Columbus Is In the hands o.’ tho HOwell'-Smlth "J'lo spute" today. , And we don't envy our neighbor a whit. |l Bob Fitzsimmons Is u good weep er. He followed his wlfo out to South a, where she had gone to lnstt- tute divorce proceedings, and cried over-her until Bhe relentod and agreed to take htin bach. — Tho Atlanta Constitution announced lu advance that I. would publish vor batlm reports of the joint debit If- . speeches o Messrs. Howell and Smith at Solnmbtts toilnv Tills Is pot-baps more than any ether paper In the state will care to do. At thlB writing we don’t know how * the Howell Smith jolpt dobnto at Col- ’ nimbus Is going to terminate—wheth er In q row or In nn oratorical -victory for one candidate or the other, but The Herald 1b purposed to have % {j representative In the proas gallery or somewhere In tho mob, and .we shall probably get something from him be fore going to prosa, although the de bate will not be over at that hour. f This timely par.igrap'i Is from the Savannah News: “There are seme drivers of automobiles who imagine that, when they toot their horns con- tlnuously or'ring their bells without cealsng, they have discharged their ‘nil duty to the public, and that if any person then gets under the wheels It Is the persons’ own fault. l As a matter of fact, the careful and '. skillful driver will use the horn or 'the bell only occasionally, and in ev ery instance give the ‘other fellow’ - the benefit of any doubt that may ' arise.” H&' ; The City Council is evidently con sidering well the petitiona of the two railroads that want franchises through fTont street—the Albany & Northern a right of way through the cltv fur It's proposed extension, and the Geor gia Northern a tr«cl: t.o the proposed Hite for Its terminals. The railroads riming into Albany have always been ted all they have wanted . :rom tho city government, s ( > far a.^ use of streets Is concerned, and pending applications here referred Will, no doubt, be granted, in some form, but in view of past experience | witb # the railroads ind their use of : the,streets it is well to have a defi nite understanding with vcference to gradings, crossings, street and track Is, etc., before Anal action is I...— ' ———I - O CANDIDATES AND RAILROAD 'N GEORGIA AND ALARAMA. labuma a Mr. Comer Is rovernoi, and he 13 tell- e of that state how they 1 -.criminated against and . .e railroads, and In his it seem? that he Is holding c rgla railroad rates as some- . c* what Alabama ought to i 1 ■ re In Georgia Hoke Smith is running for govornor and charg ing tl»e Railroad Commission and tho railroads with various discrimination?, a riioiis and other sins against • lie people, and in some of his speeches o has held up the Alabama rates ns .(/tier than thosr “f Georgia. In both eases It is a *»ort of calami iy howl and an' apparent effort, to ap peal to the prejudice of the common herd against the railroads anil "soul less corporations." ^ The Montgomery Advertiser, noting how the two candidates are exposing each other ns thej both fire at the same imaginary enemy, says: "Mr. Comer holds out the Geor gia railroad rates as the very personification of what is right and proper, yet over in that state there Is a candidate for gov ernor whose stock in trade is de nunciation of Georgia railroad rates, and demand for a change. Tho Georgia man has hold up the rates hero In Alabama, as being hotter than thoso enjoyed in Geor gia. When Mr. Comer spoke at Union Springs he was asked by a farmer and Confederate soldier, ‘Mr. Coiner, if tho freight rates in Alabama are so exorbitant, and so much greater than In Georgia, how* is it that the Montgomery merchants can sell goods deliver ed at our doors cheaper than At lanta merchants?’ This question Mr. Copier didn’t answer, although ho talked all around It.” Tho situation presented by those two candidates and their respective campaigns soemB to he about like this: The Georgia railroad rates are all had and wrong in Georgia, but good enough to run for govoronr on in Alabama, while the Alabama rail road rates are all had and wrong In Alabama, but good enough to run for governor on In Georgia. Funny, Isn’t It? Several Important decisions were emlerod by the supreme court of Georgia yesterday. One reversed the decision of Judge Cnnn, of tho Chat ham county court, granting an it Junction against certain railroads to restrain them 'rom. putting Into ef fect the freight rate on stoves* from certain points In U10 state. In com pliance with art order passed by the Railroad Commission, while another decision dealt with the liquor trafilc in the state and the Southern Express Company. Tho first decision knocked out Judge Cnnn bv simply declaring that the case he had decided was not within his jurisdiction, while in tho other ease it was held that the ex press company was a common carrier and that an ordinance by the town council of Lawrenceville placing a li cense of $1,000 on any company car rying liquor into that town was un constitutional and null and void. S ill another important and far-reaching decision of the state's highest tribun al was to the effect that the Georgia Railroad and the Central of Georgia Railway were liable f or taxes on tlf- rcon thousand shares of the Western Railway of Alabama stock as far back as 1895, and that tho Central was lia ble for the year 1000. A million dol lars is involved in this suit. Tho preachers, especially those who are single and of marriageable age, can’t be too careful especially at the North, where the people carry all their troubles, including their •ove affairs, into the courts. A ease in point is reported from Pittsburg, Pa. S cite weeks ag° a preacher in hat burg, patted a girl on the arm one evening and ^marked to her .hut the weather was fine. She is now siloing him for breach o’ promise. Her One New Year Resolution. From the Philadelphia Hut otin. “Did I make any New* Year resolu tions?’’ repeated the Bachelor Girl. “Yes. one. Want, to know? Oh, well, I don’t mind telling you. V?e made up my minfi to spend next Christmas dif- ferenUy. •■I intend to make an, altcgather <U- ) ferent disport.i'n o my i ris nts here after. The places that luew them shall know them no mcra, and the wilderness, where no presents have ever been is going to blossom with mine. You see, It’s this way: When I sat down to think it all ovei—the wor ry and fuss and the money I spent— I came to the conclusion that outside of the nearest and dearest, I -ave only three or four gifts thf.t were really worth while; that is, that gave me any ac’ual happiness to give, and brought real Joy to others. 'These three or four wera the ones T gave to—wtdl, it doesn’t matter whom, but they were people who sad ly needed them, who didn’t expect them, and who couldnt’ make any re turn, except a broken gratitude that hurt you to listen 4 o. "Why no, certainly I’m not crying,’’ and the Bqchelor Girl smiled dash’ng- ly through moist eyes. "But I don’t mind telling you U was the happiest part of my Christmas. And hereafter, those are tho sort of people I’m go ing to give to. 1 "I think I shall write a jolly llt'lo note to each of tho relatives and friends with whoir \ usually exchange presents. I shall send these notes long enough befo.'c Christmas to fore- stall anybody’s buying presents for me. "In the notes I shall convey my best love and my Christmas wishes. I shall also explain why I intend to send no presents this year—that t purpopo making all rny gifts to those whose only claim upen ire is their need. I shall add that I am certain they will like this original method of disposing of their gifts. And I shall further say that if they want to make me happy and to enjoy the jolliest kind of a Christmas themselves, they will pleas- take the money they had Intended t-> spend on me, and do likewise with it. In this way every dollar we give will be woll spent, and make somebody really glad. "So that’s my nen year resolve. Tin- selfish? That’s all yo.u know.” The Bachelor Girl laughed. "It’s horribly selfish. Didnt I tell you I was going to do It. merely because it made me happier?” Give my regards to Broadway. 9-tf Tii JONES & SMITH Tltlt) Guaranty and Loan Co.
