In addition to the regular work of his department, there is imposed upon Com missioner of Agriculture Price the duty of enforcing the Pure Food law, and a report of the operations of this branch of the service for the four months end ing Dec. 1, 1913, makes a line showing for his administration. The following summary of work accomplished during the period named furnishes interesting reading, and contains some startling Tevelations ns well Thirty-seven slaughter houses were ■examined by State Inspector Methvin, only eight of which were found lit to produce food for human consumption. Six hundred and twelve meat markets were inspected, and fewer (han fifty were found up to the standard of rea sonable cleanliness. Seventy-seven hundred pounds of pu trid meat, was condemned. Five hundred nnd seventy-six dairies were examined, only Bix of which were passed as furnishing clean, disease-free milk and cream to the public, Eigh teen wore reported in fair condition. The remainder, five hundred and fifty, were branded as bad. Two sausage-makers in Dalton, two in Marietta and ten in Atlanta were singled out by name in the State In spector’s report, and their products condemned. Indeed, many other names in many places are given in the report, so the public may know who the dealers in unclean and impure foods are. The common notion is that the meat pro ducts of the Western packers are above suspicion. Not so. The meats of three of these concerns in Atlanta, Savannah and Americus were condemned as unlit for food. Send to the Department of Agriculture for a copy of the report and read it. The enforcement of the Pure Food law frequently becomes nn unplcnsant duty, but Commissioner Price has no discretion in the matter. It is the law, and he has shown no disposition to shirk his duty. lie believes the people should bo protected from impure foods and dairy products, and that unscrupu lous violators of the Pure Food law should be punished. He is right. IIETTER LET THE RULES STAND. The probability of u deadlock in the State Convention, owing to the number of candidates in the Held for Governor and for the short Senatorial term, may decide Chairman Win. J. Harris to call another meeting of the State Execu tive Committee to consider the advisa bility of changing the rules adopted by the committee at its meeting the first week in April. Discussing the matter, Mr. Harris says: ’’It is my idea that the people, and not the convention, Hhould name the nominees for Gover nor and other offices. It is possible under the present rules that this may he defeated, and in my judgement a convention nomination for office would prove u terrible blow to the county unit plan." Just how the committee can expect to better the situation, except by abro gating the county unit rule, we fail to see. We cannot consistently have a blanket primary for U. S. Senator and Gover nor. and the county unit plan for other officers to be nominated. True, a second or "run-over" primary might bo hold, but this would inlliet upon the people the distractions of another cam paign, which should be avoided if pos sible. In our judgment, the committee would make a mistake and create no end of confusion by changing the pres ent rules. "While 1 have not issued my formal announcement as yet, the statemqpt has been printed often that 1 am a candidate for re-election," said State Treasurer Speer on Monday last, talk ing to newspaper men. "1 do not know whether anyone is trying to spread a report that I would not be u candidate, but if they are it is unauthor ized. I am a candidate, and will go be fore the people on my plain record of public service. In a short time l will issue my formal announcement." Mr. Speer need not worry. Helms admin istered his office with honesty and abil ity, and these are desirable qualifica tions for the office which he has tilled so acceptably during the past three years. The people know that the State's strong-box could not be in safer bands, and thev will do the rest. Cletrs Complexion -Removes Skiu Blemishes.

Greensboro Journal: "It strikes us that Hoke and Jack are trying to trade ub olT. ” Moultrie Observer: "If Little Joe Brown decides to get into the game this year, he will liven up things. He is a wheolhorse." Commerce Ncwr: "One little card from Little Joe Brown would act like a stick of dynamite pitched under the political peace pie. It would blow it into Smith-ereens." Athens Banner: "Senator Hoke Smith seems to have the track all to himself, while there is a multiplicity of candi dates for the unexplred term of Sen ator Bacon, with the chance that others may enter." Savannah News: "The better opinion is that Gov. Brown will not he a Sena torial candidate —will not emerge from his retirement—but he may harbor an ambition to sit in the Senate before forever abandoning the political arena." Albany Herald: "Two weeks ago the paramount question with politicians and prospective candidates was, ‘What is Gov. Slaton going to do?' It is changed now to ‘What is "Little Joe” Brown going to do?' Meantime ‘Little Joe’ says nothing more than that it is too early to he saying what one is going to do." Meriwether Vindicator: "Hon. B. F. McLaughlin announces this week for the State Senate. This is Meriwether’s time to furnish the Senator. Mr. Mc Laughlin has spent his entire life in this county. He is the Nestor of the Greenville bar and one of the ablest lawyers in the State. He served two terms in the Legislature and made a splendid record as a lawmaker. He fought extravagant appropriations and stood for an economical administration of State affairs. He would make this district an able and faithful Senator.” Senoia Enterprise-Gazette: "Hon. A. O. Blalock threatens to enter the Gov ernor’s race on the specific platform— the repeal of the tax equalization law. Mr. Blalock iH a mighty good man, but we believe the repeal of this law would be a serious mistake. The law of course is not perfect, but the tax dodger must be looked after.. Perhaps a better plan would be to require the Tax Receiver s seal on all notes or other taxable papers to make them legal. This would bring out a lot of papers which have never had any tax paid on them, at the same time doing away with with so many officeholders. Don't repeal the law, except by substi tuting a stronger one." Macon Telegraph: "We do not know how much truth there is in the report that some of the politicians are trying to bring about a deadlock in the State Convention. There is probably some truth in it. F)ot many men would ob ject to being the ’dark horse’ candidate to reach the Governor’s chair. Most of the desire for a deadlock comes from the class of politicians wh-i like to see the ‘game played. ’ They like politics as they do baseball, because it furnishes excitement and diversion. The outlook now is that there will not be less than three candidates in the race, and maybe more. Dr. L. G. Hardman, J. Ii. Anderson and Judge Nat Harris have already announced. Judge W. E. Thomas and W. J. Harris, the Census Director, are both considering the mat ter, while Speaker Burwell and several others are mentioned. All of these men would carry some counties, but it is doubtful if any of them would get enough votes to give him the nomina tion. In the event that none of them should receive enough votes to give him the nomination the State Convention would have to name the candidate, and there is a possibility that the next Governor would be a man whose name bus not yet been mentioned in con nection with the office. The situation furnishes interesting possibilities.” Augusta Chronicle: "The question is being agitated as to whether, in the event Gov. Slaton should resign the office of Governor and he succeeded by President of the Senate J. Randolph Anderson, following the primary, Mr. Anderson can continue to act as Gover nor aft* r Oct. 7, the date upon which a new General Assembly is elected. It is stated that lending attorneys of the State differ on this question. Some take the position that Mr. Anderson’s commission as President of the Senate uies with tile old Legislature, while others contend that the law applying to the succession to the Governorship re fers to the individual holding the office of President of the Senate at the time the vacancy in the Governorship oc- cure, and that such an individual con tinues President of the Senate and act ing Governor until the new Gen eral Assembly meets and elects a new President of the Senate. The question is an interesting one, and has before been agitated when efforts were made to provide for the office of Lieutenant- Governor. It is anticipated that Gov. Slaton, if elected to the Senate, would resign some time in September. The Governor himself says that he has given careful attention to the question of succession to the office and obtained ! the opinion of many prominent lawyers i that the law contemplates that the | President of the Senate shall remain I acting Governor even though a new ■ General Assembly is elected while he is so acting. The Governor declared that there would be no necessity for calling 1 an extra session of the Legislature, hut that, should he resign before Oct. : 7. Mr. Anderson would, by virtue of bis ■ office, become acting Governor until the new Governor-elect qualified at the regular session of the General Assembly in June, 1915. ” Rome Coming in Special Train for Opening Game. I Rome Tribune-Herald. If as many as sixty people will buy I tickets at $3 40 tor the round trip the Central of Georgia will make ar- rangeim tits lor a special train to bring them back to Rome on the night of May 1. the opening day of the baseball season. It bus been suggested that Rome fans ami Rome business men combine lo make this a booster trip—advertise Rome by their presence at the ball game, by scattering literature along the route, anti by letting everybody Know that Rome is on the map. If me party is formed the crowd will leave Rome on the southbolmd train at lu a. m , arriving Newnan at 1:45 p. m. Hus allows ample time for lunch and a luile tune tor boosting before the ball game is called. Returning, the regular train leaves N't wnan at 7:10 p m., which gives time tor sunper after the game. fine instance from Rome to Newnan is 84 miles, and the Central has quoted an attractive price for the round trip. Ras Glass Dies By Own Hand. Atlanta Constitution, (Wednesday.) H. E. Glass, a prominent business man of Sharpsburg, Ga,, shot himself through the heart at the WinecnfT Ho tel Tuesday between 1 and 2 o’clock, in his bed-room. A maid knocked at his door, and, failing to receive a response, opened the door and found him lying across his bed in a pool of blood. He was dressed in his underclothes, having arranged in careful order his outer gar ments, which were hung on chairs in the room. He was last seen in the ho tel lobby about 1 o’clock. In the dead man’s undershirt sleeve was found a death note. It read in part as follows: "God have mercy on my soul. 1 am going to join my dear wife in heaven. I cannot bear this any longer. I hope,my friends will forgive me for doing this. Give my love to my friends.” Another letter was found in Glass’ coat which was not dated. The letter was signed by his wife. It was written upon the stationery of a hotel at Moul trie, Ga. Its contents indicated that some time in the past his wife had ta ken her life, and this letter appeared to he the death note she had left for her husband. It told him how much she loved him, and asked his forgiveness. Glass is believed to have taken his life after brooding over the deed of his wife. The letter was worn, showing that it had been carried around in the man’s pockets. Another note written by Glass re quested that his brother, S. W. Glass, at Sharpsburg, Ga., be notified. The body was removed to r.reenberg & Bond’s undertaking establishment, where an inquest was held last night by Coroner Donehoo, resulting in a ver dict of suicide. The man’s relatives in Sharpsburg have been notified, and are on the way to Atlanta to carry the body back home. Glass registered at the hotel April 23.
