In barring their private grounds to the

FRIDAY, ARIL as, 1908.
A NOTABLE MEETING.

The Sunday School Convention which is to meet in Montgomery next week. will draw representatives from every county. and possibly every community. in the State. It will be seen, therefore. that the results for this city will be beyond computation if the delegates are received in such manner as to send them away we'll pleased with Mont gomery. Our citizens have never yet failed in what was expected of them in the way of courtesy and attention to the stranger and the visitor.
 The number of delegates promises to be SO large that the committee having the matter of accommodations in hand would be glad to have all of our people who can take any of the visitors to their homes to communicate at once with MT. R. o. Biakey or Judge Arnis- tead Brown. Many have already done this, but it Is hoped that many more will do so today or tomorrow.
 !, There is hut little time now in which to act. Montgomery ought to put her best foot foremost and increase her wel-earned reputation as the city for great public gatherings.

INCOME TAX.

Information from Washington is to the effect that the Democratic Senators are solidly in faver of an amendment to the tarir bill providing for an. in come tax. It is evident that the Re- publicans are divided on the question because Senator CumInins. of Iowa, has introduced an income tax measure. Senator Aldrich. who has heretofore had his way with the Republicans in such matters is doing all he can to kill the proposition. The question of an on whether or not enough Republican Senators will unite with the Democrats to carry it. It promises te be the most interesting feature of the tariff bill that will come before the Senate.
 While Democratic sentiment very generally inolines to an income tax as a means of raising revenue. 1t is not a demand of the Denver platform. as many seem to think 1t is. As The Phil adelphia Record says:
 The Democratic National Convention at Denver declared in favor of an in- come tax as soon az Congress should be enabled to enact 1t by an amend ment to the Federal constitution. In view, however. of the dif1cu1ties and delays that such an amendment would be apt to encounter. even If 1t should be finally ratified by sufficient num- come tax in the Senate have concluded that the best way of realizing the ob ject is by direct legislation. They will urge that because Of the growing ex- penditures of the Federal Governme mt an income tax Is needed now in order to relieve the masses of the people of burdens that are entailed upon them by system that pours more revenues into the coffeFs of corporations and trusts that into the public hsc. Of this ground they hold that there is no come tax than now, when Congress ia called upon to revise the tariff laws.

African Corn.

Albany Herald,
 Parts of India and Egypt have at various times in the past been regard ed as possible competitors of the Uni ted States in the production of cotton but we must confess that we were scarcely prepared for the announce ment that South Africa bids fair to become a competitor in the production of corn. With the settlement of South Africa there appears to be opening up a country of whose resources the world knows little and whose possibilities are as yet but scratched.
 Hut we confess to have been some what surprised at the announcement of the arrival in New York recently of | shipload of corn from South Africa which Is said to be the equal in quality of any grown in the United States. Ma live corn oh the New foFk market at the African product laid down in New York is said to have cost only 5S l-2 cents.
 Africa cannot amount to much for some time to come, but the mere fact that the grain can be brought to this country In any. quantity and sold at q profit less than the ruling market the importance of the American farmer being awake to the necessity of adopt ing the most improved methods to in- crease the yield per acre and decrease the cost of production.
 Here in Southwest Georgia we are going to have trial of new and im- proved methods In corn growing this year. Already hundreds of prize acres have been planted. the yields from which will be entered in the contest for the cash prizes offered by The Herald for the best, second best and third best yields of corn grown on an acre in South west Georgia. This corn growing cor, test will be educational If the rules laid down for those who engage in 1t are carried out in good faith, and we will know more about how to grow corn and what 1t costs to produce the grain in this section when the. returns from this years planting are all in than we ever knew before.

ASKING auEsrroNs.

The esteemed state paper as The Co., iumbia state is sometimes called by disrespectfui contemporaries. has an unfortunate habit of asking questions for the purpose of stirring up contro-. versy. Forgetful of the old saying that fool can ask questions that . wise man cannot answer, or words to that effect, 1t puts queries that 1t cam not answer for itself and then guys the brethren because they do not send In satisfactory solutions--and none Is satisfactory to it. Here is late de- Ifverance:
 The brethren of the Round Table do not seem to get together very well on this simple question that we put to them in regard to the name of the in- hssss1s Rhs NapfoIS ef Wy9maSag fanan.rk took long shot with the unhappy "Wyomingler The Montgomery Advertiser, paipsbiy groggy, ventured something so ina Now The Charlotte Observer hopes that 1t may never have any more difficulty In coming across than in this case and declares that the people of Wyom. fndisns Sefore Sf them It Is doubtful. however. whether The Observers des- isnation would be we'll taken in Wyo- ming, But The Norfolk yirginian-P Pilot goes them all one worse and votes for sWyomingian. taking it that we may find "hoary precedents" in the case of such words as Californian. Hungarian, and the like Wyoming ends in ing, California ends in mia Hungary ends in ry:, and as these adjectiva1 forms are almost invariably dependent upon the character of the hnal syllable of the noun, we fail emphatically to find any "hoary precedents" in the words cited by sthe too cock-sure virginian- Pilot. s
 So there they all are--yariant as the shade by the light, qufvertng aspen made. But, say. sure enough. what is a resident of wyoming called?
 Whats the good of snswering ques- ton when no answer will be satisfac- tory to the proponent? We suggested "wyomites" and "wyominigsters," but neither was satisfactory to this self constituted pedagogue. Perhaps Wyo- mingalese would please it--or Wyo- mingolians.

The c. Q. P.,s snare .
Who ls to Run the Rallroad. i,

Memphis CommeTcial-A Appeal ~ rates. aeR we Ws mesS sih the Lesslafure. I @ TSs average State Legislature is not com posed of the wisest men in the com monwealth. Occasionally men of excel lent ability go to the Legislature for . special purpose. such as the procure- ment of new charter for city. But the average member is a politician. and ne goes to the Legislature to advance his own political fortunes. .
 We should say as a general proposi. ton. that a State Legislature is just About the most Incompetent body in the world to manage a great business
 Yet the assumption of such powers by Legislatures has brought on general confusion, which. lt seems to us, the Supreme Court of the United States ought to straighten out. .-,.. recently have been rendered that have only served to add to the confusion. The Missouri e-eent rate law was not permit a sufficient profit In some cases and that 1t caused actual loss in others. This was pronounced victory for the railroads,
 took a peculiar form. The faiiroa ds were divided by the Legislature into four classes. and a different rate was fixed for each clas. No scientific .sys- been followed The railroad that had the most friends got into the most ia vorable class Another road was con- signed to the worst class out of a spirit of revenge The railroad that endorsed the rate law was likely to get a better classification than the road that decided to fight 1t in. the courts.
 Judge Jones rendered an opinion against this law. but he has been re- versed by the Federal Court of Appeals at New Orleans, The railroads will fixed by inc State and win have to prove that they can't make money un- der those rates. Thus some of the roads have virtually been sentenced to lose money for several months. This, of course, was decisive defeat for the railroads.
 This sort of thing is certainly not good for the railgpad business. It rel.- ders the businAss too uncertain, A company hardly knows what to do about deyelopiAG it's system or. perfect ing It's equipHsents It. can newer tell when 1t may De required by hostile Legislature to run its business at a loss. The Supreme Court ought to de- eide unequivocally whether state can fix general rate applicable to all railroads running through it; whether Il State cen fix a rate for each railroad. i. whether the State can compel road that Is allowed in its charter to charge whether 1t is just to compel a com pAny to charge a losing rate, and to lose money for a certain period. in or der to show that the law IS unjust; whether 1t is proper that a great busi- ness upon which hinges the prosperity of the country. should be at the mercy of every aggregation of law makers

curious condition of affairs exists In the town of Dunkirk. Indiana, ow- ing to the fact that the town is located in two counties, the county line dIvid- ing the town into two practically equal parts Recently elections were held in the two counties on the question of prohibition and one county voted for it and tho other against it. consequently, the town presents the unusual condi- ton of being half wet and half dry. We should say that such a condition must be mighty convenient for both sides. When resident of the dry half wants to fill up, he goes across. and when a citizen of the wet side wants to taper of. he also crosses the line. Thus they are mutually helpful and neces. sary to each other and all should be lovely under the peculiar conditions.
