BROTHER BRAND AGAIN.
Concluded from Page SD

at from 81 to $12 per acre; and in
many cases farm values are the same
that they were twenty and thirty
years ago. If Mr.. Brand is willing
to buy on ten-year plan, and is
willing to offer Sc or So per acre,
he can get improved land in nearly
every part of the old States. The
farm often sells for much less than
the Improvements are worth. Surely
that is getting the land for nothing,
and you couldn't ask for cheaper
property
Where many men compete for the
same land-as in thickly settled, rich
and communities, it is, of course,
different. But anybody who is not so
particular as to location, can pick
land throughout the country on al
most his own terms. If tenants in
Texas are paying thirty per cent
rent, it must be those who believe
that, even on those terms, their farms
are more profitable than would be a
self-owned hillside or sandbed here
in old Georgia or in South Caro-
lima.
Tenants, with us, do not pay any
thirty per cent. They have the op-
ton of working for wages, or of
cropping-on-halves with the landlord
and the tenant prefers to pay
standing rent
1t he pays part Of the crop as rent,
the landlord gets one-fourth. Out
of this he must pay the taxes, the
repairs and the expenses of manage
ment. BY the time this is done the
landlord is in luck when he clears
from eight per cent. to fifteen per cent.
And if he isn't extremely careful his
land will run down, and wash away
so badly, under tenant management,
he will, in few years, have on his
hands much land that no one will
tend. Then he has to come down on
the rent of the whole place; and
myself know of places that have been
SO reduced in this way, that the rent
does not net five per cent. interest on
the cost of the farm
How can city Socialist under
stand the farming question or the
land question? They don't Yet our
landless country-people swallow all
the nonsense these city ranters in
dulge in.
Brother Brand argues that a life
tenant who would not make valua-
BILE, permanent and beautiful i'm
prOvements would not make them
were he the owner in fee simple That
reveals the very general misconcep-
ton Of human nature which so many
Socialists exhibit
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-10-28

Brother Brand must be bachelor.
In every normal man is the desire
for mate; in every normal couple
is the desire for children; in all nor
NAL parents is the pure, ardent de-
votion to their offspring. And this
affection embraces the grandchildren
with even greater tenderness. Now,
when man makes a home, he is not
only seeking haven that shall be
exclusively his, but he is thinking
about his children, his posterity.
When one constructs handsome
dwelling, lays out grounds, and i'm
proves his fields, he does so with the
idea that they are his; and that the
moment he dies, whether next year
or forty years thereafter, those i'm
proVements go to his descendants.
Without that motive, he would do
nothing more for the farm than is
necessary to his present enjoyment.
Life is so uncertain and human self
ishness SO great, that nobody would
go to the trouble to erect superior
dwellings, and make extensive and
permanently valuable improvements
on lands which, at his death, next
month might go to strangers.
AS to all men being created
equal Jefferson did not mean it as
Brother Brand contends. Such men
as General Washington and George
Mason knew that they were superior
men; SO did Jefferson. What was
meant was that all men were entitled
to freedom, self-government, to
equality Of opportunity and equal
treatment by governing powers. Such
a patrician as Jefferson never meant
to say that Digger Indian, a Guinea
Negro, a Malay or a Hottentot was
his equal.
There is no such thing as racial
equality Each race of the five diff
fers from all the others, and the
Caucasian is the highest of all. The
other four races are not our equal.
and we should not mix our blood
with theirs.
Brother Brand says that he has
only recently become Socialist.
Sorry he did not wait a little bit
longer before miring in the nasty,
European mess which the foreigners
have imported into this country.
AS will be shown in the Jefferson
ian Magazine, Socialism is a system
of philosophy which is at once a new
religion and a new social organiza-
ton. It's aim is to establish COM
munism, as to property, and free
love, as to sexual relations; it means
to do away with churches, courts,
laws and Institutions

should the voter lose these two
months? Who is benefited by it?
You might ask whom does it hurt?
The answer is, it hurts the young
man who has recently come of age,
1T hurts the voter who has been neg
lectful and has omitted to register six
months before the election; it may
1njure many poor man who could
not scare up the money to pay his
taxes earlier than that The tax-col-
lector is compelled to close his books
by the first of April; the registrars
are compelled to close theirs by the
first of June, consequently the OPP
portunity of the voter is narrowed
down to a smaller space than ever
before in the history of this State.
Now, when see that this has been
done by such men as Mr.. Boykin
Wright, who by stuffing the ballot
box at the courthouse precinct in
the City Of Augusta, DISTINGUISHED
the nine country counties which
wanted to send me to Congress, can
not believe that the motive is friend
ly to the country voter. In the same
connection I am compelled to re-
member that in the Macon platform,
Mr.. Smith and his friends demanded
that each city should have a State
Senator. Such an innovation would,
of course, lessen the power of the
country counties and augment that
of the cities. What have the country
counties done that they should be the
victims of discrimination? Is the
country vote more corrupt than that
of the cities? Is corporation in
fuence stronger in the rural COM
munities than it is in the crowded
cities where their employees are so
numerous and where their patron
age of the daily papers is SO necessa-
sary to the success of journalism?
Has the whiskey ring demonstrated
that it has greater power to con-
troll legislation in the country coun-
ties than in the big cities? Have not
recent occurrences shown that it re-
quired the vote of the country repre-
sentatives to close the barrooms in
Georgia-including the barroom out
Of which Mr. Hoke Smith accumu-
lated such considerable portion of
his great fortune?
We must remember in this con-
nection, that blessed political power
is now enjoyed by the smaller coun-
try counties. Under our Constitution
it was never meant that the
largest city should have more than
three times the power of the smallest
country county. Who authorized
those politicians to make such rad
ical change in our system, which
has been in peaceful operation ever
since the new Constitution of 1877?

How dared they propose this reso-
luton at a secret meeting Of
the executive committee and adopt
it on the vote of a handful of
city politicians like Boykin Wright,
of Augusta A. L. Miller, of Macon,
and Hoke Smith Of Atlanta? Was it
not most arrogant thing for the
politicians to adopt this change in
star-chamber meeting without hav-
ing said one word to the people
about it?
That was the main reason of my
change of attitude towards Governor
Smith. l had already criticised him
severely for paying his political debts
at the expense of the taxpayers of
this State by adding two members to
the Railroad Commission, and by
making such changes as increased
the yearly cost Of that tribunal SILL
900, without increasing it's useful
ness in the least
[ am a country county man; my
residence is in one Of the smaller
counties; my political following is
composed chiefly of country people
consequently, I could not endure it
tamely and silently when such un-
scrupulous tricksters as Boykin
Wright began to tamper with our
election laws with view to making
the influence of the big cities pre-
dominate over the rural population.
I don't think it is to the interest of
the commonwealth that city influence
should be supreme. Owing to various
circumstances, the cities are more
corrupt than the country counties.

cities as Atlanta Augusta, Savannah

of money, of the job-lash and of the
trade-boycott is infinitely greater in
the crowded centers of population

cultural districts.

cept to serve my country. No Office

and literary fields.

Lower Wheat Expected

BY the crop report of the Govern
ment which is said to be very reliable
the wheat crop in THIS country this sea-
son will exceed last year,
The Chamber of Commerce, of Ralti-
more, agree that if there is no shortage
the present high price Of wheat cannot
be maintained and the price must GO
lower. The export of wheat from Bal
timore. the most active port in this part
of the country has been comparatively
small. The market for new Southern
wheat conditions weak and the price is
declining daily. The prevailing price
for Western and Southern are from
S1.03 to 81 o., as against 81 90 month
ago.
The increase in the quantity has caus-
ed much surprise as the impression pre-
walled that the crop was short. Gener-
ally the quality is good except in this
section where the grain failed to proper,
ly mature. Just as it was in bloom the
heavy rains came on which caused the
straw to break and the grain TO shrivel.
The decline will effect only a few of
the farmers in the county as they sold
their crops from the thresher at $1O7 to
41.10.

The Sheep and the Dog.

The board of agriculture of Massa-
ehusetts, in Its affectionate care for
sheep, has proclaimed itself the enemy
of the dog says the Washington Herald
The sheep may roam, but the dog may
uot. These official farmers even 60 Sc
far as to bring the children into their
propaganda, declaring: mot even
our children are allowed as much Iiber-
ty as the worthless ours that max.
sheep farming in Massachusetts i'm
possible" The sheep is admittedly 4
friend of maa. He is an amiabl utili-
tartan. His shorn coat is woven int
clothing, his flesh becomes food. But
his usefulness is wholly involuntary
He must roam to eat, for where ht
feeds he leaves path of close cropped
verdure.
But the dog also is additionally the
friend of mau He is faithful in good
times and liz bad. He producers moth
ling but affection, and he is cherished
because of his fidelity, regardless OF
interior motives. The sheep does MOI
know enough to be selfish. The dog
dog does, but the dog remains, never
theless, altruistic. This is not to deny
that there are bad dogs He is socialis-
tic in his views of real estate for his
personal enjoyment, even though h.,
may guard against intrusion of his
masters premises. the ,rmal dog is
entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. His entire race is not to
be tied to kennel because it includes
some wastrels. Moreover, dees not the
shepherd dog atone for some of the sins
of his kindred ?

Smoke a pipe of clay;
Thinking of troubles, mostly small,
That had bothered him that day.
Unpaid bills, subcrlber's kick,
A balky press and broken stick,
Lay heavy on his soul.
A city daily's page outspread,
Captured his careless eye.
Its startling headlines seemed to
breathe
The city daily cry;
Murder and suicide, death and divorce
Failure, dishonor. right conquered
by force,
These were the stories told.
And the editor filled up his pipe again,
While his thoughts breathed deep
