Judging from the character of stuff filing Bent out from Atlanta every few ciayB to various out-of-town newspa pers, a press bureau has been estab lished in that city to try to head off the movement to make Hugh Dorsey Gov ernor which is now sweeping the State from one end to the other. Here is a sample of the kind of rot referred to, which appeared under an Atlanta date line in a recent issue of the Savannah I’rosH - "A State-wide protest is being made against a movement which is under way in Atlanta to put Hugh Dorsey in tiie gubernatorial race and make the Mary f’hagan murder case a political issue in the coming primary. Strong political voices are also raised against it here in Mr. Dorsey’s home communi ty, and present, indications are that in the face of this feeling Mr. Dorsey’s proposed candidacy may not material ize. The point is made that if Mr. Dorsey runs at all, he would have to run on the Frank case as a platform, since he has never taken any part in the political life of the State and is known to the public at large purely and solely through his connection with this single case as Solicitor-General and prosecuting attorney.” That “strong political voices” are being raised against Mr. Dorsey's can didacy wo do not question for a mo ment—especially among the politicians supporting one or anothor of the sever al candidates already in the field for the office named—but Mr. Dorsey iB not worried in the least by these raucus plaints. For one “political voice” raised in protest against his candidacy there are thousands of earnest suppli cations from the PEOPLE! that ho merely put himself into their hands — and they “will do the rest.” This is the true situation, so far as it involves the possible candidacy of Mr. Dorsey for the Governorship. It should he borne in mind that Mr. Dor sey is not seeking the office—has never intimated thnt he even desired prefer ment of this character. Through all the stress and excitement of the Frank trial, and the complicated and bewil dering phases of the case that have de veloped since the conviction of the mur derer, Mr. Dorsey has never lost his head. He has nllowed nothing to dis tract attention from his sworn duty as State’s prosecuting attorney, or to swerve him from the one purpose in view, viz: To bring to the gallows the guilty wretch responsible for the death of little Mary Phagan. Unspoiled by tlattery, ho has been equally unmoved by the plaudits of the people for his masterly conduct of the case, in which be easily overmatched an array of legal talent such as is rarely encountered in a Georgia court-room. Needless to Bay, nothing could have been farther from his thoughts or wishes than that the successful issue of the case should be given a political turn. Ho would scorn any advantage his official position might give him to make a play for political reputation. There is no denying the fact, however, that his brilliant and successful conduct of the Frank case has won for him a State-wide fame— has furnished an opportunity for the display of an ability and a fearlessness unsuspected and unappreciated by the public at large until this chance came his way. The popular demand for his candidacy just now, therefore, is a tribute to his ability as an advocate and to his splendid manhood -qualities that eminently fit him for the office of Gov ernor. or for any station in public life to which he may be called. The Frank case is a mere incident in his career, and should have no more bearing upon the Governorship race than would any other notable achievement in the line of his official and professional duty. He would regard with disfavor, if not con tempt, any effort to make the Frank case an issue in the campaign, if he should decide to make the race for Gov ernor. It would not be necessary. He is big enough and brainy enough to run upon his merits, and is the last man in Georgia who would try to float into of fice upon such an issue us his political enemies are now seeking to frame up. The Atlanta branch of the anti-Dor sey junta will have to work overtime, and adopt shrewder methods than it has yet employed, if it hopes to head off the Dorsey boom. Yes, sir-oe! Hon. H. H. Dean, of Gainesville, spent theother day in Atlanta. Speaking of the Hugh Dorsey boom he said: ’’All Dorsey has to do is to write a brief statement to the effect that he favors law enforcement, is opposed to delays in criminal cases, favors more adequate laws to convict perjurers and persons guilty of defeating the ends of justice, and that he is too busy to en gage in a personal campaign, but that he is in the race for Governor. Such a communication would cause the people of Georgia to rally to him to a remarkable degree. He would be elected beyond alldouit.” That's what everybody is saying. A gentleman interested in stopping the illegal sale of whiskey in Thomas- ville haH handed the Thomasville Times-Enterprise a statement of the prices obtained from the time the corn is gathered until it has been con sumed. It iB as follows: From one bushel of corn there are distilled about four gallons of whiskey, which retails for $17. The farmer gets $ BO The Government gets -1 40 The railroad gets 1.00 The manufacturer gets 4 00 The drayman gets HO The consumer gets Drunk The wife gets Discouraged The children get Neglected The “tiger” gets.Caught (occasionally). The community gets A Had Name Judge Nat Harris, of Macon, candi date for Governor, resents keenly the unjust imputation contained in a card published by Hon. W. J. Harris, of Ce- dartown, (also a candidate for the Governorship,) that he (Judge Harris) would be under the influence and sub servient to the interests of the rail roads if elected to that office. He has challenged the Cedartown candidate to meet him in joint debate and prove the eh arge. The challenge had not been accepted at last accounts. The attempt to create the impression that Hon. W. J. Harris is "Hoke Smith’s man for Governor” is summa rily disposed of by Senator Smith him self, who, in a published statement, says: “The candidacy of Mr. W. J. Harris for Governor came as a surprise to mo. I urged him to remain in the office of Director of the Census, to which he had been appointed partly upon the recommendation of Senator Bacon and myself. ItJs my intention to have no part in unyone’s race for Governor.” Hon. Hugh Dorsey received a peti tion yesterday signed by 169 citizens of Folk county urging him to make the race for Governor. Folk is the home county of Hon. W. J. Harris, himself a candidate for the Governorship. Macon News: ”W. J. Harris started out like he wanted a fight, and ho ought to be satisfied now. He’s got it. ” Hugh M. Dorsey Still Silent; Has Much Hard Work Ahead. Atlanta Constitution, 27th inut. Hugh M. Dorsey still maintains ab solute silence in regard to the guberna torial situation and the frequent use of his name in that connection. He has ten days or two weeks of the hardest kind of work before him, and it is im probable that in the meantime he will have a spare moment in which to con sider any matter outside of his court house duties. Hut if Hugh Dorsey is silent, the public is far from it. From all parts of the State comes the clamor for him to run. The general opinion now is that Mr. DorHcy'H friends will take the matter in hand and put him in the race. There is a persistent rumor afloat that a monster mass meeting will be called and that before Mr. Dorsey knows it he will lie in the race and in the hands of his friends. One thing certain —in all this popular clamor Mr. DnrHey has taken absolute ly no part. He has stood aloof from it. He has done nothing to stimulate it; nothing to promote it. Therefore, it is all the more remarkable. He was seen by a Constitution re porter Tuesday, and in reply to a point blank question replied: “1 liuve given the Governor’s race no consideration —absolutely none. It would be unfair for mo to do so at this time. My first duty is to the office 1 hold, and there are many things which 1 must attend to before 1 shall be free to think of other matters.” As the days go by Mr. Dorsey’s mail is still increasing. It has gotten en tirely beyond him —it will take days for him to even open the letters. Popular State Official Who is “On the Job.” Cedartown Standard. 21»t Inst. lion. J. D. Price, Georgia’s efficient Commissioner of Agriculture, paid Ce dartown a welcome visit yesterday, and was kept busy shaking bands with his many friends here. Mr. Price is making a most useful servant of the people. He is u practical farmer himself, and lias the needs of the farmer closely at heart. ”1 am paying especial attention to the one and two-horse farmers,” says Mr. Price; "the tiig farmer doesn’t need me quite so bad. He is trying in every possible way under the law to protect the farmers’ interests, and is making a genuine suc cess of his work. Mr. Price is a candidate to succeed himself in the office which he is so suc cessfully filling during his first term. His formal announcement will soon ap pear, and will certainly be cordially re ceived in Polk county. Disposing of “Little Joe” Brown. Macon Telegraph. It is a lutie amusing to see the com ments in different papers of the State regarding former Gov. Jos. M. Brown. There is all kind of speculation as to what he is going to do this year. Many of his distinguished friends (and former enemies,) are trying to get Mm into the race for Governor. They think he ought to run. Others think lie ought to get in the mix-up with Slaton, Felder, Hardwick, Cooper, Willie Upshaw, and others. Of course, there is tio room for a can didate in any other field. In the mean time, “Little Joe” Brown is attending to his own business, fanning the tlies off those who try to tread on him, and looking after his crops between times. It was "Little Joe” Brown who taught President Wilson how to "watch and wait." LIV-VER-LAX tones up the system, stimulates the liver to work in harmony with the other organs.

Newnan, Ga State Treasurer Speer Widely In dorsed for Re-election. Henry County Weekly; "Hon. W. J. Speer’s administration of the State’s finances has been honest and business like, every cent coming in and going out having always been clearly and strictly accounted for. Mr. Speer is a gentleman of high purpose, undoubted integrity, and pleasing bearing in his contact with his fellows. He has hosts of friends throughout Georgia, who will give him a splendid vote of in dorsement.” Griffin News and Sun: “Mr. Speer has scores of friends in Griffin and Spalding county, as well as in other sections of the State, who will lie glad of an opportunity to vote for him ag-ain for an office which he has filled so faith fully and efficiently.” Macon News: “While Mr. Speer re fuses in his announcement to make any fulsome remarks about himself, it is unquestionably due him to say that he has made a splendid record as State Treasurer. There is no record any where of Mr. Speer's conductor hia of fice ever having been criticized.” Barnesville News - Gazette: “Mr. Speer has made an admirable record as State Treasurer, and will make a fine race again this year. The people have confidence in him, and hosts of them want to see him continue in theofiice.” Sandersville Georgian: “State Treas urer Speer has made a fine record and deserves re-election. There is not a more competent, faithful official in the State, and all who know him admire him. He is a splendid man, and has many friends throughout the State.” Wake up your liver. A lazy liver brings on the worst of diseases. Take LIV-VER-LAX now. John R. Cates Drug Co. Who is Original Dorsey Man? Atlanta Constitution. First thing you know there will be severul thousand persons claiming the honor of being the original Hugh Dor sey man—provided, of course, he de cides to make the race for Governor. Already there are quite a few who lay claim to this distinction. Spend half an hour or so with him on the streets if you would get some idea of the pressure that is being brought to bear on him. His progress from the court-house to lunch is invariably inter rupted dozens of times by persons—to tal strangers frequently—who want to assure him of their support. Even his meals are interrupted by persons who want to shake his hand and feel him out on his political aspirations. It would be folly to say that Mr. Dor sey has not been deeply gratified by the many evidences of appreciation he has received. He has. But his attitude is still that of some weeks ago, when his name first began to be mentioned. To all inquiries he gives the assurance that he has been too busy to give the mat ter serious consideration. And this is true.

Dr. Yow, as well as being one of the wealthiest citizens of this section, is one of the most popular, and would wield a large influence for Dor sey. »■ - ♦ Coughed for Three Years “I atn a lover of your godsend to humanity and science.

I want to tell you how much good your Swamp-Root did me. About four years ago I suffered from what the doctors called fistula, and for two years of that time I endured what no tongue can tell. I also had inflammation of the bladder and I tried doctors’ medicines without receiving any help. Someone told me about Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root. After giving it a thorough trial, I re ceived relief, so kept on using it and to day I am a strong and well woman. If I ever feel badly or out of sorts I take Swamp-Root and it always straightens me out. I honestly believe that this medicine would cure all troubles you recommend it for, and it is a pleasure for me to send mv testimony and photo graph to you. I think Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is one of the greatest medicines on earth. Respectfully yours, MRS. JOHN BAILY, West Main St. Portland, Ind.
