PUBLISHED FOR CLARK HOW
ELLIS BENEFIT.


Dear Sir: Just suppose that we
had an organization in the State of
Georgia named the Georgia Chamber
of Commerce.
Suppose this organization lined up
with the Catholics and Jews who
were trying to defeat the courts and
tho law, by clearing a degenerate.
Jew who had raped and killed little
Gentle girl, in cold blood, and the
courts had proved it on him.
Suppose this organization had subs
at every cross roads in the State sub
ject to orders from headquarters
which would enable them to pass any
law for their own selfish interest and
under the sickly mask of pretending
to be the friend of the farmer, con-
troll the agriculture legislation OF our
State.
Suppose they were to pass a law
called the tax equalization law.
Suppose they were to introduce a
bill called the Shupterine bill, Or a
ship Subsidy law?
Suppose that the president of this
organization was also president II
one of the rottenest lane organiza
tions in this State?
Suppose at this gang were TO
wake up some morning and find tic at
the Hon. Thomas E. Watson would
control the politics Of this State in
the coming election and it were to
frighten them into fits and spasms,
and they were to start a crusade
against him, in order to have him
sent to the penitentiary, or dragged
out of the State and killed for ex-
posing them and their rOttennesS.
Suppose this gang were to have
meat inspection laws passed, which
would force us to sell our stock to
tho Meat Trust.
Suppose that in 1914 they affirm
that the farmers had made so much
cotton, until they had brought a
panic on our country (and not Wood
rows laws that caused it,, and were
to go far enough to threaten to have
a law passed to make it INSIDE
meanor to plant cotton; and, in 1915,
find them fighting the boil weevil!

They that have ears, let them hear!

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 8.-The high
price of wheat, with corresponding
advances in the cost of flour and bak-
er's bread has brought the old-fash-
Toned Georgia corn pone into popular
ity again. Restaurants which had
given up serving corn bread are now
offering Aunt Dinah's'" corn pones,
and corn pones by other fancy names,
as substitute for bakers bread, and
are finding that many customers like
it, at least for a change Especially is
the corn bread relished in connection
with vegetable orders. Others are
making speciality of corn mullins
baked brown and served hot and fresh
from the oven.

JOHN ID. WALKER.

To one man in Georgia can go the
lions share of the praise of the goodly
sum which was raised for the Demo-
cratic campaign fund, and that Geor-
gian is John D. Walker, of Sparta A
business man with many cares and
much to do he gave up almost all his
time for the past month entirely for
the work of amassing a large fund TO"
the Democrats war chest.
Georgia did not contribute in the
proportion that was expected greatly
que to lack of interest in the races
created in state always known to be
rock-ribbed in her democratic inclina-
tions.
John d. Walker is a man of whom
all Democrats are proud.

NEUTRAL AND FRIENDLY.


ding countries and its significance OF
| ghis side of the Atlantic was the
comment of the countries as war OF
the action of the United States in re-
gard to the U-53 The Savannah
Press has this interesting editorial:
The Independent, in discussing the
far from easy lot of the neutral, which
il he remains neutral in very truth, is
sure to offend one party or another and
likely get in bad with both, refers to
the United States efforts to rescue the
refugees from the ships sunk by the
L-53 which has been so little appre-
ciated in England.
Lord Beresford, speaking in the
house of lords, said: But for the gal
lantry of the American naval service
lives would have been lost This be-
ing so, the United States was rather
aiding and abetting this shocking state
of affairs" Would Lord Beresford
Ike to have had us let them drown so
that the United States would be COM
PEELED to declare war on Germany"
asks the Independent.
What particularly aggravates the
English is that the United States de-
stroyer Balch complied with the re-
quest of the U-53 to move to one side
SO that the submarines could torpedo
the British liner Stephano after her
crew and passengers had taken to the
boats. The Independent reminds its
readers that the English, French, Ger
nan and Japanese warships did exact
" this thing for us in Manila Bay. Ad-
niral Dewey, in his autobiography,
says that on August 8, 1898, he notified
The foreign men-of-war to shift their
so that he could lombard
the Spanish forts on the following
and they complied; the Brit
sh with willingness, the Germans
with reluctance. 1t was, indeed, bit
.er disappointment to Admiral Won
0iedrichs to have to stand by and
watch the city and the land coveted
~ his Kaiser fall into the hands of
he Yankees. There were three Ger
nan cruisers in the harbor then, with
about twice as many men as Dewey had
n his whole fleet. The cable was cut
md Admiral Dewey was acting on his
,wn responsibility when he threatened
)iedrichs with war if he did not keep
lis ships out of the way. In the en-
orcement of his blockade Dewey had
he support of only one of the four
oTeign commanders in Manila Bay,
capt. Chichester of the British ship
and when the American
leet passed the Immortalite on their
way toward Manila her guard was pa
AIDED on deck and her band was play
ng Deweys favorite march When
he foreign men-of-war were officially
lotitied that the city was in American
possession only Capt Chichester"
says Dewey, acknowledged the noti-
1cation by firing the national salute of
-wenty-one guns with the American
ensign at the main"
The Independent remarks that it is
we'll for both Americans and British
To recall this incident now when our
tempers are strained by the problems
Of the war" This was a crisis in our
national life. The British were neu-
trail, but very friendly, much the
same sort of neutrality as we are dis
playing toward England at the present
time the Independent truly declares.
