' O’ A CALL •Fpr a iMeeting of -the Democratic Ex- ,, ecutlvo Committee of Dougherty « c “ un ‘y- Two members of tho committee hav ing made the request, a meeting of .the-Domooratlo- Executive Committee of Dougherty County Is hereby called .to. meet In the office of tho Cleric of tho Superior Court at the court house 'fit 12 o’clock noon on Saturday next, March Si, for the purpose of consldor- .-■flig' the question of ordering tho pri mary for the nomination of a roflro- Sentativo In the legislature, to be held on the iGth'of May nt the snmo time tho eongressional primary Is to be hold. A full attendance of the com mittee Is desired. h; m. mcintosh, Chairman. i 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.
