ITS STEP-DADDY.

The question is up again as to
the fatherhood of rural free mail de-
livery, the claim now being made for
both Hon. Thomas E. Watson and
General Bingham of Pennsylvania.
That was settled long ago in favor
of the Georgian, and there are few
who will seriously dispute it. But
be that as it may, Jim Griggs is
its step-daddy.

as saying in a speech to a dele
cation of Atlanta travelling men
that called on him and presented
him with a gold-headed walking
cane last Saturday night that Muir
ply Gambler must be reelected to
the railroad commission, and ODE
Stevens defeated, because ODE is "a

KEEP THE DOOR OPEN.

The Columbus Ledger is in favor
of Japan being made to keep an
open door in Manchuria, even if I'm
Gle Sam has to shove the nose of a
thirteen-inch gun between the door
and the jam.
The MikadO's government is exer-
cising as free a hand in Manchuria
as was done in Korea, according to
reports from various sections. Fail
ing to get an indemnity from Russia
when peace was established Japan is
intending to recoup her broken for
tunes in the Chinese provinces from
which Russia withdrew at the con-
Clusion of peace negotiations.
Against the protests of China ia
pan is building a railroad from her
Korean possessions up to Mukden
where it will connect with the Rus
sian main line.
China's German trained armies
have not yet filled all the people with
the martial spirit, and Japan's ag-
erosion is not resented by a show
of force.
The Japanese desire to control
commerce in Manchuria-they want
to close the door which John Hay
demanded should forever be kept
open. The policy of the Russians
was to keep foreign commerce from
Manchuria, and now that Russia is
out Japan's efforts will be probably
more successful.
Manchuria takes great quantities
Of American cotton goods, and sc
does all of northern China. The anti.
American agitation in China two
years ago resulted in an enormous
curtailment of American cotton
goods. This was pleasing to Japan
That country is buying American
raw cotton in greater quantities, ano
is seeking a market for the manu-.
featured article in China, to the ex.
clusion of the product of the Ameri.

1t should be the business of the
American people to see to it that
Japan does not make of Manchuria
another Korea.

Quitman the other day, when five
hundred prosperous Brooks county
farmers rode in a parade on sleek
mules and horses and with a crib
full Of home-raised corn and a smoke
house full of home-raised meat
drawn by mules conspicuous in the
line of march. Brooks county is
noted for her prosperous and intelli-
gent farmers, and what they are do

farmers of other sections should
profit.

And Everybody Smiles.

From the Selma Gala Times.
Next month the darkies of Dixie
will don their osnaburg cotton sacks,
fill their tin buckets with peas, ba-
con and cornbread, line up and march
off to the cotton fields.
The south is always a pretty sight
to look at, but it is at the height of
its supreme beauty when the acres
of fleecy wads convert the big plan
tatiOn into a sea of white.
1t is the one grand celebration OF
Dixie-this cotton season. Every
body is smiling; the darkies are sing
ing, the merchant is laying in his
big stock and smiling at the pros
poets; teachers and preachers are
happy; editors, too.
Yes, sir, this life in Dixie during
contemplating time is something
great. The good part of it is. we
all know it and are going to stav
right here to enjoy it.

The sheriffs of the state have Pc
titioned the railroad commission to
modify the anti-pass order so that
they may ride free when carrying
prisoners or travelling on other Off
ctal business. AS the counties pay
the mileage and other expenses OF
sheriffs when they travel on official
business it is not clear why these off
GERS should be entitled to any special
privileges over the citizens who foot
these bills for them. An anti-pasa
rule must be for all alike, and the
commission will no doubt take that
view of it.

The Columbus Ledger thinks that
comparatively few people in Georgia
will be willing to pay 81 to preserve
a worthless dog. We agree with the
Americus Times-kecorder that the
Ledger is wrong. The average
citizen would rather surrender al
most anything he has than his dog,
and he will scurry around some way
and get the dollar-or hide out the
dog.

While speaking to a few Atlanta
drummers the other night ex-Gov-
ernor Smith told them that Railroad
Commissioner o. B. Stevens must not
be reelected, and that he (Smith)
would not vote for the man Governor
Brown appoints as the successor of
Mr.. McLendon. There are two
things that are pretty certain about
all of this. One is that the voters
Of Georgia are free men and seldom
take orders, and it will be found that
it is much easier to talk about de-
feating the old war-horse of Terrell
than it is to do it. The other
is that Governor Brown may be de-
pended on not to appoint to the rail-
road commission as Mr.. McLendon's
successor a man who does not know
how cotton is shipped-whether by
the bale or by the carload

the 1909 crop turns out in the great

Iowa like it bids fair to turn out in

The Georgia legislature would
have none of President Taft's tax
on incomes. Repeated efforts to get
it up in that body failed. One OBJ
lection to it was that it would make
more liars. But that is hardly true.

the state who pays taxes who is not
already a liar.

THE NEW SAHARA.

Features of the new prohibition
Alabama that will
attract most attention outside of the
state are these: Newspapers are
prohibited from advertising intoxl-
cants in the state; officers are en-
powered to make forced entry into
houses in which they suspect intoxi
cants are kept; every corporation ap-
plying for charter must make affi-
davit that it will not violate the pro-
hibition laws.
Commencing on this drastic law
the Savannah News says: Enforce
ment of the first of these provisions
would shut out of the state practi-
cally every newspaper not published
in Alabama. Enforcement of the
second, that of breaking down doors
of suspected places, residences and
others, would invite resistance and
bloodshed. One has only to recall
how that sort of thing worked in
South Carolina in the early days of
the state dispensary to see what
would likely happen in Alabama.
Under the third provision any cor
poration that wanted to sell stoves,
or guano, or plows, or shoes, or build
a railroad, or a bank, would have to
swear it wouldn't sell beer or whis-
key! Isn't that rather exacting?
But the Alabama legislature seems
to have set out to go to the limit"

SOLD WHEAT AND BARLEY
Bowers Brothers Sold Last of 1908
Crop This Week, Receiving
High Prices

What is believed to be the last of
the 1908 crop in the immediate
vicinity of Pullman, was sold this
week, when Bowers Brothers, whose
land lies south of Pullman, sold 300
sacks of barley and 300 sacks of
wheat to the Kerr-Gifford company,
of Pullman. The price paid for the
wheat, which was of the club variety,
was $1.05 per bushel. The barley
brought $1.50 per 100 pounds
While these prices seem high, they
are considerably less than could have
been obtained a short time ago. The
wheat would have brought $1.15 and
the barley $1.75 two or three weeks
ago. Dealers are predicting that
the market for new wheat in so days
will be S per bushel. One thing is
certain, the farmers feel confident
that they will get prices which will
leave big profits and they are happy
over the prospects.

PALOUSE 10; PULLMAN 8
Boosters Beaten by Ball Players
rom Palousc Last Sunday.
4 Great Game

Before the largest crowd of the
season the Pullman Boosters lost to
the Palouse team last Sunday, by a
score of 10 to 8. Palouse played
better ball than Pullman, and, aside
from the one inning, led Pullman in
the game from the start In the
fifth inning, Pullman braced up and
made some brilliant plays Gaddis
being the star of the game as he
knocked a home run in the fifth with
three men on the bases and no one
out. Six runs were secured for the
home team in the fifth.
But Palouse played better and
steadier ball and won the game. The
rooters went wild when Pullman
forged to the front in the fifth and
cheered the home team to the echo
There is no doubt as to the loyalty
of the Pullman fans, and their en-
thusiasm when the home team has a
chance to win is enough to put the
winning spirit into any bunch of
players. But the home team was
crippled Sunday "Prexy" Bryan
and Sanger were both out of the
game and that weakened it percepti-
bly,, yet Gaddis, one Of the substi-
tutes, kept the game from being a
badly one-sided affair.
Following is the lineup of the
teams: Pullman-M Miner, third;
Thorpe, left field Nilsson, right field;
Finley. first; Gaddis, center; Patton.
