The question of the prorating of the vote for Governor where no candidate receives a majority of a county has been suddenly but effectively taken out of the campaign for Governor by the withdrawal of Judge John C. Hurt, practically narrowing the contest to Brown on one side and Smith on the other, and making it certain that one or the other will receive the majority vote of every county in the State. So it seems that the promise of cam paign excitement over the prorating rule of the State Committee fails of fulfill ment in the unexpected development by which it becomes impossible for that rule to be invoked in the contest for Governor. This brings us to the subject of the withdrawal of Judge Hart, announced in a remarkable communication recent ly published. His short-lived candidacy and the rea sons animating its termination afford one of the most singular chapters in State politics. They also combine to sound a note of warning, the clearness of which is self-evident. Not a nian, woman or child in Geor gia but is convinced of the sincerity of the purpose with which Judge Hart en tered the contest. He, honestly be lieved his would be a campaign which would resolve factionalism and restore peace to Georgia. No statesman could have been animated by a purer motive. In the brutal whirl of politics he has met disillusionment. He has found the line-up behind the two other candidates so set, so immovable, so irrevocable, that his gentle efforts at peace would be as a pin-prick upon the walls of Gi braltar. Sadly enough he sees the futility of the sacrifice he would have imposed upon himself; wisely enough, ho_ re fused to push it further. Men will come and go, issues rise and fade, demagogues reign and fall, and statesmen rule in Georgia, but it is to be doubted if the vicissitudes of any of them will offer a more beautiful, a no bler spectacle than is here afforded in the rarity and the purity of the citizen ship of John Hart. To come in contact with the man is to know his sweetness of nature, his cleanliness of soul, his gentleness of heart. All these qualities, tragically in frequent'in the public man of to-day, were thrown into the fierce fires of fac tionalism in this State. The offering was profitless. .For along with it went an ignorance, no less lovable because it is unusual, of the wiles, the tricks, the subterfuges qf the bitter game of poli tics. For the man lived in Arcady! His dreams of worth, of the possibilities of human virtues, were the dreams—half of child, half of idealist—that grow in that sweetly curious realm that*has neither latitude nor longitude, but is measured by the infinity of imagina tion. Reasoning in that atmosphere, it was not strange that he should have thought possible the sacrifice lie sought to offer his people. But the logic of that shore less country melts in the sordid reali ties of politics, or of everyday life. Any politician, in Georgia or elsewhere, any business man, would have told that to John Hart. / But aside from its personal features, there are some remarkable suggestions made in Judge Hart’s withdrawal an nouncement, and they should put the people to thinking. Without being offensive, he intimates that unless this State reshapes its financial policy, revises its tax sys tem and lets business take precedence over politics—at least for a while—its people will reckon a day of accounting not less embarrassing than appalling. With the clearness of the trained law yer and the devotion of the statesman, he shows the penalties of mixing parti sanship with government, and without reference to Brown or Smith in this specific campaign, he shows the danger of a partisan Legislature joining battle with a Governor of an opposite parti san faith, its chief purpose seeming to be to thwart his every plan, to set traps for him, to ignore his every suggestion —all the outgrowth of purely political motives. The brief political experience of John Hart, Arcadian, will not have been without its blessing if it focuses the attention of Georgians upon the cost to them of that feudism that continually racks the State, business, statecraft, progress. The Constitution takes a cue for a remedy from this suggestion— The contest has narrowed to an irre ducible minimum; the voters must .ar bitrate as between Brown and Smith. Something to Remember. Wesleyan Christian Advocate. The following brief but suggestive statement is taken from the Fourth of July oration of Judge Emory Speer, delivered in Macon. May the record incite our young men to noble deeds and high aims. Judge Speer said: This is the birthday of our great re public. So far as I know, this is the first time it has been formally celebra ted as of yore by an organized camp of Confederate veterans. The Confeder ate soldiers, of whom the veterans of to-day survive, were Southern men — that is to say, they were, and the sur vivors are, Americans of the Southern States. Of all others, it seems to me that we should celebrate the Fourth of July, our country’s natal day. A Southern man, Patrick Henry, be fore the old House of Burgesses, in Virginia, thrilled mankind with the un dying words, "give me liberty or give me death.” A Southern man, Thomas Jefferson, penned the Declaration of Independ ence, which you have just heard. A Southern man, George Washing ton, against the most adverse fortunes, led the patriot armies of our forefath ers to final victory. A Southern man again, Thomas Jef ferson, by the Louisiana Purchase added to our country all that .territory comprising the States of Louisiana, Ar kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Colo rado, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Wash ington, Wyoming and Oklahoma. A Southern man, Andrew Jackson, commanded the fathers and grandfath ers of the veterans of Lee and Forrest, Wheeler and Johnston, at New Orleans, and inflicted the bloodiest defeat upon a proud and disciplined British urmy ever sustained where such army was not to tally destroyed. A Southern man, James Monroe, ut tered the momentous word, which gave to the powers of Europe conclu sive warning that any future at tempts to establish their colonies upon any foot of that hemisphere discov- ered'by Columbus would not be tolera ted by the American people. A Southern man, John Forsyth, of Georgia, added to our territory tile Reviera of the New World, the “Land of Flowers, ” the vast empire of Florida. A Southern man, Sam Houston, at San Jacinto, won from Santa fyina the empire of Texas. A Southern man, Winfield Scott, of Virginia, planted the stars and stripes above the halls of the Montezumas. A Southern man, Zachary Taylor, of Louisiana, lpd the gallant volunteers of our country from Palo Alto Resaca de la Palma via Monterey to Buena Vista, and there on the bloody slopes of that famous field the Mississippi Rifles, with unflinching valor and deadly aim for hours rolled back and swept away the charging columns of Mexico. In com mand of the American regiment stood their colonel, a Southern man. His name, Jefferson Davis. As the result of these victories, under the Presidency of a Southern man, JameB K. Polk, through the treaty of Gaudolupe Hidal go, to our country was annexed the ter ritory comprising the vast States of California, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona. It will thus be seen, except in the ac quisition of Alaska and Hawaii, which are to be accredited to Northerh diplo macy, and of the insular possessions, in which the participation of Confeder ate veterans and their sons were sur passed by none—every foot of that vast empire, much more than half of our territory, which has been acquired since the peace with Great Britain, is direct ly ascribable to the statesmanship, the constancy, the foresight, or the daring of Southerh men.

So far ns we have been uble to judge, the people of the State have not re garded tile message of Gov. Brown to the Legislature as a challenge to Hon. Hoke Smith to become a candidate for Governor th s year. Those who have taken time to study the question have had no difficulty in arriving at the in evitable conclusion that the message is in line with the mandates of the Demo cratic platform that was adopted by the convention which nominated Mr. Brown, and also that it is pretty much the same us the recommendations contained in his Hrst message to the Legislature. In view of these facts it is difficult for them to understand how the recom mendations contained in the message can be construed ns a challenge to former Gov. Smith. About the only recommendation made by Gov. Brown that was not contained in the platform adopted by the last State Convention was that in reference to the repeal or amendment of the reg istration law of the State, closing the books thirty days prior to the date of the general election inatead of six months. When the platform wns adopted that law had not been enacted, but the Legislature that mot after Gov. Brown was nominated, but be fore he became Governor, passed it. Among other recommendations by the Governor is one to amend the tax laws so ns to regulate taxation, making one dollar bear as much of the burden as another. The platform declares for an "economical administration of our State government, and to that- end we pledge ourselves to a reduction of taxa tion as quickly and to as great an ex tent as practicable.” The only way to do this is to make every dollar bear its fair share of taxation. Is that a chal lenge to ex-Gov. Smith? Isn’t he in favor of a just system of taxation? The Governor recommends the prompt payment of the school teachers of the State. The platform is equally explicit in its mandate favoring us "liberal ap propriations for the common schools bb the public finances will allow, and the prompt payment of the teachers.” No challenge there. The Governor recommends the estab lishment of a State bureau of labor. The ninth plank of the platform of 1908 says: "We favor the establish ment of » department of labor.” That doesn’t challenge the ex-Governor, so far. as we are able tojiee, - The Governor recommends the re duction of the Railroad Commission from five to three members. Plank 13 of j|the platform opposes unnecessary oilices which levy additional taxes on the people, and asks the Legislature to scan Georgia’s payroll to the end that all sinecures may be cut off. It con tinues: ”We especially favor a reduc tion in the membership of the Railroad Commission from five to three, and the abolishment of the ofilce of special at torney to the same.” If the ex-Gov- ornor opposes that, ho opposes the ex pressed will of the Democrats of Geor gia in convention assembled. Other recommendations of the Gov ernor which may not be specifically mentioned in the platform are in line with economy and the equalization of taxation. So, juBt. how Mr. Smith or his friends can look upon the message as a challenge to the ex-Governor to become a candidate, we do not under stand. It muBt be a strange process of reasoning that they employ. ALL TIRED OUT. Hundreds More In Newnan in the Same Plight. Tired all the time; Weary and worn out night and day; Back aches; side aches, All on account of the kidneys. Must help them in their work. A Newnan citizen shows you how: One kidney remedy never fails. Newnan people rely upon it. That remedy is Doan’s Kidney Pills. Newnan testimony proves it always reliable. A. G. W. Foster, living near North Jackson street, Newnan, Ga.. says: "I would not take one hundred dollars for the good Doan’s Kidney Pills afforded me; in fact, I can Hay that they have made a new man out of me. Probably due to advanced age, my kidneys were badly out of order and caused such in tense pain through my loins that I could hardly get about. At night I was restless and unable to sleep and would arise in the morning tired and worn out. My general health was being gradually undermined and I was at a loss to-know what to do. The kidney secretions were very scanty and quite frequent in action. When I procured Doan’s Kidney Pills at Lee pros’, drug store, I hardjy thought that they would help me, as I had used so many reme dies without any benefit. I soon changed my opinion of them, however, as I had taken them only a short time when every symptom of my trouble was banished. I am now in trie best of health, considering my ago, and only wish I could let every sufferer from kidney trouble know of the great value of Doan’s Kidney Pills.” For sale by all dealers.

Clarcnco Poo In Profrrasslvo Farmer and Gur.otto. The reverence for Old Glory’s stars and stripes I yield to no man North or West. But for the South every true Southerner must feel a distinct and pe culiar affection. That she is behind the North and West in many respects, we grant. The people of the South livo yet in shabbier houses; there are too many ramshackle barns; the fields are less thoroughly plowed, patches in stead of broad, well-kept fields, and the land lias been too often neglected and allowed to wash. The beautiful herds of cattle, the sleek Percheron plow-horses two or three abreast, the trim lawns, the great red barns—these are no longer the rule ns in the West. There ure also fringes of disreputable- looking cabins on the edges of these Southern towns,' and too often the white people, from association with the lower ideals of neatness and thrift on tile part of a more backward race, seem to hove suffered a pitiful sagging of their own racial standards. The rouds here are in worse condition; there are ton times as many people who can't read and write, and the schools are by no means as efficient as in the North and West. And yet, in spite of all theso things, I would not live in the West. Rather must the true Southerner feel that bg- cause of these things the call is all the more imperative for him to stay in the South. The task of betterment, the task of improving these conditions— this is his, and he dare not run away from it. As well might a soldier desert his post in time of battle. If your neighbor’s field iB plowed well, do not wish for it, but plow your own well; if your neighbor's children aro well edu cated, do not wish for his, but educate your own. And so our duty is not to covet the beauty and thrift and enter prise of the West, but to give our lives to bringing to the South the same high degree of beauty and: thrift and pro- gresaiveness. To educate ail our boys and girls in longer and better and more' practical, public Bchools, and to educate our older people through farm papers and demon stration work nnd farmers’ institutes, etc. —this must be our main hope of doliverance.

On the first flour of the building was a drug store. All New York drug stores must have big bottles of colored liquids in their windows, oth erwise people might think they wore just ordinary bntcher Bhops. The rays of the sun fell upon and through one of those big, globular bottles, which acted as a lens or sun-glass, focusing the rays on unothor bottle that contained an ex plosive compound. Presently there was a loud bang and a burst of flame, and boforo help could bo called the building was burning.

Peter McNally, the swimmer, is well. known for the stories he tells—but one of his host was told recently. Mr. Mc Nally and several friends were dining in a small restaurant when a man with a grouch entered and sat at their table. The grouch ordered lamb chops. Sev eral minutes later the chops wore served. They were slightly burned. The grouch called to the gaiter and said: "What are these, lamb chops or pork chops?” The waiter replied. “Don’t you know?” Tho grouch ans wered, "No,” and then the waiter sar castically replied: "What difference does it make, then?” Cheerful idiocy cun make a man surer of the success of his plans than the profoundest wisdom.
