And the white illiterate white voter?
He has doubled the South's burden-or
rather by the disfranchisement of the
negro, the illiterate white will have
been made a double burden in his ignor-
ance and lack of ambition; for the
method has not only kept the white man
at standstill. but he can no longer
count against black vote.
1T is because this situation is being
realized that the disfranchisement act
may be termed the best and the worst
thing for the South-for Georgia, as an
instance.
1T means that we must soon begin
to look to the Republican party-or the
party in power as opposed to Democracy
to help solve our troubles when the
negro vote arrives. And that is where
it is good.
1T is in the present Gripping of the
negro vote in Georgia land we use
Georgia as representing the South
that the opportunity lies. The North
understands-ex except in few radical
spots-that the negro can never step
over a certain line in the South. But
the North does not understand fully
the essence of this feeling, this deter
mination concerning the negro, which
inheres not in prejudice, but in fact.
President Roosevelt has begun to
understand the situation in the South.
He has opened the way for Repubi
can President to be put in close touch
with Southerners and with their ideas
and ideals.
"President-elect Taft has a wide
and wonderful opportunity. The way
in which he handles doubly delicate
situation will have vital bearing on
the making of history in the next ten
or fifteen years.

Clark. The foundation stone was laid
by Governor Eden on March %, 1772.
and the building was completed the
next year. In order to accommodate
the Offices of the Government, several
unsightly additions were made from
time to time. The Legislature in 1902,
by bill brought in by Senator Spencer
G. Jones, decided to tear away these
additions and replace them by one
which would be sufficient for the needs
of the Legislature. This was preferred
to putting up new building and leav-
ing the old one unoccupied, as it was
feared it might go to pieces. This was
a fortunate decision, because in tearing
away the old annexes the walls of the
original building were found so insecure
that unless they had been strengthened
the whole edifce would have toppled
over.
If this historic building were in New
England, it would be used to attract
visitors for commercial as we'll as his
toric purposes. Would it not be well
for Maryland people to learn a lesson?

wanted to know IL the papers had con-

The woman found consolation in Carr
and she told all. Her revelations con-

Of testimony ever secured in the Grim

by telling that Carr freely admitted to
her directly after he felt confident he

UNUSUAL CELEBRATION.
Live Oak Baptist Church Gives
Home Coming to Present
and Past Members.

The Live Oak Babtist church, Ut
Utica, held one of the most interest
ing home-comings ever given in Da-
viess county on Saturday. Rev. &C.
Carroll, of Owensboro, delivered the
two addresses of the occasion.
The Homecoming idea was conceiv-
ed by Rev. Shultz. the present pastor.
The resident members OF the church
and all the old members were invited
to be present and most OF them were
there. After a song service at the
morning exercises, DIR. Shultz read a
history OF the church from its foun-
dation in 1854. OF the original foun-
ders only three are living and one of
these, Mr.. May, was present. The
membership has grown from II to
365 and more than 600 people have
professed religion or been baptized
into the church.
Rev. Carroll divided his address in
to four sections with texts relating
to the Cave of Mactelah, the Well at
Bethlehem. the Prodigal Son and the
words of the Savior, I'm my Fathers
house are many mansions" The well
of Mactelah was compared to the
cemetery. Those who had wandered
away and then returned to the house
of God, were compared to the Prodi-
gal Son,and the words of the Savior,
we're interpreted as promising a home
in Heaven. In the afternoon Rev. Car
roll preached on the church cove
nant.
