ISIS. and nobleat achievements of the magnificent century in which we live, and the movement which places so many periodicals In the hands of the people Is In one respect a choice sign of the times. But all these will be but agenries of decay If they are to sound the knell of the old and ever delightful volumes which make for culture and Intellectual .Immortality. The Trade Press Is Welcome. The annual meeting of the Southern Trade Press Association, which la being held In Atlanta today, has brought together as fine a body of men as this city has seen In a long time. There are many matters of Interest to themselves and to the South In general which are coming up for discussion during the present session, and this, together with the pleasure Incident to the annual gathering, makes the occasion one to be remembered. Too much cannot be said in commendation of the noble work done by the trade papers of the South. While the upbuilding of this section Is an Important function of the dally press, the latter Is, in the very nature ot things, a newspaper, first of all, while the sole province of the trade paper Is to stimulate Interest In the Industrial and commercial progress of this section of our common country. The Georgian Is devoting considerable attention to this feature, and Its Investigations lead to the convic tion, made clear In our column*, that the South Is en joying a period of prosperity such aa It has never seen before, and which Is not attained by any other section of the country. There Is a field for a large number of trade papers in the South. Our diversified Industries have reached that degree of Importance that each of them needs a ■pedal organ, and the field Is now very extensively covered. President Harman, of the association, who Is at the head of "Cotton," the largest and moat representative journal of the cotton trade'published In this section of the country, hna presided with high ability over the deliberations of the body and has put through a great deal of valuable work. To the visitors within our gates we extend a hearty welcome. We assure them that The Georgian and the people at large appreciate their efforts fo build up the South along the progressive lines they advocate, and the efficiency of their work will be shown In the future, as In the past, by the greater prosperity enjoyed by the South. Saturday Evening. It was Coleridge who said that "a book worth read ing is worth reading twice,” and as an Illustration of the value and power of thoroughness, someone has said, "Beware of the man of one book.” There are only too mnny evidences thnt the Ameri can people ot today are disposed toward the superficial •nd have, but little disposition to read- anything which cannot be devoured within a comparatively short time, like a magazine article, for Instance. In this connection some remarkable figures have recently been given out which show that new period! cals have been admitted to the malls at the rate of ten a day for the past ten years, Including 8undays and holidays. In other words, during tho past decade more than 40,000 weekly and monthly magazines have been established In this country. What Is tfie contrasting fact In this connection? Twenty-five years ago there were 3,000 book stores In this country, while the number, we are told, has now been reduced to less thnn 1,000. This Is In spite of the fact that during the past quarter of a century the coun try has greatly Increased In wealth and has grown In population at least fifty per cent. In addition to these facts, collected by Tho New York Times, It should be stated that Germany annually publishes 354 books for every million of inhabitants, ■nd France 344; that Grent Britain, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Sweden, and Norway rank In the order given. Even Russia, with Its vast agrarian population, publishes 85 books annually for every mil Hon of inhabitants, while the Dnlted States, which by rights should be one of tho most cultured and scholarly of all the countries of the globe, annually publishes only 81 books per million of Inhabitants. This Is Indeed a low proportion In the number of volumes published annually In this country, nnd At the same time we are told that the United Stntes publishes 60 per cent of all the periodicals In tho world. These cold tacts only need to bo reinforced by a mo ment's reflection on the part of the average reader, who will readily recall how many new mngnzlncs 'he has seen on the book stalls during tho past few years, a great majority of which apparently niako n success, while some of them attain to really retnarknble propor tion. There can be no doubt thnt there Is a larger reading public today than there ever wns In tho history of the country. The low price at which the average periodical can be purchased places tt easily within the reach of peo ple who a quarter of a century ago paid but little atten tion to periodical literature and perhaps very little to reading of any kind. But It Is an Inevitable deduction that with the amnll amount of books published In this country, when com pared to the iKjpulatlon, there Is very little exhaustive reading—and therein lies the pity of It all. That man Is to be pitied Indeed who has never form ed the habit of making fast friendship with books—not merely with the author but with some Individual volume, which he thumbs and marks and caresses until It ac quires the quality of an old friend Indeed. They thus acquire a character no less distinctive than an Indi vidual. Wo know the very page to which we can turn In Don Quixote for the Inimitable scene of Sancho's Induction to the governorship of the Island of Baratarla; we remember Just where to find, In "I’nrudlee Lost,” those haunting lines of Infinite melody, "Heaven opened wide her ever during gates;” we know Just where yrs have marked the death scene of Haldee In that surrepti tious “Don Juan" of the long ago: In the essays of Mac aulay we turn readily to the New Zealander who "takes his stand on a broken arch of Ixmdon bridge to sketch the ruins of 8t. Paul;" we can find "Halmalo” at a glance In "Ninety-Three.” or "the Island valley of Avtl- ion" in the "Idyls of the King.” They are all old friends and welcome us whenever we have a mind, with the old familiar faces which lend ■ mellow- charm to the luxury of books. We Salute Them on the Home Stretch, When the shadows fall slant upon another Saturday afternoon, there will have passed Into history the mem ory of the longest and bitterest campaign ever known to Georgia politics. Not even the stern and malignant feeling that dis tressed the days of Troup and Clarke, not that brief but bitter cnmpalgn between Colquitt nnd Norwood In 1880, nor yet the fierce rallies between John B. Gordon and Augustus Bacon, have compared In the remotest degree to this campaign In the length of Its prosecution and In the bitterness of the personalities which have distin guished Its leading candidates. With the pause which falls upon the closing week and with the softness and calm of the Sabbath which Intervenes before the strife is renewed, the Impulses of the hour lead us once more to a general defense of all of the parties mixed In this awful scramble and Into few general words of personal .comment upon each of those engaged. Fifteen months, ago not one of the five citizens who are leading their friends and followers In this campaign, had ever been smirched by public abuse or by bitter per sonal criticism. And, six months from today the animus will hare died from the breath of the battle, and these five gentlemen will stand up once more before their fel low men In undlmmed repute and In- unlmpeached char acter to enjoy the respect of a public which will have easily forgotten the charges born of conflicting ambitions and Inspired by factional bote. We are quite sure -aat each of these men, whatever the issue of Wednesday's battle, will be glad when it Is over and will rejoice In the peace and tranquillity which wraps four of them In the quietude of Individual citizen, ship, and which will be compensated by triumph evgn if It beats fiercely upon one of them In the white light of public station. Gentlemen of Georgia, wo salute you all. You are none of you as good or as bad ns you have been painted by your friends nnd by your enemies. You are none of you all saints and we feel sure none of you are all sin ners. You are five strenuous, ambitious, well reputed Georgln citizens exercising your Indisputable right to as pire to public office and to fight according to your natural Instincts nnd to your nnturnl or creative environment for the one prlzo which Is the goal of your several ambitions. You can't all win success, but you can each deserve ft. The Georgian, whose preferences in tl\p campaign have never l>con personal but are now ns they have always been attached rather to the Issue than to the personality at stake, with n full and generous good will salutes you all. Col. JAMES M. SMITH, of Oglethorpe, has done his Estate much service and wo know It. Measured by the definiteness of his achievements In agriculture and. In de velopment, no man In all the scramble has writ more definitely on tho roll of Georgia's meritorious sons than the farmer candidate of Smltbonia. His broad acres have been won by his brand Intelligence, and the teeming crops which have filled his coffers with revenue have also glorified and Inspired the agriculture of the state. Colonel Smith has confined his campaign to a single section of tho state and It Is to be presumed thnt ho covets most of nil the Indorsement of his Imme diate neighbors, nnd that within this limited sphere he hopes to build up a following which will give him n commanding Influence In case of a locked convention Thu farmer candidate has freely given nnd received hts blows In this campaign. He has been criticized and abused and his personal character Impugned. Hut he has nlways responded gamely nnd powerfully to every assault and he will doubtless come nut of the contest moru respected nnd more Influential than he ever was before. Col. JOHN H. ESTILL, of Chnthnm, Is tho only candi date who has passed through this blistering campnlgn without n stab or n stroko upon his personal character. With the single exception of tho bitter feud which has been voiced In the encounter between the redoubtable Colonel D. G. Purse and himself, the candidate of South Georgia has received U|Hin his mailed breast no blows of venom nnd no shafts of slander or abuse. Ho has pur sued a tranquil and unruffled way, moving with skill nnd dignity over the field of battle, meeting his friends, mak ing bis speeches nnd relying upon n record of remurk- able business capacity’and success. With a large for tune amassed by the patient and Intelligent methods applied to the greut profession of Journalism, Ho has been for more thnn a score of years the eximnent and voice of that great section of South Georgia whose metraiiolis and capital Is the beautiful city of Savannah. There cun be no doubt that if the ballots of Georgia should cat! him to the capital. Colonel Kstill would make a sound and safe executive, nnd that neither the state's credit nor repututlon would suiter for n moment In his effec tive hands. RICHARD RUSSELL has run perhaps the gameyt and cleverest race of them all. He started with such small hoiies and with such apparently pitiful possibilities of success that hts appearance In this last lap of the race near the front of the procession, running almost neck and nock with the foremost candidate, is a colossal and Inspiring tribute to the brains and the energy of this remarkable man. Without money, without a ring be hind him, without friends except the faithful few Ins true as steel to hts cause), he has by the sheer force of his eloquence, his earnestness and his persistent courage lit erally forced himself to the front rank of the candidates, and there are those who say that If the campaign lasted for three weeks longer his very speed and qualities | would put hint neck and neck with the foremost man in admires courage and earnestness can fall to give unstint ed admiration to the magnificent race which Richard Russell, of Winder, has run. The'hearts of the people are with him. They have been won by his self-evident kinship to themselves and the public will be astonished by the size of the vote In the Wednesday primaries. CLARK HOWELL, ot The Constitution, has lived a life of sunshine and good-fellowship In Georgia. He has sprinkled a thousand kindnesses over the fertile soil ot good men's hearts, and the fruits of his sowing have come back to him In this crisis of his life. Probably the following of no man in this race is so largeiy and so warmly personal as that <jf the editor of The Constitu tion. His genial nature, his kindly speech, bis long ser vices In the legislature, In the sanetdm and upon state and national committees of his party and In many forums of public discussion—all have given him such a hold upon the people that It Is difficult to estimate It, although It la not difficult to understand. The Georgian feels that It rendered Mr. Howell a special service In diverting him from the mistake of his earlier canvass to a more tram qull and amiable form of discussion. By bolding the watch upon him In hla first debate with Hoke 8mlth In Atlanta we called hla attention aa It had never been called before to the preponderance of the personal ele ment In hla argument for the suffrage of the slate. And with the good judgment which has always distinguished him, Mr. Howell saw the point, changed hla tactics to hla own natural and amiable style and has presented from that time forth hla canvass upon a different and better plane, .and has unquestionably bettered bis prospects and multiplied hla .friends every day since hla change of front. It should be said to hla credit that with the predictions of the politicians against him he has fought out hla campaign with a courage and an energy rarely surpassed. He has not seemed for a moment to recognise the danger or the possibility' of defeat, but against evil and good report—upon th* hustings and In tho forum and In the columns of his newspaper, he has fought with unflagging faith and with consummate skill In the political arena, With powerful friends behind him and with superb agencies sustaining htm In hla great newapaper, Mr, Howell hna missed no point and skipped no advantage, and In this closing hour he Is fighting as cheerily and aa audaciously as If tbe fight had just begun. Whether he wins or loses In Wednesday's battle he can have no conscience qualms of efTorta slighted or oppor tunities neglected In this cnmpalgn. And whether he be governor of Georgia or continues to occupy the even more Influential station of editor of The Constitution, he will continue to be the toast of hla friends and one of the strongest and most popular men of Georgia nnd of the South. HOKE SMITH'S SPLENDID ISOLATION! has been tho notable and effective thing In his great campaign. Aa little as his opponents may realize it. It has been of the strongeat forces thnt have made hla remarkable fob South lowing. As has been said ot him by one of the strongest and most eloquent of his champions, "he has met In the arena every shape of, man and of politician and hat never yet lowered hla arm. From the beginning until the clos ing hour It has been Hoke Smith against the field. He has literally fought them all. Every personal force In Georgia, and- nearly every forceful politician hae seem ed J6 be ranged In solid rank against him. It has been charged that every opposing candidate has held it to be bis first duty to himself and to bis section to elect blm- self, and his second duty to defeat Hoke 8mlth. Whether this be true or not It li at least evident to the casual and the Impartial observer of The''Georgian that the campaign baa been held by two factions, one for Hoke Bmlth and the other composed " ase opposing him. That he has fought boldly and nult.-.htngly no lover ot fact or of truth can deny. He has met everything that has asked him and had a right to ask htm to meet them, He has faced and fought every oppoaltlon that was flung against Atm and, without a whine or a whimper and with out a complaint against the overwhelming odds, he has carried tbe sword of hla logic and fiercest flash of hla eye Into the thickest o,‘ the tray. And wherever the field was the reddest and the fight the fiercest, tbe great bulk of this isolated candidate has loomed up unterrlfled and terrible to hla adversaries. In summing up the merits of the campaign it occurs to the Impartial observer In the watch tower of The Georgian that this has been the worst mistake the oppoaltlon has made from the June of 1905 to the August of 1908. The practical unanimity of the opposition baa awakened for Mr. Spilth tbe sympathy of the people of Georgia who from time immemorial havo always been disposed to take sides with the fellow who was fighting the field. The splendid Isolation into which this notkbte opposition has forced Mr. Smith In his cam paign has been a better card than almost any one he could have played himself. This one man, standing as he has claimed to stand from the beginning, as the cham pion of tbe rights and the' interests of the common peo ple and of the Caucasian race and fighting as one man against four men, has been a spectacle that has apiiealed to the people of Georgia In the most dangerous and effec tive way. Not many mistakes have been made by the oppoaltlon in this campaign, but the one great mistake Is to have permitted such an alignment as to have framed Hoke Smith In n splendid Isolation as the people's cham pion fighting against all Ihe.forceB of opposition In the state. Well, the battle will he over within three days. The field of the primaries rushes white on on.- sight and the clans are all gathered In battle array. The eyes of the people who form the army of the reserve which Is to turn the scale of battle In this mighty struggle, must lie kept clear nnd undlmmed .In tho comprehension of the Issues which dominate the personalities of the campaign. Not men but measures, not personalities but policies. Not the politicians but the people, not the office but the state. With this shibboleth let the ballot proceed. Let the great people pass upon the man who shall represent In best and truest form the measures, tho pollcfM and tho principles In which they believe. The battle la on and may the best man with the beat platform win on Wednesday for Georgia and for the Growth and Progress of the New South A Week’s Developments The Georgia and Alabama Industrial Index, published at Columbus, Oa., has now reached Its tenth number. Its special Held Is the Industrial growth of the South, and particularly of these two stntes. It will give each week, In succinct form, the latest and most accurate Information of Industrial en terprises and new buildings of various kinds. The current Issue Is replete with Information of this kind: "Continuous and Increasing Industrial development In Georgia and Ala bama Is revealed by the reports of new enterprises and the enlargement of established Industries In this week’s Issue of The Index. A feature of the week's news Is the decision of various progressive cities In the two states to pave streets, Install sewerage systems and make other improvements of a public character. The erection of new school houses and the enlargement of present educational facilities Is also a marked feature. “Among the new enterprises of the week are 5 banks, bottling plant, business college, 22 corporations, artoalan well, 2 cotton exchunges, 1 gas plant, 2 Ice factories, & insurance companies, 3 churches, city hall, court house, 2 depots, library, Masonic temple, paving plans of four cities, 1 postoftlcc building, many new residences, sewerage systems projected by 3 cities, 9 school houses, telephone exchange, Young Men’s Christian Associ ation building, 2 warehouses, waterworks systems projected, 4 lumber com panies, 3 mining companies, neckwear factory, plow factory, poultry farm, 3 power plants, charters for two railroads applied for apd considerable rail road extension projected, showcase factory, soda water plant, steamboat line, 10 new business houses, fertiliser factory.’’ &hi &ottiecorks ‘N The art preservative of arts Is one of tbe greatest ‘the race.

To the Editor of The Georgian: Os Welle, of Newberry, who ttvo years ago gained for himself quite a reputation as a poet while making the race for county commissioner, has again made his appearance In the county Campaign for re-election, and circulars, containing "a few disagree able rhymes,” In his own wordy, have been scattered broadcast over the county, The poet laureate of Newber ry, during the last raco for this office, delighted to term himself "The One- F.yecT Mocking Bird," but he has now dropped such noma de plume and hla poems appear over hla signature. In his first poein Mr. Wells pay respects to a "bad Jumping cow," , _ Ing the following to say regarding the campaign: "It Is disagreeable to remove the beam So you can see the mote, Or to be hampered with an obnozlous law that you can't solicit a vote. Or to see a muster ground bully try ing to raise a row; But tbero is nothing so disagreeable as a bad Jumping cow." At the conclusion of six verses along this strain the poet then becomes quite reminiscent, taking himself back to his childhood dnys before the wnr, nnd pays homage to tho "Old .Contort." Tho closing verse ot this latter l< as fol lows: "We are taxed with tolls and cares, Our shoulders stooped with the weight of many years; We once stood erect, considered kind and brave, But now we arc leaning, bending over the grave." At the conclusion of these two rhymes, and apparently ns a last ap peal to the voter for his ballot anil support, the muse bursts forth In Joy ful accents, exclaiming: "Boys, don't pay any attention to what you hear about my hoary locks. But drop my name In the ballot box,” after which It Is left to the voter. In the meantime Mr. Wells Is receiving, assurances from his many friends throughout the county thnt he will he re-elected by a handsome majority. Should these predictions prove true, the people of Newberry- will hnve an other opportunity to rend a selection or two from the pen of the poet lau reate, Ills Invariable custom being to thank the voters In rhyme for their support at the ballot box. The primary will be held the latter part of August. HARRY W. DOMINICK. Newberry, 8. C. By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER. • ■ VV . / New York, Aug.
