SOFT AND SLOW DOWN
THERE IN SUMTER.

From the Augusta Chronicle.
Down in Tom HudsOn's town
they are emphasizing the fact that
Slaton's friends were those who
sent Tom Watson to Baltimore. -
Savannah Press.
But Tom Hudson went to Thorn
son. Oh, yes, Tom treked it to the
McDuffie Mecca-and came away, so
we are told, like he went.
That is to say, he didn't have to
pay excess baggage" on the politi-
cal support thai the mighty man O.
Thomson promised him. Quite the
contrary. AS a matter of fact, Tom
Hudson might have considered him
self entitled to a free ride back to
Atlanta-for all the good the trip
did him.
The story is, that Tom dropped
down to Thomson one night, not so
long ago, from Atlanta; that he reg
istered at the Knox house, intending
to remain over night; but that, on
second thought-there being so
many other guests there for the
night-he called the negro porter
aside and said he wanted to get a
team Ito go to the country"
He went-and took the 1870 a. m.
Georgia train back to Atlanta. Qui-
ct and easy like, and without getting
his name in the Thomson papers.
We don't say it's so, but we have
taxed to several very veracious gen
tlemen who said it was so.
Not that we care rap, either way;
for everybody to his taste" as the
old woman said when she kissed the
cow. But we don think anybody who
tried to get Tom Watson's support
and failed has any call to throw
stones at the fellow who tried and
succeeded. At best, ones as bad as
the other, so far as this particular
kind of politicking is concerned
The only gubernatorial candidate
of late years who hasn't thrown out
political net for Tam o TamsOn, SC
far as we know and believe, is your
Uncle Joe Hill Hall of Bib, b'gosh
Uncle Joe generally totes his own
frying pan, and don't swing on no
body's gate" that we've ever heard
tell of. For Uncle Joe is something
of a political steam-roller himself
when he gets to going good. Ant
there are few ADLER or more honest
men in Georgia, or anywhere else
for all his megaphonic manner ant
unshorn appearance.
He'd make the people of Georgia
one of the best governors they've
had in a generation.

1.-THE PORT OF MISSING MEN"

From the Savannah News.
Forty human bodies were f1shed
out of the waters of New York har-
Dor during the month of May. Most
of them were not identified and were
consigned to unmarked graves in the
potter's field. 1t was ordinarily a
case of rattle his bones over the
stones. he's only pauper that no.
body owns"
The toll of the river and harbor at
New York has totaled $50 since the
beginning of the year. Some of the
drownings have been due to acct
dent, but, according to the records,
most Of them were the periods vol
unfairly put to unhappy and unsuc-
cessful lives. 1t is such an easy
matter to fall off the dock! And
the kindly tide will give a surcease
Of sorrow.
1t has been said that "all things
are true of New York" Nothing is
truer of the great city than that the
human item is but an atom, a grain
of dust. One thousand five hundred
and seventy-five individuals were re-
ported missing" to the New York
police between the beginning Of the
year and the last of May. The pro-
portion of them that went into the
river or the harbor was relatively
small, but the others are just as eff
fectively missing" A sad circum-
stance in connection with the great
total of disappearance is that most
Of these who have dropped out of
sight are girls and young women.
There is no telling what fate has
overtaken them, but when more than
fifteen hundred persons are miss
ing" from one city in the space of
five months it is evident that some
thing is lacking in the social system.
And the chances are that the police
did not hear of all of those who were
missing" 1t sometimes occurs that
a family will hide a disappearance
for fear of scandal.
In two years, it is stated, there
have been upwards of five thousand
disappearance in New York city.
Men and women-the latter princi-
paIly-have nicely dropped out of
sight and eventually out of mind.
Reported to the police, they have
represented a line on the blotter
with a date; that and nothing more.
Behind it runs the gamut of tragedy,
of ruin and desperation and despair
But who cares?

FREIGHT RATE INCREASE.

The Georgia railroad commission
is to be commended for its timely
action in taking cognizance OF the
proposed advance of freight rates IN
the south and in opening the way Tor
organized protest against increases
which apparently are unjust ana
which would probably cost the ship
ners and the public millions of dol
lars a year.
These proposed changes in freight
classification for the south and the
southeast are said to involve an ad-
vance of rates on some seven hun
dred articles that are commonly
Skinned and a decrease of rates on
three hundred and twenty-seven ar
ticles that are infrequenty shipped
In response to an invitation OF
Chairman Gambler of the Georgia
commission representatives from
number of other southern commits
sions and from trade bodies met
in Atlanta on last Monday to con
slider carefully the projected in
crease in rates and to decide upor
some line of action if it were
deemed best for the protection Of
public interests.
The business leaders of the soutl
should stand urited in such a situa
ton as this.

Your Task.

Somewhere in the golden day
Waits a task, all golden, too,
For each pilgrim on the way
One for me and one for you.
And YOUR task is not for me,
Neither must I leave you mine;
individuality
So that my task must go undone
And yours if each does not his
own.
These tasks are golden in the sun,
But turn as lead when day is done.
And darkness finds them incomplete;
And when there dawns another
This lead has bound the pilgrims
feet,
And heavy, heavy grows the way
Where hath the happy day its song
But from the heart that feels MS
strength
To labor with the day along
And earn his right to rest at
length?
There are not so many beliefs
prevalent as most men are given to
think. A closer study reveals a null
titude of mere excuses behind which
some men will attempt to defend
their actions.
Thoughts are indispensable SER
wants, but like most other servants
must be directed constantly or they
fall into Improbable habits.
A great man is recognized as such
by his fellows because he has done
great things and not because OF any
inherent greatness.
Build up thy character carefully.
Let there be no weaker point or an
adverse wind may find it out.
The greatest achievement is that
which most develops the achiever.
No one else can make your life
nearly so miserable as you can.
Faith, Honor and Integrity
Are well Success trinity.
