The Mayor was authorized to call
a meeting some time in June for the
purpose of voting on a $100,000 bond

particularly Tom Watson, as social
ists, anarchists and insane political
hybrids, occupied, with its present
candidate for governor, the extreme-
Parker end of the fight.
Everybody will remember th
most insane interest that was taken
by that paper in a "safe and sane Dem
ocracy.”
The Constitution, on the other hand
a conservative Parker paper, that yet
pursued toe idea that the Hearst Dem
ocrats were entitled to some consid
eration, was castigated as a Hearst
organ.
The fight became so Intense, that In
their eagerness to claim supremacy in
Georgia matters, the Journal and its
present candidate for governor or
ized what was termed "Parker Club
No. 1," and the Constitution and it
candidate for governor organized what
was known as "Parker Club No. I
There were two Parker clubs, each
fighting for control, and each formed
by the two papers now engaged in a
similar state fight.
Does tne reader catch the idea?
Both clubs rented rooms In the Kim
bail House. Each club bad campaign
buttons with which to tag the enthusi
astic and the impressionable voter.
With each It seemed to he a case of
"Here we go, gals, to the wedding.”
And whe» tney reached the mar
riage feast, what happened? Why,
the Journal’s editor won his contest
as a delegate to the national conven
tion in a combined strength that sent
with him as delegates from the state
at large, such Parkerites as Editor
Pendleton, of the Macon Telegrapn.
Judge Maddox, of Rome, and Col. Jas.
M. Smith, of Oglethorpe.
This was the "big four" that "fit,
bled and died together,” as the saying
goes, defeating the Clark Howell
crowd horse, foot and dragoon—only
to live, in yet another interesting fight
where the Journal is left absolutely
l>ereft of its old-time friends.
This convention was dominated by
the Journal amf its present candidate
for governor, to such an extent that
what its candidate .lid not claim as a
personal victory was pre-empted by
the Journal.
The "ring,” as it Is now termed,
was wiped out of its boots, and
forced to go bare footed to St. Louis.
Now, it was this convention, con
trolled by the Journal and its candi
date, that elected the chairman, who
appointed Hamilton MeWnorter. War
ner Hill. Boykin Wright , and Jack
Spalding as members of the present
executive committee from the state at
large.
According to every known rule of
estimate the present executive com
mittee was created by, or with the
manipulation or consent of the editor
of the Journal and Its candidate for

How Pent are Made.
Pens are made by machines which
seem almost to think. The steel is
cut into ribbons as wide as the length
of one pen, and these are fed to mach
ines which cut out the blanks, then
stamp them, split the points anJ place
the maker's name on the backs. The
pens are now complete save the an
nealing. which is a process of heating
the metal almost to the melting point
and then cooling it suddently to render
It tough. After being annealed the
pens are counted and placed in boxes.
A machine has been invented for per
forming both these operations.
COTTON MILLS IN SOUTH.

Within the next year, it has been
predicted, the official figures will show
that the southern states are manufac
