Election Managers
Indicted By Jury
Manager At EllijaY Box, Col.
Burtz. Was Given a Fine OF
$50 BY Judge.

Ellijay, Ca, Sept. 10.-The supe-
rior court of Gilmer county convened
here this week, Judge N. A. Morris
presiding. A large crowd in atten-
dance the court house was crowded
to OVERLOOKING. Sew. J. P. Fore was
elected as foreman Of the grand jury,
this body being composed of a num-
Der of the most prominent and
substantial citizens of this county,
three Baptist ministers being on it.
After returning indictments against
four parties in JAIL the grand jury
Immediately went into the investi-
cation of the charges Of fraud in the
primary election, held August 23rd,
in whichit has been publicly charg-
ed that 1856 parties, who wete not
registered, we're permitted to vote.
AS a result of this investigation "a
of the MANAGERS were indicted under
the following section of tbs pure
election" of 1903. Section 4.-Be it
further enacted that no manager of
any such primary election shall re-
ceive the ballot of any elector until
he has first ascertained that the
name of such electOr does appear
upon the registration list furnished
for such election by the registrars,
etc. This act providing further that
any manager violating this provision
shall be punisheh as for misde-
meanor. 1t was shown that the coun-
ty registrars had furnished the va
rious MANAGERS certified lists of the
registered voters, and in number
of precincts the managers would not
regard the registered lists, but per-
mited their political friends to vote,
and insisted upon their voting:
whether they were registered or not.

Experiments in Raising Corn.

Several of our state papers have
had good deal to say recently
about the possible yield of corn on
an acre of land, and as our contrl-
button to the subject, we state the
following facts which are matters OF
record easily accessible among the
files of the South Carolina A9ricul-
tural Society; of the American Ag.
riculturist, the leading farm journal
of this country, and of the agricul-
tural department at Washington:
First-A few years before the late
war between the United States and
the Confederate states, DR.. Parker,
then superintendent of the hospital
for the insane at Columbia, 5. u
tried many experiments in corn
culture on land near tn at city, which
without fertilizer would produce
about twelve or fifteen bushels to
the acre. By heavy fertilization
iudicious cultivation and irrigation
he increased the yield from year to
year until he reached a maximum
of q ; bushels and some quarts on
a single acre This yield held the
record for carn production in the
the United States until after the
war.
Second-In the early ninties 1881
we think the American Agricultu-
rist, published by Orange Judd Com
pany of New York offered a prize
of $1,000 for the largest yield OF corn
on a single acre, anywhere in the
United States. This was supple
mented by an additional prize of
$500 by the South Carolina Agrlcul-
turaI Society. Naturally. with such
a tempting reward at stake, there
were many contestants, several In
the county in which the writer was
then living; none of these, however,
obtained a yield of more than 100
bushels. The prize was won by a
Mr.. Drake of Marlboro county, S. S.,
who produced 254 bushels on a
single acre.
Now, if there any old Pyrro's dis
ciples who doubt the foregoing state
ment it can be readily verified by
communications with the Orange
Judd Company, publishers of the
American Agriculturist, New York,
and with the secretary of the South
Carolina Agricultural Society, Co.
lumbia, S. C. who originated the con-
test and paid the large prizes offer
ed, and must therefore have been
fully satisfied that the yield claimed
by Mr.. Drake was actually produc-
ed.
The lesson we would like to i'm
press by the foregoing facts, is that
the South has never been
ranked as a corn country" it has
for more than fifty years held the
record for the largest yield per given
area, of any other section in the
The South is indeed Gods
country, and with its vast possibili-
ties fully developed it could very
nearly feed the world with its food
products, as it now comes near
clothing the world with its cotton

can boast of, as a casual digging
about in comparative statistics
proved.
Take, for instance, the value Of
the exports of the two world-leading
cities. Londons exports last year
amounted to $373,841, 100, which
seemed like an immense sum until
New York exports were looked up.
They reached 1907, 239, 481-almost
twice as much.
Then look at the land value of
the rivals. London, with an area of
about 800 square miles, estimated
its realty in 1909 as worth $4,000
100000. New York's realty, COM
pressed within space of only 300

Automobile Races
$4,000 In Purses

Atlanta, Ga, Sept 13.-Nearly
$4,000 in cash, as much more IN
cups and the richest single purse
ever offered by any speedway in the
world are the features Of the pro-
gram for the fall meet of the At
lanta Automobile Association which
has just been issued.
In exact figures $11,750 in cold
cash is to be distributed among the
men who race in Atlanta in the fall.
By days the cash distribution will
be:
Thursday, Nov. 3rd, $2,825
Friday, Nov. 4th, $3,545
Saturday, Nov. 5th, $3.50
aA6 far as can be learned this is
a :, largest bunch of money ever
i 10 gibuted by Speedway track in
Three days.
But to make the affair truly note
able the association has offered S.
600 in gold for an Atlanta Speed
way Grand Prize race. The car
that flashes first over the wire in
this event gets $4,000 The second
car is in for $1,000. Third money
is $500, fourth $3.50, fifth $3.50, and
the sixth man gets his entrance
money back, an even $500.
1t is likely that a handsome tro-
ply will be secured as an additional
prize in the Grand Prize Event but
whether it is or not the $4,000 IN
gold ought to attract the greatest
drivers of Europe and America.
The event will be at 259 miles and
will be a free-for-all.
The Coca-Cola trophy will have
1926 in gold added this year and
the City of Atlanta trophy will net
the winner $1,000, while $3.50 will
be split up among the next four
cars, divided as follows: second $500
third 5000, fourth $500, fifth $50.

AS TO sKYsCRAPERs.
In the matter of buildings, tall,
broad or any way you want to take
them, New York has London looking
like an up state, third-class town.
The talIest structure in the ancient
British town is St. Paul cathedral,
which rears its spire 366 feet in the
air. 1t would take pretty nearly
two cathedrals like that to overtop
the big white Metropolitan tower,
whose peak is 700 feet 3 inches
above the level of Madison-ave. Any
decent office building constructed
within the last couple CT decades
in New York would loom up above
London's highest architectural point.
A few years ago the Britishers
made great boast of their wonder
full new Waterloo bridge, which ex-
tended for 1880 feet above the wa
ter. New York's Greensboro bridge
stretches for 7,449 feet and is 165
feet above the East river.
AS port of great travel London
has long had a reputation. Yet last
year the number of alien passengers
who arrived there in vessels was 63,-
129. Alien passengers arriving at
New York numbered Isl, 786-and
1909 was sort of an off year at that,
usually more than 100000 entered
this port.

Down at Bismarck, Mo-, one
day last week the city marshal shot
and seriously wounded man who
was attempting to escape arrest by
running from the officer, which is
almost an exact duplicate of an
other case that happened at DE
Soto only a few weeks ago. In
both these. cases the man shot was
not criminal, but simply a petty
offender under The misdemcunor
laws. If there is any law in The
Missouri statutes which legally
iustifies this free use of the pistol
by the officers of the law, the pco-
pie of the state would do we'll to
demand its peal; if there is no
such law, there should be prompt
prosecution of officers who shoot
to kill upon no just and legal pro
vocation. In such cases the con
duct of the officer becomes more
criminal than that of the man he
sought to arrest, and the mere fact
that he holds the authority of the
law to make an arrest should not
absoIve him from the offence of
murder or attempted murder. The
United States is the only civilized
country on earth where police of
ticers are permitted TO use deadly
weapons to affect an arrest, except
perhaps, where the offender has
committed a very serious crime,
and IT our newspapers were less
lax in condemning this practice.

The city of Milwaukee sprang a
surprise at lis recent election by
returning a full Socialistic munich
pal government 10y startling ma
iority. As we understand it, Mil
waukee has heretofore been Il
Democratic city, but the returns
indicate that the Socialists got their
votes from the Republicans rather
than from the Democrats. Pre-
dictions are being freely made as
to the outcome of Milwaukee's at
tempt at Socialistic rule. The out
lined policy of the incoming add
ministralion holds nothing but the
welfare of the masses of the people
in view, us a matter Of course, bnt
that its attempt III carrying ont
this policy will be failure is al
most certain. One swallow never
made II summer, and isolated trials
at socialism, with all surrounding
interests in antagonism with it
must inevitably fail because of this
isolation and antagonism. Politi-
cal and social revolutions are al
ways failure until they have Il
ma ajority Of the people in their sup
port; public opinion alone can
make them Il success. Neverthe-
less. whether the trial ut Milwau-
kee is failure or success, the

ley is wasting the public revenues

a Democratic senate and stale
treasurer. Bro. Organ of the
Monitor has represented Dent
county in the legislature a number
of terms and is perfectly familiar
with the routine process of handle
ing and paying out the states reve-

made misleading statement in
volving the Governor to discredil
him in the eyes of the voters. Bro.
Organ may feel there is no dishon-
esty in such an action, but many
of the readers of his paper must
take different view of it. As to
Governor HadIev being extrava-
giant, it is matter of record that
he warned the last legislature
against making appropriations iu
excess of the estimated revenue,
and after the house with the ap.
proval of the senate ignored this
warning, the Governor 80 exercis-
