LIKES MUSIC AND FLOWERS.

Dear Daddy Jim:-Here I come
asking for small space in your hap
Ply corner. I am a little blue-eyed
girl, fifteen years of age. I live on
the farm, and like farm life fine. I
have an organ, and can play very
we'll. I like flowers very much. I
will answer some questions. Ben
Blanton's is man blowing. Ruth
Harvey's is smiles. Eva Melton's is
smoke or air. I think Homer Sam
mons is three geese. I am looking
for some postcards. I have three
brothers and two sisters. My papa
and one sister are dead. We have
apples and peaches ripe. I would
like to correspond with some of the
cousins. If this escapes the waste
basket, I will try to do better next
time. With best wishes to The JEFF
fersonian and it's many readers, Ruby
Wellmaker, Amity, Ca, Route 1.

better books also. So now, you see.
there is no excuse for the child not to
go to school. They have everything
10 their advantage, but cannot see
the Importance of using them Many
men keep their sons at home to raise
cotton. Their excuse for doing this
is that they, themselves, got along
all right without education, and that
their boys can do the same. Did
these men ever think of the time
when they were made ashamed of
their own ignorance? That his son
was growing up uneducated, a per-
fect greenhorn as to what the out
sue world m1gh be, and the neigh
Dors' sons and daughters off at col
lege, getting more out of life than
MS own son or daughter? The ne
groes see the chance of educating
themselves, and are reaching right out
and grasping it. Would compulsory
education compel the little waolIy
heads to go to school any more than
they do already? No, they go to
school already, and don't have to be
forced to go either Did you ever
see man, on being asked to. sign his
name, step up and make his mark?
L have, and 1 tell you it must be
awful to do this. Not only this, but
after seeing white men do this. I
have seen colored ones write their
names. What caused the riot of 1906
IN Atlanta? Did these negroes going
to school under a compulsory educa-
ton law have anything to do with
this riot? About idiots, if this law
were to be passed, it could be fixed
so that idiots could not go to school.
Compulsory education is the greatest
thing needed to complete the adj
Vancement of civilization. The child
must be forced to go to school, as he
cannot see the Importance of so do
ing. If this law were passed, a great
change would come over our country
every Way.-Gerald r. Taylor, Wind
sor, S. G..
Il am glad to see the interest
taken in this debate on compulsory
education. AS soon as we have
threshed that subject out, we will
tackle another. What shall it be?)

MORE RIDDLES.

Dear Daddy Jim: will you allow
another Georgia boy to enter your
Club? I am living in the country,
near Glennville, where I am going to
school. | want to answer and ask
some riddles: The answer to Homer
Sammon's is three geese. The an
sWer to Eva Melton's is smoke. The
answer to Ruth Harvey's first one is
smiles, and the second is because
they are long enough. I will ask
one: What should clergyman
preach about? Where did you go on
your twelfth birthday? I will send
a card to each one answering these
riddles. With best wishes to the
Postcard Club and Daddy Jim, Ray

realize that their fate is in their
own hands, and if they want clean
er government that they must get it
themselves, there is a renewed in
terest in the Jeffersonian Clubs.
We have sent out a large number
Of buttons this week, and have re-
ceived many applications for instruc-
lions about the organization of
clubs in Georgia, Arkansas, Okla
homa, Mississippi, South Carolina,
Alabama and Florida.
Now is the time to form clubs for
educational purposes. The people
must know what to vote for, and
whom to vote for. The club-room
should be place for the open dis
cussion Of all social and political
questions. There should be no par
ty lines, no restrictions of creed nor
caste.
Let each club frame it's own plat
form, which may or may not include
local issues. The club should be
distinctly self-governing, indepen-
dent of all other clubs; but at the
same time it should be ready to work
in harmony with all other clubs on
State platform and a National plat
form. The keynote of the clubs is
perfect independence, a pure democ-
racy.
Be liberal. Be broad. Be awake
to the changing conditions, and to
the strong probability that before
long the people will come into their
own again. Remember that in the
organization Of your club you may be
assisting at the birth of a new era
for the South.
To help in the organization of
clubs, we will furnish a printed set
of bylaws, very plain and simple,
with suggestions as to the work the
clubs can do.
To aid the educational work, we
will supply books, magazines and pa
pers to the clubs at publishers rates.
There is no reason why every little
village in the South should not have
it's circulating library. The cost
would be moderate, and the benefit
to every community would be enor-
nous.
The club will soon be strong
enough to exercise a definite influ-
ence. Let there be no hesitation
about taking firm stand on all
questions of right and wrong. No
matter how good man may be, if
he stands for wrong principle,
down with him. No matter how
plausible may be the declarations of
a candidate or an off1ce-holder, if he
is bad man, out with him. Democ-
racy means nothing but the will of
the people, and through these organ
lied clubs the people can rule their
representatives with an iron rod,
and can make their voice heard in

CAN SALARY OF
STATE OFFICIAL
BE GARNISHED?
Attorney General Crawford Is
Up Against a Knotty Legal
Question.

Can the salary of state official be
garnished?
| That is a question which at the
present is puzzling Attorney General
Crawford and Assistant Attorney
General Van Wrinkle, and it will no
, doubt go to the supreme court of
the state for final adjudication. The
same question was submitted to the
legal department of the state in
1904 and the supreme court at that
time decided that the salary of d
state officer was not subject to gar
nishment, but there was no law on
the question-that is no state stat
ute at that time. Since then, how
ever, a statute has been passed on
the subject and it is in the interpre-
tation Of it with a provision of the
state constitution that the trouble
is being experienced.
Law Passed in 1909.
The question was turned over to
Attorney General Crawford for de-
cision this morning when the salary
of Deputy State Game Warden J. L.
Green was garnished in the hands
of the Secretary of State Venson by
Carl Ehelebe in an action brought
in the circuit court of Multnomah
county. An examination of the de-
cisions of the state reports show that
similar case-that of Smith
against Keene-was brought before
the supreme court for decision in
1904, when it was sought to garnish
the salary of an employe of
the state prison The supreme
court held that a garnishment would
not lie and no further attempts
were made through the courts to
reach the salary of state officers by
means of garnishment. But in 1907
the legislature sought to place on
tho statute books a law authorizing
the garnishment of the salary Of
state officers, county officers, the Of
ficers of other public corporations,
but it was vetoed by Governor
Chamberlain. In 1909 the same
measure was brought up again and
this time it was passed over the
veto of the governor and became a
law.
General or Special Law.
The question which is now troub
ling the attorney general and his as
sistant is whether the law fills the
requirement of section "a of article
four of the state constitution which
provides in substance that the legis-
iature shall pass no special laws.
While neither the attorney general
nor his assistant have so far investi-
gated the question sufficiently 10
give a final opinion expressed by
them this morning was that the law
was not general enough to meet the
requirements of this constitutional
provision.
When the case comes up for trial
the state will probably move to set
the garnishment aside on this
ground and the case will then go to
the supreme court on it's merits.

WARMING FOR DAVIDSON MEN
There Is Absolutely No Truth In
Statement That His Vote Is to
Be Divided.

With the gubernatorial campaign
drawing to close the fact has just
developed that campaign canards III
the form of circulars purporting to
represent that General Davidson IL
to be sidetracked and that his vote
is to be distributed between Col
quit and Johnson, are being indus
triously distributed and particular
pains are being taken to place them
in the hands OF Davidson support
ers. The author of the circular boldly
announces, so 1t is claimed, that the
anti-Bailey prohibition vote of Da-
wilson is to go to Johnson and that
Colquitt is to receive the Bailey anti
prohibition vote. This circular did
not come from Gen. Davidson's
headquarters and his friends in IL
lis county are warned that II Is the
fabrication of designing politicians.
Gen. Davidson will remain in the
race until the finish and when the
returns are in from all over Texas
there is not the slightest doubt but
that the result will be in his favor
by a handsome plurality. The con-
test in Ellis county is clearly be-
tween Gen. Davidson and Judge
Poindexter and while the friends of
each are claiming the county the
plurality of either one over the other
will be small. 1t Is a well known
fact that Johnson has lost heavily in
this county during the last ten days
and this vote has gone to Davidson.
