The Panama canal is destined to
be the monumental “steal” of the
century. Sixty or seventy mil
lions of dollars have already been
expended on this project and the
government lias absolutely noth
ing to show tor the expenditure
except a horde of officials and em
ployes who are drawing salaries in
Panama much larger than they
co uld have ever earned at home.
The South wants the canal com
pleted, but not at the expense of
maintaining a gigantic graft for
fifteen or twenty years. At the
present ratio of expenditures and
progress the canal project will
bankrupt the government.

I The Albany Herald advises
John Temple Graves to cut loose
from the Atlanta News and start
|another paper. If Graves does
j that, the gentlemen who control
The News will awake some line

lion. E. T. Steed has announced
his candidacy for the oHleeof State
Senator in the .‘{7th District, com
posed of the counties of Carroll,
Heard and Troup. He is a mem
ber of the House of Representa
tives, having represented Carroll
in the Legislature during the past
four years.
There are .'17 counties in Georgia
jin which more negroes than white
1 men have paid poll tax. The
I News fails to see how the poll tax
requirement or the white primary
can maintain white supremacy in
j these .'{7 counties. Probably some
of the opponents of disfranchise*
j meat can inform us how it is to be
done.
The public lias been aware for
several months that the dear
Herald and Advertiser was losing
sleep,appetite and llesh on account
of Coweta county’s evident de
termination to vote for Hoke Smith
for governor; and it is obvious that
the 11. and A. is still atllicted with
a pain caused by this county’s at
titude in the gubernatorial race.
Congressman DcArmond of
Missouri believes that either Wil
liam J. Kryan or Governor Folk
w ill lie the next Democratic nomi
nee for President. The rank and
tile of the party will 1h> satisfied
with any real Democrat who is big
enough to be President. What we
desire to escape is another calamity
of the proportions of Wall Street’s
dummy, Alton B. Parker.
Griffin is to have city delivery
of mail, beginning May 1st. The
receipts of the Griffin postoffiee
for the last fiscal year amounted to
only .*17 more than the receipts of
the Newnan postoffiee. This
shows conclusively that Newnan
lias excellent claims on which to
base a request for city delivery of
mail. Furthermore, the receipts
of the Newnan postoffiee for the
present fiscal year will amount to
91 2,000 or more; an increase of at
least 92,000 over the receipts of
last year. The receipts for the
month of January, 1900, amounted
to 91,200.
'The basis of the city delivery
system is annual receipts amount
ing to 910,000. No office showing
smaller receipts than this amount
w ill be given city delivery; but any
office making this showing has a
claim upon the postoffiee depart
ment for city delivery.
Newnan can secure city delivery
of mail. There is no uncertainty
about this fact. The only thing
necessary to be done is to press
Newnun’s claim in the postoffiee
department. Mrs. Atkinson, in
her official capacity, lias already
placed the facts in reference to
Newnun’s need of and claims for
city delivery before the proper of
ficials. If the people of the city
co-operate with her this matter eau
be brought to successful issue at
an early date. As to the liest
means of accomplishing the de
sired result, let all interested citi
zens consult Mrs. Atkinson and
act in concert.
Newnun’s need of city delivery
is obvious. The business of our
postoffiee is already overcrowding
tlu* postoffiee building; and it is in
creasing so rapidly that immediate
steps must U* taken to relieve the
situation. This can be accom
plished in a large measure by city
delivery. Newnun’s claims to this
recognition by the postoffiee de
partment are unassailable. The
only thing necessary is to press
these claims upon the department.

With its usual remarkable dex
terity in making startling discov
eries in politics, the esteemed Her

Hoke Smith would not have car
ried Coweta County if Dr. Nuuual-

governor. Will the esteemed Her- i

carried the county for Howell, but
