THOMSON, Ga, DECEMBER 10, 1912.
Almost Another Panic Is On.

THE Captains of Industry, such as J. J.
Hill, are telling the people how prosper
Gus the country is.
The daily newspapers are doing the same
thing.
Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson
complies and publishes statistics showing what
enormous wealth the farmers have produced.
But where is the money?
The farmer has not got it.
The laws have been SO contrived that the
unprivileged common folks will never be able
to keep for their own use a fair share of what
their toll brings forth
Our manufacturers won't compete even in
the home market.
Our tariff protects them from the com
petition Of the outside world, and they dictate
the price of what we have to buy from them
You sell at their price and you buy at their
price. What chance have you, under those
circumstances?
The railroads, express companies steel
mills and Trusts have gained hugely in riches
Their profits have reached as high as 800
per cent.-and even more. The big fish have
had a grand time and are still having it.
AS long as they can make the laws, the I'M
privileged common people cannot prosper.
Hundreds of thousands of them are hard
put to it now, to obtain subsistence
Farm tenants are discouraged, and are
breaking up.
Throughout the Atlantic States of the Cot
ton Belt there is general distress.
The people have no money. Merchants can
not collect Little new business is being DONE
Farm stock put up at Sherif's sale bring
prices absurdly low.
Yet taxes are high, the ofice-holding class
on the increase and the cost of living as high
as ever.
And the Federal Government having taken
from the people, in taxation, thirty four MEL
lion dollars ($34,000,000) more than was
needed, is allowing few pet banks the use
of the money, free Of interest,"
eight per cent to twelve, while favored
bunch of Wall Street gamblers have the free
use, in their private business, of $34,OOO,OOO
unjustly taxed out of us.

One Reason Why the People
Have mo Confidence I'm
the Law.


JUST before the national election President
Taft ostentatiously dined with three of the
grandest rascals that ever lived
The scene was laid in one of the New York
hotels.
The facts were stated in al the newspapers.
One Of the men at the table was John Hays
Hammond
This man was one of the participants in
the celebrated Jameson Raid, when few
American and English adventures undertook
to overthrow the Dutch Republic, and seize
it's gold mines
The effort failed, and Hammond was, very
justly sentenced to be shot.
Unfortunately, the sentence was not exc
cuted
Hammond has been great favorite with
President Taft, and has welded baleful in
fuence over his administration.
Another of the three men who were dining
with Mr. Taft in New York was Wilson Mel
son Cromwell.
He is the man who engineered the deal by
which the American taxpayers were made to
pay $40000,000 for some rotting old houses
and rusty old machinery that the French
Canal Company had left at Panama.
A Frenchman by the name of Buneau Va
rllla bought up the French claims for about
Pl3OOO3UUO, ana InoV were QnIOaQ6Q on our
Government for $400O0,00O.
1t was one Of the most scandalous episodes
in American history, and Mr.. Tafts brother,
as we'll as Mr.. ROosevelt's brother-in-law, were
said to have been deeply involved.
The third man at the banquet with Mr.
Taft in New York was Herbert S. Parsons,
then under Indictment for a vast system of
bribery and fraud, by which the Sugar Trust
had stolen millions of dollars from the Fed
eral Government.
Custom House officials in New York had
been hired to falsify the scales and the
weights Of the raw sugar imported BY the
Sugar Trust, and in this way Mr. Parsons
and his assistants had for many years, been
robbing the Government
few underlings, who did not at all bene-
fit from the vast stealing of the Trust were
made the scape-goats.
When the big men Of the Trust. however.
were finally indicted by the Grand Jury their
cases were allowed to drag on, year after year,
until public attention could be drawn off to
something else.
No serious effort was made to bring the real
CRIMINALS to trial and punishment.
Why?
Because those big criminals were safely in
trenched in both the old political parties
10 the Democrats and to the Republicans,
the Sugar Trust was. most liberal, some of
their officials belonging to the one party, and
some to the other.
few days after President Taft was feast
ing with the man whom the Federal Govern
ment was cr1mlnally prosecuting, the case
against him was formally dismissed bv Dis
trict Attorney Wise.
This prosecuting officer stated that one of
his reasons for disseminating the prosecution
was, that Mr.. Parsons was an elderly man:
in fact, that was about the only reason Dis

HOUSE KILLS MOVE
AGAINST SPORTS IN
FARMING COLLEGES

Sport lovers in the house put a sudden
quietus today on the bill by Mr. Gastley
of Habersham. to eliminate football and
baseball from the curriculum of the eleven
district agricultural colleges.
The bill provided that no student or
team in these colleges should play foot
ball or baseball with any team from out
side the county where the school is To-
Gated nor should a school team leave it's
county to play such games.
The bill had hardly been read before
Representative Darlington, of Richmond,
and Adkins, of Dooly were on their feet
with motions to table. The bill was
ia bled by an almost unanimous vote, only
few of the members from the country
counties voting NO" This effectually
defeats the bill for this session.

MY client, Mrs. Daisy Grace, is very
glad to learn from The Georgian that

the attorneys OF Mrs. Grace, today. The

REDS HIGHLY PRAISED.
Some Experimental Breeders Claim
Nearly Everything for That Breed,

some experimental Breeders CLAIM
Nearly Everything for That Breed.
AS the time approaches for the
holding of the annual show under the
auspices of the North Dakota Poultry
ASA zion interest in barnyard aris-
ETSts is being awakened in the diff
sSsent breeds. One breed which, is
growing in popularity is the Rhode
Island Red which has attracted a
good deal of attention by exhibits
made by Banker Person of Minot and
c. D. Perkins of Fargo, both of them
very enterprising enthusiasts.
The Kentucky state experimental
station bulletin places the Reds
above all other breeds as general pur-
pose birds, claiming that they will
lay, when properly bred and cared
for, at least as many eggs as any
of the other breeds, not excepting
those known as egg machines" and
in addition make the ideal table
fowl, whether as broilers, friers or
roasters, and are the hardest fowl
known. The Kentucky report was
made after experiments covering sew
eral years.
The history of the Reds dates back
to 1854, but it is only of recent years
that they have been acknowledged by
the poultry world as a breed. In
1854, it is claimed, Red Cochin China
cocks and Red Malay cocks were
brought into sections of Rhode Island
and Massachusetts by sea captains.
Later Rose Comb Brown Leghorn
blood was introduced in some sections
and for a number of years the male
bird for the head of each flock was
selected for red color and vigorous
condition, the breed finally working
out until it became about as it is
today.
The standard calls for cocks weigh
ing eight and one-half pounds, cock
erel, seven and one-half pounds; hens,
six and one-half pounds and pullets,
five pounds. -
