senatorship to North Georgia
there is all the more reason why
South Georgia should insist upon
the governorship coming to it,
and coining, too, without a strug-
1c with North Georgia. So, too,
done much more for this section
than he has.
When Governor Slaton* was
speaker of the House, the ques
tion came up of the creation of
a number of new counties in the

SOUTH GEORGIA POLIT
ICALLY.
The Savannah Press of last
Saturday presented a carefully
prepared map showing in a re
markable and impressive way the
political neglect. South Georgia
has suffered during .he last half
century. The map was prepared
by Mr. Thomas Gamble and
shows a “political deadline” run
ning through the state just a lit
tle south of Macon separating the
state very acurately into north
and south Georgia. It gives the
different cities of the two sections
and on the locations of the cities
gives the names of men and of
fices filled by them during the
past fifty years. It shows the dis
tribution of state offices, includ
ing United States Senators, gov
ernors, attorney generals, state
treasurers, secretaries of state,
comptroller generals, labor com
missioners and commissioners, of
agriculture. The line of division
given between North and South
Georgia is the northern boundary
of the following counties: Har
ris, Talbot, Taylor, Crawford.
Houston, Twiggs, Wilkinson,
Johnson, Emanuel, Jenkins and
Screven. There are 71 counties
in South Georgia, 77 in North
Georgia, several of the latter be
ing very small.
In his article Mr. Gamble gives
South Georgia’s allotment for the
past 50 years -as follows
United States Senator—A.
Iverson, Muscogee; 1855-61.
Thomas M. Norwood, Chatham;
1871-77. William S. West,
Lowndes; 1914 (six months).
Governor—Charles J. Jenkins,
Muscogee; 1865-68. James M.
Smith, Muscogee, 1872-76.
Attorney General—Robert N.
Ely, Dougherty, 1876-80.
State Treasurer—J. Popo
Brown, Pulaski; 1909.
Commissioner of Agriculture—
O. B. Stevens of Terrell. Thomas
G. Hudson of Sumter.
Secretary of State—Gen. Philip
Cook, Lee; 1890-94. William
Clifton, Chatham; 1898 (six
months). Philip Cook, Lee
1898-1914.
Labor Commissioner—II. M,
Stanley, Dublin, 1912-14.
Railroad Commissioner—Alien
Fort, Sumter; James M. Smith,
Muscogee; Spencer R. Atkinson,
Glynn; J. Pope Brown, Pulaski;
Gunby Jordan, Muscogee; O. B.
Stevens, Terrell; S. G. McLendon
Lowndes; Joseph F. Gray, Cat-
ham (South Georgia’s only com
missioner at present).
A total of 21 officials from
South Georgia, while North Geor
gia’s allotment for the same pe
riod shows a total of 70 officials,
a large percentage of whom serv
ed very long terms.
Mr. Gamble’s “South Georgia”
has a population of 1.300,fX)0, or
45 per cent of the population of
the state; state tax assessments
of $300,000,000; number of farms
135,000; acres of improved farm
land 6,000,000; value of all farm
'land *320,000,000; AND PRES
ENT STATE OFFICERS NUM-
UERINO FOUR.
The Press in an editorial com
ment upon Mr. Gamble’s map
and article says:
‘‘It may be that South Georgia
cannot as yet permanently have
the seat in the United States sen
ate. The reports from Washing-
ington indicate that Senator
West will not be'a candidate and
that Governor Slaton will contest
for the seat against two other
North Georgia aspirants. No
South Georgian of prominence
and ability is now an avowed can
didate for the honor. But if we

Senator West says that Cong
ressman Walker put up to him
the naming of postmaster for
Vuldosta, and Walker says in re
ply that he put nothing up to the
new senator, but was merely giv-

given U. S. Senators to name
postmasters in their home cities,
Any way Walker did not name
any one, and the chances are that

ami this not the time to try to

The same was true in regard
electing a governor when Col. Es-
till was a candidate, under the
conditions that then existed Col.
Estill had no show of being nom
inated and everyone with any po
liticai sense knew it. When Mr.
Pope Brown was a candidate for
governor he had a good chance
of being nominated, and as shown

would have been nominated had
South Georgia stood by him as it
should have done. Now confc;
the 'nomination for U. S. senator
for the short term, and to urge
Mr. West’s nomination as a
South Georgian would be the
height of folly. Ordinarily he
would not be a strong candidate,
and with such men as Slaton,
Felder and Hardwick against
him he would stand no show at
all. The thing for South Georgia
to do is to unite upon a man for
governor and elect him by not
wasting its amunition on the sen-
atorship.

Doctors in all parts of the
country have been kept busy
with the epidemic of grip which
has visited so ninny homes. The
symptoms of grip this year arc
often very distressing and leave
the system in n rundown condi
tion, particularly the kidneys
which scent to suffer most, as al
most every victim complains of
Janie back and urinary troubles
which should not he neglected,
as these danger (tignals often lead
to dangerous kidney troubles.
Druggists report a large sale on
