• Tho luscious Southwest Georgia
ntaloupe Is now a reality.
The Mao.on Telegraph is right; It
' time for' the real Democrats of
Orgla to get together.
President Roosevelt tells the House
nmlttee on Agriculture that he
rits a packing houBe Inspection syB-
, that will lnspoct.
_
hon Albany gets a car line then
can have that live Btoclt fair all
gilt, It will come ere long.
Say, Mr. South Georgia Merchant,
ve you looked Into that "port rate”
question, the agitation of which, In
Interest of Atlnntn, Hon. Hoke
Smith claims as one of tho Instigating
ces behind his candidacy for gov-
nor? ,
1 9 ,
President Roosevelt Is evidently In
earnest about correcting the abuses of
the packing houses and Inaugurating
a system of Inspection that will afford
some protection to the public, but. 1*
Is evident that he will not havo smooth
stilling. The beef trust and the pack
ers ' appear to bo pretty well repre
sented In Congress.
Railroad Commissioner Warner Hill
has contributed about tho warmest.
,
paper that bus yet boon published In
tho present gubernatorial campaign.
He takes up the several references
that have been made to himself, lo
the Railroad Commission and to the
St«to Democratic Committee by Can
didate Hoke Smith since tho latter
opened his campaign, and the language
used Is pretty warm. Mr. Smith is de
nounced In unmeasured terms for sev
eral statements that he has made in
his public speeches, and the chairman
of. the Railroad Commission writes as
If he would as soon have a scrap os

.Congressman Rufus E. Lester, of
Savannah,- who fell through a sky
light In the roof of his apartments In
Washington* on Friday night, as re
ported in The Herald of Saturday, died
of his injuries early Saturday evening.
The death of Colonel Lester has cast
a gloom over the Georgia delegation
, Congress, and It Is announced that
nost the entire delegation-will ac-
pany the remains to Savannah,
the funeral will take place on
dnesday. Colonel Lester was one
most popular representatives
ji, ever had in Congress,
is mourned not only
oughout
A SHAMEFUL APPEAL.
An exchange notes tho fact that “a
California Judge has decided that con
sumption is Just cause for divorce."
Sp much tho worse for California
justice. Let us hope that the decision
represents merely the Idea of one man,-
and Is not illustrative of popular senti
ment In that great state.
The man who would put away a
wife, or the wife who would desert a
husband, on whom the hand of disease
has been heavily laid Is rather lower
than most of the brute creatures.
Birds, and even some fishes, will fight
for their mates. The Bavage beasts of
the Jungle will stand side by side arid
battle against a common enemy, the
male meeting dangers which confront
the female, and even dying that harm
may not reach her, Even domestic
animals recognize the tie which' binds
their kind, the males of horses and
cattle, and even dogs and swine, re
fusing to desert their mateB in the
hour of danger.
. What more pitiful spectacle, there
fore, than that of a man or woman pe
titioning a court for the legal sunder
ing of the tie whloh binds him or her
under sacred vowb assumed for better
or for worse? But one Is conceivable
—that one the ruling of a court that
the complaint Is Just, and that the
separation prayed for should receive
the law's sanction.
By the side of this mortifying spec
tacle, the Infamous enactment by a
Florida legislature of a statute which
maintains that Insanity is satisfactory
ground for divorce appears almost
praiseworthy, for her Insanity may at
loast prevont a wife's realization that
she la being cast off by an unworthy
husband.
We can conceive of no greater
shame to crown a creature, who calls
himself a man .than that he should de
sire to desert n wife In the hour of her
affliction, and a woman who would act
In the same way Is no better. Nor
can we Imagine a more Iniquitous mis
carriage of Justice than for a court to
grant a divorce on the grounds cited
In this humiliating California case,
reau? It said: "The conclusion of
the commission Is that the circum
stances do not require nor Justify It to
order a reduction in rates from Atlanta
toJJavannah and Brunswick. First, be
cause It does not feel called upon to
make special rates to enable Atlanta
to sell goods In two other Jobbing
towns In Georgia, namely Savannah
and Brunswick, nor In territory tribu
tary to them."
Tho commission named two other
reasons for refusing to grant the petl-!
t.lon of the Atlanta Freight Bureau,
but as they have very little bearing |
upon South Georgia we do not give ■
them. We . simply want to call atten-!
tlon to the fact that If the people of
Savannah, Brunswick and other South
Georgia towns do not, want the whole
sale business practically destroyed
they will not give their support to Mr.
Hoke Smith, who has the hearty sup
port of the Atlanta Freight Bureau.
The basis of Hon. Hoke Smith’s fight
for lower freight ■ rates Is, In Its last
analysis, a scheme to get special rates
into South Georgia .for Atlanta, so
that the wholesale merchants of that
city, can gather In the wholesale busi
ness of the South Georgia towns. If
there is any South Georgian who has
a doubt of this let him study the vari
ous publications that have been made
of the proceedings of the Railroad
Commission since the beginning of the
gubernatorial campaign.
The South Georgia towns, If they ex
pect to prosper, must foster their
wholesale trade. What chancq would
they have of holding that trade If the
Railroad Commission should grant
specinl rates to Atlanta? And Judging
from what Is known of Mr. Smith's
connection with the Atlanta Freight
Bilreau, prior to his announcement of
his candidacy, and of his sympathy
with Atlanta's purposes, Isn't It likely
that Atlanta would get the special
rates for which she has been contend
ing if Mr. Smith should have the pow
er to appoint railroad commissioners?
South Georgia Merchants May Wake
Up Too Late.
From the Macon Telegraph.
The Albany Herald makes some per
tinent remarks about the decisions of
Judge Pendleton, of Atlanta, In the
stove rate case, and Incidentally points
a moral as to the Atlanta demand Jn
the port rate case, Bhould the present
railroad commissioners be “removed”
from office under certain possible con
tingencies, as has beeq threatened, be
cause they did not grant the Atlanta
demand.
It may be that the South Georgia
^merchants will wake up to many
truths that the Telegraph has been
pointing out to them when It Is too
late.
The Columbus Ledger heads Its re
port of Saturday’s baseball game in
this city, “Albany Pie for Columbus."
Melville Ingalls, the Western rail
way magnate, was induced by a friend
while spending Sunday with him lo
attend service at a church, the pastor
of which Is noted for the extreme
length of his .sermons. As the frlands
wore leaving at. the conclusion of the
service the Bostonian, with a touch of
pride, Inquired; “Dr. Blank is a most
eloquent minister, Is he not?” "Very
eloquent," was the dry response of the
railroad man, "but he has poor ter-
mlnal facilities."
It seems that tho. cost of severing
and paving Havana, whloh will take
six years, la estimated at $9,000,000.
Of this the city feels unable to pay
more than $3,000,000, and the State
Is asked to foot the rest of the hill.
President Palma will therefore consult
the Cuban Congress, arid If an under
standing should be reached the Im
provement will be undertaken, the
money being appropriated as needed
and the Interest that would be paid on
a loan saved, -A great many pebble,
not of Cuba except as visitors, are
Interested In this work, and quite ns
much in the scheme, long since pro
posed, to cut a channel through the
land that locks the harbor In, so as
to give tho tides the chance denied
them now to flow through and carry
away the city accumulations that be
foul It.
Time for Real Democrats to Get
Together.
From the Macon Telegraph.
The Atlanta Journal claims to have
convicted Bright Ben Russell—ex-Con-
gressman Russell—of Batnbrtdge, of
an attempt to unite real,old-time Dem
ocrats In resistance to the Hines-Wat-
son-Journal-Smlth scheme to subvert
the Democratic party and turn It over
to those who have been for twelve or
fifteen years seeking Its life. If that
Is so, then we say, “Hurrah for Ben
Russell!” It is time real Democrats
were getting together.

MOCK & RAWSON.
A Freight Rate Campaign.
From Savannah News.
Have not the people of the South
Georgia towns heard enough in the
present gubernatorial campaign to
convince them that one of the things
that was aimed at when Hon. Hoke
Smith became a candidate for the gu
bernatorial nomination, was to secure
freight rates between Atlanta and the
ports that would enable Atlanta mer
chants to grab the trade of the South
Georgia cities—to make It practically
Impossible for these cities to do any
wholesale business? The rates that
Atlanta wants wpuljd enable her to sell
goods even In Savanriah and Bruns
wick, and If she coifld sell goods in
these ports what chance would Daw
son, Albany, Amerlcus, Cordele, Tlf-
ton, Waycross, Valdosta and other
South Georgia cltleB have to do
wholesale business of any kind?.
Of course there 1b a vigorous denial
that Atlanta has any such purpose,
but the records - show to .the contrary.
