gentlemen of color prevaricated
somewhat. claiming that he was only
"practicing" for future conauests
Judge Clark seemed to doubt this
story. and demanded s34. 50 from

Editor Dick Grubb of the Darien
Gazette, who is an avowed supper
ter of Col Estill of Savannah for
Governor, is always fair, as will be
seen from the following, taken
from the Gazette, relative to the
race of Hon. Clark Howell for
Governor.
Hon. Clark Howell, in state
ment recently published in the
daiIes, says he is not ready to pre-
cipitate a campaign on the people
but at the proper time he will tell
them what he knows about things.
Mr.. Howell has a record and he is
willing to stand on it. Clark
Howell is splendid man and has
done much for Georgia. We prefer
another for governor but that does
not prevent us from saying a good
word about one whom we esteem
and know to be all right.

The SCHEME SUITS COMPANIES

No scheme of Federal regulation
and control of life insurance COM
panies that would withhold from
the State tie right to regulate in
surance companies doing business
within its limits is tolerable. All
the ''great companies are under
stood to favor Federal regulation
and their officials no doubt had
this in view when they contri-
buted to the republican fund.
And it is understood that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will recommend
such regulation in his annual mes
sage, thus seemingly complying
with the expectations of the com
panieS.
The only Federal action which
recent exposures invite is an in
yestigation of contributions and
expenditure of the last campaign
and a law prohibiting corporation
campaign contributions in the
future, providing adequate pen
alties therefor and providing for
Federal inspection of campaign
disbursements,
So far as Georgia is concerned
she does not propose to surrender
her right to prescribe the condi-
lions upon which foreign insurance
companies may do business in this
State, or in the slightest manner
relax the control she has already
assumed. On the contrary, it
should be the policy of the State
to tighten matters and hold foreign
companies to honest business meth
DDS as a prerequisite of doing bust
ness here.
In the meantime, the people
ought to give serious considera-
ton to the whole question of in
surance. They ought to consider
the desirability of patronizing and
building up home companies,
which can be more thoroughly
regulated by State authority and
whose resources can be invested
in the State, thus building up oul
own waste places instead of con
tributing to the development o.
other sections of the country.

HAS BEARING UPON CONGRESS

The Washington correspondent
of the New York Herald declares
the presidents forthcoming South
ern trip will have greatsignifcance
in its bearing on the coming ses-
sion of congress, and that it is for
the purpose of making an appeal
directly to the South for the sup
port of his policies by Southern
senators and representatives. The
Herald correspondent says he will
have need of all the voters he can
muster, be they democratic or re-
publican, to carry through his
plans with reference to these mat
tiers.

THE mellow autumn sunshine flooded
the pumpkin garnished corn-field R
on the hills, and the breeze pulled ~
fragrant scents of ripeness into the nos
this. There was a tang in the air From the
bitches trailing along the dusty road leading to
the Silver Lake fairgrounds men shouted joviallv
10 each other, and women cackled shrill 1nerri-
ment. Over the high fence of the grounds
foated the boom of band music shot through
with yells of fakirs, changing of the starters gong
and the insistent squeals of penny squawkers in
the hands of juveniles-the real fair-time tumble

It was a great day for the fair.
There was no doubt of it, for
everybody said so TO everybody
else.
But one man in the throng ap-
preaching the scene of the festival
did not appear to be participating
n the general good time His
b-indle whiskers were snarled. his
back was dusty, his two-wheeled
road-cart was wabbling dejectedly,
and the horse in the shafts resem-
bled a defeated candidate the
morning after"
In a little grove just outside
the fairgrounds the swaPpers al
ready were congregated on their
wonted field OF combat" Razoo
Row" Ancient plugs" dozed
without minding the lavish praises
bestowed by their owners. Here
and there a horse leaned YEARLY
against a tree. Some obviously
rubbed their noses along the bark
when an especial burst of eloquence
set out their astonishing capabil-
tiles But they did not resent the
familiarity Of grimy fingers rolling
up their fabby lips or thumbs
poking the Puffs on their legs.
Men sauntered here and there,
and whitfield and talked "pedi-
gree" and performance" and
borrowed "chaws," and forensi-
cally debated points -
The man of the snarled whiskers
noted their activity from afar He
pulled up. clambered stiffiy off the
seat Of his road-cart and removed
q bit Of strap-iron that was pinched
over the nose Of his horse to check
its whistling." He pulled few
handfuls of dirty grass by the
wayside, mopped the animals
sweat-streaked sides and slicked
the hair as best he could. After
this refurbishing he took a fresh
chew Of tobacco TO fortify him
