SHOULD FOLLOW SUMTER'S EX-
AMPLE,

We nave something like half a
million autos in the United States.
There are about 275 factories en-
gagged in building motor cars. The
output now must be 500 or more cars
per day. Of course, that is not kept
up all the year round, but in the SUM
mer months the manufacturing plants
are working to their full capacity.
Three of TIE larger companies have a
combined daily capacity of more than
1000 autos. One of the younger com
panies adyertises that it turns ont 40
cars a day.
II the industry keeps on growing
as it has grown in the past we win
soon have a million cars in this coun-
try.
And all motorists want winter tour
ing roads, They cannot tour in tile
North in the cold months, but if we
give them good roads, they will bring
their cars South. There are two
things witch the motor tourist re-
quires: Good roads and good hotels.
Sumter county will have both In TAX
ing the lead in road improvement ia
this section, Sumter set a splendid
example, and it is not only gratifying
but it is good advertisement when
representatives from other counties
come here to see our work.
Unfortunately, some of the counties
below US made the mistake of putting
too much clay on their roads for a
surface. Thomas, Mitchell and Col
quit have erred in this way, and the
mistake can be remedied by adding
sand.
The tour round the state next No
vember will advertise tie road
through Americas and will establish
It as the chief highway for touring
between North and South Georgia.
The counties north of Bibb need to
wake up and get busy. They have
much to learn and more to do. Tour,
lists coming through from up that way
do not compliment Monroe, Pike,
Spalding and Clayton on their roads.
These counties are standing in their
own light by not building highways
which are negotiable ali the time
They ought to try top soil roads like
those of Clarke and Oglethorpe coun-
ties. They certainly have the ma
terial. 1t Is only question of know
ing how.

WATS0N'S PUERILE METHODS IN
TWO CASES.

Tom Watson is not looming up very
brilliantly since his return to the
Democratic party" Ia fact his con-
duet in TWO especial instances has
been such as to call for nothing but
condemnation.
Fake the case of Congressman Ed
wards, for instance. Watson charged
him with immortality in his office in
the capitol at Washington, alleged that
he had used his influence as congress-
man for the purpose of leading a
woman astray, and that he had been
found in his office with a woman sit
ting in lis lap. He dared Edwards to
deny these charges.
Edwards promptly and emphaticaliy
denounced Watson as a liar and de-
MED the charges in toto.
What did Watson do then. Did he
publish the alleged evidence that he
had claimed to have
No. The evidence seems to have
dissipated into thin air. When public
ly denounced as a villiffer and liar
Watson set up the puerile cry. Come
/ back to Georgia, Edwards, and I'll lave
you arrested"
And now comes the Barron instance
Some one in Atlanta, with about as
much moral and physical courage APP
parently as a chicken, writes letter
to Watson telling him that Barron, in
his position as keeper of public prop
erty. was guilty of grating in the re-
furnishing of the capitol.
Forthwith Watson rushes off letters
to the governor and the speaker of the
house and president of the senate, en-
dorsing the charge against Barron.
The speaker of the house promptly
laid the matter before that body. as
was his duty Watson was called on
to furnish the name of the accuser
That was several days ago. He re-
fuses to furnish the name but now
says he will send in five names Of
witnesses and one of them will be the
accuser. At the same time he de-
nounces THE speaker for giving his let
ter to the house.
In this instance, as in the Edwards
case, Watson acts like a child. His
Come back to Georgia and III have
you arrested" was no more puerilc
than this refusal to furnish the name
of man who had charged a public Of
fetal with graft, and whose charges
Watson, knowing nothing at all him
self, purely ont of personal venom ii
seems, had endorsed, and his further
charge that Speaker Holden had done
him wrong in giving out his letter.
Watson has still failed to give oat
his alleged evidence against Edwards
and it is quite probable that his evil /
dence in the Barron case will be lust
as futile as in that of the congressman
from the first.
We are not smitten with Edwards
and we know nothing of Barron, but
Watson's course in these two cases is
enough to satisfy any fair minded man
that no attention should be paid to his
wild charges against every man in the
Democratic party who refuses to fol-
low the behests Of the old Populist
leader. As for the aceuser in the
Barron case he has shown his true
character by hiding behind Watson's
coat tail and refusing to allow his
name to be divulged.

AN EPITAPH OF EGYPT.

(EtheI NJ. Hewitt, in Harper's Monthly)
within the tomb of a young girl
probably a daughter of Mena the
founder of Memphis, was found the
simple Inscription that she was Sweet
Of heart.
Here, in tits weltering Western World
The veil of sixty centuries lifts,
And strews a crowded. London floor
With troye of Egypts sandy drifts
Here among goblets kings have
quaffed,
Love laughs to scorn the goldsmith s
art.
Where one small s. one in brief attests
Menas young daughter Sweet 81
heart
Oh, surely, crowned with praise like
tiis,
She found the gods dread judgment
kind;
The Secret Places at the Gate
Smiled like the ones she left behind
So long it has been Wen with thee,
Since love and sorrow Sealed thy
sleep,
That even Egypt fails to stir
Thy memory in its shrouded sleep.
So long upon thy happy brows
The 0vercomers' Crown has pressed
It cannot hurt the strangers eyes
Break in upon thy quiet rest.
No space within the Fields of Peace.
Nor any earth-strayed winds recall
How the last lotus on lifa's brink
Flung the first witness on thy pail
Yet well through all the changefal
years
Thy tomb has kept its ancient trmsti
The love that left thee with the stars
Still proves thee peerless in the
dust;
More splendid than these gems which
light
Deaths way for kings with quench-
less fame
A chisel stepped in tears has traced
The legend of thy sacred fame.

THE PEOPLE REFUSE TO GET
EXCITED.

One of the most remarkable features
of the present state campaign is the
comparative apathy of the general
public. Even the drummers, generally
the loudest takers on political lines.

The difference between now and two
years ago is forcefully impressed on
any one who did much railroad
travelling two years ago and is also on
the rails at this time to any extent.
Two years ago it was annoying, one
might almost say disgusting, to be
compelled TO sit for hours and hear
nothing but politics in the railroad

but that is all The day after Smith
announced that he would run again
there was little or no discussion of
the matter on railroad trains. Since
then there has been nightly little The
people, apparently, refuse to enthuse
over politics this year. 1t is evidently
going to be a most difficult matter to
get their blood up to fever heat again.
Several causes have conspired to
bring about this seeming Indifference.
To begin with Gov Brown has given
quite general satisfaction. Then the
people of Georgia have been pros
porous, are now prosperous, and are
thinking more about crops and probq-
pie prices than who is to be governor
or United States senator. smith
