Looking for a Candidate.
Savannah News.
Comptroller-General Wright, Judge
Russell, Commissioner of Agriculture
Hudson, Hon. Murphy Candler, Hon.
Hoke Smith and others are” mentioned
as possible candidates for the guberna
torial nomination. No one of thorn ia
doing any talking for publication, ft is
assumed, of course, that Gov. Bt;own
will bo a candidate for re-elec
tion. He keeps his own counsel and
will not, in all probability, announce
his candidacy until he knows whether
or not he will have opposition and who
his opponent iB.
As the situation presents itself it
looks as if nobody cared to enter the
contest against him. It is certain that
if he does have opposition his opponent
will not have a walkover. And for two
reasons. One is that Gov. Brown has
given the State a fairly satisfactory
administration, and the other is that
the people do not seem to be particu
larly anxious for a political campaign
that would stir up the whole State and
draw the attention of the people away
from their businesses and occupations.
It would be different if there were Is
sues of great importance, demanding
settlement. But thero doesn’t seem to
be any issue the people are not willing
the Legislature shall settle. It iB true
that the politicians and the leaders of
tho factions could easily get up issues
on which a very lively campaign could
be conducted, but would they bo such
issues as would bring out practically all
of the registered vote? There are rea
sons for thinking they wouldn’t.
It is stated that the registration is
50,000 short of that of two years ago.
That is pretty good evidence that there
is no State question pending in which
the people are profoundly interested.
It would, therefore, require a good deal
of campaigning to get them interested
in issues the politicians might bring
forward for their consideration.
It is evident from what is being said
in the dispatches from Atlanta that
Hon. Hoke Smith isn’t anxious to bo a
candidate. It is doubtful if he would
even think of entering the contest if he
were not being urged to do so by some
of the leaders of his faction. He doesn’t
want the Governorship again, and if he
should seek the office it would be sim
ply to aid him in reaching the United
States Senate; but if he became a can
didate and were beaten he would stand
but little chance of ever reaching the
Senate, and if he were successful he
would be in but little, if any, bettor po
sition than he is now. It is a question
if he cares anything about defeating
Gov. Brown. If he should be a candi
date and be successful it wouldn’t prove
that he was justified in turning Gov.
Brown out of the office of Railroad
Commissioner. And the Supreme Court
has said that he had a legal right to
suspend both Gov. Brown and Commis
sioner McLendon. It is difficult to see,
therefore, what he would gain by seek
ing the office of Governor again.
Just now it looks as if the opponent
of Gov. Brown would be some other
man than Mr. Smith, if the Governor
has opposition. If there is to be a gu
bernatorial contest the people, it is
pretty safe to say, would like it to be a
short one. If it could be limited to a
month they would be better pleased
than if it were spread out over four or
five months. With the prospect of a
high price for cotton and a big fruit
crop the people would rather be in their
fields and orchards and attending to
business than attending political meet
ings, particularly as everything seems
to be running along smoothly and there
are no issues vital to their welfare
pending.

Mr. Isfac Cook, Commander of above
Post, Kewanee, Ill., writes: “For a
long time I was bothered with backache
and pains across my kidneys. About
two months ago I started taking Foley
Kidney Pills and soon saw they were
doing just as claimed. I kept on taking
them and now I am free from back
ache, and the painful bladder misery is
all gone. 1 like Foley’s Kidney Pills so
well that I have told many of my friends
and comrades about them and shall re
commend them at every opportunity."

The Wrong Side of the Buoy.
Barbara Boyd.
At the entrance of the St. John’s riv
er in Florida lies a fine steamship on
the rocks. It is not a battered and
shattered wreck. It stands well out of
the water, seemingly with scarcely its
paint scratched. It looks full of use
fulness and service yet. But, never
theless, it is a wreck.
Passengers of passing boats view it
with interest. It is pathetic, so big, so
Btrong, so helpless. But the most pa
thetic part of it all is that there in the wa
ter but a few hundred yards from it
bobs an unpretentious little black buoy.
But the ship is on the wrong side of the
buoy.
One can’t but fall to moralizing as
one gazes upon it and realizes that just
those few hundred yards on the wrong
side of the buoy brought all the disas
ter, for it is so typical of life.
Many a life has gone smash on the
rocks because it has gone on the wrong
side of some buoy put out to warn. It
hnsn’t deviated far, but, nevertheless,
it is a wreck.
Tho clerk who takes a little money
intending to put it back is on the wrong
side of the buoy. How many lives have
gone down because of this very act!
What they have taken has been such a
very small amount that the question of
honesty didn’t seem to enter into it.
But honesty isn’t a matter of amount,
despite our laws that send a man to
jail who steals a five-cent loaf of bread
and lets the insolent stealer of millions
go free. Honesty is a principle. There
is no safe departing from it. One is
either in the channel of honeaty or out
of it, with rocks ahead and a ship
wreck. Such things are as true as two
and two make four.
The wife who flirts is headed for the
wrong side of the buoy. It may seem
to be but a slight and harmless devia
tion from the course marked out
right and proper. But buoys are put
out with a serious purpose in life. They
are not intended simply as ornaments
on the high seas. The buoys set up for
the matrimonial bark are particularly
worth heeding, for the voyage on the
matrimonial sea is beset with peculiar
danger.
The girl who accepts attentions from
a married man is on the wrong side
of the buoy. To go with him once to
dinner or for an auto ride scarcely
seems worth making a fuss over. But
just a few hundred yards on the wrong
side of the buoy does the trick. Her one
venture out of the beaten track of vir
tue may run her on some rock of which
she little dreams. She may he entirely
misjudged for this one little "lark,” as
she calls it, by some one whose good
opinion she most highly prizes. When
one is on the wrong side of the buoy
onij never knows where the rocks are,
nor how soon nor how seriously one
may run upon them. •
It pays to take heed of the buoys
that wisdom and experience have set
out to mark the panger placeB on life's
high seas. Young people particularly
are apt to scorn them. They seem to
think they can sail all seas of life un
harmed without regard to charts or
markings. But the shipwrecks every
where point to the folly of such a be
lief.
With a beautiful world to enjoy and
life that can be so good, it pays to keep
on the right side of the buoys and in
the channels marked by those who
know.

him crossing the bridgo of Lodi with

I saw him conquer the alps nml mingle

Ulm and Austerlitz. I saw him in Rus

his legions like winter’s withered h aves.
I saw him at Leipzig in defeat and dis

loved him pushed from his heart by the
cold hand of ambition. And I said I

by my aide knitting, as the day died out
of the sky, with my children upon my
knees and their arms about me. I would
rather have been that man and gone
down to the tongueless silence of the
dreamless dust than to have been that
imperial impersonation of force and

In a certain Western central office
one hello girl was always late in arriv

again the manager pleaded with her to

morning as ho came to her exchange
