CAMP AT GRIFFIN A
MOST SUCCESS SFUL ONE,

Assistant Adjutant General
A. ]. Scott returned yesterday
from Griffin, where he had been
assisting the Second and Fourth
Georgia regiments getting into
camp. Colonel Scott says that
there are fully 1900 men in the
two regiments and that all the
soldiers seem delighted with the
prospects of the outing. Col. W.
E. Wooten is in command of the
post. I really believe the pre-
sent camp will be the most sue
cessfu1 ever held in the state and
especially at Griffin. Everybodyis
enthusiastic and more work was
accomplished at Camp Northen
in two hours yesterday than 1
ever saw done there before in
two days. The two regiments
will be there until next Tues
day."
Colonel Scott has returned to
Griffin. The Griffin people are
looking forward with a great deal
of pleasure to the trip of Cover
nor Terrell Saturday. At that
time the chief executive and his
staff will visit Camp Nor then and
will be the guest of the legislator.

THE DOCTOR HAS RIGHTS.

It seems to us that undue at
tention is being paid to the state
ment of that Brooklyn pulpiteer,
DR.. Hills, to the effect that he
would not hesitate to make up
the bed on which had reposed in
peaceful s1um Der the negro edu-
Gator, Booker Washington.
Of course not. Really we new
err thought the doctor would hes
itate to do anything to gain lit
tie notoriety.
But this is a free country.
The doctor has right to make
up Booker's bed if he wants to.
There is no constitutional prohi-
bition even against his sleeping
all night in the same bed with
Booker. The only objection
that would be raised would prob
ably be by Booker himself.
In this connection it is refresh
ing to note that foolish talk from
such men as DIR. Hills does not
turn the head of Booker Wash
ington. The negro leader is the
superior in common sense and
integrity to a dozen such men as
Hillis.-Dublin Courier Dispatch.
Undue attention has been
paid "-and then our worthy con.
temporary goes on paying more
undue attention to this trivial cir.
cumstance.
There is an old story told of a
sub-tropica1 plant called "stop-a
while" When one becomes en-.
tangled in it's thorns he finds
himself more hopeless1y caught
each time he struggles to get
free.
These discussions remind one
of this noxious plant.
The more we try to right things
the more we become involved.

Atlanta ought to handle DR..
Broughton as a public nuisance
and perpetual menace to the

permitted to run at large with

Of course this is not a serious
statement-the result of careful
thought, so we will not bother to
reply to it, but if the editor of
the Albany Herald wants to find a
good location to run a newspaper
where there is perpetually exer-
cised a rigid censorship over the
press, the platform and the pull

The following deserves the
careful consideration of every
citizen in our colony:
I would say to those who are
discussing taxes and values, that
the legal rate of interest is the
com mercia1 basis of valuation.
The value of idle property is
determined by the location, and
if rentable property yields, or
its assessed value, the legal rate
of interest, plus 2ao, it is not as
sessed too highly"

i MISTAKEN ESTIMATE.

The Nashville American is the
source of the following words:
IF the south imagines that it's
criticisms Of President Roosevelt
because of his utterances and ac-
tons relating to the colored citi-
zens has in the remotest degree
injured him politically or weak
ened his chances of nomination
or election, then the south is la
boring under an erroneous i'm
preston. The south, however,
entertains no such idea. The
south, the intelligent south, rea-
Lies its he1plessness and impo-
tency."
For one, The Constitution asks
leave to enter an emphatic pro-
test against any such statement
of the condition of mind attribu-
ted above to the intelligent south.
We think the intelligent south
entertains, and with abundant
reason, just the opposite views
entirely. We have quite an ac-
quaintance ourselves with the in
telligent south and we know that
it does not realize any sense of
"he1plessness and impotency"
because of the predominant pres
ence of Mr.. Roosevelt in medals
res politically.
The south has no idea that
the president is that second Gaze
sar, who has grown so great that
it must walk beneath his legs
with deep humiliation and tall ad-
miration. The intelligent south
has seen in it's time other its"
that looked larger and more over
whelming than the cratic young
man of the white house. And it
has seen their glory wither as
dry grass in the fire and their
power wane in the waning of a
single moon.-Constitution.

According to Chicago press
dispatch, it has reached the ears
of officers of the department of
the lakes that some new and dis
turbing history will be contained
in a book now being written by
Richmond Pearson Hobson, en-
titled "A History of the United
States Navy" The work will
deal largely with naval affairs of
the late Spanish war and may
hurt several heroes hoisted on
the pedestal of fame through po-
litical influence. Likewise, it is
said, men who have met official
condemnation will be restored to
their position in this history. 1t
throws an entirely new light on
many events of the late war, it is
said, and is a strong defense of
Admiral Dewey and Admiral
Schley.-The Albany Herald.

SERVIA FEELS THE WORLDS Dis
PLEASURE.

England, the United Safes,
France, Holland, and Turkey
have broken off diplomatic rela.
tons with Sergia, and according
to statement of Lord Lansdowne,
Germany and Italy will do like
wise. Even Russia and Austria
accompanied the message of good
wishes to King Peter with a per-
sonal expression from the car
and the emperor denouncing the
murdercrs of the king and queen
and hoping that they would he
punished. Thus Servia, as is fit
ting, will be made to feel the dis
pleasure of an outraged world.
Great Britain ordered her min
lister to Servia to withdraw from
the capital for some time" and
to take no step which might, be
looked upon as a recognition of
of the new king and government.
This implies that relations NAV
be later reopened. Great Britain
and the other European goven-
ments must continue to transact
business with Servia, they having
interests in that kingdom that
need to be protected. Thus
breaking off of international rela-
tions, therefore, can be done only
as temporary and appropriate
expression of condemnation of
the revolving crimes. Although
the new government founded on
assassination may be thus pub
licly execrated, the fact of its ex-
istence must be later on accepted
