REDIsTRICTING THE STATE.

From the Fitzgerald Enterprise.
The Dawson News says that it is
getting time for South Georgia 10
demand her rights, and should have
the new congressional district
OF course it is impossible to give
the new district to any particular
section of the state. 1t is simply a
matter of the size of the districts
measured by the population of each.
Twelve districts as suggested by
Representative Vinson of Baldwin
county exhibits that partiality re-
ferred to by The News. The map and
tables show that the proposed North
Georgia districts are slightly smaller
than the South Georgia districts in
point OF population, whereas reason
would suggest that the districts with
minimum of population should be
located in that section of the state
showing the greatest growth by the
last census.
As mapped out by Mr.. Vinson the
Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth
and Ninth districts are in the north
arn half of the state, and he names
counties aggregating a population of
$4,000, $4,000, $4,000, 211,OO0,
zI5,OOO and 1000 respectively.
In the southern half of the state as
laid out are the First, Second, Third.
Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth dis
tricts, which show $4,000, 224,OOO.
222, 900, $4,000, 218,O0O and 216.-
600 respectively.
II Mr.. Vinson will start with the
Seventh or Ninth districts and add
county from an adjoining district
and come on down the state with that
process so as to increase the popula-
ton OF the six North Georgia districts
ana CORRESPONDENCE decrease the
population of the South Georgia dis
trlcts his general scheme would be
more acceptable, or at least more
reasonable or equitable.
BY adding Douglass to the Seventh
that district would be brought I'D to
$4,000, and by adding Harris to the
Fourth that district would he
brought up to $4,000. By adding
Clay to the Twelfth the Second and
twelfth would become balanced with
1000 for the Second. By adding
stephens to the Ninth that would he
brought up to 223, 1000, and bv giving
Greene to the Eighth 1T would he
brought up to $4,000, but wouId
reduce the Sixth to $4,000. which
could be remedied by adding Twiggs
and Crawford; then by swapping Ter
reII for Webster the Twelfth couId
be restored, which would leave tha
I 1IIrd entitled to Coffee and the
Eleventh entitled to Mcintosh.
'Ihe main object should be to re-
duce the rapidly growing districts
TO the minimum and correspondence
increase the hill districts.

HIGHER PRICES FOR COTTON.

Mr.. John L. Griffith, the United
States consul at London, in a recent
report on the cotton situation indi-
Gates that the price of the Souths
great staple will be even higher this
year than it was last season.
The number of cotton spindles in
the world, he says, is estimated at
1875, 100000, which is an increase of
at least 20,O0O,O00 spindles since
1907. During the past ten years
there has been an increase of 49,
100000 spindles in the United King
dom, 100000 spindles in continent
al Europe, and 1,155, 900 spindles in
India. The increase in the United
States for the same period is esti-
mated at about the same number as
in the United Kingdom. The annual
potential consuming capacity of the
worlds spindles, if running on full
time, is placed at 22,50O,000 bales of
500 pounds. In 19O8-09 there were
100000 less spindles and a con-
sumption of about 19,500,000 bales.
The production that year was prac-
ticaIly the same as the consumption.
In the following year, however, the
production of cotton fell off by about
100000 bales, while the present
season of 1901 can hardly produce
100000 bales in excess of the pre-
ceding season, which would be A.
100000 bales less than the potential
consumption. 1t is evident from this
situation that there is shortage in
the supply of raw material, which re-
suits in increased prices. Although
the average price of cotton during
1909-1O was the highest for twenty
five years it is thoughtethat the aver
age price for 1910-11 will be at least
two cents per pound more.
All of which, if it pans out that
way, will mean fat pocketbooks for
the farmers of Southwest Georgia.

\ POLITE MAN.

The true Boston man never forgets
that he is a gentleman-or ought to
be-and he acts the part on all occa-
sions.
Prof. S. 9. Curry is proud to call
Boston his home, and now that lit
tie experience of his in st. Louis has
been telegraphed all over the world
Boston is proud to own him as one
of its most gentlemanly sons. The
professor was crossing the street in
the Missouri metropolis recently,
when he was struck by the fender of
a trolley car. He was knocked down,
bruised and lacerated and his clothes
were ruined He struggled to his
feet, brushed off some of the dirt
and then in his most Chesterfeldian
manner apologized to the motOrman
and conductor for delaying the traf-
fic, assuring them of his imperishable
regard and declaring that the fault
was all his own.
The citizens of Boston wanted to
give a public reception in his honor
when he returned home, but the pro-
fessor declined with thanks, as he
had to hurry away again to fill an
other lecture engagement.

RIDING A FREE HORSE.

The various schools and colleges
of Georgia have the free-advertis-
ing working game down to a fine
point. They plan and figure and
conjure schemes which will pass as
news items, and yet in them they
hide a nice little ad for their spe-
cial school. The Enterprise is very
generous with the schools, but it
looks like we will have to draw the
line, so constant are the calls upon
US for space-Telfair Enterprise.
Notwithstanding that many Of
these institutions receive liberal ap-
preparations from the state for their
support and all of them charge big
prices for tuition and everything
else they receive, no matter how
small, those in control of them do MOI
hesitate to ask the newspapers tC
print free long articles advertising
their advantages. Almost every mai
brings The News a request of this
kind, and it invariably finds it way
into the waste basket. 1t is time fol
the universities and schools to qui
being beggars and pay for what the!
get just as they require Of others.

A SHAMEFUL AFFAIR.

There seems to be no doubt that
the responsibility for the double
lynching in Walton county a few days
ago is upon Judge Brand of the SUI
perior court of that circuit by reason
of his knowledge of the infamed
mind of the people and failure to call
on the governor to send the militia
to keep order. If we remember cor
rectly troops were recently sent to
Walton county to protect one OF
these same negroes from a mob, and
at that time Judge Brand was dispos-
ed to disclaim any responsibility for
their presence, which seemed to be
resented by some of the people there
The double lynching last week was
a shameful affair, and we can readily
believe that the really good citizens
of Walton county had neither par
or sympathy in it. If the perpetrat.
Ors are properly punished such ar
outcome will be to the everlasting
credit of Walton county.

THE EX-GOVERNOR.

In his last message to the legisla-
ture Governor Brown more than sus-
tains his reputation as one who can
present his ideas forcefully and en-
tertainingly. 1t is clear-cut, lucid and
strong, and has been commented up
on as such by the papers OF the
state regardless of their political al
f1liations.
Governor Brown has given to the
people of Georgia an administration
which will go down in history as one
of the abIest, most conservative and
constructive which the people have
lived under in it's entire history. He
has not heralded his actions with
drums and flies, neither has he play
ed for popular favor by resorting to
issues or measures calculated to
catch the fancy of the citizens who
may be interested in so far as per-
sonal interest goes. His record
speaks for itself, and he retires from
office with the consciousness Of
knowing that his duty has been done
and done we'll The policies he
has advocated and stood for were for
the best interests of the state; con-
structive to the core, and sound bus
mess propositions. He is essentially
man of the people, patriotic, wise
and incorruptible, and no man ever
went out of office with cleaner rec
ord a fact that is growing and will
continue to grow ON the people.

THE ELIMINATION
OF THE SPEAKER.

From the Augusta Chronicle.
The extra session of congress has
been notable for the elimination of
the erstwhile dominating figure of
the speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives. Except as a good humorist
and prospective candidate for the
nomination to the office of president
we have heard little of Champ Clark,
who occupies that chair. Officially
he has ranked in the news as one to
ten compared with his former promi-
hence as minority leader.
Nobody has been cursing the pre-
siding officer. He has not been lik-
ened to the car of Russia a single
time. No one has thought of accus-
ing him of running things. He has
come IN for no special praise, for
when there is no criticism telling
commentator rarely is made.
Will Irwin once interviewed Gin
gy" Connors. AS he was getting
ready to leave the spectacular Buff
falo politician asked:
Young man, what are you 60
ing to write about me?"
Really, Mr.. Connors, I wouldn't
like to say in advance what l NAV
write"
Look here, young man; let me
tell you, I don't care a - what
you write. All want is that YOU
write something"
And Champ Clark, we would fain
to say, is pining longingly for some
OF the old-time swipes which used to
Keep him in public view before his
elevation to position that appears
to have been reduced to the condition
of an autOmaton.
IhlS new condition is due to the
reform in rules made at the begin
ming OF the present congress. Prac-
tlcaIIy all the speaker seems to he
doing is to transmit the rulings of
MS parliamentary clerk to the house
and occasionally relieve the monoto-
ny with bits of rather Indifferent hu-
NOR.
But the debasement of the sneak
ersh1p has not eliminated the necessi-
" Tor some domineering figure being
at the helm. The new rules have
merely shifted the situation. Instead
OF the speaker being able to RIM
Things the great power once exercised
by the chair direct is welded bv the
chairman of the ways and means
committee, who is the leader or the
majority and almost dictator of the
house.

THE FLY HAS FRIENDS.

FROM the Savannah Press.
Just to show the instructive chiva1-
ry IN human nature we desire to as
sure our readers that even the de-
splsed and abused house f1y has its
friends and champions. AbOut a sea-
son or two ago there was such a fin
Iore OF hatred and fear of this deadly
little insect as never was before. We
were stimulated and exhorted to q
most unqualified and impIacable en-
NIFTY Tor this Wretched little creature
and were warned and worked mn
against it in every conceivable wav
Then out of sheer exhaustion nor
maps, our hearts and minds were al
lowed little rest, and now the reac-
ZION mas set in and the poor little
ny is brought forward again as a
martyr. A writer in Popular Mechan-
les stems the current of popular SEN
Clment and presents the "other side
OF the hy question" The bold cham
plon OF the despised foe does not at
tempt TO deny that the fly carries
uISease germs with him, but the iv

Inc writer compares the fly to our
children, and Sassures us that if wo
should find bacilli on our children
we would not be so unfair as tn av-
terminate our children. but we would
go 10 work to find out where orr
children got these ugly COMPANIONS
and would then clean I'D the snote
from which they were gathered This
IS sympathetic and also logical. The
ny deserves compassion and Justice,
ana after all does he not bring. AZ

warning of its breeding places? Whv
should we simply swat the fly when
our DUTY is to purify and perfect him
lie is doing his best to lead an hon
est life, and he can even be made uen-
full to us by leading us to our real
enemy. The writer thinks that if
we should succeed in exterminating
Ihe ny retribution would probably
tall upon us in the form of malignant
and biting flies, or even some terrible
insects OF which we at present know
not.
Then let us be warned in time and
let kindly practice guide us. If it is
not yet practical to teach orr flies
TO scrape their feet on antisentic
door mats before coming into orr
homes we may at least get to work
and clean up the sources from which
they supply us with typhoid and 9th

OF WHAT USE 1T?

In his. message Governor Brown
made strong presentation of the
necessity of shifting from the gov
ernor some of the work attached to
the pardoning power. While he was
in Office a very considerable part
of his time was occupied in hear
ing applications for pardons. The
fact that the pardon board hears
these applications and makes recon-
mendations in regard to them doesn't
seem to lessen the governors bur
den, which leads to the query, OF
what use is the pardon board and
why should it not be abolished and
the money that is spent maintaining
it be saved to the state?
The legislature can render the PEG.
pie more valuable service by abolish.
ing some of the present offices in.
stead of creating new ones.

GENERAL CLEMENT a. EVANS.

Thousands of hearts throughout
Georgia and the South have been
saddened by the death of General
Clement A. Evans, which occurred
at his home in Atlanta at 4:40 O'Clock
Sunday afternoon. The interment
will take place from the First Metho-
dist church in that city today and
will be attended by people in all the
walks of life, among them many Of
his old comrades, who loved the
grand old hero for his noble quail
ties of soul and mind.
General Evans was rs years of
age and during his long and event
full life served his people well and
devotedly as soldier, minister of the
gospel and public official, and made
a place for himself in the history of
his state and in the hearts of his fell
low citizens.
Peaceful be his rest.

GOVERNOR. BROWN ADDRESSES
FAREWELL CARD TO THE PEOPLE
Every He

in this hour; but there are two things
upon which l will pass a word, viz:
the enforcement of the laws and the
education of our youth.
1T has been said that the shadow
of Rome was in every ancient house.
So let it be said that the shadow of
the laws of Georgia is in every home
in her borders. That shadow means
protection to all who do the right,
but penalty to those who violate the
laws
And since it may be asserted that
in Georgia from the cottage go the
orders to the palace it is of vital need
that the cottage be the abode of
equipped intelligence.
"As | today step up into the ranks
receive me az one who loves his fell
low men, as one who, grateful for
past favors, stands ready to cooper
ate with all who would labor for the
common veal in those things which
tend to virtue, truth and peace. Your
fellow citizen, JOS. M. BROWN.
