| THE TREASURY'S CONDITION.
| According to the dispatches from
.Atianta today. Governor Smith has
received a report from the state
treasurer, showing that the appro-
btHHCKIITION PRICK $1 A YEAR prlatlons by the legislature exceed
' 111 ~ * the receipts by $768,000. These
Entered at die I uMortice at taidosta
Ga., a. Second CUM Mail Mvtcr.. »m.ropri»tlo B . were made two year*
'ago and were to cover the years 1910
it Is natural for tho friends of and 1911. If this report Is true. It
Judge Covington to feel a little sore indicates that there Is a deficit of
over the way he wa« treated lu Vi-j ,7r,s,of»0, or that the appropriations
lanta during the recent campaign,
He dated after he became a
candidate that he would not run If
Governor Smith ihould enter the
race and It wai generally understood
that he had a conference with Gov
ernor Slmlth several month, ago, the
reault being that ho got Into 11 <
raoe and (pent a good deal of time
In a canvaaa. A (Ingle word would
have saved him a lot of trouple, a
well aa embarrassment.
Tho dispatches from Wayeross
devote several Inches to a denim
that "Jet" Bowden went to see
Congressman Brantljr In Washington
City. What difference does 11 make
whether ho did or did not, and how
much does the publlo cars, either
way?
The Washington Gpiotto-Chronl-
Clo thinks that with Hoke Smith In
the senate and “Little Joe" Brown
In the governor's chair, all of the
factions In Georgia ought to be sat
Idled. It thinks that that la a very
happy solution of the situation In
this state.
Editor Pleas Stovall admits that
he admired Hoke Bmltb when he
was a member of tha Cleveland
cabinet and that be and Hoke have
always belonged to the "same school
of politics," but be takes to col
umns to tell the balance of what he
thinks.
Two Americana have offered to
act aa substitutes for tha Italian
woman who U to be hanged In Can
ada. Neither of them has agreed
“to do time" for any woman In the
clmlngang. They ara looking for an
aaiy lob.
The Washington Times seema to
think that tha "predatory Interest"
are after Hoke Smith because be la
a progressive and that they are using
Joe Tin-alt to strike him. Whenever
the “Interests” want Hoke they will
bait their book with something else.
Judge Rlcbard Russell did not
show up to make bla opening ad
dress *t Reldsvllla Tuesday. Prob
ably ha thinks that when bo made
bla announcement be bad discharged
all of his obligations to the present
campaign.
The Tampa Tribune says: "They
are calling Hoke Smith a pollttoal
bog; at that rate, hla election t
the senato at this time will save
Georgia Bacon later on.” This U
simply horrible.
Tho Savannah Press quotes Hon.
Henry Turner on the tariff question.
Editor Stovall could have gotten
some other good pointers from Capt.
Turner It ho had seen much of Mm
during the last day* or his life.
Tho Atlanta Journal admits that
tho situation la Interesting, but It
does not regard It as "acuto." The
Journal has had so many jolts that
It does not know an acute situation
when It secs It.
Tho Waycross corresnondent says
that Mr. Pope nrown Is coming to
that city to deliver an address to
"South Georgia." He will probably
want to widen the range of South
Georgia on election day.
_ Friends of Samuel R. Van Sant,
o».governor of Minnesota, want him
to becoma a candidate for United
States senator tn the Republican
primaries next year against. Senator
Knute Nelson.
An Atlanta citizen wants to give
a VIS,000 alts for the governor's
mansion free of cost. Maybe he
wants to keep down a factional row
over the question.
Governor Terrells resignation
Las been accopted by Vice President
Sherman, but at last accounts Gov
ernor Smith was determined that
Terrell shall hold on until ho saya
quit.
We think that Governor Terrell
made a mistake In attributing po
litical trading to Govbrnor-Senator
Smith. He ought to remember the
"King can do no wrong.”
Savannah autolsta are kicking
like mules on the proposed tax of a
dollar for horse-power on automo
biles. They deny that automobiles
wear out tbe roads.
are running ahead of the receipts
that much. ..
We are glad to see that Governor
Smith Is able to see It now. Two
y. ars ago. Governor Brown asked
for a report of the treasury condi
tions and the report showed that the
receipts were running behind the
appropriations about $728,000. The
suggestion that there would be a
deficit was seized upon by Governor
Smith and his Atlanta organ, who
claimed that Qovernor Brown was
trying to "besmirch the state's
credit." They claimed thnt Instead
cf a deficit there would he a surplus
of $2,000,000 on tho first of Jnnu-
Be it remembered that Governor
Biown used the figures to show that
our fiscal system was defective, that
the Hlatc was running behind, and
thnt It ahould not ho that way.
did not blame Governor Smith's ad
ministration with the condition, but
stated thnt It had been that way for
years. No other governor that we
know of had called attontlon to the
Htatos unbusinesslike policy,
stead of meeting Governor Brown’s
suggestion In the spirit In which it
wss made, every effort was made to
embarrass him and discredit his
statement by. Juggling with the fig
ures to show that no deficit existed.
But tho thing has changed. An
other hand Is'at the helm now. The
talk about ''surplus" Is no longer
Indulged Id. The public Is Inform
ed in the vary beginning that the
legislature has appropriated more
than Its receipts amount to—$768,-
000 more. And we hear, moreover,
that Hoke haa got to remain in
Georgia to try and straighten out
our "flacal system,” which he aald
was all right when Governor Brown
called attention to It. Still, they
aay he la a "business man" and "Lit
tle Joe" ta a "do-nothlhg..'
The dispatches also bring the
news that son. Marionr-Ia *In
Vtfthlngton looking after senatorial
matters and that he will call up the
"big 'un" over the long distance
•phone If things do not go right.
And the amazing thing to us is that
(Prong-minded, honest Georgians
will stand for such hypocrisy and
arrogance.
The dispatches from Marietta say
that over a wagon load of mall Jus
reached Governor Brown asking
him to becomo a candidate for gov
ernor again. And every mall adds
(c the huge volume.
Plenty of ready money to loan on
farm lands and city property on
easy terms. Call and see us. Wood-

ON THE JOB AM, RIGHT.
Reports from Atlanta Indicate
that Governor Smith Is keeping his
area upon affairs In Washington
uml that he con be depended upon
to be there if his presenco Is need
c-d. The dispatches say that he Is
In touch with the Democratic sen
ators, who keep him Informed of
what Is happening at the .national
capital and that he will hurry there
on short notice If anything should
happen that he coonstdcrs of more
Importance thnn the Job of govern
ing Georgia.
Ills-friends and the people of the
alato should breathe easier, now
Dial tho announcement Is made upon
good authority that he Is looking
after both Jobs and that neither of
them will be allowed to suffer,
will remain In Georgia to see that
the legislature enacts his will, which
la the "voice of the people”—Into
law, and he will keep hla eye on
Washington so as to move over on
that side If It should appear that
the -altuatlon Is too heavy for the
representatives there to manage.
That seems to -be the latest devel
opment In the senatorial situation.
It Is lucky for Georgia that she has
a son so patriotic, but Is It not hu
miliating that she has no other
worthy of the name!
In the mcnntlme, what will be
the result of the courts should de
ride that be cannot hold both jobs
at once and that hla election to the
senate automatically created a va
cancy In the governor's office?
Would hts acts not be Illegal and.
therefore, null and void? It looks
to ns as If President Jack Slaton,
of the senate, has been “hogged"
out of his legal right to become
governor of Georgia to fill a va
cancy caused by the election of
lovernor Smith to tho. United
States senate.
Tbe problem of keeping a big
town like Valdosta clean Is a great
me and residents,, ought to assist
In the work. Weeds on vacant lots
should b* cut down, the trash burn
ed and old cans and bottles should
be put iwhere they eannot fill up
with water, and tbps breed mosqui
toes, During the summer months,
residents cannot be too careful
about these things.
