THUBSDAf. MARCH 6 1902
Spain, poor Spain! her latest sun is
sinking.
By this time even South Carolina
must be growing tired of Tilman.
Senator Clay has pushed through
the senate a bill appropriating $200,-
000 for a mai me hospital at Sayan
nah.
The heave rains of last Friday did
great damage ail over the country.
Several railroad wrecks have resulted
from swoolen streams and washouts,
Chariman Dußignon, of the state
democratic executive committee, an
nounces that the committee will con
vene in a few weeks and fix the date
for the primary. The primary will
likely be held in May or June.
Pnsident Palma, recently elected
to the head of the Cuban government,
will early pull up stakes m the Unit
ed States and go to see about the
honor. He has been in this country
for twenty years and may long wish
he had remained here. His enemies
in Cuba are many and they may make
life a little unpleasant for him. Pal
ma is a good and safe man but such
virtues do not always constitute a
suitable shield.
A twenty per cent, cut in tariff is
proposed for Cuba. That is a little
help but the crumb is entirely too
small. We went to Cuba with the
humanitarian spirit; we drove out
the persecutor; we sent away the per
jecutois trade; we took supervision
of foreign treaties; we put a com
mercial bainer between tLe little is
land ana Europe; we put them where
they must find a market in the United
States or perish. And in the face of
this we propose a tariff wall over
which they can hardly climb. It
looks very much like the beet sugar
industries have absorbed the human!-
tarian spirit and shoved a bit of sei
fishness to the front.
Charles Broadway Rouss died in
New York Monday. He was well
advanced in years and his record
shows that his long life was not one
ahifiessness. He was born in Mary
land, grew wealthy in Virginia, lost
bis fortune in the civil war and a
massed another in New York. In ’73
the merchant prince failed, but got on
his feet again and died with millions
in his grasp. He was generous with
hie money and the cause of charity
found him a willing helper. He was
devoted to the South and to the con*
federate cause. He died an unre
constructed rebel. The lite of Mr.
Kouss illustrates what there is in
jkpluck and persistence. His idea was
■•Bmo wait tor opportunity but to
go aLer it. He went, he conquered.
He demonstrated that poverty is no
barrier against wealth.
The labor question is getting seri
one all over the country. The ne
groes are Socking to the towns and
cities and the fields are left without
hands to till. The farmers in Geor
gia are feeling the effect of it; the es
feet is being felt all over the south.
The laborer must be had or ruination
will follow. Where is be to come
from? Some argue for the China
man, but the yellow man is not likely
to get here. His habits and price
make him undeeirabh, in pairs of
Louisiana and Texas the Italian and
the Mexican have been brought in
and the Mexican has filled the place
right well, better than the Italian.
The Mexican man is close to us, can
be pulled across the border without
much trouble and bo may be the so
lation of the problem. What the
negro will do is vet to be seen. Not
many professions are open to him,
and, if education lakes him from ag
ncelxure and industry, he will become
a knotty proposition tor himself and
Lieutenant Governor Tilman,
brother of the noted Benjaman, head
ed a movement to buy a sword for
Maj. M. J. Jenkins and wrote a let
ter inviting Roosevelt to deliver It
during his visit to Charleston. When
Roosevelt canceled the invitation in
viting Senator Tilman to the state
dinner m honor of Prince Henry
Lieutenant Tilman canceled the invi
tation inviting Roosevelt to deliver
the sword. He seems to have acted
independently in this matter, and
the contributors looked upon the act
as inadvisable. Following this the city
council of Charleston and the direct
ors of the Charleston exposition sat
down upon the Lieutenant Governor
by renewing the invitation calling
Roosevelt to Charleston and appoint
ing special committees to carry reso
lution to the President. Roosevelt
will make the trip to South Carolina.
NOT A CANDIDATE.
Col. James Expresses Thanks
For Proffered Support Bat
Will Not Enter Race.
Editor New South:
I see you have
on several occasions mentioned me as
a probable candidate foi senator from
this district. I write to say I have
not been, am not now, and do not
expect to be a candidate for this of
fice lam very grateful to my friends
in this ccunty, as well as the other
counties in the district who have urg
ed me to become a candidate. I don’t
teei at this time that-1 could do so,
without great sacrifice to business
affairs, which claim my immediate
and continuous attention. And while
each and all of the other gentlemen
who have been mentioned as possible
candidates for this position have
said to me if 1 would run they would
support me and not become candi
dates themselves, I do not feel
that I could afford at present to
accept the position, if tendered to me
without opposition. For all of those
whose names have been mentioned 1
entertain the kindest consideration
especially when they offer to lay
aside their own aspiration and sup
port me should I become a candidate.
I do not wish to be understood as
not appreciating the almost unani
mous support the people of thia coun
ty and other sections have given me
when heretofore a candidate for of
fice. Such is not the case. I have
tried to show my gratitude for the
trust copfided to me by filling each
of these places to the best of my
ability, both as to the party to which
I belong and these of other parties.
While put of‘office 1 am a democrat,
In office I’ev been ah officer without
partisonship.only filling the positions
as my duty required me to do toward
all alike. And so far as my acts are
concerned us a member of either
branch of the General Assembly of
this state and cs an official of the
United States Government for the
Northern district of Georgia they are
without censure so far as 1 know or
have heard. Ido not claim my ree
ord is without mistakes. For of all
the long line of duties required of me
in the different position it would be
next to imposibie if 1 did not in some
instances make mistakes. But one
thing I do claim is my duties were
conscientiously performed. At least
I believe all my public acts will suc
cessfully withstand any attack made
upon them. Again extending my
personal and highest regards for any
consideration that has been given me,
concerning the candacy above named,
and trusting our people may select
the one most suited to fill this posi
tion all things considered,
I am very truly yours,
J. 8. James.

Douglasville, Ga.
Having recently rebuilt and refitted this
place, I have returned in commercial par
lance to my first love, where I have a well
adapted place for carrying on my business
better than heretofore, with renewed energy
and to the best of-my skill and ability.
I have been in the mercantile business nearly
all of my life, but to say that I know all
its details would be egotism in me to make
this assertion, for I have yet much to learn.
It shall be my high purpose to entertain
delight and please you. Cotton seed, cot
ton seed meal and hulls will still be one of
my important adjuncts aid when you want to
seller buy see Mr. V. R. Smith who has charge
of this department.
Yours truly,
