LET rS KEEP SOME HOME RULE, j i
Telegrams from Atlanta state that
in all probability an effort will be
made to place street railways under
the complete jurisdiction of the State
Railway Commission at this, or the
next session of the legislature. 4 1
is intimated that the managers of the
street railway systems in the large
cities of Georgia are behind the
scheme, that they prefer to be sub
ject to the State rather than to the
municipalities with their changing ad
ministrations and.political corruption.
There Is no doubt that the Streep
railway systems in all of the cities
suffer, to some extent, because of lo
cal polities. The necessity for stand
ing in with the politicians in control
of the municipal governments doubt
less frequently makes the managers
of these corporations contribute to
campaign funds and do other things
that are contrary to good public poli
cy. Self-protection prompts such a
course on their part, and they are
hardly to be condemned for it under
the circumstances.
But this is no legitimate excuse for
any effort to rob the cities of Geor
gia of the right of home rule, the
right to regulate local corporations of
this nature , as they have done ever |
since street railways came into exis
tence in this state. Street railways
get all their valuable rights from the
municipalities. The right to use the
public highways, laid out and improved
»'.i the expense of the taxpayers of the
municipalities, is conferred upon them
by the cities. The franchise tax that
is now laid upon them by the state
should rightfully go into the municipal
treasuries. In this, as in many other
instances, we see the same tendency
in state as in national affairs, the
tendency to rob the local community
of self government, the tendency to
centralize power in the hands of the
general government of the state and
of the nation. Democrats protest
against the strong federal tendencies
at Washington. The protest should
be equally strong against the same
tendency at Atlanta.
The municipalities should be let
alone in their control of the street
railways within their limits. It is
their business and not the business of
the state government to regulate the
fares, the speed of the cars, the wa
tering of the highways, the schedules
that are to he made, and the other
questions that arise from the opera
tion of street railways.
The State Railroad Commission has
enough on its hands to look after
the steam railways. Many people
think it has not yet come anywhere
near to measuring up to its powers
and opportunities in that department
of activity. There is no occasion for
any extension of its authority to
cover the street railways of the cities
and towns.
The Thomasville Times seems to
think it would be an easy matter to
beat Solicitor General Osborne, of
Chatham next year. If things con
tinue as they are about the easiest
man to beat for anything next year
will be the man who represents the
present city administration there.
Revolutions sometimes move fast in
Savannah, and one is certainly brew
ing already.
' —Think-of a man being in love with
the thermometer at 101 in the “shade.
Yet we have it on the undisputed au
thority of the Thomasville Times-En
terprise that “all over Georgia, in this
perspiry July, thousands of swains are
hesitating on the brink, and thous
ands of girls are trying to aid the
stammering lips to form the momen
tous words.” ,
If there ever was a law ridden coun
try on the face of God's earth it is
this one. Just think of GOO bills in
troduced in the Georgia legislature
and the session not half through. If
Governor Smith really wants to help
the people he will advocate less fre
quent sessions of the assembly.
The Athens Banner calls on the
rural legislators to protect their home
papers by voting against the anti
pass bill of the minority. There is
absolutely no more reason why a
newspaper should not exchange space
for passes than why a lawyer should
not exchange legal k nowledge for
cash.
C C C CURES
Os o*o. SKIN DISEASES
No skin disease can exist without an underlying cause, and in most
instances that cause is either a humor in the blood or an excess of fierv
acids in this vital fluid. TheiTe humors and acids get into the blood, gener
ally because of an inactive and sluggish condition of those members whose
duty it is to collect and carry off the waste and refuse of the body. This
unhealthy matter is left in the system to sour and ferment, and soon the
circulation becomes charged with the acid poison. The blood, in its effort
to rid itself of this foreign matter, begins to throw off the humors, and acids
through the pores and glands of the skin. These coming in contact with
the delicate tissues and fibers with which the skin is so abundantly supplied
produces irritation and inflammation on the surface, and Eczema, Acne,
Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum, or some other troublesome and disfiguring
skin disease is the result. External applications, while they soothe the
itching, and are beneficial in keeping the skin clean, can never cure skin
affections, because they do not reach the blood where the real trouble is
located. \ thorough cleansing of the blood is the only permanent cure for
diseases. S. S. S., the greatest of all blood purifiers, is the best treat
ment. It cures by neutralizing the acids and removing the humors from
the circulation so that the skin, instead of being iiritated and diseased by
the exuding acrid matter, is nourished and soothed by a cooling, healthy
stream of blood. S. S. S. goes down to the ve y bottom of the trouble,
removes the foreign matter and thereby permanently cures every form of skin
trouble. Do not expect to cure a blood disease with local applications alone,
but begin the use of S. S. S., and when you have removed the cause the
skin will be free from disease. Special book on Skin Diseases and any
medical advice free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.

State and Federal Courts Conilict. 1
(Philadelphia Record.)
There are many proper uses for the
writ of injunction, but the employment 1
of the same for the purpose of pre- 1
venting a soverign State rfom tak- 1
ing proceedings under its own penal 1
law looks Very much like an abuse.
The practice is new, one of the ear
lier instances in which it was applied
being the case still pending of the ;
New York Consolidated Gas Company
against the Attorney General and 1
District Attorneys of the State to en
join them from enforcing the i>eualties
for violation of the Eighty-Cent Gas
law. The action of the Pennsylvania
and other railroad companies to test
the constitutionality of the Two-Cent
Rate law bears a superfical resem
blance to the former; hut the com-
in these cases have been cour
teous enough t o submit their
exceptions to the validity of an act
of legislation to the Courts of the
State whose laws are assailed. More
over, the Two-cent Rate law is not
yet in force; the proceedings here
are therefore, of the nature of a
•“feigned issue." Finally, no injunc
|tion has been issued on the ex parte
statements of the complainants.
It is just as well that the conflict of
jurisdiction between the State and
the Federal Courts in North Carolina
should have been so sharp that there
will be no escaping the determination
of the question squarely and unequi
vocally. The enforcement of the
Maximum Rate law of that State
has been enjoined by the Federal Cir
cuit Court for the Virginia-North Car
olina Circuit; Judge Long of the Su
-1 perior Court of the State, has direct
ed the Gradn Jury in his bailiwick to
1 return indictments against violators of
! the act, notwithstanding the injunc-
I tion, and the Governor has directed
- Police Magistratates to proceed with
’ commitments. Indictments have been
I found and offenders against the stat
' ute have been committed and held to
bail. Writs of habeas corpus are
-about to be applied for to United
- States Circuit Judge Pritchard , and
* Judge Long, of the Superior' Court,
1 has taken the prisoners into his own
' custody so that the Federal writ, if
■ it should be granted, would have to
1 be directed to him. The conflict of
" the judicial powers of the State and
■ Federal government is therefore di
rect. If the proceedings of the State
* Court are in contempt of the Federal
r tribunal an effort on the part of the
5 latter to take the prisoner from custo
-1 dy.of the Judge who has committed
5 and holds him would be in contempt
t of the State Court.
A resort to the equity side of a
Court and the staying of proceedings
by injunction are justifiable only when
there is no remedy at law, or where
irreparable injury would be done to
a party unless equitable relief be
granted. That the possible, or proba
ble, enforcement of a penal statute
presents a case calling for equitable
relief has never heretofore been as
serted even when the constitutionality
of t he penal statute has been ques
tioned. The defendant has perfect li
berty to raise this question by demur
rer or plea; and if his demurrer be
overruled, or the plea be held unten
able, 'by the State Courts the ques
tion call be takeu to the Supreme
Court of the united States on writ
of error; and this writ would operate
as a stay of proceedings until final
decision by the highest constitutional
authority in the land. There is no
need for injunction and orders oust
ing the State Courts from their legi
timate jurisdiction; indeed, there is
no justification whatever for such us
urpatory practice.
Fewer offices and better officers, is
the war cry of the Newnan Herald.
But that don't go down with the pres
ent legislature. It seems to simply
hanker for an opportunity to breate
new and good paying berths for poli
ticians. ' j
"Silly twaddle and expensive floun
dering” is the way the Milledgeville
News refers to a lot of the legislative
proceedings at Atlanta. If Governor
Smith has the influence he is suppos
ed to have with the legislature he
might assert it to the advantage of
the entire people.

SHORT PEACH CROP
CLIPS EARNINGS.
DECREASE DIE ALONE 10 THE
[RUT IROP.
)espite Increased Mileage Earnings
Slide Downward this fiscal
Year.
One of the best evidences that there
is a short crop of peaches in Georgia
is shown by the earnings of the Cen
tral railroad, which for the second
week in July are $2,100 less than they
were last year. They earnings of
the system fell off last year from the
same cause, but the decrease this
year for the first two weeks of the
month is far in excess of what it was
last. The entire decrease is easily at
tributed to the shortage in the fruit
and melon crops usually grown along
the line of the Central. are
the figures compared with those of
last year:
Mileage, 1906, 1,890.02; gross earn
ings for second week in July, $213,800.
Mileage, 1907, 1,913.42; gross earn
ings for second week in July, $211,700.
Decrease, $2,100.
For first two weeks of July, this
year, $423,900; last year, $430,100; de
crease this year, $6,200. The decrease
is even more than would appear at
first sight, as the railroad is operat
ing 23.40 more miles of road this year
than it did last year at thi9 date. This
new road is in a very good country
and instead of showing a decrease, as
the figures do, there should and would
be a good increase with a normal
fruit crop.
Tracing the Bullet.
If a bullet to be fired by a marksman
is coated with a fine paste of gun
i powder and gum, says the Dundee
Advertiser, and then with a thin cov
ering of some friction powder, the lat
ter, as the bullet passes out of the gun
barrel, will ignite, and in turn set fire
to the gunpowder paste. The bullet
will then leave a long stream of smoke
' behind it, indicating the exact course
It has taken and enabling the marks
-1 man, if necessary, to correct his aim
for his next shot.
