To the Voters of the Third Con-
gressional District: AS citizens Of
Terrell county, feeling an interest in
and successful outcome of the eff
forts of our fellow citizen, the Hon.
John R. Mercer, to become member
of Congress from this district, and
believing that certain statements be-
ing made by one of his opponents
are sinister in character as well as
misleading, we have determined to
give to the voters of the district the
estimate placed upon him by his peo-
pie at home. We notice in a recent
issue of Mr.. Shaw's Southwest Geor-
gian that he has an article headed,
who Is the MANI" He undertakes
in this article to minimize each of
his opponents and to produce the
impression that he has indeed done
great things for the dear common
people," He tells you that Mr.. Mer-
Ger has reached the half century
mark. So he has, and so have most
men who have done things for their
fellows, nor do those of us who have
observed the ordinary rules of good
conduct in life feel that we have
reached beyond middle life at this
time. He tells you that he is said
to be a millionaire. We wonder who
told him, and, if it were true, would
it have made him of less value to his
neighbors or less fitted to do things
in Congress? Mr.. Shaw has lived a
generation, he tells us. Will some
one tell us what he has accomplished
to indicate any sort of business abil-
ity? He should have done some
thing in this time, especially
as he is asking you to place
him where there should be the
acme of business acumen. He tells
you that Mr.. Mercer would be ready
to enter into the celestial regions
before ne could do things for his dis
trict." This is funny. He says, in
substance, that Mr.. Mercer has done
things in life which have meant per-
sonal success. He says, however,
thing politically, but that he himself
has done "yeoman service in the leg
islature of Georgia" Wonder where
or when he made those footprints"
on the statutes of Georgia" to
which he so boldly refers. Mr.. Mer-
Ger has been himself a member of
the Georgia legislature and did hon
est, effectual work for his county
while there, but is willing for others
to say as to this. He was for four
years the honored mayor of his town,
and than he we never had a better,
no one quite so enterprising, no one
who accomplished during that period
of time quite so much for his town.
1t is true he has always been large
tax payer, but none can say he has
ever fought an enterprise of his town
that he might be less burdened by
taxes; on the other hand, no man
has done more to bring to his town
modern improvements, such as
mean much to tax payers, than he.
Mr.. Shaw would have you believe
that the kind Of farmer Mercer is is
that he ''ploughs IL mortgages in the
spring and collects interest in the
fall" We are delighted to tell you
that he has been in position to aid
greatly his fellow farmers by fur
nishing them with the means not

MONDAY, FEB. IL
MISS DELLA CLARKE

Patrons of the theatre here will have
the opportunity to see one Of the seasons
most important attractions when the new
comedy, Introduce Me- is presented at
the Baker Grand, Natchez, on Monday
night, February 18th. This play is by
Della Clarke, the successful young play
right and actress whose success both as
writer and pIayerof parts are well known.
Miss Clarke has written in her happiest
vein in Introduce Me" as IT is purely
a comedy. But she has also woven in
lnder-currents of heart interest and ro-.
nance that go to make stage picture
Of grace as well as effective completeness.
The story has to do with with the do
nestle affairs of George Nichol, an I'M
successful author, an bis wife, who, I'M
known to her husband, is also an author
and has achieved success under the name
OF Francis Eyerton. 1t is her income from
her books that keep them in comfort and
she explains it by saying it is an al
lowance from an aged aunt. Her book
Susan" is an especially great success
and her actress friend, Edna Somers,
wants it dramatlsed that she may star in
it.
Adroitly they work things so that
Geor.a is engaged to dramatize the book.
Then he and his wife become estranged.
The play is produced in time and is a
splendid success. George is eager to meet
the unknown Francis Everton. Then at
the end he does meet the author, only to
learn that it is his wife. They are brought
happily together again after the telling
of one of the prettiest stories to which
the stage has ever fallen heir.
Miss Clarke will be seen in the chief
role Of Francis Everton. She has sur
POUNDED herself with a metropolitan cast
including such well-known actors as Har-
~ w. Pemberton, Clara Krall, Gordon
De Maine, A. G. H. Rivers, Josie Morris
Sullivan and others.
Special Reservations win be made for
out OF town patrons. Phone your orders
in and the seats viii be held for you.

Why? BECAUSE THERE HAS
BEEN NO CURE EFFECTED.
Impatient at delay in righting
wrongs that are unquestionable
and unbearable and having no
faith in the trifling inanities pro-
posed by political demagogs and
charlatanism, and for other rea-
sons, the spirie of the syndicalist
movement is permeating a much
larger mass of American workers
than is apparent. The citizen who
is blind and dumb to the signs and
rumblings of this discomfort is no
fit guide in the social readjust-
ments that must take place. Some
thing must be done. AS Henry
George long ago pointed out, the
barbarians who may destroy our
civilization will not come from
without. but from within, and be
the product of our own unjust SOC
ial conditions for which we are re-
sponsible.
Socialism and syndicalism are
the two extremes-peacefu and
revolutionary-of the most vast
and tremendous sociological move
ment of the worlds history. The
social consciousness of the earth
Is arousing. Their propaganda of
pamphlets, papers, magazines and
books Is showing under" some
communities and Taking into all
conditions of life. Much OF this is
saturated with error and reeking
with Transformations but is never
theless awakening. A great deal
of 1t is, to sociology. what the

and Capt. Mayne Reid was to ma
tural science, with syndicalism at
the "blood-and-thunder" end of 1t.
But intellectually starved people
no more examine their mental food
with a microscope for disease
germs" than do the physically
starved. That work belongs to the
trained thinker and true scientist.
In the meantime, every citizen,
who is a stakeholder in the gov
eminent, should look to his inter-
est. We should remember, as
Henry George has said, that:
Social reform is not secured
by noise and shouting; by COM
plants and denunciation; by the
formation. of parties or the making
of revolutions; but by the awaken
ing of thought and the progress of
ideas. Until there be correct
thought there cannot be right ac-
ton; and when there is correct
thought right action WILL FOL-
LOW. Power is always in the
hands of the masses of men. What
Expresses the masses is their own
ignorance, their own shortsighted
selfishness. The great work in the
present for every man. and every
of men, who would
improve social conditions, is the
WORK of EDUCATION-the pro-
pagation of IDEAS"

ARTICLE NO. IL.

In the previous paper we saw a
list of Reforms of Symptoms and
Reforms I'm Tolls of Government.
None of these was based on eco
nomic reform that benefited the
people by making their conditions
more Just. All of them were ad-
by other than socialists.
What, then. in all this, is dis
socialistic except the
Social ownership" of ''capital,"
machinery" and the tools of pro-
duction"? 1t can easily be shown
that much of this stuff Is now
owned by the people through stock
and other forms of ownership;
that the inequalities in ownership
are not due to the fact of "private
ownership" but to special priv
ileges that may be abolished with
out abolishing property rights.
