Capt. Soseph F. Johnston felt encour- aged even in his failures to reach a nomi- ration by his party for governor. In the state convention of 1880. his first essay, he ran among five competitors, far ahead of all except Kolb. In 1894 he was strong in the primaries that when the conven- tion assembled he and his supporting delegates were quite confident of his nom- ination. As the result proved, in con- vention of more than 520 delegates, he , lost by the slender majority of 30, that Nwas so flckle as to be known to be un- Jreliable on a second trial if put 10 the test.
 Governor Oates had avowedly sought his office for a purpose of his own. He had been long in the lower branch of Congress and was invincible in his dis trict. He desired to rise to the Senate. He would lay the foundation of his claim to promotion in federal service by dem onstration of his varied abilities in the office of governor.
 Nothing daunted by the advertised hos tility that he had encountered m the earlier campaigns. Captain Johnston en- tered upon canvass for the nomination in 1896. He felt safe in declaring for the ''open bars policy. His forecast was that the national democrcatic convention of 1896 would adopt bimetallic plat form and put bmetallic ticket on it. 4. The sound money" Oates faction of the Ytate democracy would probably bolt the Hist,onal platform and the national ticket. I Under these prospects, Johnston proposed to pull down the primary bars, to let back into the party a large contingent of the democrats of 1874 who had voted for Kolb against Oates in 1894. Every tr1nn Who voted nlh hi1natal- l. list Many had voted for Kolb to avoid voting the sound money ticket and for no other reason.
 The factional spirit now rose high. The sound money organ the Montgomery Ad- vertiser. measured not it's words in de- nrnciation of Johnston. Captain John ston, the late John w.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Golden Rule in Water Controyers,

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 desire to say to the city authorities not to muddy the waters more than they can possibly help, but if you have to stir them up. go to the bottom and give them a thorough cleaning. We cannot live without water. and plenty of it--it is next to the air we breathe. Let the people and the water company be reasonable, and just one to the other, and then be satis- fied with that. People have no respect and want no dealings with selfish and stubborn men. They live and go out of the world and are soon forgotten, and the living in passing their graves have no recolections of liberality or kindness. To build. equip and keep In order first class water plant costs an enormous sum of money. Now, while this is true, Is it not a fact that it is a good investment and can be made to serve its purposes to the entire satisfaction of all parties inter- ested. Gentlemen, let me earnestly re- quest you to look at this matter from all standpoints and apply the golden rule.

Good will of Public
Valuable Asset 10
Railroads
By FAIRFAX HARRISON. Presia.n, Of
Southern Railway

z VERY intelligent man knows
that the railroads are in diff
culties today and knows, too,
that these difficulties are due in
part to the past history of the rail-
roads, but in part also to the proc
ess of adjustment to a SYSTEM
OF PUBLIC REGULATION which
has been accepted as an accomplish
cd fact. but has nevertheless gone
further into details of ABSOLUTE
STATUTE LAW than any system
Of public regulation, even of the
activities of government itself,
which the world has ever known.
AS WE RECOGNIZE THAT THIS
SYSTEM OF PUBLIC REGULATION
IS BUILT ON PUBLIC OPINION, so
WE MUST RECOGNIZE THAT A
SOLUTION OF OUR PRESENT DIFF.
FACULTIES MAY BE FASTENED
BY CONSTANT EFFORTS ON THE
PART OF THOSE ENGAGED IN
TRANSPORTATION SERVICE IN
ANY CAPACITY TO ENLiGHrEN
OUR PATRONS AND OUR FRIENDS
AND NEiGHsoRs AS TO THEIR
INTEREST. IN THE TRANSPORTA.
TON SYSTEM OF THE UNITED
STATES AND AS TO ITS NEEDS.
We should bear in mind at all
times that the proper function of
transportation agencies is service
and that, in the language of the
lamentcd President Finley, "He

the public BEST"
