Option Candidate Prohibition.
ATLANTA.-Recent campaign
spaeches in the race for governor
have brought to light a strange stu
alton which exists at the present
time.
Judge Russell, who is running on
local option platform, has always
been a friend of prohibition, it is
stated, publicly, says he would like
TO see it everywhere, and his record
is OF the sort that would please the
"drys."
Pope Brown, who is running on a
prohibition platform that favors not
only keeping the present laws in
force but Strengthening them, has
ID 20 this time been opposed to pro-
hibition.
These points have been brought
out several times already in the
course Of the campaign by Joe Brown
speakers.
1t is pointed out by Barlow Will
Hngham in a card recently published
that only lately-in this campaign
in fact-has Pope Brown become a
dry champion.
As q member of the legislature in
the rineties Mr.. Willingham intro
duced a bill in the house, which was
passed, but rejected by the senate,
a bill fayoring prohibition. Pope
Brown opposed it, he says. A few
years later another bill was intro
ducad, which Mr.. Willingham states
had a splendid chance of passage, and
probably would have had Pope
Brown been willing to speak word
which would have brought over to
\ the dry side a senator and two rep
reseDtatiyes from Pulaski county.
The word was refused.
Mr. Willtnghap points out that
= on another occasion when Bob Ber-
ner was running for governor and
had a dry plank in his platform Pope
Brown Jumped over this plank to
land on the local option platform of
Allen Gambler, and did the same
thing again when Dupont Query
was running as a prohibition candi-
date, Mr. Brown then supporting
COL J. H. Estill, local option candi-
date
Recently leading prohibitionists
have announced for former Gov. Jos.
N. Brown. and every day sees new
accessi0ns to his ranks from these
same sources. Barlow Willingham

lanta, one time president of the Anti

FARMERS TO BURN CORN.
Decayed Crop in Illinois Will Cut
Down Coal Bill.

Down Coal Bill.
A dispatch from Mattoon, Ill, says
farmers throughout the Illinois corn
belt, although facing heavy loss on
account of the large amount of grain
that rotted in the fields due to ex-
cessive rain, have determined to re-
coup part of their loss by not patron
izing the coal dealer as they other
wise would. They will use the de-
cayed corn for fuel during the winter
months@ 1t is said the amount of
corn left in the fields is the largest
in the history of Illinois.

is official. The total for the Southern
army is the usual estimate given by
Southern historians in the absence of
complete preserved records of enlist
ments. That it is approximately cor
rect is indicated by the fact that the
eleven states of the confederacy had
a white population of little more
than five millions, including old men,
women, children exempted owners
of twenty or more slaves, exempted
overseers, magistrates, etc., and a
larger disaffected or unaggressive
tory element, even outside of east
ern Tennessee and West Virginia,
than is generally supposed.
These are the first exact figures

California Women and
the JQpS

Women has not the right to vote,
but she retains the privilege made
historic by Helen of Troy, to raise
rumpus in the church society or to
start a war between nations.
If she wishes to follow a certain
course she is going to follow it, and
all the government in the world can
not forbid her. In Pasadena Cal,
she exercises her immemorial right
to go to a society affair or to stay
at home, to dance with whom she
chooses and when she chooses.
In a recent instance she chose not
to mingle on terms of social equality
with the Japanese, and she did not
do it, sublimely Indifferent to what
Uncle Sam or anybody else thought
about it and regardless Of strained
relations and even possible war with
Japan. She did not like the idea Of
going to ball given in honor of the
Japanese officers aboard Nippon's
battleship anchored in the harbor,
and that was all there was to it. No
body could make her go and nobody
was foolish enough to try to make
her
In our humble opinion the women
of Pasadena, Cal, were right and
their failure to consider the conse-
quences evidence of a spirit all too
uncommon. The Japanese are a pow
erful people, bat they are not our
people. Union between the whites
and the Mongolians is unthinkable,
and this without regard to which
race is the superior. If social union
cannot be tolerated, any special COM
munion that might tend to that con-
summation is wrong.
1t is the old race question which
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-01-19

we Of the South have been wrestling
with for years, and which We have to
a certain extent settled. We have de-
cided, if the decision was not made
for us by nature that social equal, ity
that Conditions hav W arisen e n t5 force eae
the people of another great section
of the country to see things as we see
them. We do not imagine that war
will come Of the Pasadena incident
but if war is necessary to maintain
the integrity of the white race in
America, then war will have to come.

not make eggs unless they are sup
piled with certain necessary elements
for egg making.
Chickens should be given an extra
allowance of corn at night, for corn
furnishes heat to the body, as it is
slow to digest. For comfort during
winter the crop should be kept prac-
tically full during the entire night
An essential in the hens comfort
in cold weather is a floor where no
sdraftA are felt. While you are re-
pairing the chicken house, bank 1t up
we'll on the outside, and if the floor
is of earth, make sure to have it
higher inside than the ground with
out.
Fowls left to shift for themselves
generally shift the responsibility for
filling the egg basket when eggs are
high priced.
Amateurs should start out with
small focks, using only one breed of
fowls. These should receive their
constant attention and care. The
chickens must be regularly fed and
watered, their houses and nests must
be kept clean, otherwise they will die
from disease.
A pure bred male in the poultry
yard pays for himself just the same
as any other pure bred stock on the
farm.
When turkeys are dropping and
seem to be lacking life, get some
meat scrap for them, or blood meal
and feed in the mash daily a tea
spoonful of this for each turkey. An
other remedy is to place in the mash
for each turkey, soda hyposulphite
in a quantity about the size Of a
large pea.
Plenty of meat scraps and cut
green bone must be fed to the lay
ing hens from now until they are on
full range next spring.
One of the best mediums through
which disease passes from one fowl
to another is the drink dish. On that
account it should be thoroughly dis
infected by scalding with boiling
water every day or every other day
When there are two pens of fowls
in the same house, separated by a
partition, the drink dish may be set
in the partition so that fowls may
drink from both sides. 1t should rest
on q shelf so that it may be easily
removed for cleaning and disinfect-
ing.
When hens are kept to produce
table eggs only, it is better not to
have a male in the flock; for in such
cases he is merely disturbing ele-

sent each a like number. Thus the lowest
order had share in the Initiative and they
had absolute control of the Referendum.
Moreover, any citizen whosover, could at
any time bring any offender, public or private,
before the popular assembly, and have any
alleged breach of law passed upon by the
people.
Thus, you see, the humblest man in the
State could compel the proudest to come be-
fore the mass meeting of the people and give
an account of himself
III practice, this probably amounted to the
same thing as would be accomplished by what
is now known as the Imperative Mandate and
Right Of Rec0U
Such was Solon's idea of democracy, $500
years ago. We have so far lost our knowl-
edge of what self-govemment is, that in 1892,
the Democratic Chairman of the Judiciary
Committee turned to me in the House of
Representatives and asked, "IVatS0n. 2vhat IN
the hell does Y0u1' party mean By this here
In5t10tiue and Referenduna?"
BY giving to the popular assembly the right
to pass on the conduct Of citizens, to pass on
the decisions of Judges, democracy was made
supreme.
The people ruled themselves IN fact as we'll
as theory.

High-rolling rascals were brought to taw

river Night overlook us, on the other side,
and we were late in reaching Kings ferry,
over ST. Mary's. 1t was about eight o'clock,
Central time, and we were tired and hungry.
The postmaster at the ferry was kind enough
to pilot us out of the village. "Follow the
telephone poles" he shouted as a parting
direction.
We tried our best to do as he told us;
but we fell into unexpected harassments. Our
front lights ocent out. We discovered that an
old empty gastank had been put off on us
instead of one newly charged, as we had or
dered.
There was choice of evils:
CD To stop there in the road, until day
break; or
(2) Take off the side lights, hold them aloft,
and travel on slowly until something hap
pened.
We rejected instantly the first proposition,
and promptly put the second into effect. 1t
was a sparsely settled region, else we might
have been shot at by inquisitive inhabitants,
who wanted to know what it was that was
going around in that unearthly fashion. For,
Mac held one of the side-lights on high, and
Mr.. Lee the other; and nobody on ahead could
have possibly guessed what sort of varmint
was coming down the Big Road. To shoot
first, and investigate later, would have been
truly rural. Luckily, no one was travelling

but us; and evey house was closed-what few
there were.
After ever so long a time, we came up be-
hind dismal looking cottage, and stopped
the car just before running into pile Of tim
Der. We called lusty "HelIo" and a man
came out. He put new heart into us, by tell
ing us that we were on the right road We
bought a lantern and bottle of kerosene oil
from him; and he put us into the road to Dial.
He warned us that, in about mile. we
should come to where a landowner had been
making some improvements; and that road,
there, would puzzle us, as it did other mo-
florists but he added, confidently, that ne could
find the way out of this puzzle, as all the other
motorists did
Mercy on us! Why didn't we hire the man
to 90 this mile with us, and steer us through
the puzzle? BY improvements" I thought
the man meant buildings; therefore when we
came to some deeply plowed and smoothly
narrowed ground, it never once occurred to
me that we had reached the improvements"
and were in the midst of the puzzle.
Surely that plowed field can't be the public
road, we thought; and we got out of it as soon
as we could. But where a0as the road? We
hunted for it, back of us, and on both sides
of u.s. We hunted for it singly and in squads.
Neither singly, nor in squads, could we find
it. The telephone poles had mysteriously dis

which shocked gods and men without running
against the wrath of an outraged people
Scion effected another great reform.
He found his country brutalized bv the
bloody Code of Draco. The punishment of
death was inflicted with frightful facility
Even 2dIencS8 was punished with DEATH
In fact, Athens was about as barbarous as
the England of two hundred years ago, when
more than one hundred crimes were punish
able by death.
One of these crimes was the shooting of
wild animals, game, in nobleman's park
Another was the cutting down of tree there
IN. Another was the larceny Of linen from
bleach field
Scion did for Athens what Samuel Romillv
and Henry Brougham did for England
humanized it's criminal laws and thus hui
manized the people.
Yet another reform this great Democrat ac-
complished.
He found the finance in the control of the
few, these greedy seekers of gain had 50 fixed
the laws that in the race of life the poor man
had no chance against the rich. The laws all
favored the creditor class. The debtor class
was kept under the wheels. The situation had
become so bad that a revolution was about to
break out.
The masses of the people will endure great
deal-are wonderfully patient under tyranny
and robbery when the tvrant and the robber

trate of his people.
So great was the esteem in which he was
held, that he could have become king, could
have founded a dynasty, perhaps; and thus
handed down to his descendants the power
which the people had entrusted to him.
Instead of this, he thought only of the pub
lie welfare. He was so much of man, so
clear In his ideas of true glory, true nobility,
real worth, that he counted as nothing the &C
emulation of money and the holding of office.
Therefore, when Scion, as law-giver of
Athens, had reformed the abuses of which the
people complained; had broken up the monop-
oily of wealth and power which the few had
grasped for themselves; had put back into the
hands of the people the reins of government,
he went away into foreign lands, leaving
Athens free.
How did Scion restore democracy to the
people of his country?
In our day, we call this the Referendun'
and the average Congressman and Judge will
ask somebody what is meant by Referendum?
The Initi0tioe in legislation, Scion vested
in Council of State, to which the lowest
order of citizens had the right to send one
hundred delegates. The other three orders
