fragmentary OCR notes mention a daily Sunday item about a business manager candidate or appointment, with partial names including Roby and Bowell and unclear roles, set within a small town local column.
The item lists subscription terms for The Constitution in Atlanta with weekly and tri weekly rates, addresses for subscriptions, and warning readers to beware of unauthorized representatives. It also notes Washington Bureau presence, sale points in New York, and references political commentary about the 1912 campaign and notable figures.
In Atlanta Governor Woodrow Wilson faces critique for ambiguous tariff remarks. Critics say his focus on government control ignores the tariff's central role in policy, arguing under Oscar Underwood the Democratic tariff plan gains clarity and momentum. Wilson’s evasive stance is blamed for weakening his party’s stance in key states.
E L Blackshear of Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College argues for state valorization of cotton to stabilize prices. He notes America's cotton output powers world trade, urges revising southern growing and marketing methods, and compares to Brazil’s coffee policy while warning against reckless exploitation.
The Constitution reports a state wide forecast from impartial polling. Inquiries across counties show overwhelming support for Oscar Underwood over Wilson, with a small pro Wilson minority and doubt tied to total vote size. The forecast hinges on overall turnout, but Underwood leads decisively.
The Ohio constitutional convention rejected capital punishment in favor of life imprisonment, signaling renewed discussion on the wisdom of taking a life. Proponents note essential deterrence and swift justice in other nations, while critics warn that clemency and court delays often nullify punishment. The piece urges reforming judicial procedure to address root causes of homicide before debating penalty severity.
In Georgia the campaign for cleanliness targets the malaria carrying mosquito. Health officers from around the state urged local authorities to drain inundated areas and oil cesspools to suppress breeding. With yellow fever fears reduced, eradicating malaria mosquitoes could greatly improve public health and lifespans.
The Associated Press notes a $2000 Chicago contribution to the federal conscience fund, given to atone for past theft from government coffers. The piece ponders why people repay stolen funds, ranging from pennies to large sums, and whether remorse, aging, or other factors drive restitution.
A Albany Georgia reader writes from the chautauqua circuit praising Oscar W Underwood of Alabama as the best Democratic nominee and criticizing Woodrow Wilson for avoiding the tariff issue. The letter urges Georgians to back Underwood, arguing he is a skilled lawyer and statesman fit to lead.
A colonial era sermon argues the farmer bears a public risk by producing perishable foodstuffs. It contends that the state should offset losses from droughts floods and pests, framing farming as a collective responsibility for the public good.
A lyrical reflection on Jenny and blossoms contrasts with a political essay arguing southern cotton farmers deserve state-backed risk sharing. The piece proposes a statewide plan: pro rata per acre cotton shares, state warehouses, price setting, seed and fertilizer access, and built in mills to shield farmers from market swings. It envisions a democratized southern cotton industry controlled by the state to ensure fair rewards and counter European price pressure.
