SIGNIFICANT.
An examination was held In this
city Saturday for postofflc clerks and
carriers, under the - United States civil
service rules. Those passing the re
quired examimtlon will be placed on.
the eligible list, and will be appolqfed,
according to seniority, to the first
vacancies occurring In the Albany of
fice. ' ,
Five persons appeared to take the
examination, all negroes. Furthermore,
the only name already on the eligible
list of the Albany postofflce Is that of
a negro. If three of the live who were
examined Saturday, pass, there will be
four ellglbles—all negroes. It Is sur
prising that positions In the govern
ment service which pay from $600 to
$1,000 per annum, are not more sought
after by young white men, scores of
whom In Albany are filling less con
genial and lucrative positions. Mall
carriers begin at $600 and are ad
vanced $100 per annum, anil the em
ployment Is permanent during good
behavior and satisfactory service.
There are, as before stated, scores of
young white men In Dougherty county
capable of taking the clerks’ and car
riers’ examination, and their failure to
embrace the opportunity Is surprising.
It Is significant, too, that so many ne
groes are ready to enter the govern
ment service, and that many of them
are able to pass the required examina
tion.

TUESDAY, MAY 8, 1908.
, A GREAT LABOR LEADER.
'■John Mitchell, president of the
Uuil'dd - Mine Workers, has again
pyoved the possession of two of the
most ossQntlnl qualities of a great
cijijiunajfder—perfeot control over his
followers, and a perfect comprehen
sion. of the situation.
This time last week a strike In the
authraolte coal region seemed Immi
nent and Inevitable, but today there is
penoe, and the miners are again at
work, a satisfactory contract havlug
been entered Info between the oper
ators and miners.
And John Mitchell did It. There Is
no other labor leader who could have
led 160,000 men to the point of strik
ing and then have led them back.
That President Mitchell Is a great
general with a remarkably well disci
plined army, seems to have been clear
ly demonstrated.
Dick Russell and Parson Nunnally
seem to be pestering Hoke Smith
- “right smart."
The Philadelphia Record sees a
keen touch of humor in the comment
of the Standard Oil magnates upon
President Roosevelt’s lament over th^
Inability of the poor and distressed,
railroad companies to “unite for pro
tecting themselves against the power
of the great corporations.” If the rail
road companies are so helpless, where
in lies the ground of complaint over
their combination to fix all the freight
rates of the country? People who are
Incapable’ of appreciating President
Roosevelt's plea for government pro
tection of the railroads are sadly
wanting In a sense of the ludicrous.
where the Journal Is left absolutely
bereft of Its old-time friends.
This convention was dominated by
the Journal and Its present candidate
for governor, to such an extent that
what Its candidate did not claim as a
personal victory was pre empted by
the Journal.
The “ring,” as It Is now termed,
was whipped out of its boots, and
forced to go barefooted to lit. Louis.
Now, It was this convention, con
trolled by the Journal anil Its candi
date, that elected the chairman, who
appointed Hamilton McWhorter, War
ner Hill, Boykin Wright and Jack
Spalding as members of the present
executive committee from the state at
large.
And It was the convention Itself,
thus dominated, that elected the re
maining thirty-three members.
According to every known rule of
estimate the present executive com
mittee was created by, or with the
manipulation or consent of the editor
of the Journal and his candidate for
governor.
They were certainly not elected by
the alleged ving, for It was a Journal
victory, which that paper was not
slow to claim.
Now, that the committee refuses to
follow the Journal into another com
bination that means the overthrow of
the Democratic party, In this state, its
members are made the targets for bit
ter assaults from both that paper and
Its candidate for governor.
In all seriousness we submit If this
Is fair.
The committee might have been
with the Journal still, It that paper had
not apologized to Tom Watson, whom
it had denounced as a corruptionist,
and gone to bed with all those whom
it had repudiated as socialists and an
archists. The gentlemen were simply
too consistent to follow the Journal In
Its Jumping-Jack escapades.
And this Is the cause of the row.

. “Uncle Joe” Cannon, speaker of the
house of representatives, celebrated
his 70th birthday yesterday.
There is precious little margin be
tween the weather* we are having today
down hero In God's country and a cold
snap in May.
The new Presbyterian “ Book o{
Common Worship” lenveu “obey" out

amount to uuythlng, except to furnish
a theme for those who ,lke to have
something to argue about.
The president's side reference to the
desirability of passing the free alcohol
bill In his late Standard Oil message
had a stinging application to the sub
ject not apparent in the text. In both,
Germany and Vrance denatured al
cohol is used for illuminating purposes
as well as for fuel. A gallon of the
alcohol lasts twice as long as a gallon
of kerosene, and gives a light of equal
candle-power when burned In a prop
erly constructed lamp adapted for its
use. Thus it \yill be seen that alcohol
will be a cheap competitive product
against both kerosene and gasoline
for inside house use and for outside
use as well. It is more cleanly and
less explosive. Free alcohol would
certainly touch the oil Trust on a sore

Renouncing Its Own Committee. .
From the Atlanta Nows.
One all sufficient reply to the criti
cism that has been visited upon the
Democratic' Executive Committee,
wherein It has nppeared that partisan
papers and selfish speakers have
charged that It was dominated by the
“ring." is to refer these disgruntled
agitators to the record, which they
seem to lay aside to suit their conven
ient will.
Lest It be a part of forgotten history
the News desires to recall the fact
that In Georgia there was a strong
and somewhat bitter political fight be
tween divergent political forces for
the credit of control at the national
convention In 1904.
The Journal, an Inflammable Parker
paper, that snw death and damnation
In everything that favored Hearst, and
In effect denounced his supporters,
particularly Tom- Watson, a3 social
ists, anarchists and Insane political
hybrids, occupied, with its present
candidate for governor, the extreme
Pnrker end of the fight.
Everybody will remember the al
most insane Interest that was taken
by that paper In a “safe and sane Dem
ocracy."
The Consltution, on the other hand,
a conservative Parker paper, that yet
pursued the Idea that the Hearst Dem
ocrjts were entitled to some consid
eration. was castigated as a Hearst
organ. a
The fight became so intense, that In
their eagerness to claim supremacy In
Georgia matters, the Journal and its
present candidate for governor organ
ized what was termed “Parker Club
No. 7," and the Constitution and Its
candidate for governor organized what
was known as “Parker Club No. 2."
There were two Parker clubs, each
fighting for control, end each formed
by the two papers now engaged In a
similar state fight.
Does the render catch the idea?
Both-clubs rented rooms In the Kim
ball House. Each club had campagln
buttons with which to tag the enthusi
astic and the impressionable voter.
With each it seemed to be a case of
“Here we go, gals, to the wedding.”
And when they reached the mar
riage feast, what happened? Why,
the Journal's editor won his contest
as a delegate to the national conven
tion, In a combined strength that sent
with him as delegates from the state
at large, such Parkerites as Editor
Pendleton, of the Macon Telegraph,
Judge Maddox, of Rome, and Col,
Jas. M. Smith, of Oglethorpe.
This was the “big four” that “fit,
bled and dled v together," as the saying
goes, defeating the Clark Howell
crowd horse, foot and dragoon—only
to live, in yet another Interesting fight,
