THUR8DAY, JUNE 14, 1908.
Who struck BllUe Osborne?
From all accounts, that' Chatham
bounty primary was a scandalous at-
■ fair.
Sister Myrick, ot the Americas
Tlmes-Recordor, calls him “Jay Peii”
Morgan. '
For our tree's sake, let' us hope we
will have uo more storms In Albany
this year.
Baltimore seems to have been sin
gled out by the fire (lend to stand more
than a just share of misfortune and
loss.
Atlanta and Savannah began scram
bling for the Georgia sub-treasury
even before the Georgia Bankers’ As
sociation had fully deckled to request
the treasury department to establish
one In this state.
A Maryland mob Invaded I Virginia
in search ot a nogro who had com
mitted the usual atrocious crime.
Lynchers have no more respect for
state Hues than for prison walls.
Al| the defeated candidates In the
Chatham county primary on Tuesday,
except Hon. Pleasant Stovall, who
wen^ down with the rest of the Citi
zens* ticket, say that, “money did It.”
Mr. Stovall says of It. “They had f he
most votes.”
. Savannah had one of the warmest
political contests In her history on
Tuesday, and did not wait for the
nsh^s to cool -before the warring fac
tions were at work on. the mayoralty
campaign, still some distance In tiro
future. If there Is a town or city In
Georgia that manages to extract more
veal pleasure out of a political cam
paign than Savannah, the same has
not been discovered.
P.
mi ;
The Washington Post, which claims
to he Independent In politics, warns
'the Democrats—the real Democrats—
of the country to beware of the east
ern Greeks who come Into camp bring
ing William .1. Bryau as their gift to
the Democratic party. According to
the Post, the Bryan boom which has
recently been launched Is only a ruse
to head off William Randolph Hears!
as a presidential candidate. The Post
declares that the eastern Democrats
and mugwumps who have twice de
serted him. do not love Bryan or his
politics any more now than they did
In 1896 or 1900, and their plan is to
get him nominated over Hearst, there
by getting rid of the latter, and then
lie down and let a Republican be
elected. The Post’s reasoning is plaus
ible, to say the least, and as for the
eastern mugwumps, they are none to
good to do the trlok.

A HERALD READER’S CRITICISM.
We publish elsewhere on this page
a letter from “A Friend and Reader
of the Albany Dally Herald,", whb
takes this paper to task for "maintain
ing a persistent ‘bear’ attitude on cot,--
(
ton. ” Our "Friend and Reader" points
to the publication of tlje "Cotton Pick
ings, as furnished by Clark & Co.,’’ as
something unfriendly to the staple
crop of our section.
We recognize the force of what this
reader of The Herald writes, and can
dor compels us to say that, from his
standpoint, his cflttclsm Is a just one.
But there Is another side and another
point of view.
The Herald, like , every other dally
newspaper carrying a telegraphic mar
ket report, has to arrange with the
several market exchanges or some
agency In telegraphic communication
with them for the market reports and
quotations. Our arrangement Is with
Clark & Co., and credit Is given, either
under the headlines, or In the head
lines themselves — aH with the "Cot
ton Pickings"—to that. Brin ot cotton
future brokers for the New Tfork and
New Orleans cotton letters which we
publish from prominent brokers in
those cities over their respective sig
natures. The Associated Press,' we
may hero explain, does not handle
tills class of matter. It Is transmitted
to the various centers of trade over
leased wires — wires that, are leased
for commercial and financial service
only, i
The "Cotton Piokings,” which have
evidently been rubbing the fut of.our
friend the wrong way recently, are
gotten up by Clark & Co., and repre
sent. them alone. The Herald pub
llshes them, It Is true — but for Clark
& Co., and for a fair consideration.
Recently, It seems, the Clark & Co.
“Cotton Pickings” have been decidedly
bearish, but they have not always
been so. Indeed, we have known them
to bo “bearish” one day and “bulNSh'
•the next. But that Is their business
and not ours, and we would advise
our Whlghnm friend not to take them
too seriously. We don't mind saying,
too, that In our opinion the style and
general tone of these “Cotton Pick
ings" might be improved — made less
flippant, even If a mean ot consistency
could not be maintained.
We have treated the letter of our
Whlgham reader with this much con
slderatlon because It appears to us to
deserve It, and In conclusion we can
only express the hope that neither he
nor any other reader will, after this
explanation, hold The Herald respon
slide for either the tone, sentiment or
leaning of the “Cotton Pickings” of
Clark & Co.
WITHOUT EXCUSE.
The use of money in a Democratic
primary election Is without excuse and
should not I« tolerated in Georgia.
In the primary for the nomination ot
county officers and members of the
general assembly held In Chatham
county on Tuesday, money was used
openly in the purchase of votes. In
the reports coming from Savannah the
umount of money spent in this manner
is variously estimated at from $75,000
to $100,000.
The local party organization is en
tirely to blame for this. Under our
Democratic primary system, eaoh
county organization Is sovereign and
the rules and regulations for the gov
ernment and regulation of the pri
maries are prescribed and can he en
forced by the respective county execu
tive committees. The use of money,
liquor and all other corrupting agen
cies and influences can be prevented
by any bounty executive committee,
and wherever the party organization
’.s clean It will be done.
Such primaries as all reports repre
sent the Chatham county affair of
Tuesday to have been should not he
‘derated by the state Democratic
party organization, and when dele
gates thus elected appear at the state
convention they should not he seated.
It seems to be high time for the Demo
cratic party organization to take cog
nizance 6f such methods as appear lo
obtain In Chatham county.
With the disfranchisement of the
negro, through the operation of the
white Democratic primary system in
Georgia, there Is no longer the sem
blance of excuse for corrupt methods
and the purchasing of votes. When
the negro was a voter the use of
money in the purchase of votes had
some sort of excuse on the Idea that
“the end justifies the meanB,” but the
white Democratic primary was Insti
tuted for the purpose of eliminating
the negro and getting rid of all excuse
for crooked or corrupt methods'In our
system of elections.
That promise of Judge Richard B.
Russell, made some time ago, that
when elected governor of Georgia he
would "carry more children Into the
front yard of the -governor’s mansion
than there are on all the rest of 'Peach
tree street” has Just received fresh
omphasls by the arrival of the elev
enth little Russell. The. Judge was at
Smlthvllle when he received a tele
gram announcing the arrival of his
youngest heir, and he Immediately left
for home without making the address
which he was scheduled to deliver.
But he has named the boy "Lee County
Russell,” and If Lee-county doesn’t go
for Russell’ It will be the most un
grateful and unsentimental community
In Georgia.
A HERALD READER
Wants the "Cotton Pickings” of Clark
& Co. Cut Out.
Whlham, Ga., June 12, 1906.
Herald Publishing Co.,
Albany, Ga.:
Gentlemen—You have maintained
for some time past such a persistent
"bear" attitude on cotton that I am
led to inquire why It is that you have
taken such ah unfriendly position to
our staple crop. Residing and pub
fishing a public journal at a point in
the state-so largety devoted to cotton
culture, you are, of course, fully aware
of the conditions attending the same,
and must admit when the large outlay
that the farmer yearly has to make far
fertilizers and supplies Is considered,
not to speak of the ever-increasing
difficulties In regard to labor, that the
prices he obtained during the past
season were not high.
Our section, you know, Is esseptlally
not a grain and meat country, and
therefore It Is of prime Importance, If
the general prosperity Is desired, that
our chief agricultural product should
be sold at a figure that will yield.the
producer som6 remuneration.
It has always been conceded as a
fact that when agriculture languishes
and the farmer-does riot enjoy some
degree of prosperity, every other call
ing and pursuit will likewise feel the
depression.
Without presuming, however, for a
moment to say what you should print
and what not, I beg to suggest that
your paper would appear much more
friendly to a large and Important ele
ment of our country, were you to cut
out the column of “ Cotton Pickings ’’
as furnished by Clark & Co., and sub
stitute something of a more friendly
and unbiased nature, and to no longer
surrender your space to further ad
vance the present scheme and efforts
to depress the cotton market, nor use
your Influence, so manifestly to the
prejudice of a worthy class of our
fellow-citizens, and to the best inter
ests of our country-at-large. ,
Yours' very truly,
A FRIEND AND READER OF THE
ALBANY DAILY HERALD.
