Wright, of Tennes see will succeed Secretary Taft, who will resign soon alU*r he is nominated for president by tbe republicans. Macon Telegraph. Governor Smiths plaint, made through Ralph South in the New York World, was an unfair and unjust re flection on the state of Georgia. The Insinuation that 25,1*00 people of tbe state “who bav never voted before” were rounded up by Louisville and Nashville railroad money and voted for Brown, is a libel that no consider able per cent of Smith's own partisans believe, if any of them do. The expenses of the Brwn campaign Bibb county was raised in Bibb county by private contributions made by Brown supporters inuis county. Hbe Brown club here came out In debt, and themanagers of it were out trying yes terday to get additional subscriptions among Brown supporters to pay off the debt. We know this to be true in other counties. Tbe truth is, a larger per cent of registered vote was cast this : than two years ago, because the peo- bitterL p j e became aroused in their desire to make a change in t ie adminh tica cf affairs. It is too late now per haps to discuss the question as to make a change, but the fact remains the people did it—In the face of 3mith s appeals from tbe stump while Brown remained at his headquarters in Atlanta and contented himself with an occasional letter to the people througa the pr*.-ss. JOE TERRELL AMONG THE FOREMOST. Joseph M. Terrell is now among the foremost pulic men in Georgia. He aus been signally honored, severely, censured, cruelly bemoaned but. still in his prime, be looms forth, after a ; short ret'rement, as the still most ■ vital force in Georgia polities. He is < only *!C years old and more than ’ active politics. Bom in Meriwether county, he entered the house of re- j presettatives when barely past nis ; teens. In tne house and senate he j w as identified with much im;*ortant j legislation; one of the most notEtile j and far reaching being tbe local op- j lion law—tbe first move toward pro- 5 hibiLion made in Georgia—which he i 1 supported vigorously. i WHAT A PHILADELPHIA PAPER SAYS. The Philadelphia Public icj.er. ua- s uer the caption. “For Peace sne PtOf- perity." says; "The campaign motto of Smith's opponents. Brown and bread Hoke and hardtack, summed up un practical issue upon which the elec tion-was decided. Govercf Smitn had erne into cfice in a period of great public excitement, with promises of regulating butiuess, exterminating mcampolies. suppressing predatory rporii” ins. and generally estabiith- inc 'the people's rights.' The only re sult of nis strenous policies which the people of Georgia could perceive was on utter paralysis of all industrial artirvities. The only right they na-i ruined was The ri;bt to be idle. It is true that other States were suffering also in the general business depres sion. but in Georgia its direct associa tion with corporation baiting and dem agogic excitement was too plain to be overlooked. After two years of bluer exj>erience the people of the State decided tnat they had had eunuch ol this kind of thing and that It was time to get back to reason." it is hopefully added that Georgias influental position as a progressive Southern commonwealth gives enor mous importance to this marked indi- rurion of returning a&nltv, “The need3 of Georgia are essentially those of every other stale, and as other states ,.L\e opportunity we shall find them udciLg the tame demand for a return to reason and to tbe orderly processes- of law."

His scheme was to get the negro to bring nim men who were out of employment and wno were willing to pay for the priviL-ge of being given work. He would take five dollars from a victim and give him a card widen ne would order him to take to Charleston and present it at the address given and he would get work.

On the person of the prisoner were found several cards Just bailot. like those given to the man who caus- j ed the arrest to be made and on the trength of this he was convicted and fired. PICKING UP ALL AROUND. Georgia is not the only state to aic-h “good times” are returning.
