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. (

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. Hnnna, of Ohio,
in reply to a suggestion from Colonel
Cutter Smith, of Ala., that ho
become a candidate fi>r President
in 1004 Iihh written Colonel Smith
mh folIowH; *'I appreciate sincerely j
the fnendHhip which prompts the
liigh compliment paid ine in your
Suggestion. I am grateful for such
confidence, but must insist that I
am not to be considered in nny
sense ? candidate for the nomina- ,
tion for President in 1001."

War &
Genera! I.ee's Daughter Arrested.
Soul liei tiers will tend with regret
and mortification of 11>?- un
fortunate arrest. in Alexandria,
Ya.t I'Yidny. of Miss Mary Gust is
l.ee, dauirliter of Gon. Koltt. Iv 1
Lee. 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**.
Mihh la*e did not appear in I
court Saturday morning, but instead
forfeited $5.

Tillman Appeals for Cheap Mail Boxes.
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.
