VICE CONSUL, LESTER
SCHNARE VISITS
OLD HOME

Lester Schnare, U. S. Vive Consul
at Canton, China, is the guest of Mr.
and Mrs NJ E. Whitman for a few
days. Mr.. Schnare is graduate oil
the Fitzgerald High School, a mem
Der of the 1902 graduating class which
consisted of Mr.. Schnare, Judge E. J.
Griffin, Clifford Plopper and Miss Ma
| belle Bosworth. The young men Oh
the class have all made good records
Mr. Plopper now being missionary
| for the Christian church in northern
China, Judge Griffin is forging to the
front as an able lawyer, and Mr.
Schnare occupying an important post
in the United States consular service.
Mr. Scenarios record is an excep-
tional one. Having secured know
ledge of shorthand and typewriting in
the business department of the Fitz-
gerald schools, he entered the gov
eminent service soon after graduating
at the navy yard at Pensacola as
stenographer and was then transferr-
ed to a position in the treasury de-
partment at Washington. Not being
satisfied with spending his life TAX
ing dictation from others Mr.. Schnare
used his spare time preparing himself
for higher service to his country and
soon graduated full-hedged attorney
in the District of Columbia, still re-
tanning his position with the govern
ment, which recognizes merit and
promoted the young attorney to tn.
legal department in the consular serv-
ice.
Two years ago Mr. Schnare received
the appointment as vice consul to the
important post at Canton, China, and
has made fine record during these
troublous times. His fine character
and we'll equipped mind have been
an asset for himself and his govern
ment during his stay in the far East,
and several important missions have
been given to him since the United
States entered the war. He has visit
ed Japan, Manchuria, Hardin and
other important countries. and cities
in the discharge OF his duties. Mr..
Schnare is we'll informed on the
Eastern question, speaks Chinese like
a native and has mastered several 9th
err foreign languages, which makes
him valuable man for the foreign
service.
Mr.. Scenarios mother and sisters,
who are we'll remembered here by the
old Colonists, are living in Macon,
where Mr.. Schnare has purchased
for them comfortable home and is
looking after their comfort. He will
be in the states about two months
and will visit Washington before re-
turning to China.

S NEGROES STRUNG UP SINCE
BROOKS COUNTY TRAGEDY

Valdosta, May 1o-Mary Turner,
wife of Hayes Turner, was hanged
this afternoon at Folsome's bridge
over Little River, about sixteen miles
north of Valdosta. Hayes Turner
was hanged at the Okapilco river in
Brooks county list night. His wife, it
is claimed, made unwise remarks to-
day about the execution of her hus-
band, and the people in their indig-
nant mood took exceptions to her re-
marks, as we'll as her attitude, and
without waiting for nightfall, took her
to the river where she was hanged
and her body riddled with bullets.
This makes FIVE persons lynched in
this section as result of the Smith
tragedy at Barney. All of Sydney
Johnson's relatives, including his mo-
Their and father, were landed in Jail
here last night. Tonight, owing to
the increased feeling among the peo-
pie, the jail being strongly guarded
to prevent trouble. Besides the chase
after Sydney Johnson, posses are to-
night looking for other negroes in this
section and the feeling among both
white and black seems to be growing
more intense. -.

SAME OLD THING

Nothing has transpired in this
state during the past two years to
change the view expressed by this
paper two years ago, viz: That no
Republican is under the slightest OBJ
legation to vote the ticket labeled
Republican" in the state. The men
who control the party in New Mexico
have prostituted that once proud
name to their own base ends, and
have made that name responsible for
a long series of acts that are diamet-
rically opposed to the principles of
old-line Republicanism. Their po-
litical methods are shame and dis
grace to the name, and while they
nominate for office some good men
personally, they also nominate many
who are shame and disgrace to the
name. No. Because you have been
proud to belong to the Republican
party during many glorious years of
its career, is all the more reason why
you should rebuke the thing masquer-
aiding as Republicanism in New Mex
leo. The impossibility of reforming
it from within has been thoroughly
demonstrated. 1t can be regenerated
only through defeat.

ROBERTSON, THE ABSTRACT
MAN. For CLERK

A competent abstractor, above all
other men, must possess the essential
qualifications for county clerk. No
one county clerk ever learns as much
about his own office as competent
abstractor must know about that par
ticular office. If you are not in po-
sition to know this, then ask some
one who is. Then vote for the man
you know to be the best man for the
position. And let this vote for the
best man thought go with you in cast
ing your whole vote. A vote for the
abstractor, Robertson, is vote for eff
ficiencyi in the office he is running
for. A vote for the best man for
every position will be vote for the
best interest of the people, regardless
of politics.

THE WAY TO BEAT THE
REPUBLICAN, RING

The fate of the Nation, State and
County lies with the citizens-with
the voters The election will be No
vember 5th. The Republican party
is in power locally and thus are be-
fore the. people all the time. 1t is
strong in organization, thus being in
position to win by directing the vot-
ers before election, provided the vot-
ers submit to it's direction. But by
direction only can they win. 1t is up
to the voters to say whether they
vote, as usual, at the direction of the
Republican organization, or vote ac-
cording to their own direction. In
this United States, all men are free
and equal at the polls. Every voter
is entitled to cast his vote according
to dictates of his own mind. The
vote of the poor man is equal to that
of the richest. The vote of a Span
ish-American and that of an Anglo
American are both, for their country,
of equal Importance. No man should
vote for or against any candidate be-
cause only that he is a. .Spanish-Amer-
lean or an Anglo-American, or be-
cause the candidate is a rich man,
VI DCCduoS tlc lo d pour
man. The vote should be cast for
the best man, all things considered,
for the good of our country; and not
at the direction of any political or
ganization locally or otherwise.
Let all persons eligible to vote go
to the polls on election day. The fact
that you are not registered will not
keep you from casting your vote
There will be an official there on
that day to qualify you. Unless all
vote, the Republicans will win; for all
will vote. They are or
ganized. Do you think it would be
well for the people that the Republi-
can organization be in other hands? |
Then VOTE.
GO TO THE POLLS Nov. 9Th, and
