SOME STRAIGHT TALK.
The following interesting extract
la taken from an editorial In the Ma
con Telegraph of last Sunday, reply
ing to some statements by the Au
gusta Herald In regard to The Tele
graph's attitude toward Judge Iiamp
McWhorter:
"As we said the other day
not sufficiently acquainted
Judge McWhorter to pass upon his
fitness for this office, but in viev
what is generally known of his
pcr'ence on the superior court bench
‘iid in view of Judge Lumpkin’:
pressed desire and confidence In him
we do not see the force in this row
kicked up about It two years and
more afterwards. We think It alto
gether probable that Governor Ter
rell was largely governed by a prom
ise to his dead friend, knowing per
haps that McWhorter would decline
it. It Is absurd te make that Inci
dent an Issue in this campaign,
"The Herald also chides us for not
becoming enthusiastic at this time
on the disfranchisement proposition.
We have repeatedly expressed the
opinion that we are in about as good
condition as we can well be, In this
regard, short of a repeal of the fif
teenth amendment. 8o far as we
know, and as we believe, The Tele
graph was the first newspaper in tho
world t.) stait an agitation in that di
rection. And w« said the other day
and now repeat, that if we were in
the Tenth district we would vote for
the renomination of Hon.
Hardwick because he started the ball
to rolling in congress by Introducing
a hill to repeal that amendment.
“Hon. Hoke Smith, now a candi
date for governor, and now pressing
the disfranchisement proposition, ex
pressed our views on this subject
In an interview in the Baltimore
American on May 22, 1903, which wa*
as follows:
“Is the negro a political factor in
Georgia?" .
“No; he does not vote.”
“Have your election laws or con
stitution debarred him from voting?"
“No, on the contrary, the state leg-
siature has voted down by a decided
majority every proposition looking to
the negro’s disfranchisement. The
whites number about two-thirds the
population and we can easily defeat
any attempt on the part of the ne
groes to carry the elections. We are
doing all in our power to elevate the
negro. Here In Atlanta we furnish
grammar schools for the negroes.
These schools remain opsn nine
months in the year.
Do you approve of Booker Wash-
ngton’s plans for the education of
he negro race?" .
•,‘Yes, he is doing good work. He
s educating the negro to do better
the work within his reach and to per
form well whatever duty faces him.
I do not agree with some people who
believe that the education of the ne
gro, when intelligently conducted,
makes him dissatisfied with his con
ditions."
"Mr. Smith was not a candidate
for governor then, nor are we now.
Telegraph is no more under the
domination of "the ring” or any oth-
Influence except Its own reason
1 free will. now. than Mr. Smith
s then. If the Herald ever kick*
up any row about disfranchise-
nent. so called, then or before then,
any other time until now,
recall It. ami we have a i
ping track of things In G'
gia proftv successfully.
“This new. belated, unnecessary
ry in Georgia for so-called dlsfran*
Ulseniont Is simply a political expo
lency to meet the desire and pros
nt plans of Tom Watson, tho man
hove all other white men In ('
gla since reconstruction who has
;ono to the greatest lengths in polit-
rnl campaigns to capture the negro
ota. Did they, (t,hc negroes 1 not
all him their "Jesus” and did not
he Atlanta Constitution some twelve
r fourteen years ago cartoon him
s the negroes’ “Savior?" Was he
Wat son i not asked to leave a hotel
n Sparta because he held a eonfer-
nco In his room, or In the house,
here with one or more negro poll-
iclans?
"How easily wo forget—when It Is
•nvonlent to forget?
"Our recollection Is that the Her
d was an ardent supporter of
Ilearst for President about that time
—the time of the Smith interview In
the Baltimore American, or a little
later. We do not remember that the
Herald tremored, or even so much as
/ : ■
batted its eyes nervously, when The
Telegraph showed that one of
Hearst’s New York newspapers de
clared editorially that the white peo
ple in Charleston who objected to
the appointment of Crum as collec
tor of the port were no better than
the negro himself."
"The Herald refers to us as ‘the
dear old Macon Telegraph.’ As a
matter of fact we are too old to be
frightened with ‘a booh! for a cold.’
We have heard the loons cry, and
the wild geese honk in our time.”
STRONG REASON FOR DIVERSI
FICATION.
Mr Paul M. Potts, the president of
the Louisiana division of the South
ern cotton association Is emphasizing
the necessity for the diversification of
crops In that state as In other states
as a safe means of obtaining a fair
price for cotton He urges the farm
ers to plant corn, oats, pea vine bay
peas, sweet potatoes, and whatever
other things their soil will produce
and they may consume upon their
farms. He says:
“Immediately begin to use your in
fluence in your neighborhood to to*
duce every man who grows cotton
to strictly adhere to the principles of
diversified agriculture, which is the
most Important step toward placing
our cotton farmers in a state of con
tinuous prosperity. Appoint your*e]?
committee of one to preach thd
gospel of diversification to your
neighbors and brother-farmers, al
ways impressing upon and pointing
them the fact that every pros
perous farmer in any community
owes his success to the fact that he
always produces all the feed and
food crops that his live-stock and
family can consume on his own f&Qll
never buying anything that can
raised at home. This plain,
mon-sense a business method
prlng prosperity to any farmer who
practices It, and the Southern Cot
ton Association through its variohs,
state divisions promises to use every
means at its command to carry on a
system of education to the end that
all cotton farmers of the south will
become prosperous through dive:
tied agriculture." _ .
This advice is most persistent At
this time for the reason that In ev
ery part of the south the crop pitch
ing tho planting weather Is extraor
dinarily favorable and the tempta
tion to the farmer to increase his
cotton acreage in view of the good
price Is of course very great. The
carrying out of the propaganda of
the Southern Association depends
absolutely up on the yielding of the
ier to the advice of that body: In
matter of diversification. If the
farmer shall fall In this respect there
will he a reversion possibly to the
old and miserable Jays when cotton
began to tumble in October and nev
er recovered until after it had left
the hands of the growers entirely.
The issue sems to bo diversification
or lower prices hereafter.—Macon
Telegraph.
SEX ANQ~THE SENSES.
The man, when his tooth was pull*
ed, yelled hoarsely. The next patient
a woman, bore the pain of three ex
tractions with silent fortitude.
"Yes,". said the dentist, "women
endure the pangs of toothpulling bet
ter than men, but they deserve no
praise on this account. They feel the
pain less.
‘•Experiments have frequently been
made,” he wont on, *’ to test the
acuteness of the masculine and femi
nine senses. The * las: experiments
were made in this towii and they
were intereulng and conclusive.
’.First, taste was tried. Tho male
subjects could detect in water the
presence of th© sixtieth part of a
grain of gall. The women couldn’t
distinguish the grill in a smaller quan
tity that the twentieth of a grain. The;
men’s taste was three times keener
than the women’s.
“Next, smell. Tho men s"'- !1 the
presence of the Hundredth part of a
grain of prussic ,acid. Tho women
were unconscious of the acid till a
quantity five times greater was sot
before them. In smell the men were
five times th© womens’ superiors.
’Men heard a watch ticking nt a
distance of ton yards; v.on.on «v>u’d
only War it at a distance c, f two
yards. Tho males again, yen c:
were five times the bettor.
“It was the sam* tiling with sight
at.-: with touch. Tho nrn raw five
times better. They foil fi\e times
more keenly and dei’cntoly.
’’These' experiments explain away
the apparent anoma'ly of woman’s
drous fortitude to pain. Woman’s
senses being less acute she Is less af*
fected by pain than man.”
Do You Realize the Im
portance of Your Eyes?
I make the same examination
and correct all defective vi
