DR. O. B. Bush, of this city, is a
r-robable candidate for the of-
I fice railroad comm; - oner to si -
I ceed Commisioner J. A. Pery. o
Gaines, lie. While Dr Bush has
made no definite announcement of
his intentions it is known that he is
I seriously considering ent-ring J rt '
race at the proper time. Dr. Busii
realizes that an announcement of his
candidacy a this time would be pre
I mature as the Democratic primal.v
will not !•<• held before August. How
ever. h<' has received numbers of let
ter: fr< m all parts of ' e state urg
ing him to make the race against
cither Commissioner Murphy Candler
of Atlanta, or Commissioner Perry
of Gainesville, whose terms expire
Dec. 1. 192" and both of whom must
seel: re elottiop in the next Demo
cratir primary. He has fully decided
that s'ronlij he enter it would be
against M*. Perry.
Much dissatisfaction among the
voters of the state has developed
against members of the present com
mission, with the single exception
of John T.Bouluillet ,of Macon. A
great deal, of opposition to present
members of the railroad commission
was brought about by recent decis
ions of t hp' commi t ion in allowing
the Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph company a raise in rate
and granting the Georgia Railway
and Power company, of Atlanta, the
right to charge a higher rate for ga'
The comi lit sion more re, ently af-<
tempted t<\'allay some of the opposi
tion in Fulloh county by Ordering the
gas compaPv to lower <h"ir charges
from. *he previous high rate allowed
them by the commission, but "hwtgjna
from the letters received hv Dr. Bnsb
from iliffment counties of Die. staff},
this one tljing has served to make t'bo
voters mofe determined than ever to
defeat this# members of the com
mi ion re’iponsible for the increases
DR. Busfo dwS been active in state
politics for a number of years
ha.ing setved a. a member of Lie
lower houbi, of the general assembly
for two terms. He represented Mil
ler county during the year -of 1
1901, seme, years later moving to
Mitchell county and was elected to
the house, from this county in Id IS,
serving diring the years of ldCt-2 >,
voluntariljr retiring after this service.
He was a ■member of the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee during
the years-1916-20. He is a graduate
of the Augusta Medical col! ge and
is well qualified to fill the office. He
is extensively acquainted throughout
■the state and it is cer'.am that should
he definitely decide to enter the race
that he will receive strong support
from all parts of the stale.
Dr. Bush in discussing his prob
able candidacy called attention to the
fact that South Georgia has no repre
sentation on the Railroad commission
and as for that matter has never bad.
The present commission is composed
of two members from Northeast
Georgia, one from Middle Georgie .
and the other two reside in North
Georgia. He feels, as does many oth
er citizens of this section of the state,
that South Georgia is entitled to at
least one commissioner, not only from
a standpoint of protecting its inter
ests, hut from a standpoint of fair
'ncas and justice to all sections of the
state.
Dr. Bush feels that if he can se
cure the support of the voters of
South Georgia, and confidently abe
lieves he can, that the voters of oth
er sections of the state will readily
assume that South Georgia is entitled
to at least one representative on the
commission and that it would be com
miativoly easy to secure the nomina
tion. It ip his intention at an earlv
date to make known whether he will
se4k the nomination or not.

THE PARARBLE OF THE GREAT
GUN.
By Dr. William E. Barton.
a A ISI.TED a Battleship, I and 'v 1 -
• turah, and it w;..-. Gome Ship.
: Yes, it was the Flagsfiip of the Flee.
■ and it bare upon its Turret,- a great
iletler E, which being ie.t. rpreted is
; BxceMc.it in Marksmanship, and upon
its Smokestacks another E, which
meant Excellent in Engineering.
And the Captain treated me
kindly, and spake courteously unto
Returah, and we sat down in hi..-
Cabin and held conwerse one with
anol her.
Likewise the Admiral, when he
knew that we were on board, sent
for us, and we sat down with him
in his Cabin.
And we drank Tea, and there was
nothing that we desired that wa:
not done unto us.
And the Ship had Great Guns, and
twelve of them carried shells that
were almost a Cubit in Diameter.
And the Captain p; rmitted me tc
point one of the Great Guns, and to I
turn it on its Axis, and to raise ii i‘
and to lower it.- And it was very
easy. Likewise did I look througi,.
a Telescope that was fastened io t-e ■
gun, that I might see where T was j
pointing it.
And I spake unto the Captain say- ;
ing, 1 am a Fair Sho; v’th a Ri-’le,,
but this kind of Gun i. a I.iitle i>e-;
yt nd my Caliber and Range.
And the Captain said, Thou art
mistaken. It is much e .wi . r to shopt i
this gun than a Rifle. Far with the
Rifle you must, get three things in
line—th 4 object and Ihe for'sight
and the ’rindsight. But with thm, the
man in the conning towir givethl
the the Range and the Correction,
for the Wind, and a 1 ! el.- hat llio.i'
needeU', and thou hast only to goti
the crosrs-wires of the Teees-.’ope upon|
the object and hold 4 hi.-uv there, and
that it all there is of it.
And I examined the Great Gun.'
and it was even so. For t > r > was ;
no labor of bringing the foresight
down into .the notch upon the rear
end of the barrel, and then hunting,
around to see if the targe* was any- ;
where on the same side of the Ship,
for there was the Target and there
were the cross-wires, a ;, d ,w:is
