Decreased in Number, While

White Children of School Age Have
Decreased in Number, While
Negroes Show an Increase.
The enumeration of the school
children of Terrell county outside of
the city of Dawson has been COM
pIeted, and the enumerators have
filed their reports in the office of
County School Commissioner Wilkin-

These reports show that there are
in the county $500 children between
the ages of six and eighteen years,
an increase of .283 since 1903,
when the previous school census was
taken.
An interesting fact shown by the
census is that in the last five years
the white children of school age have
decreased 1865, their number this year
being 1869 against 1926 in 1903.
The negroes during the same time
have increased 394, their number be-
ing 4,310 in 1908 against 1861 in
1903.
Records in the office of the school
commission show that a correspond
ing state of affairs has existed here
tofore. In 1898 the number of white
school children in the county. as
shown by the census of that year, was
400 and negroes 3,474, and by 1903
the whites had decreased to 1925
and the negroes increased to 1861.
During the last ten years the num-
Der OF white children of school age in
the county has decreased about 80
per cent, and the negro children have
shown an increase of about the same
per cent.
The enumeration of the school
children in Dawson has not been
completed. sickness of Judge Sam
Pickett, who was employed to take
the census, having interfered with
the work.

Large Congregations Attend Every
Service. Much Interest Manifested.
The revival at the Baptist church
is now in its second week, and is
gaining in interest at every service.
The congregations are large, the
capacity of the church often being
taxed. Sunday night the crowd was
especially large, the attendance be-
ing one of the largest ever seer at a
religious revival in Dawson.
The meetings are being led by Rev.
c. w. Minor of Moultrie, a forceful
and effective preacher who reaches
the minds and hearts of his hearers.
Under his exhortations sinners are
being converted, and the church
membership uplifted. A number have
made application for membership.
Two services are held daily, begin
ming at 10 clock in the morning and
at 7;45 in the evening. The business
houses of the city close for the
morning service.

Candidate Kern to his Indianapolis
neighbors:
"How small is the man who will stop
in campaign time, or anysother time, to
quarrel with his neighbor because that
neighbor in his right of citizenship,
differs from him as to the best method
of government. The true American
feeling is manifest here tonight. Our
children must play together in the years
to come whether we are democrats or
republicans. They will intermarry,
they will rear families. Their lots will
be cast together; they will all be in
terested alike in promoting the welfare,
the honor and the glory of this mighty
republic, and this being so why will
men quarrel because they cannot agree?
Let US yield to our neighbor that lib
erty Of conscience which we claim for
ourselves and continue to be friends
and brothers, differing as we may in
politics, but conscientiously keeping in
constant mind that whether democrats
or republicans we all owe the same
allegiance, the same loyalty, the same
love to that grand old starry banner
which is the emblem of this, the might
est nation beneath the SUM-"

The meeting of the republican con-
gressional committee at this place was
a very dispiriting affair. There were
no words of good cheer from any county
in the district. The old Colonel, how
ever, was assured that the big republic
can majority in the district would pull
him through for the thirteenth time.
There was cold, clamy feeling pervad-
ed the meeting that was only relieved
by some one telling his political exper-
fence. Frank Abbott, who had recently
returned from Chicago, where he at
tended the republican national conven-
ton and helped to keep Cummins from
being nominated for vice president,
was full of zeal. He had never seen
Chicago before, and having seen the
sights and returned safe and sound, he
felt like giving the committee advice.
Boss Abbott believes that the injunc-
tion and labor issue as we'll as the
bank issue, should be let alone as much
as possiable. 1t don't look good to Mr..
Abbott and he advised Pete to side
step when he came across them. The
only safe issue was the tariff. There
was question that could be handled
with safety. The great and glorious
tariff! OF course it required revision,
but it was questionable whether it
should be revised up or down. Where
the tariff was too low it should be revi-
sed up and where it was too high it
should be revised down, but it's scared
character should ever and always be
kept in mind. Jimmy Bryan, Pete's
secretary, was there and he was full of
consolation and ready to lead in prayer
if necessary. The committee finally
adjourned and each member carried
home with him good sized chunk of
gloom -Creston American.

The TARIFF AS AN ISSUE.

The democratic tariff plank is straight
forward. clean-cut and unmistakable in
it's language. 1t will appeal strongly to
the independent voter, who has learned
that the tariff is not an academic ques-
ton, upon which there may be two
opinions, but that it's exactions furnish
an issue of vital Importance to every
American citizen. 1t will stir residents
of the great west, who are tired of pay
ing tribute to eastern trusts.
If the people elect democratic house
of representatives, they will know what
to expect. There will be no dispute
over the meaning of a phrase like "a
reasonable profit to American Indus
tries,' which vitiates the whole repub-
lican pledge for immediate revision of
the tariff.
Democrats say that PARTICLES enter
ing into competition with articles con-
trolled by trusts should be placed on
the free list" That means that when
ever monopoly has fastened upon the
production of any articles and has the
power arbitrarily to raise it's price
then similar articles manufactured
abroad shall be given free entry into
the country, in order that the American
people may have the benefit of compe-
tition.
The democratic platform declares
that material reductions should be
made in the tariff on necessities of life.
especially on articles competing with
such American manufactures as are sold
abroad cheaper than at home"
This means that American consumers,
robbed remorselessly by eastern trusts,
shall no longer be compelled to assist
in their own robbery by maintaining
tariff protection of the robbers.
Whatever else may be said Of the
platform, it cannot be denied that a
strong appeal has been made to inde-
pendent voters, particularly in the vote
for democratic congressman this fall
and thus to end the reign of eastern
tariff barons.

Hearst is out and says he will not
support Bryan. That was to be ex-
pected. No democrat who gave the
matter any thought ever expected any
thing else. In 1904 this same Hearst
wanted the nomination for president on
the democratic ticket, but there We're
not many who wanted him. In Iowa
he cut considerable figure because he
spent his money, that he had inherited,
freely and of course there we're A. w.
Maxwells and G. A. Walshs ready and
willing to gobble it up. They were
mighty small potatoes, few in hill
and very poor variety. There was an
objection to sending an instructed
delegation from Iowa TO the National
convention for Hearst but there had
been such an organization worked up
by this hired bunch, who have long
since joined the opposition after the
defeat of their candidate for the presi-
dency, that administrations were de-
feated and an instructed delegation
sent. There is one thing the democrats
of Adams county can be proud of and
that is the delegates to the state con-
vention in 1904 opposed the Hearst
movement and at the county conven-
tion there we're only few Hearst fol-
lowers. The democrats of the county
can now feel that they used good judg-
ment. The unfortunate feature about
the whole matter is the fact there are
certain democrats in various parts of
the district who have ever since meas
ured the democracy of the delegates
by their loyalty to Hearst. The dele
gates who onnosed destinations four
years ago can now look with consider
able pride on their oppositjon.-Corn-

John Mckay, until lately the post
master at Des Moines under Congress-
man Hull, has openly bolted Taft and will
not vote the national republicanlticket.
If the "old guard has to be kept con-
stantly in Office in order to keep it's
members in the republican party, our
gallant old members of congress will
have to create few more public jobs
for their henchmen or their machines
will disintegrate. The boiling of a
man like Mckay so soon after he has
had an Office is enough to give old
machine congressman the nervous jim
jams. How can the old machines be
kept together, anyway, if public pap
won't do it?

BRYAN'S AVAILABILITY.

In marked contrast to Taft in every
way is Mr.. Bryan. No public man in
America has ever had wider or more
intimate acquaintance with all sorts
and conditions of men than he now en-
joys. And Mr.. Bryan has travelled
widely at home and abroad, on his own
time, and at his own expense. And
even abroad in an official capacity,
Mr.. Bryan's reception was such as few
of his most eminent countrymen have
enjoyed.
He has shown splendid business and
political ability. He has risen to his
present Importance solely by his own
efforts and by ways that are wholly
commendable. He made good record
for himself in Congress.
He has enlightened and instructed
and inspired from the lecture plat
form all sorts and condition of men. He
is fearless and of intlexible denirmin-
alton whe his convictions are placed

MANY democrats who voted for Pal
mer and Buckner in 1896, regarding the
coinage issue as the most important
question of the time. supported Mr..
Bryan in 1900. Others who still regard
silverism as danger in 1900 have no
further fear of it, and will give the
present ticket their heartiest support.
Controller Metz, of New York, who was
an alternate to the Sound Money con-
vention at Indianapolis in 1896 was in
Denver last week, and as he took the
train he said: 81 am already shouting
for Bryan and Kern. like to ride on
the winning band wagon, and 1 can't
see that the Taft-Sherman combination
has chance John Dewitt Warner,
who was chairman of the New York
state committee of the Palmer and Buck
ner organization in 1896, supported
Bryan in 1900 and says: 4 shall do
everything l can to support the demo-
cratic ticket this fall. Free silver was
the sole issue on which could not sup
port Mr.. Bryan On the whole he re-
CARDS the democratic platform as far
superior to the republican platform

This list could be multiplied many
times. Hundreds of men once anti
Bryan climbed into the band wagon
while they were in Denver and thous-
ands more will do so before the cam.
paign is over. 1t is democratic year
and no one that we know of manifest a
disposition to stay out in the cold.

Judge Wade held up the banner of
Iowa eloquence with great credit at
Denver. He was sandwiched in be-
tween Grady of New York and Champ
Clark of Missouri and shone resplend-
ent in comparison. Fred Davis, the
most accurate and interesting cores
pendent of the bunch at Denver says:
"Grady's voice was weak and Clark
worked himself into frenzy of hoarse
eloquence and writhing gestures. The
theme of Judge Wade's happy little talk
was clean honesty in the administration
Of public affairs. He spoke just long
enough for the audience to wish for
more, and when he bowed himself back
upon the platform the great crowd
sighed regretfully and cheered for
fully two minutes"

Herald to come down here to Page coun-
ty and interview some of the so-called
republicans, who two years ago scratch
ed the.ticket as to governor and SEN
ator, and find out whether or not the
platform is broad enough to hold them
in line this year. We have lot of them
here that will probably need watching
when the voting times come, as they
have already demonstrated the fact that
they know how to scratch the ticket.

and one independents say that the
Denver platform is one that either Mr..
Bryan or President Roosevelt might run
on. Does this mean that Bry all is to be

sity, be obliged to support Taft as they
have nowhere else to go.
