This Is a very magnanimous action on their part, say tire Savannah Templars, when her territory is not touched. Cordele, (Ga.,) Rambler. Too State has voted for Brown and Bread, and already stocks have com menced to go up. We predict that within the next live years that more foreign capital will seek invest ment In Georgia than has ever come in any ten of our history. A war ug&inst capital and organized wealth has been going on for several years all over tne South and West, and Georgia is the first state to return to ssne methods. The election of Mr. Brown was such a sweeping victory for conservatism that confidence will be completely refeCbred. We do not believe that Georgia will return to radicalism within the next twenty-five years. Prohibition Is safe; even the con servative business men are -practically a unit In their.opposition to the bar rooms. Georgia has all of the reform she needs; the full enforcement of what laws we have will keep things clean and healthy. We predict that within tho next ten years that South Georgia will be a net work of trolley llnez. GOVERNMENT’8 PLAN OF FINDING WORK FOR IMMIGRANTS Washington, June 11.—The govern ment's plan of finding work for Immi grant* and scattering them over the country to prevent congestion In the large cities U beginning to show prac tical results. I.ast month 522 newly landed foreigners were directed to lo calities outside the ports of entry where work could be immediately NEXT JAN. IN8TEAD OF JUNE. BROWN MAYBE INAUGURATED Will Joseph M. Brown bo inaugurat ed next January, instead of next June and will the annual sessions of tne legislature be changed from June to January, as formerly. That is the rumor in political circle* now. So far, it is merely speculation but several men in touch with political affairs in Georgia ray it is by no moan improbable that the change will be made. Governor Hoke Smith is quoted ns having said that he would prefer a change to the old winter sessions of the general assembly. Governor Joseph M. Terrell vetoed the bill which chang ed the sessions to June, though tho assembly passed It over Ills veto. It was argued at that*time that the sum mer sessions would suit the members better, but this has not been shown to be true. Governor Smith and many of his friends have argued against the election of legislature ami stato olfi clnl* so many months before the begin nlng of their term of office. If the next assembly votes to chango the sessions back to January, It Is con ceded that Governor Brown will tyo In ducted Into office at the next term. The law requires that tho governor be sworn in In tho presence of the gen eral assembly, and the result of the election declared by that body. To In augurate him In June, the expiration of Governor Smith's term, would domnhd calling a special session of the legislature, provided that legislature hud already met in January. HOW TO EAT A DISH OF CROW. So /ar an known there Is yet no published Instructions iu regard to the best manner of disposing of u plate of old and ovor-rlpo crow, und with the vltw oi supplying this de- ficlency In -part, and In hope that about half the people will rise up and call u* blessed for giving valuable help in time of need, we offer the fol lowing suggestions: Just sit down to the table as usual and when you discover that crow is before you, face the bird boldly and say: "Hello, Crow!” Then aeaaon the bird with a liberal dose of Tobssco sauce and Cayenne pepper and c small amount of aqua fortls, after which take the mess in both hand*, biace your lega firmly, shut your yet, open your mouth and swallofr. You may never look quite the tame again, but (t won’t kill you. That l» all there Is to it.—Quitman Free Press.

"Defeated candidates can have this consolation: You can always foa* some people sometime, even If you can’t fool ’em all the time.”—Atlanta Journal. The Atlanta Journal has evidently teamed something lately. EFFORT TO BREAK UP , 4- • IMPORTATION IMMORAL WOMEN. Washington, June 10.—The author! ties are to make another effort to break up the systematic importation of women into the United 8tates for immoral purposes, and this time will employ a woman special agent to grthcr the evidence necessity to pul a stop to the traffic. Commiselonet General dt Immigration Sargent states that he has selected a well known wo man to undertake this work, and that she will sail for Europe during the next few weeka. Mr. Sargvnt declin ed to give the name of his special In vestigator, but said she has long been Instructed in philanthropic enterprise. This Iu a cruel world sometimes. Of course, habitual pessimism s deplora ble and not to be thought of by ra- tonally disposed men; but there come times, nevertheeas, when grief over whelms us In spite of ourselves—and such an occasion has' come to the ii8hin*ton Herald. We sorrow with excessive Intensity er the sad downfall of our erstwhile hero, the Hon. Hoke Smith. But yes terday, and his name might have stood against the world; today thero are none so poor as to do him reverence. We have lavished a touching affection Hoke. Many moons, ago, when Hoke stood forth among his fellow men like star of magnificent magnitude, we pinned our colors to him, and entered him at least to show in the presiden tial handicap. We pointed with prldo from early morn to dewy eve. How we did love that man! And how we do still, for that matter! But Hoke, In an evil moment, lost his great big head and went a-woolng false gods, and set about worshipping at strange and 1 unheard of ah lines. He grow, we fear, peevish; he sighed, may hap, tort other worlds to conquer. What ever It wan, he tackold a small Geor gia buzz-saw named Brown, recently and the scraps of Hoke are scattered all over the landcape In Georgia, and the pieces cannot be patched up again. Indeed, Hokey-pokey snt on u wall; •v-nokey got a great fall. And all the King's horses and all the king's men can’t put Hokey-pokey together again. It Is sad! it causes us to weep! We »uld it had happened, If It must, in gentler manner. We would he might have been snatched down from his ped estal by less ruthless hands. We set great store by Hoke. We looked upon his as destined for momentous things. We have often pictured him In tho White House, benln and unafraid. Alas, that dream has fled. Woe la* usf Hoke the mighty has fallen, and there Is no joy In us. THINKS LYLE ‘JUSTICE? SAYS PEOPLE CANT BE BLAMED FOR LYNCHINOS.
