ers after next April.

Bryan and Kern are going to put it up to
Taft on the question of publicity. Mr. Bryan
believes that the people should know before the
election how the Campaign funds are secured and
what interests contribute to the funds. The
American system is making progress along this line.
We will have no more dsgraceful buying of a
presidency by the corporation that except to profit
by the election.

If the south gets ten cents and up, for the
present cotton crop and the laws against cotton
future gembling are enforced the south will grow
rich faster than ever in it's history When good
prices have prevailed and the farmers have receiv-
ed big money for the crop it has been offset by
great losses in the local bucket shops. Cotton is
the greatest money crop in the world and the
South ought to grow rich faster than any other
country. One reason that it has not is the i'm
mense losses of Southern cottonbuls who have
been annually feeced of millions of dollars by the
New York spectators.

The beef trust is one that is taxing the people
of this section tremendously extorting thousands
of dollars daily, but is all fault There are
two remedies; one is the enforcement of the law
against combinations in restraint of trade, but
there is still better remedy and one that does not
require courts and lawyers to enforce, and that is
the production of the meats at home, right here in
Ben Hill county. Every strip of bottom land in
Ben Hill is an ideal pasture for hogs and every
hill in the county is excellent range for CATTLE
Let's get busy at something real useful and starVe
the trust to death.

Miss Edna Cain the brilliant young editress
of the Quitman Free Press has been to Porto Rico
Free Press is interesting reading One short para,
graph that appeals to every Georgian who realizes
the needs of our highway system is here quoted:
'The .Spaniards built the famous military
road from San Juan across the island to Ponce.
1t is about 100 miles long and probably the finest
road in. this hemisphere 1t was built by convict
labor. The Americans have built over 400 miles
of macadam roads. And in this connection it may
be said that the island is about paradise as
an automobilist could wish. The country is per.
fectly beautiful and the roads thro vallies and
hills are like white ribbons. The military road
to Ponce affords many thrills. 1t is across the
mountains and one may see a gorge hundreds of
feet deep on one side and the mountainside rising
straight up to the sky the other. At some
turns the Atlantic is visible to the North and at
others the Carribe Sea may be to the South"

The Albany Herald in reading the Macon
Telegraph lecture political etiquette, falls into
error in the following paragraph:
The Telegraph's continued disparagement of
Bryan does the latter no harm here in Georgia,
but it furnishes the best kind OF campaign
material for the Republican newspapers at the
North and in doubtful states in the Middle
West and in that way the Telegraph, while
pretending to be a Democratic paper, is fur
nishing aid and comfort to the common enemy
of the Democratic party and doing all it
is capable of doing against the Democratic
stand bearer.
The mistake we think is in the first sentence
above quoted The states politics is so mixed and
uncertain at this time, that are not quite sure
