The knowing ones predict several changes bn the political slate. We have one citizen w'ho expects to land a foreign appointment. He says that he has noticed that no applicant from Georgia will be cbn- sidered unless he or she can show that he or she was an original Wil son man and a follower of Hoke Smith. He, however, says that he will apply for this particular ap pointment upon the grounds that ho never was, and never will be a fol lower of Hoke Smith, or an original Wilson man. He will apply for the position of United States Consul to the Fiji Islands. He says that the inhabitants are cannibals and live chiefly by subsisting upon U. 3. Consuls. Therefore, he thinks that Wilson and Hoke would be pleased to appoint him consul, thinking that the cannibals would eat him, and that they would get rid of one voter who was and is against them. We have another accomodating j citizen who says that he Is going ' to write to President Wilson, that if Secretary of State Bryan can’t live on a $12,000 a year salary, that he can and will. If Wilson will give Washington.
