One of the masked me the other day of it was true that McAdoo dug ‘the tunnel under the North River ALL ALONE. I guess the name Smith” ha never been so popular in the coun try before. Generallj anybody b. the name of Smith so t of apolo gizes for it. But here, if you saw a man acting sort of naughty and stuck up, you could make up your mind his name was SMITH. There are lots of Democrats who only know the names of two Demo crats—Andrew Jackson and Bill Bryan. And they do not know that cither one of them is dead. New York certainly has done her self proud. I have never seen more attention paid to decorating and lighting. (This lighting up even ex tending to some of the delegate.) The hotels and restaurants have not raised the ante-so very much They did not have to. They had never come down. I never could understand why a man wanted to be a president.

The wise fellow does just the best that he can without knowing what’s com ing- tomorrow. We’ve all heard folks kick abouv this and ’bout that and you, too, have done plenty of stewing. You'll fret till you hardly know where you are at, and the punch drops from what you are doing. It seems it’s too easy to sit back and fret -while you park all your pep on the shelf. And yet, it’s the truth, that wherever you get, it is pretty much up to yourself. A symyathy £trhin in each fel low is found and it’s human, but isn’t it true that whenever you’re spreadin’ such sympathy.‘round you too often, feel sorry for you. You won’t need to worry ’bout s'here you are getting or fret about what labor brings, if ybu’ll turn all the energy wasted in fretting to really accomplishing things. You may think your lot is a , tough one, but then, just looking . around you assures that the lot of . a whole lot of other men is a whole lot worse than yours. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)

A, Mathews. The report declared that an investigation of the justice courts of the county proved that the books kept by tile hiajority of them were Worthless as records. ; Calling attention to the fact that such.a move would have to be done by legislative action, the grand jury recommended that local representa iives put the matter before that body at the present session. Several recommendations were made which called for legislative ac tion, among them being a record mendatidn to repeal he law provid ing for the fixing of punishment by juries and placing this duty upon the judges of the courts, giving as their reason that the judges were more competent to fix adequate and jus punishment.

Woman's Vote Change Saves Klan (Continued From Page One) ■or of denouncing the Klan, but members of her deegation brought pressure to bear on her to change her vote and in the end she yield ed to their entreaties, and while announcing she was “opposed to the Klan,” she said she wished to be recorded in the negative. Andrew' J. Erwin, of Athens, an other Georgian, all but stampeded the convention single-handed into adopting a platform plank de nouncing the. Ku Klux Klan by nfhtie. He was stopped only by the speech of William Jennings Bryan It was a case of these two and no body else in the headlines; a case of a young man versus an oldtimer of a hot head versus a cool one, of a new-comer, in politics versus the Grand Old Man of Democracy. Erwjn spoke only' a few minutes. He declared the party had two choices—to adopt the majority re port, and dodge the big issue of the campaign, or to face the issue squarely and win victory at tho polls in November. “Yes,” he shouted, “I come from Georgia, and we have been trying for five years to get you Yankees to talk about the Klan. It should be denounced by the strongest plank we can write, and tonight 1 am here to say that these Geor gians who do not vote for such a plank are not worthy of their an cestors. In the name of Father Ry an, in the name of Judas Benjamin in the name of all that is glorious in our state history, I call on them to remove this stigma on their state,” The Garden was in an uproar when Erwin returned to his seat with his own delegation, none of whom were cheering except Miss Coley. A mob descended on the Georgia group from every part of the hall. Its menibers shook hands with Erwin, bat him on the bark and finally raised him to their shoulders and carried him' witii waving banners and flaunting flags around the hall. $5,000 TO LOAN .On Americut Residence Property Phone 830 LEWIS ELLIS STlll LfflßH HEMS HOLOSUNHIdMEETING MACON, June 30.—Discussion ct the methods to be used by the dif ferent Legion Posts in the state to aid tho ex-service men in filling out his adjusted compensation blank, and the decision to start a member ship drive which wil’ bring the to tal number of Legronnairics in Georgia up to 10,000, featured the meeting of the State executive com mittee of the American Legion at the Rotel Dempsey yesterday.
