What strange •oTitrUOuns of rho 'laws of supply ar.d • ievr.and are these! Governor Brown's message and let ter to the people of Georgia Is a very satlsfactorv document as regards the issues of the campaign as they are be ing carried out by the friends of. the governor. They afe clearly and force fully stated and carry conviction with them. With the intention ct discarding the unimportant issues ol the campaign. Governor Brown has selected the gist of the matters that are of the greatest importance to the people of the state and has discussed them briefly and l/i masterly manner. He shows that the ue and cry* that has been raised by the Smith forces relative to the regis tration law has nothing In It beyond a misrepresentation of facts, as the only- objection that was brought against the law In the legislature was that the time of registration as fixed at six months was too long and should be changed to thirty days. The subservlenoy of the members of the railroad commission to the whims of Mr. Smltti, according to the views of the duties of the commission a3 he'.d by Mr. Smith iwhen he was gov ernor, come in for a share of the con sideration given to the Waycross ut terances of the ex-governor. Governor Brown stiows clearly that under the action of the commission the people of the state are now saving more than a million dollars in lessened charges U transportation, while the action of Governor Brown while he was a mem- iber of Hie commission Has .been up held by the members of the commis sion appointed by Governor Smith. A vigorious defence of the plan of paying the teachers of the state as proposed Iby Governor Brown as the only practical one Is also made In the letter In a way that Is indisputable and convincing. A stinging rebuke Is giv en to the Indiscriminate and reckless charges made by the Smith forces that the voters who elected Governor Brown at tee last election are “rail road ringsters,” ‘■hoboes,’’ "bums,'' '■liquor dealers,” or, as the modified terras now being used by the Smith men have It, "reactionists." Very tersely and convincing and by the use of the actual statistics in the matter, Governor Brown shows conclusively that though he received a large vote la the cities when be was elected before, that he was nevertheless electeJ mainly by the vote of the farmers of the state. Governor Brown gives a knock-out blow to the wild and Irra tional charges relative to this whlci have been repeated time and again during the. present campaign by the Smith speakers on the stump. The final consideration given by the governor Is to the one great Issue that includes all the others, the fact that “Ex-Governor Smith’s contention Is that his policies must have •preced ence over the platform of the demo cratic party, and that his will must supplant that of the people of Georgia." That Is the great Issue of the cam paign, declares Governor Brown. He stresses the Independence of tbe Insti tutions and the government of tho state, which he has endeavored to maintain and support and in conclus ion expresses faith In the people to re elect him to thie governorship at the coming primary. The tone of the entire message is one of sincerity and manliness, which has characterized Goverflor Brown In all of his ofilclal acts. He stands now, as he did before, for prosperity and constructive government, which has been exemplified admirably by his ad ministration. The Governor’s utter anccs are eminently clear and satisfac tory, and they characterize an admin istration that the people of Georgia will approves at the polls on Augus 23.

Local automibKe enthusiasts will be Interested in the passage by the gen eral assembly of the bill Introduced by representatives from several counties of the state to require state registra tion of automobiles in '»eu of the municipal registration now required. The need of such a law became man ifest with the general introduction of the automobile In the state, and It was Imperative that such legislation be enacted. The fact that the law has not been passed until now has given time for Hue needs of the situation to become manifest and to be more thoroughly gauge! by the legislators than would have been possible had this legislation been undertaken earlier. The automobile Is a vehicle . that practically annihilates distance, giv en good roads and a dependable ma chine, so that the passage of automo biles from one section of the state to •he other has become general. Only a state reglstratlou of automobiles 'Will adequately meet the requirements of the conditions that now prevail and which will be accentuated and empha sized as time passes. The bill whtc.i has passed the general assembly can not fall to meet with the approval of the people of the state, though It ca.i hardly be expected to cover entirely conditions which change so rapidly as to make further changes in the pro visions of the law necessary from-time to time. Under tUo provisions of tho law It la made a mlsdemeantr for any person- to operate a machine without the ap-j proval of the owner. This Is a salutary provision and one which will meet, with hearty approval. No lntoxloated person Is permitted to operate a ma chine, and no person under sixteen years of age, unless he has had a year's experience, and is accompanied by the owner. The law also provides for a reasonable rate of 3peed to be main tained at all times, while It Is expect-1 ed that the speed should not be more ^ than 6 miles per hour when an auto mobile approaches a crossing, bridge or railroad. Each automobile must have a number obtained from the sec retary of state And conspicuously dis played. As a further protection to the automobllists.

IMITATION SIM'EREST FLATTERY. (Mascen Telegraph.) That ls a great tribute to Joseph M. Brown which) ex-Gavernlr Smith and some of his leaders -Sre paying to the governor In their efforts to Imi tate his campaign if two years ago. They no longer sneer at the “lioks" of Brown. No longer ask. “have ylq seen him ” No longejt charge ment’.l Incapacity, and no longer lnsfnuate ugly and nasty things. That Is, they do nit do these thlng3 out In the open. They have learned a lesson and apparently are trying to practise lt for necessity's sake, but the cost does not lit them. Their effort, are superficial. But the compliment to the governor Is Just tee same. The fire of denunciation anil damna tion which so characterized mist of their speakers two years ago ls lack ing, except In one local Instance, si far as we know. If fir nothing else. Brown deserves the thanks and the votes of the peop'e if Georgja fir this lesson he has taught the fire-eaters. unn would bring many good citi zens to Georgia nil would be one of greatest advertisements the *a!e could possibly have. With an over-abm dance of land In Georgia, the people as a general prop osition, it Is claltr.e!, are too care- !f?s In their metholi of agriculture.

A "rat" famine Is threatened from the strike of New Y'ork halrworkers. Will this change the style of dressing hair? The latest and most successful sci ence healer mixes powders with pray ers with fine effect. There's nothing like making dead sure of an uncertain thing by trying both plans. A facetious American ottizen saps has a quotation that applies, as he views It. with peculiar force to Hoke Smith. It Is from Lowell, and Is as follows: But consistency still wuz a part ot his plan— He'd ben true to ONE party, an' thet U himself. There's a lot of noise behind the Smith campaign. August 23 Is apt to demonstrate Use absence of sufficient votes. Some of Gov.. Brown’s expressions, In his letter to the public, must have cut through a certain geiV-oman's hide about as a bullet from the latest high power rifle cuts through the hide of a rhinoceros. They must have cut and they must have stung. While the attempted assassination of Mayor Gaynor was a personal matter with the man who fired the shot, he undoubtedly expressed In his pistol the hostile sentiment against the May or on the part of many office holders whom he has compelled to give to the public a fair measure of service far the money paid them. One bane of American politics is the vast armr ol city employes giving but a small turn for the salaries paid th<em. This clast resents every effort to enforce a change with regard to their privileges to rob the public. For Letters of Administration. GEORGIA—Sumter County. To All Whom It May Concern: Mrs. M. E.
