MARIETTA GA-
TrHURSDAY MoRrNING, May 21, 1908.
“_—___
Congress wili adjourn on May 23d.
Clarke Howell is wise. He saws wood
and says nothing.
It is called *“near beer,” but it is said
to be very far from being ‘‘near.”’
Who would have thought a ‘‘little
joke’’ like ‘‘little Joe” would have
shaken up the entire State as it has?
A terrible tidal wave in tha Yang Tse
Kian river, China, swept away and
drowned 10,000 Chinamen.
If Joe Brown .isn't elected, he’ll
most. But it looks like he is on the
cregt of the wave.
Two more weeks of political ‘‘fuss
and fury,” and then the elected can
smile and the defeated feel bad, and
the people settle down to business.
When men deliberately prevaricate
to prejudice men to vote their way,
then the old devil claims kinship with
them at once, for the ‘‘devil was a liar
from the beginning,” says Holy Writ.
They arrested a man in Atlanta for
hollering for Joe Brown. Judge Broyles
discharged him, and told him he could
split his throat hollering for Brown if
he wanted to.
Governor Smith lost his temper at
Augusta while making a speech, and
handed out ‘vou are a liar’”’ with the
freedom of a Decatur strect gent. Set
a better example, Governor.
Worcester, Mass., cluims to be the
largest “‘dry’’ city in the world. It had
118,000 inhabitants in 1900.—Macon
News.
Isit as ‘‘dry’’ as Atlanta, or has it
‘“‘near beer’’?
Here is the way the Valdosta Times
puts it: ‘‘The farmers have not saved
50 cents a bale on cotton, as was prom
ised them in freight rates, but they
have lost about $lO a bale as one of the
results of the war on foreign capital.”’
It turns out that William Montgom
ery, defaulting cashier of the Alleg
heny National Bank, Pittsburg, Pa.,
has stolen $1,250,000 He is under ar
rest, and ought to be sent to the peni
tentiary.
Can’t you already feel the peach fuzz
down the back of your neck?”’—Atlanta
Journal.
We don’t eat peaches down the back
of our neck. Do you gum it up?
Judge Dick Russell says he is for
little Joe Brown. He hasn’t forgotten
how Smith belitt'ed him as he does
now Joe Brown That is Smith’s weap
ons.
Troubles follow on the heele of each
other. The election will hardly be over
in June before the legislature convenes.
Alas! at the woe and tantalizing wor
ries of this world.
Well, if Mr. Bryan's name did appear
243 times in two issues of his paper, as
some enemy claims, doesn’t a man run
& personal organ to toot his own horn?—
Augusta Herald.
Say, yourself, you are running for
State senator.
When Hoke Smith had under consid
ation to run for United States sen
ator, he virtually waived all “prece
dent’’ for second term as Governor. It
i 8 not a question of ‘‘precedent,’”” but a
question of “'revolt’’ against an admin
istration that the people are not satis
fied with :
The advance in the price of July cot
ton of *2.50 per bale is attributed to a
new ‘‘cotton king’’ in New York, Mr. J.
L. Livermoie. They say he has made a
vast deal of money in buying July cot
ton.
The Governor says it’'s a lie. It
wasn’t the happiest day of his life when
he signed the prohibition bill, after all.
Some have thought all along that there
was more smile than heart in that sig
nature —Blackshear Times.
The Montgomery Advertiser asks:
“Is she a devil?”’ speaking of Mrs.
Guinness. All we can say is, if she
“ain’t,”’” she’s got the old gent mighty
hard pressed.—Rome Tribune-Herald.
She has taken possession of the infer
nal regions, and i 8 running it to suit
herzelf.
It ie said that the reason that the
firemen in Atlanta couldn’t hardly stop
the fire there recently, was owing to a
shortage of the watersupply. Of course,
the bar-roome are closed, and the poor
jellows have to drink more water than
ever. (
A man in Texag is not allowed by law
to even carry a pistol in his pocket.—E]-
berton Star,
Nothing remarkable about that,
Georgia has a similar law. but the law
is violated just the same. A number of
people carry pistols in their pockets.
They take the chance against being
found out,
CAPITAL SCARY.
Capital is scary. Threaten it with
drastic laws, confiscatory taxes and too
much strangulation, and it will flee to
cover. Assure capitalists that their
investments will be protected, whether
in factories, mines, electric lines or
steam railroads, and they become bold
and venturesome. Conservatism is
needed, with ‘‘justice, wisdom and
moderation’’ as the guiding prineiples,
to give Georgia all the capital she
needs, and the enterprises and indus
wries now shut down will reopen and
trade and business will revive, and good
wages and profits will once again be
restored. ‘
It is said to be out of the question to
‘induce capitalists to invest money to
'build the electric car line from Mari
etta to Logt Mountain, Macland, Pow
der Springs and Austell. They are
afraid of the poliey that fights foreign
capitalists from owning railroads in
Georgia. If Joe Brown is elected, it is
thought confidence will be restored and
capitaliste can be induced to take hold
of this important enterprise and build
it.
SMITH WAS FOR BROWN.
Hon, Eb. T. Williams, of Atlanta, in:
aspeechat Dallas, Ga., lagt Friday, said :
“‘Governor Smith had stated to Mr.
Brown before he was cendidate for
governor, that he would like to be gov
ernor for one hour, to appoint him rail
road commissioner ; that after Governor l
Terrell appointed Mr. Brown, he con
gratulated Governor Terrell as having
made the best appointment of his ad
ministration., His authority for this is
Mr. Brown’s own statement and also
that of Governor Terrell, and Mr. Smith
would not deny it.”
A FIVE YEAR PROHIBITIONIST.
During Governor Smith’s speech at
Rome last Saturday, the Rome Tribune-
Herald tells of this incident:
“Just at this point, Mr.J. O. Winfrey,
a native of Floyd county and a well
known veteran, arose and said: ‘Gov
ernor, may I ask you one civil and hon
est question?” Upon receiving permis
sion, he said: ‘Governor, are you a
prohibitionist?” The Governor did not
answer yes or no, putsaid: ‘I am in
favor of maintaining the present law in
Georgia for at least five years, except
for such amendments as friends of the
law—such as Mr. Wright here—might
make.” This answer did not seem to
satisfy Mr. Winfrey, who is a staunch
prohibitionist, and he said : ‘Well, then,
Lwill address another question to you
and Mr. Wright: In the Bible it
says——’ Here the Governor inter
rupted him by saying: ‘I cannot take
time to let you make a speech,’ and re
sumed the thread of his disfranchise
ment argument.”’
According to this argument, Governor
Smith agrees to let the present law
stand for ‘‘five years’’ only.
Now, what prohibitionist is willing to
compromise his prineiples to vote for a
five-year prohibitionist?
Can you limit righteousness ? Isn’t
it best and right to keep whisky away
longer than five years?
HOW TO TREAT CANDIDATES.
Editor Hilton, of Dublin, printed the
following:
“Why should we get mad with our
friends and neighbors when they differ
with us as to candidates or issues? The
candidates for whom we make enemies
do not care a thrip for us in a week af
ter they get office, and the issues by
which we lay 8o much store to-day may
be dead and forgotten a month from
now,
*‘lt is right and healthy to take inter
est in polities, but it is well to let your
activity be confined to working for your
friends and the prineiples in which you
believe, and refrain from attacking the
personality of those who do not take the
same view that you do.”
TO COBB COUNTY TEACHERS.

BETTER THAN POLITICS.
Good roads are better than politics,
wisely says the Americus Times-Re
corder.
The county that constructs good roads
cannot be held back. The very improve
ment of its highways assures its con
tinued development. Good roads are
not only an inspiration to other coun
ties, but, what is more important, they
are an ingpiration to every man ir the
county where they are constructed.
They put new life, new determination,
pew ambition into him. He speedily
gets better horses and better wagons
and better stock in all lines. Hisfarm
takes on a better look, his home wears
a newer and brighter agpect. No man
wants to live on a good road and have a
dilapidated, run down, unkempt-look
ing place for passers-by to see. Good
roads mean enthusiasm at home, the
place where freqently it i 3 most needed.
Cobb county will have to wake up and
get a move on her in the building of
good roads.

The
Farmers'
Conveniences
are not alone confined to the Rural Free Delivery
of mail and the telephone. There is another con
venience which all farmers should have—and many
do have—a checking account with a good bank.
The possessor of such an account avoids the risk of
having his money on his person or about his home
where it is in danger of fire and thieves.
His bills paid by check are not only a valid
receipt, but also a convenience in his home trans
actions where very often the necessary change for
concluding a settlement is not at hand.
