nmuonii VALDOSTA, OL, MTOBOAT, JW* S* ISM* VALDOSTA SEMI-WEEKLY TIME U. C. BRANTLEY, Editor F. L. TURNER* IiusincM Manager | 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- wai-d aud Smith. 4-7-d-tueserfrl. w 8at.-tf. Times. Want Ads 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.
