And Savannah ‘‘lockers”’—twenty of
them! You can’t getahead of our gea
port town.
Bourke Cochran declared in debat.f:;
in Congress last week that the bribe
giver was worse than the bribe-taker.
To be sure. The bribe-giver does the
corrupting.
Anna Gould says she is going to leave
Paris and live in America, where she
can educate her children and be away
from unfounded matrimonial rumors.
May be Anna will be gensible after all.
They are trying to prove Harry Thaw
crazy by experts in New York. This is
hardly necessary. Most any common
sense man would know that no sane
man would act a 8 he has.
The money stringency is largely due
to people holding their money and re
fusing to pay their debts. A general
paying of debts would add an enthusi
asm to business that would greatly re
lieve the situation.
“If two-thirds of the girls who go on
the stage would go to the kitchen in
stead, there would be a whole lot more
happiness in the world,”’ says the Bir~

their cooking is as bad as their acting,”’
retorts Editor Perham
A bride 12 years old, Miss Lecy
Glenn, married Charley Harrison, 26
years old, at Commerce, Ga. It ought
to be a crime to rob the cradle for s
wife. A girl 12 years old has no busi
ness getting married. Divorce will be
the result.
Savannah has twenty ‘‘locker clubs.”
The city only charges $3OO license, and
the State $5OO, and consequently the
locker clubs are flecuricshing. Seab
Wright made a big mistake when he
put “locker clubs’’ on the people. The
legislature should knock ’em out in
June.
Governor Hoke Sumith’s declaration
that he thinks the prohibition law in
Georgia is too drastic, and ‘‘that light
drinks, such as wine and beer, be used
a 8 only at the table as food.”” The
Governor evidently wants hotels and
restaurants to become bar-rooms. The
Governor is getting axay from the peo
ple.
Those who do not like Georgia under
dry conditions can move to the North,
is a suggection made by the Mucon
News. ‘‘But those who do not like
Georgia under any and all eonditions
would have to mve to Heaven for im
provement,’” says the Savannah Press,
which still has some of the old stock of
good cheer left.

HON. GORDON LEE.
"The announcement of Hon. Gordon
Lee for re-election to Congress from
the Seventh Geeorgia District appears in
this issue. Congressman Lee has proven
a most efficient and indefatigable pub
lic servant. He has been faithfal to
every trust and interest of the people.
He stands as well in Congress as any
man of his experience in that body, and
his re-election will be & deserved trib
ute to his worth and usefulness. Gor
don Lee is a most excellent gentleman,
a man of sterling character, and the
people will do well to honor him again.
NEW POSTAL REGULATION.
A new postal regulatiun says: “‘A
reasonable time will be allowed pub
lishers to secure renewals of subscrip
tions, but unless subsecriptions are ex
preasly renewed after the term for
whioh they are paid, with the following
periods: Weeklies within 12 months,
they shall not be counted in the legiti
mate list of subseribers, and copies
mailed on aceount thereof shall not be
accepted for mailing at the second-class
postage rate, etc.”’
No papers allowed on the free list.
Our subseribers who arelin arrears with
their subseriptions will have to pay up;
paper will not be allowed to pass
through the mail unless one cent is
placed on each paper, which we cannot
afford to do.
~ Due notice is thus given, and those in
arrears as much as twelve mouths will
have to be dropped from our list. Aect
promptly.
R. 'MILLS McNEEL ENTERTAINS.
Mr, R. Mille McNeel entertained a
dozen of his gentlemen friends at a
supper, at his elegant home, on Chureh
street, on last ¥Friday evening. Those
present were Messrs. N. A. Morris, W.
M. McKenzie, J. T. Anderson, C. M.
Law, Geo. H. Sessions, M. M. Sessions,
J. H. Boston, Jr., Rosser Little, Mor
gan L. McNeel, Bertie Freyer, Henry
Wyatt and R. M. McNeel. The lovely
home, with its rich furnishings, was ar
tiscally and beautifully decorated with
ferns, palms, etc., the hall especially
attractive. Under the deft fingers of
Mrs, McNeel ard Mrs. Boston, the din
ing room was a scene of exquisite beau
ty and elegance. The color scheme was
crimson and white. The table with its
beautiful center piece, white hyacinths,
azaleas, etc., candelabras with shades
to match the color scheme, a flood of
goft, mellow light, gave an attractive
ness very pleasing to the eye. The
menu was elaborate and superbly aserv
ed. Mr. MeNeel proved a genial host,
and the evening was enjoyable to all
present. |
“AN EXPLANATION,
AcworrH, GA., Jan. 18th, 1908.
Editors Marietta Journal:
Dear Sirs—l am informed that some
of my friends are apprehensive that, in
the event of my election as one of the
representatives in the legislature, I
will advocate the creation of a new
county, composed of parts of the coun
ties of Cobb, Bartow, Cherokee and
Paulding. I wish to say such appre-
Lentions are unfounded. I will not ad
vocate such measure. The creation of
new counties means new and more se
vere burdens of taxation, which are
quite heavy enough already.
Furthermore such a measure as the
creation of a new county in this section
is utterly impracticable. Under the
Constitution of the State as amended
by Acts 1904 and 1907, no more new
counties can be created in the State.
The policy of the State is opposed to}
the making of any more new counties.l
as illustrated 1n the cases of Barnes
ville, winder and Villa Rica.
While some some of the citizens of
my town would like to have a new
county in this section, yet, they realize
its impracticability, and will not expeect
such thing.
Respectfully,
J. J. NORTHOUTT.
For Congress.
To the People of the Seventh Con
gressional District:—l am a candidate
for Representative in the Sixty-first
Congresg, subject to the action of your
usual nominating primary.
1 believe it to be your wish thatl
continue in your service in order to
further advance the public improve
ments which I had in view for the Dis
trict when I entered Congress, and
which have beeninaugurated with grat
ifying results.
i I make no other claim upon your.
further suffrage than thatof duty faith
fully performed; the substantial pubiic
improvements already begun and the
reasorable certainty of others in view
attest the worth and character of the
service I am rendering the District.
I desire to serve another term in or
der that [ may finish my publie service
with completed results for your perma
nent benefit.
At the end of this service, I take this
method of saying that I shall not again
be a candidate for Congress, and will
retire with the consciousness of duty
well performed.
Thanking you warmly and sincerely
for the confidence and trust you have
reposed in me, acd for the unvarying
kindness that has always been mine at
your hands, [ am,
Faithfully yours,
GorpoN LEE.
