C Fancy grades bringing better prices. The Atlanta Constitution keeps a supply of mud on hand all the time. We like the toue ot Commission¬ er Hudson’s lirst letter to the far¬ mers of Georgia. President Roosevelt will be ac¬ corded a warm hospitality when he comes to Georgia. There is no use for anybody to be out of work—the provisional tramp, notwithstanding. The Columbus Ledger thinks V . ♦ Judge Russell should’t expect the Stay . support him and his ^ time children. l '-'ere’s not much danger. 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 Union Reorder. 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.
