Small Politics That Won't Work.

From the Albany Herald.
1t is easy to see that an effort is
being made in some quarters to make
state politics out of the split in the
Georgia delegation in congress caused
by the refusal or failure of Congress-
men Livingston, Griggs, Howard,
Brantley, Lee and Edwards to follow
the lead of the democratic caucus on
the rules question in the house of
representatives. This is small poll
tics, however, and will not work in
Georgia now. The aspiring politician
who hopes to make a ten-strike with
campaign thunder drawn from this
congressional affair will be disap-
pointed.

Swanson for President.

One of Mr.. Bryan's most zeal
Gus supporters in the last cam
paign was the New York Realty
journal. In the last issue of that
publication we find quoted with
approval an article from the New
York World, of April %. express
ing the hope that Mr. Bryan will
continue TO work for Democratic
principles but that he will not I'M
dertake again to be the candidate
of the Democratic party for presi-
dent. The Realty journal adds
that 1t does not believe that Mr..
Bryan will be the party's nominee
In 1912 but that the nominee will
be selected from a list of fifteen
favorite sons. The leading candi-
dates, according to the Journal. at
present are George b. Mcclellan.
Thomas K. Marshall, Judson Har-
mon. John A. johnson, David X.
Francis, {. A. Culberson and
Claude a. Swanson.
This is the first definite sugges
ton we have seen of Governor
Swanson a , possible nominee for
president Certainly the idea will
be received very warmly in Vir-
ginia. With any of our leading
men IN Tic field We would forget
all our local and internal factional
differences and line up behind him

cordial support. We are in humor
here now to forget everything in

Letter to Vim. Jackson
Berryville, Va.


Dear Sir: Clear pine and pine full of
knots are two different things; they are
both called pine.
Clear paint and paint adulieraied with
whiting, chineclay, ground stone, barry
Jes, benzine and water, are different
things; they are both called paint
1t takes less labor to work clear pine
than pine knots, and costs less money.
1t takes less labor to paint clear paint
than half-whiting or half china-clay or
half ground stone or half baryies These
mixtures make more gallons, not more
paint. There's no more milk in two
quarts OF milk and-water than in one
quart of milk. II you paint two gallons
for one you pay double for labor; and
labor costs more then paint.
You know how it is with clear lum
Der and knots. It's the same with all
paint and half paint
Apply it 10 business Suppose YOU
have two houses, same size; paint one
Devoe, the other the other prominent
paint in your town.
1t takes 10 gallons Devoe, $1.75 a gal
lon, $l7 80 for paint; $S gallon for
labor, $50 for labor; whole job. $3.50
Ii takes 10 gallons Of that other paint,
same price, $2G.25 for paint; So gallon
for labor, $45 for labor; whole job $7l25,
And which wears best, clear pine OF
pine knotss Devoe wears better than
that weak-paint.
What warrant is there for saying that
paint is weak, 1t takes more gallons
Yours truly

NEW GUINEA COURTSHlP.
All the Proposals of Marriage Are
Made by Women.

All the Proposals of Marriage Are
Made by Women.
Away off In the strange island of
New Guinea 1t is leap year all the
time in one important sense, for out
there all the proposals of marriage
are made by the women. 1t is consid-
cred beneath the dignity of the male
inhabitants Of New Guinea TO even
notice n woman, and consequently the
women perforce must notice the men
and must start any idea OF weddings,
etc.
SO when the island belle OF New
Guinea becomes in love she promptly
sends a piece of string 10 the sister
OF the lucky man. If he has no sister
she sends it to his mother or to some
female relative-this because the man
and his male relatives are assumed
to be above taking any steps toward
acquiring wife
Then the sister says TO the man in
volved: Brother, ] have news. So
and-so is in love with you" II in
clined TO matrimony the man makes
an engagement to meet the enamored
lady. When they meet 1t is alone, and
they either decide TO wed or drop the
entire proposition Mt once. There Is
no cour;inc, for the man is not al
lowed, Theoretically at least, to waste
any time on woman-not even
enough time to make love to the lady
or 10 allow Gcr to make love to him
he bcsr2 hai is announced, and the
engaged man In New Guinea is brand
ed Oh the back with charcoal, but the
woman's mark OF engagement to wed
Is actrcily cut into her skin and is
never allowed TO completely vanish.
If either one decides to break the en-
gagc@c.t nothing can be done by the
offended party.
II the girl decides that, after all. she
sent the little piece OF string by mis-
take the man is apt, however, to catch
her some time alone and beat her. II
the man jilts the woman her relatives
often hunt him up and administer a
sound drubbing Blood, however, is
seldom shed. as the breaking of these
women made engagements IS not deem
ed a very serious matter.
Though tie women propose the wed
dings in New Guinea, the condition OF
the wife is miserable and unjust In
the extreme. The girl is merely the
property and slave OF the husband. He
can beat her unrebuked and even kill
her with Impunity If she incurs his
eanisy. Atlanta Constitution.

SOUTHERkER FOR PRESIDENT.

We publish on this page an art
icle in which Hon. Claude A.
Swanson is named as a possible
Presidential candidate in 1912.
While we do not care To name
any man at this time, we will
reiterste our oft-stated belief that
the South owes it to itself to insist
upon the nomination in 1912 of a
Southern man for President.
Not because, forsooth, he is n
Southern man, but because we
have several men who are of the
right size and caliber, and because
the South casts practically all of
the Democratic electoral votes.
No one, other than fool or a
fanatic, will say that the South
should not he recognized, because
Of the Cecession.
And we believe that Southern
candidate will do more To weld the
warning factions of democracy in
The North and West, and in the
South and East, than any man who
could be named north of the Mason
and Dixon line.
The South cast the votes which
elected Mr.. Cleveland, and vet we
have not seen Southern man on
the ticket TO this date.
Mr.. Cleveland would have lived
and died an obscure lawyer in
Buffalo had the Southern electoral
votes been given to some other
man.
\ Southern man to head the
ticket, with Western man (pre-
ferably johnson, of Minnesota as
hiS running mate. and who will
dare 10 say that we cannot win,
whether ve have the support of
New York or not.
ln fact, their room is preferable
To their company.
The Republicans have before
them three years of the most
strenuous "hoeing,' and it begins
to look at this early date. as though
the house was divided against itself.
Pledged to help the common peo-
pie by just tariff revision which
will reduce the living expenses.
instead of increasing, them, we see
the tariff being revised upward by
It's friends and beneticiaries.
The time is ripe FOR Democratic
gathering Of the clans, a COMPARE
son OF notes. spirit OF friendlineSs,
and desire to select the best man
In all the South whom we can send
forth under an unsullied banner, to
lead the hosts To victory.
With such a man, there will be
no retreat.
The fight will be carried up to
the breaStworkS of Republican
policies and through the wall into
the captured and submissive city.
Let us think about these things,
and make our plans for 1912.
There has been too much of delay
and representation.
