COULD SERVE AGAIN.

Why not re-elect Governor
Brown and save another hot polit-,
ical fight in Georgia? The News
does not believe he would have any
opposition if he would consent to
accept another term.-Dawson
News.
Our contemporary will find the
answer to it's question in the con-
stitution of Georgia, which pro-
hibits a third term for governor,
except after a lapse of four years,
EARLY County News.
Our Blakely neighbor need not be
too sure of that. While it is true
that the governor of Georgia is not
eligible for reelection after serving
two terms successfully, it doesn't
apply in this instance to Governor
Brown, who retired from Office at the
expiration of his first term, and,
therefore, did not succeed himself.
1t is plain that there is no legal OBJ
stacle in the way of the governors
reelection, if he would consent to
accept the office again.

PLANT MONEY AT HOME.

PLANT money at home" is sug-
gestion full of common-sense that
has been made by the Charleston CIV.
Va.) Mail. And what that paper
says is just as applicable to Dawson
as it is to the West Virg MIA town.
People who buy and invest money
in other places never reap anything
at home that is justly theirs. The
Mail says: Money planted at home
is the only money that can be de-
pended upon to grow and increase
and bring results. There has been
enough money sent away from here
in the last ten years for one thing
and another miscalled an invest
ment that will never be seen again
to have transformed this old town.
With the New Year let all resolve
we'll quit all such foolishness and
plant our money here, where it will
grow, and where growing, it will
benefit both ourselves and our city.

POPULATION BY COLOR.

The population Of Georgia by col
or, as announced by the census bu-
reau at Washington, shows there
was not much change between the
two decades in the rate of increase
in the white population, the increase
from 1900 to 1910 being 250,0O2,
or PIP per cent, as compared with
2O8,937, or 20 per cent, from 1890
to 1900.
The rate Of increase in the negro
population in the state as a whole
since 1900 has fallen off considera-
bly,, as compared with that of the
preceding decade, the increase from
1900 to 1910 being 142,174, or 1877
per cent, as against 175,998, or 20.5
per cent, from 1890 to 1900
In this immediate section, which
is known as the ''black belt" of
Georgia, there has been practically
no change in the percentage of
whites and blacks, the latter COM
prising two-thirds of the population,
as was the case ten years ago.

WHOLE ARMIES WILL FLY.

From the New York Sun.
Hudson Maxim spoke at the Hud-
son theatre yesterday under the aus
pices Of the League for Political Ed
ucation on aviation in peace and
war. He said that the light, swift
aerOplane carrying two men will
play a great part in scouting and
strong men with arms and explosives
will be wonderfully effective as raid
ers.
'An army of 100000 men could
readily be transported several hun
dred miles in a day by means of 20
600 aeroplanes," he said. Easily
could such feet fly from the con-
tinent to London" Such transpor-
tatiOn would not cost anything like
as many lives as oversee transporta-
ton, Mr.. Maxim thought.
The speaker pictured how an
army of 100000 aerial Canadian
raiders could fly over the boundary
line in the event of a war with Great
Britain, capture Buffalo and move on
to Cleveland before we could touch
them if not stopped with aeroplanes.
In the next great war in this coun-
try the whole land will thus be on
the firing line, he said
There is wide popular miscOn-
ceptiOn about the possible destruct-
iVeness of dynamite bombs dropped
from areoplanes," said Mr.. Maxim.
Dynamite requires confinement to
do much damage" Large steel pro-
jectiles that could do damage are
out of the question, he considered,
because of their weight and the diff
ficulty of hitting a target from the
machine.
By bringing war and it's moves
under the eyes of the world the war
aeroplane will prove a veritable dove
of peace, the speaker said. Auto
matte equilibrium, making flight
more the function of the machine
and less that of the aviator, is what
is most needed in aviation, he said.

is not Prof. Wilson, so eagerly bid
ding for Carnegie aid, even now re-
ceiving a pension? He is in politics
bound by principles of honor" But
is he not as the upcome of that con-
ditiOn governor of New Jersey and
drawing a $4,000 salary?
True, Prof. Wilson spends his days
and nights, not so much in Trenton
attending to the duties of his office,
as. in ransacking about the country
in experimenting, pipe-laying efforts
to promote his presidential pros
poets. That, however, is not the
question. The people Of New Jersey
might be getting what they pay for;
but Prof. Wilson, as Gov Wilson,
is no less getting what they pay for.
Under these pOcket-filling circum-
stances are they not bound to regard
Prof. Wilson as already receiving a
pension? From what condition of
politics, too, into which he entered

through which his family and those
dependent upon him" are made to

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Postmaster General Frank H.
Hitchcock, in his recent declaration
in favor of government ownership
and operation of all telegraph lines
in the United States, created a polit-
ical sensation, for no administration
has hitherto given any sign of ad
vocating such radical plan. In
an official statement, made public
by the postoff1ce department, he as
serts that he will recommend to con-
gress that the government be au
thorized to buy the property of the
privately owned telegraph compa-
MES under the act of 1874. He be-
lieves that such a consolidation
would permit the adoption of lower
telegraph rates through important
economies, and at the same time af-
ford a favorable opportunity for the
wide extension of telegraph facili-
ties to those postoffices not now in
such close touch with the world.
AS a matter of fact, the first tele-
graph in the United States was OPP
Grated from 1874 to 1S47 by the gov
eminent, under authority from con-
gress, and Postmaster General
Hitchcock seems to think it most
desirable that government control
be resumed. He hopes that congress
will speedily enact legislation in har-
mony with this law providing for
the taking over by the government
of the existing telegraph systems at
terms that shall be fair to tn ir pres
eEt owners.
Men of large affairs are divided in
their opinions on this important
matter. Many favor the purchase
of telegraph lines by the govern
ment, while others fear cost and
operation difficulties.

THAT Carnegie Pension
Alfred Henry Lewis in the San Fran

Alfred Henry Lewis in the San Fran
cisco Examiner.
Professor Wilson, governor of New
Jersey, late president of Princeton,
would-be president Of the United
States, has asked for the Carnegie
pension. What a worthwhile thing
it would be if some Edison or some
Marconi were to perfect a system Of
mental photography so that one
might snap a picture Of what hap
pens inside the heads of certain peo-
pie just before they decide on certain
things. That, however, is a thought
on the side.
Carnegie pensions are paid out Of
Carnegie gold. Who doesn't know
the source and character of Carnegie
gold? 1t came as the ripened fruit
of protection" when protection"
spelled extortion. 1t was gathered
in the blood and tears of the Home
stead strike, when children starved,
women wept and workmen were shot
to death on their doOrsteps And
now comes a wOuld-be president and
a candidate for the democratic white
house nomination and asks-with
hands outstretched-tha he be paid
pension in that same tear-rusted,
blood-marked Carnegie gold.
Pensions, whatever their kind, pre-
suppose past work and present that
speaks OF need. What are Prof. Will
sons reasons for claiming a Carnegie
pension? What want-woIf howls at
his door? What work has he done?
The Wilson pension reason, as stated
by himself, is that "a man who goes
into politics bound by the principles
Of honor puts his family and all who
may be dependent upon him for sup
port at the mercy of an incalCulable
turn of the wheel of fortune, and
then. assuring himself to be such a
man-albeit, some might think the
question begged-he adds, "and l
felt entirely justified in seeking to
provide against such contingency"
Cool, truly, if not convincing.
Doubtless, as Prof Wilson assures
us, he is in politics bound by princi-
pies Of honor. We have also his
somewhat superior attitude to show
US that his elevated sort are very
few. And yet beyond the Wilson as
surance, and that Wilson pose of SUI
periOrity, what have we to prove that
Prof. Wilson is a whit more bound
by principles Of honor" than are
ninety-fve in every one hundred of
our everyday citizens Of less preten-
tious if not less common clay? Are
those not in politics bound by "prin-
ciples of honor" and are not their
families as much as is the family Of
Prof. Wilson thereby left at "the
mercy of any incalculable turn of the
wheel of fortune?" Shall these, too,
have pensions? Unless Prof. Wilson
considers that he has cornered the
political honor of the country, and
by contrast shines out in that re-
spect against the dull background
of a grasping, unpatriotic princi-
pied American public, like a fire in
the forest, he will not say mo" to
these questions.
Pension, like the words wages"
