THE GRAVE CHARGE.

The purpose of the Republican party
if they should come into charge of the
reins of the national government, have
been variously speculated upon. The
latest reckoning comes from President
Wilson, and the press dispatches tell
US of his Saturdays address, the fol-
lowing:
In vigorous denunciation of the re-
publican party President Wilson today
told a delegation of young democrats
from New York that "the certain pros
pect" of republic an success in Novem-
Der is that I'VE shall be drawn in one
form or another into the ENVIRONMENTS
Of European war;" and that 'the force
of the United States will be used Ito
produce in Mexico the kind of law and
order which some investors in Mexico
consider most to their advantage"
That statement should prove inter-
esting to every American. Wilson GER
tainly must know whereof he speaks
II he does, then the Republican party
is the greatest enemy which the safety
of the people of the United States is
obsessed.
The south is Democratic, and will
stay so. But, wherever the Republican
party holds the sway, common sense
should babe them-watch your step.

THE DREAM is TRUE.

Sixteen cents, seventeen cents pos
sibly twenty cents cotton. That's the
dream of every farmer, and that vision
has broadened into sweet reality. On
the condition and ginners report of
Monday, the futures market took a
decided upward trend, and there are
many observers who openly venture
the belief that the fleecy staple will
soon pitch its heights on the twenty
cents mark.
In the face of this extraordinary
high price, this section has the boil
weeyil. And-next year. the price
should be around the fifteen cents lev
ell There will be no such abundant
yields in the future as there have been
in the past. Intensified farming; di-
versiflcation, with the boil weevil here
will cause less cotton to be raised, but
yielded on fewer acres.
1t has often been said that the world
has one billion dollars to pay for ths
southern cotton crop. and that the
master consumer pays just one billion
for the crop though it be ten million
or fifteen million bales. The history
of the crops and the market seem to
prove this.
The world finds cotton necessity
and the southern farmer on the aver
age finds himself with knowledge Of
cotton, and the staple only
One of the geratest pointers of the
advice given in the combat with the
weevil is that the farmer plant nc
more cotton than he is able to person
ally superintend, or have it done by
overseerers in whom the owners hav,
confidence. Do not leave the cottor
/ crop next year to the indolent and ir
responsible laborer
i Every year can be fifteen cent
year If the farmer keeps lis head.

COMING BACK HOME.

The Times Recorder has commented
frequently on the negro emigration to
the North, and several months ago this
section was intensely interested in
the exodus of blacks to the North
They are coming back South now
yes, coming back home. They are
much the worse for experience. They
are ready and willing to live in the
South again.
An interesting discussion of the
question is in the following editorial
from the Savannah Morning News:
1t is no surprise to learn that many
of the negroes who were taken North
in large patches on the promise OF
steady work and good pay are coming
back to the South. Evidently it is
true that they expected more than was
promised, and were dissatisfied be-
cause the work they had to do is hard
and really steady and the attitude
of the Northern white man towards
them is not so great an improvement,
from their point of view, over the
Southern white mans attitude toward
them on that score The negro tried
living in the North long ago, far back
before the War Between the States,
and he drifted South naturally. 1t
would be unnatural for the negro pop
ulation of the country to show any
steady drift northward again, simply
because conditions of climate, or crops,
in the South are far more attractive to-
the negro.
Perhaps it will be good thing, in
the long run, for both the colored peo-
pie of the South and the South, as a
whole, that thousands of negroes have
taken to the North to work. When a
very large per cent. of these laborers
come back home" and display glee
because they are able to get back.
there will be less heard about the ru-
mored good things in store for negroes
If only they go beyond the Mason and
Dixon line to get them. Cool weather
is setting in now in the North and be-
fore the long winter of that section is
half over there will be many South |
ern negro temporarily at work there
who will long for the less distressing
weather of the Southern winter. This
wholesale importation of negro labor
by the North is an experiment. 1t is |
likely to be found worth while only in
an emergency, as temporary thing,
and expedient, and not worth while
as an effort to supply continuing de-
rland for labor in the North.

HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
AND FEEL FRESH AS
A DAlSY-TRY THIS!
Says glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons

To see the tinge of healthy bloom
in your face to see your skin get
clearer and clearer, to wake up with
out headache, backache, coated
tongue or nasty breath, in fact to
feel your best, day in and day out, just
try inside-bathing every morning for
one week.
Before breakfast each day, drink y
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
as harmless means of washing from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els the previous days indigestible
waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
cut all the sour lamentations, gases
and acidity and gives one splendid
appetite for breakfast.
A quarter pound Of limestone phos-
plate will cost very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water cleans
es, sweetens and freshens the skin, so
hot water and limestone phosphate
act on the blood and internal organs.
Those who are subject to constipation,
bilious attacks, acid stomach, rheu-
matte twinges, also those whise skin
is sallow and compilations pallid, are
assured that one week of inside-bath-
iEg will have them both looking and
feeling better in every way.

THE CALL COMES.

Every person is more or less famil-
lar with the present national campaign
now under way which has resolved it,
self into fight between Wilson for re-
election as president, and Hughes, his
opponent; a battle between Wall street
and the people; campaign pitched
on democracy and right by one party,
and sectionalism and plutocracy by
the other party.
No one doubts but that the financial
interests in the main are opposing
Wilson, and Wall street has arrayed
her capital in battle style to send the
great statesmen to defeat on Novem-
Der 7th. If money can win-then Will
son is whipped, and we are sorry to
say that money in it's sordid way can
control much.
The campaign of Hughes is remark
able for its petty and trifiing quibbl-
ings; its plane before the level of
ward politician.
Instead of appealing on broad
Americanism for which Wilson stands,
Hughes is pleading on a basis of sec
tionalism-with the cry that "the
south is in the saddle" Faint echoes
OF this battle siren have been heard in
the south, and even in Georgia. Wilson
has enemies-every great man forms
opposition, and Wilson, as every man,
is just so strong as his enemy as long
as he holds the upper hand.
1t takes money to fight campaign
on the gigantic scale and powerful
which this race has as
sumed. A million and more dollars
are needed to finance Wilson and the
party in the battle now
on.
Every Democrat has been called upon
to do his part in the financing of the
campaign. Every section of
the nation has been organized. All
Georgia is now earnestly subscribing
her share of the campaign expenses.
Americas and Southwest Georgia |
have been called upon, and the Times
gladly joins in the solicita-
tons of the national committeeman to
have the people give to the fund
The local committee has organized, |
aud they urge the people to subscribe
for the cause. The Times Recorder |
will be glad to receive any amount and
receipt. In turn, the
sums will be turned over to the local
headed by w. w. Dykes,
which body will forward it to the ma
tional finance committee.
It's duty, and one which we all
must gladly perform.
