GOV. FROWN'S MESSAGE.
Gov. Brown's message to the Gener
al Assembly, which was read before
that body Wednesday, embodies about
the same recommendations that were
made in his inaugurnl message a year
ago.
He again urges the repeal of the
present registration law, laying more
stress upon this subject than any oth
er, and makes a convincing argument
in support of his recommendation. He
thinks that every good citizen who
pays his taxes should be allowed the
fullest freedom in the exercise of his
right to vote, instead of being hamper
ed by laws and restrictions calculated
to make it diHicull to qualify us an
elector. To close the registration
books six months prior to the election
he considers an undue hardship, espe
cially upon the rural voter, with the
result that many good men are dis
franchised.
"He recommends a bond issue of
$6u0,000, in order that funds may be
provided with which to pay teachers’
salaries as they become due.
He urges a more equitable and ef
fective syBtem of taxation, to the end
that every class of property shall bear
its proportionate share of the tax bur
den.
He favors a tax upon inheritances,
graduated according to their size and
collateral nature.
He recommends the establishment of
a bureau of labor for the collection
and dissemination of information rela
tive to the manufacturing and indus
trial interests of the State.
Ho recommends that the membership
of the Railroad Commission be reduced
from five to three, and that the office
of special attorney to the Commission
be abolished. In his judgment a com
mission composed of three members
can do the work "required as well us it
could be done by five members, and
more economically. The office of spe
cial attorney he regurds us useless.
Ho favors biennial sessions of the
Legislature, and points out that not
more than half a dozen States now
have annunl sessions.
In conclusion, the Governor states
thut other matters not touched upon in
his message will be brought to the at
tention of the General Assembly in
special messages from time to time
during the session.
FOR
HOKE SMITH WILL RUN
GOVERNOR.
The expected has happened. How
ever disinclined he may have been to
enter the race for the Governorship
this year—and no one will question the
sincerity and earnestness of his re
peated declinations within the past few
weeks—Hon. Hoke Smith would have
been Icsb than human had he not final
ly given ear to the importunities of his
friends and assented to their wishes.
He signified his capitulation yesterday
by announcing thut he would make the
race against Gov. Brown, and that a
more extondod statement defining his
position on public questions would be
issued later. Simultaneous with Mr.
Smith’s announcement was a state
ment from Hon. H. H. Perry, of Hall,
that ho would at once withdraw from
the race in favor of Mr. Smith.
The fight is now on, and unless all
signs fail we shall see during the next
sixty duys one of the hottest cam
paigns ever witnessed in Georgia.
Such a fight as we are likely to
have is to be deplored, especially
from a party standpoint. No matter
which faction shall prove victorious in
the contest, the marks of the conflict
will remain. It was hoped that we
would have a quiet year in polities, and
for a time the prospects for a peaceful
campaign were promising; but. unfor
tunately, tho situation has changed.
This means that the Smith-Brown
feud is to be perpetuated, and menns
also that nevermore will we have polit
ical peace in Georgia, More is the
Congressman Adamson, who, as the
ranking Democratic member of the
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce, was selected to make the
minority fight in the House on the rail
way bill, has been highly complimented
by Hon. Champ Clark for the able man
ner in which he handled the minority
end of the controversy over this meas
ure. In a letter to Judge Adamson on
Monday last Mr. Clark said —
“I think it nothing but right, as the
accredited leader of the Democrats on
the floor of the House, to say to you
that you and your Democratic brethren
constituting the minority of the Com
mittee on Interstate ana Foreign Com
merce, deserve the sincere thanks of
every Democrat in the land and of ev
ery good citizen of the United States
for the great service you rendered in
improving and perfecting the railroad
bill which passed the other d^y. Near
ly every good thing in that biH can be
truthfully accredited to you and your
Democratic colleagues.' ’

Additional Appropriation for Postofike
Building.
Congressman Adamson has succeeded
in getting an additional appropriation of
$7,500 for the Government building at
Newnan, making $60,000 in all, and it is
believed now that work upon the same
will begin right away. Whether the
Treasury Department will re-advertise
for bids, or will accept the lowest of
the bids submitted on April 29 under
the first advertisement, has not
been announced. The bids then sub
mitted were, respectively, $50,000,
$49,800 and $47,146. It was understood
at the time that no bid in excess of
$42,500 could be considered, for the rea
son that the balance of the appropria
tion ($7,500) would be needed to fur
nish and equip the building. It was for
the purpose of meeting this situation,
and to assure a first-class building for
Newnan, that Congressman Adamson
introduced and had passed a bill author
izing an additional appropriation of
$7,500. The present status of the mat
ter is explained in a letter received by
Postmaster Atkinson this week from
Congressman Adamson, in which he
says—
"Washington, D. C., June 19, 1910,
"My Dear Postmaster: The Public
Buildings bill was reported yesterday
It will pass the House to-morrow, and
will pass the Senate next day. The Su
pervising Architect of the Treasury re
ported to the committee that he needed
$5,000, which additional amount would
be amply sufficient to complete for you
a splendid public building. I took issue
with him before the committee and
made some money for you by so doing.
While 1 did not raise nim as much as I
desired to do, the committee did • in
crease it $2,500 over his estimate, so
that you get an increase of $7,600,
making the entire amount of your ap
propriation up to date even $60,000. I
have the assurance of the committee
that if this amount proves insufficient
you shall have the necessary additional
increase next year. As soon as the
bill becomes a law the Chief Architect
will proceed with your enterprise
though he declares now that you will
be perfectly satisfied with that money,
"Your friend,
"W. C. Adamson.
has giveit perfect satisfaction to myself
qnd to the Architects and property
owners for whom I have worked.
It has most excellent covering capaci
ty, and the Greens are the finest I have
ever used.”

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, ns they cannot reach thedis-

When this tula* in inflamed you have a rumbling
Hound or imperfect hearing, nnd when it ia entire

inflammation cun be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normul condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by Cutnrrh, which is nothing? hut an inflamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.
