RUNNING IN HIS OWN INTEREST
In answer to the charge of Hoke
Smith that he was running in the
interest of another candidate Judge
Russell, in his speech at Dawson
recently, showed that months be
fore Smith entered the race every
grand jury in his judicial circuit
had unanimously endorsed him
for governor and that the Asso
ciated Press, upon his authority,
had announced that he would re
sign from the bench and enter up
on an active campaign for govern
orship. “This was three months
before Hoke Smith had been called
by God or man,” exclaimed Judge
Russell,
ENTITLED TO A SQUARE DEAL
The Government investigators
make serious charges against the
packing houses. The
packers deny the charges,or, rath
er, some of them. Nothing short
of a thorough investigation by an
impartial committee of Congress
will get at the truth. The coun
try is entitled to the facts, and the
packers are entitled to a “square
deal.” We are inclined to be
lieve the Government experts, but
at any rate, a full investigation
will result in an improvement of
the conditions. There is little
doubt things at the packing-houses
are far from what they should be.
THE GOOSE WAS YANKED!
There were some stormy times in
the Congress over which the late
Speaker Crisp, of Georgia, presid
ed, and, it was occasionally neces
sary to invoke the authority of
the sergeant-at-arms by bringing
out the mace, as his emblem of au
thority.
The mace is a gilded bundle of
bound around with s, broad
band and snrm' with a saucy
eagle. When it is car
ried down the centre aisle of the
House everybody is supposed to
keep quiet or suffer the penalty.
The House was in a turmoil one
day and a Southern Kepresenta
tive was presiding, having been
called to the chair by Speaker 1
Crisp. The veteran “Ike” Hill
was acting as sergeant at-arms.
The disturbance became so great
that the temporary Speaker could
do nothing.
Seeing Hill in the centre aisle he
commanded: “Ike, yank the
goose!” '

LET TARIFF BE THE ISSUE
There is a promise that the tariff
will be the issue in the campaign
of 1908, and there is some proba
bility that the Democrats may ob
tain possession of the House on
this issue. An impetus was given
the tariff question and its endur
ing and permanent importance out
lined at the dinner in New York
Saturday evening, when John
Sharp Williams, ex-Gov. W. L.
Douglas, of Massachusetts, and
others spoke.
Gov. Douglas, who is one of the
leading shoe manufacturers of the
country, and an authority on the
question, said:
“We do not produce enough
hides to make our own boots and
shoes. About 25 per cent, of all
leather made in this country is
made from imported hides.
“Could these and sole leather
come in free of duty we could not
only make cheapor shoes, but we
could increase our export business
manyfold. For, strange to say,
we now export more than $8,000,-
000 of shoes a year, handicapped
as we are by onerous and unj ust
duties.”
He held, however, that the re
moval of the duty on hides alone
i would not result in giving us low
er prices for sole leather, but gave
it as his opinion that by the re
moval of the needless duty on hides
and sole leather the shoe manu
facturers of this country could in a
few years increase their export
business by $100,000,000 annually.
He showed conclusively also
that the removal of tariff on coal
will give much cheaper coal, and
at the same time, would largely in
crease the exports of coal.
The necessity for reducing the
tariff on lumber, iron and other
raw products was very convincing
ly shown by the speeches made.
It is one of the surprises of poli
tics that the I >emocrats have al
lowed themselves to be led off by
other issues. So long as a few in
dustries can be built up by Gov
ernment aid, and a comparatively
few men enriched, at the expense
of the millions of citizens of this
country, abuses of every kind in
government will follow.
If the tariff is to be revised, it
cannot be left to those who believe
in the principle of protection.
The tariff can only be revised in a
way that will benefit the country
by those who believe in tariff re
form. The Republican party can
not be trusted !}o revise the tariff.
Twenty-three veterans of the
civil war are in the United States
Senate, of whom thirteen were con
federates. In the lower house are
thirty-two who served in the Un
ion army and twelve were Confed
erates. The total of sixty-seven
civil war soldiers in Congress for
ty-one years after is a striking
fact.

GEORGIA IS AFTER IMMIGRANTS
According to an Atlanta dis
patch, Representatives from Rich
mond county will introduce a bill
in the coming legislature seeking
to widen the scope of the state
board of immigration and make it
an effective working organization
for bringing desirable immigrants
into Georgia. Recently the immi
gration congress met in Augusta
and a draft was made of the pro
posed amendments to the immigra
tion act.
At the request of the congress
this will be introduced in the house
by the Richmond county delega
tion.
Under the present act the com
missioner of agriculture is the of
ficial head of the immigration bu- 1
reau, but about all the authority
he has is bound up in the right to
have printed a hand-book of infor
mation about the state, which is
to be sold to those who want it.
As the demand for such a publica
tion would be far below its cost, a
publication of sufficient scope has
not been attempted, especially
since no appropriation was made
with which to get it out.
With other widenings of the bu
reau’s functions, the new measure,
or rather amendment to the old
law, carries an appropriation of
$20,000 to be used within the dis
cretion of the commissioner of ag
riculture. Commissioner Hudson
is in favor of the proposed amend
ment, as the old act is of little val
ue or force.
Tennessee is not in the earth
quake belt, but a meeting of the
Democrats in state convention
gives the people all the sensations
of seismic disturbance.

FIERY ACIDS IN THE BLOOD
All skin diseases are due to the same cause—an excess of acid in the
blood caused by faulty assimilation of food and poor bowel action ; this
fiery acrid matter is forced to the surface through the pores and glands.
Pustules are formed, discharging a sticky fluid which dries and makes a crust,
causing intense itching. When the crusts or scabs are scratched off the
skin is left raw and bleeding. Dear Sirs LTy body broke out with a

FIRST TRAMWAY ENGINE.
Helicvcii to Have Heen Invented by
Diehard Trevithick.
Who was the great genius, for lie
um.st h ue been such, lirst to conceive
and apply steam locomotion? Accord
ing U> a drawing of one of the earliest
steam locomotives, or, as it was desig
nated at that time, “high pressure train
engine," invented by Iticliard Tre
vithick, which drawing was made in
accordance with the testimony of ilees
Jones, who aided in the litting, and
William itielmrds, its driver, it is prov
ed to the satisfaction of historians that
to Trevithick is due the credit for the
application of steam to locomotion. In
this on-fine the exhausted steam was
discharged into the chimney stack and
the wheels were combined together-,
(finder .out!) the drawing it is stated
that il.e engine was designated on Un
original plan, dated 1803, as "Tre
vithick’s high pressure train engine"
and was constructed partly in Corn
wall and partly at Pen-y-Darren works
by Richard Trevithick, engineer for
Samuel Ilorefray. proprietor of the
Peu-y-Darren Iron works.
The story is related as a historic.!'#
fact that Merthyr Tudyvil, while Uis
cussing the principles and feasibility
of locomotive steam engine power with
Richard Crawshay of the Cyfartlifa
Iron works, made a bet of 1,000
guineas that he would convey by steam
power a load of iron to the capital nav
igation house (nine miles distant) along
the basin tram road, which by means
of this engine of the great Trevithick
he afterward effected and won his
wager, although the heavy gradients,
sharp curves and frangible nature of
the cast iron trackway operated against
the return of this ingenious but rudely
constructed machine with the empty
trains; hence its discontinuance.- Rail
