JUNE IN, 1902. lust. what effect the candidacy of ex-Governor John Gary Evans ' -for the United States Senate will Invve upoti t he result of the election is, of course, problematical, but it is safe to assume, taking into ac- ; count the political pnst, that Mr. Ashury C. Latimer will bo the I ^rentest loser. ? ?.* ?. ? The Times takes pleasure in directing the attention of the votlinr nnlilir' tn tli? ft r? mm mmmii > nC Hon. J. li. Haile, who offers as a candidate for re-election to the ^ . Legislature. Mr. Haile was elec-1 ted to the Legislature two years ago and has proved a valuable member of that body. His record as a legislator is such that he de- j serves re-election. It is also worthy of note, in this connection, that, he was the only member of the York delegation who voted for the resolution consul ing Senator McLaurin for his anti-Democratic course in the United States Senate. ? ? '"A writer in the Macon Telegraph refers to Gen. Nathan H. Forrest as the "greatest general"' produced by ! the civil war. People differ in their conception of greatness, but no one who has read attentively Gen.! Forrest's military career will gainsay that he was indeed a remarkable man. Entering the Confed- 1 erate service as a private soldier, with little education and 110 military training, his bravery and , innate ability as i. leader of men Hoi>11 won for him t lw? mnrilofl recognition of his superiors. And when the war closed he wns a ^ lieutenant general. A great man was Nathan Bedford Forrest; so 1 great indeed that our recent military heroes are to him what the rattle of a snare drum is to the ( boom of n 13-inch gun. ( -* ?? ? 11 Frequently the suggestion is made that only qualified voters? voters possessing registration certificates and otherwise entitled to participate at general elections? j should be allowed to take part in our Democratic primaries. Those who oppose the change have thus far failed to offer one tenable reason why it should not ob- 1 tain, und it is safe to say that i unless restrictions of some kind ; , are laid upon the indiscriminate ( placing on the Democratic club roll the name of every man who : < wishes to vote, the practice will eventually result in the pii- j1 mary system being brought into' such disrenute that a ret urn t.rt tbn " I I ' convention plan of nominating can- 1 didates will ultimately come. The j primary is far hotter than tin' con- j vent ion, because the former moans ; 1 the choice of the majority, while the latter is undemocratic and is in nine cases out of ten attended by boodling, bulldozing and unfair wire-pulling. Ily all means let the State Democratic Enoch 1 tive Committee pass a ruling that only qualified voters shall have n voice in naming the nominees. Such a ruling would also increase ! the vote in general elections from 11 oO to 100 per cent. Senator M. A.

Miss Lee whs charged Willi violating 111 law for separation of white nml colored passengers on rnilrond tmiiiB. Sin1 boarded a train in Washinijton City for Alexandria. After the; train crossed the Loiio Hiid^e, the conductor approachod Miss Lee 1 and explained to her that she was riding in the part of the car re- j served for colored people, and re- j quested that she move to the front I portion of the car. This Mi h Lee j refused to do, not withstanding the1 repented requests of the conduct!>r. When the train reached Alexandria, Miss Lee was informed by a police officer that sin* was in eustody. She was ihon escorted to ; the police station, where, alter she had heell inven >i chair in front nf flie building, she recited the ineidents wliieh led up to her arrest. Probably with the idea of relieving her of the embarrassing gaze of j the curious, someone suggested t that she be taken inside the sta-j tion. Instantly there were several i protests, noticeably from gray- j haired men, many of whom hud doubtless served under her father. Noting these protests, Miss Lee j said: "1 do not believe that Alexandrians would allow me to be taken a prisoner into a police sta- I tion." A difficult problem which con- j confronted the poliee officers was what disposition should lie made of the case. Finally the mayor of the eity was appealed to. He at once directed that Miss Lee be released upon Icr own recognizance, for her appearance in court, at JO o'clock Saturday morning, should the railroad company rare , to piosecuto the ens**.

Senator Tillman mode n strong and impressive appeal tu tin* Senate Friday for a cheap rural mail delivery box. During the morning: hour he took.occasion to present to i Iho Senate a sample la?x, made of galvanized iron, which, lie said,; could be furnished to persons' alon^r rural free delivery routes at a coat of -1 i> cents for each box. Under the rules of the Post j Office Department. patrons of the service are requited to procure ( regulation boxes, which cost from $1.25 to each, and thin, lie said, 1 was an onerous burden. Senator Tillman enlisted the ' sympathetic attention of the Senate, and appealed to Senator Alii- ; son, chairman of the committee on f appropriations, to insert a pro-J J vision in the general deficiency i bill to enable the Post ( Mice 1 )o- ( partment to inaugurate a system 1 by which cheap boxes can he nip- 1 plied to the farmers and other ' beneficiaries of rural delivery. Prief and Itreezy. A cynical old cusr once declared 7 line to he the month of b's?bu^s awl brides. The Charleston exposition closed with the usual exposition story "very successful in every respect except financially." "Automobile killings" has be- I ouie a standing headline in the big dailies, and the killings in- j reaso all the time.

The soienti-ts may fall clown in trying to predict volcanic eruptions, but no mistake is ever made in predicting political eruptions. The country is now preparing for 1 one.
