The. political waters of Georgia liavo

. luge In the approaching State Demo
cratic primary to Democrats and suoh

.much. Indeed, when It Is known thnt
•the affair nnd occasion had been so ex-
■tonslvoly advertised, the fnct thnt only
. slxty-one persons—Populists nnd nil-
showed up to “Indlgnnte," makes It
look like Monroe Is a pretty good
Democratic county. Tills Forsyth In
dlgnntlon, meeting really didn't meas
ure up to Judge Spence's “protest”
and “denounce" meeting held at Ca
milla the other day. But then the
Judge had his during court week when
more people than usual were In town.
A DISCLAIMER.
The Herald Is somewhat surprised
to find that some of the good pcoplo of
Foist Albany have given to a three-
lino 'paragraph which appeared In
these columns last Friday a construc
tion not dreamed of when the offend
ing sentence was written.
In reporting the suicide of Ira
Spring, the following language was
employed! “The houBe In which the
suicide oocurred 1b one of many of Its
kind in East Albany." This simply
meant that the house was a small
frame building tenanted by negroes.
The statement appeared so simple and
understandable that the thought of go
ing further Into details was not con
sidered necessary. In fact, owing to
the peculiarly sad nature of the caso,
unpleasant Retails were omitted as far
as possible.
But a delegation of representative
East Albanians who cnlled at The Her
ald office this morning represented
that the paragraph above quoted may
be misunderstood by those away from
Albany. And to forever sot at rest
any misapprehension or misunder
standing on the part of any person,
The Herald takes this opportunity to
state that tho Idea of a reflection upon
East Albnny was not dreamed of
when the article was written and pub
lished. Tho reference to the house
merely considered the bulidtng as a
structure, and had no reference to Its
“character," that tvord being carefully
avoided.
East Albany Is a part of this com
munity, and The Herald has always
regretted that It 1b not a part of the
city. Its white residents are among
the best citizens of the county, and
they enjoy the respect and cq&fldence
of the people , among whom they live.
Therefore, to cast slurs upon them
would bo Impossible, and The Herald
hns certainly never had a thought of
attempting such a thing. We regret
that a simple paragraph should have
been misconstrued, and emphatically
dlsolnlm any Intention of offending
our next door neighbors on tho east
side of tho river.
the British ship owner was never so
prosperous aB after the removal of
mediaeval legislation, and horses be
came more numerous and valuable af
ter stage coaches were abolished than
they were before. The automobile and
the electric car threw the horse breed
ers Into a panic. But the Department
of Agriculture reportB that there are
now 18,718,578 In the United States,
against 14,304,087 nine years ago. In
the same time mules have Increased
from 2,215,054 to 3,404,001, and the
value per head of both beasts Is esti
mated much higher now than nine
years ago. The noble horse will ever
be an Important factor In the Industry
nml pleasure of the higher element of
civilization.
When one man steals the affections
of another man's wife, the aggrieved
one may do. and usually does, one of
three things. He may get a shotgun
and make business for the coroner, sit
down In a contented frame of mind
and refuse to allow himself to be dis
turbed by the faithlessness of an un
worthy woman, or go Into the courts
sad sue for damages. The shotgun
plan Is popular, but always to be de
plored. The Injured husband who re
fuses to grieve himself to death Is a
philosopher, while, the man who goes
to law may have the double satisfac
tion of securing a financial balm for
his lacerated heart and tapping the
bank account of the despoiler of his
home. After all, a married woman
wjio will run away with another man
Is not worth killing that man about,
and the man himself Is not fit to kill.
When choice Is to be made, therefore,
lt'ls a wise husband who elects to fol
low ode of the two remaining alterna
tives.
BOB TAYLOR.
Reports from the primary election
In Tennessee on Saturday show that
nx-G^v. Robert L. Taylor defeated
Senator E. W. Carmaok for the United
States senate. The contest was one of
the most spirited that Tennessee haB
witnessed In many years.
The personality of "Bob" Taylor Is
as potent In Tennessee today as it has
over been In the past, Although Sen
ator Carmack httB proved to be one of
the ablest men who havo represented
Tennessee In the upper house of con
gress In several generations, and
though overy available Influence was
brought to boar In nn effort to secure
his re-election, ex-Governor Taylor
aoems to have swept the state.
Personal popularity Is the grentest
asset any man who goes before the
people ns a candidate for office may
possess, und It goes without Baying
thnt the man who numbers his friends
by the tens of thousands must bo en
dowed with uncommon qualities. Sev
eral times x during his public enreer
has ex-Governor Taylor been a- candi
date for the senate before the legisla
ture, but was never nble to overcome
the combinations arrayed against him.
But when the people were given nn
opportunity to express their prefer
ence, they very unmistakably showed
that If their wishes had been consulted
In the pnBt, “Fiddling Bob” would have
been sitting In the upper house of the
national legislature years ago.
A movement Is on foot to divide the
southern judicial circuit, which Is one
of the oldost of the superior court cir
cuits of the state. The circuit was
formerly composed of the counties of
Colquitt, Thomas, Brooks, Lowndes,
Berrien and Echols. The formation of
the new counties by the laBt session of
the legislature puts the two new coun
ties of Grady and Tift Into the circuit,
and makes more business than one
judge and one solicitor can well look
after. An effort will be made to have
a new circuit formed out of the coun
ties of Colquitt, Thomas, Grady and
Brooks. This would leave out Lowndes,
tile home of Solicitor W. E. Thomas,
but would Include the home of Judge
Robert G. Mitchell.
Dick Russell, and the saucy Parson,
"butting In” on Smith at Washington,
and a repetition of the same thing on
Dick's part at Toccoa, and several
other places, "Just to make trouble,”
ie quite pathetic!
“Smith finds that Russell had come
to ‘butt In.’ He “returned to Toccoa
solely for the purpose of Interfering
with 8mlth”—but thanks to the judge
—“Judge Klmsey refused to allow time
for two speeches!"
Now, to tell the truth, we do not
believe that Smith Is afraid, but very
evidently the Journal Is scared. Some-
how it Is a little rattled In its knees.
There seems to be more In Dick
Russell than some people were think
ing.
There Is also a reaction on In the
state which they are trying to. check
by frantic assaults upon the executive
Committee.
Watch the tryout!
Watch the Tryout.
From tho Mncon Telegraph.
We have no doubt that on neutral
ground, with equal opportunity and
with a debatable question, Hon Hoke
Smith can hold his own with the best
debaters we have; but debating Is an
nrt which does not always prove the
right thing; and as an art It Is not
.always the best teBt of fitness for
office.
These truths are brought to mind
by some Incidents of the present gu
bernatorial campaign.
It will be remembered that In the
beginning of the campaign the Atlanta
Journal went around like a roaring
lion seeking, some one for Mr. Hoke
Smith to devour.
Oh, don’t you remember, sweet Alice,
how It pawed the earth like the bkll
of Bashan, and challenged all the oth
er little Harry-Dlcks (as they called
them In Florida) to come over, If you
dare, on the burn, this side of the
creek!
Of course you remember. But now
set how things have changed. That

"Being There When Wanted" Is the
title of a recent magazine article only
a few lines In length which hns been
very generally noticed. For the man
or hoy who has formed the habit of
being “Johnny 1 on'the spot,” making
promptness and reliability two of the
cnrdlna! rules of his life, Is conspic
uous among hlB fellows, and never
falls to enjoy the full confidence of
those with whom he Is thrown In con
tact. The man who does not consider
It Important to be prompt Is apt to
have many other shortcomings to an
swer for.
Horses are surviving automobiles as
they survived railroads. When rail
roads were Introduced horse breeders
were as sure that they were ruined as
British ship owners were when the
navigation laws, were repealed.’ Bat
