the past week, solemn and sad
foneral rites were being conducted

thrown into the handsof receivers
One of Mr. Plants attorneys
stated tonight that Mr. Plant’s life
was insured for the benefit of his

unfortunate as his death is, his
insurance will relieve the financial
situation surrounding the failure of

A brilliant Atlanta lawyer sums
up the Gober-Morris business in
the Blue Ridge circuit as follows:
“One election makes two frauds;
two frauds make one judge.”
Rev. Sam Jones was in Atlanta
yesterday and says he is going to
skin the democratic executive com
mittee for not investigating the
Blue Ridge scandal.
While Mr. Jones is at it he
might make a few inquiries about
the blind tiger at Marietta. Pos
sibly he could get some informa
tion from the man who swore
four kegs of beer were bought for
the judicial barbecue when the
first supply 7 was running low.
Which brings to mind an inci
dent of the prohibition days in
Atlanta. They tell the story on
Colonel Joe Thompson.
“Joe,” said a visitor to the city
who wanted to entertain some
friends, “I wish you would send
a gallon of good rye whiskey up
to my room.”
“All right; but I’ll have to tel

“Telephone h—; I want it now.”
“Well, that’s all right. It won’t

When the remains of the late E.
L. Dubois, a prominent contractor

was spoken,’ except that Senator
Clay ‘in unmeasured terms de
nounced the man who wrote the
Phillips affidavit;’ and Mr. Morris
had his knife in his band,’ and
Senator Clay ‘apologized publicly
and completely.’ ”
Ex-Governor Candler has not
been heard from on an uninstruct
ed delegation since the Journal
showed that the convention that
nominated Candler for governor
instructed its delegates for Bryan.
Several days ago the governor
said:
“Why you might as well write
a note to the chairman of the St.
Louis convention and send it by a
negro, as to send an instructed
delegation.”
And yet the Candler platform
of 1900 instructed for Bryan.
This valuable journal, in addition to the logical treatment of nil agricultural subjects, will also discuss
the great issues of the day, thereby adding zest to its columns and giving the farmer "something to think
about aside from the every day humdfum of loutine duties.
