POUTICAL PEACE.
The election of magistrates Sat
urday closed one of the most stren
uous years in th< history of Georgia
polities.
When Joseph M. Brown began to
bull the political market early in
the spring there were not ten men
in the slate who Udieved he could
kindle a tire. However, there were
no lines, save the color line, and
such an enormous fire was huilded
under the old pot that she I toiled
over and washed away precedent by
refusing (inventor Smith an en
dorsement term.
This left matters in such an agi
tated state that the freak politicians
—Watson, Graves, Tapp- -appeared
upon the s*olo to take advantage
.f what they believed to be the
wreckage. But the voters of Geor
gia would have none of their isms,
md landed them all in the political
grave yard.
The Pack-handed slap adminis
t< red to James G. W oodwal'd, the j
nominee of the mongrel white pri
mary for the mayoralty of Atlinta,
was a fitting finish to the ten
months ol ,and ivnneisity•
The voters now m \v out upon
the sea of political peace and are to
have a year of perfect rest.
In view of the fact that the Ninth
Congressional district went re-pub
lican in the national election, it
seems to us the part of wisdom I>i
the counselors of democracy to us<
this breathing spell to build ten
rail fence around the party.

UAD ON KINDLY LIGHT.
At the meting of the Southern
Commercial Congress in Washing
ton Tuesday, Governor Hoke Smith,
of Georgia, chairman of the com
mittee on resolutions, read tbeet in
mittee s report, which included tan
following paragraph:
“Railroad construction in t!T<
South has been extensive, hut the
rapid commercial growth of that
section requires an e'liorinotis in
•lease in its railroad facilities to
transport to market its many a net
n 11
of such adequate facilities can he
accomplished only by assuring the 1
holders of capital that such enter
prise's will he safeguarded by eon.-
creative 1 and constructive legisla
tion, and we urge upon our south
ern legislators the aviselom of such
i policy and condemn any agitation
leading to the contrary. We favor
a spirit of co-operation lad ween the
people l and tlu* railroads, and othei
corporate interests, to thepend that
the tvquired confidence of investors
may be established in the securities
of the corporations of the* south.

RESERVED A SENSATION.
frilvey Speer, tlre young heiress
who created such a sensation be
cause she die! not marry to suit her
mamma, has Uen in Atlanta for
more than a month, hut the news
paper reporters were too busy with
Jim Woodward to give her atten
tion, and held this great Georgia
sensation until after the election.
The Atlanta papers are now filled
with photographs of this girl and
her husband and columns of slush
are being printed about a suit for
annulluicnt of the marriage by the
Speers and a counter suit by Thom
as asking elamages of the Spe*ers for
the alie nation of his wife's affec
tions.
The mamma who has kicked up
all this rukus is a daughter of old
man John Si Ivey, and we happen
to know that the family of young
Thomas compares with that of the-
Si Iveys, and them some.
It is disgusting to note how the
newspapers and humanity in gen
eral toady t> tlu- small per cent of
wealthy families who seek noto
riety.
Hardly a week passes in Atlanta
hut what some young girl Incomes

lie veal her intense suffering.
Mr. W. A. Brewer was out and
heard the cry of the child, but

--! ral neighbors ran to the child hut

’I lie parents are 1 almost prostrate
with grie f, and have the sympathy
of many friends in Hoscliton.
PKOSPTHOURS WINDER.
It is indeed wonderful to read
j lav after day the fabulous suns
! paid for real estate in the city of
I Atlanta, but it is not more wonder
: ful than the tremendous profits
! that these deals carrv. This, in a
comparative sense, is trip 1 with
! property in our little City of Win
dew-
Many of our hi st citizens earn trace
! the large r part of their net worth
|to tlu 1 steady and ever increasing
| advance in city property,
i You can scarcely find a business
| man here 1 hut will tell you that if
they had just invested in property
ten years ago how much money
they could have made. 1 . Now, if
| they etiuld only turn the pages in
ito tlu* future 1 and see 1 ten years
hence 1 , the champs are* jusa us gi*od, ,
.1 not better, for the very t
' mason that now the foiu.datiofi for!
a goodly city has been well laid.!
upon which a great city etm Ik
built.
Right now we hear from some ,
of our good business men the
formation of plans looking to the
organization of a company that will;
mean a great*deal to the progress of
Winder It isa trust or deveiopihetit [
company. Whatever it is, we* wish I

ti em well.
Let each of us do everything we-!
can to beautify our town, .plant!
every shade tree we can, have every
house painted, and in a wend, pul! j
