Bince Senator Moke Smith of Geor gbj sadly and reluctantly took thc Job of running thc government he Ima had too much lo do. Wc think that the people ?P there In Washington should span him. Atlas was the only man that tried to-tarry the whole works. The press bureau that so gallantly ral jupa to tiie ;i ihi .ii a m ..? of Senator Smith (Hok>) rends out something like this from Washington-?nd hy the way the writer la named Ralph Smith: Washington, March 28.- Tho Smith-Smith cotton future bill, so designated because* Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, and Sena tor Ellison Smith, or South Caror lina Joined iu press' IK the meas ure to its final passage through the senate, ls regarded as one of the most 'mportant pieces of leg islation ever enacted for thc bene fit of the southern people. And this ls followed by an equally beautiful and laudatory special article iu nt out from Atlanta In which lt is said: Atlanlai JNtnrch 30.-Prominent Atlanta business men telegraph id to Senator Hoke Smith this morning offering their support and cooperation lu the fight tho senator 1B leading against cotton exchange evils. Thc attack led by Senator Smith on the pernicious practices of the New York cotton exchange ls being backed up hy Gie busi ness? and political interests of practically thc whole cotton belt, and no Issuo during the present administration has had euch a solid southern democraUc back ing. s The particular measure which Senator Smith ls supporting along with tho other southern senators, ls tho bill Introduced by Senator Smith of South Carolina. It was Senator Smith of Georgia who was chosen to Are Gie opening gun in tiie debate. Now who the douse ever beard of Hoke Smith daddying Gils bill? Hts presa agent is writing for C orgia con m"-YV-~--". It to well known rest sen ator E. D. smith of thia state has been ; fighting for the passage of some kind of a bill of this kind for years, and baa fought terrl.ic odds. He could do nothing by himself, of course, but he baa done something, and something that Wm redound io the good Of the routh. Why should he not receive the credit for it? Hoke Smith ho doubt rendered nplendid service, but If he is so Immodest as to permit the Atlanta papers to glvo him all of this credit without rebuking them ho is 'no friend or E. D. Smith. Wc havo -beard of the Smith-Lover bill and allsorts of j other hyphenated propositions* but'wo do not see why our South Carolina I congressmen should not receive what ls their right. And lt may have been' I coincidence, but the Smith-Lever bill finally did poss-os Gie Lever bill land Gie game little South Carolina congressman waa given all Gie praise hy his follow members. It should be so with Senator E. D. Smith, and the j Associated Press and other great news (agencies do g'.ve him *ht> credit. PUBLIC SENTIMENT Our Six and Twenty correspondent calls attention to conditions in Ulla county which are deplorable If be haa been properly informed, and he ls rathor careful In hie statement.

But with a little bit ot mora] sentiment to back up juries and put convicted persons on the chain gangs, blind tigers would be aa scarce herc as in Western North C?trf????,s Blind- tigers should be handled In j Magistrate's courts.

The city has no right to permit blind tigers within ita borders to sell liquor to negro farm laborers. Drink knocks them dui of work from Saturday till about Tuesday.

BY HIN OWN HTANDABD Sometime ago we catted attention lo what we considered the enormity of the action of Abraham Lincoln In liberating a horde of slaves upon a defenseless population of women, Children and old men. We have always thought Lincoln a mucli overrated man who got into of fice by chance, as the popular vote in 1860 was much against him-Lincoln, 1.866,46:.'; Douglas, l,375,t57; Breck enridge, 847.953; Bell,. 590.953, total 1.080^25. . ... . . -*l7t'4B But Lincoln'? emancipation procla mation waa far different in intent and In tone' from his speech at Charleston, Illa., lu 1858, when he said: "I will nay that I am not, nor ever have been, In favor of making voters or jurors >t negroes, nor of qualifying them to liold office, nor to inter-marry with white people; and 1 will say in addi tion to this that there ls a physical difference between the white and the pinch rare which I believe will for. ever, forbid the two races living to gether on terms of Hoclal or political [.quality* * much as any other man, am in favor of having tho superior position assigned to the white rnce." And on the 1st of January 1863 he set the negroes free, stating in a long preamble that this was donc "as a flt ?nd necessary war measure for sap pressing the rebellion." Therefore measuring Lincoln by hi? >\vn standard, he was not much of a man. --mr.T^~ NO VICARIOUS SACRIFICE. It appear that John Gary Evans is jnwilllng to make a vicarious sacrifice >f himself just for the sake of helping io ' defeat another candidate. Suiue iiuo ago it was urged that It wag nec )Bsary to have a three-cornered race n ? order to keep Blesse from mixing ip in the gubernatorial campaign. It ?vas said that in either event, defeat or hectic;; tc thc ??mixj ni lue unit pri nary, Blease would be foot loose to mt his msn over In the governor's 'ace. This was one of the reasons rrged why Qovernor*Evsns should run ind cause a second race for tho sen tie between himself and Blease or utwun amit); ?sd H!c"c, fer !t '.vas igured that with any combination 31ease would have enough votes to get nto the second race. It speaks well for Gov. Evana that ie will not go into a race just to cause lol it leal "not times" in the state, but here are many good men who wanted i chanco to vote for him just once. frii?
