BewareofSneak akThieves

We have learned of number
Of cases where our good citizens
have been the victims of Sneak
Thieves. They seem to be abroad
in the land and it is necessary to
keep your valuables where they
cannot be stolen. Do not keep
money or other valuables in your
house for it is generally known
who is in the habit of doing their
banking business this way. 1t
is better to open a checking ac-
count with your home bank and
when you have need to pay
bill give a check for it. In this
way YOU never lose anything and
do not have to pay bill twice.
Never make a deal for any prop
erty without reducing it to writ
ing and the terms and conditions
named therein. 1t is only a
couple weeks ago that it cost
one of our Custer county ranch
ers the neat sum of $500 to learn
this lesson. To hold a man up
and get his money on account OF
not having witness to his tran
saction is as much a case OF
sneak thievery as the thief who
breaks into your house in your
absence and steals your money.
We know of several cases OF
both kinds that happened within
the last thirty days. We invite
each and every citizen to come
into our bank and deposit theil
money in checking account o.
on interest bearing certlhcate
and if they have valuable pap
ers, jewelry, heirlooms or othe
valuables that are more to yo'
than anybody else, to come Il
and rent one of our safety depos
it boxes and have them wher
neither fire nor thieves can ge
r to them. Call at our Banking
f office and inspect the system.

The bold insurgent will have
polled the principal chautauquas,
and will by that time have been
told how far discreet his balk
was, or if to follow his attack
with further demonstration, or
quietly to tip-toe back upon the
reservation.
The hopeful Democrat will
tool this way and that way train
ing, and hope to have US as a
rule have none of their explain
ing. He'll carefully trim up his
wicks and get his pump pulsat-
ing, and pass the grand stand
every six or seven seconds wait
ing.
There'll be some dust put up,
it seems, when this event gets
going. and some things starting
at the seams that wanted proper
sewing. No wonder Roosevelt
came back, and nowadays his
gun is rusting in the shooting
rack, when here is where the
fun is.

1t will not strike him, we're
afraid, as when the cold was
stinging, and up and down the
wind swept street the icicles
were clinging. There's nothing
like a dry parade, the shouts OF
Hallelullah, and the children
skillfully arrayed for what you
want to fool you.
It's very easy to forget there's
such thing as Summer. or such
quantity as sweat, what time
busy drummer is rub-a-dubbing
up the street a million bumps a
minute, and the line sweeps by
with rhythmic feet and the little

He preached about the same
old things that Teddy has been
preaching, and most of Rome's
wakenings resulted from his
teaching. He battled hotly for
the right, and valiantly imbued
it, and the stork could not at
tempt to light but what he up
and ShoOed it.
This was, however, one affair
to tell which is to tattie, and that
was where this Roman bear was
coming in from battle. He had.
of course, put everything oppos-
ing him to slumber, and Rome
awaited him to sing some lauda-
tory number.
But here the parallel desists.
Augustus said them, No, sir
and when he entered with his
lists it might have been the gro
Ger for all the greeting that he
got from that admiring chorus,
was not d bit like Theodorus.
But howsoever, when he died
the month that loves to grill Us
was being written far and wide
the season of Sextilus. They
wanted to commemorate the hot
time he presented the natlOr
with. any rate, so August wa:
invented.

OF August it may first be said,
its name is from Augustus, whom
men have likened unto Ted, per-
haps without injustice. He made
the world go round about as
many times a minute, and the
news was always dull without
the great Augustus in it.
He had his Ananias Club for
liars and for takers, and he low
ed to sail his little tub among
the Roman breakers. He count
ed peace a sort of plague, and
never did pursue it, but let it
rally at The Hague, and you
couldn't beat him to it.

In this connection, the word national stands
for population-the word federal, for state
units In the House of Representatives such
big States as Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New
York have delegations based on numbers; and
they therefore out-vote such small States as
Delaware and Georgia. In the Senate, how
ever, the state units are equal In representa-
ton, no matter how different In population
We Populists have always strongly favored
the Initiative and Referendum, but we
couldn't have it adopted nationally in such
way as to give Pennsylvania the power to
dictate to Georgia by mere weight of num-
bers. We could not allow the abolition of the
equality of the state units in the Senate
When the wise statesmen were framing our
Constitution of 1877 for the people of Geor-
gia they followed, as nearly as possible, the
mixed system already described. They gave
the greater power to the counties having the
largest population; but they recognized the
county unit, by putting limits to the prepor-
dero1ce Of the larger county over the smaller.
To some of the large counties they gave twice
as much power as was given to the smaller
counties; and to the largest counties was given
three times as much power as the smaller
counties enjoyed. But to the vastly greater
number of small counties (now about one
hundred and ffteen) no matter how small
they are, was allotted One-third of the power
granted to the larger counties, no matter how
large they may become.
Now, since Legislative p0o0er qUas 0ppor-
toned in this way, it was natural that p0ziti-
cal p0aOer should have been divided in the
same manner. Consequently, the Democratic
party adopted the policy of allowing the
small counties to have in nominating conven-
tons, twice the vote that they had in the
Legislature. That was the practice for thirty
one years, before any effort was made to
change it.
In 1908 the Hoke Smith Executive Com
mittee proposed new rule, providing that
whoever got a ma jority vote in the primary
should be the nominee for Governor. mas
much as such nomination is equivalent to
an election the new rule meant that such
county as Fulton might exercise twenty or
thirty times as much power as Glascock,
Toombs, Jenkins, McDuffe, or Taliaferro.
Now, it is true that the Constitution of
1877 declares that Governor should be elect
ed by majority vote; but it is to be con-
clusively presumed that the politicians and
statesmen who framed that instrument had in
mind orr system Of making nominations, pre-
ceding the election. Ever since George Wash
ington left the Presidency, it has been the in
variable custom to nominate candidates for
political office; and it cannot be successfully
claimed that the Constitution of 1877 means
that nomination must be made by MAORI
ty vote of all the people, regardless Of county

The Importance of the
County Unit Plan

LOST people are apt to forget that our
I'M system of government is not pure
AVA democracy. Wherever the mere nu-
Ezzza merical preponderance has been al
IS5S8 lowed to control, mob-rule resulted,
IESS8 and the State fell into chaos. 1t was
--~--l the Athenian mob that put an end to
'the glory that was Greece. 1t was the Ro-
man mob that compelled Caesar to found the
Empire. The evanescent municipal republics
of the Middle Ages travelled the same road
to ruin. Consequently our forefathers adopt
ed a system which is partly national and
partly federal.

IfSSS3 received a telegram from Savan-
nah, in which you were informed
that your wife had been taken suddenly and
seriously sick? Did you fail to get away be-
cause of wreck on the road; and did you
then 60 back and begin your TRADE against
Watson to a crowd of less than hundred
people?
You don't seem to be able to tell the truth
about anything One of the men who heard
your statement about that telegram, suspected
that you were lying. He made an investiga-
ton, and found that you had not received
either telegram or telephone message You
intended to run out of disagreeable situa-
ton, and you invented the story about the
telegram to cover your flight. We have
caught Lon Livingston in tricks like that, and
you seem to have borrowed the idea from the
Fanny Allen man.
WHY did you have the negro, F. r. Abner,
appointed census enumerator? Under date of
January 30, 1910, you wrote to Mr.. Frank x.
Douglas, Savannah, Ga, supervisor for your
district, letter in which you said that he
would greatly oblige you if he would kindly
appoint Mr.. F. r. Abner, of Waynesboro, one
of the enumerators for Burke County. [ can
understand how you might have received an
application from a negro, whom you didn't
know to be such, and whom you might recon-
mend because of your belief that he was a
white man. But in this case you made use of
this language: "He is very fine man, and
well fitted for the position" Do you say that
about men whom you don't know? What
sort of conscience have you got if you vouch
for So-and-so as "a very fine man and we'll
fitted" for the office, when you don't even
know whether it's a negro or white man that
you're talking about? Or, was it another case
of your duplicity where you knowingly
sought to have negro appointed, after pre-
tending that you opposed black appontees?
INSTEAD OF buying up an assorted lot OF lit
tie pin-he editors throughout your district
wouldn't it not be more to your credit it you
heightened up that $4,000 matter at the
country bank where you got the cashier into
trouble? Or, has the exposure of your con-
duct in regard to that transaction forced you
to do the right thing about it?
WHAT made you tell your little crowd that
falsehood about my trying to sell out the
Farmers Union to Dan Sully? You got that

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

My little son, a boy of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time l was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was so bad that l had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint
ment on him on %bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He al n mass OF
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them it used
to take the skin off with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. l began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint'
ment | began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the
treatment. Now I a say that he Is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,
