CAN'T AGREE.
Thera are aome qneattoni, social and
poUtioal, upon whtoh the North and the
Sooth will never agree, and the social
statue of the negro le one of them.
Onr friends at the North teem to
think that the eooial barrier which
stands like a atone wall between the
white* and blaoks In the Sonth is
founded upon prejudice and that that
prejndloe le largely pollttoal. Bat they
are miatitken. It is not' prejndloe that
causes the white people of the 8onth to
refuse to reoetve tho negroes upon terms
of social equality. It is more a matter
of instinct than of prejadioe. The in
stinct is ineradicable and may be allied
somewhat with pride of race. Bot
there Is no prejudice abont it. The
truth Is, thejpeople of the South—oer-
talnly the beet people of the South-
have no prejudice against the negro.
They are, npon the contrary, tho best
friends and the only real friends he has
In this conntry.
It Is to be Inferred from tho comments
of some of tho newspapers and public
men at the Nortlf that they are pleased
with the ex'ample set by President
Roosevelt in inviting Booker
Washington to dine at his family
table In the White House, and
It seems altogether probable that
this White Hoaselncldent is lo be made
a precedent of and a sort of entering
wedgn for the mingling of the nogroos
and the whites on terms of social equal
Ity at the North. Bat this will not af ■
foot tho Sonth nor will It ohange the
soofal status of the nogro in any of the
Sontherh states. Here tho Boalal bar-
rlor sot op by God Xlmighty botween
tho two races will bo maintained, and
nny offort to break over It will lead to
tronble.
Thero aro somo things abont the
Sonth whtoh the people of the North
oannot, or will not, understand, and
among these may be inolnded tho
negro and everything oonoerning the
negro or appertaining to bla status as a
citizen. The tronble with them Is that
they don’t know the negro ns we know
him, and they soem to be utterly in
capable of comprehending the foot that
the two races oan live togatherand work
togother and yet maintain a well de
fined line that separates thorn Booially
as far as the east Is from the west. The
negro understands It and is satisfied
with it, but if jthe people of the North
aro gotug to follow the example that
has been set by President Roosevelt and
rooetvo the negro Into their homes upon
terms of social equality they will soon
have the satisfaction of witnessing a
revolution In this country whioh will
moan the extermination of a rnoe that
deeerves a better fate. The whites and
blacks of tho Sooth understand eaoh
other and are at peaoe. Why will not
tho people of the North lot them alone?
In its annual report the Railroad Com
mission of Georgia reoommends that the
commission should be given the author
ity to require railroads to conetruot and
maintain side tracks wherever the pub

their construction ; that the law be so
amended asjto authorize the bringing of
suit to reoover penalties for the violation
of the rales and orders of the commis
sion in the oounty wherein suoh viola
tion may bo committed, and also that a
change be made lu the law regarding
the Authority of the commission to en
force its orders. Aotlon by mandamns
is desired by the commission. The com
mission sbIcs that sleeping oar and tele-
phone oompanles be placed under the
jurisdiotion-of the commission.
Analysis published In this week’s
issue of tho Manufacturers’ Record of
the figures of tho white and of the negro
pipulationsjin the census of 1000 show
that the movement tending toward the
diffusion of the negro population more
generally throughout the country has
been accelerated dating the pnst ten
years, certain JNorthern oities having
receivod large-accessions of that class of
the population, and that the white pop
ulation of the |Sonth has mode an in
crease at a slightly greater rate than the
white population in’ tho, rest of the
oonntry.
Governor Candler’s message to the
legislature whioh convened on Wednes
day is one of the most comprehensive
documents of tho kind ever promul
gated in Goorgia, and onr lawmakers
will find it worthy of their serious con
sideration. It deals with facts fuyd con
ditions aud is not only business-like, bnt
patriotio throughout.
AN EXPEBIMENT STATION NOB
SOUTH GEORGIA.
Mr. Symone, of Glynn connty, has In
troduced a bill In the legislature to
establish an agricultural experiment
station in Sonth Georgia, and it is to be
hoped that the measure will pass.
Georgia is a great state, and more in
telligent attention is being givefi to agri
cultural pursuits now than ever before.
It requires no argument to oonvince the
Intelligent farmer that great benefit is
to be derived troQ suoh soientlflo experi
ments as are usually mode by the ex
periment station now in successful oper
ation near Griffin. But there is a great
difference botween the soil and climate
at the hilly region in whioh thin experi
ment station is situated and South
Georgia. The experiments made there
aro of but little value to the farmers of
3outh Georgia for the reason that, tho
orops best adapted to the soil and oli-
mate of that region are not always
adapted to the soil aod climate of South
ern Georgia, and vice versa.
An experiment station la South Geor
gia could bo made very helpful to the
agricultural interest of this part of the
state jost now, and it is slnoerely to be
hoped that the legislature will devise
ways and means for establishing and
maintaining sach an institution, It
should in no wise Interfere with the ex
periment station near GrKHn. That is
needed where it is, but wo should also
have one here in Sonth Georgia. There
is room for both and ono is just ns much
n necessity ns the other.
Thore is a singular unanimity of opin
ion among the members of the Porto
Rican delegation appointed by Governor
Hant to make a tour of the commercial
centers of the United Statos with re
gard to thn business outlook in onr
West Indian possession. The establish
ment of free trade between the island
and the united States has proved an nn-
mixed blessing, and has been qnito as
beneficial to American producers os to
tho Porto Ricans. It is pointed out by
the Philadelphia Record that while
hand-mado laces, fine linen and other
fanoy dry goods arc still Imported
into Porto Rico (as they are into the
States) from tho Old World, American
wash fabrics and articles of utility are
in a fair way of gaining the insular
market to the .exclusion of similar pro
ducts from all other countries. The
virtue of free trade as a stimulant to
busiaes8 has been onoe more proven be
yond possibility of oontradiotjion.
Rather than appoint a man who war
a gambler to be solleitor of the comity
coart of Johnson county, Governor
Candler appointed a Populist to tho of
floe. The Senate, however, vosterday
refosod to confirm tho appointment of
the Popniist. It eeems that there were
but two applicants for the pluoe and the
Governor chose thePopolist, whom,it
appears, was a good citizen and entirely
unobjectionable, aside from his being a
Populist. Tho Democrat who was ap
plying had been convicted of gambling.
The law-abiding people of the state, re
gardless of politics, will approve the
eholoe made by the Governor. A gam
bier is not a lit person to be the solicitor
or judge of a court, and tho Senate has
done itself nud tho state no credit by its
action in this case.
ANOTHER CANDIDATE.
Hon. James M. Smith, the big farmer
of Oglethorpe ooanty, is, it appears,
abont to enter the gubernatorial race.
He was in Atlanta last week.and the
newspapers had something to say about
his probable candidacy and even went
so far as to name several very prominent
and influential men in the state who
would support him. And now comes
this speoiai from Ool. Smith’s heme.
It appeared in Sunday’s Constitution:
Jefferson, Ga., Oct. 20.—(Special)—
Oloso, warm personal friends of Hon.
James M. Smith, one of Georgia's most
extensive planters, who ib- jnst home
from Atlanta, assert, without any quali
fication whntover, that Mr. Smith will,
beyond all donbt, be in the race for gov
ernor next year. From the same source
comes the declaration tlmt Mr. Smith
has had two or three conferences with
his strongest supporters in varinns sec
tions of the state. It was daring these
talks, it is asserted, Mr. Smith obta-z-d
an inkling of his strength thronghnat
the state, and upon that Information he
announced to those ubont him that he
would entertho race. Mr. Smith, how
ever, lias not determined when lie will
make a formal luinonncetnent, nolthor
did lie declare upon what plan he would
make his platform.
Wonder if this oan bo the card the
Angnsta Chronicle has beon carrying np
its sleeve and threatening for several
weeks pnst to spring on an nnsnspeoting
pubiio?
FARM EXHIBITS AT THE FAIR.
Th > HnUAl.li is informed that Mr. G.
M. Bacon, of Mitchell county, who bore
off tho prixe for tho best exhibit of farm
products by tho producer at the South
west Georgia Hay Day Carnival and
Street Fair last year, will not con
test for ihat prize again this year, but
will make a few special entries. That
$100 ptemlnm for the best display or the
products of one farm is worth trying for,
and there will doubtless be a number of
entries when it becomes known that
Mr Bacon, who mode Bnch a splendid
exhibit last year, will not have to be
beaten by the winner this year.
NOT A HOPEFUL SIGN.
The discovery among the captured
papers of Lucban, the insurgent chief of
Snmar, of treasonable correspondence
implicating the most trusted and out*
wardly the most friendly among the na
tives, must be rather disappointing to
those who have been taking an optimistic
view of tho situation in the Philippines.
It is now discovered that the very men
who have been put at the head of the
municipal and other departments
of tho civil administration have
merely worn smiling countenances
as mnsks to conceal their hatred for
their new foreign masters, just as they
used to do under the Spanish regime.
General ClialTeo’s estimate that a quar
ter of a century inn-t elnpse before the
army of occupation in the Philippines
can be mucli reduced is probably below
the mark. More likely the islands will
j require a large garrison in perpetuity.

Mayor Johnson, of Cleveland, has
been telling the Case Sohool of Applied
3oience there that college endowments
from rich capitalists are closing the
months of instructors in the teaching of
co\d economic truth. He gave au in
stance or two supposed to prove the
point, but did not mention a case said
to have come under his personal ob
servation. Mayor Johnson, so the story
goes, was askfd by the president of one
of the colleges to give $100,000 to endow
the chair of economics. He protested
that the colleges were not teaching the
truth about the subject, whereupon he
was told that he could have anything
taught from that chair he wanted pro
vided only that the $100,000 was forth
coming.
Atlanta’s fair and horse show are

The Memphis Scimitar says that

About twelve years ago the agricul
tural department sent a missionary
abroad to teach Europeans the merits of
corn bread as a nutritious and whole
some food. It was then unknown as
human food in Europe. Since then the
value of corn bread has been taught the
French, Germaus, Belgians aud Eugllsh
and it is gradually coming into use.
The result is an increase in our corn ex
ports, which was the objeot of tho agri
cultural department.
Nearly all newspaper readers are
familiar with the story that President
Roosevelt’s mother was a Southern
woman, and hung a Confederate flag
from her window in New York one day
during the Civil War, aud wcnld not
take it down even when threatened by
a mob. Grit seems to be a family trait,
bat the Cincinnati Enquirer suggests
that the President’s mother would prob
ably not have shared his enthusiasm
about the entertainment of a colored
man.
The regular advertisements now run

The Clgnrcfto Bill.
From the Savannah Press.
The passage through the house of the
anti-cigarette bill was doubtless well
intended. It is the sincere desire of
somo i. ne to do good to somebody and
to accomplish by lerMation a reform
which is much needed. It is very
doubtful, however, whether such a bill
can be of much me' to the people at-
large Cigarettes are huisauoes un
questionably aud the men wbo smoke
them nre nor, wise, but how can the
thing he reached by law? Ir prohibits
the nmnufi*cmrc, Bale, or giviug awav
of cigarettes within tho state. Of
conr?ft if- does not interfere with the
inter-state commerce law, but only reg
ulates the matter in Georgia. All this
is wrong, for people will Send outside of
the f.rnte and get them ; tho man who
smokes a cigarette ih bound to have
them sooner or larer. The law may
succeed in crippling tne business in
Georgia, but ic will nor-’interfere with
the consumption of cigarettes among
the people.
If there were nn organized movement
among employers not to give men work
who smoke tiuarertes; if boys who
smell of this pernicious practice could
be barred front public places; if women
would boycott their bei-t fellows who
might bo ret-king with nicotine and
dyed in umber to their finger tips*, it
would be all right, but there is no
chance for a law. This is piohibition
in a uew form After awhile we shall
have laws passed to si op the solo of Par
egoric and oocnine. It is on the order
of the recent attempt to make football a
crime in Georgia.
