In Our Opinion.

Most Of the anonymous letters and
notices which are being received In
this part Of the county are written
by some individuals who have some
grudge at the party warned, and are
only masqueradiug as Night Riders.
Such as warning the negroes TO
leave, according TO our way Of think
ing, is all tommy-rot and there is
little or no danger Of such threats
being put into execution. The con-
servative, lav-abiding citizens will
not tolerate il. The man who posts
such notices is laying the foundation
OF future trouble for himself, and
will find to his sorrow that the Law
is very merciless when once he Is
within It's tolls. Graves and Gala
way counties arc making It very un-
pleasant for those who participated
In the business in those counties, and
our advice to the bogus night rider
OF Fulton county is TO quit-while
YOU can and before 1, is too late.

To Rural Route Patrons

Postmaster, q. E. Nuns, de-
sires to call attention to the prac-
tice of some patrons of rural de-
livery of placing loose coins in
their boxes each time they desiSe
to dispatch letters instead of sup-
plying themselves in advance of
their needs. This practice i'm
poses undue hardship on the rural
carriers in removing loose coins
from boxes and delays them on
the service of their routes. The
postmaster, therefore urgently re-
requests the patrons of rural de-
livery to provide themselves and
keep on hand a supply of stamps
consistent with and In advance OF
their needs. It is also very de-
sirable that rural patrons place in
their mail boxes small detachable
cups of wood or tin in which to
place coins when necessary, in
purchasing supplies of stamps.

Governor Magoon is still In
Washington where he has come
to lay before the Secretary of war
four problems in connection with
his eminently successful admin
i~stration Of Cuban affairs, the only
problems that he has been unable
to settle In Havana. Tho four
knotty questions are the Cienfue-
gos water and Sc wer system, the
Havana harbor improvement, the
Marianne telephone system and
the Havana sewering and paving
contract, all four of which involve
concessions granted prior to Gov
eYnor Magoon's administration.
His reception by President
Roose vele aud Secretary Taft was
not cordial and both speak in
terms of highest commentator
OF his wise and taotful handling
of Cuban affairs. There has been

Storios have gone out from
Washington to the effect that q
"truce' has been patched up be-
tween Senators Lodge and Crane
OF Massachusetts. The alleged
friction was attributed to the fact
that Senator Lodge has been and
is a staunch supporter Of Secretary
Taft for President, while Senator
Crane has preferred to postpone
his decision for the time being
and has consistently declined to
align himself with the interests of
any candidate. As u matter Of
fact neither Senator has swerved
from his position in the political
field, but this laradical difference
has In no way impaired their
personal relations or diminished
their friendship. There is no
good reason for believing that
either Senator purposes to inter-
fsre with sSthe selection of the
Massachusetts, delegates to the
national convention. OF course
the delegation will not be instruct
ed. 1t never 10 In hat State. One
statement Mr.. Crane has invaTia-
bly, made and that Is that he
wants the Republican party to
nominate the strongest candidate
in the Republican party, and
there is every reason to believe
that if June 10Th, MIR. Crane has
decided that Mr.. Taft 10 the strong
est man, the Secretary will re-
ceive his vote. Mr.. Lodge ia OF

majority of the Republican party
of Massachusetts favor the nom.

WASHINGTON LETTER
MATTERS OF GENERAL INTER-
EST FROM THE CAPITAL

A committee Of manufacturers,
headed by ]. w. Van Cleave, OF
st. Louis, Chairman Of the Ma
tional Manufacturer Association
Is In Washington this week to
urge the creation of a commission
to consider and make a report on
tariff schedules, preparatory to q
general revision. The committee
declared that the movement for q
tariff commission was backed by
Che President, Senator Beverage
aud two million voters, and that 1t
came to Washington to ~"foRce'
Congress to adopt the Bsveridge
tariff commission bill. However,
the committee will return to Its re-
spective homes q sadder but q
wiser body. A few hours In this
city were sufficient to convince
most OF them that Congress was
not to be "foPced." They have
also discovered that the President
does not consider this an opportu-
nate time for anything looking
toward tariff revision, but believes
that the wise policy to pursue is to
have the Republican party oom.
NIT itself, in its national platform
to revision next year, and that
special session of Congress bt
called for that purpose by thu
next President in the spring o
1909.
