BE PERSUADED.
Reports have been emanating
from Washington for several weeks
to the effect that Tom Rell may be
persuaded to con inue in congress
for another term. Mark the word,
pursuaded.
Reports are also coming in fr m
different sections of the ninth dis
trict that Tom has been industri
ously circulating with tl e hayseed
hereof for several days thu : boldly
subjec’in * himself to undue persuas
ion and influence in this neck of
the woods.
It is also father reported that
Tom is not making the slightest ef
fort to dodge or evade any persuader
he may just happen up on in these
perambulations.
In fee these rejorts really go
so far as to openly indicate that
Tom is so fully determined to resist
all appeals, and to demonstrate to
the public that he is a man of such
iron nerve and determination that
he is not afraid to brave any per
suader in his den, that he actually
hunts them up when they fail to
seek him out, just to give them a
chance to get in their work, and
him an oppertunity to show his
power of resistance and impervious
ness to such attacks.
That : s the kind of stuff it takes
to make a good democratic whip
—one that no indifferent or re
calcitrant representative can cajole
bluff, persuade or intimidate from
doing that which he has made up
his mind to do-
We know Tom, and have such
confidence in his nerve and will
power that we are ready and will
ing to wager a few surplus shekles
with any of his enemies that he
will continue to defy and deny all
these p rsaunders, up to the very
moment the champaign opens

Georgia representatives who have
had a moment to run back home for
a week-end from Washington, are tell
ing about a typical Georgia 'possum
dinner given by Senator Hoke Smith
last week at the national capitol and
which was the talk of the whole city.
A large and Juicy ’popsum and a
mess of enormously large Georgia
yams sent to the senator were es
pecially prepared by the senate cook,
and the dinner was served in old
fashioned Georgia style. The guests
were the Georgia congressional dele
gation and Georgia’s delegation 1 0
the conservation congress.
Senator Smith, by the way, is said
to have delivered a magnificent ad
dress before the latter body, pointing
out the manner in which the conser
vation congress and the national con
gress could co-bperate for the im
provement and development of agri
cultural conditions throughout the
land.
Tallulah’s Power Felt.
Statewide effects are beginning to
be felt as the result of the harness
ing of the big water powder at Tallu
lah. The immense energy that bad
lain dormant so far as practical re
sults were concerned since the dawn
of creation, is now working with the
power of hundreds of thousands of
horses for the material upbuilding of
Georgia.
Not only in Atlanta, but every
where where the big tow'er lines run,
it is beginning to mean the encour
agement of new manufacturing indus
tries, with cheaper and better power;
a day current for all purposes where
there has only been a night current
in many instances before; a prospec
tive decrease in city and town taxes
because municipalities can now ob
tain power cheaper than they used to
be able to make it.
Recognizing the Georgia Railway
and Power Company as a "public ser
vice corporation” in the truest and
best sense of those words, encourage
ment is being offered the develop
ment in all sections of the state.
Puts Ban on Liquor.
Again a native son of Georgia and
the south is pointing the way in of
ficial Washington. So successful and
productive and good results has been
the plan of Director W. J. Harris of
the census to ban the use of liquor
among all employees, that other de
partment heads are considering the
adoption of a simlar rule.
The Georgian is not an intolerant
or an extremist on prohibition or any
other question, but he figured out
from a standpoint of practical effi
ciency that the census bureau would
be better off without any rerl noses
or breaths burdened with the odor of
spirituous, vinous or malt liquors.
The Georgian has laid down an iron
clad rule, as the fairest and best way
of handling the situation, and that is
that if a man is caught with liquor
on his breath it means that he loses
his job.
There has been a world of humor
ous and good natured comment,
much of it from the employes them
selves, but so far as serious criticism
is considered Mr. Harris’ plan has
met with onlv commendation.
Persimmon Season in Georgia.
This is persimmon season in Geor
gia. If the traveler along a Novem
ber road hears a soft thud, so gentle
indeed as to be scarcely audible, he
has only to look on either side, lo
cate the gaunt bare limbs to which
still cling like huge drops of amber
the yet unripe persimmons. Then
gaily scaling the barb-wire fence, he
can pick up the luscious mouthful
that has fallen. For that Is the test
of the persimmon—it never falls ufl
til It is primed for consumption.
Many detractors of the persimmon
don’t know this. If they did, instead
of slandering and maligning a noble
fruit, and heaping ridicule and con
tumely upon it, they might join (a
the acclaim of the cognoscenti. To
put it otherwise, never climb a free
for a persimmon; the persimmon fa
never ready to perish for the joy of
humanity until it drops.
That sly connoisseur, Mfetah Pos
sum, knows all about the persimmon,
and when occasion is dark and dirk
eyless, you can sometimes see him
slyly meandering around beneath
the tree picking the juiciest samples
with which he scurries back to safety
and feasting. But you never see a
’possum picking fruit up a persim
mon tree, all the songs to the con
trary notwithstanding.
Candler to Assist.

the state railroad commission, re

The interstate commerce commis
sion thought it well that the various

Strength For Old People.
Old people, to overcome the
weakening, debilitating effects of
increasing old age, often make a
very sad mistake in using soeallec
‘ ‘ reine/dise ’ ’ that contain alcohol
and dangerous or haibt-forming
drugs. Often this stuff, Id
ealise it livens and brightens
them) up a little after taking a
(lose, leads them to imagine that
it is doing them good, when it
isn't. Remedies that relyi for
their sale on such deceit, do harm
because the false excitement ( >f
the nerves and heart leaves them
worse than they were before.

Serator Smith Sends Application.
j Following the precedent set by
President Wilson, Senator Hoke
I Smith has applied for membership in
the Georgia Chamber of Commerce.
His application has been received by
President C. J. Haden.
i It is considered most encouraging
by the officers of the chamber that
so many of the really prominent men
: of the state, the genuinely progres
sives have applied for membership,
in cecli accompanying the application
bv the necessary fee.
In a short while an energetic cam

Athens. —In Athens, at the sugges
tion of Colonel H. C. Tuck, a move
ment has been begun for a permanent
fund to aid worthy and needy ex
slaves locally. It is believed that the
, movement will spread over the south
t until the sons and daughters of the
slave owners of the times before the
! war between the states will well and
systematically look out for the Ye
maining ones of the old regime —the
loyal, faithful old “uncles” and “mam
mies,’’ many of whom are now out
of stlye, out of work, and sometimes
without friends.
The game wardens are active
throughout the state, and already a
number of men and boys have been
caught without hunting licenses.
Another thing that is comp’icating
the pursuit of game for all except
the specially favored hunter. Is the
fact that nearly all of the best hunt
ing land in Georgia is now rigorously
posted by the owner, and that even
If a man has a hunting license, he
runs the risk of being nabbed for
trespass unless he has the express
permission of the landlord.
1,000 Corn Club Boys Coming.
Within the next week Atlantians
must open their homes to fully 1,000
Georgia boys of the corn clubs, in at
tendance on the corn show here, De
cember 2-5, inclusive.
As an aid in the work of securing
homes for all, Atlanta ministers an
nounced from their pulpits Sunday.
The fame of Atlanta has gone all
over the country for its hospitality in
opening private homes to entertain
the little chaps who are doing so
much for their state.
It would not do for Atlantians to
fail this time.
