WILSON TO HARVEY.

VIII they kiss and make up?
Professor Wilson has written Colonel
Harvey of Harpers Weekly an alb
ject letter of apology for his rude
treatment, from which the following
is an extract:
My Dear Colonel: Every day |
am confirmed in the judgment that
my mind is one-track road, and
can run only one train of thought
at a time. Forgive me and
forget my manners. am very
much ashamed of myself"
Being himself a gentleman Colonel
Harvey will, of course, forgive. But
can he forget?
Colonel Henry Watterson, as a
parting shot in reply to Governor
Wilson, said somebody has lied, -
withdrew from the muss and liked
off to his winter home in Florida.
The rucus has furnished the
country some diversion, but it is not
very inspiring to democrats on the
eve of national campaign.

A SOUTHERN STATESMAN
WITH A REAL ISSUE.
From the Macon Telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph
The disposition to pitch the ma
tional democratic campaign along
the lines of personalism instead of
principle is a mistake. If the Big
Business people are Objectionable
if the trusts are harmful-the way
to get at them is to dig the earth
from beneath their feet. Remove
the cause of their too great aggran-
dizement-remoYe the protection
which has made certain infant in
dustries powerful cOrmorants. This
would make the tariff the paramount
issue. This would go to the root of
the trouble. But to push the tariff
question to the background and
make the fight on individuals would
be to blunder. A great party in a
great country cannot afford to adopt
such a line of policy. The tariff is
the mother of trusts. Go after the
tariff and the trusts will suffer for
want of sustenance. The democratic
party has won but two victories in
more than a half century, and both
were won on the tariff as an issue.
If victory comes this year it will
come in that same way.
This would make Oscar Underwood
the logical the only real available
candidate, if it were not for the fact
of his Southern birth, and we are not
sure that that is an inSurmountable
barrier, after fifty years.
We would really like to see a
Southern man like Underwood-a
clean man, a conservative man, a
man who is the embodiment of
the tariff issue, consistent and not an
oppOrtunist-put up to the Northern
democracy. We would like to see
them (the Northern democrats) test
ed. We have been supporting their
men for half hundred years. We
would like to try with a real genuine
Southern statesman like the Alabam-
ian. We are accustomed to defeat.
1t would be worth something even
in defeat to see what the North
would do.
The Telegraph advocated this pol
icy twelve years ago, even to the
extent of suggesting a secession from
the Northern democracy, but we
found that the Southern democrats
were not ready for it. Whenever
they are ready, with the right kind of
a candidate, The Telegraph will join
them.
At present we are waiting and
watching, and we suggest that our
readers do not commit themselves
too early.

Famous Hymns

People who delight in hymn sing
ing at home and at church and chap
ell know but little of the history of
the hymns they sing. Most of them
have history as we'll as a romance.
The beautiful hymn, Abide With Me,
was written by Henry Francis Lyle
at Brixham, on the shore of Torbay,
says an English exchange, and it was
his last composition. He had hidden
farewell on Sunday evening to his
congregation, and after strolling
down his garden to the seashore he
returned to his study when the sun
had set, and an hour later had writ
ten the hymn and shown it to his
family
Another favorite evening hymn,
Sun of My Soul, was written by Ca
non Elerton in 1860 for a choral
festival. Those who have read New
mans Apologize are aware of the cir
cumstances under which the famous
hymn, Lead, Kindly Light, was writ
ten. The music is by DR.. Dykes, of
Durham, to which the cardinal at
tributed it's success more than to his
own words. Wesley's Christmas
hymn, Hark, the Herald Angels Sing,
originally written, Hark, How All
the Welkin Rings, is to be found in
almost all hymnals and has been
translated into many languages.
When Toplady, in 1875, wrote his
Rock af Ages he could not have con-
ceived that it would become so wide
ly popular among all shades of re-
ligious opinion. 1t was this hymn
that Mr. Gladstone translated into
three languages, and which the

THE TEST FOR ALL TEACHERS

Under plans and rules recently
adopted by the state board of educa-
ton probably a thousand more teach
ars will have to stand the examina-
ton this summer than is usually the
case, and the total number who will
appear for the June examinations is
expected to be more than six thous-
and.
There are now hundreds of teach
ars in Georgia schools who have new
er stood the examinations usually re-
quired of state teachers. These are
IN certain town and local systems
like Dawson's, for instance-which,
for various reasons, have never re-
CURED the teachers to stand them.
All of these must stand the examina-
hons to be held in June.
The state board provided, how
ever, that local and independent sys-
TENS in towns, cities and districts
may give their own examinations If
they first submit the questions to the
state superintendent of education
and it be shown that they are up to
standard.
The board made another innova-
ton by providing for examinations
oi two kinds-frst, the primary;
second, general elementary. The
6re+ will he given to teachers in the
primary department and the second
is similar to the examinations which
nave been heretofore given to all az
plicants.

TWO FAMOUS ONE-EYED MEN.
rom the Popular Magazine.

From the Popular Magazine.
There have come out of Edgefield
county, South Carolina, two brilliant
and famous one-eyed men-United
States Senator Benjamin R. Tillman
and D. A. Tomphins, the manufact-
uring genius of the Piedmont sec
ton.
While Tillman has done his work
and fighting in the arena of politics
Tompkins has confined his energies
to manufacturing and the CONNER
cial development of the South.
AS young man Tompkins went to
Pennsylvania and became a mechan-
ic. After a trip to Missouri he re-
turned to the South, and gradually
worked up to his prestige of the
present day. He is now an eminent
authority on all matters affecting the
trade of the South, and has written
many books on such subjects as good
roads, Nchimneys, immigration, child
labor, cooking, manufacturing and
cotton

COTTON IN THE FIELDS.
From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
Judging from reports that are
finding their way into the public
prints there is a vast amount of cot
ton still in the fields. Practically all
of it will remain there because the
weather has been so bad during the
last month that it would be graded
SO low if harvested that it wouldn't
bring enough to pay for picking, gin
ming and marketing. The seed would
be the chief reason for gathering it,
but even the value of the seed would
not be enough in most cases to justi-
fly gathering it.
There has been a good deal of
speculation as to the amount of cot
ton Of last years crop that has been
lost because of the lack OF labor to
gather it. The estimates run all the
way from 100000 to 100000
bales. We published a dispatch
from Statesboro giving figures show
ing the number of acres of cotton
unpicked in Bulloch county. If con-
ditiOns in other parts of the state
and in other states are anything like
they are in that county the estimate
of 100000 bales yet ungathered is
not extravagant.
We have mentioned fields of 100
ito 300 acres that haven't been pick
ed, fields that, it was said, would
yield bale to the acre, and there
seems to be evidence of many such
fields. They were neglected because
labor couldn't be had. An interest
ing question is, would labor have
been found if cotton had been bring
ing l 5 cents a pound and cotton seed
was as high as it was when the
crop of 1910 was harvested? The
labor available might have exerted
itself little more, but it is claimed
that the crop in this state was so
big that the labor to harvest it could
not be obtained no matter if the
price had been much higher than it
was or is now A tremendously big
crop from a financial standpoint is
no more to be desired than a very
short one.

Thrilling Memories and Associa-
lions Connected With Them.

Prince Consort asked for when on
his deathbed.
1t was this hymn, too, that was
sung when the London went down in
the Bay of Biscay in 1866. The voices
of the people singing Rock of Ages
on the doomed ship were the last
thing heard by those fortunate
enough to escape. 1t was this hymn,
too, that Gen. Stuart, the brave cav
airy leader of the Southern states,
sang with his dying lips.
Jesus, Lover of My Soul, is hymn
around which many traditions and
sacred associations cling. The story
connected with its origin may be
Legendary, but it is no less beautiful
It's author, Charles Wesley, was sit
ting at his desk by an open window
when a bird pursued by hawk flew
in. The bird was saved, for the
hawk feared to follow it. The Incl
dent inspired Wesley to write his
famous lines.
Hallowed by old association and
fraught with many memories are
the great church hymns like the TIE
Deum, which for more than thouS-
and years has been the song of Chris
tendon. 1t was chanted at the bap-
tism of Clovis and sung at the jubilee
of Queen Victoria. 1t was sung also
after AgincOurt and Waterloo, and
on all solemn occasions when the
heart of the people has been moved
to Thanksgiving for victory on land
or sea.
Then there are the Magnificat, the
Virgins hymn, and the Nunc Dimittis,
which Bacon called our sweetest
canticle," both of which are intimate
ly bound up with the stately ritual
of the Catholic church.

UNDERWOOD LOOMS UP.

The Savannah News will not be
surprised to see the fight for the
Southern delegates to the national
democratic convention narrow down
to Underwood of Alabama and Wilson
of New Jersey, in which event, it
says, Underwood will in all probabili-
ty be the winner. The Albanian has
shown himself to be man of ability
and tact, and possessed of the quail
ties of real leadership. His magnifi-
cent leadership of the party in con-
gress has made him a national figure
and won for him the respect and con-
fidence of the entire country. He is
looked upon in all sections as a man
of presidential calibre and the
strongest man the democracy could
put up. Mr. Underwood's candidacy
should appeal especially to the South,
which has never furnished candi-
date for the national ticket, but for
fifty years has furnished most of the
votes.
There now seems to be DISPOSE
ton throughout the country to recog-
nize the Southern democracy, and it
will be mistake not to take advant-
age of it.

that the nomination at Baltimore of

mean one more disaster for the dem
ocrats. Let's not sink the party with

Gratis nominate a man who can win,

VAST SUMS FOR EDUCATION.

While the school population of the
United States increased five per cent
during the last ten years the income
FOR public school purposes increased
more than SO per cent, according to
dgures presented by Fletcher B..
Dresslar of the federal bureau of ed
ucation in a recent report. Despite
this increase he finds that there are
still some states (which are yet
afraid, apparently, to trust the peo-
pie with power to tax themselves for
the adequate support of their public
schools"
Those States" he declares, are
surely out of line with the demo-
cratic faith so strikingly shown by
che figures quoted" The income for
public schools at the beginning of
the 19OO-1910 decade was $2OO,OOO,-
600; at the close it was more than
$40O,000,OO0.

Knows When He Has Enough.

From the Savannah News.

s. Black of New York is going to
demonstrate that he is a wise man
He has got million dollars and is
going to quit business and politics
and all other work and worry, and
live at ease the balance of his life.
1t is stated that when Mr.. Black left
the office Of governor in 1898, turn
ing over the reins to Theodore Roose-
welt, he was $4,000 in debt. He
went to New York city and opened
an office for the practice of law.
Corporation clients found him, be-
cause he is an able man, and soon
there was steady flow of gold into
his strong box. Mr.. Black is now GO
ing back to the farm; which anybody
with a million could we'll afford to

DESTROYS THE TENANT SYSTEM

THE TENANT SYSTEM
The Montgomery Advertiser, in
noting the appearance of the boil
weevil in Alabama, says:
ut is time for our black belt
farmers to look around them. The
boil weevil is now in twelve Ala
bama counties. 1t is as certain to
infest the black belt as the sun is to
rise tomorrow. No sensible man
doubts that the boil weevil will do
far more harm to the black belt
counties than it will to the white
counties south of it. The boil wee
vii in louisiana and Mississippi
has practically destroyed the ten
ant and advancing system. There
will have to be some substitute. 1t
is time for the black belt farmer to
look around him"
This section is the black belt of
Georgia, and farm conditions here
are the same as they are in the black
belt of Alabama. The weevil is due
in Southwest Georgia in two more
years, and its coming will revolution,
ize farming here. The tenant sys-
tenn and the custom OF advancing
money and supplies, in many in
stances even before the laborer
moves on the farm, will of necessity
have to be discontinued.
