DEFEAT OF SENATOR CARMACK
I
Senator Carmack of Tennessee,
the bold, brilliant, aggressive man
that he has ever been, has gone
down before the people in defeat.
His victorious competitor, Ex-
Governor Robert L. Taylor known
as the man with the silver tongue
and an old fashioned fiddler, has
captured the senatorial prize.
The combination against Car
mack was too strong. Senator Ed
Carmack, the great student, could
not become a crooked, designing
politician, he could not and would
not go before the people on bend
ed knee, fawning and making
false promises. Whether right or
wrong he dared to maintain his
position and ask quarter of no
man.
His retirement will be in the na
ture of a great loss to Tennessee
and the United States Senate; and
his friends can but sorrow over
his defeat. He is a great man
however, and will accept the sit
uation philosophically, for he
would not flatter Neptune for his
trident, nor Jove for his thunder.
WEARY OF PARTY IN POWER
Justat this time the phenomena
is witnessed in this couutrv of the
people tiring of the party in power
during a period of marked pros
perity. Heretofore dissatisfaction
with a party in power has followed
an era of adversity, for which the
party in power at the time was
held responsible for, whether right
or w rong. The party under whose
rule bad times come was destined
to defeat. But now the shifting
of confidence from the majority to
the minority party is well ad
vanced . This is a condition which
could only exist because the im
pression has gone forth that the
republican party is so discordant
and so hopelessly divided that it
is no longer able to be of service
to the country. It has impressed
the voters with the belief that it is
unable to do things. Hence it
will be retired, so that it may at
leisure repent of its folly.
The tariff fattened trusts of this
country are, ot course, willing to
stand pat. They don’t want any
revision of the tariff schedules.
Their only uneasiness is their abil
ity to hold their friend, the repub
lican party, permanently on its
stand pat platform. This is the
troubling question.
Note the difference; Tom Wat
son urges his party to vote in the
democratic primary, where they
certainly have no business, while
Harry Edwards, a Republican, de
clares that no self-respecting mem
ber of his party will do so.
Alabama is still clamoring tor a
freight rate as low and reasonable
as that of Georgia, w hile over here
the populists and their democratic
representatives are yelping for
something still lower than that we
already have.
Judge Fite’s defeat tor Congress
a few days ago has led to the hope
that he can be defeated for the
judgeship of his circuit next time.
And the boys are going to give
him a run for their money at all
events.

A BOOKLET FOR THE FARMERS
President M. L. Johnson of the
Georgia division, Southern Cotton
Association, will issue about June
1 an attractive little booklet which
will contain much information of
interest and value to farmers and
business men all over Georgia.
The issue will be sufficient in Dum
ber for distribution, particularly
among the farmers, in every county
in the state.
This booklet will deal with the
history of the marketing of the
cotton crop for the last twenty-five
years, the organization and pur
pose of and results accomplished
by the Southern Cotton Associa
tion, what may yet be accom
plished by organization and better
business methods, and much other
in formation of general interest and
importance.
It is the purpose of President
Johnson to place this booklet in
the hands of every farmer in Geor
gia and to that end he is now se
curing lists from each county in
the state.
“It is my desire to have every
farmer in Georgia thoroughly fa
miliarize himself with the doc
trines, objects and purposes of the
association,” President Johnson
said, “for we must look to the co
operation of individuals to attain
success in our work. I want them
to know, too, that this success is
growing and expanding as the
work progresses, and as others
come to join in the greatest move
ment of the age.
“In this connection I want to
say a word to the cotton planters,
particularly of North Georgia,
many of whose crops have been
destroyed by the recent frosts and
heavy rains.
Dont replant in cotton uuless
you are absolutely sure that you
have a full and sufficient supply
of forage and food crops, If Prov
idence has taken a hand in reduc
ing the acreage, don’t attempt to
defeat it by replanting every acre,
for you may do so to your own
cost. Produce your home sup
plies first, and then, if you will,
put the rest in cotton.
“I sincerely trust that the Geor
gia farmers will not listen to the
cry of coming disaster unless we
raise a crop of 12,000,000 bales or
more. The disaster, if there be
any, from a crop below that figure
will be to the spinner and not to
the farmer. Such a crop is almost
sure to bring the disaster of low
prices to the fajmer. It is this,
above all things, that he should
seek to avoid.”
TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING
Some of the correspondents are
beginning to point out that many
people are likely to become pau
perized by the relief received at
San Francisco. General Greely,
in his dispatches, has called at
tention to the disinclination of
some able-bodied men to get to
work and he has taken measures
to make conditions uncomfortable
for them. A great many folks
move along the line of least resist
ance, and they have no ambition
to do anything for themselves so
long as others are willing to do for
them. There must be people of
that brand in San Francisco, but
the spirit that has been displayed
by the bulk of the atllicted popu
lation has been admirable.
NOT PLEASED WITH THE PLAN
We cannot say we are enamored
of the plan of voting followed in
the Senatorial primary. There
were too many chances for fraud
ulent voting under this method.
The primary named the man who
is to represent Tennessee in the
Senate for six years, and it should
have been conducted under all the
restrictions of a regular election.
The primary is the finality in this
State; the regular election is mere
ly a formality; all the more rea
son why primaries should never
be held except under legal rules. —

TEDDY SCENTS THE DANGER
It is reported on good authori
ty from Washington that a secret
canvass is now being made in tfie
house of representatives, at the in
stance of President Roosevelt, to
determine the actual sentiment of
the republican members in regard
to the tariff and other questions.
With this announcement comes a
renewal of the story that toward
the close of the session, or soon af
ter it, the president will take oc
casion to declare himself in favor
of a moderate revision of the tar- j
iff. Mr. Williams, the minority
leader in the house, made a strik- j
ing speech on Friday, in which he
predicted the defeat of the repub
lican party if it attempts to adhere
to its standpat attitude. He told
the republican leaders in the house:
“You have got to revise this tariff. I
If you don’t we will, because our
common masters, the people of
America, have made up their mind
that it shall be revised. I tell you J
that every man who worships the
schedules of the Dingley bill as an
idol in the temple of Diana is
doomed to defeat. Not now, per-!
haps, not the very next election.;
some of them then, enough of them
to give us the house, unless you re-1
vise the tariff at this session or
the next session of this congress.”
I
In South Carolina the fight in ,
the state campaign seems to be J
mainly over the question of how
whiskey shall be sold. There'
seems to be a disposition to do 1
away with the state dispensary
system. Senator Ben R. Tillman
of that state proposes to come to
the rescue of the dispensary. So
there may be expected a warm 1
time over that issue.

of the suffering and danger in store for her, robs the expectant mother
of all pleasant anticipations of the coming event, and casts over her a
shadow of gloom which cannot be shaken off. Thousands of women
have found that the use of Mother’s Friend during pregnancy robs
confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother
and child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women at the
time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother’s Friend
carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its use
gently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents “morning
