SHOULD HAVE TRADED AT HOME

An Ida Grove, Iowa, press tele-
gram tells how a big group of farm
ers of that section (nearly a hun
bred, in fact) are in hot water for
buying a certain style of cream sepa-
rator from one of the mammoth mail
order houses. The first intimation
the Iowa farmers had of trouble was
a notice from the clerk of the United
States circuit court at Des Moines.
He notified them that the machine
they had bought was an Infringe
ment on a patent and all who had
bought and used it must cease such
use or be in contempt of court, pay
fines. etc. And the buyers of the
churns are worried.
1t is always safer for farmers, and
town people, too, to trade with home
houses rather than those far away
not to speak of the commendable
principle of standing by home indus
try and home enterprise. Then, If
any complication like the one above
described shall ensue the home deal
eg or merchant is at hand to pro-
tect the customer.

THE COMMITTEE MEETING.

Chairman Miller has called the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee to meet in Atlanta on next Fri
day. the oath inst. The announced
purpose of the call is to consider
trifing dispute from Gilmer county,
and to hear a protest from Colonel
Albert Cox of Atlanta against the
rule allowing the governor the right
to name delegates to the national
democratic convention.
There are! certain knowing Ones
however. who think that the real
object of the meeting is to resclnd
the committees action in ordering
general primary for the nomination
of a governor and state house OIL
GERS, substituting for that plan the
old rule allowing to each county its
former rights in the state conVen-
ton, while others profess to believe
that the primary which has been or
dered for June 4th will be postponed
until later day.
The News does not share in either
of these views, especially the latter
one. We are not convinced that
there is any desire to do these things
but even if there is we believe the
committee is too wise in politics TO
consider anything of the kind at TINS
stage of the campaign.
If a proposition of that sort comes
an we believe the governors friends
on the committee will promptly put
a uuietus on it.

REVISING OUR LIST.

The work of revising our subscrip-
ton list is a more tedious task than
we anticipated, and probably Will
not be completed in two or three
weeks yet.
1t has been necessary to drop d
good many names from the list, but
many other patrons, approaching the
paper, as well as the embarrassment
of our position under the ruling OF
the postoffice department, have made
prompt response to our appeals and
settled their dues in full. We are
grateful for these favors, and only
regret that we cannot indulge all de-
linquents on the list until such time
as may better suit their convenience
to pay, but we cannot.

THE FARMERS WOULD HAVE IT
TO PAY,
From the Macon Telegraph

From the Macon Telegraph
A correspondent writes to the Tel
egraph to know what was the PRO
posal made to the legislature to in
crease the tag tax on fertilizers.
The present tax is ten cents ton.
1t was, in order to raise reve-
nue., proposed to make it twenty-five
cents a ton. But the farmers kicked
because they said the increased tax
would come out of them, and the
legislature refused to pass the bill.
The fund raised by the fertilizer
tax goes to pay the expenses of fer
tilizer inspection, and the excess goes
into the school fund. The ten cents
tax raises sufficient an amount to pay
for the inspection, and a balance, as
it stands, goes to the school fund.
1t was urged, therefore, that the in
crease was not necessary, to protect
the farmers through inspection, and
the whole of the increase would go to
the school fund The farmers there
fore objected, as it would amount to
levying an additional tax on them
ON one c1ass-for the benefit OF all
vino patronize the public
schools.

THE SWORD AND THE WINE CUP.
a. 1Itre They Have Feasted Every Scene OF CARNAGE

David and Jonathan never joined III
more generous rivalry. Hand III
hand they come down the centuries
and upon every scene of carnage, like
vulture and shadow, they have met
and Toasted.
Yea; pair of giants, but the
greater is the wine cup. me SWORD
has a scabbard, and is sheathed; mas
a conscience, and becomes glutted
with havoc; has pity and gives quar-
ter to the vanquished. The wine cup
has no scabbard and no conscience;
it's appetite is a cancer which grows
as you feed it; to pity it is deaf; 10
suffering it is blind.
The sword is the lieutenant OF
death. but the wine cup is his captain
and if ever they come home to MIN
from the wars bringing their troph-
les, boasting of their achievements
I can imagine that death, their mas
ter. will meet them with garlands
and song, as the maidens OF Judea
met Saul and David. But as he num-
bers the victories of each his paean
will be ''The sword is my Saul, who
has slain his thousands; but the wine
cup is my David, who has SLAIN MS
tens of thousands"

Colquitt Swings Into Griggs Column
From the Moutrie Observer.

from Cu0 MOuitTl6 OUoSIF vel
A second speech by Judge Rod
denbery revived interest here in the
congressional campaign. 1t has been
hard to get a line on the congress
sional campaign in this county. At
the very beginning and Immediately
following the joint debate here six
months ago it looked very much like
Judge Roddenbery would swing the
county at will, but later there was a
pretty strong and active lineup for
Griggs, and his following were soon
boldly claiming the county. Some
have even offered to bet money that
Griggs would carry the county.
Judge Roddenbery has been speak
ing in the country districts lately,
and if the faces of the judge and his
friends have been correctly read in
the last few days they are very much
more hopeful again of controlling the
county.

The supreme objection to gamb-
ling in all forms, whether in sport
or in speculative business, is that
it works harm and loss TO society.
AS soon as any practice or conduct
is found to be socially hurtful it
thereby becomes wrong, whatever
men may have thought of it before.
Does not all morality rise to con-
seriousness through the fact of social
advantage or injury? Now the long
and costly experience of mankind
bears uniform testimony against
gambling, till at last the verdict of
civilization has become as nearly as
unanimous as human judgment can
