Public expectation will b<* robbed of
min h of ita piquancy if certain impor
tant announcements of a political na
ture should not be forthcoming by Sun
day next.
I-’or many weeks past Hon. Hugh M.
Dorsey has been literally deluged with
letters, telegrams and numerously
signed petitions urging him to enter the
ran'for the Governorship. Until re
cently ho has had neither time nor op
portunity to give serious consideration
to these solicitations, but it is now under
stood that he has about finished going
through his correspondence, and during
tlie past few days lias held conferences
with a number of his close friends and
advisers in an effort to arrive at a de-
cirunn regnrding the Governorship race.
If is reported that he will hold a final
conference with his friends to-morrow,
and whatever decision he may arrive at
will be announced in Sunday’s papers.
It is scarcely worth while for The Her
ald and Advertiser to express the hope
that his decision will he favorable to
the importunities of Hie thousands of
people who have been urging him to
make the race, because the preference
of this paper for the brilliant young
Georgian is well known. We believe in
him, and have no doubt whatever as to
the certainty of his election. Ho could
win easily. At the same time, we realize
that the Governorship would be
achieved at considerable sacrifice, both
of time and money, and Mr. Dorsey
cannot be blamed if lie should decide to
stay out of politics —which, even in its
most alluring form, is certainly an un
profitable game. We are willing to leave
the matter to his own good judgment,
however disappointed we may lie if his
decision should not agree with our
wishes.
Another interesting rumor, which has
been current in political circles for the
past month, is that ex-Gov. Jos. M.
Grown will enter the race against Hon.
Hoke Smith for the latter’s seat in the
U. S. Senate, and that his announce
ment will he given out next Sunday.
There is not much upon which to base
the rumor referred to, and, as the ex-
Governor lias obstinately refused to lie
interviewed upon -the subject, it is at
last a matter of speculation. However,
if “Little Joe” should take it into his
hend to try conclusions with his old-
time foo the State campaign, which
has been practically lifeless up to this
time, would at once perk up and take
on the semblance of a sure-enotigh
fight.
Meanwhile we shall see what we shall
see.
The race between Slaton, Hardwick,
Felder, Cooper and Hutchens for Ha-
con's unexpired term in the U. S. Sen
ate is beginning to take on some life.
Hardwick and Felder have been 1 'hot
up” ever since the campaign started,
both lambasting Slaton to a fare you
well, but touching each other lightly,
hb fitly becomes brethren of the snme
“school of thought.” Cooper cracks
the bonds of all his opponents with
seeming impartiality, while Hutchens
is apparently peeved with everybody
and everything except himself and his
candidacy. Meanwhile Slaton, goaded
by the concerted onslaughts of his four
opponents, is gathering wrath at a rate
that is sure to be followed by an explo
sion before many days have passed.
And when the explosion comes some
body is going to get hurt, both in his
feelings and in his candidatorinl pros
pects.
The bill to repeal the free tolls clause
of the Fanarna Canal Act was passed
by Congress on Friday last, and was
signed by the President on Monday. A
more cowardly, unpatriotic piece of
legislation has never been enacted by
that body, and it will be a blot on our
statute books as long as it is permitted
to remain. If President Wilson thinks
he has achieved any glory for his ad
ministration by driving this measure
through Congress, he is welcome to all
the pleasure he may derive from the
delusion.
Five members of the Legislature have
diisi since last summer, and one has re
signed. S. K. Berry, of Whitfield, suc
ceeded by Geo. C. Glenn; C. M. Clark,
of Dougherty, succeeded by H. A. Pea
cock; O \V. MeGehee, of Meriwether,
succeeded by Bion Williams: .1. C. Bry
an, of Catoosa, succeeded by T. P. Car-
roll; Geo. Atwood, of McIntosh, suc
cessor not yet elected. J. N. Wall, of
Elbert, resigned; succeeded by Asa P.
Deadwyler. There have been no deaths
in the Senate.
Gainesville News: “Some of those
who are against Hugh Dorsey pretend
that he is about to make a ‘mis
take.’ We greatly appreciate the in
terest our enemies huve in our friends.
Meanwhile we rise to remark that all
north and middle Georgia are united
for Hugh Dorsey- our next Governor.”
The Grifiln NewHand Sun, printed for
thirty odd years as a morning paper, is
issued now in the afternoon. By the
way, Editor Dudley is turning out a

Pros and Cons of the Dorsey Boom.
Atlanta Conatitution. IHth ir.nt.
The gubernatorial situation, so far as
the entry of Solicitor Hugh M. Dorsey
is concerned, is still a matter of conjec
ture. As has been stated on several oc
casions, Mr. Dorsey will give out a
statement for publication Sunday morn
ing. JuHt what this statement wil) con
tain Mr. Dorsey’s closest and most
trusted friends do not know, for the
reason that he himself doeH not know.
Mr. Dorsey’s position in regard to
thejrace differs from that of any other
candidate.
In the midst of important and trying
litigation which consumed every mo
ment of his time, his friends through
out the State, through letters and tele
grams and personal visits, insisted that
he allow the use of his name for higher
honors. As the days lengthened into
weeks and the weeks into months the
popular clamor increased until nothing
like it has been seen in Georgia politics
in recent years. Just what to do under
the circumstances was a matter not to be
lightly considered. It meant, perhaps,
the reshaping of his entire life’s work.
During the past few days Mr. Dorsey
has gone ever the situation and viewed
it from every angle, but still has reached
no decision. He has asked himself
many questions. He has questioned the
friends whose friendship he most high
ly prizes. He has listened to the en
thusiasm of friends who assure him he
would have a "walk over,” but he has
allowed himself to be misled by Hoover-
optimistic predictions. He has viewed
the possible contest from the angle of
the seasoned politician who indulges in
few illusions and coldly considers facts.
He has thought of the personal sacri
fices his entry into the race would en
tail. There is not an angle to the whole
situation which he has not sized up.
Should lie finally decide to make the
race, it will be without the illusions
which some have indulged in. He will
go into it prepared to put up a fight, just
as he always has done.
Those who know Mr. Dorsey most in
timately understand why ho has not
rushed into the race headlong. They
know how he feels townrd the position
he now holds. They know that lie en
tertains very Hfrong ideas in regard to
full performance of his duty as he sees
it. They cannot conceive of his being
carried away by any enthusiasm of the
moment; and ho will not be. Ho has
two years yet to serve as Solicitor-Gen
eral and they know that certain litiga
tion now will demand his attention for
some time to come.
His real friends know that whatever
decision he reaches will be made only
after he has weighed all the pros and
cons, and they will be satisfied with
that decision.
A little careful study of the situation
by those who are not personally ac
quainted with Mr. Dorsey will convince
them that he is right in taking time to
analyze the question.
On the one hand is a popular clamor
from all parts of the State for him to
become a candidate for an office—the
highest in the gift of the people of the
State—an office which, one year ago,
he had possibly never thought ever
offering for. This call has come from
all kinds and conditions of people, in all
sections. It is such a call as few men
ever receive in a lifetime. It is one of
the most flattering demonstrations that
ever man received in the State of
Georgia.
Many men would have heeded it long
ago and been squarely in the race, for
better or worse. To decline such a
call might mean neglecting what has
been spoken of as the psychological
moment, but men who can and do say
"no” are bigger men than those who
acquiesce too readily.
Hugh Dorsey is n young man —but
not too young to fill the Governor's
chair; yet there are material consider
ations which he will have to take into
account. He fully realizes this.
Then there is the work that a cam
paign would entail. For over a year
Mr. Dorsey has been under a mental
and physical strain which few men
could have stood. He looks to be in
the best of physical health, hut he him
self admits that he is exhausted.
Other considerations are to he taken
into account, and these Mr. Dorsey is
weighing carefully before making up
his mind.
Sunday morning will tell the tale.
No one will know before that time.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local uppHcutionR, ns they cannot Tench the dis
eased portion of the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining- of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, nnd when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out, airi^his tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any ease
of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,
