One source of consolation is that the primary is not quite a month off. There will be something doing politically every minute from now te the 19 of August. With Tom Watson and Hugh Dorsey on the stump how can it be dull times in Georgia? Than Dr. L. G. Hardman no cleaner man has ever offered for the governorship of Georgia. The man who said politics would not get hot this year sim ply misunderstood the question. It seems to be a case of Slaton against the field. If they want to beat him they will have to con centrate. North Georgia editors are mis taken. South Georgia editors are mistaken. God’s country is right herein Middle Georgia. If Joe Brown is elected senator it will be by the vote of the far mers and those living in the small towns. This has always been his stronghold and so will it be this year. Many an editor will find it hard to get down to work this week after having been so royally en tertained in Commerce. Athens, Tallulah, and Clayton during the press meeting. The voters have a perfect right to know how all candidates stand on all local and state issues. As a rule the people are too easily satisfied, waiting until the candi date is nominated before finding out his policies. Make them un bosom themselves. “Know Georgia first,” ought to be the slogan of every native son. North Georgia has some of the prettiest scenery to be found in the world, barring none. That section when properly advertised w’ill be the mecca for thousands of tourists. Atlanta is destined to be a great educational center. The last stroke was the winning of the Methodist University to which Asa G. Candler gave $1,000,000. This followed close ly Oglethorpe university, the Presbyterian school. These with other institutions and Georgia Tech places Atlanta in the fore front of educational advance ment. Commerce more than made good in her entertainment of the Georgia Weekly Press Associa tion. The citizens of that pretty and enterprising city certainly know how to entertain. Com merce is a good town, in a good county and the people are known far and wide for their hospitality. The recent meeting of the press association was probably the most successful ever held. It is a disgrace to Georgia that the politics of the state are map ped out, dictated and run by a corporal's guard of Atlanta poli ticians. Their program is going to be badly splintered this year. When it comes to backbone Lit tle Joe Brown has more of it than any man in the state. The pro gram of political “peace” left Mr. Brown out of it, but he is going to knock down several play houses before the thing is over. GRAND AND TRAVERSE JURORS AUGUST TERM GRAND JURORS. \V. B.

The Lawrenceville News Her ald views it this way: “When Governor Slaton induc ed the legislature to save Geor gia by enacting the tax law he did the greatest work any public man has accomplished for the state in half a century. “The attack made upon it by the demagogues and dodgers has signally failed, while the honest men and women of our grand old commonwealth are singing his praises.” Still On The Job. Cordele Dispatch: The eleventh good reason why we are for Gov ernor Slaton for the Senate is be cause he did not resign the gov ernorship but held to the office to which the people had elected him and is attending to its duties at the capitol, and not running over the state making political speech es.” Slaton Has The Lead. The Thomasville News says: “Very few impartial men in the state will deny that Slaton has a substantial lead in the race for the senate.” No Line Up. Waycross Journal: “We do not believe, in fact we know that there is no line between Slaton and Brown, or between Slaton and Smith, or between Slaton and any other candidate, or be tween Hoke Smith and any other candidate for any office.” Wants Another Party. Vidalia Advance: The truth is, the presence of a few thousand Republican voters in Georgia would be a good thing for Geor gia Democracy. Democrats of the state do not appreciate the pri mary. If we had enough Re publican voters it would force us to put up a more limited and determined fight. As it now is, factional fights within the party are disgraceful. Republican op position would unite our people and make us appreciate a real primary election law.” Good Drawing Card. Moultrie Observer: “The peo ple seem to be enjoying the sen atorial race. Hardwiek is a fine performer, and John R. Cooper is said to give an entertainment that is a perfect scream.” County Unit Rule. Athens Banner; “The county unit rule in Georgia will never be overturned. It is the correct rule and the people of the state will back it up now and in the future.” Candidates Capture Kimball. DeKalb New Era: It is said that a drummer went to the Kim ball House the other day and asked for a room and was told that the entire house was let to candidates for headquarters or to their managers and friends. It looks like the man who can carry the Kimball house ought to be elected. Wants Rover Taxed. Covington News: The taxing of dogs seems to have been for gotten entirely in the state of Georgia since the original dog KEEP KOOL These hot days by refresh ing yourself at Slaton’s foun tain, where the besftof every thing to drink is served.
