Both Candidates at work.

Two of the candidates in the recent
primary election for Governor of Flor
ida, Robert w. Davis, now a Con-
gresham, and Napoleon B. Broward,
who won fame by his filibustering ex-
ploits just prior to the Spanish-Amer-
lean War, made a house to house
campaign through the rural districts
of the State, says the Denver Repub-
lican.
One hot day, Capt. Broward drove
up to a peaceful farmhouse, and
found woman strenuously chopping
wood in the front yard.
The gallant captain alighted bowed
to the woman, and said: Madam, ex-
cuse. me, but l cannot stand idly by
and see a lady doing such hard work.
Permit me-" And, taking the axe
the candidate labored for thirty min
utes until the last stick had been cut.
Now, madam" he said, as he mop
ped the perspiration from his brow
IF you have a husband you may tell
him that Capt. Broward called to see
him and that I would appreciate his
vote for Governor of Florida. ="
The woman, who had been admfring
the candidates ability as a wood chop
per, shook her head obviously and re-
piled:
well, I dunno about his votn' for
you, cause Bob Davis is in the back
yard a-milkin' the cow"

The FIood-saIt or Freshs

The Flood lasted $50 days and nights,
writes Victor Smith in the New York
Press. 1t rained forty days and nights.
Was the water salt or fresh? This
question has bothered me a good deal
of late. II the latter, I have nothing
to say. but If the former, let me ask
what the animals drank on the voyage
of the ark. 1t has never been settled
what they ate; therefore, we may rea-
sonably Judge that there was a sus-
pension of appetite and thirst during
the cruise of the original house boat.
During the forty days and nights of
the storm Noah might have caught
rain water for his cargo of live stock;
but what happened during the rest of
the time of the flotation-110 days and
nights? Assuming that the rain fell
at the rate of one foot every hour dur
ing the time the heavens were open,
it would have taken S33 days to cover
the tops of the highest mountains, es-
timating the limit to be only 10000 feet
But il rained only forty days and forty
nights! Therefore, the rainfall must
have been at the rate of nearly TWEEN
ty-one feet an hour! Could the ark
have withstood a downpour of over 500
feet a day on every square foot of its
surface?

loom PAUL"

Stephanus Johannes Paul Kruger,
whose death is announced this MORN
ing, was born two or three hundred
In a wrong period to suit his character,
he lived too long. He properly be-
longed in the feudal era. when the
man who could hate fiercest. kill quick
est, think slowest and pray longest and
loudest was an acknowledged leader.
He was not a typical Boer, In that
he accumulated every one of the Boer
characteristics. if indeed he did not
exaggerated them. Joubert and Cronje
were nearer types of their people. They
were open to advanced ideas. But
not so "Oom Paul" His mind once
fixed was unalterable and nothing
could make an impression on it.
Kruger has been called the father
of the South African Republic. not
withstanding it's people called him
loom" (uncle.) He was the first pres
ident of the new government, which
grew and thrived by reason Of the
thrift of its citizens. and which might
have been numbered among the in
dependent governments of the earth
to-day except for the hard-headedness
of President Kruger. There is scarce
ly room for doubling that the war be-
tween the Transvaal and Great Britain
would have been averted except for
the Kruger influence. The intolerable
oppression of the "Uitlanders," which
brought on the conflict. was the result
of Kruger's hatred of the English and
his desire to drive them out Of the
country. He took II as a personal af-
front that Englishmen had come into
the country and acquired valuable
properties. So intense was his preiu-
dice against the English that he would
not speak their language in the lat
ter years OF his life, though he under
stood it perfectly.
Still Paul Kruger was a remarkable
man. He was self educa ted, and made
with his own hands a large fortune
out Of the rich fields and mines of
South Africa. As soldier he was
fearless. and as a hunter redoubtable.
Manv almost incredible stories are
told Of his prowess. the most famous
being that he once slew lion with
his naked hands. As pioneer he was
successful, but as politician he failed
because of his distrust and dislike of
all foreigners and his refusal to ac-
cept any innovation.

Kruger fed the country. leaving his
aged wife behind in Pretoria. She

finger and thumb in his lower right
hand waistcoat pocket and withdrew
them with a disappointed air, says the
Chicago News. He then tried the up
per righthand pocket, and then the
lower and upper left, successfully. The
frown deepened on his brow, and he
felt in the ticket pocket of his coat.
That brought no result and he reach
ed the pockets of every garment he
wore, Systematically and thoroughly.
The stout little man in the plaid
necktie in the seat opposite CROPPED
in his waistcoat pocket and produced
bunch of matches which he offered
to the nfan in the rear seat, with a
pleasant smile. The face of the rear
seat man lightened.

he demonstrated. "Pll just take one.

man cordially. I've got a-plenty.

content on his countenance.
Presently the stout little man began
to tumble in his pockets with an ex-
preston of anxiety. 1t did not take
him long to complete his search. 1t
was fruitless one, and he sighed
heavily His eyes met the eye of the
man with the pipe.
They ought to have a train boy

ed with a rueful smile. Il thought
L had one, but I guess I'll have
to wait until I get to town.
The rear-seat man hesitated a mo-
ment. A skilled reader of the human
face might have discerned evidence of
a mental struggle in his. He unbut-
toned his coat. took a solitary cigar
from his upper lefthand waistcoat
pocket and presented it to the stout
little man, who received it with
profuse expressions of gratitude

That's all right" said the man in

At Walton place the man in the

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

The number of railroad accidents is
appalling. There is scarcely a morn
ing that the newspapers don't contain
an account of an accident in which
anywhere from dozen to a score or
more of people are killed and injured.
In the accident at Glenwood, ILL.,, on
Wednesday, an account of which was
published in our dispatches yesterday,
eighteen were killed outright and six
ty-eight injured.
These railroad accidents are so COM
mon that they cease to excite feelings
of horror. Indeed. the people have
become so used to them that they pay
very little attention to accounts Of
them. The accidents make the travel
ing public nervous, however, and many
people never feel comfortable when
travelling by rail. The number of
casualties on the railroads of this coun-
try for the year ending July I, 1908. as
shown by the records of the Interstate
Commerce Commission was 9.s40
killed and 1858 injured. It the
country We're at war the cas-
uaties wouldn't be very much
greater from the bullets Of the enemy,
and It wouldn't be surprising If the
casualties for the year ending July 1
of this year were very much greater
than those for the previous year.
There is no doubt that many of the
accidents are due to the unftness of
employees for their positions. 1t is
stated that boy operators are often
placed in charge of important stations,
and that they go to sleep at their posts
or become confused and make mis-
takes which cost many lives and a
great deal of property.
Legislatures are TO blame for the en-
ployment Of cheap labor to some ex-
tent, because they permit railroads
that have been built up at great ex-
pense 70 be paralleled. and they insist
upon freight rates that leave but lit
tie margin for profit after the enormous
taxes are paid. Cheap labor results
from the effort OF the roads to make
something for their owners.
1t Is true OF course that. as a rule.
railroads are overcapitalized. but all
Of them are not, and the probability

A Philadelphia paper received a
communication which ran as follows:
Dear Editor Will you kindly in
form me by return mail what num-
Der of seeds are contained in a sew
enty-five-pound pumpkin, as l wish
to settle an argument"
A Western parallel to this request
lies in an unhappy experience of an
editor who one morning received two
letters from subscribers. The first,
an anxious father, wrote to find out
the best way to bring up his twin
babies in health and happiness, while
the other, farmer, wanted to know
the quickest method of getting rid of
grasshoppers.
The editor hesitated; then, out of
the fulness of his knowledge, he wrote
two letters in reply. But in the haste
of business he put the letters into the
wrong envelopes.
The next morning the father of The
twins received this interesting an
swer
Cover them carefully with straw

Quanah gave his reasons thus: Me

man; named for me; he my nephew

The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says: "It
was the black peril more than the de-
sire for a change in the financial sys-
tenn that held Dixie in line for silver
The people of the South are naturally
conservative. 1t is gratifying to know
that their conservative influence has
been exercised In placing a great po-
litical party upon firmer foundation"
The Washington Post Ond.) says:
"Democracy's sensitiveness on the gold
standard will not create any alarm,
however much it disappointed hopes,
now that Judge Parker has so cour-
ageously defined his position, and the
party has accepted him. No one fears
16 to 1 or any other dead and buried
heresy, after the fine spectacle that
characterized the closing proceedings
at st. Louis. We are apparently going
to have a comparatively quiet cam
paign, and we trust IL will be free from
personal abuse-a weapon far more
dangerous to the party that employs
1t than to the party against which it
is employed"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says; Thomas f. Ryan. a delegate
from Virginia. points out that the
South took the lead in abandoning sill
verism, and he is entirely right, for
reasons that we have explained. Sill
verism is distinctively a product Of
Populism, and that originated and
fiourished most in Republican Western
states. Only incidentally did the Dem
ocratic states of the South take it up,
and for some time they have given
evidence of dropping IT.. The winning
Democratic combination is that Of the
South and the Northeast against the
West. as represented by the ticket of
Parker and Davis on a platform free
from Populism."
The New York Post Qnd.) says: 1.-THE
Esopus telegram heralded a man once
more. The calm. unassuming I'M
known man sounded a single note, and
the whole country listened spellbound.
The Democratic party has a leader
once more. The man whom the party
proposed to elevate on its shield for
want of a better. the man who would
look respectable and talk empty plati-
tudes, has displayed a masterful will
that has instantly made his party as
clay In his hands. Here was no politi-
clan to cajole his party or to cringe to
t.. here was the wisdom as well as
the power OF a ruler of men. A coun-
try gentleman writes seventy-five
words and the world is electrified and
the Democratic party revolutionized.
The party sought a candidate, and OBJ
tsinsd--a lGader."

was kindly treated by the British. but
in. a few months she died. Mr.. Kru-
ger is believed to have taken several
millions of money with him to Europe,
so that in his exile he was abundant

luxuries of life.
Mr.. Kruger died in the seventy-ninth
year of his age. Had his demise &C

of the South African Republic,

difficulties would probably have been

lived to see his government overthrow

militant British, with whom he re-
fused to be on friendly terms.

THE IMMIGRATION BILL.

The Mathews immigration bin is
meeting with a good deal of opposi-
ton for the reason that the Legisa-
ture sees or thinks it sees, it will be
the basis for a large annual appro-
priation in the very near future. 1t
may not require so much to put the
bill in operation, but if results under
it are to be accomplished there is no
doubt pretty large annual appropria-
ton will be required.
What the people of the state don't
want is an immigration law that will
simply make places for a few more Of
flee holders. What they do want Is a
simple, inexpensive immigration law
that will be productive of results. We
have no doubt there are several candi-
dates already for the secretaryship of
the immigration Board which the
Mathews bill creates. and if the bill
should become a law it isn't at all inn
probable that some one would be ap-
pointed secretary who hasn't the first
qualification for the position.
What kind of immigrants do we
want here in Georgia? The answer
is known to every one who has the
best interests of the state at heart.
We want farmers who will take up
the unoccupied lands and make farms
out of them Where are such immi-
grants to be obtained? Either from
the Northern states or from Europe.
Doubtless in the North the informa-
ton respecting Georgia and her adj
vantages is already pretty we'll
known. Perhaps "a pamphlet showing
the states advantages would do some
good. but missionary work by capable
agents would do more good.
The best source of a supply of immi-
grants, however, is those parts of Eu-
rope in which the small farmers are
looking towards this country to bet
ter their condition. Some days ago
we published an immigration article,
based upon information furnished by a
gentleman of this city, who says he
has been instrumental in bringing to
this country between 5000 and 5000
North German farmers. In that arti-
Gle 1t was pointed out that about the
only way to get these German farmers
to come TO Georgia is to send among
them some one capable of gaining their
confidence, who is not only sufficiently
well informed in respect to Georgia,
to make known her advantages, but
who is able to direct immigrants to
parts of the state where lands can be
had at reasonable prices.
1t doesn't do any good to send
literature to these people, for two rea-
sons. The first is they wouldn't under
stand it If they were to be supplied
with it. and the second is they wouldn't
believe it if they did understand it.
AS we have said. the only way to
get immigrants from Europe-imm-
grants Of the kind wanted-is to send
trusted and well-equipped agent to
the countries from which immigrants
are desired After a few families We're
obtained others would follow, provided
the first-comers were satisfied.
An immigration measure ought not
to be rushed through the Legislature.
1t ought to- be carefully studied. IN
formation as to what features it ought
to contain in order to bring the best
| results ought to be carefully sought.
BY the right kind of legislation on
this subject it is possible to do the
state a vast amount of good. A bad
measure simply means a comfortable
office for political favorite.
