Parmer Jim Smith for governor Just
sb enthusiastically as though It actu
ally believed ho had a chance to win.
“When you Bee l£ In The Herald It’s

Into an error In remarking In this
column that Clark Howell was talking

“today," Mr. Howell’s appointment
toispoak at Leesburg Is for next Fri
day, June 1.
After all the fuss we have been
making In the South about trusts and
the wickedness of the trusts, It seems
In accord with the fitness of things
that one of the flr3t trusts run down
i>y a Federal grand Jury should be
the Fertilizer Trust, with the South
tor its Held of operations and South
ern planters for Its victims.
The continued rains have been dam
aging to the oat crop throughout this
part of the state. The rains which
- 'commenced last Monday caught the
farmers right In the midst of the oat
cutting time. Many acres had already
been cut and shocked In the fields, and
the continued rains have not only put
a atop to cutting, but have been In
jurious to that part of the crop that
was cut.
An Interesting happening in the
proceedings of the House Committee
of Ways and Means on Wednesday
waB the refusal of the committee to
consider the^resolutlon Introduced by
Representative Williams to reduce 'o
100 per cent, all tariff schedules lu
excess of that rate. Of course, a tariff
rate of over ,100 per cent. Is Indefen
sible. It Is legalized robbery. But the
“stand-patters” stood fast, and the
plunderers will go on with'thelr plun
dering.
The action of the International Pos
tal Congress approving the British
proposition to raise the unit of weight
for foreign letters to one ounce will
prove a very great convenience in
this country, 'where the domestic unit
of weight Is one ounce, and the fact
that the foreign unit Is only half of
that is the cause of very many mis
takes. With a limit of an ounce It
will no longer, be Important to use
thin paper In foreign correspondence.
“NOT A QUESTION OF 8ECTION.”
The Charleston News and Courier
says:
“We agree with The Albany (Ga.)
Herald that Senator Bailey, of Texas,
1b excellent Presidential timber. He
would make a very fine candidate and
there has been much serious talk
about naming him as the Democratic
standard-bearer In 1908. We do not
agree with our Georgia contemporary,
when it says that It would be much
better 'for the South to vote—even
though she voted alone—for a bfg man
like Bailey, who stands for Democ
racy, than to waste her votes or her
enthusiasm on some Northern Demo
crat who would probably not be
elected, and who, even should the par
ty be victorious, might prove bitterly
disappointing.’
The News and Courier then proceeds
to a discussion of the relative claims
of Northern and Southern Democrats
In the party, and observes:
"It does not matter from what part
of the country the Democrat comes,
he Is a far better friend to the South
than any Republican who might be
named. If Mr. Bailey Is to be nomi
nated for President only because he Is
a Southern man, he had hotter not be
nominated because he Is a Democrat,
thoroughly grounded In all tho princi
ples of his party, and because he is
faithful to these principles, and If In
taking a census of the party no truer
or more able Democrat enn bo found
than ho, he ought to bo nominated, but
wo nro growing’ weary of the evorlast-
lng yawp that the Northern Democrats
aro not as much entitled to the respect
and confidence and support of the par
ty as tho Southern Democrats. • * *
If Mr. Bailey Is to bo nominated for
President he must be nominated not
because ho Is a Southern man, but be.
cause ho Is the best available Demo
crat to lead the party In the great po
litical struggle of 1908.”
To be sure. The question Is cer
tainly not whether a Southern man
should be nominated In a spirit of sec
tional splto. That would be worse
than silly, and thos'e of the party who
profess to favor such a course should
not bo seriously considered.
Tho whole proposition hinges on the
manner of man the Northern wing of
the party shall offer. Should he meas
ure up to standards which the country
could not fall to recognize; should his
Democracy bo of a brand above re
proach or suspicion: should his ability
be such as to command recognition
and Inspire the confidence of all sec
tions—then, we are quite agreed with
our South Carolina contemporary, It
would be wiser to place tho standard
of the party In his liaudB than Intrust
It to a Southern Demoorat whose
chances of election would Inevitably
be smaller.
But we Insist that It would be far
better to nominate a Domoerat like
Senator Bailey than some Northern
favorite who would fall to unite the
tuotlons of the party'and would com
mand a following torn by dissensions
and lacking that confidence and esprit
de corps so nacessary to success.
Need we refer to very recent party
history to emphasize this contention?
If the North can furnish a candidate
In 1908 cnpnble of solidifying all fac
tions of the party hnd worthy of the
highest office In the gift of the people,
let us nominate him. If such a man
be not available, let us, rather than
compromise our political principles,
Insist that we be allowed to name a
man like Bailey, who, though he might
fall of election, would leave no sting
of regret In Democratic consciences
nnd no patches on Democratic honor,
there has been so much bluffing done
over It that the public will wait for
somebody to begin laying rails before
looking upon the enterprise as an
assured fact.
The San Francisco street railroads
are to convert tholr cable roads Into
trolley cars us soon as such a change
can be made. They will In this way
come Into line with modern methods
of operating surface transportation,
for the cnble system has had Us day,
and would no longer bo considered
practical for the moving of tramcars
In a Inrge city. The cable was a
decided Improvement over the horse-
drawn vehicle, but in Boston and New
Orleans passed from the horse car to
the trolley car at one step, not going
through the intermediate stage of the
cable. With the electrification of Its
surface roads San Francisco will have
gained one thing at least as a result
of Its conflagration.
Word comes from Savannah that a
Central Railroad surveying corps will
be here Monday to begin surveying a
line for a railroad from this city to
Newton, Bainbrtdge, Quincy and on
down to the Gulf coast This really
looks like business. But there have
been so many charters granted or ap
plied for tdr this, line of railroad, and
