Tired of fractional Politics.

from the Albany Herald.
The Herald is inclined to believe
that there will be less of factional
politics and personal bitterness in
thlS years campaign than charac-
terlzed those of two years and four
years ago. While the lines are per
maps as clearly drawn between the
leaders in the two factions that con-
tehd Tor the control of the state gov
eminent as they have ever been we
believe that the masses of the peonle
nave IN a measure become tired of
SO much fractional politics, and will
therefore be more inclined to consid-
er the issues involved this year than
they were in the two last Drevious
campaigns. The average man of in
telllgence, in the light of all that has
transplred within the past six wears
is beginning to separate the real and
material from the fictitious and snu-
rlous IN oar state politics, and the
people are more inclined, if we have
estimated public sentiment correctly
TO cake their politics nationally and
draw line Of distinction between
patriotism and mere factionalism.

Another State Campaign.

The political surprise of the announce
ment for governor of Ex-Governor Smith after num-
Der of statements that ne would be a candi-
date The given by his friends Mr.. Smiths
change of mind is that Governor Brown his message
to the legislature, challenged him to contest by at
lacking his policies, but there be some mistake
about that being the real cause the message was
practically the that which the governor sent to
the legislature last year. That being the case, the
former had before him the his poll
ees when he declared sometime ago that he wouldn't
be candidate.
Of it is useless to discuss this now but
nevertheless it but be regretted quiet and
peace much desired at this time, when the people
are prosperous and contented is be disturbed by
politics. That the campaign will be a lively one with
the result less in doubt there no question:
for Mr. Smith is popular and aggressive cam
pagner with friends in every part the who will
stand by him. Governor Brown, too knows a thing
or two in the game of politics. and has following
is loyal and true which, together with fact that he
is in position and has made capable and conservative
official, gives him advantage that will be hard to
overcome. All things considered the conditions are
now decidedly favorable to the governors reelection
by increased majority.
pleasing prospect of the campaign is that it will
be free of the personalities and bitterness of the two
previous ones 1t is well at all times to concede to
every individual the right of his opinion and in
political differences to always recognize the rights
the honesty and sincerity of purpose of others.
fair, Clean good-natured campaign is what every
body desires this year.

Boost This Home Enterprise.

With the granting of charter by the State to the
Washngton-Lee Life Insurance Company of Georgia
there is added to DawsOn's list of enterprises half
million dollar life insurance company. 1t is the pur-
pose of the company. with this large paid in capital
operations will be based the old line legal reserve
plan, under which many of the noted insurance
panies have their success.
In the list of the charter members of the company
found the names of prominent in business and
financial circles of this section.
The large offer of inducements to be found in this
field, coupled with the rapidly developing disposition
of the people Of the South look with favor on in
companies whose investments will all prac-
caly be made at home together with the
plan under which the Washington-Lee company is to
ton from the start.
But while this is true there is something due the
company by the people of Dawson. 1t should have
good will of person in the town and county
the material aid and encouragement of everyone
give it; for it is recognized that the greatest
sources of strength to community is the building up
and fostering of home enterprises.
Every dollar brought to Dawson, matter by
whom, increases the available capital of Dawson,
frmer the foundation which the city rests.
The spirit of pride in Dawson the desire to help
build up the city, should be sufficiently strong to cause
to do for this enterprise, which promises to
be of much benefit all that it deserves.
The subscription books of the company are now
open.

Aid Asked For Negro Farmers.

1t has been suggested that the legislature make
small appropriation in aid of negro farm Institutes
1t seems that under the direction of P. c. Clark d-
rector of agriculture in Clark University Institutes
have been held in LauGens Sumter, Campbell
counties and that they have been productive good
results
In very sensible editorial this subject the Sa-
vannah News says: We depend upon the negro to do
very large part OF farm labor and even encour-
age him to become farmer but state does prac-
eay nothing to make him efficient aborer or good
farmer. The white farmers have their Institutes and
There is no good reason why the black farmers shoudn
be encouraged to become good farmers in the same way
Nobody doubts that the negro is in this country to
stay That being the the question presents itself
in what way he be aided in becoming a good and
valuable citizen? The question presents a hard rroh-
lem to solve and there many who are ready TO
offer solutions The solution that will come the near
est to being the right is that which will keen the
negro in the country If these farmers institutes for
which the negroes are asking will aid them in hecon
ing better farm aborers and better farmers thew ought
be helped in establishing them. And in the man
time the question Of spending the share of school
that to them in way that will helm them to
fit them for occupations that will afford them living
should be given very careful consideration.

Why Boys Get Away From the Farm.

why DOJS UCl AWAY FROM the Farm.
From the Utica IN. " Globe.
why do the boys leave the farm?"
walls writer in an agricultural Jour
nal
Well, dear brother, there are sew
eral reasons. One is because the boy
is not IS years old at his birth.
Then, if there is a hoe on the farm
weighing II ounces, bright as nickel
plate and sharp as d razor, and an
other hoe weighing somewhat less
than a breaking plow, with an edge
on it like hammer, and a sapling
with the bark on for a handle. the
hlred man takes one and the boy
gets the other. And any man in
America knows which is the other.
Did you ever stand with such a
noe in your hands away down in a
corn row on some airless, still. hot
summer day, 20 acres of corn blades
and tassels willing about you, stand
ing II inches higher than your head
Shuttlng out every last trace of
breathable air, and then hear a locust
down in the edge of the timber strike
up his long strident, monotonous call
to make it ten times hotter? And
all this time a cool creek not a mile
away, lettering in deep, silent pools
IN shady places in the woods, or
breaking into merry, dancing ripples
over the pebbles? And in the deep
holes the fish just lying around
waiting for boy? Well, then Won
know why some boys leave the farm.
Still boys can be kept on the farm
and made to stay there all their
lives. You drive a long spike
through a boys diaphragm and
through a live oak tree, and clinch
or bolt it on the other side, and then
saw off the boys legs and break his
back, and he will stay on the farm
Yes, there are some other ways, we
know but this is the only infallible
method.

ECONOMY ADVOCATED.

From the Savannah News
Governor Brown recommends that
instead of five members of the rail-
road commission there shall be three,
and instead of annual sessions of the
Legislature there shall be biennial
sessions. What reasons are there
against these recommendations?
We got along very we'll with a
railroad commission of three mem
bers, and it is certain that we could
get along with one session of the
Legislature every two years. Forty
of the forty-six states have biennial
or quadrennial sessions, and they find
they have all the laws they want, and
more than are enforced.
In the first place we have alto
gether too many laws. Many of them
are passed to crafty a small group
of individuals or to meet certain
local conditions which are only tenn
pOrary. These laws are forgotten
almost as soon as they are passed.
Still other laws are passed simply to
inform constituents that their rep
resentatives are doing something.
And all this law-making costs the
DtoIC 4llOhCy w lIlCl COulu ne spent
IN other ways to much better ad-
vantage.
1t is a difficult matter to get an
office abolished to which there is
compensation attached, but it is a
very easy thing to have a new office
created. Governor Brown will find
1T no easy matter to get his recon-
mendations cutting down expenses
adopted. Three good men on the
railroad commission would render
the state as good service as five, and
there is room in other directions for
cutting down the commissions ex-
penses. Economy, however, isn't
found in the dictionary of the aver
age politician. Salaried offices are
the things on which the politicians
thrive and fatten.

WIGGIE,
Macon TELEGRAPH.

From the Macon Telegraph
Nobody in Georgia ever took anv
stock in the alleged "desertion' of
six Georgia congressman last year.
at the beginning of the extra session
OF congress, except a few who have
interested themselves in the cause of
opposition candidates, or those op-
position candidates themselves. The
Savannah Press is one of the few
newspapers that have been trying to
make it appear that the six" con-
trlbuted to the passage of the tariff
Dill by refusing to vote for the Clark
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of the rules committee by the
house after the extra session had adj
Journed-an extra session called for
the purpose of revising the tariff.
How the Press flayed the six for
not coming to the aid of Champ Clark
IN his efforts to strangle the tariff
snake! And now, few days ago,
this same Champ Clark comes out in
card saying in language so strong
that 1t was almost impoIite that his
Georgia champions were all to the
bad in their valiant support of him
IN this particular. The Dublin Cour-
rier-Dispatch puts it strongly and
truly in this fashion:
In the name of common
sense how could the action of
these men have aided in the pas
sage of the tariff bill, when the
new rules would not have gone
into effect until the following
December, Or nine months after
being passed."
And five months after the tariff
Dill was passed and became a law.
AS the Courier-Dispatch puts it, all
that the champions of Champ and the
assailants of the Georgia "six" can
do now, since Champ has put the
crlmping iron to them, is to "wiggle."
