With the revolving year* time brings great gaps In the serried
ranks of the veterans of ’61*65. Each Memorial Day- sees the ranks
thinner, and many of those remaining behind sadly enfeebled by age
and the soul-racking trial of those memorable year*.
But In the hearts and phyalcal evidence of the South, Memorial
Bay will continue as a tribute to the heroic men who fought then, and
who are numbered now among the mighty host of the dead. Each re
currence of this day. set aside from tha busy affairs of men to pay
chastened tribute to the brave dead, sees many new mounda upon
which to lay wreaths of tender spring blooms, symbols of a people’*
deathless love.
Forty-three years have rolled by since the musket and sword were
laid down, and a broken but undaunted people took up even a
mightier burden—rebuilding from the blown ashes of ruin a beautiful,
prosperous and happy land. Today the new*South stand* aa a monu
ment to the unselflab love and the - herculean labor* of the men who stood
tattered, hungry, but brave a» the bravest, with Lee at Appomattox.
Sentiment? Ye*, but the sentiment born of admiration for the
bravest, truest men the world’e history record*. Brave In the atom of
bullets and death, but braver perhaps In the dauntless courage with
which the task of rebuilding the wasted place* was resumed so unraur-
murlngly, and accomplished with such success.
THE GEORGIA PEACH
Dispatches from the peach belt forecast a fine crop this year. It
Is said the mild spring, with Ita plenty of rain and sunshine, has liter
ally loaded the peach trees with luscious fruit, and the problem now
Confronting tho grower ha* reference to labor rather than to tha crop
Itself.
Report* from the eastern and western peach section* seem to Indi
cate a rattier small crop this year. Those areas have not been blessed
with the frostless spring we of this section have enjoyed, It seems; and
as a result the Georgia peach has In prospect a market with no rival
of consequence lo compete with it.
If the present outlook Is verified a* the season progresses, the state
of Georgia will havo occasion to rejoice In the addition of several very
material millions In new wealth by the Jlme the fall trade geta active.
THE SUFFERERS FROM THE STORM
Once more the great heart of the South pulaes In sympathy with
communities in her borders torn by the tornado. In four state* the
deadly wind storm has razed whole towns, and the widow and orphan
in scores are added to the long list already credited to this kind of
catastrophe.
As compared with the rest of tho country, the South has been singu
larly fortunate in escaping from the dreadful calamities which have
befallen the people of other sections, and therefore the storm disaster
of last week has aroused the sympathies of the whole nation.
Many communities have suffered greatly from the effect* of the
storm, but with Spartan courage tho survivor* have gone to work to
bring order out of disorder and are now building anew many of the
structures which wore swept ntvay by the fury of the blast. The people
of the Sout,h are not the kind to allow themselves to be hampered
long by adversity. They believe that the man who helps himself la the
one who wins, and It Is kills very spirit that has served to build up
this part of the country to Its present high standard.
The more fortunate- communities have come to the aid of their
stricken friends and neighbors and suffering has been, and la belog,
alleviated as far aa possible. It may be some time before certain of tha
Storm-swept communities recover from- the effect* of th# disaster, but
It Is certain that the undaunted spirit of perseverance will prevail In the
end. v s

Any influence The Atlanta Journal,

Augusts Chreniels.
The Atlanta Georgian, which, we are
assured. I* the prohibition spokesman
In Georgia, tells us that "the court of
last resort” has spoken, and prohibition
not an lesue la the gubernatorial
race. The Georgian want* mention of
prohibition as applied to the contest
between Mr. Smith and Mr. Brown
halted and "let's talk about something
else."
Macon Telegraph.
In his speech at the auditorium on
Tuesday night Governor Hoke Smith
complained In an Injured way that The
Telegraph did not loudly herald hit
coming. If he had looked to the sixth
page, fourth colufnn, half way down, he
would have seen a two-deck new* no
tice of his coming. If he hod looked In
Sunday's paper and .Monday’s paper
He Would have seen some black pica
notices of his coming, put In by hi*
friend*.. There friends contracted to
run Nhe-e Mark pira notices Suqffay.
Monday Rnd Tuesday, but on Monday
they cancelled the order nnd had them
taken out: and that Is the reason thsy
did not appear Tuesday morning, the
day of the speaking. We preeume they
thought the meeting had been auffl-
clently advertised. The order to dis
continue the black pica ndtleos was. of
course, given to the business office,
and the action taken by Mr. Smith's
friend* In this regard was not known
to the editor- of The Telegraph until
Tuesday during the day. Mr. Smith's
frlepd* had undertaken to advertise
tho meeting. We would have cheer
fully given more apace to a new* story
of hi a coming It It had been known to
the editorial department that hi* local
managers had ordered their advertise
ment for Tuesday's paper omitted on
that date, the dav of the speaking.
But there Is only one way to please
the Smith kind of politician, and that Is
to follow him blindly, which The Tele
graph ls not doing, and If you do not
follow him blindly he puts you In his
Ananias Club.
8enoia Enterprise-Gazette.
Th# Atlanta Journal's prohibition
talk Is being dished out with very little
effect. They do not practice what they
preach, for they receive about 12.000
per month from whisky houses for their
advertising space. They may "cover
Dixie like the dew,” but the dew Is
poison. Cut out the liquor ads and
you can talk prohibition with more
effect.

For good and sufficient reasons we

two year* 1 ago, and for the life of us
we can't see what he has done that

pecially when It has been a well estab.
Ilshed custom to give governors the
second term. The railroads, liquor In
terests and politicians are all against
Smith; they were two years ago. They
are now supporting Brown, not upon
his merits, but for the reason they are
against Bmlth, and their opposition to
Bmlth Is purely a selfish one. Govern
or Smith has done what he could to
carry out the platform he ran on before
and ha* declared himself an uncompro
mising prohibitionist. We have always
been for prohibition and w* can't un
derstand why It Is that the liquor men
are so enthusiastic for Brown. If Brown
Is such a good prohibitionist. It Is all
