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 cracking good paper these days. It is not likely that take any more trips away.—Macon News. Nor Felder either. Gov. Slaton wil to Griffin right The Legislature Wednesday. will convene next 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.
