A Run For His Money.
When It li seen that William It.
Hearai ran more than fifty thousand
votes behind his ticket his luce does
not seem so creditable as It did at
first glance. To ho the only one 011
the democratic ticket defeated In
New York Is something of a stern re
buke to Hearstiam. no matter how the
missing fifty thousand may be ac
counted for. The pluralities of the
other candidates In Oreater Now York
were far ahead of Mr. Hearst, and
the fact Is troubling a good many
supporters of the defeated candidate.
The News and Courier sees In It
treachery on the part of Tammany.
It aaya:
"Tammany Hall would probably bn
able to account for tho difference In
the vote. It appears to be keeping
squarely to Its record for political dtt
puclty. and Hearst's defeat may be
credittt.l safely to the had faith of
the Tatnany jreople who promised him
their loyal support. If this be the
true explanation of his undoing, he
has only suffered the fate which has
befallen other candidates who have
placed any confidence In the pledges
of the most corrupt, political organtza
t.on In the country. Had Taininany
proved true to Its pledges he would
have received tho same pluralities In
New York City received by the other
candidates on his ticket, and with
their vote he would have overcome
the Hughes vote up-state and been
elected Governor "
There are, however, s great many
other reasons why Mr. Hearst should
have fallen behind ihe rest of the
ticket- The campaigu has been one
of personalities, and there are many
persons in the democratic ranks who
for one reason or another were op
posed to Hearst. Ills methods of
journalism have worked to his detri
ment among the better element. The
large influence of Mayor McClelland
was thrown against him.. In Brook
lyn McCarren worked ardently to de
feat him. aud there were scores of
other minor but active democrats
who fought him desperately.
Hearst's own methods were respou
gible for the knifing he received from
hfa own party. But without the meth
ods he employed he would probably
not hare been able to obtain the nomi
nation, ao his methods must be taken
Into consideration. Mr. Hearst says
he will continue to fight In the ranks.
If he fights at all that must be his
position. There Is nothing else lett
him to run for. and Ills chance* ot the
Democrstlc nomlnstiuu y> 190# arc
blotted out. \
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TAKES VP THE
MATTER QF IMPROVING THE SAVANNAH.
The announcement that the Chamber of Commerce will at once
take up the mater of the Improvement of the Savenah la most gratify
ing and meets with the approval of the entire city. Some days ago The
Herald suggested earnest effort along this line, pointing out the neces
sity of early action if anything Is to be accomplished at the coming aea
alon of Congress. That this suggsstlou Is to be followed out at once, and
the Chamber of Commerce la to e*ert Its effort* in Washington, should
mesn that the Savannah river is ro be Included in whatever river* and
harbor* bill |« put through Congress this *es*lon.
The National Hirer* end Harbor* CongreM* ,wlll meet
In Washington early In December and the Chamber of Commerce
will meet on Monday to discus* the advisability of being represented at
this convention. A delegate should be *ent from August* by all means,
Though thl* convention will represent practically the entire country, a t
great deal may be accomplished By properly representing the needs of
this section at the meeting.
Georgia hsa now no member upon the house committee on rivers
and harbors, since the unfortunate death of Congressman Rufus E Lester,
of the First district. Mr. Lesters Interest wa* heartily enlisted In the
cause of Hie Savannah river and bl* absence will be something of a blow
to the movement during the session this winter. The rivers and harbor*
appropriation bill at the session about to begin give* promise -of being
s generous one. No bill wa* passed at the last session for the benefit,
of Interior water ways and the consequent accumulations of requests for
such donations will prove a burden to the committee In charge of this
work. Ha estimate* will necessarily have to leave out a great many re
quests from various sections and the final appropriation will probably not
come up to the estimate submitted to the house. This fart makes It alt
the more Imperative that action ao important to the welfare of the city’s
future should be taken at once. ( ,
Resides tho regular members of the committee who may show some
favor to the Savannah there are Senators Bacon and Clay and Congress
man Hardwick, all of whom were active last winter in pushing the
claims of tue business men of this section. They, of course, may b»-
counted upon to eiert all their influence at the coming aession. Work
ing through such sources, It Is quite probable that the Chamber of Com
merce will accomplish a great deal In this movement, which Is one of
vital Importance to the city of Augusta.
The Obligation of the North.
The following from the Manchester
uAlon contain* several points of In
terest apropos of the immigration
movelnent and the labor question In
gm-ral a* It now affects the south:
"Hoke Smith, governor-elect of Geor
gia. Intends. It Is said, to go abroad
sometlmo before his Inauguration
next June. In order lo study the Ku
ropeau emigration problem at clous
k range. He dcsl-es to reach the best
classes of emigrants across the water
and turn the tide of such emigration
in Amcrlra Into his state.
Governor-elect Smith's plan thus
far appears to be worthy of com
mendation. He will have an oppor
tunity of studying the needs and as
pirations of Europeans who con
template coming to this country, and
he will pick up a lot. of valuable in
formation. One thing, however, In
connection with the plan seems a bit
selfish, If not chimerical. Mr. Smith
Is quoted a a expressing the opinion
I «hat a steady Influx of high-class Ini
migrants would In time result In drlv-
Ing many negroes out of Georgia.
But where will these negroes go?
To some other southern state? Or In
droves to the northern states? They
must live somewhere, and Ihe prob
ablllly of their leaving the United
States altogether Is remote. More
over. ther,< are multitudes of Industrl- j
nus negroes in Georgia whose labor
rould not be duplicated by European
Immigrants. Of this phase of Mr.
Smith's plan, the public might tea
sonatdy demand elucidation."
The point upon which we would lay |
stress Is one which emphasizes a
fact that ts beginning to be rather
amusing In the case of a few north
cm contemporaries. Of late, at any
suggestion from tl»ls section that the
negro population may eventually trek
northward, several well-known jour
nalistic friend* of tho race in the
north, have showed unmistakable
signs of nervousness. In the sbovo
the Manchester Cnlon undoubtedly
begins to fidget.
Wo do not believe that there will
ever occur un> real exodus of ne
groes to the north, simply because
they are wanted hqre more than they
are in the north, when all .the facts
are known. But we do not see why
the Union or any otffer northern au
j thority show grow at all anxteus over
such a possibility. Now that after
forty years of northern meddling It
becomes possible that the negro may
desire to trek a home In that section,
|lt appears at least Inconsistent, that
his frtrnds In the northern states
| should begrudge him soma sort of
habitation.
Recent changes in the cabiuct have
suggested the question of how many
time* the various states have been
represented In that official group.
I Georgia has had tdght men lu the
j cabinet since the government was
organized. New York leads with
thim uud Pennsylvania with twenty
six. '
Mrs. Burton, wife of the convict sen
ator. Is glad that her husband has bceu
sent to Jail because "It removes him
from association with the trust taiuted
senate.” We do not know which seat
Senator Burton occupied, but his wife
may not be far wrong
—♦—
With regard to the northern malls
the I'ostofflce seem* Inclined to do
nothing today that may be put off
! until tomorrow.
i Mr Hearst probably think* now
that It t* unlucky after all to cast one's
i vote In au undertaking establishment.

The re-election of Mr, Longworth
shows a disposition of the U. O. P.
to rub u ul
16 0,000,000 For
the Farmer .
Apropos of diversified farming, the
following Information front Ihe maga
zine ''Farming'' Is Interesting. That
publication says:
"The United States imports annual
ly about $60,000,000 worth of drugs
and dyes made from products that
could be grown In the United States
just as well. Camphor now sells for
25 cents a pound, and, while not an
ounce of it Is grown In this country,
Ihe government has demonstrated
that camphor trees are successful
here. Licorice root is another thing
that )>osnesses gr<%| possibilities. The
department of agriculture has demon
strated that, the licorice plant Is
hardy as far north as Pennsylvania.
Belladouna.has also been shown to do
well In good garden soil.”
It Is such facts as these that the es
tablishment of an agricultural college
will make common knowledge among
farmers. Thousands of dollars may
easily be accumulated “on the side"
by the planter who knows just what
his land Is capable of producing
There are hundreds of products that
can easily be made in Ihe South today
that many farmers have never heard
of simply through the absence of such
an information bureau as the agricul
tural college should be. This is an
outer good argument in favor of es
tablishing the Tenth District Agricul
tural College in Richmond County.

An eminent lawyer with a large
practice before the supreme court of
the United States enjoys telling of a
tremendous jolf to bis youthful vanity
in the early days when he made a
specialty of criminal cases
He had been retained by a man
charged with larceny In Pennsylvania,
aud as the evidence was conclusive,
had advised his client to plead guilty.
"You have a bad record, you know,"
said the lawyer, "and you have prac
tically confessed your guilt. I should
say that you will be sentenced to
about three years."
This last completely dumfounued
the accused. He looked about Uls
cell vacantly for several minutes be
fore turning to his attorney. .When
he did It was to say:
“Will you kindly step out and get
me a good lawyer?"—Harper's Week

Amaxio's cries had been heard. His
fellow-workmen rushed to the great
grain pit. They saw him for a second
and then the surface closed over him
as it had over the tnau whose life he
had sought to save.
The worumen stopped not a sec

der of the pit. tney rushed to th<
street. Axes clove the cleats at the
chutes that run from the bottom of
the p.«. to the street will, where grain
is loaded like steam coal. The tor
rent of grain rushed forth, a score of
meu with snovels pushing it to one
side to give the hurrying mass behind
it room Suddenly they screamed with
Joy. The body of Amezlo shot down
the chute. Ho was seized, carried In
side and an ambulance was stain on

first cry was for Dolan. lUs foreman.
The men about him stood aghast.
It was the first they knew of Dolan

Sierras," was born at Wabash, Ind:,
Nov. 10, 1841, and went to Oregon
with his parents nine years later. He
became Interested in mining lu Cali
fornia. but in 1860 he returned to
Oregon, studied low and later became
an editor. In 1870 he went to London,
where he published his first book of
poems. Afterwards he returned to
Washington, where he was a news
paper man for several years. Again,
however, the call of the “Great West"
took him to Oakland in 1887, where
he has made his home since. The past
summer, however, he spent In the
