THE SUMS SHAFTS.

The New York Sun INDUCES in some
of its facile satire at the expense of
Col. John Temple Graves. of the At
lanta Georgian. The Sun quotes a
recent editorial in the Tribune in COM
mendation of the Georgian and Col.
Graves as a theme for its humorous
remarks. The Sun says:
"Col. John Temple Graves, who
was torn down from the Atlanta News
by unholy hands of monopolists and
foes of the people. has been nailed,
untattered. to the masthead of The
Atlanta Georgian. There he waves
proudly--and long may ne wave!- a
glorious burst of color.
In looking reverently over the pages
of the coloners new newspaper We can
find but one thing TO blame. There is
too little effusion of his inspiring per-
sonality. For example, in No. II OF
his setrling sheet there is but one
portrait of John Temple Graves who
will preside at the mass meeting Tues

god, fished up from the Aegean or dug

Cicero toward the Empyrean. But
why a single picture? Even the onrth-

Gwen the editorial page contains
but two double loaded and double load

eight reprint articles about him. His
publisher believes as every good man

Alabama Crops in May.

The farmers of Alabama enter upon
the month of May with a general lack
of moisture. At the outset of the chief
terminating month nearly every county
hopes for rainfalls that will render
the soil moist and workable. AT pres
ent the ground in all parts of the state
is dry and hard" Canebrake, black
belt and valley counties in the north,
each and all, cry aloud for rain. 1t is
not often that condition In a broad
state is so general and widespread.
The weather and crop report sent out
from Montgomery, under the date Of
May 1, does not show that a single
April a sufficiency of moisture. One
shower did fall at Gurley, but 1t does
not appear that the rest of Madison
county was equally blessed.
It is, however, much too early to an
ticipate a dry May. A dry May would
be very distressing. The weather has,
however, been favorable to outdoor
work and it is reasonable to assume
that seeding of all sorts has gone on
almost unchecked, and that the Ala
bama farms will be in good shape to
get all the benefits that rain can con-
fer when they do come. Warm gen
eral rains in this state this week would
start millions of dollars towards the
! pockets of our farmers, for they grow
one crop that is worth in cash at any
time over fifty million dollars.

Southern Methodism.

The fifteenth general conference of
the Southern Methodist church will be
called to order in this city this morn
ing and the entire southern episco-
pate of the active list and hundreds
of clerical and lay delegates from 49,
1913 churches in attendance. The en-
rolled membership of the church south
exceeds 100000. and it is not extrav-
CANT to say that the general confer
enee represents four to five millions
of people.
The members of the general confer
ence will be welcomed to this city by
all irrespective of creed or denomina-
ton. The welcome of the Methodists
of this district may be tri1e warmer,
but the welcome of all the rest will be
earnest genuine and cordial. All will
be glad to render the stay of the dele
gates enjoyable. These delegates will
soon see tnaI our smoke and our hur-
ried ways are harmless. We have time
to attend TO the courtesies of life, and
these will be freely extended to the
members who honor us by coming here
to transact the quadrennal business
of great church.
The general conference is the SUI
preme arbiter of all problems in the
church south. There is no appeal
from its decisions in discipline, doc
trine or business propositions. 1t leg
islates with no one to question its
action. AS it sits but once in four
years, its calendar is never light. and
fortunate will the delegates be if they
can in the month of May clear the way
for the continuous growth and devel-
opment of the church that filled so
great a part in the early history of the
country. and is equally well adapted
to the country's more cultured periods.

Capt. Hobson's Expanding Fame.

Santiago put Theodore Roosevelt in
the White House, and now Editor Nor
man Z. Mack of the Buffalo Times a
member of the national democratic
committee, proposes that it shall rem
der a like service for Richmond Pear
son Hobson. At first it was thought
that the Hobson boomers in New
York would groom him for second
place on the 1908 ticket but reports
go 10 show that they propose to make
him Theodore's successor on Theo.
dore's Santiago platform. The record
of the former at Santiago was even
more picturesque than that of the lat
ter, and what served Theodore so we'll
should be a walllover to Richmond.
There is. however man from Ne
braska to reckon with, not to mention
the irrepressible Hearst of New York.
After all, the crux of the contest will
be, who of the three can most surely
carry New York, Hobson, Bryan OF
Hearst? 1t is, from present appear
ances, the same old question at the
same old stand. 1t is the question that
has dominated national politics since
the days of civil strife, and it promises
to be as insistent, persistent and per-
vaslve in 1908 as it ever has been But
why should not Captain Hobson be as
available in New York as lie is in Ala
bama? He is well established as a
national figure.
