When you enn't speak well of your town, talk about something elBe. ; The verdict In tho "Town Topics" cage was exactly what, wns antici pated. And now we are threatened with a candidate for governor, Next! preacher foultney Bigelow appears to have “stood off’’ that senatorial committee to a finish. A census Is bolng taken of Blnkely, and the News estimates that It will show a population of about 2,100. Uncle Sam appears to have tacitly consented for Prance to give Venezu ela a licking If she wants to do It.

Word conies from Washington that the government has decided to Im prove the quality of postage stamps, having special reference to the gum that Is UBed on them. It Is hardly to be hoped, however, that we will be given stamps that won’t have to lie licked. A cotton expert who Is anxious for higher prices can figure It out to a nicety that the spinning world will bo fairly fighting for the raw staple In -the course of a few weeks, while an other expert with bearish tendencies ;'«tii make It equally clear that there -is sufficient cotton in sight to make '|t practically certain that It will be a IS On the market long before the irketing of the next crop begins.

It Is stated that among the victims of the disaster which overtook the steamship Valencia off the coast of British Columbia this week were many children, all of whom are numbered nmong the lost The physical weak ness of the women and children was no match for the terrible force of the storm and the hardship of expos ure In the rigging during long, bitter hours, with the temperature at zero. There have come In from the sea the stories of few tragedies more piti ful than this account or the loss of the Valencia, and the. saddest chap ter Is that which tells how holpless chlldron went to watery graves, not one oscaplng. When human beings reach man hood’s or womanhoods’ estate, they are charged with responsibility for their own safety. They go when, where and how they elect. If danger threaten, they must guard against it, and tho responsibility which comes with years of discretion warns thorn that life Is uncertain, and bids them he ready for tho summons when It comes. But It Is different with children. Thoughts of individual responsibility do not come with tender years, and the footsteps of children aro supposed to bo guided at all times by adult hands. Responsibility for their wel fare, spiritual and bodily, Is In the keeping of their elders. The very thought, therefore, of the drowning of children in such disasters as that which overtook the Valencia calls tears to the eyes of all but the absolutely heartless. The picture of tho wrecked ship, the roaring tem pest, the pitiless cold, the little forms lashed to the rigging, their feeble voices crying for the help that will never come, Is one not to be forgot ten, though It has been brought to most of us only In the meagre news reports of tho sad disaster. A GOOD SUGGESTION. The Tlfton Gazette, discussing the miserable schedules and poor passen ger accommodations on the Brunswick & Albany - division of the Atlantic Coast Line, about which the readers of The Herald have heard something recently, snys: \ ■ A POINTED QUESTION. The Hawklnsvllel News and Dis patch, which Is the home paper of Hon. Pope Brown and was a strong supporter of that gentleman’s candi dacy for governor before he retired from the race in favor of Hon. Hoke Smith, has an interesting editorial this week under the caption, “Answer this Question.” The question of Interest Is propounded In the following extract: “Why did the Atlanta Journal Inst May, when everybody thought It was going to support Pope Brown for the governorship and before Mr. Brown’s retirements favor of Mr. Smith, come out In a flaming editorial Btating ‘We Want a Candidate for Governor!’ and made a platform then and there which tho said candidate would have to stand on. The Journal at that time knew what Mr. Brown’s platform was and If If was the samo then as now, why didn’t they support Mr. Brown? The truth of the matter Is, the plntform was changed, as was the candidate, Mr. Smith succeeding Mr. Brown, but not Ills platform." An honest, straightforward answer to tills question would clear the politi cal atmosphere considerably, but It Is perhaps safe to say that neither the Atlanta Journal nor Mr. Smith will respond with such an answer. er, perhaps the most Interesting of the handful who survived Gordon, has crossed over the river. Stephen D. Lee is one, at least—are there any others?—remaining of the soldiers who were conspicuous In the great civil conflict. More than forty yearsl have passed since the star of the Confed eracy set, and the great commanders, or most of them, were then In their prime. What Is true of the Confed eracy Is nearly equally true of the Union In this reBpect, for few who were major-generals In the blue army- are living today. It is a question of but a few years when not a man whose collar bore a star at the close of the war will remain among the ! living., The great leaders of the Confeder acy are rapidly passing away. Gen eral Gordon, who was the most con spicuous of the surviving generals of the Lost Cause, has been dead but a few months, and now General Wheel- Editor A. P. Perham, Sr., of the Waycross Herald, has been appointed by Governor Terrell as the trustee from the Eleventh congressional dis trict to the Confederate Soldiers’ Home at Atlanta. The appointment is a good one and the honor—for it is an honor—is worthily conferred. The Eleventh congressional district has no better man in it, taking men as they are and considering them “all in all,” than A. P. Perham, Sr., and his war record is as good as the best.

It la lmrd to reconcile the miser able accommodation and rotten sched ules prevailing on the Atlantic Coast Line between Albany nnd Brunswick with the palatial trains, quick sched ules and prompt service which has made snob a favorable reputation for the road along Its main line. The execrable situation existing here must be due to tho oversight of some of ficial, and the Gazette believes that If the matter was brought to the atten tion of the management by the busi ness organizations of Albany, Tlfton nnd Brunswick, a remedy would be promptly applied." Mock & Rawson. The suggestion that the business; organizations of Albany, Tlfton and Brunswick take up this matter with the proper officials of the Atlantic Coast Line Is a good one. We have 1 been told that Mr. W. J. Craig, who has recently been promoted to the po sition of Passenger Traffic Manager of the Atlantic Coast Line, is a man I who would be likely to give attention to any matter properly coming under j the supervision of his department that j was brought to bis notice In a busi ness-like way. He has probably never been over the Brunswick & Albany division of the A. C. L. system, and if our Albany Business League and the commercial organizations of Tlf ton and Brunswick could manage to bring him here so he could see for himself what a miserable service the people who are forced to patronize that line are getting, he would doubt less be convinced that they have good reason for kicking and might take the necessary steps at once to give them relief.
