Hon. M. j. Yeomans OF Dawson Is q
candidate for chairman of the state
democratic convention, which will
convene in Atlanta this summer, and
the prospects are that he will be given
the honor to which he aspires without

veution carries with it another honor
thai OF chairman of the state demo-
cratic executive committee,
Mr.. Yeomans is an indefatlgaoie
worker in the party ranks, and as such
is widely known throughout the state
He is young man OF fine ability and
pleasing personality, and it goes with
out saying that he would grace the po-
sition to which he will no doubt be
elected.
The News wishes Mr.. YeOmans ev'
cry success, and confidently predicts a
brilliant future for him.

Mr.. BRYAN'S SOUTHERN TOUR.

Hon. VIM. j. Bryan is on triE
through the south, and has made
speeches in Kentucky, Tennessee, AL
ALBANIA and Florida. 1t is announced
that he will speak in Atlanta tomor'
row, and will go from there to North
Carolina, where he will speak in Ral
eigh. Everywhere he has appeared
there has been a great Outpouring OF
the people, ana he has received ova-
ton after ovation. The Montgomery
Journal says of his reception in that
city:
"The theatre was packed from pit
to dome, from the dress circle to the
top gallery, and a Thousand people, 1t
is estimated, were turned away, not
being able to get seats. The large au-
dience and its pOnsiveness was not
only a high tribute to Bryan, but Is
regarded here by his friends as VIM
dication of the charges brought
against him by his enemies.
He proved himself the greatest OF
Americas great orators, and at times

audience as no audience here had ever
been thrilled. Mr.. Bryan was never
so eloquent, so earnest, so torceful IN
argument, or had an audience more
responsive.
HE dwelt on politics and on the
moral side of politics, and his hearers
forgot the first and remembered only
the latter, which overshadowed all else
so clearly and forcefully was the moral
side Drought out. Mr.. Bryan spoke for
two hours. He spoke with impassioned
fervor. He spoke as ope inspired. He
put his party upon high plane, and
appealed to his hearers to keep 1t
there-not to allow it to fall into the
control of those who use 1T and abuse
it. He wanted a party that would APP
peal to the conscience of men, not their
peck etbooks"

WHY NEWSPAPERS ARE POOR.

A few days ago The News received
from an advertising firm which is ex-
plotting for an Atlanta concern book
by a prominent southerner, recently
deceased, a letter enclosing 10 cents
in stamps and one-inch advertise
ment. For the remuneration OF 10
cents The News was to insert the ad-
vertisement "as many times" as the
publisher felt like doing So
Now the The News had not the
heart to accept so princely sum as
that rendered. The letter was prompt
Iv CONSIGNED to the waste basket and
the Is cents returned to the sender.
We notice, however, that several OF
our contemporaries have accepted the
nervy proposition and are inserting
the advertisement, and herein lies the
secret of the poverty Of the average
newspaper. Instead of standing co.
gether as a unit in maintaining re-
spectacle rates for advertising many
publications IN the weekly field will
accept anything rendered. This, OF
course, lowers the value of ad
vertising space, and naturally leads
the advertiser to believe that any
old pay will be acceptable to The
publisher. The acceptance of the
advertisement in question by a few
newspapers whose publishers put no
value on their space affects the bust
ness of every weekly newspaper in
Georgia.
The News every year rejects more
advertising propositions than it &C
cepts, and if more weekly papers would
do likewise the business would not be
found such an insignificant PROPOSE
ton.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN.

The war, long expected, between
Russia and Japan has begun, and the
first results are somewhat startling
The spectacle OF the two nations en-
gagged in deadly conflict bears re-
semblance closely akin to bulldog
maltreating fee, and yet to the sur
prise of everyone plucky little Japan
seems to be getting the better of the
argument. Certain it is that she has
drawn first blood.
In the United States at least, and
probably amongst the other powers
public sympathy is almost entirely
with the opponents Of the bear. Lay
ing aside all question of which con-
testant is morally right sympathy is
almost always with the weaker fellow,
the under dog, and the world looks on
and applauds at the sight of the
Mikado soundly spanking the presump
tious cZar.
1t Is true, however, that the news
reports which come to us from the ori
ent are somewhat conflicting, and
affairs may show a different phase
laser. 10 this connection the follow
ing from the Atlanta Constitution
sums up the situation at present and
forecasts what may be expected:
"The naval attack at Port Arthur
was not intended to develop into bat,
tie; it was simply a movement to cover
the disem barkatiOn of troops in south
ern Korea, and was entirely success
full. The result of a real naval battle
cannot be foretold, of course, but it
is very likely that the known energy
of the japanese will give them the
victory. But this is only the begin
ming of the war. The Russian is just
wide awake enough at this stage of the
proceedings TO turn over and scratch
himself. When he gets out of bed
and begins to pour his hordes into
Manchuria and China and into Korea
matters will have different aspect"

DEATH OF MARK HANNA.

Senator Mark Hanna of Ohio, chair
man of the national republican con
vention, died in Washington Monday
after an illness of several days. Sen
ator Hanna was a true type OF the

opinion the dollar and not the man
should be taken care of in legislation.
On the other hand Senator Hanna had
some qualities of patriotism and
S craftsmanship, and his death is a loss

opyright, 1908, by Sampson Hodges Co.
HARD LUCK.

When a man is up against it.
When he hasn't got PUNK,
If he ne'er before has sensed 1t
Then he'll find that it takes spunk
To get out and hustle dinner,
Breakfast, supper, what you please.
He may count himself a winner
If he captures one of these.
When he has the eating habit
He will go at breakneck speed,
If he sights job. TO grab it
And to worry out feed
He will find his woes are many
Soon as all his coin is sunk.
AS for friends, he hasn't any
When he hasn't got a PUNK.

SOME SAY HE Is DEAD.

From the Macon News.
Bryan easily goes from one ovation
to another. The applause of the null
titude which greeted him In Ken
tucky's capital had not died away ere
he was received with the homage and
greeting of 5000 persons at the capital
of Tennessee. His reception on his
present tour of the south partakes OF
the nature of triumphal honOrs. And
yet this is the man some say is dead.

A CURRENT OF UNEASINESS.

The republicans throughout the
country are affecting all sorts of conf
dence in the result of the approaching
pational election, but it is very evident
that underneath all this show of nom
chalance there is deep undercurrent
of genuine uneasiness. 1t would not
do, of course, to pretend doubt of the
outcome; TOO much pie aud other thiug S
hinge upon majorities, but it is un-
questionablY true that leaders of the
q. o. o. are in serious fear of how the
ballots will be cast. The straws are
already beginning to show which way
the political wind is blowing, aud as
tute republican politicians who are
watching these straws do not, and
cannot. fail to discern the handwrit-
ing on the wall

days coming for democracy
