A Lesson to the Negro Race.
Tb<* recent order of the president
discharging three com panic* of negro
soldier* from the array ha* brought
about a dlscuaelou which haa devel
oped many Interesting polnta. The
incident, while disagreeable, may
leach the race a very valuable lesson
In regard to It* position toward negro
criminals. It has often been said
that negroes themselves, should they
resolve to exert their efforts properly,
could do much toward driving out
crime from among themaalvca. The
attitude of theae negro soldiers, how
ever. In resolutely shielding the mur
darars of Texas citizens and refusing
to disclose their Identity, must he
moat discourse Ing to the best element
of negroes.
Such a disposition, not only in the
army but elsewhere, must prove In
the end disastrous to the whole race.
The attitude of negro ministers In
Dels ware is more encouraging. Ac
cording to a news dispatch:
"The negro ministers of the Ten
tarrtlle circuit of the Methodist
church In Delaware have formed an
association and pledged themselves
to ‘denounce all crime and inwloex
nets' and to asalrt the acthoritk* by
every means In their rower to bring
to Justice those guilty of any
Violations. Too often negro violator
•f the law are shielded and hidden
by negroes merely because of their
•olor. The way to make the law re
spected la to enforce it, without re
spect of aolor.“
Had the members of the three dis
graced companies of negro soldiers
revolved upon such a course they
would have f"uud their way much
easier and their action benetlnul to
the ten million negroes now inhabit
ing the country, rntll the race realt
ies that It* beat policy lies In aiding
lu the detection of criminals It can
hope to make but little progress
The negroes discharged were not .«
lot of youngsters but lately enlisted,
as many persons tbluk. These com
patties had served In the ranks for
thirty or forty years and many of the
men were on the eve of being honor
ahly discharged with pensions Non
they are barred even from being em
ployed by the government and may
tlnd it dlffldKt to make a living. But
tne lesson may serve a good purpose
among the soldiers themselves and
smong the rest of the race
The tact that Ova billion button.- arc
tuade annually In this country t» little
consolation to the ninu who Is trying
to draj one from - beneath tin bureau
with the U)C*». i
Today 'a Meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce.
The meeting of the Directors of the
Chaff!her of Commerce which Is call
ed for this evening Is one of great
importance to Augusta. It will mark
the beginning of endeavor on the part
of the Chamber of Commerce to se
cure from Congress the needed ap
propriation for Improving the Savan
nah River Channel below Augusta.
The meeting should be attended by
every member of the board who doee
not find it Impossible to do so. There
cannot be too much enthusiasm In
such a cause, end In pursuance of Its
pa at and present policy of energetic
and huHlnese-llke methods the Cham
ber of Commerce will go about this
matter In such a manner that success
must be assured
Dealdea discussing the Ravannah
river project the subject of tha Tenth
District Agricultural College will also
be taken up and furthor plana will be
suggested for carrying out tbla Mat
ter to a aucceaaftil conclualon. Theae
two matters, aa The Herald haa con
alitently endeavored to Impreea upon
the people, are well worth the beat
efforts of the Chamber of Commerce
and of the cooperation of ovary busi
ness man in the County.
The business interest of the city
will watch the Chamber of Commerce
with close attention during the Im
mediate future. It hae already at
tracted favorable attention by the
good work it has accomplished and
the organisation Is now endowed with
a confldanee of th« public which can
not but he useful to It In Its work.
The results of tonight's meeting will
be regarded with especial Interest.
Ministers More Effective.
Not many parsons wtU agree with
the opinion of a writer who recently
contributed to the press alt article
upon the "decay of preaching." Thai
tha art. If It may be so termed, of
holding the ettentlon of congregations
‘upon religious subjects Is anything
! but on a decline must be the opin
ion of every on 0 who attends devlnt
services at all.
The minster of the present day has
undoubtedly a great deal more to con
tend with than did the devtne of one
hundred years ago. In the old days,
when then length of the aermon was
joften stated In term* of hours, going
! to church was almost compulsory and
! ..(-re was never any cause for effort
(on the part of the minister to see that
his church members were In their
pews. Inattention was almost a
ertme and even small children sat pa
tiently through long discourses of
which perhaps the preacher himself
bail but a vague understanding. It
wne not even necessary for him to at
tempt to b*. Interesting.
But nowadays there are muuy
Churches. Persons may stay away
from them without fear of losing the
respect of ,ho community. And one
may even dare to deliberately rise
ami leave the church as the aermon
begins. What docs this moan to the
ministers? It signifies that he has a
great deal to overcome. He must In
terest his congregation and bold its
members to the subject against great
odds. The minster of today undoubt
edly preaches lo a greater average In
telligence than he of a century ago
had to speak to. He must think in
dependently and appeal to minds
which are not near so Inclined toward
subjects of theology as were those of
the old das’.
Considering these phases of the
subject, along with many others that
! affect it. "the decay of preaching'”
has no meaning. While tho minister
of today la doubtless morn of a prac
tical Christian and less of tha theo
logain than be would have been a
hundred years a*;o he it aI no more In
teresting and inoro effective.
Work of the Y. M. C. A.
in accordance with the general
policy of tlw Institution, several Im
provement# have lately taken place In
the athletic branch of the local Young
Men's Christian association. The gym
i tt.tslum of the Y. M. C. A. la a popu
lar resort In Augusta, especially dur
ing the winter months when young
men arc denied the out door sports.
The officer# of the Augusts branch
say that interest in the gymnasium at
present Is most encouraging and
never before in the history of the as
sociation has more enthusiasm been
displayed In this work. Secretary
Hill and Physical Director Ockert
arc doing a good work lu Augusta
and with the splendid equipment now
available the progress of the institu
tion toward even greater success will
doubtless be rapid.

Preparing For Visitors.
| The local hotels are preparing to
accommodate a large number of no riff*
arn visitors during rhe coming kea
sou, snd many* Improvements arc
now being made In the two splendid
resorts, the Hon Air and the Hampton
Terrace. Many transformatlona are
taking place in the Bon Air hotel and
Its regular guests will meet with
some pleasant surprises with refer
•net to thu arrangements lu the In
telor when they arrive. The Hamp
ton Terrace Hotel Is being repainted
and thoroughly overhauled prepara
tory to receiving fts guests.
These aro encouraging signs. Au
gusta has already come to be known
as one of the best wtntsr resorts to
which the winter resident ilkes to
Use from the stinging winds of the
north. The climate here Is not oqutle.l
In many sections and surpassed In
none. The Increasing number of win
ter residents promises to be soon too
large to find accommodation in the
hotels now at hand and the predic
tion of an enthusiastic citizen that
Augusta will aomo day be enctrolec
by splendid winter hostelrie* and
homes may not be far from the truth.

Opinions of the Press on tfcarst’s Defeat.
(From tha Baltimore News.)
Not only the working masses and the
people who feel the stress of poverty,
but the grant bulk of the entire people
of the country, and especially of the
people of New York, have been pro
foundly stirred up by revelations of
corruption and the exposure of law
less and oppressive practices on the
part of great financial magnates and
corporations Now. lu the face of this
condition of things, Hearst has been
decisively .defeated —that la, he has
been beaten by the plruallty excep
tionally largo for New York In an of*
year. Instead of being swept into or
lice upon a wave of popular discon
tent, he has manifestly failed to poll
a vote anything like as laege as would
have been polled by any representa
tive democrat who had championed
with sobriety the cause that Hearst
represented In hysterical, inflamma
tory, and demagogic fashion.
(From the Charleston News uni
Courier.)
With Mr. Hearst defeated, the chat
ter about a third term for Mr. Roose
velt will probably cease, and this is
a result of Tuesday's elections sure
to bring relief to sober-minded dome,
j crate and republicans alike through
out the country. The republicans uave
discovered a man who can can-v V"w
( Yirtk, and this raises him to the rank
of a presidential possibility, a ran*
to which no other republican, except
the president, had hitherto proved a
clear title.

(From the Richmond News-Leader)
Returns from New York show tie
democrats of tho state and of the
country what deep resentment they
owe Hearat. As he did in the presi
dential campaign of 1904. Ho In New
York this year he thrust and bouglt
himself with hl» mountebank methods
i Into a situation which was promising
until ho came and spoiled everything.

O Ye Tearsl
The president of one of the well
known colleges tells this story of one
of his professors of chemistry.
It seems tnat the professor and his
wife had not agreed upon some do
mestic question, the professor assert
ing that his means would not war
rant the expense Involved. HU wife
had used all her powers of persuasion
without grail, and at last resorted to
the final feminine expedient—a flood
of tears. At this the professor picked
up his hat. but paused to remark:
"You might save yourself the trou
ble of that, my dear; your tear* have
nhsolutelv no effect upon me. Why
should they, being nothing but com
mon water with a very small percent
age of phosphorous salts and a trace
of chloride of sodium?’’ —Harper's
Weekly.
Daft, But Canny.
Frederick Ireland, a atenographer of
the House of Representatives, at tho
convention at Atlantic City of the Na
tional Asaoclatlon of Stenographers,
said, apropos of a rash course:
"I can't approve of this action, be
cause I am a foe to rashness. In hand
ling the affairs of a great body of
men 1 believe In prudence and careful
ness. I am almost as prudent and
careful aa thu weak-minded Scot of i
Peeblua.
"This Scot, a silly look on his face,;
was skating near the famous Iron j
bridge of Peebles on a winter day.
"Some young ladioe wished to skate j
under the bridge, but they did not
know whether the ice was safe or not.
So, approaching the Scot, tho young
est and prettiest of them said:
“ 'Sanders, would you mind Just;
gilding under the bridge and back, so |
as to test the Ice?’
"The half-witted Sanders took off
bis cap and with a bow and a smile :
he replied:
*' 'Na, na! If I am daft I ken man- j
nors. Leddlea first."' —Philadelphia
Bulletin.
After doing one thing, do you not j
often wish that you had done the
other?
I prove his sincerity In the meanwhile,
and his well-known pertinacity will
be apt to cause him to run for gov
j ernor In 1908. If so, the recent cam
paign will have been but the prelude
of a popular movement outrunning
anything this country has ever known.
(From the Norfolk Landmark.)
Nobody can keep Mr. Hearst from
running for office as long as he has
the money to attract a following. A*
long as people suport his newspapers
enough to make them profitable he
has an engine of publicity which will
keep him before the country as a dan
gerous, Irresponsible force. But -he
voters of New York state gave the yel
low candidate a black eve Tuesday
which will seriously dampen his ardor
and looks like the begiuniug of his
complete repudiation.

(From the Charleston News and Com.
rier.)
Anyhow, Mr. Hearst has been fully
vindicated as a danger signal.
(From Leslies Weekly.) |
The year 15)00 has seen an unusual
ly large number of editors in the role;
of aspirants to political office. A con
test for the democratic nomination for
governor of Georgia, which raged over
twelve months, and which recently
ended, had three editors and one ex
peditor as participants. The ex-editor,
Hoke Smith, ex-secretary of the In
terior under Cleveland, who was until
recently at the head of the Atlanta
Journal carried off the prize. Clark
Howell of the Atlanta Constitution
was the most proraiuont and popular
of tile unsuccessful aspirants. Two
editors—William J. Bryan and William
R. Hearst—are working actively fur

i tiou in IBug.
Old-titners remember the ambitions
and rivalries of Horace Greeley of the
New A’ork Tribune, and Henry .T. Ray
mond of the New A’ork Times, for po
litical office. Greeley started out it
active life by condemning all editor*
who sought or would accept any po
litical station, and he ended by strh
| lug to get several offices, two ts
I which he did get, one of them being
representative in cougress. Greeley
was the only editor ever nominated

and pain.
When Sorrow smote me sore, 1 bowed
beneath
The buffeting ray bruised body bore;
When Grief, the specter, chilled me
with Its breath,
I looked toward the good in future s

I faltered never through the bitter

I chose my path and paid the pen

And at the coat, I cowered not with

But faced my lot with eyes that

But met unflinching, what had come

And drained it to the dregs—my

To fall and rise to greater heights

Editors in Politics.
of Seward, Weed Ac Greeley is this
day dissolved, by the withdrawal of
the junior partner.” Raymond served
in the legislature, in congress, and
also as lieutenant governor. His se
lection for some of these offices great-!
ly angered Greeley.
John Forsyth, in ediior of tho Mo
bile Register for many years, in the
days before the civil war, was, in the
ory, like Greeley, opposed to the‘hold
ing of office by editors, but he surren
derod at last to the seductions of pub

forty years, and who was even more
hostile. In the abstract, than was tor

charge of the administration's organ,

Polk's term. In 1819.
