Some Striking Sentences from HOke
Smiths Speech.

The fight must now be made against
the domination of party machinery by
railroad politicians.
Nominations must be made for State
house officers in white primaries under
the Australian ballot system by ma
jority vote.
No foreign corporation of non-reSi-
dents should be allowed to operate
railroads in Georgia.
Railroads must be taxed as other
taxpayers.
Our laws as to lobbying must be
broadened and enforced.
The Georgia Railroad Commission
erS must be elected by the people and
must protect the public in transporta-
tion matters against OverchargeS and
against tyrannical misconduct 1t Is
fight for the reconquest of the State
by the people.
We have no law preventing railroad
corporations and other special classes
furnishing money from paying the eX-
penses of candidates. That this has
been done no one doubts. How high
up in the line of ofiice-holders we have
those who have accepted such aid
will not undertake to say.
The crowning proof of the combi-
nations between the railroad polite
ians and the ring came in the tender
of a place upon the Supreme Court
bench to Judge Hamilton McWhorter,
the chief political representative of
the Southern Railroad, styled the "ad-
visory board" The State would have
risen in arms had he accepted. OF
course, there must have been an
understanding that hewould decline
the rendered office. This leaves the
transaction one which shows Governor
Terrell and Judge McWhOrter trifling

highest court of the State.

Perennial Cotton.
Baltimore Sum-

According to the Rhodesid Herald
the cotton plant has been converted
from an annual into perennial by
Major Hurrell. who has been expert
menting near the River Gwibi, in
RhodeSia. The advantage of the pc
1ennial is that it is not killed by frost.
The cost OF cultivation is reduced by
emitting annual planting. Major Hur-
rell's product is said to be a great sue
cess. The cotton ginned was taken
from plants "cut back" in their sec
ond year, and 25 pounds of specimens
have been sent to London. Large ef-
forts are being made to develop the
planting of cotton in Rhodesia, as in
