WEAKNESS OF CONVICT LAW

From the MeriWether Vindicator.
The new convict law is bound to
become an unpopular measure. Its
weaknesses are becoming more ap-
parent every day.
1t is the most imperfect, incom-
pIete, chaotic measure passed by the
general assembly in a score of years.
The small counties will be the
principal sufferers from it's provis-
ions, and the rich city counties be
benefited by it's passage.
Taxes are bound to soar skyward
until the constitutional prohibition
will have TO be repealed so that q
greater tax rate can be levied to
meet the current expenses.
1t was necessary to license the sale
OF the sO-called near beer to main
tain the new system, and the money
raised by this iniquitous sanction bv
law OF hundreds of blind tigers will
not provide sufficient revenue to
maintain the convicts.
1t has practically been decided that
the white cOnViCts are not to be Dut
on the roads, which will necessitate
an additional appropriation to pro-
vide for this aggregation of felons.
The representative of the state
were hectored by a certain Atlanta
newspaper and driven into the pas
sage of the present law which the
whole state will ultimately condemn.
1t is hoped the next legislature will
not listen to the vaporings of yellow
journals.
We were not in favor of continu-
ing for an indefinite period the lease
system, but we believed that the
state should lease them until 1911,
and make preparations within that
time for the final adjustment of the
lease system.
AS it is, we have got the cart be-
fore the horse. The old system was
abolished before preparations were
made for the change.

MAKING A REVELATION.

From the Perry Home Journal.
In making a tour of Georgia Gov
ernor-elect Joseph M. Brown is MAX
ing a political revelation to the peo-
pie, and thereby creating the belief
that there is in store a revolution
OF state administrative affairs.
During the campaign last Spring
his opponents complained that they
couldn't see Little joe" and de-
clared that he was too insignificant
in figure and intellect to be seriously
considered.
Many have seen him, and naught
but praise has been heard.
In physical stature and in intellect
he is the same man, but the view
point has been changed. Beyond
doubt he now looms large in the
prospective government and devel-
opment of Georgia.
Joe Brown is no more worthy than
he was ten months ago, but he
knows more about the condition of
the people than he did then, and the
people have learned that his physi-
ognomy is not his most attractive
feature. The people have learned
that the bashful swain spoke truth
when he said to his sweetheart:
THE more l knows you the better
gets acquainted with you"
Verify, Little Joe" is already
making good While not an orator,
and never will be, what he says
causes conviction. Knowing the
right he tells it in plain, truthful,
convincing words.
With a purpose to serve the inter
ests of the state government and the
people with honest faithfulness, with
out fear or favor, without desire or
purpose to reward friends or pun
ish opponents, he has gone among
the people to know them and their
needs. That he is acquiring this
knowledge intelligently his talks to
the people give sufficient and con-
vincing testimony.
Wherever he has visited distrust
and doubt have given place to con-
fident belief that he is able and de-
termined to make one of the very
best governors that ever served Geor-
gia.

The Everlasting Politicians.

From the Perry Home Journal.
The politicians are not in their
element unless they are agitating
1t is not at all in accord with their
purpose to permit affairs to develop
IN order, but the development must
be under their direction. The agita-
ton concerning the governorship be-
fore the gOvernOr-elect becomes gov
ernor in fact may be a part of the
original political enmity to him, or
it may be merely an effort to work
up a demand" for a Statesman"
yet untried. Be that as it may. Lit
tie joe is making good now, finding
out things a governor ought tn
know, and the people are finding ont
that he is worth knowing. We dare
say Governor Brown will be such a
good, all round executive of the
state that there need not now be
any speculation concerning his snc-
CeSsOr.

men and their allies are allowed TO
violate the laws and are granted
special privileges, and the result is
that the people are given a saloon
government.
Who are the saloon keepers? No
man Of fine feelings would be one
as the more profits the seller Of
liquors obtains the more he degrades

breaks the laws.
Because of the control of govern
ment by saloons and the LIQUOR bns-

they are in Europe.

AGAIN THE MONUMENT.

A location for the Wirz monument,
like an historic ghost, won't down.
Everybody thought that when Rich
mond was selected as the place no
more would be heard of it, but now
the whole question is to be opened
again in an effort to have the monu-
ment placed in Georgia. When the
Daughters of the Confederacy meet
in convention next month they will
take it under consideration. The
News has contended all along that
Andersonville is the place for the
memorial to Major Wirz. Let it be
erected there, and then, as a con-
temporary says, if the northern agi-
tators do not like it let them stay
at home, where they properly belong
We hope the Daughters will reach
an amicable agreement in the mat
ter.

Says Saloon Keepers Haze Degraded AmerIc0

Saloon keepers have degraded

S, S. Mcclure, head of the Mcclure
Publishing Company, of New York,
thus arraigns the sellers of liquor.
There are several phases to the
liquor question" continued Mr. Nc
.Clure. Among them are detriments
to mems physiques, deterioration of
their earning capacity and the loss to
moral character. 1t is for all these
that the temperance people are max

FOR WOULD-BE HUSBANDS.

Now comes forward a woman, who
does not have to say she is or has
been married, with the suggestion
that every man who aspires to be-
come a benedict shall be required
to answer a series of questions to
show his mental and moral fitness
Her suggestion is made in all seri-
BUSINESS, and it may be marriage
would be happier if it could be
adopted. Naturally, she makes al
lowance for the fact that certain
men might not give truthful replies,
but for such unworthies she suggests
a course of cross-examination calcu-
lated to drag the truth from them.
She pins faith, however, to the be-
lief that the average man would
make accurate answers.
The nature of the examination
may be cleaned from the first six
of the proposed queries, and the fact
that she is a wife a widow or a di-
vorcee is proved by the questions
themselves, which are: /. Do you
throw matches, cigar ends and ashes
about on the chairs and floor or
wherever you sit? .. When you
come in at all hours of the night
do you stamp about and bang doors,
waking the whole household? 8 Do
you ever consider any ones comfort
except your own? 4. Do YOU ever
pass anything to any one at meals?
If asked to cut a piece of bread do
you throw it? 3. Do you leave the
doors of rooms open behind you
wherever you go? g. Do you battle
and shave in the middle of the day?
The lady is wasting her time.
There never has been anything yet
that could regulate Cupid, and no
statute providing a string of ques-
tons can do it. All kinds and all
sorts of people will go on marrying
regardless.

MORE GEORGIA CORN.

! The News has of late printed some
/ interesting matter about corn cul-
/ ture. 1t is gratifying to note that
Southwest Georgia farmers are show
ing more and more interest in the
development of corn growing. There
is no doubt but that the farmers
have been led to more thorough APP
probation of the corn crop.
Georgia will never rank with Illi-
nois and other western states as a
corn producing section, or grow corn
as a money crop, but will find it
profitable to grow corn to supply it's
own needs and move it's cribs from
the west
Georgia farmers are seeking the
best varieties Of corn to cultivate;
the cultural methods show steady i'm
provement, and it is safe to assume
that in the near future Georgia will
be far more important as a corn
growing state than now. The move
ment should be encouraged, and it
will be. In this connection The News
is glad to bear witness to the helpful
interest progressive citizen of our
own county, Hon. J. r. Mercer, and
an esteemed contemporary of
town, the Albany Her.

Dawson's big and sympathetic
heart was never more forcibly and
touchingly illustrated than in the
many thoughtful deeds and tender
words following the tragic event of
the past week, in which a stranger
within our midst lost his life and
was laid away in our cemetery far
from his northern home and loved
ones. The News has always said
that the Dawson people are the best
people on earth.

The Worlds Way.
I'M the Detroit News.

From the Detroit News.
This was overheard in the lobby
of a big hotel in Detroit when a
busload of travelling statesmen came
from the station. Every man of
them, as he signed the register,
paused to shake hands with the ho-
tel clerk-a fatherly old fellow who
had been there many years. "Ah, "
said one of them to the clerk, cts a
good thing you're still on deck, I'm
Gle Dave. I don't think the house
could run without you"
Couldn't it, thought said Uncle
Dave. you fellows would come in
here, and if there was a strange
clerk you'd say: Where's Uncle
Dave?' And the clerk would say:
Why, didn't you hear? He died a
month ago. And then you'd say:
,WeH' III be darned! That's too
bad. Say, whenll dinner be
ready?'"

THE GAME LAWS.

The News prints a communication
this week from a prominent Geor-
gian who urges better laws for the
protection of game. The game law
in Georgia is not much more than
a farce, as even that class of people
(the professional sportsmen) for
whose benefit all legislation of this
character the past few years has
been enacted pay but little attention
to 1t. About the best thing The News
knows that could be done would
be to shorten the open season, and
also fix it so that people who do
not shoot guns, or care to hunt,
could get a mess of birds or other
game occasionally. God Almighty
did not create birds for the especial
benefit of the men who slaughter
them for fun, and we do not know
why the legislature should give them
a monopoly of this kind.

Chester's series of sermons on the
three ''sin streams" in Dawson. Re
ports of these sermons were obtained
by us because of both their news

perusal of them would be helpful to

with vigor and ability, and we know
that what he has said has been
scanned with interest by the readers
OF The News and we trust with

MORE TROUBLE AHEAD.
1 the Augusta Chronicle.

/ From the Augusta Chronicle.
| Two new enemies are upon us, one
the bo-ophulus annulata, the other
the euproctic chrysorrha. They are
both of the bug family, one a tick
and the other a moth.
The bo-Ophulus, etc., etc, ETC., is
COW tick, but so unpleasant a Gus
toner that science has ransacked
two languages for learned phrases to
name him, the first part of his cog
nomen coming from the Greek and
signifying a vermin infesting the
eyes of cattle; and the latter from
the Latin, denoting him a ring-tailed
rOarer.
The euproctic, ect., etc., ETC., gets
its name wholly from the Greek, but
is none the better for that, being.
in plain English, a moth with a
brown pOmpOn on his neither ex-
tremities which has a tendency to
shake itself loose and leave its fuZz
on people. When so left the fuzz
irritates the cuticle and make you
wish you knew five hundred lam
guages so as to curse him in each.
The first of these creatures con-
fines his ravages mostly to the cattle
ranges of northwest Georgia, but the
latter is to be apprehended wherever
fruit trees abound, and is conse-
quently far the more noxious
With him in the field it is not so
much question of late frost killing
the blooms as it is whether you get
any of that pompon on you.
What with all these entomologists
and pomologists and biologists we
have in fray it does seem as if man
and poor old Muley, the COW, ought
to be able to get along in peace with
out scratching the hide off; but then
scientific development is a great
thing even if it does give you an
itchy feeling merely to think of it.

Charles w. Fairbanks of Indiana

president with a blare of trumpets

OF his high and important office with
dignity, with justice and with patri-

When you close your store in the

which your trade is drawn. And
there is your ad doing it's work 81
lently, but surely, and if you have
taken the pains to make it attract

Might as Wei Lay Down Their Hank

From the Macon Evening News.
The News would advise the liquor
men to surrender, give up their arms
and come into the reservation. There
is nothing doing from their stand
point now, and there is going to
be nothing stirring in the future.
Legal liquor traffic is a thing of the
past in Georgia, and the former
liquor dealers should devote their
capital and energies to other lines.
They are dreaming dreams in which
there are no dividends when they
have visions of whiskey back on
legal sale in Georgia.
