion
it proceeds to support with some
/ figuring.
1t shows that with Oklahoma there
will be 4S3 electoral votes next year
of which 242 will be needed to elect.
/ The South, including Oklahoma, has
176 of these votes, and all of them
may be conceded to the Democrats if
| Taft is nominated which leaves sc
votes to be gained in the North.
| The Press is convinced that New Jer-
sey will go as New York goes, and
/ Mr.. Taft cannot carry either of these
! States. New York has SO electoral
votes and New Jersey u, making a
total of 81, which, added to 176, gives
| 227 electoral votes, only ID less than
are needed to elect. In reply to its
own question: Where are these votes
to be obtaind the Press says:
We'll, Indiana has them. and in In
diana there is a very large voting
population that is black. Ohio has
them, with nine more to boot. And
in Ohio not only is there a large col
ored vote, but there are factional hat
reds and warnings, The disastrous
consequences of which we expect to
see illuminated wildly when the bal
lots are counted in the race between
Burton and Johnson for Mayor of
Cleveland
Then there is the Pacific Coast,
where people have been highly ex
cited by the Asiatic attitude of the
administration and where the tariff
views of Mr. Taft are denounced by
the Republican voters and their news
papers. The Pacific coast has several
more than enough electoral votes to
span that margin of the needed fiji
teen"
This is interesting so far as it goes,
but it is predicted on the belief that
the negro Republican vote in the
North will be cast against Taft be-
cause he stood by President Roose-
Welt in the Brownsville affair. But
there are probably not many RepuD-
licans who are afraid of the negroes
breaking away from their party next
year if Taft is the presidential nom
inee.
1t is quite certain that Bryan and
other Democrats are not basing any
hopes upon the detection of negro
voters in the North
However, the New York Press ad-
heres to the belief that something
must be done to conciliate the negro
voters if a Republican is to be elected
next year The G. o. P. must appease
the end of its tail

GOOD WATER AT NAMPA.
Shown by an Analysis Made by City
Physician.

A number of complaints have been
made recently about the city water,
some claiming that 1t Is impure, says
the Nampa Leader. DR.. Ross, the
city physician, yesterday made a
thorough chemical test of the water
and in his report this morning stated
that the water now used is far above
the standard.
The test showed that there is not
particle of foreign substance or
germ of any kind. The water is very
soft with Just touch of salt and upon
the whole is far above the average
deep we'll water.
DIR. Ross stated in certain sections
of the city, where water is not
drawn from the mains sufficiently
fast enough, the water takes the odor
from the wooden pipes. This can be
easily prevented by more often
flushing the mains.

GREEN CORN PICKED At DAWSON JULY 4

the season he planted them in his
green house, and, as soon as they
had caught up, transplanted them to
his garden. On July the first ears
were ripe for gathering, and john
son and his family enjoyed a meal.
AS July 4 is very early and as there
is a month and half of good grow
ing weather after that date in Daw-
son, it may be taken for granted that
corn can be ripened perfectly in that
latitude.
Preparations are being made to
plant field of corn for next summer,
and as a result Dawson people will
feast on cheap fresh corn instead of
paying, as the present, 25 cents for a
small cob of the preserved kind. And
