REWARDED FOR HIS
FAITHFUL SERVICES.

Flor over two years Mr. Newell
Jobes has taken care of the. pump
station during the absence of the
town Marshal whose duty it is to
do so. = -, t
Mr.. Jobes is the proprietor Of
the Cottage House near the station
and after the pump was started in
the mornings he watched it to see
that it was doing it's work when left
alone. Then in case OF a fire, ev-
erybody who knew Newell, felt sure
of a water supply for the occasion.
1t was only a small matter for
Mr.. Jobes to keep the pump running
tbs true, but the Inconvenience to
many in case of short supply
perhaps be embarrassing and for
this reason and for the fire pro-
lection to the town he extended his
gratuitous services.
Monday night our city council
rewarded Mr.. Jobes for his servic-
es with a check for $4,000 and a
vote of thanks.
Mr.. Jobes desires us to say that
he thanks the Council for this ben
eficence and it came as a surprise
to him, not thinking of pay for the
accommo odation extended.

DEMAcoeIc SPEECH BEFORE THE

Editor News:

Editor News:
OF all the inharmonious, illogical de-
hverances ever read by the present
writer those uttered by one Eugene
r. Black, of Atlanta, in addressing
the Alumni Society of the University
of Georgia, reported from Athens, Ca,
under date of June 18th, in special"
to the Atlanta Constitution, stand
alone in their class.
Among many other statements
he is reported as having made on that
occasion, the following are some of
the more notable ones: 1--WE (of the
South have been hewers of wood and
drawers of water for the democratic
party since the war between the states
and have never been given the privilege
of nominating president" b. whom
this privilege" could be given or with
held, he left his listeners to conjecture.
HE was enthusiastic in his character
ization of woodrow Wilson, but his
underlying motif was that the time
had come when southerners should
stand forth without political bias or
handicap and take as great a part In
nominating future presidents as did
the West and the East in nominating
Wilson"
Il am not appealing to the South to
leave the democratic party. For what
the democratic party has done for the
South, honor it. My appeal to the
South is that 1t assert itself" Wheth-
er in Bull Moose fashion or otherwise,
deponent saith not "No longer is
there reason for you to be the political
yassal of the East or the West" Is
not that comfol ting assurance to the

sectional, your voice will be heard in

only hope is in your political indepen-
dence. not independence of party but
independence Of thought and action.
Truckle no longer to your party. Be
master of it." Here are submission to-
party and independence of it, both
counseled against in the same breath.
Let the nation but once know that
the South stands now on principles
and intends to formulate a platform
based on those principles, you'll see
accorded to the South the right to in
corporate the principles in which she
believes into the platform of the party
she controls, and the right to name a
son of Georgia or a son of Texas as
llo party hoIlOHdi UcdIcl,
and for the first time, the young men
of the South will see the South recog-
nized as potent part of the nation"
In the name of God, Amen. With the
prestige that standing on principles
and intent ito formulate a platform
based on those principles" will bring
to the South, 1t will perforce be recog-
nized not only "as potent part of the
nation" but the principal part Of it
in fact just about all of it; but, how
remorseful to contemplate what the
South has lost in political prestige and
power, these decades, all for want Of
standing on principles and proclaim
ing intent to formulate a platform
based on those principles"

A second party, also under the aus
pieces of New York University, will
make similar tour, but will concern
itself chiefly with labor problems, la
