LEMONADE FOR A DRINKING
GOURD.
The following lemon Is handed us

| patngrapher of the EruaHWick Jour
] nal.
To prove the lack of good edi
torial matter, we |<oint to the col
, iinni arfleh- of the Augusta Her
ald on "The Drinking Gourd."
There Is no douche In the world
which can equal In coldness the par
alyxlngly chilling effect, of such a re
ception of an article to the production
of which had been devoted earnest
thought and the best efforts. It fs !
enough to knock all the atarch out of
a fellow and tempt him to seek oh- 1
llvlon In Lethe's water or In the flaw
ing howl. Both of these are almost
unattainable In Augusta at. this time j
owing to our double drouth. The
wa'er famine makes water searee anil
the little we have is 100 uninviting
ly muddy for drowning, and problbh
Hon has put the bowing howl behind
lock and key. Happily also our
equilibrium Is somewhat restored hy ■
noting that at least two of our ex
changes thought well enough of "The
Drinking Gourd" to present It to their
readers, one of them even without i
the customary credit, so thnt vanity
at one* suggests the old parable about
I easting pearls before swlue which will
I not appreciate them.
What fa proper editorial mnttet ? j
Politics, of course. An editorial prals !
j lug Bryan or lambasting Roosevelt
Is always In order In a democratic
paper. Then there are other subjects, ;
and always the Mormons to Jump on
when one Is In a had humor, feeling
like raking over somebody and afraid ;
to tackle a worse offender nearer 1
home. But Iho same subjects, no ,
mutter how appropriate and how
good, grow stale If served over and
over again, and when It I* a eas t
of writing three editorials each dev
with a double dose for Sunday sule
jecls life up! to grow scarce. This
rimy account for the editorial which
haa given offense to our fastidious
Ulster who perhaps never saw a drink
tug gourd, never quaffed sparkling
spring water from Its aromatic howl,
or si any rate has no sentimental j
recollection ot old lang syne awak j
sued by tfie sight of nn old time drink j
Ing gourd.
Why Isn't the drinking gourd a j
proper subject for an editorial? What I
Is an editorial hut a short lecture, j
prepared and printed to entertain and \
Instruct ? The editorial which does |
Ibis fulfills Its mission. The bettor
It dims this, the better does It mens |
lire up t* requirements. And the ertl
torlal which falls to entertain and
Instruct fall* of the purpose for
which It Is given valuable space.
Measured hy this standard la not
the alt Inking gourd a good subject?
A newspaper has a wide circle of
leader*. Probably not less (hail 40 -1

DROUTH IN THE APPALACHIAN
REGION.
The present summer and early fall j
have been a season of unusual dry
'weather throughout (his section
There was a plentiful rainfall durlitg ;
the spring and early summer, ami
then It ceased All tho rains attic,
lhat time, from the searoast to the
mounlalns, have beeu partial rains ;
or local showers Not once haa ther-
Peon during these months a genera: j
rain extending over this entire re
glou. And all localities suffered from
drouth, some more than other* ami
.m, le*«- but there was sufficient'
rainfall to grow a full crop In none
When the dog days set In it was I
hoped that the drouth would he Prok
en Usually the rainfall during doit
day* la quite heavy. It Is an o|tt j
weather saw that If It rain* on the I
Itrsl dog day It will rain each of
the succeeding forty dava. it rained 1
ion the ttrat dog day this year, and
pn hap* a little on succeeding dog j
days, hut barely Itttle sprinkles The,
old saving waa vended again that
all signs fail In dry weather" Tli '
dog day* have long since ended We
are muring the end of September i
and the drouth *atlH remain* un
broken
It i# on* of tha strangest pheuom j
ena In local nfttteorology that the
greatest flood in the Savannah river
j should have come in the midst of a
great drouth. For weeks before it
I came there had been scarcely any
j local rain. There hasn't been a drop
lof rain since it passed, nearly a
I month ago. There were Indeed some
j slight local showers a few days be-
I fore the flood, but these were very
lllght and covered only small areas
! It seems as if all the moisture which
'ordinarily Is distributed over th>
South Atlantic section during the
I summer was carried In the clouds to
wards the mountains and preclplfa'-
ed there. It rolled down to the sea
In a great flood, wrecking cities,
bridges and farms, a flood which rose
suddenly and fell almost as quickly
but. did not break the drouth.
Before the flood came the water
In the rivers and streams had reach
ed Its usual late summer low water
stage. For one or two mad days the
waters raged, surpassing all previous
high water records, and then they
fell and continued to fall, until now
the water Is lower than It Is ordinar
ily at this time of tho year. Th”
Savannah river haa ceased to bo nav-
Igable, except for very light draft
boats. There is a water famine over
all this seetlon which t* becoming
more snrjpiis every day. Wells ali
gning dry, springs are falling, tho dry
air is dust-laden —we are experienc
ing the distressing later part of a
severe drouth.
When will ft bo broken? The weath
erwlse have been predieting rain for
several days. Welcome clouds are
floating In the air. The'indications
are strong that refreshing ahowefs
will come soon and drive this dry
ness from the .-Hr which In the citv
Is becoming severely distressing on
account of the dust Ib can hold <n
suspense.
MORE AGAINST TAFT
As the day* pass and the presiden
tial campaign Is reaching Its climax
new forces of opposition continue to
rrystallze agulnst Mr. Taft, the re
publican nominee. To all the others
I* now added the weight of the anti
Imperialists, who see in Taft the cx
ponent are representative of milltar
Ism and colonialism, and are conse
quently Impelled to oppose him. And
while the democratic parly -is a parry
represents Bull imperialism, It must
not he forgotten that many hereto
toro steadfast republicans a'so ai
prominent antl-Imperiallsts.
The Philadelphia Record calls at
temion to tht*. Wllh all the re
spect that is due the presidential can
didate of a groat political party. It
says, forbearance is extremely diffi
cult when lie transcends the limit or
partisan tolerance. In his stumping
tour .Mr Taft has more than oner- tv-'

ter hy whom assorted, whether hy th;

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
I
Plucky Augusta.
The plucky Georgia city of Augus
•la in rweiying compliments from all
lover the country on the brave and
{undaunted manner In which it is ral
lying from its recent, severe misfor
tune and is working with renrfiMd
■energy and enthusiasm to make the
city a still greater one. Augusta did
not need the stimulus of calamity
to make It a plucky or progressive
j community, bu: since the late flood
its conduct has been such as to make
those qualities shine forth with more
[than usual resplendence.
We have been impressed with the
admirable spirit shown by the Au
pusta newspapers, which have preach
<d good cheer to the people of the
lofty and have set a good example
[by the manner In which they have
i treated the situation. The outside
[ world has a sort of general Idea that
the east Georgia city has practically
recovered from the effects of the flood
and things are In pretty much the
normal state there again, with the
exception of the operation of the cot-
I ton mills, hut this Is not the rase.
tThls Is because Augusta is not telling
j Its troubles In a megaphone voice
i to outsiders, hut Is quietly going
ahead getting its house in order.
It was casually published yester
day, for instance, that the street
{lights were burning the night before
-the first time in a month —and the
right certainly looked good to the
folks. However, it was simply a test
conducted by the lighting company
and the scintillating globes of p|ec
trie flames did not long retain their
i brightness.—Columbus Knquirer-Sun.
'
Merely a Georgia Sensation.
Tbe farmers' organization in the
'South will not be slow to repudiate
the "night ridprs" who, In a Geor
gia community, have warned operat-
I ors. of cotton gins not to gin cot
ton until the price reaches 12 cents.
The Southern farmers are generally
men of Irttelligence, and they know
lhat h resort to violence or threats
of violence to prevent the market
ing of eotton would utterly destroy
the sympathy of the business men
and the press, upon which their move
ment for better prices is In a large
[ measure dependent for success: Be-
I sides, there are comparatively few
i nit on farmers who would approve
of the lawless actions of the tobacco
(growers in Kentucky, and most of
them would be as prompt to demand
j that cotton growers' crimes be put
down as they would be that tobacco
j growers’ miscreancy be punished.
The probable explanation of the
| story from Kawrencevllle, Ga., is that
: a few wild and thoughtless youths
with a bent towards ruffianism have
[ been excited by reading the accounts
lof the outrages done in Kentucky
j and so have proceeded to post the ,
i threats of violence without authority
from or advice of any respectable or
ganization of farmers. In every com
j uiunity may be found a small number
of persons who need hut a flimsy ex
! ease to commit breaches of the peace
land invade the rights of others.
The night riders' disturbances in
Kentucky were confined to a small
territory—a few counties—and many i
months passed before energetic es j
forts were begun for their suppres- j
sion. The notion of such crimes be- |
Ing practiced in the cotton belt is, of ,
course, preposterous unless one would
entertain the possibility of a period .
of bloodshed and anarchy prevailing I
throughout about one-third of the
territory of the United States and the ;
calling out of the federal army and
the national guard of the states to
restore order. .
Nevertheless, the cotton farmers'
organizations should not Ignore the
opportunity to rebuke the young ruf
fians (or. perhaps, practical jokers) j
In Georgia, as the reports about them
in the newspapers are calculated to 1
embarrass legitimate and commend- j
able endeavors to sell their product
to advantage. Charleston News and j
Courier.
The Coming Augusta Fair.

Taft is making a fine cherry

Callsd by Their Family Name.
The Augusta Herald says: “In
Montclair, N. J., William Damm’s
horse ran away and injured a man
and a boy, while Mrs. Damm fainted
from fright. Seems like the whole
Damm family was Involved In this
catastrophe.” If the man and boy
were not too badly hurt to talk their
remarks doubtless included the name
of the family, that hurt them. —Meri

Poetic Feet of Poems.
Yes, Pauline, it is true that
poems have feet. And some of
them make you think that they

to inquire, do poets ever wash their

There are fields of cotton in

Political Moses and Aaron.
Senator Beveridge, who seems to
be fond of Biblical allusions, says
that Bryan is only an Aaron and that
Taft Is the real Moses to lead us
through the wilderness. To this has
been made the cruel retort, that
"Taft will no more rearh the White
House than Moses reached the Prom
ised I-and.” —Savannah Press.
Republicans for Bryan.
"We're republicans, but we're with
you,’ has been the shout that has
greeted Bryan at many stopping
places in the West. If the promises
hold good on election day there will
he some surprises when the returns
come in.—Americus Times-Recorder.
Another New Party.
And now comes Col. Sidney C.
Tapp who deposes and saith he is
going to organize a national party
and get elected president. Cant see
but that he is as apt to succeed at
tho business as others who are try
ing the job.—Oglethorpe Echo.
Fate of Political Bedfellows,
The Atlanta Journal said last Sun
day that Tom Watson was the worst
fo e democracy ever had. Yet, two
years ago Editor Gray could find no
words in the dictionary with suffici
ent eclat to praise Tom Watson. Oh.
consistency, what a jewel thou art —
