IN KENTUCKY.

1t is reported that Ex-Governor
Beckham of Kentucky, convinced that
the Legislature of that state will not
elect him to the United States SEN
ate, will break the deadlock by vol
unfairly Withdrawing from the con-
test. In that event it is believed the
protesting democrats can be induced
to unite on man and thus send a
democrat from Kentucky to Wash
ington. If the report as to Mr.. Beck
ham S intention is true then it may
be said that his course is highly
creditable and patriotic from a party
standpoint. He has heretofore been
a remarkably successful young poll
tician, and his rise has been rapid.
He was nominated in the primary for
the United States senate, and now
to miss it on account of a revolt
in his own party because of his
alleged machine methods will be a
bitter disappointment to him.

UNApPRECIATED PRAISE.

1t is talked in Washington that
the one thing, and the only one, in
the democratic commendatiOn of his
recent message that made President
Roosevelt vince was the comments
of the Hon. Jeff Davis, United States
senator from Arkansas, who once re-
fused to sit on the same platform
with the president. With character
istic frankness the Arkansas states
man said: THAT is the best demo-
cratic doctrine | have heard emanate
from a republican source. In fact,
the president has put it more aptly
and strongly than | could do it my
self. He has in that message adopt
ed the views which | have so long
entertained and so often expressed.
In fact, | would have to take up one
hole in my belt and come again, as
Roosevelt has put it ahead of me
in this deliverance.
And the republican anti-adminis-
tratiOn papers in the east are re-
printing with much gusto what Jeff |
Davis said.

MORE "RAG MEN" NEEDED.

The United States bought in 1906
as much as $516,3S7 worth of old
cotton rags and $170,931 worth of
silk and wooden rags of Germany and
allowed perhaps two or three times
that much to be destroyed within its
borders. Eighty per cent. of the
rags sold for consumption in Ger
many go to paper mills.
With greater economy and thrift
than is displayed in the United States
rags and old paper enter to the ex-

GOOD STREETS.

Albany has woke up to the import
ance of good streets. We see from the
dispatches that the council of that
town has undertaken in earnest the
work of improving its thoroughfares,
and will spend $4,000 for better
streets this year. Lime rock will be
used in matchmaking them, and a
rock crusher and a one-hundred ton
roller will be bought. A town can
not have a more valuable asset than
good streets, and but few towns can
be in worse condition than Dawson
in this respect A great deal OF
money is. spent and a great deal OF
work is done on the streets of Daw-
son, but the trouble is that nothing
of a permanent nature is done. Daw-
son needs and should have better
streets.

THE GROWING FLEET.

While the main body of the Ameri-

continent a new fleet comes into be-
ing. Out on the west coast the Cal
ifornia has taken her trials with
great success. On the Atlantic side
the Mississippi, New Hampshire and
Idaho are being prepared for COM
mission. Then there is to be no for
getting the Michigan and South Caro-
lima among the battleships in course
of construction, and the North Caro-
lima and Montana as monster ar
mored cruisers of a type not much
represented in our navy.
Admiral Evans is making a fine
sailing record. The shipyards are
filing the places left vacant on the
east side of the nation. The past is
rich in story of the prOWess of bat
tie. Time was when there was not
a great deal of world-respect for the
navy-the shOpkeeper sail
ors-but the situation has changed
since 1898 and continues to change.
The best insurance for place ana
power in the United States is found
in a great navy.

Too V1e7vs Of Coz. Smiths 'Renuncatl0n.
Hon. Tom Watson Is Caustic in
His Comment.


! From the Weekly JefferSonian.
! In the announcement of Governor
Hoke Smith that he will not be a
candidate for the United States SEN
ate the ingenious Atlanta Journal
discovers an act of sublime self
denial. Properly handled by the
able and resOurceful Journal the an
nOuncement becomes a great renun-
citation. One would suppose that
Hoke had but to say 'Barkis is will
in, ;" and the senatorial Peggotty
would have been his.
How absurd!
1t would have hardly been decent
for the governor to have improVised
brand new set of convictions on
national finance; and it is certain
that no candidate could be elected
to the United States senate who does
not come out, positively, against ma
tional banks of issue, and in favor
of the issue OF all currency by the
government.
A gold standard man closely iden-
titled with the repeal of the silver
purchase law, and with the Cleveland
bond issues, might possibly win out
in a scrap for the senate, but he
would certainly have to hustle. 1t
would not be a mere case of getting
it by saying:
"Barkis is willin'."
The gold standard conspiracy has
already cost the country two dis
tressing panlcs, and this would be
a mighty bad time for a gold stand
ard man to run for a national office
anywhere in the south or west.

of our nations life. Without him
our country would be weak, insigniti-
cant. poor and unexpected, but with
him we are powerful, we are rich,
we are hOnored, we are strong Then
why should not 1.-The man behind the
pillow" have a voice? Why should. he
not speak and be heard? Why
should he not command and be
obeyed? Why should he not say
go" and the balance of our people
go? Why should he not say come,
and the classes of our nation come?
Again we ask why, and we call on
the world to answer why, the farm
ers should not be the most respected,
the most intelligent and the most
commanding people OF our nation.
We do not want to pat the farmer
on the back, or boost him, but we
simply want to express facts, and
lust here we want to say that ii the
farmer does not occupy the place TO
which he is entitled he has nobody
to blame but himself. If he is will
ing to sit idly by and see others
usurp the authority and powers that
belong to him, and grind the very
life blood out of his wife and chill
dren, certainly he can look upon him
self as nothing else but sorry
knaVc.

Hon. Pleas StOvall RepudiateS
the Watson YardStiCk.
From the Savannah Press.

From the Savannah Press.
Unless we mistake the Hon. HOke
Smith he is not the man to be de-
tered from any course Of action by
Mr. Thomas Watson.
We regard as distinctly gratuitOus
the intimation in The JeffersOnian
several days ago that Mr.. Smith dare
not run for the senate. According
to Mr.. Watson no candidate could be
elected to the senate who does not
come out for the issue of all currency
by the government. Mr.. Watson S
candidate must come out positively
against national banks of issue. A
gold standard man identified with the
repeal of the silver purchase law and
with the Cleveland bond issue, he
thinks, would have a hard time win
ming out.
In our humble opinion Mr.. Smith
has nothing to be ashamed of in his
currency record He stood out dur
ing the Cleveland administration with
the business men in favor of sound
money. The old contention that
there was a job in the Cleveland
bond issue is threadbare. In order
to maintain the credit OF the country
and to preserve the legal reserve
bonds were issued and the gold bal
ance was kept intact.
Mr.. Hoke Smith may not be en-
dorsed in all the acts of his admin
istration, but in our judgment the
one upon which he could most conf
IDENTIFY appeal to the people would
be his connection with the admins
tratiOn of Grover Cleveland.

L. Grippe and J. Pluvius have been

calmness of the calm is something

our farmers died on Saturday. They
succumbed to the prevailing epidem-
ic-not grippe-but axe grip. Hence

The legislature of the new state

gia a close race for freakishness.
One of it's latest acts provides that
hotel sheets shall be not less than
nine feet long, and that all hotel
and restaurant crockery shall be

eye" A contemporary who believes
in the simple and unsophisticated

Good EoR THE GOVERNOR.

The Dublin Times, in its last issue
printed this paragraph.
We stand flat-footed on one
Dlank of Governor Smiths plat
form-his latest that Georgians
should keep their money at
home. The governor could make
the Georgia merchant richer by
millions if he would make few
of his old-time campaign speech
es along this line.
The News agrees with all of the
above. We have been conducting q
campaign of this kind for months
and we welcome Governor Smith as
an able and influential recruit
Among other things the governor
said that it is as true as gospel is
this:
The man who spends his dol
lar at home will get that dollar
again sooner or later. The man
who sends his dollar to some
distant point will never see it
again, and he makes it impOssi-
bic for that dollar to do any
service to the local enterprises
and local people who would be
benefited by it's use.
1t is a serious matter to take
money out of the channels of
business and send it away so
that it cannot be used to pay
the wages of the men and WO-
men and girls who have part in
our industrial life and who are
expected pay out their money
so that in turn it will furnish
business for the butcher, the ba-
ker. the mechanic, the farmer
and the merchant, thus keeping
our state prosperous and our
wealth increasing.
What chance has a Georgia
man to get hold of a dollar that
is in Chicago or New York?
If the dollar is in his own
town and he does all that he
can to keep it there by patroniz-
ing his home folks he will get
it again many times, for a dollar
that is kept at home goes round
and round.
