HALLEY’S COMET.
The comot of eluhteen thirty-five
We yet remember well,
And tho few who Btill survive
A story true can tell
Of how the people stood aghast
With mortal drend and fear,
Assured that the time had come at last
For Gabriel to appear.
To boo tho fiery thing on high,
With blazing head and tail,
Sweeping onward through the sky
Made timid hearts to quail.
The great moteoric shower
Was fresh In memory yet:
Now tho mighty Ruling Power
Tho awful time had set.
Surely, tho time had truly come
To hoar tho trumpet blow,
Sounding the earth’s eternal doom,
With all things here below.
And for weeks the people saw
Tho cornet rushing on,
But in its orbit, true to law.
No harm to earth was done.
And in tho year nineteen nnd ton
Wo have no cbubo to fear;
Old Earth will pass again as then
In that eventful yenr.
And so ’twill be as time moves on,
For ages yet to be;
Tho generations now unborn
Halley’s comet shall see.

Savannah Press.
There are some sensible suggestions
in the State press about the Governor
ship. A good many of them say that
Gov. Brown should be allowed to have
a second term without opposition. He
has made a good Governor and the pre
cedent has been to re-elect a man his
own successor. This would spare the
State the upheaval of a political cam
paign, and would be better not only for
the politicians but for the State gov
ernment and for the people. The logic
of events seems to point to Gov. Brown
—why not let him go in without oppo
sition and have done with it?
Candidly, The Press thinks that the
reasons advanced- are sound. Gov.
Brown probably deserves another term,
and thd practice has been to act on
these lines. This is just exactly the
argument The Press used two years
ago when Gov. Hoke Smith was com
pleting his first term. He was an able
man, and The Press saw no reason for
reversing a precedent of thirty years
and for precipitating a hot political
campaign.right in the beginning of a
new administration. We think the ar
gument was good then, and we think it
is good now.
But we fear it won’t work ou* that
'Way'." Already there are suggestions of
prominent Georgians for the position.
At least two of them are now known
to be seriously considering the question
and to be in daily conference with their
friends. The question of precedent has
been ignored already. That will not be
a controlling element hereafter. The
fact that a man has made a good 'Gov
ernor will never again act as a, deter
rent to keep down opposition or to pre
vent an exciting political fight. It may
be ordained that this is to be so. Con
tinued agitation may keep things clean
even if it makes them hot. It may be
that the people want a hot factional
fight every two years instead of every
four. The point is, they will probably
have it whether they want it or not,
and the argument already advanced in
favor of continuing the incumbent in
the Governor’s chair is not considered
conclusive now. Hon. Wm. A. Wright,
has been in office for many jjears
and has made a very faithful Comp
troller-General. He is believed to be
considering the advisability of submit
ting his name to the people. Then
Judge Richard B. Russell is figuring
out his own chances and is known to be
an aggressive man and fearless fighter.
Col. Thomas G. Hudson is a dark horse.
The neighbors of Judge Thomas G.
Lawson of Eatonton, one of the ablest
men in the State, have already put him
in nomination and have thrown out a
feeler to see how the suggestion will
be received. Dr. L. G. Hardman, of
Jackson county, has been named as a
possible candidate, and so it goes.
Hon. H. H. Perry, of Gainesville, is
squarely in the race. President Bar
rett, of the Farmers’ Union, is being
urged. We still think that the proba
bilities and proprieties favor Gov.
Brown. But two years ago we thought
the same thing about Gov. Smith.
Now that the precedent of re-elec
tion has been reversed in the case of
thd Governorship it may come to be ig
nored in the cases of the State House
officers. The policy of bringing on a
scrap every two years may be extend
ed to the lower offices, and the time
may come when we may have opposi
tion all along the line, from top to bot
tom, in every primary. t

The Prohibition Campaign.
Savannah Prosa.
What part will prohibition play in the
State campaign this year? This cam
paign in Georgia has really been inau
gurated by the announcement of Judge
H. H. Perry, of Gainesville.
Judge Perry has been a member of
the House and Senate from his couhty
and district and is u very able man.
There is no question about his purity
and popularity, and he haB always been
looked upon as taking an advanced
place in the reform lists. His announce
ment will probably cut oft’ Dr. Hard
man’s entry as a prohibition candidate.
Judge Perry lives in an adjoining coun
ty, only a few miles from Dr. Hard
man. He stands for pretty much the
same things os Dr. Hardman. Judge
Perry is a strong Methodist. Dr. Hard
man is a prominent Baptist. Both men
represented the same district in the State
Senate. Both are prominent men and
each one would be an aggressive up
holder of the prohibition law. If any
thing, they would desire to make it
stronger.
Several weeks ago Judge R. B. Rus
sell, who announced his possible candi
dacy, was quoted as saying that he
might make the race upon a local option
platform. Now he denies that he is
committed to any such position. He
says that nobody was authorized to say
upon what platform he would run
“There are more important issues in
the approaching campaign than local
option.” Judge Russell does not state
what these are. The Ocilla Star, which
is a staunch supporter of prohibition,
“is not particularly elated over the
prospect of having to choose between
Brown and Russell.” According to The
Star, “neither one has expressed him
self strongly upon the liquor question.”
The Star appears to fear that "Gov.
Brown will be no longer hampered by
the reluctant promise made two years
ago not to tamper with the prohibition
law.”
The Americus Times-Recorder, how
ever, thinks that Gov. Brown stands
committed to the prohibition law as it
stands on the statute-book at this time.
Tjie Times-Recorder adds:
“It is going to be hard to make an is
sue out of prohibition. ‘Dick’Russel!
says he won’t say anything about liquor
in his platform. Gov. Brown stands
committed to the law on the books at
this time, and Dr. Hardman says he is
an out-and-out Prohibitionist. Of course,
there will be an effort on the part of
Gov. Brqwn’s enemies to charge that
he is not sincere, but such charges fell
flat two years ago, and will do so again.
There iB no reason to believe that if Dr.
Hardman were Governor that he could
alter the conditions existing to-dayi
Fulminations from the Governor’s office
would have no effect, and we doubt even
if Dr. Hardman would call out the militia
to enforce the law in Savannah, Macon
and Augusta, not to mention Atlanta.”

Hon. H. H. Perry Announces
Governorship.
Atlanta, Ga., May 21.—There was
another entrant in the race for guberna
torial honors in^Georgia to-day—Sena
tor H. H. Perry, of Gainesville.
Mr. Perry has served several terms
in the House of Representatives, and is
now State Senator from the Thirty-
third district.
Mr. Perry has been an ardent Hoke
Smith man, and is known as one of the
leading advocates in Georgia of the
Federal income tax amendment, and as
a railroad baiter. His announcement
follows:
“To the Voters of Georgia: I re
spectfully announce for Governor at the
white primary this year. My only rea
son or apology is that it is due the
State that some one should make this
race a clear-cut issue of the progressive
policies of the campaign of 1906. I
have consistently contended for these
in the Senate and House for the past
eightjears and have been active in
supporting such as have been embodied
in law. In this critical year of Ameri
can politics, when without regard to
party the great spirit of Democracy
throughout the Union is stirring with a
new impulse forward, it will not do for
Georgia to be a laggard and remain
branded before the world as reaction
ary. It ought not to be said she is not
abreast of the wave of reform that
means redemption and freedom. I can
at least keep the flag flying. It is only
one issue: Government by the people
and for the people, and not by and for
the special interests. In this I submit
my candidacy and leave- the result to
the will of God and the voters of a pa
triotic people. H. H. Perry.
"Gainesville, Ga., May 26, 19J0.”
Judge Speer on Violations of Prohibi
tion Law.
Americus TImoB-Recordor,
Judge Emory Speer openly supports
from the bench the proposition that the
Federal Government does wrong to is
sue licenses to sell liquor in communi
ties where a prohibitory law is in effect.
Addressing the Federal grand jury at
Macon last week he said:
“How many authorizations are there
in this city granted by the United States
Government, to sell liquor here? I
think it is wrong, deeply wrong, for
the Government to accept the special
tax and issue a license in any commu
nity where its peoplo have determined
they will not have the sale of intoxica
ting liquor; but it is accepted, and
while there iB much talk here about re
spect for the State laws, I am officially
informed that there are in this commu
nity between four and five hundred tax
receipts of the United States Govern
ment openly exposed to view in various
places, which Bnow that the occupants
are carrying on the business of retail
liquor dealers in utter violation of the
laws of the State. A man cannot get
one of those tax receipts unless he
swears he is going to carry on the bus
iness of a retail liquor dealer. The
Government obliges him to expose it.”
But the Judge does not confine his
criticism to the National Government.
He finds that the officers of Georgia
are distinctly culpable in winking at vi
olations of the law, in practically en
couraging "blind tigers” by their fail
ure to take advantage of the opportu
nity offered them to secure evidence as
to parties who are receiving liquor in
large quantities, and who have taken
out United States license for the sale
of the stuff. Says Judge Speer along
this line:
How easy it would be to convict
him. You have only to prove that he
has an internal revenue tax receipt,
and that would make a prima facie case
of guilt, because in order to get that
tax receipt he has to make oath that ho
intends to carry on the business of a li
quor dealer. Every record of the Gov
ernment is open to the State officers.
The President has ordered the Govern
ment officers to aid in enforcing the
temperance laws of the StateB. They
do not violate the laws of this jurisdic
tion so much, because the lowest houses
of ill-fame in this town, or the worst
dive, perhaps, will buy and pay for the
right to carry on the business under
the United States law and spit in the
faces of the officers of the State courts,
and carry on their nefarious and damn
ing business in utter disregard of the
State law. These are facts that may
not bo known to the people, but the re
cords Bhow it. Whiskey iB shipped in
here by the car-loads. Tho books of
the express company will show it.
There is one man in the neighborhood
of this town who has at least thirty-
five Government tax receipts for the
privilege of operating under each tax
receipt the business of a retail liquor
dealer. Some say he has fifty; he cer
tainly has thirty-five.”
The conclusion that iB drawn from
these facts it one that many thinking
people entertain, that the permitting of
an open violation of one State law
breeds in the minds of the people a con
tempt for and indifference to other
laws. The inclination is strong to feel
that if some men are permitted to fla
grantly violate one law, it is not wrong
in other men to violate some other law.
Considering this phase of the situation,
Judge Speer Bays:
“Gentlemen, we are sowing the wind,
and we are going to reap the whirl
wind. The violation of one law un
whipped of justice is justification and
encouragement for the violation of oth
er laws. Let liquor be dealt out among
the people freely and lawlessly dis
pensed, and then the appearance of
that many-headed monster, the mob.
When the mob comes, the boy with a
strong nature, who seeB his father tak
ing part, will be a murderer in his
heart for the rest of his life. That iB
true. It is exactly the same principle
that when a man has taken human life,
he is always more dangerous than any
other, aB a probable taker of other hu
man lives, just as when a tiger has be
come a man-eater, it is a man-eater
forever.”
Confusion of the Georgia Primary.
Macon Nows.
The political laws for conducting par
ty primaries in Georgia appear to be
very much of a crazy quilt pattern, •
if they are not involved in chaos and
confusion literally. '
Where is the rule of authority for
deciding what constitutes tho winner in
a three or more cornered contest in a
Congressional district in the Democratic
primary, for instance? Whether a plu
rality of the votes decides the nomina
tion, or a majority is required.
The Legislature in 1908 enacted a law
for the regulation of political primary
elections, but seems to have left th’s
and other important points very much
up in the air.
The first Bection of Itho'Act provides
that whenever any political party shall
hold a primary election for nominating
candidates for State House offices,
Congressmen, etc., such party or its
"authorities” shall cause all candidate s
for nomination to be voted for on one
and the same day, and section 6 pro
vides that the committee or authorities
of Buch party shall formulate rules and
regulations for the conduct of the pri
maries, and there the law stops.
At the present time there are num
berless contests of one Bort and another
proceeding throughout the State, all in .
a go-as-you-please way, and no one
seems to know much about the rules
governing the contests, or if there are
any certain rules. No doubt the com
mittees or “authorities” in many of
the local contests have adopted rules of
the nature of which the persons most
concerned are cognizant, but certainly
the public as a whole is very Jmuch in
the dark.
And not dSly this, but in many cases
the candidates appear to be campaign
ing in the dark| soliciting the votes of
their friends without knowing whether
a plurality or a majority will be neces
sary to nominate,; and resting under
other related uncertainties that are cal
culated to result in dissension and dis
satisfaction.

Baptist Youpk I’ooplo.
He was only a mite of a boy, dirty
and ragged, but he had Btopped for a
little while in one of the city’s free
playgrounds to watch a game of ball
between boys of his own and a rival
neighborhood. Tatters and grime were
painfully in evidence on every side, but
this little fellow attracted the atten
tion of a group of visitors; and lone of
them, reaching over the child’s shoul
der as he sat on the ground, gave him
a luscious golden pair. The boy’s eyes
sparkled; but the eyes were the only
thanks as he looked back to see from
whom it came, and then turned his face
away again, too shy or too much aston
ished to speak. But from that time on
hiB attention was divided between the
game and hiB new treasure. He patted
the pear; he looked at it; nnd at last, as
if to assure himself that it was as deli
cious as it appeared, he lifted it to h’s
lips and cautiously bit a tiny piece nesr
the Btem.
Then with a long sigh of satisfaction
and assurance, he tucked the prize
safely away inside his dirty blouse.
“Why don’t you eat it, Tony?” de
manded a watchful acquaintance.
"Eat it? All meself? Ain’t I savin’
it for me mother?”
The tone, with its mingling of re
sentment and loyalty, made further
speech unnecessary. Whatever else
Tony lacked—and it seemed to be near
ly everything—he had learned humani
ty's loftiest lesson; he had another
dearer than himself, and knew the joy
of sacrifice,
Apropos of George Washington and
the cherry tree story, Senator Bever
idge said at a dinner In Indianapolis:
“I asked a little boy what this stqry
was the other day, and he actually did
not know. He said he knew, though,,
the story about the judgment of Solo
mon, and he proceeded to tell it to me.
‘Solomon,” he said, “was a very
wise man. One day two women went
to him, quarreling about a baby. The
first woman said, ‘It is my child.’ The
second said, ‘No, it is mine.’
“But Solomon spoke up and declar
ed:
“ ‘No, no ladies: do no quarrel; give
me my sword and I will make twins of
him, so both of you will be supplied.’ ”
Why Salves Fail to Cure Eczema.
Scientists are now agreed that the
eczema germs are lodged not in the
outer skin or epidermis, but in the in
ner skin. Hence, a penetrating liquid
is reqnired, not an outward salve that
clogs the pores.
We recommend to all eczema patients
the standard prescription, Oil of Win-
tergreen, as compounded in liquid form
known as U. D. D. Prescription. A
trial bottle of this D. D. D. Prescrip
tion, at only 26 cents, will instantly
relieve the itch. We have sold and rec
ommended this remedy for years, and
know of some wonderful cures from its
use. We recommend it to our patrons.
