Recently there have appeared in the newapapera of the State aeveral leltera and interviews from lion. W. J. Har ris, chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, in which he crit- icir.ea the rules ndopted hy hia commit tee for the governance of the Slate primary on Aug. HI, and professes se rious concern lest the will of the people may he defeated hv a "deadlocked con vention” unless the rule applying to Governor and U. S. Senators is changed to suit hia views. Coming from Chairman Harris, of nil men, these strictures on the dangers of a "deadlocked convention" would he funny if ho were not apparently bo wrought up over the matter. Even as it is, we find it difficult to take him ae- riously. Mr. Harris is at present en joying the emoluments of a fat office conferred upon him hy a President who was himself a conspicuous example of the "perils” of a "deadlocked conven tion." Mr. Wilson had neither a major ity of the popular vote in the pre-con vention primary, nor a majority of the delegates in the convention. Hon. Chatnp Clark received a clear majority (but not two-thirds) of the convention Vote. Hy reason of a deadlock he was defeated — the only instance, hy the way, where a candidate receiving a ma jority of the vote in a National Demo cratic Convention was not accorded the nomination. After many ballots, and days of deadlock and suspense Mr. Wilson, a minority candidate, was final ly nominated. Thus we behold the evils and the dan gers (according to Mr. Harris) of "dead locked conventions.” It is a sad pic ture, mates; yet Mr. Harris’ animad versions upon the manner in which his chief obtained the nomination at Haiti- more are in rather poor taste, it seems to us; -because the same rule in force at the Baltimore convention will apply, in a modified form, to the nomination of U. S. Senators, Governor and State House officers ut the Macon convention next September. For Mr. Harris to bo now reminding the public of the "dark conspiracy" which culminated in tho nomination of Mr. Wilson, when most people have been trying for nearly two years to for get it, is "the most unkindest cut of all." PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM UNDER INDICTMENT. Did you ever hear of a grand jury in dicting a whole school system? Well, that is what a Dougherty county grand jury did a short time since. After ac knowledging receipt of the annual re port of the County Superintendent of Schools, the grand jury delivered this broadside at tho public school system— "Our investigation lends us to say most, emphatically that something should be done to increase the efficien cy of our schools. If it requires more money, better equipment, or better qualified teachers, they should be pro vided. We sigh for tho day when the public school system shall he no longer run in the interest of teachers, but for the proper education of the pupils. In our judgment, the good old plun of two sessions a day should be restored, in or der that the pupils may receive some individual attention and be required to study in school rather than force pa rents to touch them at home. All pa rents may not have the qualifications to teach, or tho time to devote to it, but every teacher should have the qualifica tions. and the willingness to employ all the time necessary. The career of pu- pds from the Albany schools at college demonstrates the justice of this conten tion.” Commenting upon the strictures of they will have any opposition. They are always at their post of duty, ready to raise their hands at any time for the good of their county and State, and fearless in expressing their disapproval when it comes to matters which they consider detrimental to the best inter ests of the general public. Wo gladly commend them to the people of Coweta as worthy of indorsement for a second term." . fn a second State primary, held in Alabama on Monday last, Chas. Hen derson defeated B. B. Comer for Gover nor hy a majority of 11,000, Few peo ple outside of his own following will re gret Comer's defeat. As a railroad baiter and trouble-maker he was one of the most detestable demagogues that the South has ever known. Now, if Gov. Blouse meets a similar fate in his race for the U. S. Senate over in South Carolina the people of the South may again face the world without blushing for shame whenever tho names of Comer and Blouse are mentioned. Some of the newspapers of the State, already “lied up" with one or another of the several candidates for the Gov ernorship, are "viewing with alarm” the possibility that the Frank case may become an issue in the campaign—or, interpreted differently, that Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey may be persuaded later on to enter the lists for the office named. If this be the interpretation meant, then the fears of our troubled contem poraries appear to be well founded. The Georgia wing of the Bull Moose party has been trying to steal our can didate for Governor, Hon. Hugh Dor sey; but he turned a deaf ear to the blandishments held o it to him. In the first place, he is a young man of un common fine sense, and would not per mit himself placed in such a ridiculous situation. In the next place, he is, above all, a Democrat—and that set tles it. There has been no change in the Mexican situation. President Wilson has resumed his "waiting and watch ing" policy, while Huerta still holds the fort in the Mexican capital, ap parently unawed by the presence of United States troops on his native heath, or hy the steadily advancing hosts of Villa and Carranza against his citadel. Funny sort rff war. No, my son, there will not be an other meeting of the State Democratic Executive Committee to change the rules for the State primary. The coun ty unit plun will stand t To The Herald nnd Advertiser belongs the honor of being the first newspaper in the State to suggest Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey for the Governorship—nnd we are proud of it. The United States supports 221,433 churches. Likewise, 450,000 saloons — more than all the churches, hospitals, colleges and high schools combined. Dorsey Boom Takes Big Spurt. AtlnntJi Constitution. Following tho publication in an after noon pnper that Hugh M. Dorsey, Solicitor-General of the Superior Court, would be a candidate for Governor, and the statement from Mr. Dorsey that he hail not had time to consider any mat ter not directly connected with his official duties, the Dorsey boom, which seems to have developed spontaneously all over the State, has taken on fresh impetus. Not since the famous Joe Brown groundswell of some six years ago has the name of a person, hitherto little known in State politics, been on so many lips. Many of Mr. Dorsey's ad mirers are divided on the subject of what otlice he should run for, but all of them are a unit in saying that, no mat ter what office it may be, they will sup port him. Mr. Dorsey's mail was very heavy Friday nnd it was impossible for him to go through one-tenth of it. It in cluded letters from all parts of the State. On Thursday he received eight telegrams from prominent citizens of Commerce, all urging him to make the race. Early Friday morning he was ailed up by long distance telephone had had time to get to work before he had had time to get to the grand jury, the Albany Herald says ll,ul assured of the support of the citi "while the grand jury took its text from the report of the County Superin tendent of Schools, it is plain that its criticism was directed at the public schools of this city," and adds "Complaints similar to those brietly made in general terms by the grand been heard for two or zens of Cherokee county. Around the Kimball House lobby, where politicians foregather, there was ] little talk of any candidate other than 1 Dorsey. Friendly bets of hats and suits of clothes have already been made that he will run for Governor and be elected. In tit.' meantime, Mr. Dorsey is not him in jury have been heard for two or three j letting his sudden boom disturb years past, and there are many patrons tlu- least.

Now that the grand jury has 'broken the ice’ for them, so to speak, we may hope that the mem bers of the board who realize that some thing needs to be done to increase the efficiency of our city schools will have the nerve to face the situation ami deal with conditions as duty demands." Senoia Enterprise-Gazette: "Out. present worthy Representatives in the General Assembly, Hon. C. F. Holl- berg ami Col. Garland M. Jones, each announce b this issue for re-election, subject to i he Democratic primary to be held in August. These gentlemen are serving our people most satisfacto rily in .hit capacity, and it is not likely who has such a capacity for detail as Hugh Dorsey. 1 never knew a harder worker or one who has hold up better under a strain which would have killed stronger men. During the past four months he has done more legal work than Hny lawyer ever did in the same length of time.” Another man who has traveled pretty well all over the Stale said: "l don't care where you go you will hear the name of Hugh Dorsey men tioned, ami coupled with it. will be the statement that the speaker is for him, no matter what he wants to run tor." Since Mr. Dorsey's name has been mentioned so prominently there lias been little taik of prospective candi dates who for a time seemed "almost persuaded." HABITUAL CONSTIPATION and all liver troubles can be cured by using GRIGSBY'S LIV-YER-LAX. Ask John K. Cates Drug Co. Tom Watson and Chairman Harris Exchange Civilities. Washington Cor. Atlanta Constitution. Washington, D. C., May 8. —Director of the Census William J. Harris, candi date for Governor of Georgia, has sent a red-hot letter to Thomas E. Watson, of Thomson, Ga., replying to on<- re ceived from WatHon, acknowledging receipt of Mr. Harris' circular letter, sent to several thousand Georgians in making soundings for his contemplated candidacy. Chairman Harris sent to Georgia as many as fifteen thousand letters, covering every county in the State, and among them it seems that one was inadvertently sent to Hon. Thomas E. Watson, who reolied to Mr. Harris as folluws: WATSON’S LETTER. "Mr. William J. Harris—Dear Sir: Your letter to me received. While somewhat, surprised, I did not faint. Yes, run by all means. Hold the office your boss gave you, nnd go after an other, just as he did. We want to show you how much we love you for the man ner in which you tricked Old Man I’ee- pul at the Macon convention. We are going to give you h — II, and we are go ing to give your flatulent boss the same thing. Your cowardly boss is a two- faced humbug, and so are you. "Very dearly yours, "Then. E. Watson. "Thomson, Ga., April 27, 1914.” MR. HARRIS’ REPLY. To this letter Chairman Harris makes quite a lengthy reply, the chief fea tures of which are as follows: "I would not ask your support even if I knew by so doing I could become the Governor of my State. I would not so olTend the more than 93,000 loyal Dem ocrats of Georgia who supported our great President. Of all the false and malicious statements ever made against Woodrow Wilson, you are responsible for the worst. Without the slightest foundation or scintilla of truth, you published in your paper a statement that Gov. Wilson had sent a telegram of sympathy to Booker Washington when he was arrested in New York for trying to enter the apartment, of a white woman. Your statement was made in such a plausible way that thousands of Georgians believed it. It wus telegraphed to papers all over the United States, especially in the South, and some of our best papers published it. "If there is a single public man who hns served the people of Georgia un selfishly and with distinction in the past few years whom you have not de nounced, I am not aware of it. "I do not believe there is a prominent Democrat in the Tenth Congressional district of Georgia whom you have not maligned through the columns of your paper or on the stump. "After 1 was elected chairman of the State Democratic Executive Commit tee I was urged to appoint your son a member of the committee from the State-at-large—‘just to keep Tom Wat son in a good humor with the Demo cratic parly.’ I refused to appoint him for any such reason, and staled I would resign the chairmanship before I would do so. "By your false and malicious state ments, you had attempted to do Gov. Woodrow Wilson such an injury I knew you would not support him, and to ap point any man, however good, just to please you, would have been an affront to every loyal Democrat in Georgia. "You refer in your letter to my rul ing as chairman of the State Conven tion, which nominated Hon. J. D. Price for Commissioner of Agriculture. I do not read your paper, but am informed tnat you have at numerous times made such statements. There was not a fair- minded man present at the convention who will say 1 ruled unjustly. Except for my ruling which forced the dele gates on the first ballot to vote the in structions of their counties, Mr, Price would have been nominated on the first ballot. As chairman 1 ruled justly to all, but I did use my influence to defeat Mr. J. J. Brown, the candidate sup ported hy you and the fertilizer trust. "While a member of the Legislature a measure of mine was enacted into law which required all hags of fertilizers to show, not only the analysis, but the number of pounds of other material worthless as fertilizer, and made it an offense to use cinders, sand, or other deleterious mutter in the manufacture of fertilizers. When this matter was before the Senate I he agents of the fer tilizer trust filled the lobby to defeat it, and many of the same men were at the Macon convention—some as delegates to urge the nomination of Mr. J. J. Brown for Commissioner of Agriculture. When the convention tied between Mr. Brown and Mr. Price, so many agents of the fertilizer trust went on the lloor to talk to the delegates and try to influ ence them to vote for Mr. Brown, it was difficult for me to restore order. If tho agents of the fertilizer trust, who were at the convention supporting Mr. Brown, had helped nominate Mr. Price, your paper would have given columns each week to denouncing them and saying tho farmers had been sold out to the fertilizer trust, which had named the Commissioner of Agricul ture to do their bidding. "1 do no', favor any law which would destroy the fertiliser industry of our State, which has so many millions in vested in the enterprise. The use of fertilizers by our farmers is wise, and every farmer, laborer, merchant and professional man is deeply inti rested in having a Commissioner of Agriculture who will protect the farmer tr..m worth less fertilizers.
