Judge Parkor, of tho Waycross
circuit Is calling for a rigid enforce

comment
“No other of the forty-one who
replied dreamed of making tho nasty
suggestion, aimed at United States
Senator Terrell, or Covington, or
Brantley, or Stovall, or McLendon, or
other Georgians who might aspire to
the Henatorship against Hoke Smith,
couched In these words: There Is
great danger (mark the words) mh-
nommmI against the candidates, that
some candidate who is representing
some particular Interest will have
xpense paid by that Interests
Indeed, it is altogether probable
that some of the interests who might
wish to elect a United States Senator
would like to |Mty the whole expense
of the primary.”
That sounds so much like the
stuff we heard during three cam
paigns for Governor, its paternity is
ily recognized. It is an insuit
to Georgia and to Georgians.
“Why does Mr. Wright make tho
letter of Mr. Reuben Arnold the
loading features of his extracts from
letters received from committee
men? Was It because of this insin
uation against distinguished Geor
gians, or because it* real authorship
was recognized, or was it because the
views of this man particularly ap
pealed to the chairman?
Is that the keynote of the cam
paign against the field? Are they
going again to run out the old
“bogy” with which they havo more

The State convention which se

county from the bolt weevil pest.

tion of the camUdncy of Hoke Smith
before the Legislature. He cared
not to risk It before the people.
“Reports from Atlanta say that
Smith Is now talking openly with
his friends about his chances of euc-
cees. He thinks that by the bold
coupe and defiance of the people he
will win.
“It Is now up to the people to
take the legislators In hand in their
own way."
WHERE THE COTTON FARMER
LOSES.
For the lack of profit in the aver
age cotton crop, it seenjs to us, there
are two fundamental reasons; (1)
The excesslvo coat of production be
cause Of poor bolls, inefficient meth
od* and consequent low yields; (2)
the fact that a large per cent, of the
crop is forced on the market just as
soon as it is sold and the producer
ha* no control over the price. The
man who f^in* the cotton kuows what
he will get out of if; tho broker, the
commission man, the railroad man.
the manufacturer, the men who Han
dle tho manufactured produc.e—all
these must have a profit off his
work, but the producer takes just
what ho cafi get, profit or no piofitt.
This does not strike us as just the
thing; nor does the fact that a small
cotton crop will bring more than a
big one. There is something wrong
THE STANDARD OIL CASE.
The decision of the supreme court
of the United States yesterday in the
case of the Standard Oil Company,
the result of which will be the dis
solution of the Standard Oil Trust,
was printed Ip our dispatches yester
day. As we understand it, the decis
ion will effect the company only tin so
far as It is In “restraint of trade"
or only In so far as It may use Its
power as a corporation to monopolize
the market. The decision ii & rsaJ
Ron able one. It will not have a bad
effect upon the business of tbe.coun
try because it shows a Just regard
for combinations of capital a© pro
moters of vast business . concerns
that are needed In this coutniry
push our commerce abroad.
There 1» every reason to believe
that the S&ndard Oil Company ha*
expected a decision of this kind and
has prepared to meet It. The-ques
tion has been agitated too long .for
It not to have known that It would
come sooner or later. It Is for
tunate for the company, as well as
for the business of the country, that
the members of our higher court
were ablo to take a boad-mlnded
view of the situation and render a
reasonable decision.” rather tl
Influenced, by tbe crusad^
everything and everybody
something that Is unreasonable
There Is a happy line bewteen right
and wrong, between legitimate and
Illegitimate combinations of capital,
and to find that line without license
to the wrong and without doing In
Jury to the right Is no easy task.
The country seems to be very well
satisfied with the decision and re
port* from New York Indicate that
the business world has not been up
set by it. On the other side, now
that the uncertainty a# to the char
acter of the decision Is over, business
has already taken a quicker step an.l
even Standard Oil stock la showing
an advance. The officers of that com
pany havo announced that they will
abide by tho decision in perfectly
good faith. . They will continue their
business, but tho different companies
will have to bo Independent of each
other.
The decision of the court has been
approved by tho leading newspapers
of the country. It Is a matter or
onsldornble pride to a southern
Democrat to reflect upon the fact
that the opinion was read by a
Chief Justice from the South, who
was placed upon the bench by a
Democratic president, and that a
Georgia Democrat, who was lately
appotnted, also had a hand In reach
ing tho wise decision.
Mexico. It is the half civilized for itself la America In a few years,
greasers on one side against the poor-1 And what a multitude of people hav 0

It is probable that most of those
engaged In the fighting are fond of
that kind of sport? The Yaqu! In
dians first joined the federals and
then went overf'fo the rebels, evident-
ly feeling that there wa« more ex
dtement, more “foot-loose and fan
cy-free” on that side. The dispatch
es say that peace Is almost in sight
again. Madero may agree himself,
but there 1* no guarantee that he
can get his follower* to stand by his
agreement. The dispatches Indicate
that conditions In Mexico are almost
anarchistic, if not entirely so. The
revolution may have to run Its course
before anything like stability will
come to the government again.
A situation like that in Mexico Is
much harder to handle than It
would be If the lines were tightly
drawn and If the rebellion had a
more perfect formation. There
nothfng so hard to handle as a
bandit warfare, because the bandits
take to the hills and mountains
and make life almost unbearable.
Such a warfare wa* kept up In Cuba
until Spain was run out of the Island
and the United States took charge
of affairs.
While old Diaz hag ruled the pee
pie of Mexico with iron hand, He
probably understands the peace sit
uation and realizes that to yield tQ
the pressure upon him would but
mean ararchlstio conditions through-
tho^gountry. ^ ^
GROW MORE PEANUTS. *
The peanut is a legume rich in ni
trogen, but gathers from the air a
large part of this nitrogen. Our soils
are generally deficient in nitrogen,
and It is the moat expensive of the
plant foods w e buy by the millions
of dollars worth every year. The pea
nut furnishes good hay for cattle,
and may save us millions of dollars
In money now paid for roughage
shipped in from other sections. The
peanut Is one of the best crops for
producing pork cheaply. We now pay

can be produced on peanuts for one-
half what It now costs. The peanut

It can now be cured almost univer

his achievement will be found In this
Interesting article. “The lnvestlglp
