Word comes from Atlanta that for mer Gov, Smith and those members of the Legislature who are willing to do his bidding are doing all in their power to embarrass the administration of Gov. Brown in every way possible, and to block all the legislation that he has rec ommended. It is asserted that the in jection of another prohibition fight by the introduction of the Alexander bill to outlaw near-beer is part of a politi cal scheme to embarrass the new ad ministration. The Alexander bill may have the ef fect of adding to the congestion al ready apparent in the Legislature, and may be used to so clog the wheels of legislation that very little can be ac complished at the present session, but if Gov. Brown’s enemies imagine that he can be embarrassed by the passage of the Alexander bill or of any other measure amending or in any way chang ing the present prohibition law they will, in our opinion, find themselves greatly mistaken and will meet with disappointment. The prohibitionists exacted a pledge from Gov. Brown while he was a candi date for the office to which the people of the State have elected him by an overwhelming majority that he would veto any bill amending the present pro hibition law, and it will not embarrass him one whit to stand by that pledge. The prohibitionists, having exacted that pledge from Candidate Brown at a time when it was being charged that he was the candidate of the liquor interests are the last people in the world who ought now to be pressing a measure in the Legislature which he could not sign without stultifying himself. Dr. John E. White, one of the committee of pro hibitionists who called on Mr. Brown last year to sign the pledge referred to, takes the proper and only honorable view of the matter. In a card he states the case fairly and expresses his views clearly as a consistent prohibitionist and honorable man. I)r. White covers the ground completely, from the stand point of a prohibitionist who “believes in honor among prohibitionists,” and the following paragraph from the Dem ocratic platform of 1908 clinches it from a party standpoint: “12. The successful candidate for Governor, having by his public utter ances removed the prohibition question from the field of legislation for tne next two years, we should therefore discour age by all legitimate means any effort to repeal, emasculate or weaken the present law, and favor its honest and strict enforcement.” Our prediction is that if the Alex ander bill is passed Gov. Brown will promptly veto it, and that he will do it without the least embarrassment.

We understand that the location has practically been decided upon, and that work on the building will com mence early next week and be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. The machinery is said to be tne very best to be had and will turn out as fine lint as can be made from our cotton.

Hoke Smith believes that the negro lacks the power of initiative, and that he will never acquire it except through the white rnan. He advocates a more equal distribution of the colored population throughout the country as a cure for the race problem. He advises that more white people come South, and that a greater number of negroes go North. This shifting he believes would equalize the burden and give all the white people an opportunity to study the negro and better his condi tion. Among other things Ex-Gov. Smith said that “experience shows that negroes improve most rapidly where there are fewest negroes in pro portion to the number of whites. The best friend of the negro should seek his distribution to all sections.” In the barber shop the scissors clicked merrily away, and the barber’s dog lay on the floor close beside the chair, look ing up intently all the time at the oc cupant who was having his hair cut “Nice dog, that, ” said the customer. “He is, sir,” said the barber. “He seerns very fond of watching you cut hair.” “It ain’t that, sir,” explained the barber, smiling. “Sometimes I make a mistake and take a little piece off the customer's ear.” Standing Rock Singing.

Pope Brown, State Treasurer, made an ad dress to the Farmers’ Union of thi- county Thursday, in which he had softies thing to say about Atlanta’s recent vic tory over Nashville in the grain decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Mr. Brown read from an Atlanta paper which stated that Atlanta would now be able lo lay down grain at Forsyth, Jonesboro and other Georgia points as cheap as Nashville, and that Atlanta and other Georgia wholesale centers could enter the territory formerly mon opolized by Nashville. “As the decision of the Commission did not decrease tiny rate, but increased the rate from Nashville s > as to equal ize it with that from Atlanta,” said Mr. Brown, “you may be wondering what great good can come to the people of Georgia generally from the Atlanta victory. It is a well-known principle that the consumer pays the freight. “Well, it is the man who plows the mule that eats the corn who will pay for this increase in the rate on grain. Your oats and corn will cost you more in order that the Atlanta wholesaler may have the privilege of competing with Nashville grain brokers.” Mr. Brown went further and declared that the farmers deserved little sym pathy that this state of affairs had arisen. The real cure was for them grow their own corn. He pointed to the famine conditions that were threatened by the Georgia railroad strike, which h said would have been entirely impossihl if the farmers along the line had done their duty and grown their provisions at home. He hoped that it would not come to pass that Georgia farmers were a class of consumers and not produc ers of anything but cotton.
