A FOLDER OF EALHTIES.

THERE could be no surer evidence of the
weakness of Congressman Underwood as a
candidate for the presidential nomination
than the deceitful and desperate methods employed
in his behalf by the Interests that are supporting
him in Georgia
Their campaign has been series of shams and
falsities, continual game to hoax the state into
voting for man who they. themselves, know can
not be nominated and who has been put into the
race merely to further the ends of political ring
They cannot offer the Democracy of Georgia one
valid reason for sacrificing it's influence in the ma
tional convention to purely puppet candidate.
Wherefore, as their only resort, they have pro-
ceeded to manufacture all manner of ridiculous
charges against Woodrow Wilson, and equally un-
founded claims in behalf of Mr.. Underwood
Their latest trick of this character is embodied
in four-page, anonymous folder, some fifty thou
sand copies of which they have scattered through
rural districts in an effort to decoy the farmers of
Georgia into their political trap In glancing over
this remarkable document, one is at a loss whether
to be more amazed at the sheer fasity OF the state
ents It contains or at the folly of those who have
perpetrated it in thinking that it could deceive any
intelligent and reasonably weILinformed citizen

clares that the latter has failed to vote the
Democratic ticket but that in 1908 Governor Wilson
did not support the party's national nominee
This charge is without shadow OF foundation.
On divers occasions within recent months Governor
Wilson has openly declared that he did support the
Democratic nominee. Earlier in the year on his visit
to Kansas a farmer approached him in the hotel
lobby and asked pointedly Governor there's just one
thing the boys out our way want to know, and that
is did YOU vote for Bryan in 1sOs?" Without divinng

wired him for an authoritative public statement on
this same matter and he telegraphed back L did

this issue was settled and forgotten long ago. and not
even the foes of Wilson, who have any respect for
the publics intelligence, trying to continue or
revive It. Yet we find the Interests back of Under

some pretext on which to base their groundless
cause, endeavoring to palm OF upon the farmers Of
the state this motheaten scrap of campaign SANDER
Is this the school Of politics in which Georgians
wish to enroll?
Is a candidacy planted upon such methods worthy
of their consideration?

The charge to which we have just referred is
fair sample of all the other statements contained in
this folder of fiction sent out by the Underwood in
terests 1t asserts for example, that Congressman
Underwood is due credit for the Democratic bill
which proposes to abolish the tariff on sugar, a
measure calculated to the American people
some fifty million dollars year. A more preposter-
Gus claim was never made!
Congressman Underwood, the records show,
fought the free sugar bill in the committee until he
was forced to yield to the will of the Democratic
majority and had the matter been left to him no
such measure would have been presented to the
house On this question, there is no room for doubt
or debate. 1t is simply matter Of record Every
. Democrat in congress knows that to Mr. Hardwick,
of Georgia belongs chief credit for the final recon!
mendation of the free sugar bill. He worked per-
sistently (and against the influence of Mr. Under
wood himsef) to favorable committee report
on the adjustment of the tariff and Represen-
tative Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio Republican,
and an opponent of the bill. declared the floor of
the house, by way of comment: "Hardwick ran
over the gentleman from Alabama" To be sure,
Mr. Underwood finally acceded to the wishes of the
majority of the members of the committee and
Joined in recommending the BILL but when the real
fight was on when the chances of this vital measure
hung in the balance, Mr.. Underwood was its most
notable opponent Pernaps, from MS own point Oh
view he justified his opposition, but the fact re-
mains that he stood out long he could against

The Truth About the Fly.
The bulletin does not mince words.
1t is not mice" Neither is the fly,
and it tells the truth about them. In
part the appeal to make war on the
insects says:
Typhoid fever is caused by taking
into the mouth the discharges of some
previous case and in no other way.
The disease is often spread by flies
and fingers. The common house fly
breeds largely in horse manure but
it may be found multiplying in all
kinds of filth. Their tastes are in
delicate and omnivorous. They sub
sist on sputum, excreta and decaying
animal matter. This tiny harbinger
of death not only breeds in filth but
lives in and carries filth on it's body.
1t is one of the most prolific of
insects, as is shown by the fact that
one fly lays about 120 eggs at time
and from this number would arise a
progeny of millions during any one
season.
at is an indisputable fact that
flies carry the germs of disease. This
has been most conclusively shown by
number of investigators, the most
notable observations being made dur
ing the Spanish-American war. In
the report of DR.. Vaughan, a member
of the United States Army, typhoid
commission of 1898, are found the fol-
lowing statements:
"(a) Flies swarmed over infect
ed fecal matter in the pits and then
visited and fed upon the food prepar-
ed for the soldiers in the mess tents.
In some instances where lime had re-
Gently been sprinkled over the con

Montgomery, July 10.--If the railroad commission has power to reduce the pas senger rate in Alabama, 1t will be done Monday. The commission has cited the Louisville and Nashville Railroad com pany to show cause why the board should not set reasonable rate for the state.
