Won’t Embarrass Gov. Brown,
Albany Herald.
Word comes from Atlanta that for
mer Gov, Smith and those members of
the Legislature who are willing to do
his bidding are doing all in their power
to embarrass the administration of Gov.
Brown in every way possible, and to
block all the legislation that he has rec
ommended. It is asserted that the in
jection of another prohibition fight by
the introduction of the Alexander bill
to outlaw near-beer is part of a politi
cal scheme to embarrass the new ad
ministration.
The Alexander bill may have the ef
fect of adding to the congestion al
ready apparent in the Legislature, and
may be used to so clog the wheels of
legislation that very little can be ac
complished at the present session, but
if Gov. Brown’s enemies imagine that
he can be embarrassed by the passage
of the Alexander bill or of any other
measure amending or in any way chang
ing the present prohibition law they
will, in our opinion, find themselves
greatly mistaken and will meet with
disappointment.
The prohibitionists exacted a pledge
from Gov. Brown while he was a candi
date for the office to which the people
of the State have elected him by an
overwhelming majority that he would
veto any bill amending the present pro
hibition law, and it will not embarrass
him one whit to stand by that pledge.
The prohibitionists, having exacted that
pledge from Candidate Brown at a time
when it was being charged that he was
the candidate of the liquor interests are
the last people in the world who ought
now to be pressing a measure in the
Legislature which he could not sign
without stultifying himself. Dr. John
E. White, one of the committee of pro
hibitionists who called on Mr. Brown
last year to sign the pledge referred to,
takes the proper and only honorable
view of the matter. In a card he states
the case fairly and expresses his views
clearly as a consistent prohibitionist
and honorable man. I)r. White covers
the ground completely, from the stand
point of a prohibitionist who “believes
in honor among prohibitionists,” and
the following paragraph from the Dem
ocratic platform of 1908 clinches it
from a party standpoint:
“12. The successful candidate for
Governor, having by his public utter
ances removed the prohibition question
from the field of legislation for tne next
two years, we should therefore discour
age by all legitimate means any effort
to repeal, emasculate or weaken the
present law, and favor its honest and
strict enforcement.”
Our prediction is that if the Alex
ander bill is passed Gov. Brown will
promptly veto it, and that he will do it
without the least embarrassment.

-Ex-Gov. Hoke Smith believes that
the negro lacks the power of initiative,
and that he will never acquire it except
through the white rnan. He advocates
a more equal distribution of the colored
population throughout the country as a
cure for the race problem. He advises
that more white people come South,
and that a greater number of negroes
go North. This shifting he believes
would equalize the burden and give all
the white people an opportunity to
study the negro and better his condi
tion. Among other things Ex-Gov.
Smith said that “experience shows
that negroes improve most rapidly
where there are fewest negroes in pro
portion to the number of whites. The
best friend of the negro should seek his
distribution to all sections.”
In the barber shop the scissors clicked
merrily away, and the barber’s dog lay
on the floor close beside the chair, look

cupant who was having his hair cut
“Nice dog, that, ” said the customer.
“He is, sir,” said the barber.
“He seerns very fond of watching
you cut hair.”
“It ain’t that, sir,” explained the
barber, smiling. “Sometimes I make
a mistake and take a little piece off the
customer's ear.”

Who Pays for Atlanta’s Victory ?
Madison, Ga., July 17. —Hon. J. Pope
Brown, State Treasurer, made an ad
dress to the Farmers’ Union of thi-
county Thursday, in which he had softies
thing to say about Atlanta’s recent vic
tory over Nashville in the grain decision
of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Mr. Brown read from an Atlanta paper
which stated that Atlanta would now
be able lo lay down grain at Forsyth,
Jonesboro and other Georgia points as
cheap as Nashville, and that Atlanta
and other Georgia wholesale centers
could enter the territory formerly mon
opolized by Nashville.
“As the decision of the Commission
did not decrease tiny rate, but increased
the rate from Nashville s > as to equal
ize it with that from Atlanta,” said
Mr. Brown, “you may be wondering
what great good can come to the people
of Georgia generally from the Atlanta
victory. It is a well-known principle
that the consumer pays the freight.
“Well, it is the man who plows the
mule that eats the corn who will pay
for this increase in the rate on grain.
Your oats and corn will cost you more
in order that the Atlanta wholesaler
may have the privilege of competing
with Nashville grain brokers.”
Mr. Brown went further and declared
that the farmers deserved little sym
pathy that this state of affairs had
arisen. The real cure was for them
grow their own corn. He pointed to the
famine conditions that were threatened
by the Georgia railroad strike, which h
said would have been entirely impossihl
if the farmers along the line had done
their duty and grown their provisions at
home. He hoped that it would not
come to pass that Georgia farmers were
a class of consumers and not produc
ers of anything but cotton.
