hundred million dollars of new taxes on tele-
phone messages, on kilograms, on insurance
policies, on tobacco and on becr-taxcs which

the Republic with 4 per cent bonds. and to
tax cotton to pay off the bonds

that not another lar Of 02y sort could be

If it is the law of Democratic politics in
Georgia that the will of the people can be
scorned and set aside by delegates who are in
hopeless minority in their own counties,
then there is an end to the rule of the ma
jority.
The people had just as we'll stay away from
the polls, and let the countryside ring run the
whole thing.
Since the Macon Convention adjourned,
what have Smith and Hardwicl1 done to re-
lieve the distress of the people? Nothing
Both Of them went before the Congressional
Committee and advocated q tau Of 10 cents
pound on cotton!
Neither one of them had urged the Presi-
dent to issue Greenbacks under the Acts of
1868, nor to remove permanently the 10
per cent tax of 1875 on State-bank notes, nor
to establish for the farmers a system of loans
on staple products, similar to that acAich
Great Britain has Just adopted to relieve the
cotton groecers Of Egypt.
On the contrary both Smith and Hard
wick have set their faces against any plan
that would lessen the grip of the national
bank Money Trust.
When other Southern Congressman went
to the White House and implored the Presi-
dent to favor some such measure as the Henry
bill, Hoke Smith took it upon himself to 90
there and strongly oppose it.
Why? Because H0ke Smith and has Re-
0i0ndz Bank IN atlanta are port Of the Val
Street Money Trust.
In Hardwick's letter to L. j. Walker
Spann, Ga, dated October 6, 1914, he states
positively his refusal to support the Henry
bill or anv similar measure
This letter is not marked personal" and as
it relates to public measure, [ do not violate
any confidence by using it. Mr.. Walker sent
it to me for that purpose.
Hardwick knows perfectly we'll that the
Government is now lending hundreds Of mil

commercial paper; yet he insolently tells Mr..
Walker that ut IS not q proper junction Of
the Government to engage IN the business Of

He knows that the Government has been
lending millions upon millions of dollars of
public money, to favored bankers at 2 per
cent, and he hmoacs that Hohe Smiths 6anh
IN Atzanta has 100000 Of that n2oney right

the farmers, and Hoke Smiths big promises
for II 1-2 cents cotton
Ii ever man got goods under false pre-
tense, Hoke Smith did.
Ii ever man got caught with the goods,
Hoke Smith did,
In circulars, IN kilograms, in private let
tiers, and In handouts to the Washington
correspondents of the Georgia papers, Smith
was the omnipotent statesman who had the
situation in hand, had salvation gin sight"
had plenty of currency for every bale of cot
ton, had legislation ''in sight, that would
take 100000 bales off the market, and had
things In such shape that in 60 days every
cotton grower would be prosperous and
happy.
Never did any man make more promises
than Smith made. And every promise that
Smith made was backed up by James r.
Gray who runs Smiths Atlanta Journal,
when he isn't looking at that watch, nor hunt
ing with that shot gun.
Smith vowed that the Administration would
finance our surplus cotton.
Smith vowed that ample currency would
be provided for that purpose
Smith vowed that in 80 DAYS, so ships
would be hauling our cotton away at - -
cents.
Smith vowed that within 60 days there
would be $30O,0O0,00O loaned us on our cot
ton.
In vain did Joe Brown warn the people
that all such talk was rubbish, used only for
campaign purposes.
In vain did your Uncle T. E. W. remind
the people Of how many other promises Smith
had made and broken.
1t was no use: the people stampeded to
Smith
Then he Immediately threw off the mask,
on no c4tro cto
who was laboring day and night, mentally
and physically, for - 1-2 cents cotton.
Resuming his natural self, Smith came to
Macon, put the finishing touches to the deal
between Hardwick and Fielder, brutally ran
over the Slaton men, helped to steal dele
gates who belonged to Hutchens and Slaton,
and thus put before the people as Demo
cratic nominee for the Senate candidate who
received less than third Of the votes.
| do not know the details of the 80 cases to
which Judge Hutchens refers, but the Lincoln
County case is perfectly familiar to me, and

There are more than 100000 white voters
in Georgia: Hardwiclz got in round numbers

circumstance, indeed.
Knowing Hardwicz as I do, and knowing
the unlimited money at his disposal, the

manipulated in his interest, have not the

Equal Franchise League Notes

The Equal Franchise League held their regular meeting in Odd Fellows hall last Friday. Not very large au. dienee was present, but what Il lacked in members was made up in enthu- siasm.
 Instead of speaker being arranged for, members of the league volunteered 10 speak and the short addresses by Mrs. W. J. Bartlett, Mrs. w. L. Beard, Mrs. C. D. Arnold, Miss P. k. Webster, Miss Annie Cogan, Miss Anna C. Levitt, Miss Rosmond Danielson, Mrs. J. B. Taiem, Jr., and W. J. Bartlett were very interesting, each speaking on a different theme gave spice and originality.
 So pleased were all present at the unique, that meeting on this same plan may be arranged at a latter date with different speakers.

Taxes and Assessments Coming Ip

The corporation counsel for the city of Putnam, Lawyer Charles l.. Torrey, reports that payments are being made by aontters for spfinkling taxes and the collection of assessments for side walk repairs. For few years past there have been few citizens who have failed to pay their sprinkling tax or sidewalk assessments giving various reasons for their refusal to do so. The common council recently instructed the city tax collector to collect such taxes or assessments by demand or by law suit. It is understood that several of the abutters, tafter obtaining legal advice, have paid the claims aganst them rather than to submit to m nc. ton at law. The matter of sidewalk repairs arose after report by the su. perintendent of streets that certain sidewalks needed repairs and notice served on the abutters to make such repairs and their refusal to comply within the time specified in the notice. The city then stepped in and made the repairs and assessed the amount charg- ed against each abutter.

IL was hoped that the play might have been given Christmas eve but there were insurmountable ohslncles to pre- vent AS In former years the names of those taking part in the production were not gwen out.
 All of the churches unite in the pro- duction and besides the native Puritan element those oi Irish, Swedish, Eng- fish, Scotch, lulian, Portuguese, Gan. adians, Swiss and Negroes take part. The same characters are allotted 10 he same cast eaeh scar so far as possible, The beautiful and inspiring scenes of the Nativity rather than those of the Passion were selected for this annual religious pantomime. The large audi ence sat in silence as the story was un- folded. Before the play was given old English carols were sung.

 There are hundreds of nervous, run down, overwork ed women in this vicinity who are hardly able to drag around and who we are sure would be wonderfully benefited by Ninol as Mrs. Becker was.
 The reason Vinol is so successful in building up health and strength in such eases is because it combines the medici- nal tissue building and curative clements of cod's flyers together with the blood making, strengthening properties of tonic iron. We ask every weak, ner- vous, rundown man or woman in this vicinity to try bottle of Vinol on our guarantee to return their money If 1t fails to benefit.

Not a Favorable Time to Sell Railroad
 11ex

A domestic lumber manufacturer
 who is familiar with the market con dition is of the opinion .that this win ter is not favorable time for farmers and lumber manufacturers to produce cross ties and says:
 "Last year the New Haven road lad something over 10000 cross ties and in addition purchased about 400,- eO0 more than their requirements. All though it is reported that they are planning to lay 100000 ties during the coming year they have advised that they shall ionly purchase what they actually require for their present acquisitions, and .as they have over 100000 lies on hand, this will leave about 200, 600 to be inspected IL k expected that when this amount has been taken up they will diseonlipae inspecting until next fall Of winter
 IL is the opinion of many lumber manufacturers that there are now over ,000, GOO cross ties adjoining the tracks Of the New Haven road which have not been inspected, and it k certain that within short time the full mum Der required will be along lines. It appears probable that cross ties which are delivered during the early part Of next year will have to be carried until next fnll or winter; so that the manu facturers will lose not only the interest on the money invested, but also the growth of the timber and will also have to stand the checking which oc. CUTS when the ties are seasoning.
 It is easy to imagine that the other branches of the lumber business will | improve if general business conditions | are better, but 1t is hard to see how | even good business will materially nf. | feet the market for cross ties during | the coming year. This condition is unfortunate for many farmers and | owners of small woodland and those | who have hard wood standing timber, | which they desire to put on .the mar ket. ]
