POPULAR JURIES JUDGING RAILROADS.
Tbe progress of tho suits in tbe case of last summer’s picnic ’party
against the Central and Atlanta aud West Point railroads would not
indicate the existence of any particular prejudice against the railroads on
lowed in the wake of tbe war upon tbe fortunes of the Republican part}’.
Upon tho bosom of sectionalism and of military strife they have held fast
to the party that freed the slaves and saved the government. Twenty-seven
years have held them fast to this old party, which simply prospered upon
tbe part of that portion of the public which ma-c* up the petit Juries of ^ctionalism and strife. But these men who were born of the faith and of j

"White Blood."
Whom that la Baptist does not know
Dr. Henry M. Wharton?
And whom, for that matter. Baptist
or no Baptist, does not know and love
this large and vital evangelist, this
wholesome and effective preacher, this
philosopher of events and this strong,
wholesome Southern i>ersonallty
which has for so long a time done
its great and effective work In the
Southern church?
Dr. Wharton's latest achievement
in the world of letters is a strong
and Interesting novel which, under
the title of "White Blood,” ia a story
of the South which establishes In Its
strong and earnest pages the suprem
acy of white blood and tho unconquer
able future of the Saxon race.
Few men have been better situated
than Dr. Wharton to know and to
study the negro. Whether as a boy
upon his own Virginia plantation, as
a soldier In the Confederate armies,
at bearing a part in the struggle of
i the heroic reconstruction, or at a phil
osopher In this later day, and above
ail things a preacher both to white
and to negro people In the 8outh, Dr.
Wharton baa had at least tbe rare
equipment of experience for his work.
"White Blood” la not so flery and
passionate a novel aa "The Clans
man." but it will doubtless make
much larger and more wholesome im
pression upon the people outsido of
the South In a strong, brave and hon
est way. It wraps around vivid In
cidents and tender love story the
great truth which tne author desires
to Impress, that in this Southern
country both the Interest of the white
man and tbe Interest of the negro
Jointly demand that the Caucasian
shall rule and direct tbe civilisation
upon which the prosperity of both
depends. Dr. Wharton has told hi*
story vividly, and in many cases pow
erfully. and we feel sure that bis
thousands of friends In Dials will be
delighted to read this creation of bit
fancy upon the fabric of his experi
ence and philosophy.
A large lot of elementary slush has
been sent from New York to Atlanta
relating to the Hearst campaign and
Its results. Part of this Is truckling,
aad part sheer ignorance. This much
Is clear about the New York cam
paign. It was fought upon a great
platform of simple, vital principles. It
was fought bravely, cloarly and pow
erfully. Such principles never die, nor
do such advocates go down to burial
until their work Is done. Hearst will
live and hls principles will triumph.
16,040 against the roads. StireIy%o man who reads there verdicts rendered
by, jurors living within the environment of the parties hilled and injured,
will derive the impression that the railroad could not get justice or that
there was an unfair spirit toward the corporation In the dispensation of
equity by the people and the law.
The fact is that there is no prejudice againit the railroad except that
which the railroad makep. In sections of the country through which thesa
great transportation lines jiass, the people In their attitude toward tho rail
roads redact most accurately and promptly the exact attitude of the rail
roads toward them.
If the railroad Is kind, accommodating, and helpful to the people
of the community through which It passes; If it Is not disagreeable In tbe
matter of aide tracks and depots and the stopping of trains upon serious
emergencies—If It is not arrogant and dictatorial in Ith attitude toward the
traveling public; If It Is not unfair and extortionate In the rates of freight—
why the people who live along these lines entertain for the corporations a
feeling aa friendly as that which they carry Cor each othfer They are al
ways willing to oblige the railroads; they are always willing to do them
Justice. They have lost long since the class distinction which made any
countryman ready to render a verdict against the railroad because he
thought the railroad bad the moat money'or tbe largest purse.
That class of countrymen no longer live, at least In this good state of
Georgia. They are a reading, thinking, and a prosperous people. And they
are fair and honorable, and they can weigh law, evidence and equity In a
case against the railroad just as welt as they could a case against one of
their own number. ‘ ,
Leave tho people'* minds unclouded by Injustice and unlrritated by arro
gance and oppression and the people are amiable and always fair. We know
railroad presidents In this state who are as popular with the country peo
ple through whom they travel as any one of their fellow citizens In the
several counties. And wo know railroad presidents whose manners and
whose niothods are so arrogant that It does Indeed become n serious trial
to a red-blooded human being to be fair and kind to such men or to the
interests which they represent.
Neither In railroads nor in individual relations '.doe* the Golden Rule
fail to do Its beautiful and perfect work. "Do unto others at you would
that others should do unto you," applies aa well to a railroad president aa
to a Sunday school' superintendent, and the kind words which never die
when joined to kind deed* that shall always live, make up the beat and
most statesmanlike policy which a corporation president can put Into elo
cution among a people who are Inherently fair and just and kind.
We trust that no unfair or unrighteous verdict may be rendered against
the corporation in these Important cases. We trust that no man who swears
upon the Book will forget In the jury box his obligation to deal without
prejudlco and without discrimination. And we commend both to corpora
tion and to counties, to plutocratic syndicates and to a pulsing people, that
kindneea and fairness nnd Justlco are tbe foundation stones of righteous
ness nnd the solid bulwark of a permanent prosperity.

WHERE DOES DEMOCRACY STAND?
After the storm of the ballots In the Empire State of tho North,
Democracy may well begin to dotermlne where it stands, what It stands
for, and who stands with It.
Certain It Is, that never In our political history have party ties set
so lightly upon tho political consciences of suffragists in tbe republic.
It is in truth and In fact the most fearless and most independent ago of
thinking that our politics hare over known.
Iicarst and Hughes in Now York hold off from the hustings on which
they harassed tholr issues, all suggestions of national politics or of strict
party alignment. The greatest state In the Union In the greatest contest
in its history fought out the battle upon lines of policy and conviction
rutber than upou lines of partisanship and party conviction. Fifty per
cent of tho men who voted for Hearst In tho last election were Republicans.
Forty per cent of the men who voted for Hughos In tho last eloctlon were
Democrats, and tbeso men voted not along traditional llnea of party nor by
ediot of caucuses or convention, but rather by tho strict lines of convic
tion In the disposition of their ballots. It was an epochal election In the
history of the republic.
Let us consider the conditions as they appeared in New York and after
ward aa they look In other portion* of tho republic. Mr. Hearst was the
candidate of the regular Democratic state convention at Buffalo. He
received nearly two-thlrda If not three-fourth* of the vote of that conven
tion. When he went before the public of New York for votes, the Demo
cratic mayor of New York was against him Tho Democratic leader of
Brooklyn. In Kings county,- was against him. Every corporate Domocret
In the city and state was against him, and bo fought against an array of
Democrats almost aa large and almost aa Influential as tho Ropubllcan* who
opposed him. Not a Democratic senator of the United 8tates declared In hls
favor. Scarcely a handful of the Democratic congressmen of the federal
congress wore on hls side of the question. And this largest and boat and
bravest and most consistent of modern Democrats fought tho bravest battle
of modern timoa along tbe clearest principles of Democracy that hare been
presented to an electorate for thirty years, with a party divided absolutely
In half and with Ida support dependent as much on the Republicans as the
Democrats of tbe Empire State.
So with hla successful antagonist. True It Is that the Republican pres
ident and his cabinet wore In favor of Mr. Hughes. True it I* the
senators and congressmen of hls own party were on hla aid*. But 60 per
cent of tho Lincoln Republican* of New York ranked themulrea under the
banner of the popular advocate who had been chosen at the Buffalo con
vention. Result: Hughes, the Republican, la elected governor. Chanler,
tho Democrat, Is elected lieutenant governor. The entire Democratic ticket
outside of governor goes into office.
Take the case of William Jonnlnga Bryan. He comes home from Europe
In tho thrilling triumph of a great commoner—tho Idol and leader of hla
party. Every state of tho republic pulses iu welcome to tho wandorer
from a foreign shore and the great man Is received In Madison Square
by Democrats from Nebraska, New England, and New York, from Nevada,
from California and from Connecticut, from Carolina and from Maine. And
yet when he pronounces hts views upon public questions nearly every lead
ing Democrat of tho country rashes Into opposing type against him. The
leaders of the Democratic minority In congress rash to the other side. Two-
thirds of the men of hls party who have ruled its affairs for a dozen
years are at this time-crusading against hls central doctrine. Bryan, of
Nebraska, has broached sentiments which seem to bo In oppoeltlon to al
most four-fifths of the leading voice* who hare made the policies and the
platforms of his party for a quarter of a century.
Where, then, stands our Democracy in the midst of these differences and
contentions? What are the things in which we consistently and coher
ently believe? What are tbe things which we support, and where stands the
majority of a once great party In the midst of the questions which divide us
so widely and split us so hopelessly as these Issues of today?
Coo auy man escape the conrictlou that the Democratic party is wider
spilt today In its varying faction* than the division which sunders the party
of Jefferson and the party of Hamilton? We are nnlted only in tradition
and absolutely divided in conviction and In economic policies. There has
grown up lu the republic a great mass of corporate Democrats. Wealth
and vested interests and individual Investments hare Influenced their
feeling aud their convictions until they are today no longer honest and un
broken advocates of tbe party of Jefferson and Jackson. They are loath be
yond expression to leave the party of their fathers—ihe organisation for
which their ancestors fought on many a political field, and won and lost In
many a battle of conviction. They are simply hugging the shadow from
which the substance Is gone. These men In the high and imperial domina
tion of the pocket book have step by step drifted Into sympathy and af
filiation with the moueyed Interests of the country. They stand, whether
they know it or not, among tbe privileged few. They are. whether they
confess It or not, members of the party of the privileged rich. Their inter
ests depend upon special privileges to the few rather than upon equal rights
to all; and hanging by the mere hopeless thread of history and tradition,
they are externally and seemingly loyal to a party to which they are in fact
traitors in orery honest conviction and In- every political pulse of their
business and professional lives.
Upon tbe other hand, there are thousands of Republicans who have fol-
rather than to the prosperity of the few. Lincoln Republicans almost to
man today are Democrats in creed and in principle. Here, then.-we havi
the absolute anomaly of two great parties holding in their ranks upon tho
mere basis of sentiment and tradition, loyal pnen who are apostates and
traitors to the creeds which they protest. They do not bcliero the things
their fathers believed, and are not loyal to tye party for which tin-dr fa
there fought.
How shall we separate them from that body aud set them straight in
the lines of their true convictions? We cannot prosper as a party under
the handicap which tho convictions and interests of these sincere but in
consistent men entail upon the platforms and policies of our party. Wo
cannot, as a party, be.half fish and half fowl, a trimming, straddling organ
isation, splitting onr legs in twain in the effort to cover the impossible
range of Interest and creed covered by tho unassimilable dements of the
party. Can Belmont and Bryan ever really agree upon a platform? Can
Hearst and Bynn fight cheerfully under the same banner? Year by year wo
are throttled as Democrats Is the virile life and utterances of a party or the
people, by the restraining power and influence of these corporation Dem
ocrats who still cling to the name of our party. That was tho meaning
of the Parker fiasco of 1906. The idea of hoping to lead a people's
party under a trust favorite to victor}-! It dhnnot be done,' and every po
litical straddle, every spurioui makeshift of the next two decades will bo
rejected by our honest people at the polls.
We need not*go through the form of an election unless we can go be
fore the people upon a straight, clean platform of definite and clear-cut
Democracy—a Democracy without tho alloy of syndicates or the smell of
the trusts.
Onss more we say without hesitation that the honest thing tor these
selfish corporation Democrats to-do la to go right along with tho Repub
lican party to which they belong. We want them to go. -We need their
room more than their company. We can never win while we share power
with these men.. We can win without them. Let the Ryans and the Bel
monts and the McCarrens go right along.
And when they are gone, we will make room on the benches for a great
boat of Lincoln Republicans who will pack the benches, and with a better
and more genuine Democracy than wo have known in twenty years, we will
go before the country In a straight and simple platform and sweep the ballot
boxes from Penobscot to Pensacola.

Macon, Oa., Nov. 11.—According to
evidence of several non-union negro
switchmen and cor couplers given yea-
terday In police court, several of the
striking negro employees of the Cen

Huntsville, Ala., Nov. tl.—A slight

and found tho town practically with
out coal. The dealers got in a few cars
before the close of the day and be
lieve they will be able to keep sufficient

car shortage and other conditions of
this character has caused the situa
tion to be serious here for several
weeks. There was a slight snow fall
yesterday.

Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. IS.—The

8pectel to Tho Georgian.
Anniston, Ala., Nov. 18.—Charlie
Gannaway. the negro who shot nnd
fatally wounded Dave I .owe, a white
rarmer. at Eulaton on Saturday after
noon, has been arrested and lodged In
the county JaU here by George Haw
kins, another negro of the same neigh
borhood.
This Is the first time in the history
of Alabama and possibly in tho South,
where a negro was arrested by a mem
ber of hts own race after shooting a
white man. The arrest was effected
early Sunday morning after Deputy
Sheriff I-eOrande and a poase of ettt-
sens had given up the search for the
fugitive. Hawkins discovered the
criminal hiding in a com field and
after considerable difficulty secured hls
gun and marched him to prison.

that four-fifths of the adult males in
Massachusetts were disfranchised be
cause of inability to participate in the
Lord's Supper.
If a Pharisee of the time when Pharl.
ealem was In the Bloom of Its bigotry
and unreason could have been set down
In the Boston of the year A. D. 1660
he would probably have felt the the
ocracy of old Jerusalem was a tame
affair in comparison with that of the
New England town.
The Wlnthrops, Cottons and Daven
ports had everything their own way,
and thoeo who were not willing to bow
down to them ns the representatives of
God on earth had no political rights or
social standing.
Many of tne disfranchised, tired of
being nobodles, struck out through the
wilderness and founded other states.
Some went to Rhodo Island, others to
Connecticut and elsewhere, but othere
still remained at home, biding their
time, waiting for the opportunity when
they might be able to win, upon the
soil of the old commonwealth, the
rights which belonged to them. Some
where around the year 1660 a com
promise was reached between the "Ins"
and tho "Outs." by which the latter, or
such of them as had been baptised and
that led “upright and decorous lives,"
were admitted to the church and to full
political rights, though not to a first-
class religious standing
Such ■ was the so-called "Halfway
Covenant," one of tho most Illogical
and Inconsistent conventions ever
drawn up.
As might have been expected, the
"Halfway Covenant" led to the blttereat
controversy between the ministers und
congregations, some taking one side
and some the other.
It was about the year 1669, and
the First Church of Boston was looking
for a minister. The members let It
be understood that they were solidly
opposed to the "Halway Covenant,"
and as a mark of the stalwart charac
ter of their religion called to the pas
torate of the church the Rev. John Da
venport, of New Haven, a “theocrat of
extreme type.”
The railing of Mr. Davenport was the
beginning of organized liberalism In
Mossaehusetts. The advocates of the
"Hallway Covenant" seceded from the
First church and formed themselves
Intot a society which they called the
'Third Church in Boston." Their meet
ing house became known ae the "South
Church." from the part of the city In
which it was located. Later on an
other church in the neighborhood took
the name of the '’New South," where
upon the church of the secedere began
to be called the “Old South."
In 1~19, upon the site of the old
meeting house erected In 1669, tvos
reared the present celebrated struc
ture, "a building,” as Flsko well re
marks." with a 'grander history than
any other on the American continent,
unless it be that other plain brick
building in Philadelphia where the
Declaration of Independence was
adopted and the Federal constitution
framed."

New York, Nov. 11.—Figures given
out today by the government show
that if the precious stones imported
into the United States during the past
year were divided evenly among the
country's voting population every man
whom the constitution permitted to
cast a ballot would wear a diamond r.n
eighth of a karat in weight or (oinr
other precious Jewel of equal value.
Statistics compiled at the customs
house for the first ten months of the
fiscal year up today show tho assessed
worth of these Jowels to be more than
139,206,690, which Is eight times greater
than duriug the same period In 1690.
The total cost of stones brought to
this country In ten years is more then
1310,090,000, on average expenditures of
610 for each voter.
Notwithstanding the quality of dia
monds on the markets of London and
Inferior to those of a dozen years ago,

Rivalry of the women of the "650"
In the wearing of gorgeous evening
wraps has gone so far that each new

all former triumphs of the dressmak
ers.
Ire. George Gould seems for the mo.
Jit to hold the prize. She appeared
the other evening wearing a wrap of
finest white cloth, hung In curious ar
tistically draped fotde, somewhat Gre
cian in effect. The enormous sleeves
were of chiffon, cut all in one piece,
but cleverly manipulated to produce the
semblance of a trio of puffs. The yoke
was of duchease laco, which also
formed an underfacing down In the
•Idee, the ermine lining showing onlv
when tho wrap was thrown back, it
was finished with curiously twlstm
white silk cord and seed pearls.
Views of divorce which an English
clergyman has Just expressed have
drawn high encomiums from sundry dl
voi ced women in town who have grown
reticent about their ages and have
given up having birthday parties
“tVe ought to have tho divorce law
that was enforced In ancient Greece"
the preacher said. "If a certain old
Greek clause were tacked to every
separation I am persuaded that di
vorces will fall off 60 to 70 per cent
This law was that when a man got a
divorce he could not, under any cir
cumstances, marry another woman
younger than hls farmer wife. How
many divorces would be nipped in the
bud then?"
