It comes to The Herald pretty straight that Governor Hoke Smith told a prominent cltlaen of Worth Jjounty at the Worth Coun ty Fair-oh last Tueaday that he wanted to go to the United Btatca senate, but that he had made up his mind' to serve out the UBual second term as governor and would not, therefore, be a candi date for the senate.—Albany Herald. This la no longer a whispered se cret, Colonel McIntosh. It Is a fact that you can talk out In meeting. The governor can not desert the Ship of Reform until It reaches port. "Charleston and Atlanta," says Tho Atlanta Goorgtan, “fly the pennant* of the two Southern leagues. Which would indicate that a slow town can play ball oven as a fast town.” Cut At lanta Is really not such a "slow town!”—Nows and Courier. Gallant old Courier! Such a happy escapo from a aelf-evldent conclusion. It reminds us of General Toombs' story of the fellow who was caught, because he waa too drunk to run, too honest not to tell hla name. The Atlanta Georgian says: "In our opinion the Populists have fought their battle and prac tically won It. Not by direct vic tory, but by the peaceful line of educating the Democracy to their views." We would deny this If we could.—Nashville American. The confession does credit to the honesty of The American. The Macon Telegraph quotes the same paragraph , from The Georgian, aud says, “We lure compelled to acknowledge that 'there Is more truth In this than we like." Our contemporaries will of course not agree with us, but we are sure that the fact which they both concede Is one of the most wholesome In the modern "history of Democracy. It has been hours, perhaps days, since John Temple Graves has nominated any one for the presidency.—Memphis Scimitar. Hearst Is the latest flame of John Temple Graves, shy co quette. Changes In hts affections will be bulletined aa rapidly at the telegraphers" strike will per- N mlt.—Little Rock Gasstte. The editor Of The Georgian has not nominated any outsider for the presidency. He. suggested a nomina tion to Mr. Bryan once, and since that suggi .-lion was not adopted he has dlscu.-r-ed the eligibility of other men. Tho only candidate he haa eYer nomi nated Is the present governor of Geor gia. He has spoken of Culberson at eligible and of Aycock and Glenn, of North Carolina, and of Bryan always, and has expressed the opinion that Chanler was the hiost eligible Demo crat montloned from the East, always provided that Hearst did not run. But nominate—never one of them. The Gazette and The Scimitar have fallen Into the loose habit of the para- grapher, nod written merely for the[ print and without regard to the fact. THE PRESIDENT’S SUSTAINED COMMON SENSE. There Is nothing especially notable In the president's speech at Keokuk. Unless It be that the speech at Keokuk Is Just a* vigorous, just as loyal, and Just as full of common sense as the speech at Jamestown or the speech at Provlncetown, or any other speech that the president has made during this period of unsettled conditions. The president declares In an apt paraphrase of John C. Calhoun's famous statement that, "‘Eternal common sense Is the basis of liberty," and the chief executive Is undoubtedly bringing to bear the moat reso lute common sense upon this great question of difference between the corporations and the people. Mr. Roosevelt has never varied onQ hair’s breadth from tho even line of his expressed determination to be equally as Just to the rail roads as he was to the people, and with equal heartiness he has de clared and reiterated his fixed determination to stand resolutely by the people until this great question ot just laws and of considerate treat ment by the corporations Is established In the legislation of the country. The president Is one man who always wins something by hlB pub lic speeches. He has never spoken yet that he did not attract attention by the definiteness, vigor and loyalty of his public utterances. As a speech-making vote-getter he Is doubtless without an equal In the polit ical annals of the country, and his- last utterance at Keokuk does not fall In this respect below the high level of effectiveness and winning force of his record. - We suppose the'man never lived who did not bring down upon him self the criticism of the ultra-fastldloua and the always-hard-to-please. But when a man speaks as sensibly, thinks as wholesomely and acts as resolutely and as fearlessly as the president does In behalf of the peo ple, it Is ndt to be wondered at that each successive appearance deep ens his hold upon the confidence and admiration of the masses. And It may be said without any new enthusiasm that he Is today, outside of ofllce, the foremost force and the most trusted executive that the common people of America have known In all their history. Meanwhile, the weak-kneed and Irresolute among our own people who have been tempted to re-act toward apathy and maudlin sympathy, should take courage from the conservative vigor of tho president’s ut terances. They Bhould learn that this great battle of predatory wealth Is not yet fought and by no means won, and Instead of any cowardly whimper of surrender or withdrawal, they should fall fast and firm be hind the clear-headed and strong-hearted president of the United States, and establish Just and equitable relations with the railroads and corpo rations before a single moment Is given to the Idea of apathy or sur render. Frizzell, at Hampton, Va., and oven Booker Washington, at Tuskegee. DuBols" convention antagonizes the good will of sensible people In the North, and even The Outlook, which has heretofore been classed as a negrophlllst, believes that such a spirit and such a convention should be condemned and repudiated by negroes and white men in the North. This Is the work to which DuBols seems to be lending bis talents and his Influence. On the other hand, there has Just met In Baltimore a convention with a record, a convention made up of negro physicians, dentists, sur geons, who represent over 2,000 negroes In the United States, who have stood the test generally set up tor the dignity and the safety of the vo cations represented there. It Is not strange that such a convention was welcomed to the official life of Democratic Baltimore, and that Jt was regarded and treated with respect and consideration as long as Us ses sions remained. It was a convention of prudent, discreet and patriotic negroes who spent their time In discussing ways and means to promote law and order among their race, to disseminate sanitary intelligence, to promote the national health, to check the ravages of consumption and to bring about such a spirit among their fellows as would win and deserve the respect and co-operation of the white men of the country. Not a line of bitterness nor a sentence of abuse toward the South was spoken in the Baltimore convention. Not a hint of race prejudice was voiced there, and the thoughtful and able publicists of the press, the pulpit, and the bar who heard Its deliberations, agree that this one negro conven tion has done more for the uplift of the negro race and for the good will of the white race toward it than all the conventions which have been held In Northern cities within' the decade. These are the two lines upon which the negro Is progressing, the malignant. The ambitious, the race prejudiced and the discontented negroes following DuBols, and the sensible, level-headed, wise and patri otic negroes following the Baltimore convention to the only possible line of solution which the race problem holds In these United 8tates. A SLANDERER OF ATLANTA. A few weeks ago the little city of Fitzgerald was stirred to Its cen ter by a communication sent out under Its postmark painting a most doleful picture of Fitzgerald's frightful condition of division and bitter ness, hinting of depreciated values and decreasing prosperity. There was not a word ot truth In the communication, bnt It hurt all the same, and the loyal newspapers and cltliens of the generous and prosperous little city bestirred themselves mightily to a refutntion In which their friends of the metropolitan press were gladly willing to Join In removing the reflection so damaging to the welfare of the town. Atlanta, not less than Fitzgerald, suffers many times from reckless prevaricators and sensational correspondents such ns the one who wrote of our bright Georgia neighbor. Here, for Instance, through one of the great press associations, there comes to The Georgian a letter evidently signed fictitiously and dated from . Atlanta which paints of Atlanta just such a picture as was tragically drawn of Fitzgerald. It describes hero In sensational language how our whole city Is In a state of depletion, steady contraction of money for Investment, despair and despondency throughout the ranks of the developers, money stopped In Its Journey Southward, and tho op portunities and Industrial growth of the town practically paralyzed. Tho statement Is altogether and meanly untrue, and we are Indebted to the Hearst News Service, which flatly refused to publish It. There ought to be some way by which communities as well as indi viduals can have legal recourse against liars and slanderers who depre ciate municipal prosperity and do damage to the growth and develop ment of cities. t, If this mean and untruthful statement had not fallen into the hands of the friendly Hearst Service or some other friendly association and had Instead been broadcasted throughout the republic It would have done Atlanta more damage in a day than Its advertising agents, Its friends and Its newspapers could correct In a month. Letters like these In most cases emanate from those who are with out financial responsibility and have nothing to lose In the way of money, but merely vent their Jealousy and revenge because of their dis like ot certain cities. But the law of libel to protect cities should also provide for punishment by Imprisonment and such other retribution as may be visited upon one who deliberately sets out to defame a city or to injure Its prosperity. Atlanta Is enjoying aB level and splendid a stretch of prosperity ns It has ever known. Its real estate wns never held more stiffly In the markets. Thera was never a greater demand for places to rent either of homes or public houses. Its merchants were never laying In larger stores of goods of all kinds and varieties, and Its people never were more confident than they are. today that the stately march of Atlanta toward a magnificent prosperity In numbers and In wealth Is as definite and unobstnicted as it haa ever been In the history ot this phenomenal municipality. We bold In reserve the name of the author ot this damaging letter In order that we may use It when the time Is ripe, and hold It to protect other cities from the defamation ot a malicious pen. Growth and Progress of the New South The Genrginn bore records each day some economic fact In reference to tlio onward progress of the South. BY J08EPH B. LIVELY The Georgia and Alabama Industrial Index says* In Its Issue for this week; ••With the larger jmrt of the eoustructioh material produced In the'two states, towiiH and el ties of Georgia and Alabama nre being upbuilt steadily, substantially onieiit beds, transforming timber Into the most finished bull TWO LINES OP NEGRO SENTIMENT. The Outlook treats with a aplendid sanity two recent antithetical conventions of the negro race, which have recently assembled In Boa* ton and Baltimore. One of these was a convention with a grievance and very naturally found a welcome in Bocton. The spirit of the Boston convention of negroes was one not of growth, of development and of wisdom, but the spirit of complaint. We are sorry to record that Pro* feasor W. E. DuBols. of Atlanta, was the leading personality In this un wholesome organization. Its deliberation wts based upon political and social theories which have been discarded by wise and sensible negroes and which are only provocative of bitterness and misunderstanding. It proceeded upon the Idea that the ballot Is an inherent and inallen* able right rather than an earned responsibility, that equality of treat ment as, for instance, In public conveyances, means Identity of treatment and that a Just compensation for past Injuries would be a granting of privileges In the present. It does not aim to urge negroes to fit them selves tor the requirements ot the suffrage as laid down In the Southern states, but endeavors to force the Southern states, chiefly by appeal to the Federal congress, to abandon tbeir suffrage requirements. It does not use Its efforts to see that accommodations In cars for blacks are as good as those In cars for whites, but demands the total abandonment of race separation. To quote exactly: We demand Federal legislation forbidding the exclusion of any per son from Interstate cars on account of race or color.” Which does not stimulate the negroes to supplement their weak ness by the strength that comes from overcoming obstacles, but Instead declares that the law should lessen the burden of the black men’s lives. We quote these words from the convention’s address: And why not? Has not the man In the White House set them an example by bowing before the brown and armed dignity of Japan and swaggering roughshod over the helpless black regi ment whose bravery made him famous? With such examples, why should not the lawless and vicious of the land take cour age? Why should not the less civilised part of our country fol low this lead and spread the mockery of republican govern ment In the South? Rut we will not follow. . . . We de mand full exoneration and reinstatement of our shamefully li beled soldiers; and, Anally, in God’s name, we ask justice; qnd not only do we ask and pray, but we back our prayers by deeds. We call on the iOO.OOO free black voters of the North: Use your ballots to defeat Theodore Roosevelt, William Taft, or any man named by the present political dictatorship. Better vote for armed enemies than for false friends. It Is much to be regretted that DuBols, of Atlanta, lends his voice and his Influence to a lot of baneful rhetoric like this rather than to the records which are being made by Stinson, of Morris-Brown University; ng the world to* ti.i/ju.ixn cement plant.

No man lire* Independently of hi* en vironment. whether for good or evil, ami so we flint that what Is agreeable to one Is very offensive to another. People nre Iwrn different—some have unturai adaptability, nnd enu conform to the circumstances that suiorttnd them without so much friction nnd discontentment, while others by nature hnv. but little of the power of adaptability, am nre ntwnys fighting against things they enn not help, even very aninll thing* give them much troubb*—to be hnppy we uinst be bright nnd cheerful, nnd adapt ourselves to own pleats- aim to too pleasures oi other* nround — Tbl* Is a vital principle to bo ,tnught In our families by ini rents to their chil dren. Parent* should tench their children the treat lesson of adaptability by their rnla- .ng, tench them to eat what Is set before them, nuking no questions, nnd then they will be more prudent nt other people's tn from childlike Impulse, and demand flint which Is most agreeable to their taste, without regard to adaptability, and so It Is with many grown people— they ouly want the host of everything In the common luxuries of life, nnd they Ignore the society of good people on account of their humble condition In life. Our duty and mission in this life Is to do good to others, nnd In uo wuy can we accomplish so much good ns to ndnnt ourselves to everything that Is good, uht to nothing that Is evil. We sre crentnres of circumstances, which con trol u* more than we control them, nnd this lietng true make* It nil the more necessary that we accept thing* ns they nre. No people are so happy ns those who nre bright nnd cheerful, with a full share of adaptability In their nature. . The men nnd women In this world who can adapt themselves iu«>st to nil kind* of business nre the greatest lever-power of the world. Wisdom nnd long experi ence tenches ns that It I* liest for nn to live nnd practice adaptability In nil the re* Intlons of human life; great losses and Crosse* often come to people who have no nilnptnblllty—losses of money, losses of positions In business, nnd In society. At the close of the Civil war this wns fully IU«s- truled In the conduct of the poor soldier who had lost his fortune, nnd wn* form) to neeept poverty ns n result, nnd con form to clrcmnutnucen thnt have made many n soldier rich, while others with no adaptability have remained poor with o spirit of discontentment. What we want Is more common sense adaptability nnd contentment with what we hare. And why so much suicide, theft nnd robliery In the world at this time? Hlmply because of such discontentment and want «>f adaptability to our circumstances In life—cant accept poverty and disappointment with content ment. but often ends In suicide. And why so few suicides with the negro? Simply because be 1* contented to live In n Plain simple life, that demands but little of the good things of this life. The negro hn* more of adaptability and less ambition for the higher life. What the negro wants Is a good supply for today nnd let tomor row take care of Itself. And why so many divorces In all this country? Simply be- ennse iff a Iwtd selection of husband or wife with no congeniality of spirit or dispo sition. nnd no adaptability to each other • wants, so very soon one or the other com mits suicide or calls for a divorce, and so It Is with many insane people today who are In the asylum, because of want.of adaptability to the circumstances, that causes them to fret nnd fume until they are only lit subject* for tho Insane asrlum. What we Want Is a full shore of adapta bility In onr natures and less friction—a thing that sets machinery on Are nnd hums up whole towns and cities.

Reginald returns to New York from France, and Ite* gins squandering tho money with which hla cousin supplies .him., A quarter of an hour later, accom panied by Detective Loftus. he entered the corridor of the Grand Hotel. Frank went at once to the desk and r satd to the clerk that he had Just arrived from Now York and wished to make Inqui ries concerning a certain Mr. Brace' bridge. "Who was killed, by an automobile two days since?" Frank nodded assent. "Well.” said the clerk, "I can give you very little Information about tho young gentleman. Ho arrived from New York on the afternoon of the 21st. Two days afterward he was kllleX and his body Is now lying In the hospital. I understand that he had relatives, and they hod been communicated with.’ "Precisely,” said Frank. “At least, mean. If hla Identity Is conclusively established, you understand." "Oh. quite so,” nnd he smiled. "Very essential, that, of course." The letter dropped from Frank’s nerveless hands. Had Mueller killed Reginald? The affair looked like Muel ler’s fiendish work. If he hail, then Mueller wns probably now In possession of the diamond necklace and the two odd diamonds. This letter put an en tirely new complexion on the whole af fair, and Frank realized he was Indeed In a hideous predicament. He looked up and encountered an Inquiring glance from the eyes of the director. Eh! Then it It further confirms' tlon?" said he. He could but nod assent. "Very well, then." ho added cheerful ly. "In the face of such conclusive evi dence, what follows will be a mere formality, painful to you. Mr. Brace bridge, without doubt, but still t necessary formality. Thla way. gen tlemen. If you please." He led them through long corridor* and down at last to a sort of crypt. He beckoned to an attendant, who nt once conducted them to a trestled bier upon which a rigid figure lay. He withdrew a face covering and Frank saw—he knew not whom. CHAPTER LXXXII Hesitation. It might be Reginald. It had much the appearance of being Reginald. But the face waa greatly disfigured and the hair had been cut closely away from a terrible scalp wound, which seemed to htfve altered the configura tion of the head, If It were Indeed Regi. nald’s. Frank looked up and met an Inquiring look from the director. “Well?" sntd he. "Well?” echoed Detective Loftus. Frank turned first to the latter. "What do you think?” he asked. "Don’t know; give It up. Barring the mutilation he look* Juat like the other chap.” Frank then turned to the director. "I am soqtcwhat puzzled,” he said,. ■The body bears a very strong resem blance to that of my cousin; but still the disfigurement may have something to do with It. perhaps." "Everything, my dear sir. Take It for granted that your general Impres sion I* quite correct." He handed the letter without a word of comment to Detective Loftus, and while he read once more surveyed the dead face, and thla time critically. A* he looked the likeness to Reggie seem ed to grow upon him. Despite all dis figurements. this must Indeed be he. Besides, such collateral and cumulative evidence was Irresistible. It was clear that he had made a ghastly mistake In Cleveland. Still. It was a perplexing circumstance that Frank was not alone In doing that. Harris, the money lender, and Barker had been equally positive. Never was a man Impaled upon sharper horns of a which for good or evil must be an'- siyered at once. Decision. Frank had been so stunned by the rapid series of events following the finding of Reginald's body tn Vera Sla- ylnsky's trunk that he had forgotten the one sure mark of the Bracebrldges' Identification—tho clenched hand of the Bracebridges. He rolled up the dead man's sleeve, but started back In sickening horror. The arm was a mutilated mass. There was no chance of identity by 1L Any mark which might have been upon it was forever obliterated. . Frank beckoned Detective Loftus aside. "You examined the body In the trunk pretty thoroughly, did you not?” he asked. "Yes.” "Was there any mark upon tho arm?- 'Just nbove the elbow there was a black and blue discoloration made by Jamming the body too hurriedly Into the trunk. Otherwise there was noth ing," replied the detective. Fate again! Both bodies mutilated at the only positive point of Identifica tion. But the preponderance of evi dence was for tho body before them. Frank made his decision quickly. " He turned to the director with a reassuring smile and said; "Oh, no, I have not the slightest doubt about that; only’’—but before Frank could add an other word the director replied with manifest relief: "Very well, then. There, of course, will be certain legal formalities, cer tain declarations to sign at the coro ner’s office and at police headquar ters. That done, 1 shall bo pleased to hand over the dead man’s effects and body." The plunge was thus taken Into pos sibly a very serious quandary, and how Frank was to got out of It again time alone could tell. At the crucial mo ment. however, he was Indeed thankful that in the astute Detective Loftus ha had such powerful backing whatever might befall. "I may further say,* continued the director, "that to savo you unnecessary trouble I will have the body decently coffined for transmission to Now York, The expense will be very moderate." Frank thanked him very warmly tot his courtesy, and, aa a new Idea then sped Into his brain, added: ”1 purpose wiring at once to the gen tleman who sent the bills to my cousin, asking hlm-to come tomorrow. X should wish him also to Identify the body. That would be quite conclusive.” “Oh, quite so, though realty quite unnecessary," said tho urbano dlrcotor, "Still, it will be my pleasure to meet your wishes In every way. sir.” Five minutes later they were out upon the sweltering boulevard again. "A Bad Job.” "Well, Mr. Detective,” Frank said, “what Is your honest opinion of thla Job, anyhow?" • A bad Job, as I told you Just now," said he. "Still, I think you havo done the proper thing. No mistake this time, In my opinion. A capital Idea,* too, that of bringing the money lender over. If he confirms our opinion, then you are clean out of the woods and need not fear awkward complications. But what about this baroness, eh? Funny how she has got mixed up with the whole affair. Who can the other victim be, and how the deuce did he get Inside her Saratoga trunk?" "The Lord only knows,” said Frank, affecting a nonchalant air he wns far from feeling. "My hair will bo snowy white over this matter. Meanwhile, here comes an electric car. Suppose we Jump Inter It and go straight and send a wire off to Harris." »- This was agreed to and within a quarter of an hour a telegram was speeding on its way to New York. Then they walked back to the Grand Hotel. "Well," said the smiling clerk, "X suppose you have been to the hospi tal.” Yes. and Identified the body." Frank replied. "We shall be atopping here tonight. Kindly give us two room*. I may require another. Will let you know later on. Meanwhile I should like to have a look at Mr. Bracebrtdge’s baggage." "He brought very little with him, sir,” was the reply. “So much the less to examine.” He laughed and rang the bell. A bellboy appeared, who, having received his Instructions, motioned them to fol low. and led the way. "This way;” said he. "The room Is just here, and has not been disturbed since the young fellow left It,” and with that he unlocked a door and stood aside. It was just as the clerk had said. There wns, Indeed, very little to exam ine—a few toilet accessories on the dressing table end a small portman teau containing underclothes and other essential Items of apparel, nothing more. All this Frank could readily understand, as It quite accorded with Reggie's telegram to the hotel In New York, where his baggage still remained. His wns doubtless a very precipitate departure from New York. He hnd ■ probably made n few hasty purchase* on his way to the station. Detective Loftus concurred In thinking this a very reasonable conjecture, and both were more convinced than ever that a grievous mistake had been made In New York, and that they were un doubtedly nn the right track at last. A few minutes later they were out on the street again, this time In quest of the chief of police. It Is needless te give a detailed account of what took place there. Alt difficulties were sat isfactorily smoothed over and every formality duty compiled with, so that wtlhln a couple of hour* Frank and I-oftus were empowered to take posses- slon of Reginald's body and all his ef fects.
