MONDAY, JUNE 18, 1906. • 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 not .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. THIS DATE IN HISTORY.

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. What was it that the Railroad-' Com- IK J. K. PRAY. President. A. P.
