THE ALBANY DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1906.
Such, natural phenomena as tho re-
it performance of Mount Vesuvius
are calculated to take' some of the
vanity out of mere" man and to even
rnako the scientists of the day feel
that there Is much for them yet to
UNSATISFACTORY MAIL 8ERVICE.
Wo huvo been expecting tor some
time that a kick would be coming
trom some sourco with reference to
the mall service on the Atlantic Coast
Lino, and It has come. It Is from the
Savannah News, and It Is a lusty kick.
The news, under the above caption,
says:
“Complaints are pouring Into the
Morning News office from subscribers
along tho Atlantic Coast Line with
respect la the delayed and Imperfect
mall service performed by that com
pany. From Whlgham comes the
statement that the service now Is the
worst in thirty .years. A correspondent
at Newbery, Fla., characterizes the
service as ‘rotten,’ and from other
poIntB It ts asserted that nothing so
lad has been known for yea's. Tte
facts are these)' The principal mall
train over tho Coast Line Is Nb. 89. It
comes from New York and brings
nearly all the letter mall from the
north and east. Its departing time
from Savannah Is 3:15 a. m„ and on
that train is sent the Morning News.
No. 89 Is not a fast scheduled train,
having nearly six hours more for the
run between New York and Savannah
than No. 85; and yet with this leeway
It does nob get In on time; conse
quently, when It Is late Us connections
are missed at Wayerose for points on
the Montgomery, Albany an(I Lakeland
divisions and for all points on the
Atlantlo and Birmingham.
. Under the old regime, No. 23, as the
train was known then, was a model
of promptness and gavel excellent ser
vice. But under the more modem
methods of railroading, It eeems, No.
89 Is a backslider and a disgrace to' Its
predecessor. Let the Atlantic Const
Lino people ‘get busy’ ana run their
train No. 89 on time. There seems to.
be no good and sufficient reason for
Its delay, and It should be made to do
more satisfactory service.” ,
The Nows has Just cause for kick
log, for Its patrohs aldng'the Hue,of
tho Coast Line between Waycross ami
Albany rarely get the Morning News
on the day of iiiiblication 1 . If the Coast
Line made Its schedule from Savan
nah to Albany wo would get the
Morning News every day'at' 11:46 a.
m„ but the train doesn’t come In on
time perhaps oftener than once a
woelt.
$600,000,000, or more, twice os much
as It waB worth a very few years ago,
it represents only about one-third of
the value of the agricultural produc
tion of the South. It Is estimated that
Alabama has five times as much Iron
ore as has thus far been mined In the
Lake Superior district. It Is not many
years since It was declared that while
the South might produce pretty good
pig. Iron, It could not make steel be
cause the chemical constituents of Its
ore were unfavorable. But the Ten
nessee Coal & Iron Company has just
advanced Its price for steel rails, de
liverable next year, to $29, while the
regular price is $28, because the basic
steel rail made In Alabama Is superior
to any other. The Alabama Consoli
dated Coal & iron Company Is adding
150 coke ovens to Its plant. Southern
hotels are crowded. Every prominent
city In the South Is getting a new ho
tel or the old ones are being enlarged
and modernized. Everywhere there Is

evidence of prosperity.’’

Instances displays strong affection for

Therein lies the difference between
the ways In which the especial crime
for which the negro Is noted ts treated

And that difference It Is well to
stress, for It means a great deal to
Innocent members of the race, among

The present year promises to be a
record-breaker for seismic disturb-

the worst disaster of the kind that we

Prosperity 'is a good thing, but It

prices are 6 per cent, higher than they

and presumably for middlemen,' It Is a
substantial Income tax on consumers,
few of whom have experienced any In-,
crease In Income since last fall. Dun’s
tnhles show no prices so high as the
present since 1880, at the beginning of
which the Index figure was 122,679.!

CONSTRUCTIVE STATESMANSHIP.
Clark Howell bpoVo at Swalnsboro
on Monday, and Editor Pleas. Stovall,?
of the Savannah Press, was evidently
present, a report of the speech appear-
Ing In yesterday's Press which, bears
tlie gifted editor’s earmarks.
The report, which Ib readable
throughout, starts out with this:
Yesterday when Clark Howell spoke
at SwatnBboro, In Emanuel county, he
concluded his remarks of two hours
by a striking statement,
'“When I reached my 21st birthday,"
said he, "Hehry Grady wrote me a let
ter In whloh he said, ‘Try always toi
build up your state. There will* be
plenty of those who will want to tear j
It down. The highest sort of ability
Is constructive statesmanship.” , |
The time and place were worthy, of
the remark. The speaker stood In the
new courthouse of one of tho largestj

and most rapidly developing counties
in South Georgia. It Is traversed by |
railroads from north to south. Branches
and trunk lines Bhoot through It In
every direction. What once were
tramroads with light rails laid
over the hills and roadbeds following
the general conformation of the land,
are now through lines operating fast
trains carrying good local business.
The great systems are beginning to
buy up these roads, for they are be
coming , feeders or competitors and
cannot be Ignored In the traffic system
of the South. Emanuel county has
gradually been stripped of Its timber.
The turpentine box and the sawmill
have left the country bare, and thous
ands of acres of rich land have been
uncovered. People are moving In from
every part of the state, and, although
the sawmill and turpentine men do not
now make great fortunes, new farmers
are settling there, new towns are
springing up, the tramway has become
the trunk lino and wealth Is more gen
erally distributed.
Clark Howell emphasized the fact
that he had no war to make on rail
roads. He would Invite railroad en
terprises In every part of the country,
even though they might be engineered
by foreign capital.
THE SOUTH’S PROSPERITY.
The prosperity of the South Is be
ginning to attract very general atten
tion at the North, where all things of
a material or financial Character are
considered In “cold blood." so. to
speak. .Tty) Philadelphia Record sums
up the Industrial prosperity ot the
South as follows:
“Although the cotton crop fa worth
Wholesale Vengeance Wreaked on
Negroea.
From tho Augusta Chronlole.
The Chronicle can not condemn too
strongly the tendency that exhibits It
self In every section of the United
States, except tho South, to wreak
wholesale vengeance on all negroes
within reach, whenever one ot their
number commits some fiendish crime.
Here In the South the perpetrators
of unspeakable offenses are apt to
meet with sure and certain death, but
there-,, Juflge Lynch's subordinates
cease; they do not turn In and,la ad
dition, burn the whole Afro-American
portion of the nearest town, and slay
a half-dozen Innocent negroed besides.
But tho^recent evenls in Spflngfleld,
Missouri, have' been precisely In ao-
cord with previous riots In Illllnols,
and other Northwestern and North
ern states. ■ '!
Two, at least, of the victims of the
mob's fury have been declared Inuo-
cent, and a third probably so; No
wonder, then, that the Indignation of
lnwabldlng citizens of the town has
been aroused to the point of holding a
mass meeting at a church, tho object
of which was to decide upon some sys
tematic method of prosecuting .the
rioters. And the town. In the mean
while, Is under military control, the
state guards being assembled there'!n
force. a*
The moss meeting’ referred to Is to
the credit of the people or Springfield,
and Is due, perhaps, to Ole fact that
Missouri is largely Southern. For-
there can be no question of the fact
that the. attitudes of the two sections
toward thtB matter are diametrically
opposite to each other. .The reason
for such being the case Is easily ex
plained. ;
The mob fury of other quarters than
the South, which vents. Itself In blind
and Indiscriminate shooting and loot
ing and burning of homes, Is an exhi
bition ot racial prejudice. The New
Englander, Northerner or Westerner
sympathizes deeply at a distance with
the negro In the abstract and roundly
condemns the Southerner for the the
oretical Imposition that the dusky
wards of the nation undergo, but the
moment that the latter is brought Into
close touch and the matter Is pre
sented In the concrete, racial prejudice
breaks out and goes to ungovernable
extremes.
• The Southerner, on the contrary,
through long association, has grown
