CROPS IN LOWNDES
ARE MUCH IMPROVED
(Snecial Disnatch to The Iour1

NSpeClal GiSpdIcn 10 Inc Journal
VALDOSTA, Ga, Aug. 3.-Reports
from the cotton crop and other crops
this week show that conditions have
continued to improve during this week.
Cotton is so per cent more promising
than It was two weeks ago. AS an IL
lustration of conditions IN this county,
several farmers who have cotton plant
ed estimated that they will get two or
three times as much cotton from their
crop as they expected they would get
three or four weeks ago. One farmer
who has 20 acres planted thought
some time ago that he would not get
over two or three bales, but he has
raised his estimate now to seven bales
from the 20 acres of Sea Island cot
ton.
Conditions of this kind are prevail
ing all over the country. The weather
has been ideal for two weeks, but show
ers have fallen during the past day
or two and have helped conditions. IT
the season continues good the crop will
be much better than expected.

several of the Democrats who
aspire to the Democratic nomi-

them of crimes they know they
are not guilty of. They want
to run the Republican party and
dictate its nominees, but their
views of themselves are so ex-
aggerated that they think that
Job too small for them. and they
imagine they should be per-
mitted to dictate the policies
and candidates of the Demo
cratic party as well.
TO their view it is of no sig
niticance that some of the big
men prominent in the greatest
of the Trusts are openly espous-
ing the cause of Roosevelt, but
every rumor, unverified and
otherwise. that some Democrat
who is rich favors Wilson, or

BILE evidence that wall Street"
is trying TO grab the control of

A Campaign of ViIification

As usual. Mr.. Roosevelt says
the fellow who asserts anything
that is not pleasant TO the ex-
President is a liar. 1t never
varies. The other fellow is
always liar, and will continue
to be Notwithstanding the fact
that the letter in which Mr.
Roosevelt said he would not be
a candidate for President this
year, and which was written
last June, is now made public
from date-line To his signature.
Every one at all familiar with
the situation has known all
along that Mr.. Roosevelt had
repeatly declared that he would
not be a candidate. He had
been urged by the opponents Of
President Taft, who had visited
him from time TO time. and
months ago one of his idolators
in this city and several else
where gave out statments
(which they took pains TO assert
were made after conference
with Roosevelt stating that he
would not be candidate.
Ii was after they had failed
to secure the consent Of the ex-
President that the same group
of men urged Senator La
Toilette to become a candidate
for the nomination against
President Taft. They pledged
him their support, and gave il
TO him until they discovered
that he was not making any
Roadway. They then seized
upon the exhibition the Wis.
consin Senator made of himself
at the publishers banquet here

they had in the meantime
received assurances that Mr..
Roosevelt was in a more recep-
tive mood, which they soon dis
covered was a fact.

LEGISLATURE
AT ANNAPOLIS

Senator Beck. of Kent County, has
introduced bill providing for the APP
pointing of County School Commission
ers by the State Board of Education.
First 1t names the State Board Of
Education. consisting Of Stevenson A.
Williams. of Hartford county; Joseph ID.
Baker. of Frederick county. and the pres
ent State Board of Education. together
with the Governor and the State Super
ntendent Of Public Education, making
total of eight members who are high
class citizens and evenly divided polit-
icaly.
Second The Board names the
County School Commissioners, and shall
not take into account any consideration
other than special fitness for the duties
and requirements of the position to which
they are appointed.
Third The present members of the
Board of County School Commissioners
hold Office until their terms expire. and
likewise the State Superintendent of
Public Education.
"Fourth-At the expiration of the
terms Of the State Board Of Education.
two of whom are appointed for two
years. two for four years and two for
six years, the Governor appoint their
successors, whose only qualifications
shall be their fitness for the office. but
these appointees have to be confirmed
by the Senate.
Fifth -The bill states the qualiiica-
tons necessary for the superintendent
Of the schools. who are appointed by
the county school board. and no county
superintendent may be removed at any
time by the Board of County School
Commissioners except after 80 days
notice in writing and the stating Of the
reason for dismissal.
Sixth This insures the retention Of
all capable superintendent and removes
them entirely from the influences of
politics.

A Different Situation

\ condition surrounds Gov =
ernor Goldsborough different
from that surrounding any
other Governor except Governor
Lowndes. and even the situa-
ton then was different from
now. We have a Governor
who is authorized by the con
stitution TO Do GER L \ | n
THINGS. and the same consti-
tuition authorizes the Legisla-
ture to do certain things. and
clothes it with certain authority
and obligations from which it
cannot escape. When Lowndes
was Governor the Legislature in
part was Republican. Now both
branches are Democratic by an
overwhelming majority, almost
great enough to overcome the
Governor veto.
The trainers of the constitu-
ton saw the wisdom of making
the Senate a part of the appoint
ing power. and in the disposal
of the most important offices Of
the State the law of the consti
ton says that such appoint.
ments shall be made "WITH
THE ADVICE AND CONSENT
OF THE SENATE" If this
means anything, it means that
the Governor must consult the
Senators about such appoint
ments, and in fact take their
ADVICE. 1t means that he is
not to be arbitrary. and that
the Senators are to have some
thing to do with the making of
appointments.
If this is true. AND IT Is.
then it is the duty of the Sena-
tors to see To it that the proper
appointments are made in their
respective counties. The peo-
Pile of Maryland elected a Dem
ocratic Legislature and a Re-
publican Governor. 1t is a dual
government, and the claim set
up in some quarters that the
Governor is entitled 20 do all
the naming of officials, and the
Senate u be shorn of its power
and obligation, is FOOLISH.
