All things are forgotten and for
given In politics. Look at Tom Wat
son and Tho Constitution for a mil
lennial spectacle of peace
Many of the Chattanooga factories
and enterprises are moving across the
lino Into Georgia to get the benefit of
lower taxes and better laws. Dut the
saloons remain. This la not a divi
sion of which Georgia should com
plain.
The Atlanta Georgian, the
ablest and most fearless among
the journalistic advocates of the
new regime In Georgia politics,
scents mischief fn the motley ar
ray of ofllco-aeekera created by
conditions, and In a recent Issue
Bounds a strong and timely warn
ing to Its friends. What The
Georgian saya sounds strange but
rings true.—Monroe Tribune.
The spirit of that editorial was not
so much a warning against danger as
u counsel to prudence and delibera
tion. Eventa are moving too rapidly
tor men and voters to be committing
themselves In advance. It Is wise to
wait In a time of rapid change.
The editor of The Georgian Is
of tho opinion that "the Populists
have won. not by direct victory,
hut by tho peaceful line of educat
ing the Democracy to their
views." Of course Mr. Graves,
only means by this that the Pop
ulists have won the Democratic
party; they haven't won any na
tional elections yet. even through
their conversion of I he Democra
cy. There seems to bo enough
Democrats of tho old line loft "un
educated" to Populist views to
make the fusion exceedingly pre
carious. We, however, admire
Mr. Graves' frankness In stating
the condition to which his party
has been brought through tho
winning eloquence and command
ing voice of—which? Mr. Bryan
or Tom Watson?—Chattanooga
Times.
By tho way, to what party does The
Chattanooga Times (olong? We “used
to know," but we have forgotten.
In another column of this pa
per we publish In full an edito
rial from John Temple Graves,
editor of The Atlanta Georgian,
urging the people to wait upon
political developments before
committing their ballota as to
measures and men.
We publish It because of tho
sound, non-partisan sentiment
which It expresses.
It has always been the Idea of
The Union New* that every cltl-
yen of tho South should vote, but
wn have never believed that any
citizen should tie himself hand
and foot until every Issue and
every plank of every platform had
been made perfectly clear.
We believe that the people
should demand of the candidates
running for any given offlee a full
and clear discussion of every
point of their respective plat
forms; these candidstes to meet
each other. In public discussion,
of the questions at issue, while
the people keep their ears open
and their tongues silent.—Farm
ers’ Union News.
President Duckworth and hla
fanner friends were the people
to whom The Georgian's admo
nition was advanced. Every politi
cian In the country is after the farm
er. Every demagogue la hunting for
his votes. The farmer, of all men,
ought to go slow and be deliberate
and thoughtful and independent in hla
THE THRONED HORSE.
The horse Is regnant once more for a fleeting day In Georgia.
Since the war horse of the Scriptures, "his neck clothed with thunder,”
through tho Bucephalus whom Alexander trained down to tho Gray Travel
er who shares tho Immortality of Robert Lee. tho horse has been a thing
of glory and of honor among mon.
Never In bis great career haa he been nearer to eclipse than In this
great ago of electric machines and motor cars. The motorcycle and the
horseless carriage have made an assault upon the equine reign whoso re
sults are yet to be decided.
No man can tell the outcome of this electric age.
There'was a time twelve years ago when the equine emperor fronted
a swift decay. When the bicycle and the electric car lines swept tho
movement of men the horse went down to low estate. The best of the
race could be bought for a song. The draft horses of Illinois and In
diana were selling for $30 a pair, single animals went quickly for a golden
'eagle, and even the thoroughbreds of Kentucky went softly away under
the auctioneer's hsmmer for prices so small that the owner felt glad the
splendid animals could not realize the Ignominy of their barter.
But the horse rallied bravely and came to bis own again. He looked
the electric whlzzers In the face and whinnied hla belief that the world
was big enough for both of them. His step grew proud again, his prices
soared' until he was once more a king In the markets of the race.
And he Is still In the mart of transportation glories—going high and
strong. His withers are unwrung by shame, and the man wild gets or
owns hlht has to' pay the princely price. The first round of the equine
battle with the motor car Is up to date a draw. How long we do not
know. How firm his hold upon the world of motion no one just now
can- say. '
For ourselves, In old-fashioned loyalty we are hla subject yet No
rapid whirl of tireless motion, no alr-cuttlng speed, no thump of steam,
no glory of mere machinery can disturb our loyalty to tho comradeship,
the magnetism that glides along the reins, and to the human touch, of
high spirit, of flashing eye and of thrilling vein. .
The motorman on an electric car enjoys the same sensation as tho
millionaire driving his automobile along the sands. But the pulse that
hold* the reins behind a Kentucky thoroughbred Is nearer akin to ecsta
sy than any mechanics could create. . ,
Some day the fever in the vein* of this electric era will be stilled—
the mad desire to straddle the lightning and to call for spurs will glvo
place to statelier motion and to more majestic line—and on that day
the horse will come once more into his royal place.
Meanwhile the fashionable whirl revolves around his majesty In At
lanta. On Tuesday night the fickle queens of social life, with their escorts
and their finery, will forsake the auto, and for a fleeting season bow down
Woro the Horse.
WHEN BRYAN GOMES TO ATLANTA.
In an Interview tho other day Colonel Henry Watterson, of Kentucky,
said to Julius Chambers, representing the International News Service;
"Party lines have ceased to exist. We must have a new party—a di
vision of the people upon other lines. The old parties are dead. Roose
velt haa destroyed what was left of the Republican party. Rooseveltlsm
Is like Bryanlsm In 1896—like It In many ways. Bryan would havo Mexl-
canlzed our currency; Roosevelt’s re-election will Moxlcanlze the stato.
If ho Is to be kept In the white house, by all means let It be for life. Make
him king! Do more than that—make him emperor!”
The colonel then spoko of the hopelessness of Democracy until Wil
liam Jennings Bryan is politically dead.
"Look at Bryan! For seven years l have boen proving to him why
he should not longer disturb the future of the once real party in which I
was raised. But I haven’t feazed him. It he is weak today, he Is
stronger tomorrow; or vice versa. Ho will not get out of tho way for
others. He will ditch the train, it ho can not ride in the box. I hove
quit politics forever. I wouldn't go to the convention, state or national.
I have been pugnacious, heaven knows, but I’m through with that. I
shall becomo, or try to become, an essayist, dealing with the simplici
ties of life—tho beatitudes, If you like. No more politics for me.”
"Of course, politica ls tho life’s blood of the American newspaper,” ho
resumed, after a bit of historical reminiscence. "1 suggested Governor
Johnson, of Minnesota, because I know him to bo clean and Intelligent.
There are other men quite as sincere, equally honest and surely as capa
ble. I am not In favor of anybody. I am told that a Republican evening
paper quotes me as saying that 1 never heard of Lewis Stuyvesant Chan-
ler. I never uttered Buch a word, because It Is false. I knejv his father.
The son comes of fine stock. How would ‘Chanler and Johnson' suit me?
Good as any, tf Mr. Bryan could be eliminated. He Is a destroyer of
plans and a breaker of image*. I am sick and disgusted with the people
of my state; how should I bo expected to take any Interest In the pros
pect of carrying New York with n man who has proved his popularity by
attaining office when the head of bis own ticket was defeated? No; I am
out of politics.”
All of which quoting at length from Mr. Watterson Is thoroughly
Inconsistent, which Is to say thoroughly consistent with the veteran Ken
tucky editor, who has boen on both sides of nearly every question be
fore th'e American people—for ami against Bryan, for and against the
IxiulsvUle and Nashville railway, for and against Goebel, and for and
against the Kentucky constitutional convention.
This la evidently not the season of the year in which Colonel Wat
terson la for Mr. Bryan. Perhaps as the autumn passes Into winter hla
mood may change, and the Nebraskan may have hti support for a time.
The first sentences of Mr. Watterson’s Interview read exactly like the
Chattanooga speech, which he and others criticised vigorously at the
time. If ever there was a time for the people to express their will
freely, and to put their consciences Into their ballots, the time Is at
hand.
The man who wins In the next elections, slate and national, should
win on his merits and services, and not on the vociferous lung power In
which he proclaims his loyalty to party.
Mr. Bryan is coming to Atlanta within the week. We do not need to
reiterate a respect for him which has lived and spoken when some of hla
present time-servers were depreciating hla fame and alighting hla serv
ices.
But we go far enough with Colonel Watterson to think that Mr. Bry
an ought to declare himself. He can have the nomination If he wants It.
If he does not want it, he should not defer saying so, until his party Is
rushed Into a precipitate nomination at the last moment.
Mr. Bryan can afford to be definite.
He is great enough and strong enough to say now what he Is going
to do.
We trust he will tell us In Atlanta.

One of the new Texas Irrigation project* la that of the Wharton Irrigation
Company, which will locate Its plant on the Colorado river, 2 mllea west of Whar
ton. Tex., and proposes eventually to water 25,009 acre* of land. The under
taking of a proposition of this exteut la significant of the development which »nny

ennsniung engineer In chsrge, nud according to the preneut plnn 15 miles of main
canal will l>e constructed this year, or t»efore the time for watering next sensou's
crop. This, with the lateral raimt* will Irrigate from 10,000 to 12,000 acres of laud.
The tnnchlnerv equipment. Including pumps and engines for lifting the neces
sary quantities of water to supply - the canals. Is comprised In two cross-compound
condensing engines driving two Winch double-suction centrifugal pumps, the com
plete units being built by the Allls-Clmlmera Company, of Milwaukee.
Finch of the new pumping unit* will have a normal capacity of 60,500,000 gal
lons per twenty-four hours, working sgalust a 3S-fo»t bead with steam at a pressure
of 15>» p4>ut»d« per square inch. The engines are equipped with Atlls-ChnInters bar-

The pumps arc located between the high a ml low pressure cylinders mounted
directly upon the shaft, and In such a manner that the pump runners, when Ailed
with water, supply all the required fly wheel effect. Water enters the pumps
from both side* at and directly opposite tho center of the revolving Impeller, thus
forming a balanced suction. Three 2S0-h<>rsejM>wer Atlas water tub* boilers will
supply the necessary steam for operating.

NE W TELE GRA PHMA CHINE

DOES E1GHI MEN'S WORK
FOUND UNCLE DYING
WHEN HE AWOKE
A machine that promUes to revolu
tionize telegraphy, and which Is to the
telegraph busfnees what the linotype
Is to the printing business. Is now be
ing used by the Western Union Tele
graph Company, and for every one
used eight expert telegraph operators
are displaced.
For the past few weeks C. A. Whit
ney, of New York, an electrical expert,
haa been In Atlanta Installing three of
these machines In the main office of
the Western Union, and messages from
New York are being received over It
dally.
The machine, known ae the Barclay
printing telegraph. Is the result of five
years of experimenting upon the part
of Its Inventor, J. C. Barclay, assistant
general manager and electrical engi
neer of the Western Union. After a
thorough test of these machines In the
New York and other big offices, the
company decided to buy all the patents
last November. A committee ot promi
nent officlale, one of whom was Su
perintendent J. Levin.-of Atlanta, re
ported favorably on the machine, and
on this report the company bought the
patents and the exclusive rights to
manufacture It.
Has Big Capacity.
It Is so perfect In Its work that It
receives and prints on a line of the
dlatance from Atlanta to Birmingham
something like 2,800 messages a day,
and Superintendent Levin says a fast
operator,, working at high pressure, can
only send 400. And all that Is neces
sary Is a girl to Insert telegram blanks
on the typewriter attachment and take
out the messages as they are printed.
For sending the messages, a girl Is
also used, and she uses a keyboard
Just like a typewriter. As she touches
a key a motor-driven mechanism perfo.
rates a paper tape with the requisite
number of dots and dashes, and when
this tape Is finished It Is placed In a
transmitter, run through automatically,
and .on the end of the wire hundreds
of miles away the printing mechanism
begins grinding out messages faster
than one girl at the sending end can
perforate the tape. In fact, one send
ing machine requires three girls work
ing at the perforating keyboard.
The printing mechanlem consists of
a magnetically controlled typewriter.
There Is an electrical contrivance at
tached to the printing machine capable
of making many combination., and
when a certain letter Is transmitted by
the perforated tape the magnet controll
ing that letter Is put into aclon at the
other end of the wire on the printing
machine and the letter Is printed by the
typewriter. The Blickensderfer form
of typewriter Is used, with some im-
provementa, and there Is a magnet to
control every motion. When the end of
a line Is reached, the girl sending the
message, or rather the girl who Is
perforating It on the tape, strikes a
character signifying that the carriage
of the typewriter Is as far as It will
go and must be pulled back. But the
girl putting the paper In the typewriter
and taking out the finished messages
does not do this. As soon as the char
acter on the tape signifying that the
carriage must be moved back doe, It
work, the carriage-is Instantly moved
back to begin Its work again by a mo
tor. constantly running on the back of
the typewriter.
It Is All Automatic.
At the qame time the roller holding
the paper Is moved so that the line
written Is moved up. In other words,
characters on the tape do on this mag
netic and motor driven typewriter what
a typist does in writing upon a type,
writer.
Superintendent Levin says he has
been trying to get some of these ma
chines In Atlanta since last November,
when the company bought the patents,
but only recently has he succeeded. He
says several of these machines were
installed In New York In addition to
those already there, and points out
that the men displaced by them were
brought to Atlanta and other cities aft
er the strike.
At present the machines used In At
lanta are working with New York and
are kept busy all day long. Superin
tendent Levin says he will later connect
them with Birmingham and other Im
portant points In the South. There are
now In the Atlanta office three perfo
rating devices and two printing ma
chines. For several days past girls
have been practicing on the perforating
machines until now they are ready to
send messages, and Superintendent
Levin expects to begin this feature on
Monday.
Puzzles Recipients.
The machine acts with almost human
Intelligence and not a thing seems left
undone to make it absolutely automatic.
The girl at the typewriter printing the
messages does not touch a thing ex
cept the blank paper going in and the,
printed messages coming out. Nothing
but capital letters are used, and the
receipt within the last few days of
these messages by Atlanta merchants
has caused considerable speculation.
Many of them called up Superintendent
Levin and wanted to know what new
kind of typewriter was being used.
"This machine,” said Superintendent
Levin, Ts one of the greatest Inven
tions of the age. It will revolutionize
the telegraph business. Where one of
these machlnek is used eight operators
are displaced and In their place is one
girl.”
The Western Union manufactures
them and owns them exclusively.

TACTICS OF WHISKY CROWD
To tbs Editor of The Georgian:

Georgia and Her Hypocrisy.
(From The Easton, Pa., Free Press.)
Undoubtedly one of tho most miserable
shams In the history of stato legislation has
recently been accomplished by Georgia.
Great stress has been lnld upon the fact
and It Is clothed with Importance, since It
tends to show the emotlousl signs of the
times, that Georgln has Jumped from local
option to prohibition. Now by law liquor
eon not be mads, nor sold, nor given away,
and even the drug stores are prohibited
from supplying to the side or the dying
any stlmutnut with the exception of puru
alcohol. If a physician finds that cham
pagne, now so frequently used tn the sick
room and hospitals, or brandy, Is necessary,
the law demands that the patient shall
die rather than the liquor prescription shall

But how came Georgia to enact such n
sweeping Interdict? Thera Is always one
side to a story and this one has two. To
pas* prohibition It had to be based upon

"poor white trash." Stop It, and "nigger"
crime against womanhood will cease was
the argument, and It caught the mtnda of
emotlousl and thoughtless men and women.
But prohibition could not l*e passed In
Georgia either on moral or temperance
grounds which has been claimed. It waa
only passed upon the promise to rob the
"nigger" of his right to vote. It pissed
one day by a vote of ten to one, nml. mark
yon! tbs very next day the legislature
passed an ace disfranchising the negro.
Here was n questionable political deal and
a bargain that was manipulated nml ac
complished by the politicians both within
and without the church.
Now, innrk again the subsequent action
of this same Georgia legislature. Wltb-

of a drop of honey.
Upon January 1. 1908, the bar of every
hotel must he closed—even the rooms n»

But around the corner, or at the next
cross road, will be tin* club. Home life

NO BOOZE, THEREFORE
NO SCUETZENFEST.
Special to The Qeorglnn.
Charleston, S. C., Oct. 14.—The an
nual schuetzenfest of 'the Charleston
German Kifle Club has been called off
because recently a temporary injunc
tion was served by Attorney General
Lyon on the cafe at the schuetzen-
platz, and Jt has been determined by
the Germans that a fest without beer
would be like a church oyster stew ml.
nus the oyster. The Germans consid
ered the shutting off of their beer for
the shooting festival as a fatal blow,
anil now hope that by next spring the
Injunction will have been dissolved and
all will be well. Governor Ansel, who
polled a large German vote, especially
In Charleston, has handed his constit
uents here what they think is a lemon
by shutting up the German schuetzen
platz beer garden. The 'feat waa V
have been given this week.

Speelal to The Georgian.
Newberry. *S. C., Oef. 14.—Newberry
county probably has tho prize cotton
Pickers or the South; that is, If the re.

1,829 pounds of the fleecy staple In one
day. the amounts for each picker being
304, 406. 389. 370 and 360 pounds. This
record for fast picking Is probably un-
equaled anywhere In South Carolina,
