It is a worthy ambition to want to be Governor of Georgia, but there are more people who would gladly accept the position than there m opportunity for. We are ii it, surprised that, just at this juncture, several are debating with themselves and their friends tin- propriety of making a tryout t•»r the ooveted otliee. II is be lieved by snnie that the refusal of II iii. Hoke Smith to make tin race leaves a very large element in this State who would auto matically and unconditionally fall to the support of any man that would oppose the present in cumbent. liut is this a fair ami aeeurate conclusion? Alter u hard-fought butt le two years ago Hun.. Joseph M. brown was elected Governor. Ama jori ty of the people had fallen out with Governor Smith and they demanded a change. The change wan made. Some who voted for the change knew little *>l the man for whom they cast, their ballots, and they regarded it as an expari ineiit. These men are n >\v wholly convinc.nl that the experiment, has proved successful. The then hugely unknown man for whom they voted has made good. Not a corporal’s guard, if any, will fall awuy from the support of Gov ernor brown for a second term. Os course where there were two, or three, or four applicants for an ollice the Governor could appoint but one. We know absolutely of noue of these disappointed ones that will oppose the re-dent ion of Governor brown, Imt we know by the experience of every other Governor that, there are always s.ene of that kind. There will probably Is* fewer tins year t han usual. but The Telegraph hears from all quarters of the State that the I 10,1(00 who put brown in the Governor's chair will stand fora second term for him this year. It also hears that, a large percentage of those who voted against him will vote for Ins re election against any comers. It was known a month or more ago that a large number who voted 1 r Smith two years ago were go ing to vote for brown tins year,, even if Smith run again. Since' Smith has declined to run, still another large contingent has al ready declared that while they w mid have voted for Smith they will now prefer brown to anv one that should run. The Telegraph has a letter from a prominent Georgian who says lie “sat up” three hours with lb>kc Smith within a few days, and “urged him with all mv pow er to announce,” etc., but since he declines, that Georgian savs : “Speaking for myself, as mat ters now stand 1 shall cease to importune Governor Smith to run, Imt rat her commend his de termination, under existing eir cu instances, not to run; and it appears to me that the best thing for us all now to do, is to let the present incumbent of the chair ot state, the game little rooster from Cold* county, have# second term without further opposition.” This is the feeling that pr e \.. is. Let us have p. ace. Nobody assails Brown's a.luuniustration. He is impregnable, lie lias made good with a rush. Georgians have always given t heir Governors a second term, except in one in stance, and then they believed they had good reasons for withhold ing that reward. Macon Tele graph. insect Powder kk: lb. Motin) Yvruou Drug Co. , A GLORIOUS AND SAFE FOURTH. “Dynamite is not essential to patriotism, but neither is total I abstinence from fireworks neces sary to a sane Fourth,” says tin- Woman's Home Companion ' for June. “Washington, for in stance, had, in 1909, a municipal , fireworks display conducted by experts, lasting two hours, wit nessed by forty thousand people, and will have another this year. Ihe money was subscribed by business men, Tin-works bought p • I a linn willing to send men t<> set them off and the exhibition held in an open space where no, damage to life nor building could, nor did, result. An automobile 1 parade, with priz<-H, was arranged by a local newspaper, boat, clubs I Judd reguttns, and a general exo dus for a picnic day and a day in tlw country occurred. For those i: J who had a mind for it., patriotic 1 assemblies were held, the Declara tion rend and music played its part. And Washington found it worth while, as Toledo lias, and . Chicago and Cleveland. New York City joins the procession this year. 'There wall lie no go ing back to the old ways. The - new way lias been tried and found admirable. “What Washington tins done on a large scale you, in your fam -1 ily and in your neighborhood, can do wit h equal effect. Y'oii may not lie able, this first year, to change public sentiment in y< nr community, but you can change it in your own circle. And if you cannot persuade your friends to choose the right course with you, at. least you can do this much for t hem : Show them this page. .Make them understand the nature of the danger they face. Above all, tell them that if your words and the words of their trusted physician have no weight on the quest inn of deny ing fireworks to little, unskilled, dirty hands, at least they must not neglect the seemingly harm less powder wound. Or if, in spite of your own wisdom, your child sutlers through the ignorance of ! j others and is even slightly j wounded, do not try the old home j remedies t hat dose t he wound and shut out the one hope, oxygen.' Take him at once to your pliysi-1 cian (live him a fighting chance for Ins life. Give yourself the chance t>> escape the unspeakable horror of watching him in the j agony of tetanus. Do this much, at least ; do more, it you can. And you can if you start now.” YOUNG BOY IS SAVED FROM PRISON SENTENCE, Atlanta, June 21. — By a special order from the attorney general at Washington, Ibisconi A.
