MB. TURNER'S “STATEMENT.”
The "statement" Riven ont to the
preea by Hon. H. G. Turner on Satnr-
day has been Interpreted by some of the
newspapers as a straight-out announce
ment of the distinguished South Geor
gia statesman's oandidaoy for governor.
The Herald doee not so Interpret It. It
looks that way, it is true, bat a careful
analysis wiU show that Mr. Tamer
merely wanted to pnt his friends on
notioe that he had the snbjeot under
serious consideration and that, at the
proper time, he would not "lightly, or
without good cause, decline thoir confi
dence.” It is a carefully worded
papor; yet, to those who know Mr.
Turner well, It is not evasive. The only
fanll that we have to find with Mr.
Turner in this connection is that he did
not make some snoh statement to his
friends, when they tried to get an ex
pression from him—aomo of them cau-
didly telling him that they had
good reason for wanting to know
what he would probably do, and
what he would like to have them do-
several weeks ago, when the retirement
of Mr. dnBIgnon from the race pre
cipitated an early or premature agita
tion of the polltloal wntors throughout
South Georgia. We do not know just
what passed between Mr. Turuor and
Mr. Estill when tho latter, who was
himself being urged by friends to be-
oomo a candidate, journeyed to Quit-
man for the purpose of having an under
standing with Mr. Tnruor, bnt we ven
ture to say that with two snoh gentle
men in the race as South Georgia candi
dates some of the most potent factor-
in the polltios of tho Wiregrass would
bo embarrassed and the scotlon handi
capped.
A Kansas wheat farmer who owub
some 25,000 acres of laud, rents it ont
to tonunt farmers on tho basis of hulf
tho yield, lie famishing the Heed and
taking thu ohancos of a crop. It is es
timated Mint If all tho wheat due him
on rcntnls til's year was shlppod in one
consignment It would require seven
teen freight trains of llfteon oars eaoh
to take It to market. Ills rentals lu
wheat lust year nutted him $45,1X10. In
addition to owning about $850,000 worth
ot land, evory toot of It paid for, he has
nearly $250,000 worth of bank stock and
$800,000 invested iu farm lands in Okla
homa. This enterprising farmer, Mt-.
Stewart, nbont twenty-five years ago
begun life iu all obscure office iu Ohica
go and developed great ability us a
financier. He is not fond of traveling,
oxoept to go to a Dumoorutlo conven
tion—a diversion he is passionately fond
of. He is a pronounced temperance
man, and, it Is said, believes in the pro
hibition laws of Kansas.
NOT TRUE.
The Philadelphia Evening Telegram
is pleased to eay:
■Time woe when the Southern white
man regarded uannal or mechanical la
borof any eort as being derogatory to
his position in the soolal scale. Bat
that notion seems to have paseed, giving
place to a tree appreciation of the dig
nity of labor. This fact is strikingly
Illustrated by the reoent rash for the
scholarships In the Georgia Sohool of
Technology. There were but ate open
for competition, and the applicants were
660 In number. The Southern papers
ate commenting in sensible vein upon
the significance of thia ohange in the
aentiments of their people."
The Raleigh (N. O.) Post, comment
ing on the above, truly says that the
first sentence of It la not true, and con
tinues : "There never was a ‘time’ In
the Sooth when a man who reepeoted
himself and deported himself properly,
whatever his vocation, wae not respeot-
ed. Self-respect, proper eondnot and
intelligence always determined indi
vidual association. It Is us maoh the
oase now as before, and no less before
than now. The zeal now manifested by
thu rising generation for teohnloal edu
cation and training, as Illustrated in the
Georgia case and the growth of our own
Agricultural and Moohanical College
here iu Raleigh is simply the Intelligent
appreciation-of onr youth of the obanges
which time has wrought lu the indus
trial life of the people and a purpose to
prepare to make the most of the new
opportunity.”
Throughout other states as well as
Georgia, some very complimentary ref
erences are being made to the oaual-
dacy of Ool. J. H. Estill for governor.
Not only in the editorial columns of the
greatest, and best newspapers of the
country do we find these flattering ex
pressions, bnt in the magazines as well,
while many men prominent in the
political, professional and business world
have seen fit to join in the chorus of
kindly words called forth by the Savan
nah editor’s oandidaoy. Tho reaped
which Col. Estill commands in all quar
ters 1b a tribute to Ills long record ns a
newspaper man. His hand has been on
the tiller of the Savannah Morning News
for a nnuibor of years, and the success
of that paper, its standing in the field of
Southern journalism and itsinliueuoe in
all pnblio matters are evidences of its
strong eharaoter and business ability.
A man who can make of u newspaper a
SU0OUB8 snoh as Ool. Estill 1ms wade of
the Savannah News oommaudB tho re
speot of all sorts, olassos and conditions
of people, for snuessful newspapers and
newspaper men are not so plentiful as
to ho oommouplaoc. There Is no poll
tics lu this comment. It is called forth
by what the Hrralu sees in tho pnblio
journals, hears with its own ears and
feels on its own aooonnt.
VINDICATED AFTER FIVE YEARS.
The Athens Banner publishes the fol
lowing.
“It Is always with sorrow we hear of ’
a good man going wrou„ iu handling ;
public funds. The sorrow is all the j
keener when we believe that some mis-1
take has been made and his honesty as
sailed without proper grounds.
The oharge was made several years
since that Hon. John W. Johnson, tax
oolleotor of Oconee county, was short in
his accounts, and on the face of his
books it appeared that the charge was
correot. Yet we never behoved lie lmd
defrauded his people of one penny, for
we oonld not bring ourselves to regard
him as that kind of a man.
The work of vindicating his good
name has been slow bnt sure, and it is
with great pleasnre that we publish else
where in this issue the finding of tho
grand jary of Oconee county, wherein
he is not only completely exonerated,
but it shown that not only he had not
defrauded'the people of one oont, but
the oonnty of Ooonee actually owes him
over two thousand dollars.
The lesnlt of the investigations made
in this oase is a thorough vindication of
Mr. Johnson, and his many frio-.dB re
ceive the report of the grand jury with
great joy."
The Galveston News says: "Now
that the steel companies have
positively annonm-cd that they will
have no farther conference with the
strikers, the chances are that Sonator
Hanna will tender Ills good olllccs to es
tablish peace between the corporations
and the workers. By doing this he can
ingratiate himself with the workers and
still not estrange the corporations ho fur
that he oan not jolly a small campaign
fund ont of them when the time for it
arrives."
Jack Winters, who was arrested as a
snspeot in connection with the 3elby
Smelting works robbery, has confessed
and so far $180,(XX) worth of bullion has
been recovered from tho bay where ho
had snok it. According to the story
Mint comes from San Francisco, Wintors
was bribed into malting a confession by
the superintendent of the smelting
works with an offer of $25,000 in money
aud the assurance that he would not be
proseonted.
Come to think of it from u purely
practical and selfish viewpoint, South
Georgia needn't be tearing her hair to
get more of her men into state offices.
Every time one gets in Sooth Georgia
loses a good citizens; for they never
oome baok to their own. We don’t know
how it wonld be with a governor, for
South Georgia has not had one since—

which has been in session lu Milledge-
villa this week, adjourned yesterday af
ternoon to meet in Maoon next year.
OoL Dupont Guerry has already veri
fied the prediction made by the Hirald
when his oandidaoy was first announoed,
that he will make the gubernatorial race
ono ol state issues.
The steel trust has been able to start
op several of its mills with non-union
labor, but It will still be crippled so a*
to be practically helpless until the strike
is settled, either one way or another.
The Augusta Chronicle truly says:
"South Georgia must get together, eu-
dorse a single candidate, and present
him to the state with her solid booking
if she hopes to exercise any territorial
influence."
It is reported from London that a
special dispatch from Rotterdam says
the mental condition of Mr. Kroger is
arousing serious apprehension. Accord
ing to tho same authority, a specialist
in nervous diseases has been summoned
by telegraph from Berlin.
The Philadelphia Reoord says:
"Drought in soma sootions and too mueli
moisture in others lowered the average
condition of the ootton crop 8.1) per oent.
during Jnly, bat left It 1 2 per oent,
better than It was on Augnst 1 Iasi year.
8o muoh depends upon favorable
weather conditions hereafter that no re
liable forecast of the season’s cotton
produotion oan be made from the orop
data now available. Although the pres
ent promise of the orop is the lowest
ever reported, with the exception of
that of last year, It 1s well to remember
that the area under cultivation this sea
son is about 2,000,000 acres larger than
that of 1900, from whioh, in spite of the
low Aug ait condition of the orop, a
yield ot approximately 10,260,000 bale*
was produoed. Rains hare fallen over
a large area of the droughty section
slnoe the government reports were com
plied, and with immunity from early
frosts a orop equal to the best of previ
ous yean should still b possible."
President Oha*. M. Schwab evidently
does not stand in very gnat awe of J.
Plerpoot Morgan. Whan the money
king direoted the president of the trust
to negotiate with the strikers for a set
tlement ot the present strike, Schwab
flatly refused to do anything of the kind.
He told Morgan in plain English that
the light against the strikers was not
under the latter’s direction, and that his
wishes in the matter were not entitled
to serious consideration. He hinted that
Andrew Carnegie was the man whose
power was highest in the steel trust,
and that Mr. Carnegie's dtrire was far
th* present battle to bo fought to a
finish.

Interest by horse lovers everywhere.
These horses are the leaders of the
world iu their olata, and embody the
perfection of the breeders' and trainers'
arts. And they will be evenly matched,
so that the slightest break on the part of

lation on the part of either driver may
mean the loss of the heat. At is known,
Oretoeut holds the trotting reoord of
9 Miii, while The Abbot’s time is jnst
one second more. It is not likely that
the record will be still further lowered
at Brighton Beaoh, bnt it is quite cer

interesting trotting raoet of reoent yean

“Historian” Maclay.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
What does “Historian” Maclay do,
anyhow ? He is a laborer in the employ
of the United States government at
$2.50 a day. Does he labor? Or does he
do anything but draw hi* pay? On
whose recommendation is ne in the sine-
oure service of the United States? If
his “Influence” has any metsnro of self-
respect he should withdraw his indorse
ment. The most probable theory is that
Maclay is kept in the service nominally
so that the Bureau of Slander in the
Navy Department will not have to pay
him out of the private purses of the
members thereof.

WHY RAILROADS PROSPER.
The gross earnings per mile of the
railroads of the country in the last few
years have largely increased, and to this
fact is due the greater stability of rail
road securities as compared with the
former period. On the surface it ap
pears that the foot explains itself, but
the reason of it lies deeper, and the true
explanation, no doubt, is that given by
the Railway World. This anthority
says that the increase in gross earnings
must be credited to the cessation of rate
cutting. The nominal rates of former
years ure now actually paid. The cost
of all railroad material Is higher than
formerly, but it is offset by the shutting
down ou rebutes. The average rates
per ton-mile are not higher, but they
are collected, not dissipated by irrespon
sible agents in a reckless competition
for business.
There has been an increase, also, of
the amount of business, but there is evi
dence, Bays the World, "that the hard
ening of railway rates—that is, the
more general observance of sohednles—
bos been the most effective agenoy. This
is particularly true where unjust dis
criminations of favbr of through tratflo
and the large shippers havo heretofore
been most common."
Commenting on this, the Memphis
Scimitar well says: “lherailroad mag
nates have found out by oostly experi
ence that trying. to break one another
down is a business that everybody can
play ut and none can win at. Hence
the tendenoy to oo-oporatiou or combi
nation for the maintenance of rates.”
