For State Treasurer.

To the People of Georgia: The
Honorable Pope Brown having de-
clined to become a candidate to sue
coed himself as State Treasurer |
hereby announce myself a candidate
for that Office, subject to the action
of the Democratic party at the ap-
preaching primary for the selection
of State House officers. My candi-
day is based on my qualifications to
fill the office of State Treasurer, as
demonstrated by long and faithful
service formerly in that capacity,
from which Office l voluntarily re-
tired several years ago on account
of i'll health. My health having been
restored would like to fill the office
again, and to that end I beg the sup
port of the people. Respectfully,
VIM. J. SPEER.

THE AUTOMOBILE CRAZE.
From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
One hundred thousand and five hun
dred automobiles have been regis
tere in New York state 1t has been
estimated that 100000 automobiles
will be manufactured in this coun-
try this year, and sold. The fac
tories are reported to have orders
ahead for every machine they can
turn out, and more. They are work
ing overtime, and the public seems
to be ready to absorb more and more,
like a sponge. The 100000 ma
chimes that will be made and sold
this year will represent $500, 0OO,-
900 of capital tied up in them. Mr..
James J.. Hill pointed out the other
day the danger of the automobile
craze running the country into a
financial panic. He asserts that the
great amount of money being with
drawn from the productive indus
tries for automobiles couldn't be in
creased much without causing
trouble. Not a dollar of this money,
he said, would produce a bushel of
grain or a pound of meat Another
speaker on the subject said the coun-
try, rich at it it, couldn't stand such
a heavy drain on its resources for
a long time, the drain not only d.
verting money from business, but
actually taking men away from the
management of gainful occupations
and placing them where everything
was going out and nothing coming
in"

SOUTHERN LIFE INSURANCE.

1t is gratifying to note that the
movement of well-known ana pro-
gressive business men to organize an
old-line legal reserve insurance COM
pany, with headquarters in Dawson,
is meeting with the hearty support
and encouragement of the people
and press of this section. The South
has heretofore missed a great oppor-
tunity by not taking advanced steps
along this line.
Why should New York, in 1908,
have $10,623,733,785 in policies re-
ported to the Insurance Department,
and why should Harvard, Conn, a
city of $4,000 population, have
$3.50, 100000 worth, while Virginia
city of 1000 had in 1908 a total of
$4,000, 1000, or SOAPS per capita?
Why shouldn't the people of South
west Georgia take an active part in
the launching of the Washington
Lee Life Insurance Company with
the end that the money they send
away to pay premiums and big divi-
dends will be kept at home?
Our people need to wake up and
give this problem some serious
thought.

For the State Senate.

Whereas, the Senatorial Committee
OF the Eleventh senatorial district
on the 28th of March, in accordance
with their duty to do so, named a.
day for the senatorial primary to be-
held under the new law which pre-
walls as to the coming state primary,
and being a law-abiding citizen of
my district and state | hereby an
nounce myself a candidate for the
Senate under this call.
No matter how regretful myself
or others may be over doing away
with how Terrell, Randolph and Clay
have been doing in the past it is a.
law passed and voted for by Shaw,
my opponent, and if it is now so bad
(before ever being tried) for him
to get to the senate on he should
blame himself and not we humble,
law-abiding citizens he forced it on,
Should l be honored by the dis

anxious to carry out their will and
not the determined plan of my own

given me and from what my friends
advise me | will carry my home

contrary. There having been no eX'

THE GUBERNATOLIAL SITUATION

THE GUBERNAIOLIAL SITUATION
After the meeting of the State
Democratic Executive Committee Sat-
urday we shall probably have COM
plete list of the gubernatorial candi-
dates. COntroller-General Wright
has announced that he will not be
a candidate, and we have in sight
Judge Russell of the Court of Ap-
peals. Mr.. H. H. Perry, Senator from
the Gainesville district, and Mr.. l..
l.. Middlebrooks, member of the Leg
islature from Newton county.
The interesting feature of the sit
uatiOn thus far is the silence which
Gov. Brown maintains. He has said
nothing, and there is no sign yet as
to when he will make his announce
ment. 1t looks as if he had decided
to remain in the background until
all of those who have gubernatorial
aspirations have made up their minds
as to whether or not they will enter
the contest. From what is seen in
the public prints it is a pretty fair in
ference that Gov. Brown isn't 60
ing to have hard fight to get an
other term. AS the Savannah News
says, he has very pronounced fol-
lowing and it is pretty safe to say
that percentage of those who voted
against him two years ago will vote
for him this year. He has made a
fairly acceptable governor, and there
fore there is nowhere a marked feel
ing of hostility to him. Besides,
there seems to be a desire to have a
quiet campaign this year
Mr.. Middlebrooks has some things
in his platform which will have the
approval of a pretty big percentage
of the people, but unless he is a man
of great force and oratorical ability
he will not be able to create sufficient
interest in his Platform declarations
to insure him big vote.

For Representative

To the Voters of Terrell County:
1 take this opportunity to thank the
people of Terrell county for the hon
ors which they have heretofore con-
ferred upon me. Recognizing that
our state is passing through cond'
lions that require active, expert
enced, conservative and wise repre-
sentatives in it's legislative hall, and
believing that my acquaintance with
public needs and experience in mat
tiers of state has better fitted me to
give you efficient service I now offer
myself as candidate for representa-
tive for the ensuing two years, sub
ject to the primary. Respectfully
yours, JNO. r. IRWIN.

There is pending in congress a bill
to appropriate 100000 annually
for the construction of public high
ways. This is matter of much i'm
portance, especially to the people of
the south, and should the bill become
law it will do much towards solving
the good roads question. There is
no more reason why the federal gov
eminent should not make appropria-
tons for road work than there is
that no appropriations should be
made for Manageable purposes.

ANOTHER FORWARD STEP.

The nation took another step for
ward in advanced civilization a few
days ago when both the Senate and
the House of Representatives passed
a bill providing for the parole of fed
eral convicts when they have served
one-third of their sentences. OF
course this clemency is to be extend
ed only to those whose conduct is
such as to win from parole boards
favorable recommendations.
On the theory that Imprisonment
is designed more as a corrective than
a punishment it would seem that the
system of parole is one to be highly
recommended. After a man has
been proved guilty of an offense and
sentenced to be imprisoned for a
term of years it is bid for good
citizenship rather than the contrary
if after time he can be released on
good behavior. The ever-present
fact that ill-behavior means a re-
turn to prison without trial and that
the contrary means continued free
dom should go long way toward
keeping offenders on the right path,

MEANS MUCH FOR THIS SECTION

From the Worth County Local.
In our news columns will be seen
an announcement of an insurance
company being organized at Dawson,
Ca This is a move in the right di-
rection. The people of the south
will never have the wealth that is
justly theirs until they begin taking
care of themselves. The amount of
money sent north for insurance, au-
tomobiles and other manufactured
articles is something fabulous, and
we are always glad to see any en-
terprise started that promises to stop
some of this stream of wealth in it's
northward flow.

New York Health Department Reports
Large Increase.

New York, July 7.-Statistics made
public by the health department show
that in the first six months of this
year .035 couples were married in
this city. while only 20,126 couples
were united in the same period of
1909. No city official was prepared
to explain the reason for the increase
of about 1000 weddings in the six
months The total number of deaths
in the city this year up to July l
last was 1886, and the rate 1892,
compared with 3S,264 deaths and a
rate of 1877 in the corresponding
period of 1909. Births also increased
largely over the first half of last year,
there being 63,757 births, an in
crease of $40.
Last weeks death rate in the city
was 1904, compared with 1881 in the
corresponding week of 1909. The total
of deaths was 1859 last week. A large
percentage of the mortality was
among children. Diarrhoeal diseases
killed 100 persons; tuberculosis, 1877;
heart disease, 141, and Bright's dis
ease, 101.
