THE STATE ELECTION.

The election Wednesday was, as
everybody expected it would be, a
quiet affair. But little interest was
manifested by the voters generally,
and a smaller vote than usual was
polled.
All of the amendments were car
ried, and four of the counties gave
a majority for Governor Brown. In
these four counties Mr. Thomas E.
Watson has a great deal of influence
and many followers. In the other
counties there were some votes for
Governor Brown, more in some than
in others. In but few of them, how
ever, outside of the four which gave
him majorities, was the effort to get
,out a big vote for Governor Brown
taken seriously, notwithstanding the
fuss and noise and daily spasms of
the Atlanta organ. There was never
any danger that the people of Geor-
gia would forget their primary
pledge, or fail to live up to it.
1t was well understood, of course,
that Governor Brown wasn't a can
d'date, and was in no way a party
to the movement to get those who
supported him in the primary to vote
for him in Wednesdays election.
Some time ago Governor Brown said
that at the end of his term he should
turn over the office of governor to
Mr.. Smith and retire to his farm
Some of Mr.. Smiths friends seemed
to think that the effort to get voters
to cast their ballots for Governor
Brown might result seriously to Mr.
Smiths candidacy, but the result of
the election shows that their fears
were groundless.
Although it did not support him in
the primary in August, The News
congratulates Goyernor-eIect Smith
and wishes for him and the people of
Georgia a patriotic and useful ad-
ministration, and, as we have said
before, we believe he will strive to
that end 1t will be the pleasure of
The News to uphold his hands in
every good work.

USES OF THE COTTON SEED

Many readers of The News remem-
bers when cotton seed were consid-
cred worthless and in the way on
the farm, and not one man in ten
thousand now has any idea of the
great number of uses to which this
once despised product is being put.
From the clean seed are obtained
linters and meats and hulls, the
bulls making the best and most fat
been found. From the linters are
gathered material for mattresses,
felt, wads, paper, rope and a grade
of underwear and likewise celluloid,
out of which gun cotton is made.
The meats furnish oil and meal, the
oil after refining being now in al
most universal use in the kitchens
of this and other countries.
Before refinement to the edible
stage the oil is known under many
names, such as salad oil, stearine,
winter oil and white oil, oleomarga-
rine being the product of stearine.
The white oil is the chief ingredient
in compound lards. The original
oil, also known as soap stock, has
fatty acids used in the manufacture
of soaps, roofing tar, paints and
glycerine, and from this comes the
explosive nitroglycerine.
The meal, aside from it's use as
cattle provender, is transformed into
bread, cake crackers and even can
dy. Last of all come the doctors,
who are saying that this wonderful
seed is a boon to the sick, since from
its oils an emulsion is prepared that
has been known to be of value in
tuberculosis and other ailments.

A Colossal Fraud

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
He should be filled with the spirit
which they claim for Theodore
Roosevelt. But he must be a demo-
crat, not republican. Because
now, as ever, the one and only way
under heaven, in a democratic re-
public, to get change of policies
is to get a change of parties.
Claim for Roosevelt is good. His
recent actions at Saratoga have
shown him up as simply designing
politician who runs with the pro-
gressives and courses with the
standpatters. Theodore Roosevelt
is colossal fraud. He was UNI
masked at Saratoga, and all who
worship him now have no excuse
for not knowing the manner of man
they bow down to.

Mr.. Roddenberx,s Secretary.

From the Worth County Local.
His many friends will be glad to
learn OF the appointment of Col
onel c. E. Hay as the private sec
rotary of Congressman Roddenbery.
The distinguished congressman is to
be congratulated upon this addition
to his encourage, and we are sure
that the genial Colonel will ably rep
resent Sylvester at the national can
ital, and at the same time honor the
position that he occupies. The posi-
ton carries with it salary of ST.
500 per year.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS?

In Illinois, 1t seems, bride
money finds it's way to members
Of the legislature who don't
need to be bribed to do what
they are wanted to do State
Senator HoltZclaw admitted be-
fore the senatorial committee
that is investigating the charge
that United States Senator Lori
mer bribed his way into the
United States senate that he &C
cepted $4,000 in the Lorimer
case, although he stated to the
bride giver that it was his in
tention to vote for Mr.. Lori
mer.-Savannah News.
That is certainly an unusual state
of affairs, and causes our Savannah
contemporary to add that those who
were seeking votes for Mr.. Lorimer
must have been we'll supplied with
money, otherwise they wouldn't have
been so ready to give away that
amount of money to a member who
had already made up his mind to
vote for Mr.. Lorimer.
The investigating committee, IT
says, is going to have a pretty hard
time to prove that Mr.. Lorimer fur
nished the money with which to
bribe members of the legislature
though it may become morally sat
isfed that he did Fifty-three demo
cratic senators and representatives
voted for Mr.. Lorimer, who is a re-
publican, but it isn't charged that
all or any considerable portion OF
them accepted money for their
votes. In fact, it isn't known how
many were bought, but several are
charged with having received money
for their votes.
The interesting question is, how
ever, why should money have been
paid Senator Holtzclaw when he
stated that it was his purpose to vote
for Mr. Lorimer?

WHEN pLUToCRATs TRAVEL.

Several days ago there crossed the
country the most stupendous aggre-
CATION of real plutocrats ever gath
cred under one management. In
special trains $40O,0O0,OO0 worth Of
men jOurneyed over 8,196 miles OF
the United States, going from New
York to attend the annual conven-
ton of the American Bankers Asso-
citation at Los Angeles, Cal. Over
a route covering eighteen states and
the most spectacular portion of the
Canadian Rockies these $50 mem
bers of the New York State Bankers
Association travelled in most luxu-
rious style.
Many of the millionaires took their
families, and each family has one
or more private compartments. The
trains are equipped with all the con-
veniences of home or one Of the new
$4,000 a year flats. There are
pianos, phones that may be hitched
to wires when the trains stop, polite
vaudeville entertainers, electric fans,
and Wallets. For the men there are
club cars and for the women 'gos-
sip cars" To attend to the inner
man there are 50-odd walters and a
dozen cooks.
Twenty-six days from the date
they left the bankers will be back
in their offices.

The Washington Post advances
another idea as to how to reduce the
murder rate in this country. 1t in
sists that the federal congress should
levy heavy tax on the manufacture
of deadly weapons other than the
ordinary pocketknife that can be
concealed on the person, and every
state should adopt the English law
on the subject and rigidly enforce it.
Then murder would gradually go out
of fashion, says the Americas Times
Recorder Perhaps SO. But the
surest way to reduce the number of
murders would be to have more
hangings conducted with neatness
and dispatch.

use of pistols, let them hand out
justice to these who shoot to kill
instead of sitting in the jury box
to be swayed by every sentimental
plea a plausible advocate can frame,
and then we will have no pistol

that hurts; not merely 'toting"

Mayor Harris of Cuthbert upon fining

The Nashville American was a
force in Tennessee, and a great
Southern newspaper. The prohibi-
ton democrats got control of the
stock of The American, and it was
absorbed by The Tennesseean, and
turned to the support of Ben Hoop
er, the republican-independent can
didate for governor Now it is said
that Mr.. Milton Ochs, late editor of
The American, will start a new daily
in Nashville, and it will work with
and for the regular democracy and
against Hooper. That was to be ex-
pected. 1t is incredible that Nash
vile should lie without daily paper
supporting the regular wing of the
democracy.

TWO SINNERS.
BY Ella VIII eeler Wilcox.

There was a man, it was said one
time,
Who went astray in his youthful
prime
Can the brain keep cool and the
heart quiet
When the blood is a river that's run
ming riot?
And boys will be boys, the old folks
say,
And the man is the better who's had
his day.
The sinner reformed and the preacher
told
OF the prodigal son who came back
to the fold,
And christian people threw open the
door
With warmer welcome than ever
before.
Wealth and honor were his to COM
mand,
And a spotless woman gave him her
hand,
And the world strewed their path
way with blossoms abloom,
Crying, God bless ladye, and God
bless groom"

| There was a maiden who went as
tray,
In the golden dawn of her LIES
young day;
She had more passion and heart than
head,
And she followed blindly where fond
love led.
And love unchecked is dangerous
guide,
To wander at will by a flair girls
side.
The woman repented and turned
from sin,
But no door opened to let her in.
The preacher prayed that she might
be forgiven,
But told her to look for mercy in
heaven,
For this is the law of the earth we
know
That the woman is stoned while tha
man may go.
A brave man welded her after all
But the world said frowning. I've
