The Atlanta Journal’s slogan, “Watch the "Lineup,” which It used so much In the beginning of the present guber natorial campaign, hns been silenced by, the Macon Tologrnpli’s “Watch the T-yout." That mu'oh advertised Indignation meeting at Forsyth on Saturday for • the’purpose of protesting against the “insult" of the State Democratic Com mittee In confining the voting prlvl- . luge In the approaching State Demo cratic primary to Democrats and suoh otberB as declare their purpose to 1 align themselves with the party and support Its nominees, didn't amount t6 .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 story In the Journal about the wicked THIS DATE IN HISTORY.
