A Great People and a Mad Campaign
Fifteen months ago there were five prominent Geor
gians in the full enjoyment of tranquillity and high
repute among their fellow-citizens.
Each of these gentlemen was prominent, respected,
and trusted In his own community and in the state at
large. If any one of these gentlemen had given his note
for a debt of honor it would have been accepted in any
section of the commonwealth. If any one of them had
been tendered an appointment to a high station of trust
and responsibility by governor or president the an
nouncement would have been greeted by applause un-
mixed with criticism. If any one of them had died the

and services, and the estimate of his life by press and
public might have been printed with pride as the epitaph
upon his tomb.
Today these men, without exception, are smirched
with suspicion and sprinkled with mud thrown wanton
from the camps of personal opposition. Not one of
them has escaped the breath of slander or the brand of
infamy expressed In open charge or implied in sneaking
Innuendo. One of these men is charged with cruelty
equivalent to crime and with immorality amounting to
The Georgia Encampment.
Tbe three regiment* of Georgia militia now In em
rampinrnt at Cblckamauga, together with tbe Seven
teonth Regiment of the regular army, are undergoing a
discipline and drill which cannot fall to prove of great
advantage to the atate troopa. at leaat. The heat of gdod
feeling prevalla between the regular an4 the volunteer
troopa, and the Georgia boy* are profiting to the fullest
extent by tbe advantages they enjoy in being put through
various maneuvers In conjunction with the regular
troops.
The severe weather which has prevailed since the
troops went Into camp on Saturday and Sunday hat
given the boys a taste of tbe hardships of actual army
We. We are Informed that the discipline and exercise
•re not so severe as they were at Manaisas, when the
volunteers suffered a great deal and there was much
eomplalnt.
A happy medium seems to have ,been found. It is
■ot a mere holiday Jaunt, but real soldiering that the
boys are up against, and they themselves have accepted
the fact that they aro In for all the Improvement they
can get. ,
It wsb evidently tbe part of wisdom on tbe part of
the* general assembly to Increase tbe appropriation for
the Georgia volunteers. That this branch of tbe state
service la valuable In time of war was proven once a’nil
for all during tbe recent Spanlsh-Amerlcan war. It re
quired but a short time to convert raw recruits Into
hardy veterans, and the service they rendered will for*
aver remain as a monument to the courage and diligence
and patriotism of the volunteer soldier.
At the same time It I* undoubtedly true that In
time of peace wo can do no better than to maintain
the highest degree of efficiency on the part of these
volunteers. They need the experience which can best
be derived from actual operations and from contact with
the regular soldiers, under the command of regular of
ficers. This they are getting at Chlckamauga and all are
enjoying and profiting by the experience.
Mr. Candler’s Bill for County Tax
Boards.
Tho Georgian speeds its best wishes to the Candler
amendment to the Hall bill providing for county boards
of tax assessment.
Mr. Hall's bill for a state board is good, but would
be Incomplete and Ineffective without the Candler
amendment providing for county boards of assessors.
The question of taxation is one very near to tho
- - people of Georgia, and the question of the equality of
misdemeanor. One of them Is arraigned for neglect and ‘taxation Is growing more vital every year.
The ceaseless effort of individuals to evade Just
carries beat and bravest and most definite the banner
of my convictions here?
The whole duty of the voter and the citizen is
framed in the questions and the answer which he
makes.
Every man's ballot is his civic conscience, tt ex
presses his high conception of his duty to the people
and the state. It expresses his Judgment of the wise
and prudent policy which will make for the prosperity
of his business, the betterment of society and the safety
of his home.
Let every citizen carry his conscience to the polls.
Let personalities be lost In patriotism, and let pas
sion l>e forgotten in the high and holy interests of the
state. Let a pure ballot rebuke a passionate campaign.
Pass the “Honest” Election Law.
The people of tbe state heartily approve of the ac
tion ot the house In passing the bill Introduced by Mr.
Wright, ot Richmond, throwing additional safeguards
around tho ballot box, and It la earnestly hoped that
when this measure comes up as a special order In the
senate tomorrow It will meet with prompt and unani
mous support.
Tho lending features ot this bill are that the safe
guards now thrown around regular elections shall bo
mmlo to apply equally to primary elections, thnt the hi.-
Ing of persons to work for a candidate either before or
during an election, tho offering ot money or-other thin?
of value for tbe purpose of buying votes at an election
shall be made n misdemeanor, and that “on the trial ot
any person for offending against this section of tbe
code any other person who may have participated In any
violation of tho provisions of tho samo shall be a com
petent witness, and be compelled to give evidence," etc.
The latter feature Is regarded at one of the strong
est features of the bill. Tho fact that heretofore.lt was
well nigh Impossible to get evidence of the violation of
•lection laws has been h serious drawback to the purtfl
ration of tho elections In this state, and It It hoped that
tho present provisions will remedy this defect.
On the whole, there has been no bill before the pres
ent session of the general assembly which more entirely
enlists the Interest of the people than this measure of
Mr. Wright's. The corruption of the franchise strikes
■t the very foundations of representative government,
So long as It Is possible to buy and sell rotes In the
open market, and at the same time It Is Impossible to
collect evidence of such violations, the victory In any
content is bound to go to the man or tbe measure In
whose Interest tho most money and the most corrupt
methods are employed.
Under such conditions the franchise becomes a
mockery and a sham. Tho example of corruption em
ployed In elections, which Is the source of all power in
representative governments, gangrenes the state and
spreads the Infection of dishonor everywhere. It per
verts the manhood and morality of tho rising generation
and Instills Into their minds a flippant disregard for tho
Institutions on which oar freedom and prosperity rest.
There have been wnrnlngs enough In the pnst that
something should be done to purify our elections. We
have no desire to awaken unpleasant memories, and
certainly no desire to reflect upon one faction more
than another, but ’the acenei which occurred In Savan
nah In the recent election were enough to stir the In
dignation of the entire state. The news that went out
to the world that such shameless corruption of the fran
chise went on In one of the fairest cities of Georgia was
calcnlaied to discredit ua everywhere. Tho scenes which
have been enacted In Richmond county In llmo past have
left a blight on the fair fame ot that grand old county
which she feels to the present day.
Georgia and tbe South have been striving ogatnat
fearful odds during the past forty years to assume thetr
Just rank In tho economic progress of the country. Our
fields and factories have been offering splendid opportu
nitles to labor and capital everywhere.
Tbe tide of prosperity has at last turned this way.
We are growing by leaps and bounds. But there
nothing which will reassure timid- capital more effec
tively than to place It upon the records that the elections
in this stato are not only pure but above tbe possibility
of fraud. There la nothing which will more quickly In
duce Immigration than the assurance to every man who
casts his lot with us and makes Ms home here that ))•
will have a full and fair opportunity to participate in
)ur representative government.
All of this splendid progress would be nullified and
ritlsted. In s large degree, it It should go out to the
world that we had turned down this opportunity to
make our elect too laws absolutely honest and fair.
It Is up to the senate. The bouse has spoken In
unmistakable terms on the question, and the co-opera
tion of tbe senate will make tho triumph of righteous
ness and honesty and Justice complete for all time to
come.
Incompetence In public duty and with demagogy that
Is akin to knavery*. One Of them Is charged with treason
to tho dead Confederacy of our dreams. And two of
them—God save the mnrk'—are sprinkled and spattered
from head to foot with mud and ink snatched from pools
of circumstance and suspicion that stain them with tbe
Imputation of every personal Iniquity and of almost
every civic crime. Lying, hypocrisy, deceit, stnnder,
treason, Impurity, and vice—Infidelity to race. Infidelity
to party and Infidelity to country—cowardice In public
service, and perfidy In private trust—all these fearful
and frightful terms and Imputations aro bandied to and
fro with tho abandon of savages and the wanton deduc
tions of anarchy.
Shades of our Fathers! Have Georgia politics come
to this? Are character, dignity, responsibility and high
reputo all to be flung nwny in this mad scramble for of
fice, and In this wild wassail of personal ambition? Aro
the good names bullded _ through patient years to bo
blasted In one fierce campaign of conflicting personal do-,
sire. Are the traditions of our politics and of our race
to be swept away In this mad modorn method of aban
doned vilification?
Why, In the age of our ancestors, thore would hive
been a dozen rifles to ring tbe answer to tbe furious
personalities of this one tempestuous canvass. In tbe
clvlllxation which our fathers bullded the field ot honor
would have run crimson with the response to one-hall
the mortal Intuits that have passed between Georgians
who are neither cowards nor knaves.
The age of chivalry haa gone. Tho day of personal
combat Is discredited nil over the land—and wo Justly
plume ourselves upon tho advancing civilization which
has wiped awriy from personal quarrels tho arbitrament
of blood. '
But In the mortal revulsion which good men and
true men are feeling everywhere over the abandoned
license or vituperative politics, tho suggestion ts re
vived that thore may be deadlier things than tho re
volver and the knlfo. Men who remember the day
when honor wbb held abovo life, are asking thomsolves
If we have Improved upon tho customs of nn earlier
time. - Tho ago*of personal responsibility was the age
of courtesy and tho nge of purity. In the day of Its
regnant rulo men wertf not less chrfeful of the stalfl
upon a good man's .honor tlmn they were of the slightest
shadow upon the crystal of a woman's name. And If
this wild tide of passionate abuse Is to go unchecked
through tire customs of tho present day, men Who have
both courage and honor may go backward to the primal
and tho elemental law.
Batter tbe ego of personal responsibility than iho
age ot character-wrecking and abuse. Better the knight
than the' fishwife.
Better the code duello than the age of billingsgate!
Voters of Georgia, In this crisis of economic prin
ciple and of both civic and personal honor, there rests
a great responsibility upon you. Upon your wisdom,
Justice and moderation wa must depend for the straight
enlng ot this passionate tangle, and the solution ot this
Issue which has become not less personal than racial
nnd economic.
Tbe traditions of a great race are with you, and
you ltvo In nn ago ot onllghtenment nnd wldosprcad In
formation. You are wiser and greater than tbe men who
Insult your Intelligence. when they proffer you passion
for argument or bitterness for reason. Tho state and the
future confidently expect that yon will keep clear mind*
and tranquil tempers through this vindictive storm.
And we have confidence that you will vindicate your
groat history In this serious crisis.
You know that If these five Georgia gentlemen were
guilty ot one-half the chargee hurled against them by
their Jealous rivals, not one of them would be fit for
private association, much less for public trust.
You know that not one of them Is of the dye and
kidney painted by those who hate and envy him. You
know these five Georgian! are as good today as they
were upon that tranquil June of INS In which they
looked unlustfu! upon the offices of the state. At they
were worthy of trust and honor then they are each
worthy ot trust and honor now.
Put hack with scorn the small and envious rage .In
which cavilling competitors have covered those men with
disrepute. 8pew nut the personal Issue from thle shame
ful and sad campaign, and looking straight and clear upon
tbe brave white ballots ot the Democratic primary, bold
your minds steadfast to the three great questions which
the campaign hold*—
1. What are the Issue* of this campaign?
2. Where do my convictions take their honest stand
amid these Issues at they are framed? and
3. What man of all this list of honest Georgia us cru . i, dead, and
taxation by the return of property at prices tar below
the normal value of these iKissesslons entails a burden
of vast proi>ortlon upon the itoorer classes and ui>on
the honest people of the state. There does not appear
any way on earth by which these things can be remedied
except by the Impartial supervision of the law. And no
state board of assessment can cover the returns of the
individual tax payers of the state.
There seems to be no reasonable doubt of the
passage of Mr. Candler’s Mil, nnd we sincerely trust
that It may have safe and overwhelming indorsement
at the ballots of Tuesday's session.
The Alabama Election
The Birmingham News Is authority for the state
ment that the late governor, Joseph E. Johnson, of
Birmingham, is certain to ho one of the alternate sen
ators from Alabama. The other place, according to Tho
News. Is between John B. Knox, W. C. Oates, R. H.
Clark, John H. Bankhead. Jesse Stallings and W. C.
Fitts. ,
Comer and Cunningham are still fighting It out In
vigorous-style for the gubernatorial chair. Two months
ago Mr. Comer's election was regarded as certain. Of
late, however, Cunningham has entered nn element of
doubt Into the campaign because of hla vigorous candi
dacy. The chances are still In favor of Comer.
But with all the rush of the campaign, Alabama Is
to be congratulated upon tho fact that Its state politics
are lacking In the pitiless and vindictive personalities
which disfigure our own campaign.
CHORUS OF DEMANDS
THA T CHE A THAM RESIGN
Mr. Cheatham Should Resign.
From the Macon Telegraph.
Secretary Cheatham, of the Southern
Cotton Association, should resign—“by
request," If necessary. The associa
tion's Interests are of too great and
grave concern to the entire South to
tampered with by an unfaithful
trustee. Mr. Cheatham admits having
broken the trust reposed In him. The
association was organized for the pur
pose, chiefly, of counteracting the
causes and instrumentalities which the
growers believed were responsible for
depreciating the price of their staple
below a figure at which It could be
profitably produced. Chief among these
Instrumentalities, as they regarded It,
was the widespread selling and buying
of future options on cotton, and so cer
tain were the growers, the association
and others that this practice was prej
udicial to the profitable handling of
their product that a bill was Introduced
In the Georgia legislature and success
fully fought through the ■
resentatlves abolishing
changes and .bucket shims. As the sec'
ond most prominent officer of the as
sociation, Mr. Cheatham was In the
thick of the fight being waged against
the speculation In cotton futures and
against the exchanges and bucket
shops through which It was carried on.
It Is at this critical Juncture that the
cry Is raised that there are “traitors''
In the Southern Cotton Association's
ranks. The npparently absurd charge
was made that some of those who were
denouncing bucket shops were finan
cially Interested In bucket shops. That
among the most vehement denunciators
of futures speculation there were some
who secretly speculated In future*.
That prominent offlclals of the assocla.
tlon were hunting with the hounds nnd
running with the Imres. Mr. Cheat
ham was prompt to make Indignant
denial of personal Implication In these
charges. In the Investigation which
followed he was forced In the face of
overwhelming testimony to admit that
he had been doing the very thing
ngalnst which he was fighting as an
officer of the association—that he had
been dealing In cotton futures and thus
helping to hurt the Interests he was
paid and trusted to protect, If hm be
lieved the professions and principles he
publicly avowed.- Whether he specu
lated for himself or other* did not af
fect the question In the slightest from
hi* standpoint. .
Unquestionably such a denouement
destroys Mr. Cheatham's capacity for
further usefulness to the Southern cot
ton Association. If the association
could ever trust him again It can
scarcely continue Its Interest* In the
hand* of a man so foolish us to make
a bitter war upon people who he must
have known had the power by retaliat
ing to destroy him.
No Palliation or Excuse.
FromMhe Charleston Post.
The committee appointed by the
president of the Southern Cotton As
sociation, relative to ‘their participa
tion In cotton gambling, find* that
Secretary Cheatham engaged In bucket
*hop transaction* for account of friends
and that hla conduct wa* reprehen
sible nnd should be censured.
TJie motive for the attack upon the
association's officers, they declnre,
spite on the part of the bucket shops
for the abolition of which there has
ben. a campaign waging In Georgia.
That Is a matter of no Importance. The
only thing to be considered Is the
truth of the charges mode ngalnst u
high officer of the association which
ha* undertaken .to represent the farm
ers of the South and to guard their
Interests unselfishly. It has not been
established that Mr. Cheatham made
Investments In cotton futures on his
own account, nor that he Involved
the association In qny way in his
transactions, but, from the point of the
nsnclatlon’s Interest, there can be no
palliation or excuse of his undertak
ing to speculate even vicariously in the
cotton market.
The association's usefulness will be
entirely destroyed once tho confidence
of the cotton farmers In It Is shaken,
and It Is to be feared that this Inci
dent will go for toward disintegrating
the organization, which has done much
for tho benefit of the cotton growers
of the South.
Send Richard Home.
From The Thomson Progress.
The Southern Cotton Association
should send Richard Cheatham back
to his Mississippi plantation. It will
have to do It If It values Its own ex
istence. It may be that all that .has.
been going on In the headquarters of
the association will not come to light,
but enough has already come to put
dn end to Dick’s days of usefulness.
Over his own signature he admits
that he has been speculating In cotton
futures and writing editorials against
It. It ts true that he says he was act
ing for other parties—a Mr. O'Grady
and a Mr. Lee—but he refuse* to r*.
veal the Identity of Mr. Lee.
In the eyes of the people of the
South he'has been condemned as un
worthy to occupy the position he holds,
and the association had better send
him homo. The farmers and business
men who compose the association are
not going to have a gang of cotton
gamblers In charge of their affairs,
and Harvle Jordan had better apply
the knife vigorously, or hts associa
tion will go to nieces like d bouse of
cards.
“Guilty” Was-Enough.
From The Columbia State.
The dispatch that tells of tho decls
Ion In the Cheatham case relates t^hat
the committee that found the secretary
of the cotton association guilty of spec
ulatlng In Its report “does not censure
him or make any recommendation."
Oh, well, what wa* the use? “Guilty'
was enough.
Should Resign at Once.
From The St. Matthews (8. C.) Com
mercial. -
Secretary Cheatham, of the Southern
Cotton Association, ran be of valuable
service to the members of the associa
tion by tending In hla resignation at
once.
Cheatham Had Better Hurry,
From the Brunswick New*.
Cheatham had better move before
the national committee gets hold of
him.

New York, Aug. 7.—The ••lid* Is down

“23," the hoodoo number, can be beaten.
Mr. Drake was In Canfield's after he

"Let’s Pee about this deadly number
nnyway." *

“I believe that you’re In earnest."
aid Mr. Drake to the smiling dealer
and walked over to another table,
played there without success, taking
"23" each time, and then with his re
maining cheeks, walked back to the
first table and again placed his checks

who had bought 34,000 worth of checks
had 34.000 In front of him.
"I was taught In my early years to
quit whenever I got even. Cash these
checks. Good night, "Twenty-three,"
and he walked back Into the restaurant.
The question as to what the services
of a doctor are worth has again come
to the front.
For five years’ medical, services-to th*
late William T. Rainey, the millionaire
oil magnate and horse owner, of Cleve
land, Dr. Samuel T. Bnnes, of this
city, wants the Rainey estate to pay
him 3^3.000. To enforce the payment.
Dr. Banes brought suit In the supreme
court against Hoy A. Rainey, son of
the deceased and executor of the 36,-
000,000 estate. Dr. Banes declares that
he has not been paid anything for his
treatment of the millionaire from Sep
tember, 1898, to September, 1903. H#
says he put In 100 days attending Mr.
Rainey.
This would, make the average charge
about $30.0 per visit. While 3300 a visit
seems, pretty high td a man who
is well, there are times when a man
would be willing to pay the right kind
of a doctor almost anything.
