I’oBt to be Judge of the City Court of Newnan, and just before adjournment either with or without order of the court, and may take samples there from for analysis and evidence. 10. Any citizen may make affidavit that he believes alcoholic liquor is be ing illegally sold in a place, in which case the Judge must order the sheriff to examine the place and take samples, and the sheriff must obey. If licensee refuses permission for examination his license becomes void by reason of the fact. 11. Everything sold must carry a printed label giving the exact chemi cal analysis, showing contents and name of manufacturer. 12. All violations of the law work a forfeiture of license, and disqualify to hold license again or to be employed by any other person holding license. 13. To violate any provision of the act is a misdemeanor and punishable by fine and imprisonment. On Fiday afternoon last, by a vote of 23 to 18, the Senate adopted a reso lution sustaining former Clov. Smith’s action in suspending Hon. S. G. Mc Lendon as a member of the Railroad Commission. Yesterday afternoon the House, by a vote of 121 to 17, concur- ed in the Senate resolution. This ac tion on the part of the General Assem- ily vacates the office formerly held by Mr. McLendon, and Gov. Brown will have to appoint a successor, which he will probably do before the Legisla ture adjourns. On the adoption of the resolution Senator McCollum voted no,” and Messrs. Kirby and Couch voted ‘‘aye.” any rusr that it fnils to euro. Semi for list of tes timonials. AJ'lross F. J. CHENEY & Co.. Toledo. O. Sold by Druiraists. 75c.

All the candidates were strongly and enthusistically indorsed, numerous delegations having called upon the Gov ernor in the interest of their respective favorites since the contest opened. In fact, the Governor is reported to have said it was the hottest tight that has come up since lie went into office. The terms of the new appointees will Begin in xt spring. TRYING TO l‘CT N EAR-PEER OUT OF BUSINESS. Mr. Alexander, of lieKalb, not only had incorporated in the tax act in the House a provision increasing the li cense to sell near-beer from $200 to $500 per annum, but has also introduced a bill prescribing regulations under which licenses may be obtained, delin ing the character of tipple that may be sold as near-beer, and providing certain penalties and forfeitures in ease of vi olations. In brief the provisions of the Alex ander bill are as follows: 1. Retail license fixed at $500. 2. Healer must apply every quarter for renewal of license. 3. Ordinary has absolute discretion «f refusal. 4. Cannot grant license without writ ten consent of every adjoining land owner. 5. Applicant must swear that lie lias not during preceding quarter sold any beverage in violation of the prohibition law, ai d will not during the quarter applied for. t). Applications must be advertised two weeks before being granted. 7. Applicant must give bond in the sum of $5,000, to be forfeited in full if he violates law. 8. Before getting license applicant must sign a receipt for same, agreeing that the license shall be revokable at the pleasure of State, with no money refunded if license is revoked. 9. Must agree that sheriff or deputy yiay inspect his place at any time. The Removal of McLendon. nericua Times-Record or. While the General Assembly will have turned McLendon out for good, it will not be accurate to say that it has lone so on the grounds set forth by ex- Gov. Smith in his message, giving his reasons for the suspension. The Legis lature is not removing McLendon from office because he failed to vote for ‘port rates,” nor is it removing him from office because be rode on a special car while inspecting a railroad. Rublie sentiment, generally speaking, indorsed the Commissioner’s position in the first instance, and the latter charge has been looked upon as almost too frivolous to be worthy of consideration. So far as Gov. Smith’s reasons went it can be safely said that, outside of the bitter partisan followers of that leader in the Legislature, no one would have been found willing to indorse the Governor’s position and vote for the re moval of McLendon. What really brings about McLendon’s dismissal from the State’s service by the Legislature is bis unfortunate dealing in the bonds f the Athens street railway company. Although no crime may have been com mitted, although technically he may have been guilty of no violation of the law or his oath of office, public senti ment was, beyond question, outraged by the fact, that the chairman of its Railroad Commission had become an in termediary between a street car corpo ration and bond investors North, and liad profited personally to the extent of nearly $2,ooo on the deal. Sentiment, too, was further outraged by his persist ent silence on this matter until forced to an exposure of the transaction by the legislative investigating committee. It is not possible to say whether the Legislature would have acted different ly if McLendon had boldly told the full truth at the beginning. It is quite pos sible that it would have done so; that it would then have accepted his state ment that there was no intention of wrong-doing, and that at the most he had been merely guilty of an indiscre tion in an effort to promote the political interests of Gov. Smith. But his seem ing attempt at concealment, his con tinued disinclination to have the facts come out, his failure to tell the whole truth at the very outset, his evident de sire to protect himself from the results of his indiscretion, told heavily against him. He prejudiced his own case by his manner of conducting it. If he was advised to do as he did he was certainly misled. The only course for him to have pursued was, immediately after the suspension was made—or as quickly thereafter as possible—to have taken the whole public into his confidence and withheld not a single jot of evidence that bore upon his official career. We feel sorry for McLendon. \V feel sorry for any one who puts himself, wittingly or unwittingly, into a position to he humiliated as he has been. Yet it cannot be said that he is blameless. His conduct has not been without reproach If it had been, there would have been nothing for him to fear. Polities or no politics, the public would not have tol- Application for Leave to Sell.

But the public is jealous, and very properly so, of the conduct of those whom it has entrusted with high office. It is jealous of the honor of the State. It is jealous of its own rights. And it feels—and there is no use denying the fact—that McLen don was unfortunate enough to allow himself to be led into a position where all these things were in a measure jeop ardized. The moral of the McLendon case to every officeholder in Georgia is this Avoid the appearance of evil, and don’t do things for political purposes that you would he ashamed to do openly, with the eyes of all men upon you. ‘‘Gimme some of that prune pie.” "Son, you’ve had two kinds of pie al ready. ’ “Then another kind won’t matter. There's only one kind of stomach ache.” “Yes,” said Mrs. Labeling, ‘‘John ny's all right now.
