MARIETTA GA-
TrURSDAY MoRNING, MaY 28, 1908.:
e —
Mr. Bryan is opposed to more battle
ghips Roosevelt and Hobson are ¢clam
oring for a bigger navy.
Hon. Joseph M. Brown is oat in an
other eard of considerable length, but
it is a very atrong paper.
Bryan, iv is said, is making $280,000,
or $60,000 net, off of his newspaper, The
Commoner.
Dwight Wheeler, of Middlebury,
Conn., has succeeded in growing Irish
potatoes on the potatoe vines.
Hoke Smith is not the author of pro
hibition, nor disfranchisement, says
Hon. Albert Cox. To be sure.
Bryan, if nominated, will carry every
democratic State in the South. The
Southern people are democrats from
principle.
If the people wanted a man to be
governor four years, then they would
have put it in the state constitution
four years in place of two.
A dentist of New York charged $4,000
for pulling a tooth for N, E. Barnes’
wife, of Colorado. He issuing for the
money.
Bishop K. Reese, formerly of Nash
ville, Tenn , was consecrated Bishop of
the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia,
Thursday last, at Savannah.
Senator Clay got some splendid ap
propriations for Georgia recently. He
18 getting results for the good of the
people, while politicians at home are
fighting one another.
Roosevelt with the stroke of a pen
erased ‘‘ln God We Trust” from the
gold coins, and it has taken congress a
long time legislating to restore the
motto.
It has been estimated that a loss of
40 voters in each county from the vote
received by Governor Smith in the last
race, will defeat him. If this is true,
Joe Brown wiil be alected.
Joe Lrown is highly commended by
his neighbors, which -is a mighty good
sign. If there’s anything wrong with a
man, his neighbors will know it.—Rome
Tribune-Herald.
In our judgment, the argument is
about exhausted and the people are
ready to vote for Brown or Smith, as
they have made up their minds. There
will be very few changes, one way or
the other, from now on. Question!
The Fort Valley Leader says that if
the other counties in Georgia give Joe
Brown as large majorities as Crawford
and Houston, Hoke Smith’s defeat will
be as great as Clark Howell’s was two
years ago.
Our information is, that Joe Brown
will earry not only Fulton county, but
every county north of Atlanta, except
Milton, Chattooga, Gilmer and Gordon,
and he will even up things with Smith
in thoge counties.
“Foreign capital’” means capital out
side of the State of Georgia, no matter
whether it’s Alabama, New York, Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts or Europe. We
mention this fact because a Hoke Smith
advocate the other day said it meant
only “European capital ’’
At a union meeting of the churches
of Tifton, Ga., now being conducted at
the Methodist charch Ly Rev. T. M,
Christian, of Quitman, there have been
four hundred conversions. Nearly two
hundred have joined the church. Lead
ing politicians have confessed Christ,
Just such a revival is needed in Mari
etta.
Dr. Nunnally was asked if prohibition
was safe in the hands of Governor
Smith. He replied:
*No. not unless ‘his hands are tied,
his pockets sewed up, his mouth sealed,
and his feet spiked down with forty
penny nails. You ask me why and how
do I come to this conclusion? Because
he has no fixed principles and no well
settled policies. His record shows that
he has been on all sides of avery polit
ical question for the last twenty years.
Given the opportunity and the induce
ment, he will take any side of any ques
tion.”
In the United States today there are
more than 175000 lawyers—more than
in any profeseion or calling save teach
ing and medicine. In addition to this
large number there are thousands of
young men in law offices and colleges
educating themselves for the law—a
mighty army of legal representatives,
Now, here is a chance for a real reform
er to make a name for himself—and get
an office, too. What this country needs
is less lawyers. Now, let the real re
former get busy.—Ohio Magazine.
No reform necessary. Business con
ditions will regulate it. Our observa
tion is many of these young lawyers
drop out and enter other lines of busi
ness to earn a living.
PLENTY OF CARS TO CARRY FRUIT.
The railway lines touching the peach
belt of Middle Georgia have placed over
1,000 fruit cars along the sidings, to be
used in the moving of the crop this
geason. Shipping of the Sneed varieties
of peaches has already been started,
and the indications are that the grow
ers will have very large crops of fine
fruit. Plans will be made to meet the
over-supply with canneries in mary
places. The carriers are now engaged
in making plans for the rapid transpor
tation of the crop to the large markets,
and it is certain that the peaches will
reach the larger cities'in a fine eondi
tion.”’
POST-OFFICE BUILDING.
We have information from Senator
Clay that beaides the $50,000 appropria
ted tor the new post-office publie build
ing for Marietta, that an additional
$lO,OOO has been secured to add another
story for an armory. The architect has
completed the plans, and the advertise
ment is this week placed in the
Marietta papers for contract bids. This
meang gpeedy beginning of the work.
It generally takes about a year after
the appropriations for all the prelimi
nary work to be perfected. This has
now beendone.
Senator Clay, Congressman Lee and
others of the Georgia delegation have
worked day and night for Georgia in
gsecuring public builaings, and nearly
$6800,000 was in the public building bill
for this State last week.
We do not think Georgia ever had a
better delegation than she has there
now, both in the Senate and the House.

A man who neglects his business for
a political candidate is evidently more
interested in the candidate’s success
than he is of his own business success.
BIRTHDAY REUNION.
On Sundey last the hospitable home
of Mr. and Mrs. E. 8. Cleland was
thrown open to a happy family and
birthday reunion in honor of their
mother, Mrs. George W. Cleland., Those
present were Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Alston
and family, Messrs. George and James
Cleland and families, and Mr, Ewing
Brown, of Muskogee. It was a great
digsappointment that two branches of
the family were unavoidably absent,
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Alston, of Tahle
quah, and Mrs. Barnwell, of Atlanta. It
was a sight pleasant to behold~that
crowd of loving children and grand
children gathered around their aged
mother, and she doubtless felt that it
was good to have lived through the
snowg and sunshine of saventy-five
years to find herself still the recipient
of such unbounded love and devotion.
It was an occasion long to be remem
bered.—Wagoner (Okla.) Record.
All the above people formerly lived
in Marietta.
