people. They vote upon it as separate
issue at the October election, and neither
candidate for governor has thing to do
with the result of the ballot. In other
words, the disfranchisement of the negro
is now an issue which is up to the people,
and the people themselves pass on it, for
or against, when they vote for governor
in October.
The Jeffersonian is not, at present, for
Hoke Smith nor for Joe Brown. 1t has
no intention of supporting either, but
we think it due to Our readers that they
should have an unbiased and honest opin-
ion, from time to time, on matters touch
ing the campaign.

Mr.. Hearst and His League.

In the Chicago election, which came
off in the fall of 1906, the independence
League, whose nature was not then SO
we'll understood, polled vote of 10000.
In the election which came off in the
same city last week the League pol1ed
only 1900 votes The total vote in the
city was $4,000; therefore it will be seen
that Mr.. Hearst's league is losing ground
surprisingly.
Why is this? There never was time
when a really independent movement
might be expected to drum up larger
following. In Chicago, particularly, one
would suppose that party names and
party ties amount to almost nothing. Yet
with all his newspaper influence and all
of his financial resources, and with all
Of the strength of a tWo-year or
ganization, Mr. Hearst finds his follow
ing in Chicago reduced to insignifcance.
We believe that the true explanation
lies in the fact that the people have lost
confidence in Mr.. Hearst as a reformer.
Ever since he made his deal with Murphy
the Tammany boss-a man whom Mr.
Hearst had denounced as criminal who
ought to be sent to Sing Sing-those who
had previously believed in Mr.. Hearst be-
came very much shaken. When he fol-
lowed up his alliance with Murphy by
confederating with the Republicans in
the next campaign, there was hardly any
thing left for Mr.. Hearst except that
which he could buy.
AS soon as it began to be known that
the independence League was copy
righted affair, which was the private
property of Mr.. Hearst, and which pos
sessed no independence whatsoever, his
chances for winning public favor were
gone. There is too much individuality
among the American people, and too
MUCH inborn tendency toward individual

Legislature to amend the law in such a
way as to make it impossible for the
liquor dealers to whip the devil around
the stump by selling whiskey and other
intoxicants under the alluring and de-
ceptive name of soft drinks"
The recent decision of the Court of Ap-
peals emphasizes the necessity for put
ting some limit upon the amount of al
cohol which may be lawfully used in the
so-called soft drinks 1t appears to be
admitted on all sides that a certain
amount of alcohol may be lawfully used
in the making of soft drinks" as we'll
as in the making of certain medicines.
This being SO, it is easy to see how the
privilege can be abused. Under the pre-
tense of selling medicines and soft
drinks" INSCRIPTIONS dealers will hand
out to boys, as we'll as to men, beverages
that are just as harmful as whiskey itself
would be. Consequently, it is highly i'm
portant that the prohibition leaders
should come to some decision as to what
percentage of alcohol shall be made law
full in the preparation of medicines and
soft drinks" Then, when the percentage
is agreed on, the Legislature should adopt
it and make illegal and penal the use of
any greater percentage of alcohol.
AS to the Acknowledgement law, it grew
out of the speech which Mr.. Watson
made in Atlanta on the night of Septem
Der I, 1904. Following this address, in
which Populist aid was publicly pledged
to the Democrats if they would, in good
faith, propose the disfranchisement of
the negroes in order to bring about po-
litical independence for the whites, Con-
gresham T. w. Hardwick visited Mr..
Watson at his home, and proposed such
an alliance between the Democrats and
the Populists Mr.. Watson agreed, and
he and Mr.. Hardwick both contemplated
the Hon. Pope Brown as the candidate
who should make the race for governor,
with a disfranchisement plank as the
leading feature of his platform. Mr. Pope
Brown entered the race, accordingly, and
everything appeared to be moving as we'll
as could be expected, when suddenly,
without any consultation with Mr.. Wat
son, or any previous notice to him, Pope
Brown was retired and Hoke Smith sub
stituted After this was done, there were
several weeks of hesitation on the part
Of Mr. Watson before he finally decided
that, on account of the principle involved
and the position of Mr. Hardwick, he
would 60 forward and carry out, in good
faith, his part of the contract.
The rest of it is we'll known. When it

1t has been many months, in
fact some say year, since the soil
in this vicinity has been as well
soaked bv rain, as at the present
time. 1t is scarcely possible to
estimate the value of this moist
ure to the farmers the county
over. The majority of the far
mers have sown almost all of
their winter wheat, not a little
of which has been above the
ground for some time but has
been held back from the lack of
moisture. The rains of the past
week will give the tender plants
new life and will contribute to
their growth.
While the rain was not gen.
eral throughout the county, in
the vicinity of Condor, the rain
fall was heavy for this season Of
the year.

One of the strangest of all the pag-

Jews. Moses is prophet OF the high
est honor. But, rejecting the traditions
of the Hebrews. they refuse to believe
that he was buried in valley In the
land OF Moab, as is described In the
last chapter of Deuteronomy. Instead
they assert that he was buried where
be breathed his last, upon the summit
Of Mount Nebo.

At last the procession forms. with
