CAPT. LONG RETURNS
 TO HIS COMMAND.

The following from tile New Orleans Pieayene of August l will be of interest to many News readers from the fact that Capt. Long is an old Springdale boy, being a son of J. ]. Long:
 After an absence of thirty days Captain J. l.. Long, commander of the One Hundred and Sixty fourth Company at Jackson Bar racks, who was extending relief to the flood sufferers in Rapides and adjoining parishes, on be- half of the United States Govern ment, returned yesterday morn ing. Captian Long was quite busy all the time that he was away, looking after the wants of the unfortunate inhabitants of the Red River Valley, whose property was inundated, and he did all i'll his power to aid ti1em. He distributed S6, 440 worth of seeds, consisting of millet, tur- nip, potatoes, peas and cabbage, i'll the parishes of Grant, Avo- yelles and Rapides, and in addi- tion to that 100000 pounds of meal and over 10000 pounds of bacon, for which the people in the overflowed districts were deeply appreeiative.
 Captain Long said that some thing like 5000 persons were made destitute by the overflow, and in all about 10000 were af- fected. Approximately one- third of the crops i'll Rapides were destroyed, and one-sixth III two other parishes. The loss incurred was great, but tile people in the overfowed territory are endowed with a spirit of de- termination and energy which in- sures an early return of the pros perity and contentment so quickly dissipated by the waters of the Red River.

succeed in forgetting that such throwing away
was because he feared to Ego back to an old

The Macon Platform.

1t seems that question has sprung up
concerning the contents of the platform
which the Hoke Smith end of the Demo
cratic party adopted at the Convention
held in Macon, Just after his election in
1906.
We therefore give summary of the
document, it being too long for us to pub
lish in full.
The Democracy of Georgia, assembled in
convention, declared it's hostility to tariff for
protection, to the trusts, and to the policy of
allowing representatives Of special interests to
hold positions of power in the counses of the
party Favored direct popular vote in all
primary elections for United States Senators,
State House Officers, Supreme Court and APP
pellate Court Judges. Urged adoption of a
stitutional amendment increasing the State
Senate so as to constitute every county of
10000 or more population a separate senatorial
district. Declared it to be a permanent prin-
ciple of the Democratic party organization that
all qualified white voters, irrespective of past
political affiliations, be admitted to the pri-
mary on the sole condition that they abide the
result thereof. Favored payment by the State
and Counties of the expense of holding pri-
maries, that the poorest citizen might offer
for public office, and advised uniform date
for nominations. Denounced any and every
agent used for corrupting the ballot and urged
that the use of such agents be made criminal
offense Called lobbying and the contributions
of corporations to campaign funds crimes
against the public welfare and demanded law

Yet doke "permitted" one that was
called for June 4th-which is about twice
the limit he himself had fixed.
And to make it worse, he tried to es-
cape criticism for his flop by declaring
in his speeches that he had never opposed
a primary called so late as June.
Forgot that inaugural Speech you see.
The reform to which Governor Smith
gave first place in his address, when he
took the oath of office, was the suppress
sion of Lobbyists.
They haven't been suppressed yet.
The legislature threw out the bill. But
the Governor, in his McRae speech, said
he had no criticism to place on the legis-
lature. Then he could not have cared
much for the anti-lobby bill
Free passes were to be made illegal
but they weren't.
The position of the Teffersonian in the
matter of the forfeiture of railroad char
tiers, for misuse of franchise, was quoted
and commended by the Governor, and he
solemnly warned the railroads that they
had better mend their manners, else they
would have to face suits for cancellation
of charters
Yet the very carefully drawn resolu-
tons, prepared for the purpose of ripping
up the cover which conceals the illegal
doings of the Central Railroad, could
never be carried through the legislature.
At the last moment, Hoke Smith lieu
tenant moved to lay the Hardeman reso-
lutions upon the table.
They are there yet.
This side-tracking of the resolutions
was done by Senator Fielder, of Macon,
who introduced Governor Smith when the
latter spoke in Macon during the recent
campaign
There was promised general primary
law, fixing the time of the election not
more than sixty days before the regular
October election, thus avoiding the vic
ous practice of re-electing members
whose record of service under the pre-
ceding election is unfinished.
The legislature failed to enact such
law.
And the manner in which Governor
Smith himself Topped on the matter
