V* Wajrcross Journal finds space
to print Yancey Carter’s challenge
and hla charges against "Little Joe'
Brown, but It has not printed Mr.
Brown's reply.
The threat of night-riders In the
cotton belt should not be allowed to
grow to more than a threat. Kelt
tacky has had enough night-riding to
Jest the South for all time.
Tt la a great pity that Editor Gray,
of tbs Atlanta Journal, did not qual
ify to help ease the disfranchisement
amendment that he made so much
noise about some time ago.
Hon. Joseph .M. Brown disposed of
Mr. -Yancey Carter about as neatly
and effectively as the job could have
been done by the ablest Joint debater
In the Democratic party.—Albany
Herald.
The two viee-prosidetrtlal candi
dates, Kern and Graves, discussed
baptism and did not agree. That Is
probably due to the fact that Graves
clothed Ills argument In so many
flowers that Kern could not reach
Of course, the President will con
sign Mr. Bryan to : the "Ananias
Club," but that will no more settle
the difference between them than
did he Rough-Rider's charge agnlnat
Harriman disprove what Harriman
chr.rgod against Roosevelt.
Taft told a negro delegation yea-
- terday- that he would not know the

white irfan If he Is elected'-presldent,
so far as their rights are concerned.

A8 TO BOLTERS.
There are not going to be a great
many bolters from the recent Dem
ocratic primary In Georgia, for the
reason that a vast majority/of the
white people of the state are not go*
lng to disregard their political con
tracts in any such manner. To say
that the populists of the state r who
voted in the primary, are not going to
abide by the result Is a reflection
upon many of the best people In the
state. To accuse the followers of
Gov. Smith of lacking In party loyal
ty Is a more serious charge than was
brought against them during the Heat
of the campaign which dosed' In
June.
The Independent candidate for Gov
ernor confesses that he is a bolter—
that he Is playing fast and looser
with political morals, but we do not
believe that he is strengthening him
self with any class of people by such
a declaration. He has mistaken the
temper of the white people In Geor
gia by supposing that any consider
able number of them would go back
upon their party pledges and follow
after a man who confesses to doing
the same thing. If there were any
who felt disposed to rote an Inde
pendent ticket, we do not believe
that they would be willing to give
their ballot to a man who had vio
lated his political obligations as
Carter confesses to hare done.
It takes a good deal of nerve for
a Soatliem white man—without any
excuse except his own narrowness—
to become a bolter from his party
ticket after entering in apparent
good faith in the party primary. Ho
must know that his fellow-citizen#
look with contempt upon* the man
who rlolates his political obligations,
even If there Is nothing in blir- own
bosom to make him feel ashamed of
himself. There has beea some lit
tle bushwhacking In Georgia since
the primary, and once in awHilb a
sore Is exhibited, but the vast ma*-
Jorlty of the voters on the minority
side have done like good Democrats
ought to do and are working mxnjul-
ly for the snccess of fate party tlck-

NEGLECT OF., StpREBUR
In many parti of* the country th*
moat progfoaalve- man of tba> Ixirabef
tnduatry bare fel\ tBo greatest moeea-
fty of adopting Hotter method* of
portectfng tbelr timber holding, from
lire but f» some place, there (till
remain, tnueb to be done. Tbte I,
particularly true tbrougb a part of
tbe great yellow pine belt of the
South upon which tbe naval Korea In-
duatry of the world la largely depend
ent. A timber owner of Florida, In
writing to the Foreat ServfCo at
Waablogton, talks of the matter as
follows:
"Speaking of lire protection: There
fa absolutely nothing being done.
The turpentine people, to protect,
their turpentine timber, rake around
the tree, during early winter, and
then burn (he woods. This la done
to fieep off the forest fli-na of early
spring. These tires are supposed to
be set by the cattle interests, for the
purpose of burning off the dry grass,
so thaa young grass will come up, on
'which the cattle teed. In dofng this,
they destroy millions of young pines
that have just started to grow and
aa» too small and tender to' stand
the heat sf thw Are.
"If these fires: oould be stopped, It
woitld solv* the problem of re-Mrest-
lng, as far' as Florida Is concerned.
I halve thought for a long time that
no' fence aw wen Id go far towwrd
stoppling the burning of the woods.
As It la now, there Is no regulation.
"WHat I mean tb' say la, that If
you own a small piece of land, say
40 acres, and had 10.000' head of cat-
tie, you are at' liberty to graze your
cattle on my 10,000 acres of land, or
it, Is costing the South millions of
dollars of which she la taking no ac
count, aid the present low prices of
lumber aad naval stores will add to
the destruction, for the reason (hat
many of the owners of timber and
turpentine leases will not have mon
ey to pay the expense of raking the
pines. Our naval stores and lumber
are being sent all over the world,
and In the majority of cases we - v
not making expenses out of our com
modity. with a total loss of our tim
ber which Is really valuable enough
to bring a good, liberal stnmpage.
We are selling our turpentine at 35
cento per gallon, amf If will cost .1
per gallon to reproduce the- forest
from which It is being taken. The
same thing win apply tb rosin, W
