FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1906.. m King Alfonso and his bride reached the roynl palaco In Madrid ntlvo nftor their marriage yesterday, but not without nn exciting experience. . A bomb which wns thrown Into the pro cession cnme dangerously near the carriage of the royal couple and killed several personB. can be shipped from otate quarries to points In Georgia. The Commission, It Is stated, has taken the matter un der advlBement. This brings up. a subject recently discussed in the gubernatorial cam- palgn. It will be recalled by most of those who read the dally papers that the Atlanta Journal sprung this al leged discrimination that the railroads were making against the Georgia quarries, and submitted a table of rates which appeared to make good Its contention. Hon. Hoke Smith, In one of his speeches, also made reference to this discrimination. Not long after the Journal’s article appeared, Mr. Joseph M. Brown, the Railroad Commission, gave out au artldle to the press which seemed completely refute the statements made by the Journal. Mr. Brown, too, used figures and submitted a comparative statement of rates on marble frdm Georgia points and points In Vermont to points In Georgia. The figures sub mitted by Mr. Brown, taken from the commission’s tariff of rates, appeared to convict the Journal either of Ignor ance or wilful misrepresentation. And now come the Georgia retail marble dealers with their complaint and a petition. Who Is right about tills alleged dis crimination In railroad rates on mar ble—the Atlanta Journal and the retail Tile gubernatorial contest draws nedf the home stretch, and the next few weeks will go into the political history of tho state as one of tho scrappiest periods within the mem ory of the old-timers. And races havo been Won and lost In much shorter pe riods of time than remains of the pres- ent campaign. Thirteen alleged members of tho mcli which lynched John V. Johnson 1 at Wadesboro, N. C., Monday morning have been lodged In jail, and Governor Gleun announces that he Is deter mined that they be tried for murder. He thinks their crime was greater than that committed by the man they lynched. Let us hope that the married life of the king of Spain ami Ills new queen will 'he one grand, sweet song; but should there ever be trouble in the royal household, and should the clash of authority reach the point of physi cal conflict, It. is to be feared that his somewhat fragile majesty will not fare well at the hands of the buxom and athletic daughter of Merrle England who now shares his throne. The report of the Southern Cotton Association Indicates that the Increase of acreage In cotton this year Is 635,- 227 bales, or 2.29 per cent., and strong emphasis Is placed upon tho fact that the scarcity of labor Is greater than ever—so great that no doubt exists In the minds of the association’s statis ticians that much of the original acre age will have to be abandoned. This trouble with labor is growing more acute every year, and until conditions greatly improve It will be Impossible for the South to raise larger crops of cotton or anything else. P There seems to be nn sound reason for holding back the facts In regard to the packing house abominations. The truth always helps more than it hurts, and publicity is tlie most effective cor rective. Publicity of vile conditions tends to make every mau his own in spector. It cuts down consumption. It reduces profits. It Is an argument addressed to the pockets of the pack ers—the place where they think. Al ready the people know enough to make them very suspicious of all sorts of canned goods, pickled meats, sausag etc., that are put up by the packers. marble men of Georgia, or Cominis slouer Brown? One thing Is very cer tain, tho contentions and figures of tho two authorities aro widely differ ent. This controversy, with its facts and figures, showing, a difference of some thing lllco 50 per cent., goes to prove what The Herald has had occasion to say before—that the average business man and even the average railroad freight clerk, can’t figure out with any certainty the rate -on a given ship ment from a point outside the state to a gives pojnt In the state, the rates being so variable and Intricate that experts only can comprehend and ap ply them. Juggling with mil road rates is get ting to be n sort of profession, and In tills marble rate controversy we see It demonstrated tlint, while “figures don’t lie,” they can be mads to mislead mid deceive the average business man when applied to railroad rates. THE COTTON ACREAGE. Cotton statistics covering acreage, crop conditions, probable yield, etc., have become very much like politics and ante-election predictions and esti mates, and In considering them one who wonts to know the truth will do well to look somewhere between the extremes. But cotton statistics and estimates lire ever interesting to the average Southern man, whether lie be farmer, merchant, bunker or tradesman, for the business of all Is In a large meas ure affected by the market price of tile great staple crop of our section. The bulletin of the Southern Cotton, Association, issued yesterday, shows the acreage planted in cotton this sea son to be 27.634.71S, against 26,999,491 last year, an increase of 635,227 acres or 2.29 per cent. The state presidents and secretaries of the association are also formulat ing reports of the cotton acreage, amount of fertilizer used and crop conditions throughout the cotton belt. In Georgia the acreage this year Is estimated at 3,826,618, the same as last year. Crop two weelis late, labor scarce and in some sections labor sit uation acute. In North Carolina the acreage 1,038,661, compared with 1,116,939 for last year, a decrease of 7 per cent. Crops are late and, labor scarce. In South Carolina the acreage 2,212,807, the same as last year. Labor scarce. The Texas acrease is reported as 7,888,645, compared with 7,311.071 last Is THIS DATE IN HISTORY.
