What's Wrong with the
 Post Office?

A Washington newspaper says the prohibitionists have saved $1z, ,ooo in postage stamps by distributing their literature under the frank of Representative Hobson of Alabama. No wonder that, with campaign bureaus and lobbyists thus engaged in using the mails without reim- bursting the government, the Postmaster General is sitting up nights wondering why he can't make the Post Office books show better evidence of business management.

The Homestead Bill

The three-year homestead bill has finally won the mas tery in Congress, and is a great victory for western Sen ators and Members who have fought tooth and nail for its passage. Western Members are insistent that the Depart ment of the Interior must give more substantial acknowledg- ment of the inherent rights of homesteaders, and unless more liberal treatment IS accorded these people, who have gone upon the government lands, there is liable to be an explo- sion that will express the po- pular disapproval and feeling equal to to that in the famous Ballinger case. It is pointed out that homesteaders every where are being subjected to great hardships through need- less delays in issuing patents, and by reason of expensive contests worked up by the agents of the Land Office.

Last week man stepped up to us and said he would pay us every cent he owed us if he lived till Saturday night We presume the man died Another man said he would pay us in day or two as sure as we were born. Query: Did the man lie or were we never born? Another sad he would settle as sure as shooting We presume that shooting is very uncertain. Another man said he hoped to go to the devil if he did not pay us within three days Haven't seen him since; suppose that he has gone, but trust he did not hope in vain. Quite a number said they would see us tomorrow. They must have been stricken blind, or tomorrow has not come One man told us six months ago that he would pay as soon as he got some money.
 The man would not lie, of course he has not got a cent since.

"What is a home without d paper?" A home without a newspaper is no home at all. It is a kind of dreary den where the inhabitants live in blissful ignorance of what the world is doing. It is inhabited by a class who do pot know who is president or what he is president of-who never find out that a thing has happened until long after everyone else has forgotten it. The children grow up in rags and dirt, while the wife generally finds consolation in darning socks and lugging a pipe loaded with long green, green tobac- co, and the man generally lives because he can't die and he is too lazy to kill himself. He goes out on election days, and does not know who he is voting for, but just takes the ticket bearing the name his great-great grandfather voted for.

OUTLINE OF
CANDIDACY
BY Mr.. SHIPP
IN RACE Fer COMMISSIONER
Announces General Principles
Of Race

| Asked by a TimeS-Recorder rep
esentative as to the principles upon
which he will base his platform in
his candidacy for Railroad Commits
sion, and the status of affairs as con
Germ this campaign, Col. Charles Jack
son Ship said:
Il am feeling very hopeful. | am
receiving letters from all over the
state, among them a large number OF
people who recognize tae need OF South
Ceorgia's being represented on the
Railroad Commission board.
South Georgia needs more rail-
! roads and needs them badly Just a
few years ago the greater part of
i South Georgia was waste lands. After
the building of a few railroads, she
began to develop, and is now the rich
est section of the state.
! But we haven't more than one
fourth of the railroads that we need in
! this section. Railroad building would
be carried on more extensively if it
were not for the fact that it usually
takes about twenty years to make
these roads a paying investment.
81 think that the railroad commits
sion ought to be very liberal with all
new railroads and should so regulate
their rates as to allow them to make
sufficient money from the beginning TO
pay good wages to their employees
and also, to pay some dividend on the
investment of capital stock.
"The thing which has retarded rail-
road building is demagoguism in pol
itics, or politicians seeking popularity
by fighting the railroads. | believe
that the railroads should be treated
justly; and | believe that there is
enough honesty among the people to
give the railroads a square deal, if the
facts are properly presented to them,
The Georgian who is an enemy 10
the railroad is not a patriot; | am
old enough to have observed the wide
difference in education, culture, relig-
ious influence, refinement and all Of
the elegances which go to make up a
| great civilization, since the railroads
have developed our section | feel that
! would be untrue to myself and fellow
| Georgians if were an enemy to these
! advantages.
81 believe that the railroads should
he properly regulated, but not put out
of business.
Il am in favor of the newspaper
man having the right to exchange
space for railroad transportation with
out regard to whom this transporta-
ton is used by; if the newspaper man
wants to swap a railroad ticket to his
groceryman for a side of bacon, he
should have the right to do it, as he
has paid for it in space, which is his
stock in trade and is as valuable as
money.
The rates in South Georgia, as
rule have been made up of specia
ates, and are unsatisfactory both tt
the public and the railroads. Thes,
should be looked after and satisfac
torily arranged, and as | am the onl,
candidate from South Georgia and q
elected will be the only member of the
board from this section shall use
my best efforts in the adjustment Q
