GeOrgit to eB Congratulated

Georgia is to be congratulated. 1t
is an ample demonstration that
man gifted with powers as a stump
speaker, such as Gov. Smith un-
doubtedly has, may mislead the ma
jority of the people for a time, but
inevitably digs for himself pit into
which he will fall if he continues in
his course. Gov. Smith dug the pit,
and while we all may feel sorry that
it has been necessary to have him
humiliated in this fashion, we cannot
but feel that it is just retribution and
that he has brought the punishment
upon himself OF course, he will
try to explain the moral of yester--
days lesson away will seek to concot
reasons for his defeat, but the real
reason, regardless as to what he may
say, is that the eyes of the people
were opened to the fact, that he was
a danger and a menace to the ma
terial development of Georgia and
they refused to have the state tied
PROSTATE to the Smith chariot for an.
other term. His power for the next
year is gone and Georgia can breathe

THE COUNT IN SUMTER

Official Count by Commit.
tee Friday.

The county democratic executive
committee met yesterday morning,
compiled the vote of the eight pre-
cincts of Sumter, and announced the
result of Thursdays primary for
Governor and state house officers.
The total vote cast in Sumter was
1882, which was surprisingly small
in view of the large registration and
interest evidenced
AS there are 1900 voters register
ed, it would appear upon the face
of the returns that 420 remained away
from the polls and took no part in
the election.
Hon. w. A. Wright, for comptrol-
Ter general received the highest vote
cast in Sumter, 1882, although sew
eral others among the leaders were
scratched" only one or two votes by
the man of the ballot.

viii Restrain Smithism

81 believe that the defeat of Gov
Smith will have a healthfuI restrain
ing effect upon men of his stamp
throughout the South and the coun-
try at large. 1t is we'll to correct
abuses, but to do that is not neces-
sary to follow the example of Sam
son and tear down the temple of ma
terial prosperity and bring it into
ruins about our heads.
IF corporations do wrong they
should be corrected, but it is not nee
essary to put them in the hands of
receivers to do this. If there are any
grievances to be remedied they should
be remedied, but not in a way that
Injuries the innocent fully as much
if not more than the guilty. And
above and beyond all, the correction of
abuses should not be approached in
a indicative spirit, or with the sole
desire to gain popular favor and poll
tical power, as Gov Smith has done
That will be one lesson of yesterdays S
election that will probably not be
speedily forgotten, lesson that will
be applied to other states than Geor-
gia. The defeat of HOke Smith fur
nishes an illustration of the danger
that always besets the extremist and
the demagOgue. 1t will probably be
taken to heart by other men who have
climbed to positions of political pow
er by similar means and who are
seeking to perpetrate themselves
there by similar methods as were re-
sorted to by Gov. Smith.

'It is a great thing for Georgia;
it is a great thing for the South; it is
a great thing for the country at
large. 1t is the first step toward a
restoration of the era of reasonable
conservatism, toward the era of pro-
per regard for the rights of corpora
tions as we'll as the protection of
the rights of the people. | believe
with this incubus of Gov Smith and
his threats removed our people will
speedily find an Improvement in ma
terial conditions. With Gov Smith as
the states chief executive it was
practically impossible to induce cap
ital to invest in Georgia. All great
public improvements were at
standstill and bid fai~ to remain there.
Capital everywhere, which had for
years looked upon Georgia as a fav-
orite field for investment, as a field
where there were vast Opportuni-
ties, but which had been driven away
by Smiths campaign of two years
ago, will now return to the natural
channels of investment. Men who
had studied the matter Of investments
in electric and gas plants, in street
railroads and other enterprises re-
quiring large investments, will again
be brought to look with favor upon
this field and plans that have laid
dormant, or been abandoned under
the fears inspired by the Smith re-
gime, will again be taken up and
plans laid to spush them to compile
ton. Georgia will speedily share in
every bit of returning prosperity that
comes to the country at large. 1t
is because of this, and not because of
animosity toward Gov Smith person
ally, that the fearful rebuke of yes
terday was administered. 1t was the
expression of the candid judgment of
a hundred thousand or more men who
had thought over the situation, who
had reached the same conclusions, and
who could not be influenced by the
wiles of the demagogue.

New York.-Aaron Banks, a Pine

home many automobiles passed, sta
toned his two sons, James and Jeth-

side with four-weeks-old calf; across

road. James was the lookout, the calf
struggling to reach its bawling moth

Jethro dropped the rope and the
calf rushed toward its mooing ma.
The trap was timed to the fraction

hurting the calf in the air; it fell
lifeless.

and destroyed. Butchers. bakers.
there is scarcely house or store in
the country that does not suffer some
loss from their depredations.
But the chief danger is in the hy-
gienic aspect of the rats. Trichinosis
has been traced to the rats, who infect
the pigs. and subsequently the people
who eat pork. The rapid rise of cpl
depics and plaques has also been
traced to these rodents.
Many attempts have been made to
solve the problem of determination.
the difficulty of which can be appre-
ciated from the fact that they multi
ply at the rate OF 500 year from one
pair. The rat catcher has been abnn-
doned in some docks for poison and
cats, but though these have been
found to keep down the numbers and
lessen the damage. they can do little
toward exterminating the pest.
An experiment has been tried In
Denmark of setting a price of about
penny on the head of each rat
brought in. and by this means more
than 100000 rats were destroyed. The
cost of the experiment was about
$3.50. and 1t is reckoned that the
rats could have done s195,000 worth of
damage.
To organize some scheme on these
lines and, If possible, to get govern
ment aid, will be the aim of the So
ciety If it is constituted. 1t is esti-
mated that rat skins in large quanti-
ties would have a considerable com
mercial value.
In the report of the port of Lon
don sanitary committee, issued to the
court of common council. the total de-
struction of rats for four weeks of
November is given as 1855.
The manager of the London and
India Docks Company said that their
bill for ratcatchers and food for n
large staff of cats was matter of
thousands of dollars every year. and
they still received complaints of dam
age in the sheds and warehouses.
Il do not believe we shall ever be
able to exterminate them," said he;
"at the most we shall be able to limit
the numbers and the damage. Take
Tilbury docks, for instance, with its
acres of marsh land in the vicinity. As
soon as the rats fail to find enough
to eat outside they will come into the
docks and search for it there"
The dock proprietors of the country
and steamship companies spend large
sums to clear their ships of rats.
The damage done among the car
go in the closed hold during a long
voyage, If the rats become numerous,
or among stores of grain" said a dock
official. "it is quite impossible to esti-
mate. Sometimes a whole bale of
cloth or cotton will be ruined by their
gnawing at the ends"
Though the docks are the happy
hunting ground of rats, many ware
houses and old buildings in London
are plagued with them.
