Don't Wait,

If you've anything good to say OF
a man
Don't wait till he's laid to rest,
For the eulogy spoken when hearts
are broken
Is an empty thing at best.
All, the blighted flower now droop-
ing lonely
Would perfume the mountain side
If the suns glad ray had but shone
today
And the pretty bud espied.
If you've any aims to give to the poor
Don't wait till you hear the cry
OF wan distress in this wilderness,
Lest the one forsook may die.
Oh, harken to povertys sad lament!
Be swift her wants to allay;
Don't spurn Gods poor from the ia
vored door,
AS you hope for mercy one day
Don't wait for another to bear the
burden
OF sorrows irksome load;
Let your hand extend to stricken
friend
AS he totters adown life's road.
And if you've anything good to say
of a man
Don't wait till he's laid to rest;
For the eulogy spoken when hearts
are broken
Is an empty thing at best.

What Will the Answer Be2

What will the answer of the peo-
ple be to the bill of Representative
Ashley increasing for one year the
fax rate to eight mills? asks the Sa-
vannah News. 1t is now i've Mills
fixed at that rate by the constitution.
What they will likely do is this:
They will ask Mr.. Ashley and other
members of the legislature why they
have not kept the appropriations
within the states income.
For a good many years, as our
contemporary states, the total OF
the tax returns has been increasing
right along, but the Legislators have
increased expenditures very much
faster than the tax returns have in
creased. And they must have done
this knowingly. If they did it ignor-
antly they are lacking in the fnan-
cial ability the Legislators should
have.
when Senator Smith was govern
or it was frequently said that there
was a deficit in the treasury, that
the states expenses were exceeding
it's income, but the statement was
Indignantly denied. Now it turns out
that it was true, that the legislature
was appropriating practically every
year more money than it was receiV-
ing.
THE people haven't been told the
exact facts, and hence. if the legisla-
ture passes Representative Ashley's
bill, nearly doubling their taxes for
next year, they will feel like sending
other men to Atlanta who have some
knowledge of business, and who can
at least keep the state from piling
up a floating debt when the states
income is all the while increasing.
1t is a foregone conclusion that they
will not with glad hearts vote for
Mr. Ashley's plan for getting the
state out of hole"

LegisIating for Lawyers.

LEGISLATOR Peyton of Worth coun-
ty wants to do something for the
LAWYERS. and would turn another i'm
Dortant office entirely over to them
He has introduced a bill making eV-
ervbody but lawyers ineligible Tor
election to the office of Ordinary
Mr.. Pevton's measure will no doubt
meet with speedy death, as the peo-
pie of Georgia will hardly submit
to the passage of laws in the interest
of a certain profession and against
the great body of citizens. If there
is any reason for the Peyton meas
ure except to turn another political
office over solely to the lawyers the
public would like to be informed of
what it is.
The News knows number OF
county Ordinaries and everyone OF
them discharges the duties of the
office in as intelligent and efficient
and as satisfactory manner to the
public as any lawyer could hope to
do. Especially has this been true
here in Terrell county, where the Of
flee has always been filled by men
as competent and worthy as any law
yer who would be elected to the po-
sition.
There are many capable and de-
serving lawyers, of course, but when
it comes to holding public office they
should be on the same plane with
other worthy citizens.

Doodle in Campaigns.

Some interesting facts of political
history are being let out by the SEN
ate committee that is investigating
campaign contributions.
1t cost the republican national
committee about $1,900,OOO to fl
nance the Roosevelt campaign in
1t cost the committee about
twice as much, or $3,8OO,O00, to run
the campaign in 1900 which resulted
in the election of William Mckinley.
These totals were disclosed Off
cialIy for the first time when Geo.
B. Cortelyou, who was chairman of
the national committee during the
Parker-Roosevelt campaign of 1904,
appeared as a witness before the in
vestigating committee.
The democratic campaign mana
gers in 1904 were not as adept at
fat-frying as the republicans, and
succeeded in raising a total of only
100000.
1t is apparent that money Yields
too great an influence in our politics
both national and state. 1t al
most invariably decides the cleo
tiOns.

WE CAN'T TELL YOU.
tba Snarta Tshmaelite.

From the Sparta Ishmaelite.
Why does a young man who rides
bicycle double himself up like
homemade doughnut the minute he
begins to work the pedals? Yes, and
why does a fellow when he goes to
throw a ball have to screw it into
the palm of his right hand with his
left, then hop on his right foot while
he bumps his chin with his knee be-
fore he throws it? And why does
man when he gets raw-boned plug
and ten dollar cart have to rein the
poor crowbait up, like a turtle
treading water, till it can't see the
ground before it and goes stumbling
along as if trying to read the answer
in the stars? Why does girl whom
nature has given clear and healthy
complexion have to paint till she
can't wink for fear of breaking the
enamel? Why does she bang her
hair like a spitz poodle and make her
head look like window mop? There
are a great many things which we
would like to know, but will wait
until another time.

Don't Know What They Want.

From the Hawkinsville Dispatch.
There it goes again. Now, Greene
county,, after trying the one commits
sioner for it's county affairs, had a
bill passed to do away with him and
go back to five. Telfair county like
wise proposed to legislate our friend,
Mr.. Grover Williams, out of his job
and have five commissioners. And
we learn that Dodge county has some
talk of turning out five and trying
the one commissioner experiment. 1t
is hard to satisfy every one, but the
good of it is that you can change
what you have if you don't like it.

Governor Wilson and President

Governor Wilson and President
Taft have both announced that they
will not go over the country making
speeches and asking for votes. With
this dignifed example from the two
leading candidates it is to be hoped
that Colonel Roosevelt will not insist
on going on the stump. The past
four or five campaigns have given
the people enough of the spectacle OF
candidates for the greatest office in
the world ranting abou: the country
appealing to the passions and preju-
dices of political mobs.

BLACK BIRDS AND THE ARMY
WORMS IN BATTLE ARRAY

From the Cordele Dispatch.
Save the birds. They have time
and again proved their value to the
farmers, the most recent instance Of
which has occurred in Crisp county,
where black birds descended in bat
tie array and saved one and possibly
many other corn crops from the raw
ages of the army worm. The pro-
lection given these feathered Great
ures from the ignorant, not to say
the vicious, element is nothing COM
pared to what it should be. Their
value even is not appreciated by any
part of those citizens who are not
to be classed among the above ire
sponsibles, for they allow the de-
struction of the birds upon their
plantations in a way that makes
them a party to the crime of self-de-
struction. Audubon societies should
be formed on every plantation and
the birds protected with rules OF
iron, for they are the real presery-
ers of the crops in destroying in
sects many times their own weight
daily, and are many times more val
liable as such than their game quail
ties give them. AS a means of self
defence let us at least not ruthlessly
slaughter them, and if we can do
nothing more let everyone insist up
on the close observance of the pres
ent game law.

Tommyrot Is Bristow Talk.

From the Blakely News.
If the Georgia legislators are OPP
posed to the election of United States
senators by the people let them so
vote, but let them fight it out from
ambush behind the Bristow amend
ment, which is not an amendment at
all, but leaves the United States con-
stitution just as it now is, except
that the senators will be elected by
poular vote instead of the legislature.
The republicans need congressman
worse than they do senator's, yet the
former republican congresses made
no effort to NEEDLE with our congress
sional elections. 'Bristow amend

Would Kick Butter OFF Their Bread

From the Valdosta Times.
1t is amusing to see how some of
the small politicians clap their hands
in glee at every assault upon the
business interests. They do not seem
to realize that the business of this
country is what gives it its greatness.
1t is what supports the people and
what furnishes food and clothing for
the millions. Stop business for one
day and the average politician would
not be able to get a bowl of soup
for dinner. Those people who love
to deride business are as foolish as
the attendants upon Bels.hazzar' s
feast, or those half drunk sailors
who were dancing in revelry when
the Titanic went to smash. In their
blind ignorance they know not what
they do.

A Nauseating Mess.

That Blease-Felder affair, to which
the more sensational newspapers are
deyotfng a great deal of space, is a
nauseating mess, from any view
point. Blease may not be an agel-
in all probability he is anything but
one-but the charges of Fielder
would have more weight il they
came from source other than a pro-
fessional detective who was hired to
produce evidence by setting traps.
The fact that these charges of cor
ruption are not made in South Caro-
lima, but in Georgia with the safety
of a state line between the accuser
and the accused, is another thing
that will tend to give the South Car
DINA executive the benefit of the
doubt in many minds.
The fairest statement that we
have seen printed of the charges and
counter-charge of both sides in this
disgusting controversy is the follow
ing synopsis of the main facts from
the editorial columns of the Amer
icus Times-Recorder:
"The Atlanta attorney is now hav-
ing his innings. So far, though,
nothing directly has been proved
against Gov. Blease. There are al
1ooo5 oo,,yorro+jOuc with q SOut n
Carolina attorney, recorded by die
tagraph, this attorney claiming he
had influence with Blease and would
secure a pardon for a noted criminal
for $4,000. The thing looks fishy,
on the face. It may be that Blease
is guilty, but much better evidence
than that trumped up by Fielder and
his detectives will be needed
ION the other hand, we see the
Atlanta attorney afraid to venture
into South Carolina, where he is
threatened with arrest for cofrup-
ton in the closing up of the affairs
of the rotten old dispensary system.
Letters are produced purporting
TO be written by Fielder suggesting a
deal for a division OF graft in the
dispensary.
Fielder says that these are forger-
les. His story is that man who was
a clerk in his office and was skill
full penman initiated his hand-writ-
ing and forged his name. This mans
wife is a distant kinsman of Fielder
old partner, and because of this Eel
der says he would not prosecute him
con the one hand we have the
South Carolina governor charging
the Atlanta lawyer with being par
ty to proposed grating schemes; on
the other we have the Atlanta law
yer charging the South Carolina gov
ernor with the same thing.
"And in each instance the evi'
dence presented is denounced as fix
ed and each calls the other a few
such choice epithets as 'scoundrel,
liar, etc.
1.-The public is pretty well nause'
ated with the mess. 1t is safe to say
neither Georgia nor South Carolina
is particularly proud of its contribu
tions to it,

Lorimer a Remarkable Character.

From the Savannah News.
With the passing of Senator Lori
mer goes one of the most remarka-
BILE characters in American politics
character which our politics and
existing conditions made possible
English born of Scotch parents he
began as a newsboy and bootblack
and without having spent a day in
school worked his way to wealth and
a position in the highest law-making
body in the country. Personally his
life is above reproach He has no
bad habits, does not drink, swear or
use tobacco, and is active in relig-
ious work. He must have strong
personal attraction else he could not
have won the friendship of men like
those senators who stood by him
through his trial Yet in politics
Lorimer was INSCRIPTIONS.

Not the Newspaper Mans Fault

If the newspaper makes a mistake
in an item it is generally the fault
of the person from whom the news
was obtained. Newspaper men, as a
rule, are ever alert to keep from
publishing anything that would be
Injurious to the public or work an
injustice upon any individual, says
the Hartwell Sun.
1t would surprise the uninitiated
to know how many items go into the
waste basket instead of the columns
of the paper. Never day passes
that some family is not saved shame
by the refusal of newspapers to pub
lish the indiscretion or escapade OF
one of it's members. Everybody is
interested in whut Everybody else is
dom whut's wrong" but the press
is sufficiently respectable to print,
very much oftener than it gets cred
it for, what it's readers ought to
know than what they want to know.
