Clark and Underwood arc great 1 {
Democrats regardless of tolls.
The County Pupils Contest is
the biggest event just ahead o,‘
us.
Press Agent Thaw has al 1
played out, but Frank and Bun
manage to keep some copy on the
hook.
The political pot is past the
sizzling stage in Georgia. It is
boiling over. And the bojsar-'
all happy.
Os course John M. Slaton will
he elected to fill fix- unexpired
term of the lamented Ban n.
And he will make a suets -nr to
the departed statesman of whom
Georgia will not be ashamed.
The record of Hon. Dudley AT.
Hughes in Congress shows that
he has faithfully and energetief
ly represented the Twelfth Dis
trict. We see no reason whatev
er in displacing him simply be
cause some one else want- his
job.
The County Pupils Contest to!
he held at the Brewton-Parlo r'
Institute on the lSth inst. iso!
more importance to Montgomeiy
county than all the elections,
county, state or national. It i
time our people were unertakinp
something worth while.
-
Now that Governor Slaton ha
spoken and is squarely in tin
race for the IJ. S. Senate, it will
take some figuring to keep up
with the fellows, down in th>
second and third ranks who will
manage to get “mentioned” for
the governorship.
The National Drainage Con
gross, with the auto floral para.b
attachment, to he held in Savan
nah on April 22-25 will he a 1 1
event. And the railroads will:
take us down at rates that w ill
permit us to drink ice cream s -
das or any other soft beveragt -
we may run across.
For awhile, at least, South
Georgia will have a man in tin
Governor’s chair. Upon the r< s
ignation of Governor Slaton, to
go before the people as the nom
inee for U. S. Senator, lion. J.
Randolph Anderson, from the
seaboard, will automatically -
and capably fill the place.
There are entirely too many
clogs and not enough iv/.s in . r
great industrial wheels of this
section. A lack of thought that
develops system, in what wo un
dertake, is one of the cloys. 1 Iv
ory acre of farm land in Al nt
gomery county ought to produce
twice as much as it has been |
producing.
If Montgomery county e\ r
has a fair, it is probable that tin
women will have to inauguratt
the movement. We have be n
pleading for eleven years with
the men to take the matter up.
The proverbial dumb watch is a
fast piece of mechaism compared
to our men. We are waiting, to
hear from the enterprising. .•
progressive ladies of Montgom
ery county.
Editor Folsom, of the .Mont
gomery Monitor, is among the
visitors to Atlanta today. Mr.
Folsom edits a live paper and he
is very popular in his seed >n.~
Atlanta Conespondent Macon
Telegraph.
As such compliments are much
more rare before than after the
weekly editor's strugc.es have
ended, we should be t \cused for
returning thanks for this one.
