Ten pobob today.
A microscopic examination of pehoh
trees in thd region around Macon Is
snld to have revealed the fact that not
more than twenty per cent, of the
fruit wns killed by the recont freeze.
- A request haB- boon made of the
Democratic Executive Committee of
',£lDougherty County to call tho primary
fpr the nomination of a representative
*:'4n the General Assembly to bo held on
the 10th of May In connection with the
Jcongreaslomil primary ordered for that
date. The executive commltteo Is to
',Tneet on next Saturday to consider the
.matter.
j'Populist Peek, a member of the Nil-
. tlonal Executive Committee of the
Southern Cotton Association, has made
- a lmd \break lu Issuing a circular nn-
1 nounclng that he will speak at a num
ber of plnces in Middle Georgia “In
(hB. Interest of Hon. Hoke Smith for
governor; the great Importance of
changing the lawB regulating tho sale
;of commercial fertilizers In this state,
and the outlook for cotton from the
standpoint of the National Executive
Committee of the Southern Cotton As
sociation.” Mr. Peek, like Tom Wat
son npd some other Populists in Geor
gia who have been lighting the Demo
cratic party for years past, has
fvieiimbed onto the Hoke Smith band
in, and his circular announcing
and where he proposes to nd-
,’uess the people In Mr. Smith’s inter-
and In his official capacity as a
lember of' the Southern Cotton Asso-
ittou clearly betrays his purpose to
drag the Cottoa Assi elation Into poll-
just as he and some others did
lithe Farmers’ Alliance In the early
“Nineties.” Are the farmers of Qeor-
, going to let this same gang of
its and demagogues that wreck-
Alliance wreck the Southern
Association?
CANDIDATE HOKE SMITH’S
PROMI8E8.
In his candidacy for the governor
ship of Georgia, Hon, Hoke Smith ap
pears to have adopted the policy of ap
pealing to the prejudices and selfish
Interests of the people, and he has a
plank In his platform, and campaign
a spiel for every prejudice and ivery
Interest
For those who hate the negroes on
general principles, for Instance, he Is
advocating negro disfranchisement In
a state In whlph the negro Is already"
more completely disfranchised and
eliminated from politics, under the
white Democratic primary system, than
would be possible by legislation—and-
this, too, without disfranchising a sin
gle white man.
For those who have been wobbly In
their politics and have strayed from-
tho beaten paths of Democratic loyalty
he and his Atlanta organ are advocat
ing a' wide-open primary in which any
body and everybody with a white skin
can vote in a primary for the nomina
tion of Democratic candidates.
And for those who have to pay rail
road freight charges or passenger fare,
he abuses tho railroads and promises
to reduce their charges and Introduce
various reforms, .
This abuse of the railroads seems to
please the traveling men, pr a good
many of them. Bright as these men;
are, ns a rule, many of them swallow
Hoke Smith’s threats and promises as
to the railroads and railroad rates as
confidently as If It were possible for
Mr. Smith to “make good” on, them,
even If ho should be eleoted governpr
—as though he would become the
whole st^te government, legislative,
judicial and executive.
Three traveling men seated at
tablp with a Herald man at tho New
Albany's few days ago got to discuss
ing the gubernatorial campaign, and
two of them proved to he loud-mouthed
Hoke Smith men. “Why Is It?” asked
tho newspaper man, "that so many of
you traveling men are for Hoke
Smith?” “Well, I’ll toll you,” was the
reply of one of the Knights of the
Grip, “we are tired of paying two nnd
a half and three cents a mile railroad
fare.”
There you are.
By his persistent abuse of the rail
roads and his extravagant promises as
to wlmv he will do In the event of his
electlcon as governor, Hoke Smith has
made men who have sense enough to
be successful commercial traveling
salesmen believe that he can and will
reduce railroad mileage. Anyhow, Ills
nhilso of the railroads appeals to the
prejudices of a class of men who have
to pay railroad fare.
We have never had so much rnm-
pnut demagogy In a campaign in Geor
gia before, but we still have faith
enough In the Intelligence of the peo
ple of the state to believe that the
great majority can not be bamboozled
with It.
ALBANY MUST HAVE MORE
DWELLINGS!
Wanted—Houses!
Albany Is dnlly turning away fam
ilies desirous of becoming her citizens.
For months The Herald has been
directing attention to the fact that
there aro lio vacant dwellings in the
city, nnd that tho problem of provld-
been removed on the site of the foun
dations.
The same .conditions prevail as re
gards stores.
Parties desirous of coming to Al
bany to engage In business are turned
away by the dozen every month, for
there Is not a vacant store In the city.
A certain merchant desires to open
a retail store of a character different
from any now In the city. “Give me a
store,”'he says, “and I will pay a
reasonable rent and open In t
dayB.” Another concern wants an of
fice on the ground floor facing one of
the principal business streets, but has
been unable to secure a location.
So It Is up to Albany to relieve the
situation.
Will Bhe do it?
Tlie case Is one which should appeal
to the patriotic spirit, no less than to
the, busines judgment, of Albanians
who are able to build homes and
stores. Cottages of-the class to.renf
for $8, $10, $12.50, $15 and $20 par
month will be gobbled up as fast os
they can be completed. A hundred
new ones could he rented In a week.
Another hundred would be tenatited
by th»tlme carpenters could complete
them.
The growth of the city Is being re
tarded as the result of the conditions
described. Can she afford to Ignore
the demands that her opportunities
are making?
It 1b for her citizens of means to
answer, ,
The Supreme Court of Nebraska has
passed on the momentous question of
whether It Is legal ton a lover of the
“weed” to roll for himself a cigarette
and smoke It. A yonng man, was' ar
rested in that state because he had
made a “coffin tack” and proceeded to
enjoy it. The authorities charged that
the act was a violation of the state
law forbidding the manufacture of
cigarettes. The Supreme Court decis
ion upholdB the law, but decides that
the young man who rolls his own
“tobies” cannot be molested. This
will be as joyous music in tbe ears of
the chappies of the state who have
been compelled to do their smoking
behind the barns since the annoying
law was passed:
■
The workingmen of St. Petersburg
have played a grim joke on the plu
tocracy by electing a dog as a dele
gate to the Russian National Assem- '
bly. The argument of the voters was
t% the dog would cost only seven
kopecks a day for Its keep, and wodtd,
be quite as useful a representative of
their Interests as any, other candidate j
of theirs who would have a chance of
election.

. r
Tile speech ot Hon. Joe HUl Hall at
Cordele on Thursday was one of the
strongest political speeches yet made
in the present state campaign. The
Bibb statesman stripped Hoke Smith’s
negro disfranchisement proposition of
all its smoke and showed.lt up In its
true light.

Today a man who camb to Albany
with his family to establish a home Is
leaving because of his Inability to rent
a cottage. He lias been In tbe city
two months. He lias consulted real
estate agents, advertised, and scoured
the town from end to end, but without
result. So Albany loses a man who
would have made n valuable citizen,
nnd his family goes with him.
Tills Is one case out ot hundreds.
The Herald lias almost dally calls from
now-comors who want cottages. Ad
vertisements ate very rarely fruitful,,
white a property owner who occasion
ally advertises that a house Is about
to bo vacated ts simply overwhelmed
with applicants eager to lease It
