any, for it is fact that about one hundred
counties in Georgia do not pay penny to the
public school fund.- neither to pensions The
large counties paying this fund would have
changed it some time ago, but for the fact
they being in the minority the country counties
could hold them down. Make this change, and
our public school and pension fund is gone, for
the small counties cannot raise it. [ would
like to say also to our good prohibition friends
that when they increase the voting power Of
the large counties they stand good chance to
lose prohibition in this state.
The people Of Georgia should think we'll be-

lines in this state

HON. JIM HOGAN OF LINCOLN COUNTY,
WRITES ABOUT SMITH AND BROWN.

Agnes, Ca, May 8, 1908.
Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
Ny dear Sir: I have just finished reading
your articles in the Jeffersonian, all Of which
[ enjoy very much Your editorials show
ing the advantage given to the large counties
In Georgia over the country counties in WHIP
ing out county units and county lines are
timely and to the point; if the people of
Georgia fail to heed what you say on this line
it will not be long before they will wish that
they had.
I note that Gov. Smith says that che has
captured Tom Watson s followers and that he
is now going to bury Tom Watson" After
this think we all should rise and sing the
long meter doxology and be dismissed, for
there is not man in Georgia but knows
years ago, and this is the thanks he gets for
it,
I note also that some are making great
effort trying to show that DISTINGUISHING the
negro is issue in this campaign. IF there
is man in Georgia who believes this would
like to meet him, just to see what kind of
looking object he is. [ think he would I'M
doubtedly have 'horns and er TAIL" for we
all know that the legislature passed a law
about year ago DISTINGUISHING the negro and
the law signed by the governor. All that
is left now to be done is for the people to vote
on it in the October election. Then what has
this to do with the June primary Nothing
in the world. Then why bring it up? Simply
to try to deceive or fool few people to get
their votes.

A GOOD PLACE TO REBUKE A VICIOUS
POLICY

Perhaps we may seem to be giving this
subject more attention than it ought to have,
but we are not. The action of the Southern
Senators in failing to fight the subsidy not
only marks serious departure from the best
Southern tradition but it is a vicious extern
sion of the Governments already 6uch-ex-
aggerated policy Of pampering manufacturers
and commerce at the expense Of agriculture.
"We need Ships" it is said, therefore we
will take the revenues we get from some ship
ping interests and substitute new ships" AS
we'll might we say: "We need to grow more
cowpeas; therefore we will take the revenues
derived from the farmers raising cowpeas and
use as bounties to get more farmers to raise
cowpeas." That idea seems monstrous.
doesn't it? And yet the newness of the
agricultural bounty idea as compared with
the commercial bounty idea, only illustrates
the great economic truth which Adam Smith
pointed out in his fWealth of Nations in
1776, and which has been as true of America
as of Europe. He said
The policy of some nations has given
extraordinary encouragement to the industry
OF the country; that of others to the industry.
Of towns. Scarce any nation has dealt equally
and impartially with every sort of industry,
Since the downfall Of the Roman Empire the
policy of Europe has been more favorable
to arts, manufactures and commerce than TO
agriculture, the industry Of the country"
AS the South is now the one section of
country of which it is true there are more
people engaged in farming than in all other
occupations combined, it is peculiarly the
duty of Southern Congressman to stand
against further extension of the worldwide
policy of exploiting agriculture; and the ship
subsidy is good place to make the stand

HARv1E JORDAN PLAYING DOUBLE, AS
USUAL.
Watkinsville, Ca, May

Watkinsville, Ga, May 9, 1908
7. E. Watson, Thomson, Ca
Dear Sir: In The Cotton Journal of the
3Oth Of April, 1908, on page 10, you will find,
"Work for the Month of May" by Harvie
Jordan, the biggest piece of bear dope, &C
cording to my notion, that have heard of
lately. He says that the month Of April has
been an ideal one for planting. In our section
we did not get to pillow two weeks Of the
MONTH and he says that we had just enough
rain for termination and that we go into May
we'll up with planting and generally good
stands Of cotton.
Now, if Oconee, Oglethorpe, Wilkes, Clarke,
Jackson and Walton counties are on an aver
age with the rest of the cotton belt, am sure
that half the crop was not planted on the first
Of May.
want to ask your pardon for thinking that
you were little hard on Harvie but now I
see that you knew what you were talking
about, and if you feel like it, hit him again,
for he deserves it. But maybe our section is
all that had lots Of rain during the months Of
March and April. Look over the records and
see. Yours truly,
P. W. DURHAM.

THE JEFFERSONIA

and strongest prohibitionists of the state have
declared time and again that prohibition is no
issue in this campaign.
The real issue in this campaign is the new
rule gotten up by Governor Smith and his
committee to disfranchise about one hundred
and twenty-five of the country counties of
this state. This is the most damnable propo-
sition that has been presented to the people
of Georgia since the days Of Bulloch. I do
not believe that even Bulloch would have adj
vocated such thing. Now let s look into this
just little
When our forefathers framed the constitu-
ton of Georgia they arranged for the six
largest counties Of the state to have three rep
resentatives in the legislature and twenty-six
next largest to have two each, the remainder,
regardless of population, one each.
They also arranged for each county to have
twice the number Of delegates to the state
convention that they have representatives in
the legislature This was done to protect the
small country counties, and to allow the mi
norities of the state some showing.
To illustrate, suppose Gov. Smith and Col.
Joe Brown should each carry about the same
number Of counties but Gov. Smith getting
majority of the votes in the state, the dele
gates from the counties carried by Joe Brown,
under this new rule, would be appointed Hoke
Smith delegates, giving one man control over
the whole convention, there would be large
minority at home without any representation
whatever. This is not democracy, but impe-
riallsm, or one man power.
Under the old rule Fulton, the largest coun-
ty In the state, has six votes in the state con-
vention, and Echols, the smallest county, has
two, giving Fulton, with a population Of about
10000 just three times the power in the state
convention to nominate a governor and state
house officers that Echols, with a population
Of about 1000, has. Under this new rule
made by our reformed governor Fulton would
have more than thirty times the power of Ech-
ols
1t can be seen that this rule gives a few Of
the large counties the power to control the
entire politics of the state. The man who
votes for Hoke Smith, votes for this rule and
to endorse this rule means to wipe out county
units and county lines in Georgia. This done
1t is goodbye John to the small counties The
next step will be to increase the representa-
tlves of the larger counties in the legislature
according to population. This would give Full
ton twelve or fifteen representatives instead Of
creased in the same proportion. This is no
idle talk, for they have been agitating for
some time of giving each of the large counties
a state senator believe this will come after
1910. Then several more of the small counties

Cure rams.

For two hams and shoulders of ordi- nary size take one cupful salt, one teaspoonful saltpetre, place on stove until quite warm. It Is better to warm meat before rubbing, although not ab- solutely necessary, but the salt strikes in quicker.
 Now take a small amount of the mixture and rub the meat. Keep in a warm place for few hours. In three to six days repeat this. In five days 1t is ready to smoke, which can bs done in hogshead with hickory, sas. safras or corncobs. Smoke slowly two to three hours twice, which ought to be sufficient to make it good deep color.
