WILL HOLD ANOTHER
MASS MEETING

Camp No. IA, P. o. S. of A, will
held another meeting at the rooms OF
the order tomorrow night. The purpose
of this meeting is to complete ar
engagements for the passing of a set
of resolutions endorsing the admins
tration's preparedness" policy. AS
has already been stated in these col
umns, these resolutions will be sent to
the speaker of the house of representa-
tives at Washington and will set
forth the feelings and sentiments of
the members of this order, the prime
object of which is patriotism.
A meeting of Camp No. "a has al
ready been held, at which these reso-
lHtions were discussed, and it is in ac-
cordance with what was done that this
meeting is called, and in order that the
two camps may work in conjunction
and harmony with each other.
A joint committee is proposed from
both camps to draw up a set Of reso-
buttons, the same to be signed by the
presidents of both camps, Monday
night.
The resolutions, without doubt, will
be strong and vigorous in their sup
pert of the present administration and
will speak in no uncertain terms in
favor of preparing" for war in times
OF peace, and will be along the line OF
those recently sent to Congressman
Crisp of this district.
DR.. J. R. Statham and G. L. Williams
comprise the committee from Camp
No "a.

HARRIS GIVES HIS STRONG PLANKS
Before
Harris Speaks Several
Proposed Him

$35OOOO.00. The total income from
the present lease of the Western G At
lantic railroad is $42O,O12.OO So W.
are only receiving net about $7O,O0000
for all this property, which most
conservative authorities value at from
fifteen to sixteen million dollars, while
others claim that it is worth consid-
cradle more. The value of the road
should be fairly well established from
the interstate commerce valuation. The
total public debt of the state is at
present $6,214,7O2.OO, so if the road
were sold for $16,000O0, there would
be sufficient funds to pay the public
debt settle in full with the school
teachers, and leave at least eight mil
lion dollars, as surplus. This sum
alone at $50 interest invested in coun-
ty and municipal bonds, would Yell
an income to the state of $400, 100000,
and when you add to this the taxes on
the property sold Of about $75,000.00,
and then the interest saved on the
public debt, you have an income al
most double the present lease. There
fore, if the road could be sold for a
reasonable price, and by constitu-
tional amendment, the surplus over
and above the amount necessary to
pay the public debt and pay the school
teachers all the arrears due them, be
invested in county and municipal
bonds, or a land bank for the benefit
of the whole people directly in this
state, this surplus fund should pay
into the treasury considerably more
than the present lease of the road and
leave the state with this great surplus
and entirely out of debt. The only ar,
gument against this is that the legis.
lature will spend the surplus money,
hut if the legislature is restricted by
constitutional amendment, it could
not do this, and then, too, after all, the
legislature is only the people speak
irg through their representatives, and
have sufficient faith in them to be-!
lieve that this argument is without
foundation. It is unjust for the state
Of Georgia, by mere force and power
and in the teeth of the spirit of its
own constitution, to deny to one sec
ton of the state a reasonable compe-
t;tion and development, and to say to
every person, both natural and artif-
cial, if you attempt to thwart competi-
ton in any line, will hold you guilty
of crime.
There are other questions very Vi !
tai to the interest of our people, which,
together with these suggestions, have
made me, for time consider becom- /
ing candidate in order that I might
discuss them face to face with the
people of Georgia, but, for the reasons
above, l am compelled to forego this

believe there are two causes at the
bottom of all this, the one is the I'M
restrained and unbridled activity of
the political demagogue and character
assassin, both journalistic and other
wise who cheapens human char
acter by his ceaseless vomit of ths
vilest ISLANDERS against practically ev-
cry public official in the state, and
the other is the election of our judges
by direct vote of the people.
Now in stating this second clause,
l do not mean to criticise a single
judge in the state, but when the judge
serves, in direct contact the people who
elect him, the system itself inspires an
Indifference to the Office and a disre-
gard for the court, which breeds con-
tempt for law and Indifference to its
enforcement. While honest differences
between upright, honest citizens ever
have and ever will, require the inter-
vention of courts, this type of litigant
is ever faithful and obedient to the
law. The menace to the court is he
who would openly violate the law, or
who is Indifferent to it's enforcement,
ard this type is ever active in local
politics. What active heller at the
polls who feels that he has contribut.
ed largely to the creation of the Judge,
will have the slightest fear of being
arraigned before him, regardless of
the cause? It is this system which is
sapping the vital force of our courts.
This is true regardless of the fact that
the judge may be absolutely above re.
preach and utterly unconscious Of his
position in this class of the public
mind. This cannot be applicable to
any other elective office as it is to
judge, for the simple reason that none
other exercises the judicial function.
May God speed the day when there
shall be, within easy reach of every
child within the state of Georgia, p
properly conducted, we'll equipped
school, supported by the state, with
proper school books furnished at cost,
and the strong arm of the law to re-
strain the parent who would deny his
child the blessings of an education.
This after all, is the real sources Of
the progress of the state, it's develop
ment, and its perpetual establishment
THE state road has been much dis
cussed, and there seems to be a gen
eral sentiment in the state, which is
very much opposed to any disposition
of the property. l cannot understand
how this could be matter of senti-
ment. 1t is purely a business propo
sition. We are now paying approx
mately $252,OOOOO for interest on the
public debt, and $1OO,OOO.OO on sink
ing fund, which makes an annual APP
preparation for this year, for sinking
fund and interest, approximately
