Governors, the Indian has disappeared
and the Cracker has come to rule the
country. The name as distinctive
class has finally lost all primeval sig
nificances, and in Savannah 1t has
come to refer to the natives of the hill
country and of the wiregrass who have
fiocked to this city by the thousands
and who in many respects have chang
ed its complexion and ruled its des-
tiny. The Crackers were really the
men who, starting in Liberty county,
Insisted upon separation from England
in 1875. The mountain Crackers fol-
lowed Andrew Jackson in the battle o..
New Orleans in 1912; they were back
of Old Hickory when he wrestled Flor
ida from Spain and forced the Chero-
kee and Creek Indians back from
Georgia. Though no Shareholders
themselves they were among the best
fighters in the war for secession and
swarmed into the regiments that en-
listed during the Spanish-American
war In times of peace they pursue
their way quietly, whether their work
consisted in running a cotton factory
driving a street car, presiding over a
bank or figuring in retail trade or real
estate deals. For the Cracker is thrifty
and far-seeing. In peace and in war
he can be counted upon to hold up his
end of the load. AS rule he is a foe
to privilege of all kinds, a democrat
by nature Whether he fought the
feudal chiefs in Scotland or the Tor
les in Virginia, or the protection bar
ons in America, the Cracker believes
in his soul the truth of the Declaration
of independence; that all men are Gre
ated free and equal.

DUTIES WELL DONE

Yesterday the grand jury concluded
its session for the spring term of the
Superior Court here. 1t did not close
it's work until large number of indict-
ments had been made out and reported
as the result of the efforts Of the grand
jury and solicitor in their work.
Especially diligent was the grand
jury in apprehending violators of the
gaming and prohibition laws, two of
the most pernicious offenses that come
before the Superior court. violators
of these laws will learn to respect the
grand jury of Sumter county, if it per-
forms its duty in the future as in the
past.
1t may be claimed by some that
some violators of the law have not
been apprehended. When was there a
grand jury that did not fail to appre-
bend some violators of the law who
should have had indictments made
out against them? 1t is almost impos-
sible to secure indictments against ali
who violate the laws.
But the people of the county should
be grateful that grand jury so dill
gent and SO active in its endeavors to
uphold the law was chosen for the re-
cent term of court. The work that
this grand jury has done should stand
as an example for grand juries of the
future. Vigilance ON the part of grand
juries, which are charged with the
peculiar function of vitalizing the
laws and seeking their most rigid en-
fcrcement, should aid more than any
thing else in making Sumter county a
county noted even more than now for
its regard of the law

But it is said money-that is to say,

Well, it is not usual for an individual
Or nation to be embarrassed because

body prepares for stringency it never
occurs. The country is in splendid
economic health, and with the tariff
bill passed and the Interstate Com
merce Commission granting the rail
ways the requested modest increase OF
IS per cent in rates, there would be such
rapid restoration of public confidence
and such rise in securities as follow
ed the crisis of 1907.

THE PRICE OF WAR

(From The Worlds Work.
This year, the one-hundredth ami
versary of the political uprising and
the new birth of Prussia and the twen-
ty-fifth year of the reign of the present
Emperor of Germany finds him spons-
oring the addition of 1000 officers and
about 10000 non-commissioned officers
and men to the present tremendous
German army The increase by itself
is 80 per cent larger than our whole
army. With it the German army IS
seven and a half times as large as
ours. To put its fighting force on this
new basis the Government proposed to
raise $240,OO0,000 by a single eXtraor-
binary war contribution of one-half per
cent. upon private fortunes above 81,
500 and of per cent. upon incomes of
$12,500 and above, and after that for
the annual expense of maintenance an
extra $45,0OO0OO year.
From 1881 to 1910, six nations Ger,
many. England, France, Austria, Italy,
and RUSSIA have spent $31 $3.50, 100000
Germany, with no wars during this
period, spent $6,OOOOOO,OOO, or about

WOOL AND THE TARIFF
indianapolis News.)

NAlluillopOllo -NSNS'J
There are some indications that the
wool people are already beginning L
adjust themselves to the free trade
basis. The Commercial Bulletin, O.
Boston, says:
"A more optimistic attitude appears
to have been adopted by the wool ;rIdc
during the last week, although this at
titude is still highly tempered with
caution and does not necessarily mean
that prices will rise rapidly but simply
that there is a disposition to operate
more freely at current rates. A large
line of Ohio delaine wool has changed
hands at price fully down to a free
wool basis
1t is now certain that wool will &c
on the free list. There is, therefore
no reason why the process of adjust
ment should not begin at once-as it is
beginning. We believe that there will
under the new tariff be much wider
market for wool, domestic as well as
foreign. For certain sorts of manT-
facture it is necessary to have WOO
that is not, and can not be, grown in
this country With the larger com.
mand of this product, which will not
displace one pound of American wool
there will be larger demand for the
domestic article Not only that, but
wool will take the place, to large ex-
tent, of the shoddy that is now use1
And the people will get better goods
at lower prices. The manufacturers
as whole, seem to be reasonably
we'll satisfied with the situation. The
general result will be greater COM
mand over one of the necessaries oi
life.
Speaking of this matter of adjust,
ment to new conditions, we think thai
business men generally will be gla{
to know as soon as possible what those
new conditions are to be. Inc chle
interest of the people now lies in the
promptest possible action on the tariff
bill. Nothing whatever is to be gained
by delay while much may be lost. The
special session was called for the pur
pose of getting the tariff out of the wa!
in the interest of business. There ar
few people who would not be glad i
the tariff bill could be signed by thu
President tomorrow Dilatory tactic:
will not in our opinion be approved b!
the country. Since the election ever,
one has known that the tariff was t.
be reduced. And the feeling was, am
still is, that the sooner the job is dom
the better. We believe that even tn
standpatters, with possibly few ex
ceptions, are reconciled to the newt
able.

SUMTER COUNTY FARMERS
WHY NOT you !?

The Editor of the Cotton
and Cotton Oil News, of
Dallas, Texas, states in his
paper that he knows of a
farmer who sold ten bales.
of certified cotton to the
Southern States Cotton Cor
pOratiOn when cotton was
l2c. He received $45 cash
per bale and $50 in script.
He was offered 75c on the.
dollar for his script, took it
and thus received $3.50 per
bale for his cotton, or 81 so
per bale more than the mar
ket price less 81 per bale for
certifiCatiOn, or a net profit
over his neighbors who
sold by the old system of
$65.OO. We wish to say
that no one connected with
the corporation is permitted
to~d dis count script at any
time. What those who hold
scrip wish to do with it is
a matter entirely beyond
the control of the corpora
ton. MIR. Farmer, don't

tativeS of the Southern

THE GEORGIA CRACKER

(From the Savannah Press.)
The Georgia Cracker is an element
in Southern life which cannot be ig-
nored. The origin of the word is
shrOuded in history, tradition assign
ing it to the long whips carried by
cattle drivers in the old days which
with enormous crackers, gave the
name to this class of men. The Crack
er" title has been given by common
consent to a class of people in the
country who, by the way, have made a
success in the cotton factories and who
compose about the only reliable and
skillful labor to be obtained. So entire
ly is this true that cotton factories ia
localities where the Cracker does moi
reside are FAR from being a success
Happy is the mill man who has been
able to secure this class Of labor TIKI
Cracker grows in Georgia Florida, Al
ALBANIA and the Carolinas. From beinf
distinctive class the name has final
~ Leen given to all people from tn,
interior, especially hy seacoast cities
and this city OF Savannah, largely buij
5up by the people from the up-country
has cone 10 dub part of it's popula
ton as Georgia and Florida Crackers
TO this must be added of course, tn
North Carolina Cracker, who cam
here with the naval stores business
who has made good in his work, an
who has helped to make Savanna
prosper
But the Georgia Cracker is shrewt
Industrious, full of humor and cour
age trifie ungainly perhaps, but wit
the elements of strong citizenship. TIL
Crackers really drove the Cherokee
out of Georgia and insisted upon set
Ting on their land. The chief justic
of the Georgia colony declared that tn
iCrackers came from the western part
of Virginia and North Carolina, an
predicted that they would in tim
oyerrun the rich part of this country
The courts in the early history al
dressed itself to this Cracker" ele
ment Bill Arp suggested that tn
term Cracker" was a Scotch tern
and was early conferred on the roug
and uncultured men who came iron
other colonies The word is a corrup
ticn of the term used anciently il
lScotIand to designate a certain yeom
amy independent as woodsawers, "wh,
were obnoxious to the aristocracy."
But in spite of chief justices an,
