THE NEW MOVE,

From the Macon County Citizen.
Hon. Steve Postell, the Atlanta cor
respondent of the Macon Telegraph,
says in the Saturday issue of the Tel
egraph that the Atlanta guanO manu-
facturers will go before the railroad
commission soon with a demand for
a rate on all crude material that goes
to make fertilizers that will enable At
lanta to compete with Americas, Al
bany, Dawson, COrdele, Valdosta and
Macon, thus by peacemeal getting her
port rate demands for advantage over
all towns south of her. This is i'm
portant to our section. We do not
wish to see Atlanta given this advant-
age.
While we are considering freight
rates we should remember the Macon
Telegraph's fight for our section to
prevent Atlanta forcing to the wall
our wholesale houses. Atlanta asked
a rate lower than Macon, Albany,
Cordele, Americas, Triton, ValdOsta,
and other south Georgia cities and
got mad because the commissioners
refused to allow her monopoly.

TO DO OR NOT TO DO.

The populists are yet undecided ON
cially, what to do-whetherto do or MOI
10 do. They seem to be adritt on the
political sea. The state executive com
mlttee of that party met in Atlanta
Friday to consider the situation, and
after two hours of heated argument a
resolution was adopted directing the
chairman "to issue a call for a state
conference of populists to be held IN
Atlanta on July to put out a state
ticket" and "all white voters who are
opposed to ring and gag rule and
railroad domination" were invited to
Join the populist party.
Notwithstanding this action it is
not certain that the populists will have
a ticket in the field this year. AS is
we'll known, certain leaders of the
party are opposed to putting up can
didates, and it will not be done II
they can prevent it. The News be-
lieves it will make but little difference
whether they do or whether they do
not, so far as it will effect the politi'
cal situation. A great many of the
populists determined some time ago
TO return to the democratic party, and
most of them will vote in the primary
on August %.

AGAINST THE FOREIGN SCUM.

The Georgia League OF Municipali-
lies, in convention in Augusta last
week, declined to endorse the immi-
grafton movement, motion to do so
having been defeated. The Opposi-
ton was led by DR.. Bruner, health
officer of Savannah, who said that
what was wanted was a law to make
the negroes go to work. OF course
that would solve the problem, but
heretofore it has been as serious a
problem to find a law that will make
the negro work as it has been to solve
the labor problem without the negro.
DR.. Bruner, however, is right in his
position in regard to flooding this
country with foreigners. There are
not any more worthless or undeSira-
BILE people than the foreign scum who
are being emptied into this country
almost at the rate of million a year.
Notwithstanding the vast number Of
immigrants who come to the United
States the labor conditions constantly
grow worse instead of better.

PROPERTY OWNING NEGROES.

1t will be a surprise to the average
citizen, doubtless, to learn from no less
authentic source than a supplement-
ary report of the census of 1900, just
issued, that the value of farms in the
United States cultivated by negroes
is in round numbers five hundred mill
lion dollars, or to be exact S499, 94l, =
234. and all but a small portion OF
the farms are owned in the south. 1t
shows that the door of opportunity is
by no means closed to the negro in
the south, and that with all the innate
thriftlessness of the Afro American
character a certain proportion OF
them are home-makers and of ne
cessity good citizens. AS the Macon
Telegraph says, there will be no dis
position in any quarter to begrudge
the property of the Industrious, law
abiding and self-respecting negro
such as the property accommodating
class of them are apt to be, for with
the ability and providence to acquire
property comes a steadiness of char
acter that will prevent them from be-
ing a menace to their neighbours"

CHEERED MR. BRYAN IN CHURCH

From the Macon Telegraph.
Mr.. Bryan declined an invitation to
banquet in Japan because he al
ways goes to church on the Lord s
day" This caused the Rev. DR..
Coyle to announce from his pulpit in
Denver that nothing on earth but the
death of President Roosevelt can keep
Mr.. Bryan from being the next pres
ident of the United States" and the
announcement caused the congregation
to get to their feet and give three
cheers for the Nebraskan. DR.. CoYle
must have meant to say nothing on
earth but the continued good health
of President Roosevelt" etc. The in
ference logically to be drawn is that
Roosevelt and Bryan are the only
American politicians of presidential
size who go to church.

CARLOAD OF SABLE PEACH PICKERs

From the Millen News.
A train load of negroes from Sa-
vannah passed through Millen Mon
day night en- route to Marshallville,
where they went to pick peaches. They
were happy on the way and sang joy
fully. They left Savannah on the eve
of the Chatham county election, and
this brings to mind a noticeable
change in conditions. A few years
ago when they were in politics it
would have been impossible to have
gotten them away from Savannah, and
the Marshallville peach industry
would have suffered for want of labor
to move the peaches. The majority
of them would have sold their votes
for enough to live on a week, and as it
would have taken them about a week
to have gotten over the glorious
drunk they would have gotten on it
would have been impossible to have
gotten them to work. The new condi-
ton is much better for the peace OF
man, the politician and the negro, and
we are glad to see the change.
