Washington. Dec. S.--That Pres

thern negroes 70 office rather than
Southern ones is the information
which has been pretty thoroughly
discussed among the politicians of
Washington ard elsewhere since
Booker Washington was here last
week. AS the result of this policy
it is expected that the negroes in
tie South who are holding impor-
tant offices will, as heir toms ex-
pire, be displaced for the most part
by whites. and in turn recognition
will be given to colored men in the
North. The list of colored men
holding important offices in the
South under the Federal Govern
ment includes the following:
Robert Smalls, collector of Gus
toms at Beaufort, S. c.; Henry A..
Rucker, collector Of internal revenue
at Altar ia, Ga; Joseph Lee, collect

SOUTH CAEtLInk BOY THE ONLY
EYE WITNESS TO TIE KILLING.
JURY STOOD blsE 10 TRaEE

A large number OF our citizens
have just returned from Florida
where they have been attending the
second trial of T. S. Glover for the
murder of Edwin S. Rawl. Il will
be recalled hat Ms. Rswl was shot
at lumber camp known as Alco
about one year ago; and from the
statement of the only eye witness,
Allen Perry, a South Carolina boy,
the killing was without legal just:fi-
cation. However, there was snother
mistrial in the case, the j,.cy steni-
ing nine to three. 50 we age inform
ed by those Presert, instead of clev-
en- to one as formerly published.
The friends and relatives of Mr..
Rawl, who have been TO Florida or
this case, say that numerous un-
founded reports have been circula-
ted throughout the county in which
the trials were had derogatory to
the deceased and IA orable 70 IT,.

the subject of jury duty urging them
as good citizens 10 discountenance
any and every effort to influence or
tamper with jurors in the discharge
of their duties. This action on the
part of the judge was very crafty

family, who are anxious that thi.
case should be tried before an i'm.

THE PARTY NAME.

The men you employ to make laws
for you in Washington are doing it
with a vengeance. Take, for instance,
their laws regarding postal affairs.
Not only do they give the railroad
corporations eight times the price for
hauling the mails that the railroads
charge for hauling the same number
of pounds of express on the same
trains, but they charge you sixty
times as much as Germany charges
for the same service. But even that
is not all. German merchants can
ship any weight of package up to
eleven pounds across the Atlantic and
across the American continent
through our mail system for less than
you can send it five miles. ANY for
eign merchant can use the United
States postal system for one-fourth
to one-half less than what you have
to payA Those blessed Congressman
you have been voting for all your
lives have been doing this to you.

are doing you continue to elect them

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Hamilton Herald, undertakes in it's
last issue to answer several questions
the Exponent propounds anent the
effect the tariff schedule will have
upon tie average Texan, and yet it
doesn't answer a single question.
Well be little more explicit, and
ask the Herald the following cues
lions direct:
Will duty on lumber cheaper or
raise the price Of that commodity?
Will duty on iron ore, when it is
considered the steel trust owns prac-
tically all the ore beds in this coun-
try, cheaper or raise the price on
steel products, such as nails, wire,
and various other products of this
nature?
Will a duty of5$4 per ton on wood
pulp cheaper or raise the price Of
print paper, such as the Herald uses?
Does not apast experience with the
trusts prove that a high tariff raises
the price of these commodities?
If SO, does It not follow as a natu-
raj consequence, that it is beneficial
to the manufacturer and detrimental
to the consumer?
Did not strong Bailey adherents
help build the platform which the
Junior Senator repudiates and did he
raise his voice in protest at that time?
Does not the Democratic platform
call for free wood pulp and free lun1-
Der, and was not the "Juniah Semi
tab" elected on said platform?
Is the "think tank of said Senator
superior to that of the entire Demo
cratic party? R. S. V. P.-Pioneer

THE MAN WHO PAYS THE TAXES.

The man who owns a little noun
tain farm, a steer, sewing machine
and few chickens bears the burden
of the taxes. His property is nearly
always assessed at it's full value. On
the other hand the capitalist who
owns his thousands, and sometimes
tens of thousands, of acres of fine
timber and mineral land has his
property assessed at one-half or less
than half it's value. Something
wrong. That's the condition of af-
fairs in Swain county today.-Bryson
City Times.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-07-29
ALWAYS WRITE YOUR NAME
PLAINLY.

This, from the Progressive Farmer,
is so much to the point, and covers
SO many of our troubles, that we wish
each Of our subscribers would read it
carefully, and do for the Jeffersonian
what Mr.. Poe asks his readers to do
for his paper:
''For just one moment please, look
on the little yellow label tag, and see
if your name is printed exactly right.
If not, drop us postal and say, You
have my name John r.. Mills; it
should be John w. Mills; or, You
have it Robert H. Brame' it should
be Robt. Fl. Broome. Now, while the
dull summer season is on, we have
plenty of time for correcting all such
errors, and we should like to get
them all corrected. Also if there is
any error in your label date, tell us
about it right now and don't wait till
we ask for your renewal and then get
mad Especially if you are getting
two papers do we wish you to notify
us immediately give us the names
and dates exactly as they appear on
both labels and tell us how you think
the error occurred.
and all this leads to another
point: When writing us-or anybody
else-always write your name very,
very plainly. Perhaps half the errors
in our subscription department come
from the failure of subscribers to
write their names plainly. Any ordi-
nary English word, if indistinct, we
may guess at from the context and
with the help of the dictionary, but we
have no way of guessing a mans sur
name or initials, nor any dictionary
of surnames to help us out, nor any
context to illuminate our darkness.
Unless you are going to write care
fully, better print your name. And
when you send in other peoples
names, Of course, the same rules ap-
ply. People sometimes send us lists
of subscribers SO carelessly written
that our clerks cannot read them, and

SELFISH AND SECTIONAL.

Never before in the history of the
country has Congress attempted to
enact a more selfish and sectional
triff law than the Payne-Aldrich bill
which is now under consideration in
Congress.
Notwithstanding the vigorous eff
forts that have been made to secure
just and liberal reduction of the ex-
cessive and burdensome Dingley
rates they have been unsuccessful.
When the question of revising the
tariff was agitated more than a year
ago it was without doubt the general
understanding among the voters that
the high schedules would be reduced.
6 Notwithstanding this belief Con-
GIess. proceeds to make numerous in
creases in the already too high rates
and the taxpayers and consumers
will be compelled to bear additional
burdens where they had right to
expect relief in view of the agitation
for revision of the tariff
The Eastern manufacturers and
trust magnates have forced upon the
country the most selfish and section
al bill in the history of tariff legisla-
ton. The consumers ask for bread
and they received a stone.
Will the people, who love justice
and fair dealing forever submit to
such humbuggery? Will they con-
tinue to place confidence in the party,
controlled by Aldrich, which has SO
grossly betrayed the trust confded to
it?
Why was there any agitation re-
garding the tariff question if it was
not intended that the people should
have some relief from the great bur-
dens imposed by the Dingley law?
If Senator Aldrich and the other
Eastern Senators who are supporting
him in his fight to increase the tariff
schedules, had frankly stated before
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-07-29

the election that the Dingley rates
would be increased would President
Taft have been elected?
Aldrich was shrewd enough to
conceal his real purpose to increase
the rates by remaining silent before
the election
Isn't this a fine specimen of states
manship?
Are the voters generally so indif-
ferent to their real welfare that they
will tolerate such chicanery and
humbuggery and deception?
The time has come when the mass
es of this country should rebuke
such treachery on the part of men
occupying high official POSITIONS

ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
There are those no doubt who hon
estly believe the Democratic party
stands for something, as a separate
and distinct party That's mistake.
When 55 members of the National
Senate and House claiming to be
Democrats, will walk right over and
vote for the Aldrich high protective
tariff duties to protect the trusts, it's
aims of the National Democratic party
leaders. Why join a second hand
you to the Aldrich, or trust, wing of
the Republican party? AS we have re-
our politics first hand. The idea of
being buncoed by the Democratic
the Republican trusts and machine
manipulation never appealed to us
as the proper thing to do. That's the
only object today for keeping life in
the Democratic party,-just to keep
the trusts in control by joining issues
with the Republican leaders in every
pinch hit stage of the great ma
tional game of politics. Messenger,
