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. =1= - TELEPHONES: Composing Room and Job Printing ^^EcHtmlal Rooms and Business Of- floo. eo. # ' ' If you sea It In ’The Herald It’s so.

'■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. 1657—Cromwell declined the title of king. 1660—Charles It. proclaimed king of England. 1729—William King, archbishop of Dublin, died. 1734—Treves taken by the French. 1778—Battle between Americans and British at Bordentown, N. J. 1794—Postofflce department establish ed by United States congress. 1806—Robert Morris, financier of the Revolution, died; born January 31, 1734. 1822—Gen. John Stark, a famous sol dier of the American Revolu tion, died. 1846—Gen. Taylor defeated the Mexi cans at Palo Alto. 1852—Treaty of London, respecting Denmark and the duchies. 1861—Secession of Tennessee from the union. 1871—Treaty of Washington. 1873—Death of John Stuart Mill; born 1806. 1882—English parliament adjourned as tribute to memory of Lord Cav endish and Burke, the victims of the Phoenix Park murders In Dublin. 1897—Volo occupied by the Turkish army.

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 , of the marriage service. It never did 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 8pot . ; m 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, THIS DATE IN HISTORY.
