" All that hot air about Hoke Smith losing
oround is awful sad—to those who are spurt
ling it.—The Mansfield Leader.

Hon. Clark Howell has one consoling thought
at least: He will have his name before the pub

The Atlanta Georgian is being welcomed
all over the state by Hon John Temple Graves
many friends. Truly itis a newspaper of the
- first vuality,—~Mansfield L.eader.

It now looks like the race in Crisp will be
an easier victory for Hoke Smith than we had
anticipated, The Howell men are becoming
discouraged and are dividing up, many of them
going to Col. Estill, thus dividing up the anti-
Smith vote.—Cordele Rambler.

Mr. Graves’ new paper, The Georgian, is
not for Hoke Smith for governor. The Georg
jan’s attitude will not please some people—Way
cross Herald.
We nave the gravest doubt that it will
please the anti-Hokers,

The. Thomasville Times-Enterprise pro
pounds this query to Hon. Hoke Smith, candi
date for governor: ‘‘ls you fail to receivc the
nomination at the coming democratic primary,
will you run as an independent candidate?’—
Cordele Daily News.
The Times-Enterprise had but one purpose
in the query, and that was to put Mr. Smith in
a false light.
F O ;
Col. D. B. Jay is gratified at the decision of
the supreme court giving him a new trial in the
case of Bully Williams, charged with burglary.
His client is a cheap negro, but Mr. Jay, while
recognizing the chasm that exists between the
races in social matters, believes that anything
but justice before the courts of the land isa
crime. He believes that he will clear his man
if he can ever bring it down to a question of
evidence,

Hon. B. E. Wilcox was in the city Wednes
day and while here closed a deal with Mr. J. A.
J. Henderson for a valuable piece of real estate
on what is known as “Western Hights.” and
will build an elegant residence thereon with a
view to becoming a resident of this hustling
little city. A warm welcome awaits Mr. Wilcox
and his estimable family.—Ocilla Star.

Addrew P. Rives, of Springvale, referring
to the effort of the state committee to exclude
ex-populist from participation in the state
primary closed his letter this way:
“After all of Gideon’s band, including the
Hon. John W. Andrews, Hon. O. B. Stevens and
Hon. Mason Raines, have scrambled in thro the
windows, no honest whiteman will be refused
admittance at the door.
“Yours,
"ANDREW Rives."”

The new interstate law will carry this
clause:
“That no carrier engaged in intere-state
commegrce shall directly or indirectly issue er
give any free tickets, free pass, or free trans
portation to any person except the officers,
agents employes and attorneys exclusively in
the service of the carrier issuing the same, or
to ministers of religion, inmates of hospitals,
eleemosynary or charitable institutions. Any
carrier violating this provision shall be deemed
guilty of 2 misdeamcanor and shall for each of
fense pay to the United States a penalty of not
less than $lOO nor more than $2,000.”
That fizxes it just like we wanted it toa T.

~ WATER AND LIGHT RATES.
Ever since the current was turned on at the
city electric light plant; ever since the first tap
was made on the city water main, there has been
gross partialities and inequalities In the matter
of rents paid by consumers. Two years ago it
was abominable, outrageous. People consum
ing fifteen to twenty dollars worth of water or
lights paid into the treasury less than two dol
lars while other patrons consumingless than
a dollars worth paid into the treasury three or
four dollar§. We have often referred to the
matter and a great many of the gross errors
have been corrected, but we were astonished to
hear the Superintendent of water and lights say
last night that one drug store was paying $3.00
per month for the same privilege that another
was paying $3.00 per quarter for, and other in
stances of partiality.
The city has been imposed on in this par
ticular until it has become exasperating, The
honest consumer who pays according to his con
sumption is made to contribute to the grafter
who is Willi‘ng to use the city water and light
plant without paying his just proportion,
The Enterprise will make it its business to
follow this matter close for the next few weeks
and keep the public at least informed as to who
is grafting in this matter and what officers are
derelict in their duty. We will make some ene
mies but what of it, we have done that before,
and without any selfish purpose.

The state exectitive committee is vested
with large powers. They are a sacred trust.
They are intended to be employed honorably,
fairly, justly. The members ought to hold
the scale evenly balanced. They ought to
be as upright and as fair as any judge upon the
bench.
Were they? There are not fifty men in
Georgia so confiding or so foolish as to doubt
that this high and sacred trust has not been
kept. It moves almost to tears. The men who
did this thing are men who walk upright in all
the ordinary things of life. They conform to
the usual standard of good faith and personal
rectitude. :
And yet here, where the standards are a
little dimmed by neglect or clouded to the vis
ion, they fell short. Not one of them would
have done it if they had stopped to ask them
selves aside from partisanship and prejucice
and the heat of battle, “Is it right?”
It was agrave perversion of a fiduciary
power, in the interest of a faction.
" And it was so futile. Why not have gone
further and made the wrong effective?
Why not have ordered that no man should
vote in the primary who did not prefer Parker
to Hearst? Or even none who will not agree to
support the candidate preferred by the commit
tee? It would have been more effective and not
one whit less partisan.
The committee have incurred the criticism
of partisanship exposed, without winning the
advantage that comes to the bold and reckless
freelance.—Atlanta Georgian,

The Milledgeville News says that a Hoke
Smith paper cannot tell the truth. We pre
sume this is because the other sainted side has
a monopoly on all the available veracity in exist
ence, as shown by the above assertion.—Camp
bell News.
“The Milledgeville News did not say that.
We said that the Hoke Smith papers would not
tell the truth about the gubernatorial campaign
and the Campbell News has verified our state
ment by misquoting us already. We do not be
lieve there is 2n Hoke Smith paper in Georgia
but what has printed something gotten from
“some source” that they knew was untrue or
greatly exaggerated. If they lingered long
enough to taste their own medicine they would
have seen it. While this paper is supporting
Howell, it is fair toall the candidates, and we
have given more of our space in advertising
Hoke Smith than any other of the candidates,~—-
Milledgeville News.”
The Editor of the Milledgville News re
minds us of brer rabbit where he encountered
a tar baby. Everytime he flounders be gets
fastened a little tighter. Hereis what he did
say:
“A Hoke Smith paper can’t tell the truth
about politics. You may feel perfectly safe in
saying that you can disprove any statemeant any
of them make, and if you take the trouble you
can.”’
Now everybody that knows Editor Vaughn
personally knows that he can tell the truth. A
man who can not tell the truth ought to bs pit
tied, but the man who can, but will not tell the
truth ought to be discouraged, but we know
Editor Vaughn too well and esteemd him too
highly to undertake the task. Anyhow we ex
pect him to sober up and acknowledge that be
