The Georgia legislature will convene next Wednesday, June 27. The "Kentucky Home-Coming Week' has proved to be a great advertisement for the Blue Grass State. - Chairman J. J. Holloway, of the Populist Executive Committee of Georgia, has Issued a call for a con vention of the Populists of the state at Atlanta on thp Fourth of July,' and -with the call 1b an address of some length'to the PopullBts of the state. Those who want to read the official document will And It in the Atlanta Journal of this date. They are making ^ fight on one of the candidates tor govornor In Texas because he,voted for state prohibition seventeen years ago; but the Charles ton News and Courier goes to the . Texan's rescue * with the suggestion that "a man can make amends for a great deal of prohibition excess la seventeen years." "Old Folks Home Week" la Ken tucky Is a thing of the past, aud It Is reported on reliable authority that the reserve Btock of the "best und purest on earth” was not exhausted, nor did any ox-Kentucklan fall to demonstrate to the satisfaction of his mother state that capacity Is a matter of birth and -not acquirement. Hump McWhorter’s lottor to the Athens Banner Is about the straight- CBt, hardest blow that has yet been dealt to Candidate Hoke Smith since the latter has been trying to ride Into the office of governor by trying to make the people believe that the state, under . a Democratic ndmlnlat rut Ion elected by the people, Is going to tho bow-wows. Mamma and the girls are packing up for the sumpier outing, while pupa has had last summer's suit nicely cleaned and pressed, sent the old shoos to tho cobbler for a new half-sole, and now prepares to stick hts nose to tho grind stone for the summer's joyful round. But papa Is a hero, and doesn't mind. He's used to It, and besides, everybody expects it of him. Rhode Island is a very small state, but she seems to be about the biggest thing in the upper house of the United States congress. Another case of the tale wagging the dog, the same not be ing said because, of lack of due respect tor either Senator Aldrich or the most august legislative body on the face of the earth, as the senate Is fond of calling itself. LET WARNER HILL GO TO THE PEOPLE. Under this caption the Macon Tele graph of today says: "The Telegraph printed In Ita Sun day Issue Hon. Warner Hill's reply to the attacks that have been made upon him as a Railroad Commissioner, and as a member of the State Democratic Executive Committee by kon. Hoke Smith. "With the personal quantity that en ters'Into this controversy we have nothing to do, but we wish to direct especial attention to his positive dec laration confirming the repeated charge that The Telegraph has made —confirming the position taken by his colleagues on the commission- and confirming the position taken by two previous commissions—that the port rate domand made by the Atlanta freight bureau—the lHsue which put that bureau’s attorney in the race for govornor — Is -a plain open-and-shut game to give Atlanta wholesale mer chants the whip-handle over all the wholesale merchants between Atlanta and the sea.’ As put by the bureau torrltory to the sea.’ “Evory merchant between Atlanta and the sea ought to understand this scheme. Tho whole of the campaign, for governor by the attorney of the Atlanta Freight Bureau Is predicated upon tho one main Issue. The Atlanta Journal announced at the start — a year ago — that that was the 'single Issue.’ "Warner Hill has spoken to the peo ple of this scheme none too soon. He Is a state official—a Democratic of ficial—and he and his administration of his office havo boftn attacked vigor ously and bitterly. He Is an honest man and a good speaker. He ought •to toko the stump ‘from Atlanta to tho - sea,' and discuss this question face to face with the people. They have been misled about It—many of thefn—In spite of the fact that tho Telegraph has been telling them tho truth about it from the start." The suggestion of The Telegraph that Hon. Warner Hill go to the peo ple and meet the Issue that has been brought Into the present state cam palgn by the attacks of one of the gubernatorial candidates upon the Railroad Commission, of which Mr. Hill is now the chairman, is timely, and The Herald rises to "second the motion." A campaign of education on the sub ject of railroad rates has never been so much needed in Georgia as lt Is today, and If the people are ever brought to a clear understanding of what the Atlanta Freight Bureau has boon attempting to have tin- Railroad Commission do “to extend Atlanta's trade and territory 1 to the sea"—the Atlanta way of presenting the "port rate” question—there will be an awak ening throughout all Middle Georgia and South Georgia. Commissioner Warner Hill Is well qualified for ho Important work of conducting such a campaign of education, and Inasmuch us he and the commission have been assailed by one of the gubernatorial candidates before the people, he would be Justified In taking the stump to de fend htniBelf and his colleagues. To the hustings, Mr. Hill. The peo ple will gladly hear you. OHOl Hist! Aha! Oho! Tho worm has turned at last. Hump McWhorter, who has been the subject of repeated attacks from Candidate Hoke Smith since the latter launched his cam paign tor the governorship, has at last taken notice of his persecutor, aud ho doesn't fall to score. In a let ter addressed to the Athens Banner, Mr. McWhorter shows that Hoke Smith, who has stated in one of tils speeches that he would retire from the race If McWhorter supported him, had a very different opinion of him as recently as 1904. Mr. McWhorter now makes public a letter addressed to him by Hoke Smith In May. 1904, asking for a personal conference with hlat "on a subject that will be of mu tual Interest to us." This, it will he remembered, was during the time when Hoke Smith and tho Atlanta Journal were raising so much sand aud noise In Georgia in the Interest of the candidacy of Judge Alton li. Parker for the Democratic nomination for the presidency, and McWhorter now produces this letter from Smith and explains thnt the latter was after a Job from Parker, and Informed him (McWhorter)', ns he also Informed others who mentioned it to him (Mc Whorter) that if Parker was elected he (Smith) expected to bo appointed attornoy-goneral. And McWhorter goes on to show that the man who Is now denouncing him so bitterly os a corporation attor ney and a man to be shunned, sought his help to get an office In 1904^—just a few days before the meeting of the State Democratic convention — Sic- Whorter then being, as now, a mem ber of the State Democratic commit tee. > And so Hoke was only seeking an office for himself then, as now. Prof. David C. Barrow, for a num ber of years a member of the faculty of tho State University, was elected Chancellor of the University by the trustees at their, meeting Monday afternoon. Judge Griggs and the Speakership. From the Atlanta News. Hon. James M. Griggs, congressman from the Second District of Georgia, passed through Atlanta last night on his way to Mllledgevllle, where he Is today delivering the commencement address and Is orator of the day at the Georgia Military College. Judge Griggs arrived In Atlanta at 3:55 o’clock yesterday afternoon and left during the evening for Macon, where he spent the night conferring with some of his South Georgia friends and business associates. He went on to Mllledgevllle early this morning and will spend the'day in that city. To night he goes to Savannah to partici pate In the funeral obsequies of Con gressman Rufus E. Lester, who died In Washington Saturday night as a result of Injuries sustained by falling through a skylight of his hotel. Judge Griggs will remain In Savannah to morrow and then go to his home In Dawson, Ga„ where he will be until Sunday, on which day he will return to Washington to resume his duties in the House of Representatives on Mon day morning. Judge OrlggB Is chairman of the Na tional. Democratic Congressional Com mittee, and he has already begun the work of an active campaign for Demo cratic control of the next House of Representatives. He expresses great hope that the Democrats may possibly be able to overcome the Republican majority in the House and take charge of that body on March 4th next. He feels greatly encouraged over the out look and thinks that the recent dis closures throughout the country, in volving the trusts and grafting sys tems, will have a marked effect on the Democratic campaign. He thinks the people are aroused throughout the United States and that they Intend to resent the misrule of the Republican party, and enthrone the Democratic organization in thp House of Repr# sentatlves. At any rate, a strong and vigorous, campaign will be made by the Demo cratic congressional committee, and Judge Griggs, will devote the entire summer and early fall months to thi great and responsible work. He hai already engaged suitable quarters for the committee at the Hoffman House In New York city, where he will be located after the adjournment of Con gress, until the campaign ends in No vember. It Ib stated that ample finan cial support has been promised the Democratic organization and that the committee wlIL be in good condition tb make an aggressive, effective and vigorous fight all along the line. While lt is true lt will be very difficult to overcome the large Republican major ity In the House, lt Is confidently ex pected by Judge Griggs and leading Democrats In Washington that from 40' to 75 seats may be taken from the Republican congressmen and given to Democrats, and It Is the strong liopo that even the unprecedented majority on the Republican side will be wiped out and the Democrats be put In the position of authority. While Judge Griggs declines to dis cuss this phase of* the situation, It Is a recognized fact that if he succeeds In overcoming the Republican major ity in the House and turning lt into a Democratic stronghold, as chairman Of the National Democratic Congression al Committee, he will be the strongest' candidate In the House for the speak ership to succeed Speaker Cannon. Judge Griggs has long been, regarded as one of the most able Democratic members of the House for the speak ership, and he has many friends who will Insist that he be elected to that position of honor, In case the House Is Democratic. This fact will increase the Georgia Interest In the congres sional campaign, hs Judge Griggs has thousands of ardent friends and ad mirers In this state who will be very glad to see him elevated to the most powerful legislative office In the world today.- Thousands annually bear witness to the efficiency of Early Risers.
