Smith has determined to leave nothing for his successor to •do m the way of uncovering the foundation of the convict lease abuses.

Judging by the number of vetoes ef Governor Smith and the call for the extra session, it would appear that the Georgia legislature “did those things they should not have done and left undone the things they should have done.” Atlanta’* blind tigers are appar- mtly, 3 per ^cent. to 5 per cent hotter stuff than Savannah’s.— Pre«9.

Couldn’t you change every day if you had two pairs? j Democracy and th ; Negro 1 here are some negroes in this country who are taking a consider*, able interest iu the democratic party and its presidential ra^e, believing that the democracy will grant them favors they have never receive 1 at the hand* of the republicans. The democracy wants the votes «f all citiz ns of the republic who believe in good government, but it does not want the voles of the negroes under any idea that they art to be treated in any other manner than the well established custom in this country, that of maintaining the supremacy of’the white man. If there are negroes who are veering to democracy on the idea that they are to be pampered and petted and given privileges over the white man, they might as well be unde ceived From Mr. Bryan (down the democracy stands for the rule of the white man, and there is no use in disguising that fact. The democracy promises nothing to the negro except good govern ment. It promises him every right to which he is entitled under the law.* It guarantees him the protec tion of the law as a citizen of the United States. It pledges its in terest in nis 'welfare so long as he conducts himself aright. It stands f >r piinetples of government under which the poor man, and nearly all the negroes are poor can gf,in a better living. There is mat h to at^ tract the negro to the democratic ticket in this respect and if he had more sense he would see that his best chance lies in the success of the democracy and of the men of the South who are his real friends. ftioasaads to Kidney Trouble and tor Suspect it.

What To Do. There is comfort in the knowledge ro often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, fuMdls every wish in curing rheumatism, oaii 1 in the "back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use ^f liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne cessity of being compelled to go often during the Jay, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

I his legis' I lation was a feature plank in the j democratic plat orm adopted on | June 23d. — One of the important laws t>y the .legislature which has just adjourned is a newregis* tration law. Itstexi ha-‘ not been published in full, and its merits or , demerits cannot therefore oe ac- | onrately judged uniil this is done. But in a general way it is under stood that this new law provides that all voters pay taxes and reg ister at least six mouths before the general state election in October. T' a voter does not qua.ify before April 1, he will be disqualified for th6 remaindei of the year The service pension bill which was passed by the last legislature will go to the people for approval or rejection without the signature of the governor. Governo- Smith would have vetoed the bill ou the ground that there were not sufficin’ funds in the treasury to meet the demand provided for therein, but ol investigation it was found that he had no authority to veto a constitu tional amendment. For this reason the governor passes the measure uj> to the people without his signature. j This Is Illinois. The story that tells how the cap- itol or Illinois the white people, forming a moh to resent an assault upon a white ^woman by a negro, ’not only tried their best to lynch the negro but actually set fire to the negro qu-irter of the city and laid many negro homes in ashes. This happened in tne very heart of the North where anti-Southern sentiment is rampant, and where the g: eater part ot the criticism of the South comes from. We do not condone lynch law, but at the same Jime it is useless to deny that whenever |tnd where- ever this unmentionable crime is committed the mob 4 will wreak^lt* vengeance u^on the guilty party. It is as true of Illinois as of the South. The only difference is that in the North there ar not as many negroes and consequently fewer of these crimes. Had this occurred in Georgia the Illinois press would have contained j column alter, column of dia f ribe against the people of this state. The j civi'ization of the S ’.r ii would have j been held up to scorn and the peo ple of Georgia would have been painted as barbarians. And all for j political purpose, too. The press of j the South is more considerate of the Northern people. We under stand the subject and while not dis pose i to excuse the crime of lynch ing, at the same time are not dis posed te hurl anathemas at the peo* pie cf an entire section.
