PINKSTON CLOSES BOOKS.

Work ON Digest.

Tax Receiver Pinkston closed his
Office in the court house Saturday
night, and is now at his home IN
Parrot compiling the figures and
preparing the three tax digests that
are required of him by law. One of
these will go to the office of the
controller-general in Atlanta, anoth-
err to the board of commissioners of
Terrell county, and the third will be
for the use of the tax collector next
fall
Notwithstanding the panic of the
past year or two and the fact that
some of the incorporated firms of the
city have reduced their capital and
surplus, Mr. Pinkston expects the
total tax values of the county to
foot up about what they did a year
ago, when they were $3,752,304,

HARTMAN A PORTENT.

Mir. Harriman's ventures iII the stock market with the $131,OOO, ,O0O which he raised a year and a half ago through the use of the credit of the Union Pacific not only demorauzed the stock market, but 1t extended his sway both as a railway proprietor and a politician. He has his creatures, not many in congress, but in the legisla- lures of the many states through which his lines run. He Is even re- ported to have owned governors. Ger tainly B. B. Odell, Jr, was very friendly toward him. If any one wants an example of state political machines manipulated in the interests of a rail- way one has only to go to California, where Harriman's Southern Pacific stretches its tentacles from the Oregon line to Mexico. There one will quick ly discover that the objection to liar riman Is not merely that he is un- scrupulous. It Is bad enough to have legislators and city officials, as well as newspapers, devoted to the interests of man whose methods are some times those of a buccaneer. But were MT. Hartman the archangel Gabriel; were he the most benevolent despot alive; were the Southern Pacific sim ply a huge engine run for the sole purpose of benefiting the inhabitants of California, those unhappy people would still groan under the yoke and cry out in wrath for deliverance. The American people will not view with equanimity the standardization of such vast power in one person. They say. and say rightly. that 1t weakens, and occasionally even destroys, representa- tive government. It Is not the voters; it is huge corporations that more than once have declared what the laws shall be and who shall execute them.-New York Evenng Post.

ters union owing to the determination
OF the building contractor to construct
the building on the open shop basis. 1t
was brought out in the discussion that
followed that if this was allowed to
continue it would mean that the town
would be filled up with unfair workmen
from the outside who in the majority of
cases would be men without families
who would contribute nothing to the
building up of the town but would take
the work away from our own people
who build their homes here, pay the
city's taxes, educate their children, and
make it possible for the city to be live
and progressive. 1t seemed inconceiv-
able to those present who listened to
this discussion to believe that the bust
nessmen of the city if they properly un-
derstood what this means to the bust
ness and industrial life of the city would
ALLOW this state of affairs to continue.
Ii was finally decided by the Coun-
cil to appoint a committee of five to
act in conjunction with a like commit

to arrange for a public mass meeting in
the near future to discuss this aues-
ton.

from which he never in later life de-
waited, and he did it with the epigram-

most significant. most momentous ut
teranccs on capital and labor is in
corporatcd in a state document, his first
annual message to congress in 1861. In
that historic document he wrote these
words:
There is one point with its connec-
tions not so hackneyed as most others
to which | ask brief attention. 1t is
the effort to place capital on an equal
footing with, or above, labor, in the
structure of government 1t is assumed
that labor is available only in connec
tion with capital; that nobody labors
unless somebody else owning capital.

existed if labor had not first existed.
Labor is the superior OF capital, and de-
serves much the highest consideration.
No men living are more worthy to be
trusted than those who toll up from
poverty; none less inclined to take or
touch aught which they have not hon
cstly earned. Let them beware OF sur
rendering a political power which they
already possess. and which if Surrend-
cred will surely be used to close the
door of advancement against such as
they. and to fix new disabilities and
burdens upon them till all OF liberty
shall be lost"
There is a fundamental principle of
economies, which President of the
United States nearly half century age
felt it necessary to enunciate in a state
paper, and there are instances every day
that that principle remains purposely
unrecognized in this day and generation
by some who pose as the leaders of the
people
Labor may well take part, and
prominent part, in the observanees to
which the week centering about Febru-

a new and determined impetus to the
movement to have the Emancipator's
birthday forever dedicated as a national
holiday There is no other day in the
calendar SO deserving of this distinct
ion The people want this honor shown

and organized labor by pioneering

frequently cited President Jackson's
precedent in the historic National Bank
case. Thus in Il speech in Chicago in
1888 he said, referring to the Supreme
courts status, and distinguishing be-
tween an abstract judicial pronounce
mcnt and what he termed Il rule for
political action, he declared.
"Why. this Supreme court once de
cided a National Bank to be con-titu
tional, but General Jackson, as prcsi.
dent of the United States, disregarded
the decision and vetoed the bill for a
rechartcr, partly on constitutional
grounds. declaring that the supreme
court had no right to lay down a rule
to govern Il coordinate branch of the
government"
On this same subject at Cincinnati a
year later he cnunciated this, "The peo-
pie of the United States are the right
courts, not to overthrow the constitu-
tion, but to overthrow the men who
pervert the constitution" And here is
a ringing utterance made in 1861, when
he was president of the United States.
whose pertinent application at the pres
cnt day is self evident.
The candid citizens must confess that
if the policy of the government upon
vital questions affecting the whole peo-
pie, is to be ircvocably fixed by de-
cisions of the upper court, the instant
they are made in ordinary litigation,
between parties in personal actions, the
people will have ceased to be their own
rulers, having to that extent practically
resigned their government into the
hands of that eminent tribunal
Lincoln not only on repeated occa-
sions proclaimed his sympathy with the
cause of labor so imperfectly organized
in his time, but on one occasion digress
ed to congratulate courageous band of
strikers and to declare his approval of
their method of resisting capitalistic OPP
preston. This was in n speech at New
Haven, Conn. in 1860, strike of shoe
makers being then on in that city. The
future president said to general aud
ience, referring to the strike agitation
Il am glad to see that a system of
labor prevails here in New England un-
der which laborers can strike when they
want to, where they are not obliged to
work under all circumstances, and are
not tied down and obliged to labor
whether you pay them or not"

Eng, in 1868, he said it seemed to have
developed upon the American people to
test whether a government establish
ed on the principles of human freedom
can be maintained against an effort to
build one upon the exclusive foundation
of human bondage And in his Cineim-
att speech he declared "The working
men are the basis of all governments
for the plain reason that they are the
more numerous"

PREVENTING PAINT TROUBLES.

It's easy enough to recognize the
symptoms of poor paint, after it has
been on awhile-after its inherent
tendency to crack and peel and scale
and blister, etc., has developed into
trouble. You know these paint dis
eases" usually indicate adulteration
or substitution in the paint materials.
And you know the only remedy is re-
painting.
A little knowledge of paint and
painting requirements, and how to
made sure of the purity and quality
of materials, would prevent all trou-
BILE, and save the big extra expense of
re-painting; just as q proper knowl-
edge of simple health,laws, and OBJ
servance of them prevents sickness.
A complete painting guide, includ-
ing a book of color schemes, specifi-
cations for all kinds of painting work,
and an instrument for detecting adul-
iteration in paint materials. with di-
rections for using it, can be had free
by writing National Lead Co., 1902
Trinity Bldg. New York, and asking
for Houseowner's Painting Outfit
No. 40.

chase of white lead (the only sure

tee of purity and quality.
