MASS MEETING.
Our distinguished fellow-citizen, Hon.
Hewlette A. Hall, having been honored
by appointment to the office of Attor
ney-Genera), and learning that he will
boa candidate in the approaching State
primary for the long term, we hereby
call a mass meeting of the citizens of
t’oweta for next Tuesday, 5th inst., at
the court-house, at 11 a. m., to give
such indorsement to his candidacy as
may be deemed proper in presenting him
to the people of Georgia for the office
nnmed. All citizens of the county are
requested to attend the meeting.
Many Citizens.
HON. HEWLETTE A. HALL.
On Wednesday last Gov. Brown ap
pointed Hon. Hewlette A. Hall to the
office of Attorney-General, to fill the
unexpired term of .Judge JohnC. Hart,
who resigned that position to make the
race for Governor.
Gov. Brown’s selection of Mr. Hall for
this important office is not only a dis
tinguished honor for that gentleman,
but a compliment to Coweta county as
well, which is fully appreciated by Mr.
Hall’s friends and fellow-citizens. He
wbs not an applicant for the position,
and Coweta's appreciation of the honor
conferred is therefore agreeably en
hanced by the fact that the appoint
ment came without personal solicita
tion from Mr. Hall, His name was
presented to the Governor' by certain
friends who chanced to be in Atlanta
on the day (Monday) that Judge Hart
startled the State by announcing for
the Governorship, and Mr. Hall was in
entire ignorance of the action of these
friends until some hours later. How
ever, when it became known that his
name had been submitted to the Gov
ernor for consideration, the suggestion
was strongly indorsed from nearly ev
ery part of the State, and Gov. Brown
received many telegrams and letters
urging the appointment of Mr. Hall.
That he made no mistake in so do
ing has been evidenced since by numer
ous manifestations of approvul from
the people. Indeed, it is doubtful if
Gov. Brown could have chosen more
wise'y had ho hunted the State over.
Mr. Hall is splendidly equipped for the
duties of the office. He is thoroughly
trained in the law, with a native ability
and a capacity for work equalled by
few lawyers in the State, and will
make a brilliant record in the office
to which he has been called.
Mr. Hall will be a candidate in the
coming State primary for the regular
or long term, and that he will be elected
goes without saying. Coweta is justly
proud of her honored son, and presents
him to the State with the unanimous
indorsement of his home people.
JUDGE HART ENTERS GOVER
NORSHIP RACE.
The biggest sensation of the State
campaign was the announcement of
Attorney-General John C. Hart on
Monday last that he would be in the
race for the Governorship. In ex
planation of his suddenly-projected
candidacy Judge Hart says he was
impressed that the usefulness of either
Brown or Smith as Governor would be
impaired by renson of their factional
entanglements, and that much personal
bitterness would result inevitably.
He thought “the commonwealth of
Georgia should be saved from further
strife," and, without saying as much
in so many words, he submitted him
self as a compromise candidate. His
announcement is as follows:
"This announcement. I trust, is not
born of personal umbition. If it is
mistake, let me plead in extenuation at
least ray good intentions. If I have
rightfully judged my heart, this course
is taken in response*to a sense of duty
—a duty bom of friendship which I owe
the distinguished gentlemen who are
now rival candidates for the Governor
ship of this State; and a duty to the
commonwealth, as I conceive it. It
does not involve personal or political
reflection upon either of these distim
guished gentlemen. Gov. Smith and
Gov. Brown have, respectively, been
honored by the people of this State by
election to the self-same office they are
now seeking. As^one in a position to
know, 1 cheerfully bear testimony that
each, inspired by purest patriotism, and
with unparalleled devotion, met and dis
charged its duties and responsibilities
as best he could under the circum
stances. I do not challenge their pa
triotism. Serving under each as Attor
ney-General, my relations were, are
and shall continue to be, most cordial
and pleasant. The candidacy of either
would meet with no protest from me,
while the candidacy of both does. So
much for them personally, and of them
as Governors.
"As the candidates of factions thei
usefulness is greatly impaired, and ir
reparable wrong and injury is done the
State. This is not their" wish, I am
sure, but it is the inevitable conse
quence of personal bitterness and irre
concilable differences. The common
wealth of Georgia should be saved
from further strife.
"To this end I announce my candida
cy for the office of Governor. In doing
tiiis 1 lay aside an office the duties of
which are far more congenial to me
than those of Governor. In this spirit
of peace I enter the race. If elected
Governor 1 ahall take care to see that
the laws are faithfully executed. No
Governor can constitutionally do more,
nor, consistently with his oath of office,
do less.”
Judge Hart is one of the purest and
best men in the State, and qualified for
any office in the gift of the people; but
it is doubtful whether he has chosen
an opportune time to submit himself
as a candidate for the Governorship.
A few weeks ago, when both factions
would have welcomed a compromise
candidate, (and, when J udge Hart
was himself approached upon the sub
ject,) his candidacy would have ap
pealed to thousand of voters all over
the State. But, in our judgment, he
has waited too long. The opportunity
has passed. Both Gov. Brown and ex-
Gov. Smith have come into the race
since, and it is not at all likely that
either will withdraw from the contest.
The friends of Gov. Brown will support
him warmly for re-election, and the
friends of ex-Gov. Smith will be just as
staunch and lo^il in support of their
favorite for the Governorship. It will
be difficult, therefore, for Judge Hart
to obtain the recognition in this cam
paign which his merits deserve, and for
this reason his real friends will regard
his candidacy for the Governorship as
ill-timed, if not unfortunate.
Griffin News and Sun: “Judge Hart
doubtless thought he had read Ids own
Hart right, though the. human heart is
a powerfully deceptive thing. We take
his word for it that his act was done
without overwhelming pressure, and
likewise that he considers he is- acting
without guile for the best- interests of
the State. At the same time, to a man
who has had the gubernatorial idea
broached to him for several years past,
may have looked like the very
opportunity to jump in and carry off the
bone while others were snarling over it.
As Gov. Brown said, when told of this
latest entry, “Judge Hart is a good
man.” Yet we cannot refrain from
thinking of how little avail is virtue in
a gubernatorial race, as we drop a tear
to the memory of the short heat run by
The News and Sun’s candidate for Gov
ernor four years ago, Rev. G. A. Nun-
nally. ”
There is a total net gain of 18G names
on the State pension roll, according to
the annual report of Pension Commis
sioner Jown W. Lindsey, just made to
Gov. Brown, involving an increuse in
the pension payments of $11,159.
Totnl deaths of pensioners during 1909
were 1,118, while 1,304 names were
added to the rolls. This increase is de
spite the fact that the new pension law,
opening up the lists to all Confederate
soldiers and widows, hns not yet gone
into effect. There is a bill now pending
in the Senate, (having already passed
the House,) for an appropriation of
about $200,000 for additional pension
payments under the new law.
The State Campaign.
Albany Herald.
Contrary to what many of us had ex
pected anti desired, we are to have an
other strenuous campaign in Georgia
this summer. We have had so much
political agitation during the past few
years that most of the people of the
State, especially the business men,
would have been glad to escape a re
newal of it this year; but circumstances
and conditions have conspired to pre
cipitate a contest that promises to be
about as warm as any we have had in
recent years.
But The Herald is inclined to believe
that there will be less of factional poli
tics and personal bitterness in this
year’s campaign than characterized
those of two years and four years ago.
While the lines are perhaps as clearly
drawn between the two factions that
contend for the control of the State
Government as they have ever been, we
relieve that the masses of the people
have in a measure become tired of so
much factional politics, and will there
fore be more inclined to consider the
isues involved this year than they
were in the two lust campaigns. The
average man of intelligence, in the
light of all that has transpired within
the past six years, if beginning to sep
arate the real and material from tne
Jctitiou.s and spurious in our State poli
tics, and the people are more inclined,
if we have estimated public sentiment
correctly, to take their politics ration
ally and draw a line of distinction be
tween patriotism and mere factional
ism.

In a message to the General Assem
bly Gov. Brown calls attention to
statement from the State Treasurer,
according to whose estimate there will
bo unpaid balances Jan. 1, 1911, on ap
propriations for the present year ap
proximating $550,000, and that there
will be in the Treasury at that time
available to meet the unpaid appropria
tions only $490,845.82, or a deficit of
$59,154.18, with all taxes estimated to
be collected during the present year
expended. _________
The New York Journal of Commerce
says that railroads will pay out $3,000,
000 in dividends on July 1 more than
they did a year ago, the industrial con
cerns will pay out $7,000,000 more in
dividends, and the traction companies
and banks and trust companies will
pay out small increases over last year.
Altogether, the July interest disburse
ments will be $11,000,000 greater than
last year.
Excessive use of alcohol is blamed for
one-third of the insane dependents, be
tween 30 and 40 per cent, of all epilep
tic cases, and from 40 to 50 per cent, of
all cases of imbecility in the United
States. This percentage seems exag
gerated, but the statistics cannot be
contradicted. They speak for them
selves, and tell the alarming story.
— An effort will be made by members
of the Legislature to increase the sala
ries of the Judges of the Court of Ap
peals, yet at the same time they want
to abolish the office of Countv Treasu
rer, so as to cut expenses. This is
poor kind of economy. The Judges get
plenty, and are usually men of means,
while the County Treasurer’s office is
usually given to some worthy man who
has no means of support and is unable
to work; hence, it is purely a charitable
office, and should never be abolished.
It looks too much like taking away
from the poor and giving to the rich.—

Deafness Cannot be Cured
t'y local applications, ss they cannot reach the dis-
cased portion of the ear. There is only one way to
cute deafnosm and that is by constitutional reme
dies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.
