The following lemon Is handed us iw:ih » sweet smile by th'- gifierl lady | 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 PiJO people read The Herald editor! al*. Many people have many minds. Ii Is the effort of The Herald to the best <>t Its shlllty to please all of Its [readers, and for this reason In Its I editorials to make the widest possible , selection of subjects. Kuril is writ j [lon to give pleasure In the reading j and at the same time to scatter some 'seeds that may hear good (rult tu the day a to come If any of thorn tall In this, the fault lias not In the ' effort, but to lbs way R was carrion out. No single subject can poas'hlv please all of a large circle of read ier*. Any subject that Is treated so] jus to meet the two requisites men j Honed above t* "good editorial mat Her " la not "The Drinking Gourd" ’ one of them? With our fair critic* permission we will make lemonade out of that j | lemon and drink her health and hap ' pines* out of the gourd. 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-' Posted tin* stale and false assertion Htal ;ho democratic party and WB. Hum J. Bryan, as one of its leaders. In opposing thr policy of Imperialism were guilty or provoking the Jnsur reel lon In the Philippines, No mat ter hy whom assorted, whether hy th; republican candidate tor president or ov the most reckless of his followers, this caiumnlnnus attempt to indict half the American nation deserves ip • most moat emphatic condemnation. Wluii else Is It then a charge that ill the opponents of Imperialism, demo crat* and republhans. are traitors to the country and gtilli.v ol all tho blood stud In the Philippines" This, to snV Hu least, !h a very convenient if a quite unscrupulous way ot shining a grave responsibility.

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.

Taft is making a fine cherry tree-and-hatchet pose, by saying he didn't catch any fish; but the people are naturally suspicious of a fisherman who won’t He.— Augusta Herald.

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.
