CHAIRMAN GRIGGS TALKS.
Interesting Political Bits From Con-
gressional Campaign Headquart-

Washington, Sept 24.-"President
Roosevelt is our strongest speaker in
the field" This was the smiling re-
mark of Chairman James M. Griggs
of the Democratic Congressional Cam
paign Committee when asked to-day
what he thought of the Presidents
Cincinnati speech in which the tariff
question as it relates to trusts was
dwelt on at length.
THE President is crystalIizing the
popular belief which is Just at this
time electrifying the minds of the
people OF this country that the trusts
should be regulated. At the same
Tune that the President is crystalliz-
ing this belief, he is telling the people,
IN almost direct language, that they
can expect nothing from his party
IN the way of remedial legislation. at
least not for years.
with this in mind, the people will
realize that the Democratic party is
the party, and the only party ready
for action now. There is absolutely
no ground for the Presidents warn
ing that the Democratic party would
destroy both the trusts that do i'll
and the trusts that do good. as he
terms them, as well as the general
prosperity of the country The Dem
ocratic party will be Just as careful
IN administering it's trust medicine as
the Republican party can be. We shall
neither destroy the business interests
OF the country nor injure the wage
eafners. We are as patriotic as the
Republican party, and we are not on
posed to vested rights or to propertv
as such. We simply favor giving
every man an equal chance in the race
for life, and wherever the tariff shell
tiers the trusts, as we know il does
we propose to so modify it as To ren,3
edy the evil.
THE President admits that the re-
moval OF the tariff from some Of The
trust products that do i'll might be a
remedy \ The people know that this
would be a remedy, and the more the
president talks along these lines. the
better VIII the Democrats be satisfied .,

That is the whole process, explained
briefly, as employed in the factory of
the Standard Candy Company on New
street, west of West Broad This is
one of the smaller industries of Sa-
vannah that has for years been max
ing dividends for the stockholders and
has steadily grown until it is an ap-
preciated factor in the commercial life
of the city.
The company began work in 1897
with capital of $4,000, on the Bay, In
1900 1t moved to its present quarters.
At first it used the vacuum cookers.
but now it has the continuous cooker
that makes the output so much larger
and of SO much finer appearance. 1t
is the only machine of its kind in the
city and will be for some time to come,
as this company has the exclusive right

made, but this includes every variety
or style, flavor and color, including the
widely used peanut candy. There are.
all told, thirty-hve people employed.
inclusive of the girls who do the wrap
ping, and the salary turned loose in
Savannah yearly is about $4,000. The
output is between a million and mill
lion and half pounds yearly, vary
ing according to seasons, good crop
year seeing much more candy used
than when the yield from the soil has
been poor. Work goes on constantly,
and the product is shipped to the job
bers, the company not having any di-
rect dealings with the retailers.
The concern is purely local, and has
been built up by Savannah money and
savannah brains. In a locality where
there are several factories scattered

FLORIDA.
TO RESTRAIN BOND ISSUE.

Sparkman & Carter, at Tampa, as
attorneys for Hon. w. B. Henderson
and Maj. Charles Wright, have ap-
piled to the Circuit Court for a tenn
porary injunction restraining the
Board of County Commissioners from
proceeding with the issue and sale of
the 100000 of county bonds to Sea-
songod & Mayer of Cincinnati, or their
agent The action was not unexpect-
ed, as there have been rumors current
and predictions made for several days
that such action was likely to be tax
en-, but no suggestion had been pre-
viously made as to who would take the
action. This action puts a summary
stop to the negotiations for the sale of
the bonds, and the proceedings will be
watched with intense interest in all
parts of the county.

gether, and Lyons is said to have ap-
preached Coleman, with hai hends in
his pocket. as if he intended stabbing
him. Coleman retaliated by drawing
his knife quickly, and stabbing his an

ANOTHER SAMPLE OF HIS
 FRIENDSHIP.

Governor Johnston had an interview in yesterdays Birmingham Age-Herald from which is taken this extract:
 The stock and trade of the opposition speakers is that l opposed the Constitu- tlon and it is up again for ratification How often is it to be ratified? Consider ing that 5000 white Democrats voted against it. and that 1t got It's majorities in the black belt. it would not seem to be very potent issue, and it looks like these orators ought to be frank enough with the people to tell them that I had an nounced my purpose to accept and carry out the Constitution in good faith and that 1t could only be amended or changed by direct vote of the people.
 It Is strange that any man who pro- fesses to have any information whatever would make such assertions and doubly strange to come from a man seeking A third term in the Governors office The total vote against ratification was only S1,7S4 instead of 5000. Of this opposition vote many thousands were cast by ne- groes in the counties of Autauga. Bibb. Butler. Calhoun. Choctaw, Coffee, Col bert, Conecuh. Coosa Covington. Crea- shaw, Dale, EsCambia, F.towah Henry Jackson, Lee. Lowndes Madison. Nor gan, Pike. Randolph, St Clair Shelby. Tallapoosa. Talladega. Tuscaloosa, Walk CT. There were negro votes cast against it in many other counti2s and yet Cover nor Johnston says the opposition vote WAS cast solely by white men. The vote of the thirteen black belt counties could he left out altogether and the Constitution would still have been ratified by the vote of the rest of the State. That the black belt voted solidIy for it is true but the negro vote cast against it in other parts of the State was almost as large as the vote cast in the black belt. The Constitution was voted for by an overwhelming majority of the white men of Alab bama and in spite of the tremendous negro vote cast against it and of all the strength that Govern 1r Johnston could bring to bear for its de- feat.
 Governor Johnston is persistent in seek ing to undermine confidence in the new Constitution by the false charge that it was counted in by illegal negro votes in the black belt. How can any friend of the Constitution think of voting for a man who will make such base and un- founded charge.

 JOHNSTON'S CLAIMS
Are Not Justified by the Facts

Are Not Justified by the Facts
 Ashville Ala, Aug. 17, lso2 Editor The Advertiser:
 A special from this place to The Blrm- insham AgeHerald of Saturday was Tn these words:
 "Ashville. Aug. 15-(SpecialD-W l.. Martin spoke to a god size audience at the court house here yesterday in the ln- terest of ex-Governor Johnston Ills speech was very conservative several ladies were in attendance"
 Personally the ex-Attorney General en- joys the good will and respect ot all who know him in our community and II IS no reflection on him to give the exact facts as to that meeting. There was plenty of notice of the meeting for posters had been out for several days. At the expect ed hour for speaking the bell rang ana every body town could hear 1t. There were some country people in town drawn by the meeting of the Commissioners Court. but there was no answer to that bell ringing except by three Johnston men. Of course MT. Martin would not have spoken under the circumstances. Some Jelks men got up small crowd, which made total of about fifty and a few ladies and then Mir Martin made a conservative speech. The political stand ing of the men present was twenty-three Jelks Democrats five Republicans, and seventeen Populists, supporters or John- ston.
 There are the facts. no matter how much Johnstn men and papers may claim to the contrary Judging by what took place here we are prepared to be- iieve that most of the claims for big Johnston rallies are in the imagination

A PREHISTORIC FIND.

Recent alleged discoveries in Kansas again bring us face to face with the oft recurring contention as to the age of human beings on earth and especially as to the length of time this continent has been inhabited. This impetus was caused by the finding in Kansas of hu- man remains. which it is claimed be- long to the pre-glacial age. Professor Long, of the Kansas City Museum, has opinion that they belonged to a man who lived 35,oOO years ago. Other scientists are cutting into the discussion, with the natural result that they differ widely in their estimates.
 As a matter of course this find, as- will bring forward no end of discussion from learned scientists. and equally as a matter of course there will be such a diversity of opinion as is always brought out when a subject comes up about which it Is impossible to produce absolute proof. Just such causes of con- tention are continually coming up. A skeleton. or portion of a skeleton, is ex- humed from some deposit which bears indications of immense age. This age is calculated from tho depth or character of the soi rocks, or other material above the skeleton. and of course a great deal of guess work naturally en- ters into the calculation. and 1t Is equal ly natural that different scientists. work ing on different lines and from different starting points, will differ very much in tkeir estimates of the age of the find This diversity of opinion is not so much to be wondered at when we con- slider how largely the element of guess work really enters into all such calcu- lations. Earthly and mineral deposit may accumulate faster at one place than at another and in some cases floods, earth quakes and other unusual occurrences may cause a much deeper accumulation than would be found at another place. These and various other causes unite to make 1t difficult or impossible to do any thing more than guess al the time which may have elapsed since a skeleton began its existence.
 It is claimed by scientists that indubit- able an incontrovertible evidences of the existence of prehistoric man in Europe have been secured and preserved but that it has not yet been accomp- lished in this country. This may be true, on both counts, and it may also be true that the lacking evidence for this conti- nent will be found in the Kansas case, but we may be excused for remaining sceptical for the present. There are too many loopholes for error for us to give full credence to the claims made in this case until something much more definite is forthcoming. And on this subject. 1t is not amiss to quote something in con nection with the experience of Prof. William J. Holmes. as follows:
 A skull has been dug out of the earth and many experts testified that 1t was that of the glacial man Many evidences were present to prove this. most rigid comparison with the skull of a Digger Indian, which had been secured from an abandoned graveyard. in the West the conclusion was pretty generally reached that the bones were those of a man of that race.
 And so it may be proven that this lat est pre-glacial man was modern Dig ger,

The Jelks organs and spoilers keep on bowling that Johnston is in favor of the negro, but not one of them have a word to say about Governor William Dorsey Jelks appointing nigger notary publics, and that, too, in places where white men live. Within the last two months he has appointed nigger notaries in Mobile Bir- mingham, New Decatur Tuskegee and if some Of the Jelks men want their names they can have them-Bessemer Workman.
 It is true that Governor Jelks has ap- pointed negroes to be notary public, but it is further true that in every instance they were reappointed, their original ap- pointment having been made by Cover nor Johnston. Some instances are given in a letter elsewhere by a staff corres- pondent from Birmingham which ought to be a complete answer to this cam paign story. and stop it's further use, as it is shown to be entirely without force and unfair and unjust.

DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL.

he American Newspaper Directory uses cer- saIi signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole field of newspaperdom which comes under it's notice. and one of these signs is the mystic symbol G0l denoting golden" which stands for high quality. and is thus explained:
 Advertisers value this paper more for the class and quality of its circulation than for ths mere number of copies printed"
 Such papers are credited with a single sym bol; but there is a higher grade. according to this standard authority. which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL loo to describe adequately their standing
 The Adertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol t09l and IS the only paper so distinguished in this section of the South.
