CONSERVATIVES IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA. The people of Georgia are politically divided Into two claaaea in their po- Ulical convictions one great group repreaetits ihc progressive element ol the party the other represent* the conaerxative group. Three group* have been represented in ihe con teat a between Hoke Hmith gnd Joe Brown. They were represent* gentetl in the Senatorial ram in ihe Candida, y of Gov, Hinton on one aide popraionting th<* ron*fn hllvm, hho Hardwick and Felder on the othu aide rei»rcacnting the itrogreaaivr wing of the party In Bitch a con teat, it whb confidently predicted that will, the progreealve vote divided between Hardwick and Felder that Slaton would win. Hut the return* ahow that Slaton got shout one-third of the Miles caat —acme 51,000 out of a total of nearly 170.000. The boaat of the Slaton managers wa* that he waa the only candidate run ning In every county of the elate. In view of thfee figures It la absurd to claim that Stator represents the pop lar choice of the people. In a aecond primary between Sla ton and Hardwick, which ought to be the law In Georgia, there la no doubt hut that Slaton would be derisively detested by Hardwick and the pro gressive vote of Ihe state. We arc inclined to think thia la the view the State Contention ia going to lake of the matter. Certainly-If the progres sive wing of the party controls tin, state convention, ns seems certain by the vote cast against Slaton, they will not make the mistake of nomina ting a candidate who does not repre sent the progressive sentiment of the. State. H the progressive wing of the party controls the stale convention, they will nominate a progressive candidate (or the U. 8 Senate Georgia already 'vgs one progressive Senator In Wash ington and the stale has decided to keep him there. It is the logical thing to send another progressive represen tative to the Senate not to send a eonoervativ* who will nullify Ihe ef forts of the progressive Senstor wo already have in Washington POLITICS THE BANE OF GEOR GIA.

The beginning of the present campaign was mild enough, and continued so for some time; the people of the atate were engrossed lit tlMIr own business affair* the farm er* tilling the soil and performing all work Incident to securing a bounltiul harvest the business men were pay ing strict attention to their Interests; the worker* were diligently following their various trade* and It teemed a* though the old dreaded factional lam would not be Injected Into the campaign which rloeed yeeterdey. However, someone threw a c.iunk of tnud—and the fight was on The Untah wras not aa marked for its vle iotunees as has been the case in Nffl. former campaigns, hut It was too bad at that, and It Is to be hoped that the day will aoon come In Geor gia when business will not be dam aged by such deplorable factional pol itic* In connection with the result* of the recant contest It Is refreshing end significant tn note that.

France Is well supplied with rail ways. hut they have been planned like everything in France, on the *gfUal system with the center in Paris. Practically everything mus; pass through Paris to get to the eastern frontier. The Germans can get there first and they know it. The army has already almost the whole benefit of the great military hill of last year. In the mailer of preparation for war the Germans have a good conscience. They know they have done their best and that knowledge gives them the confidence it rarely fails to bestow.

Watching the street demonstrations In favor of Austria, one could not but remember "Mafeklng Night” in Don don. The singing and shouting In Berlin was better ordered than In London, instead of being scattered in loose skirmishing formation all over the town, the “Maffickers” concentrat ed In "Unter-den-ldnden,” where the marching thousands kept the leava* of the famous lindens quivering with the vehemence of their martial music. On such nights the huge mAHern cases of Berlin are a sight worth see ing. crammed as they are sure to be with enthusiastic thousands singing the patriotic and soldier songs which every German knows by heart, every mand standing up to do honor to the National Anthem and "Deutschland Aber Alles" One must do these people the Jus tice to admit that they can be patriot ic without becoming aggressive The writer went about among the demon strating throngs with a party of mixed nationality which spoke more French than any other language and. although many quick glances were turned In our direction, no one offered to mo lest u* even to the extent of an un friendly cry. CHE AUGUSTA HERALO. AUGUSTA. GA. " GATHERING THE IB NEWS; NEWSPAPERS FACE HARD TASK (From the Fourth Estate.) The hardest t«Bk that'the newspapers *>f America ever faced is now confronting them—that of obtaining authentic infor mation of the war in Kurope. It is evi dent from the general attitude of gov ernments in recent wars that the trials of the war correspondent are to he many and that every step will be taken to block the accomplishment of his task of gathering the news. The warring governments in Europe have already put in effect the strictest censorship on news and since actual hos tilities have begun haVdly a line of real news has reached America that nas no. been based on report. Correspondents who have ventured Into war territory have met all sorts of ob stacles. aml in some cases they have been placed under arrest. Even ia neut Val Italy the censor holds control of everything that is filed lor cabling. The Jaondon Chronicle’s correspondent lasted for two days and was expelKa. The Telegraph’s correspondent managed to get to Semlin. only to be told to pack hack to Vienna. The express failed to get a man there because ol the discouraging reporis ot ae difficulties placed in the way of re porters, and is holding its principal cor respondent at Athens. Even the capitals of Europe corre spondents are practically useless. One leondon newspaper proprietor said: “1 have a good man in Berlin, but all he has done is to telegraph for gold ’ “I think generally, the London news papers will husband their resources fir the present,” another said. “Newspa pers that send their special corespond ents into the field will court bankruptcy. They will expend large sums and get no vajuuneratton.” Tensors took charge of all the Gr-man • able offices in the kingdom ounday night. All code messages were pronib ited, even to Austria. Telephonic com munication with the continent was en ftrely stopped. The cutting of direct cables with Ger mane has added much to the task of getting news to this country. The As sociated Press and other news services received its last direct message from Germany at 1 p. m. Wednesday. The French war office has forbidden the publication of any news referring to the wgr or to the movement of troops in any way which is not communicated by the press bureau which has been organ ized by the ministry of war. The French Depending on Artillery to Overthrow Germany More Than Any Arm They Belive the Creusot is Immensely Superior to the Krupp Gun, a Duplicate of Which is Used in the United States Army. In Speed of Fire the Difference is Impressive. The Former Gun Will Throw Thirty Shells a Minute to the Other’s Twelve. Pari*. —The French are depending on their artillery to overthrow the German* more than any other arm of the service. They believe the Oreusot is Immensely superior to the Krupp gun. a duplicate of which Is used r. the Vntted State* army. In speed of fire the difference is Impressive. The Oreusot will throw thirty sheila a minute to the Krupp's twelve. This la because the German shell is thrust into the breech by hand and the French operation is almost entirely mechanical. The Oreusot Shell is laid In a wide steel slide be hind the breech and, after firing, the ejector throw# the shell well clear of the gun. Moreover, the Oreusot, 75 mm., doe* not "unpolnf Itself even when work ed at high speed. The Krupp pivots on a (enter - directly over the The bne of the train and th# line of recoil are different, except whrn shooting straight ahead. So after six rounds the Krupp must be resighted. No Rasighting. The Oreusot pivots on the "spade" —that part of the trail which touches the ground and freighting 1# unneces sary. The gun buries Itself more firm ly as tt la fired.

The Associated Press is depending mostly on its regular staff in covering tile war news. The men are ail at strate gic points. More men have been added where it has been necessary.

He calls out the direction and distance. Automatic. Just hefore the shell reaches the breech preparatory to firing, the cor rect distance Is punched through fig ures stamped on the rim. The marks cause the mechanism automatically to aim the gun, The gun fire does not strike in the ranks of the enemy but Is aimed above thertr. The shell is timed so that It hursts forty-five feet from the ground and releases a show er of small bullets which piur.ge down ward.
