Americus Times-Recorder: If
prohibition were put to a vote m
the entire South, and confined to
the white vote, this section would
go dry by fully a million votes.
Nashville Herald : Governor
Hode administered one historical
kick and the people have register
ed another. Little Joe Brown
took his like a man, and Hoke
will have to do the same.
Valdosta Times : If Governor
John A. Johnsou fails to land the
presidential nomination at Den
ver his friends will use every en
deavor to have him accept a re
nomination for the governorship.
The Minnesota conveusion will
not bo hold until late next fall.
Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer-Sun
in speaking of the late primary,
says: The primary wns a nation
al event. The eyes of the whole j
country were on Georgia, and the
old state acquitting herself in
most creditable manner, is now re
ceceiving the congratulations of
the American press.
Lyons Progress: Hoke Smith
carried only three precincts in
Toombs county and one of them,
the 89th. was by a very small ma
jority. Brown carried the other
rour precincts and with the excep
tion of Vidalia bis majorities
were good. Two years ago the
county went for Gov. Smith.
The Hawkinsville Dispatch and
News: Judge George C. Edwards,
ordinary of Lee county, is said to
ho the oldest ordinary in Georgia.
He is 83 years old, and has held
his present office for 28 years.
Judge P. T. McGriff has held the
office of ordinary of Pulaski coun
ty for 36 years, and has just been
re-elected for another term of 4
years. He is now in his 76th year
and is well preserved for a man ot
his age.
Savannah News : South Geor
gia certainly deserves some of the
honors of the recent, political cam
paign and victory. Chatham was
the banner county of the state in
the Brown column, but many of
her sisters did remarkably well
and deserye recognition. Wo have
hopes of seeing South Georgia giv
en her rightful and deserved place
in the state’s political pictnre by
the new regime.
Atlanta Constitution: The New
York World doesn’t like the idea
of changing the words of “Dixie.”
It says that in thinking that the
old words ‘•cinnamon seed and
sandy bottom” and the rest, are
not good enough the ladies are
mistaken. What set “Dixie” go
ing, what made Lincoln call it the
best song'of the war, what makes
Now York’s theatre and restaurant
audiences thrill with it, though
they may never have been further
south than Atlantic City, is itsi
spirit. The words have “go.” By!
the memory of the lips that have
sung them they should be protect
ed from change. Only so oau the
song retain its history and its sen
timent.
Dublin Times: Gov. Glenn of
North Carolina, in a speech at Ar
lington cemetery Suuday, said lie
longed to see the day when the
names of Abraham Lincoln and
Ulysses Grant shall be loved and
respected in every nook and cor
ner of the old Confederacy, and
when the names ot and Jack
son will be cheered in Maine,Mas
sachusetts and California.” How
ever desirable that state of mind
and heart might be it is far from
realization until the dominant
North ceases to regard the South
as a vassal and allows this section
to participate in affairs of govern
ment otherwise than in paying its
burden of taxes. Paying billions
of pension money to those who
whipped us nud not a dollar to
those who fought only for their
rights, is not a successful way to
reconcile the South to the glories
of a reunited nation.
Eastman Times-Jourual : Mr.
William Jennings Bryan was acci
dentally locked m the White
House during the governors’ con
vention. This time next year Mr.
Bryan may be carrying a latch to
that establishment himself.
The Americus Tiraes-Recorder
thinks if prohibition were put to

confined to the white vote, this
section would go dry by fully a

How OUmM Afausttl Mlm**it.
An interesting anecdote of the
elder Dumas, illustrating the au
thor’s perennial flow of fine spirits,
has been told. A gentleman calling
on the creator of “Monte Cristo”
had been ushered into a room ad
joining the host’s studio, the serv
ant telling him to go in, as 51. Du
mas was alone.
At that moment, says the narra
tor, I heard a loud burst of laugh
ter from the inner apartment, so 1
said:
“I would sooner wait until mon
sieur’s visitors are gone.”
“Monsieur has no visitors. He is
working,” remarked the servant,
with a smile. “M. Dumas very
j often laughs like this while at his
work.”
It was true enough. The novel
ist was alone, or, rather, in company
with one of his characters, at whose
sallies he was simply roaring.

With the selection of Memphis

and the election of General Clem
ent A. Evans of Georgia, as eom
mundor-in-chief to succeed the
late General Stephen D. Lee, the
United Confederate Veterans ad
journed their annual convention

of the place of meeting aroused
great rivalry between Memphis
and Atlanta, those two cities be
ing the only ones put iia nomina
tion. Strong spoeches were mad”
for each place but when Virginia
came over to the side of Memphis
the Atlanta supporters realized
that the fight was lost.
General Clement A. Evans, the
new commander-in-chief, is one of
the most loved men in the army.

ginia revolutionary parentage. He

at twenty one, and state senator

menced while he was exempt from
military service, yet he joined a
company in his county in Janua
ry, 1861, and began his military
career. He was first elected major
of the Thirty-first, Georgia regi
ment and then promoted to Colo
nel. General Evans succeeded
succeeded Gordon in command of
the division. His service was in j
the army of Northern Virginia. J
He participated in all the battles

Maryland and Pennsylvania. In
command of his division at. appo
mattox he made the last fight of
