Thu Atlanta Georgian, In 'discussing Mr. Hearst and his Independence par ty, delivers Itself of some peculiar comment In regard to the gubernato rial election. On this subject It says: Home hundred thousand votes were cast In the primary for Mr. Hmlth. The regular nominee was Mr. Brown. No doubt many men. Incensed by the defeat of their candidate and generally dis gruntled, will turn to this oppor tunity to vote against Mr. Brown. This may carry with It appport fur other than the regular Demo cratic presidential nominee -arid [Monocracy Is the sufferer, as usual. Hurely the Georgian Is Hi Informed and mistaken when It asserts that : many men, Incen >< d by the defeat iof their candidate, (Governor Smith) will turn to this opportunity (the candidacy of rapt Yancey Carter) to vote against Mr. Brown." Voters who are generally dlsgrun tied and who did not participate In the primary, are free to vote for Captain Carter. They will break no faith In doing ho. They will violate no moral obligation that rests upon them. They will do nothing that will endanger the future prospects of the state. Hut men who voted In the primary, whether they cast their bai- I lots for 1 .title Joe Brown or the pros-1 ent gr< at governor, are In honor hound to vote for Mr. Brown In the regular election. It must be borne In tnlnd that the primary was a white primary. No party bars went put up, because it Is recognised that party lines as they are drawn In national elections do not I apply to state matters, and It Is of j Inllnitely greater Importance In state i matter* for the white voters of the j state to present a solid front. Hence,! very wisely, tho slate Democratic i committee ruled, and two state Demo- I era tln conventions have sustained this ruling, that not only I’opullsts (who tit l really but a division of the j Democratic party) hut also Kepubil- ] cans, should lie admitted to the pri mary polia, the only Hue that was j drawn being the color line, In con- j sentience of this over 21M1.000 votes were cast, which represents practi cally the entire qualified white Vote of Ihe state. Of these voters no pledge was re- ! qulred, except that they support the I primary nominees In the general elec tion*. Populist* may vole for VVat son. Republicans may vote for Taft, and disgruntled Democrats may vote tor either of these or any other can didate, without violating their faith; but tn the state olectlon their faith slid their honor is pledged to vote for the nominee of the primary for governor, who Is lion. Joseph M. Brown. This applies to the supporters of Hon. Hoke Hnnth at well as to the sup jtorters of Mr Brown. If those who supported a eandl date In the white primary who was defeated In that primary were free to vole tor another candidate run In opposition to tho white primary nom inee at the regular election, then there would be no use for a white primary. The supporters of Hoke Hmlth. were they free to take this course and chose to do so, could de feat Mr. Brown, for she small lead he had over Mr Smith In the primary would he more than overcome by the vote which was excluded from the primary But If thin were done It would be the cud of the white primary syatem What would be the use of a white primary, ts Ita result was not binding* The white primary would be a tarce |t would (ail Into con tempt and would be discontinued And then again "hell would break looae ' In Georgia “ Faith and honor and common sense In the consideration of what ts best for the state, demand that every man who participated In the primary sup port Its nominees In the general - election, and the supporters of El eke Hmlth. deeply disappointed though ; they may bo, will not stultify them selves, as tho Georgian Intimates they will, by falling to sustain the white primary system against this assault that Is to be made on It in the put ting out of a candidate against the white primary nominee. CONVICTS. CHILDREN AND THE ROD. In connection with the convict tn veatlgatton an Incident has come to light which ta affording a subject for humorous commentators Thta I* the letter written to one of the legists tors, Mr IVan. of Floyd county, by his daughter, Jane It ta remembered how the aensa tton mongers had pressed the use of the Strap a* a disciplinary agi\it In the convict camps to the lore, and under the excitement created much was aatd tn condemnation of such a policy. Among those who took this side, and who were strong In their ex preaatons, wg* Mr, Daan. Hl* feeling then mgv he Imagined when he re ceived the follow lug letter from home; |X'«r IVad | see by today's pa per* that you have at last come to your senses on the subject of whipping My only regret l* that you did not see it that way when I wa* younger. JANE. Short as. Is this letter, there Is much In It that, may be read between Its lines, Mr. Dean was a father who was a thorough believer In Solomon s proverb: “Chasten thy son while there Is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying." He even ap plied It to his daughter, for she seems to have a very lively recollection of these corrective application* made to her when • she was younger. No doubt It seemed strange to this daugh ter. who had felt th ( . paternal rod or strap administered when a rebellious spirit required conquering, to read of her father standing up against giving the same treatment to convicts which he had given to his children. The Chicago Post Is led to make this spicy comment on "Jane’s" let ter: * Brooding memories, yes, and the lingering smart of childhood castigations, lurk between the lines, but. these are not the signl ftrarit feature of "Janes" note. What Impresses the general read er most Is that "Dear Dad” hag a solemn duty to perforin; the punishment of Janp’s youth fell one short of the needful num ber. and It behooves this Ro man father, sadly perhaps but. firmly, to Inflict the final spank ing upon his rhlld In the lan guage of the Immortal Cicero, Jane’s "got ope coming to her." But this I* wrong. The man who Is opposed to having the strap applied to obstreperous convicts when It be comes absolutely necessary to enforce discipline cannot with any degree of consistency resort to corporal punish ment with his own children. To In flict painful punishment on his chil dren and "spare not the rod for their crying, ’ while objecting to this same treatment for convicts would make It appear that he was more considerate of these than he was of his children. Ho ’’Jane.” If she really bus "got one more corning tn her” for the playfully sarcastle letter she wrote to "Dad," is safe. "Dad" has experienced a change of heart. He no longer be lieves In the ojfloacy of the rod. For It Is lneeneelvahle that a fatte r who would whip hls children, and do so because he honestly believed that rorporal punishment wag the best cor rective to apply In such cases, would object to the same treatment of con victs, who tn some respects are ltke Children and mußt he governed like cnlldren. THE SUCCESS OF THE DISTRICT NURSE EXPERIMENT ' The splendid work undertaken by ' | the Home Comfort Society and its j most practical charily of putting a dis trie nurse at work in Augusta has already demonstrated Its great help and usefulness. The district nurse hat had a great | many obstacles to but re j suits have more than 'Justified this I charity and the demund-wlll be lnsls ■ tent for Its rontlnuance. One of tho objections In the early a work of the ; district nurse, strange (Ip say, came j from some of the doctors.of the city on the ground that sb-k ‘people who j should go to the city hospital would i stay at home and wait for .the district 1 nurse. As the work has progressed, | this objection has been done away with, and some of these very doc- I tors when the hospttalg heroine crowd* i ed are discharging more rapidly the convalescent* and asking the district \ nurse to look In on them for n few days. In fart, the district nurse In [ her work is helping the doctors and the hospital work of the. city, and the ! doctor* are asking help of the district nurse In a way to Allow that they | now heiievo that there Is a necessity for the system here In Augusta. With the coming of tho fall and winter The Herald hope* to s«>e the system of district nursing firmly es tablished here In Augusta.

ATLANTA, Ga.—-Tho action of the directors of th 0 Central of Georgia railway in passing the interest on all of the classes of income bonds is be lieved by the holders of those bonds to strengthen their case, which comes up for trial in Savannah September Bth .according to a story published in Sunday's issue of the New York Times. The case, which will be heard in Savannah, was brought by a number of holders of income bonds, seekiiig to force the road to pay them their Interest on the income bonds. The story published by the New York Times follows la full, and will doubtless be of great interest to hold ers of Cenjral of Georgia railway bonds in the south: Last year, although the company’s net earnings were $40,000 greater than In the year which ended June 30 last, the income account shows a deficit of $4,398. Out of last year's earnings 5 per cent was paid on the $4,000,000 first incomes and three per cent on the $7,000,000 second incomes, there being a sum amounting to $448,126 available for these payments at the end of the fiscal year 1907. Nothing was paid on the $4,000,000 third in come bonds. It was the contention of the bond holders when they' Instituted legal ac tion last year that the road was ap propriating too large a proportion of Its Income to charges at the expense of the bondholders. The income ac count made public at the annual meet ing shows gross earnings of $11,658,- 651, against $12,082,777 last year. Tho net earnings were $2,589,581, compar ed with $2,470,561 in the previous, year. Other income brought the to tal up to $2,825,035, but an increase in interest, rentals, etc., from $2,340,- 374 to $2,829,133 left the deficit men tioned above of $4,898. A stock exchange house represent ing large holdings of the income bonds made this comment on the re port yesterday: “By its own report the company shows that the railroad earned net $40,000 more than last year, but it managed to increase its charges against income by $500,000, which, of course, leaves nothing for Interest on our bonds. "The Increase in the bonded debt only accounts for a very small part of this increase in charges. The bal ance of the Increase will probably be found to be caused by payment of equipment trust notes, which they have arbitrarily and unjustly charged against the income for the year, thus following out the policy of the past few years, the fairness of which is to be tested In the courts next month. "They say nothing about what the Ocean Steamship company has done,' though the steamship properties have probably earned an additional $090,000 or $700,000 net. as th e Georgia fruit crop this year has been very abun dant, and the steamship business bet ter than normal. "It Is absolutely essential to the fu ture welfare of the company that its affairs with the Income bondholders be adjusted, as the company has no mortgage by which it can raise capi tal to develop its future growth, i Now, the whole matter will be thrash j ed out In the courts, our rights will be determined, after which a com prehensive scheme for re adjustment will no doubt be agreed to by both sides, and the road be put in posi tion to take advantage of the oppor tunities its connection with the Illi nois Central will present. "Even though the management can not have decreed that we bondholders cannot have our Interest money, It is a very pleasant feeling for us to know Liat if last year and this year the books of tne company had been kept fairly, as between its stockholders and bondholders, there would have been earned more than twice the full in terest on our bonds»in each year. Of course, If we win our case, they will have to pay vis a portion, and possibly ! all. of this back Interest." PENNSYLVANIA ROAD BROKE SPEED RECORD Over One Hundred Mile* Made Per Hour.
