GOVERNOR SLATON.
(Columbus Ledger.)
Hon. John M. Slaton Is now Gov
ernor of Georgia, this well known
atatesmnn having taken up the reins
laid down by Governor Hoke Smite
last Thursday, and be Is to fill tho
short term.
Mr. Slaton, who is president of tho
senate and one of the most prominent
figures In Georgia politics, was a de
scendant from the Martins of South
Carolina, who were prominent In the
Revolution, and ho comes from the
family of which tho great chief Jus-
tiro was also a member. He was ©d-
ucated in tho schools of Atlanta, an.l
at the age of 1C entered tho Universi
ty of Georgia, where lie graduated iu
18SC. He read law unde

Her he afterwards became.
prayed—a long prayer it was. Out it
taste for the occasion by Its prolong
ation. When he finished that "prayer
and said "Amen", some good
brother, in a voice that resounded
through the auditorium, exclaimed
“Thank God!"
"Thanki" are appropriate now,
Why?
Because the hold-oVer held in It
many motives, so much political spite,
so much Rooseveltlan bosslsm.
The most remarkable event In the
hold over was the LaFollette incident.
The Democrats were on their nerves
for success—for laying the foundation
for victory In 1912. They had only
one Democratic measure,— the “far
mers' free list." Tho other measure,
the reciprocity bill, was not theirs. It
wns President Taft's pet scheme. The
Democrats assisted him In it, but it
was not their bill. Their bill was a
southern measure. It was the handi
work of Champ Clark, Oscar Under
wood and tho ways and means com
mittee, on which was that wise and
splendid Congressman, W. G. Brant
ley.
Tho bill pussed the House and lack
ed only one vote in the sonato. If
came up some three weeks or more
after Governor Smith was elected U)
tho Senato to help lay foundations for
tho 1912 victory. The Democrats of
the Senate held a eonferdneo. They
saw tho Importance of party success.
They lacked only one vote. That
conference would not make a deman I
that Governor Smith come to Wash
ington but had communicated to him
by his closest Georgia friend in Con-

Hut Governor Smith caat aside the
roquosts of hie own pnrty nnd wrote
to LaFollette for advice. Mr. LaFol-
lelte, being more of a ...publican than
friend to Democracy, wrote hack, "Not
noodod."
Nothing succeeds like success. And
our failure to mako good on our pet
measure had its Influence on the re
cent elections—where, in view of
great expectations, it was not a “dog
fall", but a defeat.
ernor Smith excused his defian

tho blame on Senator Terrell. But

So while the price of cement walk may be greater than qf wood, the
cost is far less. There are many places around, every home and es
pecially on the farm, where It is simply a waste of money to use any
thing but cement. Ask us how cement will sa$S you money and then
see how wo will save you money on cement
