The last card played by Governor At kinson just before he retired from the high office which he has misused for so long. is generally regarded as a fitting close to his four years mal administration. We refer, of course, to hi* final shake of the political dice box, which has been the chief feature of his administration, by which Jake Beach resigns a prison com missionership in order that Governor At kinson. almost upon the hour of retiring from office, might deal out a little more patronage, in the hope that it would re turn as bread cast upon the waters two years hence, when he gets ready to tackle Senator Bacon. Nothing like It was ever before heard of. For a retiring governor to make ap pointment* twelve hours before going out of office is unprecedented, but for a gov ernor to bring about certain changes on the eve of his retirement from office, in order that he might make such a political play, is Just a little too much for even the jHtlitician* who have become hardened by four yeans association with this king of (Mtanut politicians. But it Is worse than useless to criticise such an act. We can only consider the effect of it. It Is generally conceded that in miking this play Governor Atkinson hie simply pulled the hole in after him. If it was to help his chances for the United States senatorship. as is generally admitted, it will, undoubtedly, have the opposite effect. It Is almost the unani mous opinion that no more disgraceful thing has occurred during the entire time that Governor Atkinson has been using the office of governor to ‘'fix" things po litically in Georgia, and it seems to be conceded that the affair will recoil on him with terrific force. We regrcat to have to speak so plainly of a retiring governor, for we had thought it but Christian-like to deal gently with the dead, but. when a political corpse comes to life long enough to kick the lid off the coffin and to throw dirt in the eyes of the people at the funeral, it de serves to be denounced. The appointment of Professor McCand >ess as state chemist is considerably out of the ordinary, in that it is in no sense a “political appointment.” Profesßor Mi (' ll.dh .S •*■«.• not even an applicant for the position, and made no effort whatever ■to secure it, so that in selecting him Commissioner Steven* must have been <uldcd solely by a desire to get the right man for the place. It is generally admit ted that the appointment will give uni versal satisfaction. Mayor Collier,s Letter. The News publishes elsewhere as an ad vertisement a letter addressed to Mayor Price by Mayor ('oilier, of Atlanta, giving Atlanta's experience with the whisky traf fic. It is our opinion that no more sensi ble or important argument has been ad vanced since the present contest began than that offered by Mayor Collier, who certainly cannot be considered a "liquor man" in any sense of the word. But we do not accept Mayor Collier’s letter as being merely an argument against prohibition. It seems to us that It goes further and lays stress on the very point made by The News relative to the sale of liquor—l. e. that high license and restric tions are better than prohibition. It seems to us that Mayor Price should consider very carefully this part of Mayor Collier’s letter, and if he values that gen tleman's opinion as much as appears, he should be guided also by his advice as to high license and restrictions. It is not consistent to accept that portion of Mayor Collier's letter which declares prohibition to be unwise and hurtful and discard that portion which shows high license and re strlotlons to be the correct plan for con trolling the sale of whisky. In a word. Atlanta’s experience, both with prohibition and with high license, proves The News' contention, and very strongly recommends it to the considera tion of the mayor and council of Macon. What Mayor Collier says as to Atlanta's experience is not his own opinion alone, but is the opinion of nearly evbry promi nent citizen of* Atlanta, many of whom have expressed their views in published interviews. We consider all of these views sound, and we commend them to the mayor and council and all the conservative people of Macon. We sincerely hope the former will yet see fit to offer the prohibitionists a compromise of the nature suggested, and ■we know such a compromise will be over whelfhingly endorsed by the conservative citizens of this community. The News has never taken a stand that has proven so universally popular as is its fight for higher license and more restric tions; which simply means a fight for harmony and for a correct solution of the liquor traffic. We firmly believe that fully two-thirds of the people of this com munity are of the same way of thinking, and we hope that such an adjustment of the matter may yet be reached. We beg to suggest that the issue in Bibb county is becoming so muddled that it is difficult to tell whether it is Price or Pro hibition. Candler’s Inauguration. The ceremonies attending the inaugu ration of Allen D. Candler as governor of Georgia were simple in the extreme. The plain man of the people who was sworn in os governor of Georgia on Sat urday last, assumed the duties of that high office with as little display as pos sible, and one could not help noticing the absence of show and vanity—%s marked, in fact, as is the absence of these things in •the individual himself. But while Saturday’s ceremonies lack ed in display as compared with similar ceremonies that have been ■witnessed at the capital, they did not lack in impres siveness. for there was a general feeling of relief and of satisfaction everywhere manifested at the thought of a change of administration. Everywhere the feeling of confidence ,md good will for the new executive is discernible, and no man ever went into office under brighter auspices. Polit ically he has the friendship and co-opera tion of practically all of those about him. Personally he has their respect and es teem, and no one can be found who be lieves he will do aught to forfeit either. Though exceedingly brief, Governor Candler's inaugural address was to the point, clear and business like, and it has met with general approval. Everyone be lieves that he will adhere strictly to the policy laid down by him, and there is a feeling of serenity and confidence so far h* executive affairs are concerned in Georgia, that has not been felt in years. Any man would be willing to become governor to be kissed by such a flair wo man as paid Governor Candler that com pliment on Saturday last. Judge Nottingham. It will be gratifying news to Judge Warren Nottingham'* numerous friends to know that he has his judgeship commission as good as in his jiocket. He won hands down, and it seems to be the general ver dict that he deserves it. He was a faith ful supporter of Colonel Candler, and be i« recognized as being both a lawyer of ability and a man of character. Judge Nottingham will serve for four years as city Judge of Macon, and the salary is 13,000 per year, so that he has secured one of the nicest plums going. Judge Nottingham will make an excel lent city court judge, and we believe his appointment, after the first sting of dis appointment has passed off, will give uni versal satisfaction, even to his bitterest opponents. Judge Gap. sense enough to steer clear of that prison commissioner ship boomerang. It looks more and more like war be tween France and England. Hl* Life Wan Saved. Mr. J. E. Lilly, a citizen of HJ&nnfbal, Mo., lately had a wonderful de liverance from a frightful death. In tell ing of It he says: "I was taken with ty phoid fever, that ran into pneumonia. My lungs became hardened. I was so woak< I couldn't even sit up in bed. Noth helped me. I expected to sooa die of when I heard of Dr. King’s New Discovery. Nine bottles gave great relief. I continued to use it, and now am well and strong, I can’t say too much in its praise.” This marvellous medicine is the surest and quickest cure in the world for al throat and lung troubles.

Mr. Martin Darner, of St. Barnabas Episcopal church, has been offered and has accepted the rectorship of an Episco pal church at Fort Scott, Kan. His place will be taken by Rev. A. Craighill, who was recently ordained at Suwanee. Mr. Darner hat been here for a number of years and has endeared himself very much to the members of his congregation, among whom he will -be greatly missed. His successor, Mr. Craighill, has. how ever, made a most excellent impression among the Episcopalians of the city. He iftis filled the pulpit at Christ church for the last three weeks during the absence of Rev. F. F. Reese, who has been in atten dance on the Episcopal convention at Washington.

That portion of the national bankruptcy law referring to involuntary bankrupts will become operative (November 1. The part of the law referring to voluntary bankruptcy has been in effect since Au gust 1. On and after November 1 creditors may force a debtor into bankruptcy and have his assets distributed pro rata to pay his debts. The law is of good general interest. A creditor is defined as anyone who owns a claim, provable in law, against another. A petition to have one adjudged an in voluntary bankrupt must be filed in the United States court. Three or more creditors whose provable claims are SSOO in excess of their security, may tile such a petition. If the Creditors are less than 12 in num ber, one of them may file a petition if his claim is SSOO or more. - Any person, except a wage-earner, or one who is engaged in tilling the soil, may be forced into bankruptcy, provided fie owes debts exceeding SI,OOO. Private bankers, but no State or Nat ional banks, can be forced into bankrupt cy, also corporations and partnership con cerns. Upon filing his petition the creditor must give as complete a schedule of the bank rupt’s debts as possible for him to obtain. A petitioner cannot withdraw his peti tion without the consent of the other creditors. The petitioners are required to give bond for security of the costs of suit. When the case has been entered in court it is referred to a referee and adjudicated the same as a case of voluntary bank ruptcy. All conveyances of property and dis charges of debts made by a debtor within four months previous to the declaration of his bankruptcy are revoked and made null and void. The referee is to cover such assets and use them to discharge the claims of cred itors without preference. No creditor can be givqn preference over another. • If it is proved that a transfer of prop erty has been made, or creditors have been paid by a debtor, in anticipation of a petition of Involuntary bankruptcy, the transaction will be declared void by the court and creditors can recover the as sets. When a debtor has been'adjudged an in voluntary bankrupt, the law directs that trustees shall be appointed to take charge of his estate and administer it to the best advantage of all parties interested. When all of his property- has been used to pay off his debts,s as far as possible, the debtor is allowed a discharge, which releases him from all unpaid indebted ness.

He was driving a spirited horse, which became frightened at an approaching .car. Mr. Cloud got down out of the buggy and took the horse by the bridle. The horse seemed to get tarribly frighteded as the car came ncarrer and pawed Mr. Cloud in the face, making afnghtful gash. The horse broke loose and ran down Ap pleton avenue. Mr. Cloud was uncon scious for some time but finally came around and was able to be sent to his home near Knoxville. x JAPANESE CURB \ ' . -.v ii'l Complete treatment, consisting of >UIT*> 'i I OKIES, Capsules of Ointment and two Boxes of Ointment.
