AMERICTJB, AY 19, 19C6.
Senator Carmack talks like a
man whe means what he says. It
i 3 a habit of the Senator.
Americus’ rapid growth grows
as it groweth, and it is growing as
it never grew, or as it has never
grown before.
The Enquirer-Sun thinks the
shade of Ananias must view with
alarm the new record that is being
made in Washington.
The Man with the Oil Can, says
the Washington Post, is no longer
laughing at the discomfiture of
the Man with the Muck Rake.
Senator Rayner thinks Roose
velt is “so constituted he can’t
look at a trap without fooling with
the spring.” That’s Theodore.
Keep an eye on Babe Bailey.
When a Texan gets mad and calls
another man a liar he expects to
back it up with a little gun work.
Atlanta will hang out the cold
wave flag today. Vice-President
Icebanks, the silent freeze, will be
the guest of Marthasville this
morning.
Teddy has just talked to the
soldiers and sailors. But what he
said to Babe Bailey, who threw
the lie his way, looked much like
00000.
“Democrats pro tern” is w hat
the Macon Telegraph calls Popu
lists who propose to vote for Hoke
just once more in a Democratic
primary.
The Savannah Press remarks
that “it will soon be time for Bob
Taylor to lay down the fiddle and
the bow and take up the shovel
and the hoe in the senate.”
According to printed figures,
1900 Atlantans, those “men of the
spirit” have sidestepped the expo
sition subscription list and will
let others tote the millstone.
In Virginia the democrats are
still jogging along with eight can
didates for governor. After all,
Georgia is to be congratulated with
only her five cherubims.
The editor of the Moultrie Ob
server declares that “wehavener
er read so many incendiary plat
forms since the early days of Pop
ulism as we have read this year.”
The $250,000 fire loss at Macon
hits the insurance companies again
—for a time—but it will only be
necessary to raise the rates a lit
tle. In the end the public always
pays the freight.
Hoke and his press agents, with
written in advance thunder, con
tinue to carry counties, but return
ing democratic sanity soon wins
them back from this populistic
combine.
The Maryland Legislature has
just appropriated $90,000 for the
construction of a macadam boule
vard from Baltimore to Washing
ton, on which convict labor will
be partly employed. The distance
is thirty miles by a route that will
avoid railroad crossings.

CALLAWAY'S LETTER TO SMITH
The very temperate letter which
Hon. E. H. Callaway, of Augusta,
has addressed to Hon. Hoke Smith
relative to the action of the State
Democratic Executive Committee
iu requiring a pledge of loyalty to
the Democratic party from those
taking part in the state Democrat
ic primary, w r ill meet with the ap
proval of Democratic voters. Mr.
Callaway goes over the entire sit
uation carefully, and makes it very
clear that the committee has no
purpose other than to protect the
Democratic party, against those
who are not Democrats at heart,
and who, in voting in its primary
on occasions, have no other object
in yiew than to serve ends of their
own. Their aim is not to build up
the Democratic organization and
make it the dominant political
power of the country.
A man who is a Democrat on
state issues should be a Democrat
on national issues: and the pur
pose of the committee in requiring
allegiance to the national organi
zation was to promote the welfare
ot the party. Mr. Callaway points
out that two years ago, in a speech
delivered in Augusta, Mr. Smith
declared himself strongly iu favor
of. organized Democracy and
against those who opposed the
Democratic party, both state and
national. His argument was
against those who were supporting
Mr. Watson for President.
Mr. Callaway calls attenticn to
the fact that Populist leaders are
advising Populists to accept the
terms for taking part in the Dem
ocratic primary, and doubtless this
advice will be followed. He says
that these leaders have taken no of
fense at the Democratic rules and
he wants to know why a Democrat
should be sensitive on thesubject.
He Doints out that Mr. Sm th is
the only one of the candidates who
has seen fit to criticise the action
of the committee.
In concluding his letter Mr.
Callaway asks Mr. Smith some
very pointed questions, the pur
port of w hich is that a legitimate
conclusion from Mr. Smith’s course
is that he is attacktng the State
Democratic Executive Committee
with the hope of getting the votes
of the 23,000 Populists who voted
for Mr. Watson for President in
the last presidential campaign.
Os course the letter calls for an
answer from Mr. Smith. If the
letter is attacking the constituted
authorities of his party with the
hope of getting the support of
voters outside of his party, he
ought to be willing to say so.—Sa
vannah News.
IMMIGRANTS FOR THE SOUTH
It is announced that the North
German Lloyd Steamship Company
hrs perfected its arrangements to
put on a line of steamers between
the German, French and English
ports and Galveston. That city,
we are .told, was selected by the
officers of the steamship company
because they preferred the Texas
quarantine laws to those of the
other Southern States, but for
what reason we do not know.
However we may well envy the
thrifty Teutonic immigration that
this steamship company will bring
to Texas, for it will undoubtedly
be of great adyantageto that com
monwealth.

A MOUNTAIN OR A MOLEHILL.
The whole country will doubt
less be pleased when the railroad
rate bill is finally disposed of. It
has beed discussed for many weary
weeks, and more than seventy
amendments have been offered.
The most important of these
have been proposed by Senators
Foraker, Elkins, Knox, Dolliver,
Spooner, Long and Bailey, and
the latest is from Senator Allison.
The bill is in such shape that the
ordinary citizen can make neither j
heads nor tails of it, and we doubt
if some of the Senators could give
a lucid statement of the provisions
and effect of the bill. There is
certainly a wide difference of opin
ion on the subject.
The President claims a victory,
while the Senators opposed to him
seem to be well satisfied with the
situation.
This is the result of Congress un
dertaking legislation on a complex
and difficult subject on which
there are few experts.
If there ever was any clamor
for drastic or radical legislation on
the subject it has escaped general
notice. Such interest as there is
in the matter seems to have been
carefully worked up and President
Roosevelt seized upon it and made
the measure his own.
The bill is receiving a strong
Democratic support, but if it pass
es and any credit attaches to it, it
will be known as a Republican
measure, the leading champion of
which is a Republican President.
As it appears now, the bill when
it is passed will be of such a char
acter that only the proverbial
Philadelphia lawyer can make
anything of it.
There are evils which ought to
be corrected, but who can say
that the bill corrects them?
Every democrat in Georgia
should read the open, straightfor
ward, manly letter addressed by
Judge E. H. Callaway to Hoke
Smith anent the action of the state
executive committee.

from the Gubernatoiial race was a

A r inv-spomlent of the Boston Her
ald writes: "it is true there are few
thins; new turn r the sun. Air Weds,’ or
what we call pneumatic beds, were
used by the Romans before the Chris
tian era. The most remarkable duplica
tion of an oi 1 invention is the niekel
hi-the-slot machine. This was first
used during the time and reign of Rain
eses, in the eighteenth dynasty of
Egypt, for the purpose of supplying
holy water, that which had been bless
ed by the priests, to the people who
desired it. Tin* machine was urn shap
ed. with a small cylinder inside,
through which ran a rod connecting a
valve at the bottom of the cylinder
w.tb one at the top. These were oper
ated by a lever, which closed tlie bot
tom valve while opening that at tbt
top, when the cylinder would fid with a
fixed amount of water. To obtain the
water a cup was placed at the orttlet; a
coin of three drachmae, equal to about
73 cents of our money, was dropped
into the ’slot' on to a scale pan in the
end of the lever. This opened the cyl
inder at tlie top and closed the lower
valve, allowing the coin to slide off, the
weight of water closing the top valve,
opening the lower one and allowing the
water to run into the cup. This is the
basis of all patented slot machines of
the present time and dates back to
nearly 3,000 B. C."
