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 tho rush of trade and the Indisputable evidence of prosperity.’’ to know the negro well, and In many Instances displays strong affection for the Individual, and, hence, limits ven geance to the wrongdoer, Instead of holding oil of his colors within reach responsible. Therein lies the difference between the ways In which the especial crime for which the negro Is noted ts treated la the North and the South. And that difference It Is well to stress, for It means a great deal to Innocent members of the race, among whom one fiend may lurk. The present year promises to be a record-breaker for seismic disturb- anccs and disasters. The earthquake whick practically wrecked a good por tion of the city of San Francisco this morning, reported In our telegraphic dispatches this afternoon, Is probably the worst disaster of the kind that we have ever had In this country. learn. Prosperity 'is a good thing, but It cornea high. Dun’s Review shows that prices are 6 per cent, higher than they whro on October 1, and while this 5 means more net Income'for producers J 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.! Tho low point In prices for forty-six. years was July 1, 1897, when the Index figure^- was 72.45, since which time; ft- prioeB have advanced more than 46 per cent. 1 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 '■ Maxim Gorky will be disappointed In. his mission to the United States, | and he ought to be. People In this R calm try who have read so much of the j oppression .of certain classes In Rus-1 sin were naturally Inclined to extend ot only a cordial welcome, but a help- ; band to Gorky, whose mission Is derstood to be to raise money for » relief of the suffering In Russia, | when the fact- leaked out that he ght with him and Introduced os i wtfe u woman who Is not hi8 wife, i It Is known that be has a wife children in Russia, lodging was sod him in the' first-class hotels York and the doors ot,re- blo society in this country were hptly closed to : him. The Ameri- n people will not lionize a man ot irky-social and moral ilk, even i ho may be a literary genius. 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 THI8 DATE IN HI8TORY.
