AMERICUS. SA., JUNE 28. 1907.
The Kimball house is still head
quarters. The candidates for office
all have their rooms there.
Only fire senators wish to pre
side over the Senate. Southwest
Georgia seems to have no favorite.
Governor elect Smith, it is stat
ed, will not interfere in any way
in the election of President of the
Senate.
Reform will be rooting around
the capitol with a big B in a few
days. Some of it will be a half-
baked variety.
Public interest in Georgia will
be centered on the legislature to
a greater extent this snmmer than
ever before in many years.
Hon. Seab Wright, it is said,
has cut loose from bis dispensary
ideas and will line np for straight
in the state.
The Central has refused to
accept the assessment of 129,000,-
000, an increase of *13,000,000,
and the matter will be arbitrated.
Federal aid to education has
Been pat to sleep, and it looks
aery much as through the immi
gration movement would soon be
slumbering side by side with it.
The Macon Telegraph thinks
Democracy coaid do a great deal
worse than nominate Admiral
Schley as ita Presidential candi
date. How about Deweyt Isn’t he
■till a Democrat!
Judge Emory Speer, of the U. 8.
Court, is reported much improved.
Judge Speer has rendered some
notable decisions and handled some
cases of national importance dor
ing the past twelve montbi.
The reassuring news comes from
London that Mark Twain put
royalty quite at ease when be met
it. It was generally feared that
the King would be tremendously
embarrassed, but be seems to have
controlled his nervous system ad
mirably under the circumstances.
The legislature is to be asked to
pay the expenses of the riots in
Atlanta. The better way would
be to make the people of Atlanta
pay them. There is no reason
why the people of Georgia as a
whole should be put to tbe ex
pense. Atlanta was responsible
for tbe trouble and Atlanta should
foot the bills.
Representative S. A.Barksdale,
of Wilkes county, proposes to
amend the Insurance laws of tbe
Btste, both for the protection of
the insnranco companies and the
insured. Mr. Barksdale will seek
to have created a commission)
some of whose member^ shall be
well known insurance men, whose
doty it shall be to examine all tbe
insurance laws of tbe State and
make a report as to what extent
revision should go.
Bryan, in the last issne of the
Commoner, discusses the drift of
Ohio politics and declares that the
Taft forces are willing to make
terms with Foraker for the return
of the latter to tbe Senate. The
Commoner editor avers that such
a deal would stultify ever/ declar
ation that President Roosevelt has
made for reform, and says: “This
may be satisfactory to the politi
cians, bnt it will not be satisfac
tory to those in whom the Presi
dent has developed a real -reform
spirit, or, more accurately speak
ing, who, under the influence of
tbe President’s lsngnsge, have re
vealed the reform spirit, within
them. The Taft-Foraker fight is
tending toward the plane of a
comedy, but there are millions of
Republicans who are looking at
the matter more seriously, and
who are not willing to abandon re
form in order to preserve party
harmony. Predatory wealth never
worries about party harmony. It
leaves that worrying to tbe timid
reformers Predatory wealth
makes no concessions or compro
mises.
‘‘Compromises and concessions
are left to such reformers as prefer
a barren political victory to a real
triumph of ideals.”
Friends of Secretary Taft declare
there is absolutely no foundation
for the reportthat the Secretary is
discouraged and disgusted at the
obstacles his presidential boom
has encountered and means to quit
tbe race. The Secretary, his
friends say, is in the race to stay
and has so assured his mi
and backers on more than one
casion, both at Washington and
in the conferences he has held in
Ohio. It is also asserted that be
fore be left Washington for tbe
West tbe Secretary told Arthur I.
Vorhys, who now has fall charge
ot bis political interests, that be
was entirely satisfied with the
way his boom Dad been managed
in Ohio and could ask nothing
better than that bisjfriends should
do for him in other states what
bad been done for him there.
Governor Terrell’s last
wiH deal principally with the ed
ucational institutions of the State,
tbe common schools, the agricul
tural schools and tbe institutions
of bigber education. Governor
Terrell will recommend increased
appropriations for every educa
tional institution in the State, and
he will urge special fostering care
in behalf of tbe rew district agri
cultural schools, about to open for
work nnder bright auspices.
Some of Georgia’s $30,000 ap
nropriation for the Jamestown
exposition has been turned back
into tbe state treasury. Wbat a
feeling of disgust this will arouse
among tbe politicians of Penn
sylvania. Ther will be confirm
ed in the impression that tbe South
is away behind the times.
One of tbe wise gentlemen who
know all about it has informed tbe
French people that England pro
poses to crush the German navy
and tbe United 8tate will dispose
of that of Japan, Can’t vonch for
the former, bnt the latter would
undoubtedly be the case if Japan
and tbe United States ever got to
blows.
The Columbus Ledger believes
that tbe legislature will not be
radical. It holds that campaign
talk, as a rule, neld not be regard
ed too seriously It is very pro
bable that many pledges that
were made (Hiring tbe campaign
were not folly understood by tbe
people, who often j amp at conclns
ions the candidate did not have in
mind.
THIRD WEEK RE THE JUNE SALE.
The First and Second week one of record selling a high record for June
due largely to the extraordinary reductions made for the purpose of lessening
the backward season’s overstocks.
Opportunities of equal of erreater importance this week for you who want
UNPRECEDENTED VALUES in SEASONABLE MERCAANDISE-
The values advertised are but a small part of the values in store for you.
We do not advertise many of the best, other than placard them with “NOT
Advertised’* cards.
Georgia permits citizens of any
other state to bring suits in this
state at will for injuries received,
real or imaginary, against rail
roads, even though the injuries
were received outside of Georgia,
An effort may be made to have tbe
legislatures change- this. Suits
should be brought in tbe State
where tbe injuries were revived.
It seems to be a foregone con
clusion that tbe Central of Georgia
railroad bas been sold, probably to
Eastern parties. The public gener
ally will regret any change ih its
administrative department. Tbe
present officials are well known to
Georgians, have managed tbe
property admirably, and have
brought it np from a state of bank
ruptcy to a position where its se
curities have began to Lay divi
dends. It will not be surprising _
if there is considerable discussion Graves t0 make a c ? nvwt -
in the legislature as to the status "
of tbe Central, and the change in TAKES POSITION WITH SEABOARD
control of K la qnite.likely to pnf
yoke acrimonious debate. Robert McKay is now Night Ticket

The Savannah Press very sensi
bly remarks that if tbe Jamestown
Exposition is not a success it will
not be due to any sectional feeling
against it. Tbe fault will lie in
poor management and lack of
preparation when the exposition
opened and for some weeks there
after.

very mnch of a seidlitz powder,
