AS TO THE PURPOSES OF THE
CITY POLITICIANS.
CONCLUDED from Page y


out the Journal endorsed it as &C
curate, but Immediately after Mr.
Smith return to Atlanta, the Jour-
nal had to back-track, and Smith be-
gan to denounce the report. Mr..
Smith had declared publicly that on
January 1, 1910, the State would
have a surplus Of about 100000 in
the treasury The report of the ex-
pert accountant showed, however,
that on January 1, 1910, the def
cit would be upwards of 100000.
Therefore, the difference between
what Mr.. Smith had said and what
the expert accountant said amounts
to more than million dollars.
Now, why should any citizen be SO
hard to convince that the Journal is
capable Of telling a falsehood?
In another back-number issue of
the Atlanta Journal you will find that
they said, This election law provides
machinery by which the taxpayer is
automatically registered at the time
he pays his taxes" Again, it said, eff
the tax-collector does his duty, the
taxpayer, who by the full payment of
his taxes becomes regular voter"
etc. So you can see very clearly
that at first the man who wrote those
editorials did not know the provis-
ions Of the law which he was discus
sing.
A typographical error in my edi-
torial made me say ''the acts of
1902" Of course, I meant to say
the FACTS of 1908" Get them and
read them for yourself, page So, as
remember, and you will see that the
Journal was altogether wrong in say
ing that the law does anything au-
tomatically 1t is true that after the
Telegraph and The Jeffersonian ex-
posed the Atlanta Journal, it then
began to crawfish and to state the
real nature of the law Mr.. Smith
himself wrote to the Farmers Union
News and misrepresented the state of
the case. He declared that the OBJ
ject of closing the books so early was
to give the registrars plenty of time
to purge the lists. The acts them
selves show that the registrars
must not be later than June 1st in
completing and purging the lists,
and that not later than June 5th
they must give to the Clerk a com
plete and purged list, alphabetically
arranged by country districts and
city wards After June 5th it would
be unlawful for anybody to put a
name on those lists or to take one
off.
Now, under another law of 1908
the primary can't be held earlier
than the first week in August-it
may be held later than that; it can
not be held earlier. Therefore tha
voter loses two full months of on
portunity for registering. WIN

PRETENDER
SUCCUMBS
DON CARLOS DIES IN .LoMBARDY
AFTER LONG ILLNESS
HIS PEDIGREE.

Rome, July 1S-Don Carlos of Bour-
bon, pretender to the Spanish throne,
died today at Varez in Lombardy. He
had been i'll for a long time and the
latest reports indicated that he was
suffering from apoplexy.
Don Carlos, Duke of Madrid, WHO
claimed under the special law of sue
cession established by Philip V, to be
the legitimate king of Spain, by the
title of Charles VII, was born at
Laybach, Austria March 80, 1S4S His
father, Don Juan, was the brother of
Don Carlos Charles VII. known as the
Count de Montemoin, in support of
whose claims the Carlist risings of 1S4S.
1856, and 1860 We're organized.
AS Charles VII died in 1861 without
children, his rights devolved upon his
brother, Don Juan, who had married
the Archduchess Maria Teresa of Aus
tria. Their son. Don Carlos married
Margaret de Bourbon.
Tn October 1868, Don Juan abdicated
in favor of his son, whose standard
was raised in the north of Spain in
1872 by some of his partisians. Don
Carlos himself. after addressing proc
lamation to the inhabitants of Cat
alonia, Aragon and Calentia calling
upon them to take up arms in his
cause, entered Spain July Is, 1873, an
that he came to save the
country. Then followed the -four
years war; which ended in January
1876, when Tolosa the last stronghold
of the Carists fell and its defenders
sought refuge on French territory
Meanwhile the republic ended and the
last son of former Queen Isabella took
the Spanish throne, as Alfonso XII
died in 1885 and the fight for success
sion ragged between Don Carlos and
Maria Christiana of Austria, widow of
the late king. The posthumous birth
of the present king in 1886, however.
kindled a feeling of loyalty which has
existed up to the present.
