And Sidney Tapp is afraid his
friends will bring him out in the
race for governor. Tapp as a gu¬
bernatorial candidate, is no more
ludicrous than Joe Terrell , a can
didate fur the United States Senate.
We are indeed sorry to note the
oft and unwarranted attacks the
Atlanta Constitution makesagainst
its opponent.- It will some day
lean that a political opponent, is
not so bad as the other fellow
would make believe.
It is amusingly the way the
Howell organs attempt to belittle
Mr. Smith Mr. Smith is a much
bigger man mentally than their
favorite and he will be here ren¬
dering valuable service to Georgia
when hese little mud slingers and
professed moralists are foigotten.
Hon. John Temple Graves, the
brilliant editor and eloquent orator
has announced himself a candidate
for the Ignited States Senate to
succeed A. O. Bacon. Mr. Graves
would make the state a wise and
able representative in the upper
house of Congress blit we are in¬
clined to the belief that he is mak¬
ing a mistako.
The Gubernatorial Race.
The white people of Georgia
know that Hon. Hoke Smith is a
true and loyal Southerner, and
that the Atlanta Constitution’s at¬
tack upon him is made because he
stands in the wav of Hon. Clark
Howell’s long cherished ambition
to be governor of Georgia. No
one knows better than the editor
of the Atlanta Constitution that
Mr. Smith never showed the ne¬
groes preference over the whites
in making appointments. Every
charge that that paper has made
about the appointment of negroes
has been disproven to the entire
satisfaction of every one who has
watched the situation in the past
few mouths. Mr. Smith did ap¬
point negroes to menial places, but
the departments under Mr. Smith,
while he was Secretary of the In¬
terior, were under civil service law
and there were negroes appointed
for which Mr. Smith was no more
responsible than Hon. Clark How¬
ell. The people know that Mr.
How ell has never gotten over the
disappointment that he felt when
lit: i,iw Mi'. Dili ih glvsn a cabinet |
position, Const!-1
They hrlV3 watched the
tution in this campaign indulge in
mud slinging and vituperation,
and they know that it has been
prompted by Hon. Clark Ilowell, j
and in it they saw the spirit t'f |
the man who aspires to be Gov¬
ernor.
No or.e can deny that Mr. Smith
has pitched his campaign on ft high
plane, and that his speeches have
been well received by the people.
They know that Mr. Clark How¬
ell is the man that has been slated
for Governor to succeed Mr. ler
rel. The politicians have come to
believe that they have a right to
name the Governor of Georgia.
and that their choice will be sane
tioned by the people.
They are thinking of the situa¬
tion as it presents itself, and there
is no doubt that Mr. Sun ii will de
feat Mr. Howell.—Millcdgeville

Cotton Mill Labor.
The question of securing the
proper labor for cotton niiils in the
South and \ Ion tv of it is now en¬
gaging the attention of the manu¬
facturers. 11 has come to be so se¬
rious a problem that the building
cf new mills has to a large extent
been stopped, and the manufactur¬
ers say that tins problem must be
solved before there will he much
building of m ils in this, section of
the country.
The Savannah Morning News, in
speaking of this matter, says:
11 It, has been only a few years
since there was a veritable boom
in the building of cotton mills in
the south. Now that movement
has practically ceased and ve.ry few
new mills are in course of erection.
only tlat, but the old mills
are not making any considerable
additious to their plants, Thts, in
the face of an exceptionally large
cotton crop and a greater inll >w
of money into the south than
usual seems to be a rather anom.i
luua uuiiOiliuii; icasuii fvr*
is explained by Hon. G. Gunby
Jordan of Columbus, Ga , in an ar¬
ticle in American Industries. He
says the fact is that the available
cotton mill labor supply of the
south lias been exhausted and that
there cannot be any further exten¬
sion of the cotton manufacturing
industry until a source of labor
supply has been developed. In
many of the mills of the south
much of the machinery is at pres¬
ent idle, for lack of help. One
mill, situated in Mississippi, has
been forced to send to Massachu
setts for spinners, who have come
south under contract for a year at
$2 per day each. Lack of help and
idleness of machinery are serious¬
ly interfering with the profits of
the cotton manufacturing indus¬
try.
Mr. Jordan apparently places lit¬
tle depenettce upon the develope
ments of the negro as a cotton mill
operative, at.d ; s of the opinion
that the only solution of the prob¬
lem lies in inducing immigration
from foreign countries. He has
seen settlements of foreigners west
of the Mississippi that have im¬
pressed him with the desirabillity
and availabillity of foreign immi¬
grant help in southern cotton
mills. ) »
The Greatness of New York.
Some interesting facts are pre¬
sented by a writer in the current
Harper’s Weekly apropos of the
announcement that the latest cen¬
sus gives New York state a popu¬
lation of 7,800,000. According to
this, the Empire State contains
almost twice as many inhabitants
as the ktngdutn of Scotland or the
kingdom of Ireland; more than
Norway and Sweeded put together,
and almost as many as Belgium
and the Netherlands combined.
Its population is more than twice
as large as was that of the whole
United States in 1790, and consid¬
erably larger than was that of all
the United States in 1310.
