“Feed the Horses” in
Maconese Means Liquor
Macon, Ga., March 5.—Tin cans
and lard stands have supplanted
suitcases as ves’els for carrying
blind tiger whiskey in Macon
through the results of two raids yes
terday will cause some other scheme
to be hatched by the tigers. In two
cases where evidence was fastened
on retailers the liquor was found in
buckets.
G. L. Raley, who runs a butcher
shop in East Macon, had the prize
scheme. Two half pints were found
in the refrigerator with parcels
meat, and the wrapping on the
whiskey made the packages' look
exactly like packages of meat. As
Raley was reading the search war
rant tendered by the sheriff,
turned to a little negro helper and
said:
“Boy, go get thal bucket and
feed the horse.”
“Boss, I’se done fed him
night.”
“That’s all right, go get
bueget and feed him again.”
The sheriff tumbled.

A new name is being whispered
about with in the last few days in
connection with the senatorial race--
that of John C. Hart, former at
torney general cf Georgia. Says
an Atlanta dispatch.
As yet it is only a whisper, hut
odd to say the mention of his name
comes as often from the Smith fac
tion as the followers of Governor
Brown. In fact, it is said that a
strong Smith man was the first to
suggest the name of Judge Hart.
He set up that no man in Georgia
would prove more satisfactory as a
compromise candidate in the event
of a deadlock in the legislature.
This man further stated that Geor
gia would have a senator of strength,
iignity and power if Judge Hart
should ho named, and he felt sure
his selection would meet with the
general approval of the people
respective of their alignment in
state politics.
There can he no doubt but that
the situation is nnioh“up in the air”
yet. Senator Terrell is growing
stronger and better constantly, but
while his mental faculties are as clear
and lucid as ever, his physical con
dition is not the best. The paralysis
in his limb is slow in passing away.
He believes, however, that he will
he well enough to return to Wash
ington for the extra session on April
4, and asserts positively his inten
tion to continue in the race.
governor Smith’s attitude is still
one to puzzle. Rumors of various
kinds are afloat about him, hut he
is saying nothing at all himself to
clear the atmosphere. Recently a
well known man and one connected
with a powerful brgahizatiorfflad a
long talk with Governor-elect Smith
regarding the senatorship,
Governor Hoke Smith told him
frankly that he was not seeking the
senatorship, so it is reported, did
not, in fact, want it, but in the
event there appealed an overwhelm
ing sentiment for his selection in
the legislature, he felt he could
not ignore such an imperative call.
It may he safely said that if this is
his attitude that Murphy Candler
will not he a candidate for the
place.
Many seem to think now that the
extra session of Congress has remov-
ed'Congressman W,G. Brantley from
the list of possible entries. It is
that he will be engaged so closely in
Washington that he will not have
time or opportunity to press his
candidacy and will therefore, not
offer. No such expression lias come
from Mr. Brantly, so the matter is
given merely as a part of the cur
ent gossip in this connection.
There is a good deal of talk of
one kind and other regrading the
senatorship among the delegates
here to the Commercial Congress
But everybody seems in doubt about
the situation and have no fixed
notions about it. They want to
see the cards all on the table before
they play.
