THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY

A system of voting and nominating
III Georgia has been evolved to main
tain the solid front of the Democratic
party, but this primary plan has grown
into abuse during late years. 1t has
come to the place where anybody and
everybody who is white can vote in
the primary, despite its name is Dem
ocratic and is financed by the candi-
dates.
The Americas Times-Recorder joins
in the request of the Atlanta Journal
upon the State Democratic Executive
Committee which meets in Atlanta on
February 18Th to devise some plan
whereby every man who votes in the
primary shall be Democrat, and bind
him to abide by the results of that
primary when the nominee is named
for the general election.
There are a few scalawags in Geor-
gia politics who are nothing more
more than common traitors and liars
in every day language and walks Of
life These ingrates enter the Demo-
cratic primary and should the results
lot be according to their likes and
dislikes, they will Immediately turn
upon the solemn moral obligations
which they have assumed and bolt
tie primary in the general election. 1t
IS from this class of dangerous poll
tiriars ara people whom the true
Georgia democrats want to be freed
The rights of the primary have been
abused in Georgia. Men are known to
have voted who never entertained the
slightest idea of good intentions of the
result was not in thorough accord
with their views-and the ideas OF
their leader.
In all history there is nothing more
Sublime that the great and good pa
tEiot who leads his fellow man out of
the quagmires and quicks of danger
Gus politics and government. He is
Zero, and rightly so. Carlyle has wor-
shipped him-and paid him homage
But there is likewise a class of
leadership who know nothing except
their selfish and petty motives, with it
extremely apparent that they are at
tempting to fitch from the people vile
dollars as reward for their corrupt
practices.
Georgia needs a cleaning up in her
politics and some Of her people-whieh
we are surely not proud to possess.
No greater service could re per-
formed for the best interest of the
state of Georgia and the Democratic
party than to actually deprive all
rights to these political outlaws so
far as participating in thhe Democrat
ic party. They are an extreme minus
quantity in the general election.
The primary had its birth because
of efforts to take the negro out of pol
ittcs. We want a stronger and more
stringent primary to purge the sys-
TEN of something worse by far than
the negro-it is people of our own
color and race who are enemies with
in our borders.
The people look toward the state
executive committee.

PART OF DOVER.

! Dover, where German seaplanes
have lately been showering high ex-
plosiyes, might be called the business
end' of the British Empire toward the
continent; for when England wars in
Europe her troops set out from Dow
er's har5or, whence they have gone to
Germany, France, Holland, Italy, Spain
Iand Belgium in centuries past, and
whence they are leaving today in an
undiminishing stream for scores of
battlefelds distributed clean across the
continent from the open ocean to the
Black Sea-" begins primer on war
geography just issued by the National
Geographic Society at Washington.
The city occupies a narrow break
i'll the famous channel chalk cliffs, and
its harbor is formed by grand en-
closure of the waters of the Straits of
Dover by more than a mile of piers.
The chalk cliffs are honey-combed with
military works, hidden guns and bat
teries and galleries through the rock
The fortifcattion of this point, where
England and continental Europe APP
proach nearest to one another, has
been done as thoroughly as military
ingenuity can devise. Besides the
works built into the cliffs, the harbor
is guarded by modern redoubt, Fort
Burgoyne, and other fortifcation-cir-
cults. 1t has always been a fayorite
worry with Englishmen to dream Of
invasion via the straits and Dover.
so keenly have Englishmen felt
about the subject since the days of the
Mortimer pirates, that they have sew

ly project for linking Dover with
Calais by tubes under the Channel to
France, lest an insidious enemy some
day march across unexpected into
tLeir country under their protecting
sea. One company formed for the con-
struction of such a dry-land way be-
tween Europe and England did man
age to get some lengthy reports made
to Parliament, in which the sugges-
tiCns were advanced that provision
must be made, with the construction
Of any such tubes, for their flooding
from Dover in case of an outbreak of
hostilities between Britannia and any
European power. The idea, however,
was dropped as dangerous o1e.
Roman shipping visited Dover's
port, and, probably, the Phoenicians
before Roman times traded there. The
harbor was fortified in the 4th cen
fury, and the original defenses have
been kept up-to-date ever since. The
Battle of Dover was fought off the har

tace the Monk, adventurer- pirate and
soldier of fortune, commanding a great
French fiotilla to aid the English bar
