THE SENATORIAL RACE.
tFrom the WASHINGTON Herald.

(From the Washington Herald.)
Virginia has acted wisely. Senator'S
Martin and Swanson have been faith
full servants OF the State, and deserved
the reelection which has been ac-
corded them. 1t is to be hoped how
ever that when the next senatorial
primary is held in Virginia. the cam
paign will be conducted upon a diff
just ended. Abuse is not argument
and the effort to cover an opponent
with obloquy does not blind the pub
lie sight to the shortcomings of those
who adopt such political methods.
This has been proven by the out
come OF the election. The would be
wearers OF the senatorial toga may
have had no chance of success from
the beginning, but they certainly
would have emerged from defeat with
morecredit to themselves If they had
conducted their campaign upon II
higher standard

THE NEGROES or THE SOUTH.

For six years the Georgia State Ag-
vicultural and Industrial Fair Associa-
ton has held an annual fair. This Is
a negro organization. and Its annual
exhibitions have been OF tho largest
benefits 10 the race in that state. as
they have caused the colored people to
take an intelligent interest in aGri-
cultural subjects, and taken in con-
nection with the farmers conferences
which have been held. every year at
the Georgia State College have taught
the negroes that the most desirable
men of their race are the men who
have something. 1t is claimed that
there are now in Georgia l22, 600 farms
owned by negroes, and that $4,000 OF
these farms have been acquired by
them during the last ten years.
This does not look as If the negro
was greatly oppressed in Georgia. and
in all the Southern States. particularly
in the States along the Atlantic, thou

their own estates 1t would be inter-

in bankruptcy because of the failure
of some of his biggest schemes, and
H. Bottomley, editor of the wen
known weekly, John Bull Bottom
ley, facing libel verdicts amounting
to Si57 900, is said to hope with
Hooley to recoup his failing fortunes
from the Wells-Johnson fight.
They are alleged to have offered
Johnson not only all of the purse
for the fight, but also a large per-
centage of the moving picture reve-
nues, expected to prove the gold mine
should the Englishman win.
Although copies of an alleged con
tract between the men have been pub
lished, showing that Johnson is to
get $4,000 and Wells 100000, it is
now charged that both men are tied
up with private contracts.
Wells share under the reported
futures. 1t is pointed out that he
will have a chance in any event, as
Johnson's theatrical season runs al
most up to the moment they are tC
enter the ring. Johnson is fifty
pounds over weight and his easy
manners of life and indulgence have
sOftened him greatly since he arrived
on this side.
According to the general gossip il
sporting circles. if Wells wins the
title he will risk it only against Eng
fish and Australian clubs and make
a fortune, while refusing to NEE
American challengers.
