Speaking of sick politicians, how

"When a fellow engages in the
newspaper business he ought to
cut the law and office holding
out,” says the Brunswick News.
Nevertheless, a few professional
politicians in Georgia are persist
ent in their efforts to mix journal
ism and office holding.
The Walton Tribune seeks to
extract comfort from the fact that
a majority of the newspapers of
Georgia are opposing Hoke Smith.
As a large majority of the voters
arc supporting Smith, doubtless
his opponents would bo willing to
swap newspaper support for votes.
The Georgia Industrial Associa
tion, an organization composed of
practically all the cotton manufac
turers of Georgia, will hold its
sixth annual convention at Warm
Springs, beginning June 7th. One

in China and the South’s trade re
lations with that country.
Clark Howell to the Herald and
Advertiser: "'BUI Hailey’ please
crawl out of the underbrush and
come home."
The News’ circulation is still
climbing. Coweta county people
evidently see and appreciate the
News’ strong points.
It is rumored that the Herald
and Advertiser will shortly hitch
its little red wagon to the coat
tails of another also-run a while.

and Central railroads in reference
to building that elegant union pas
senger station in Newnan.
To the Atlanta St West Point
and Central railroads: Newnan is
waiting patiently for that union
passenger station at the railroad
junction. Why don't you get
busy and build it?
Coweta county is all right. It is
already one of the best of Georgia
counties, and is steadily improving,
livery section of Coweta is pros
perous, and Progress is the watch
word everywhere.
Since the Herald and Adver
tiser took to the tall timber in the
gubernatorial contest, it is reliably
reported that Clark Howell has
been singing in plaintive tones,
"Where Is My Wandering 1 toy To
night?"
Those loud mouthed editors and
politicians who regard Ham Mc
Whorter’s Executive Committee
as the Democratic party of Geor
gia, evidently believe the party in
this State is extremely small
potatoes.
The attitude of the Macon Tele
graph in the present campaign is
certainly not one of the campaign’s
least amusing features. Lately,the
Telegraph has become so flurried
and flustrated it has been forced
to seek a vent for its outraged
feelings in editorial columns of a
width that show up the staid and
stately Telegraph in hues as yel
low as those that distinguish the
enterprising Atlanta newspapers.
The retirement ot the "home
candidate” from the gubernatorial
race affords the Herald and Ad
vertiser an excellent opportunity
to return to the support of its first
love Candidate Clark Howell.
The chief difficulty in the path of
the prodigal seems to be a defi
ciency in nerve. Evidently the II.
and A. lacks the courage to sup
port a candidate as unpopular in
Coweta county as Clark Howell is.
It is freely predicted about town
that the next object of the Herald
and Advertiser's fond and fragile
affection will be Plain Dicky Rus
tle; but there be some knowing
ones who assert that the II. and
A. is about to center the wealth of
its warmed-over love upon Col.
Kstill; while others say that a vis
ion of lovliness in the lithesome
form of Uncle deems Smith has
captivated the palpitating, maiden
ly heart of the Herald and Adver
tiser.
near the mark of perfection as is
possible in a small system; and
when the new system is placed in
working order there will be no
reasonable grounds cf complaint
against the service afforded any
patron in Newnan.
As the News understands the
matter, a system and service of
this kind is what the Southern
Bell has promised Newnan. One
thing is certain—if the Southern
Bell lives up to its promise, the
people of Newnan will not fail to
respond to its efforts to give them
satisfactory telephone service; and
the result will be a vast increase of
the local business of the telephone
company, As the case stands at
present, the Southern Bell has a
monopoly in the telephone busi
ness of Newnan, and it can main
tain its position by maintaining
first class service for its patrons.
Telephone service is a matter of
mutual interest and importance to
the Southern Bell and the people
ot Newnan. If the Southern Bell
stands by Newnan and gives this
city a square deal, the people of
Newnan will evidence their appre
ciation by patronage that will jus
tify all expenditures for an improv
ed system and better service.
Booking to the future, the South
ern Bell can afford to spend some
money in Newnan, even if the
present status of its local business
did not justify the expenditure; but
the News is reliably informed that
receipts of the Southern Bell’s
! Newnan office are larger than the
J receipts of any other office in the
South in a city of this size. This tact
justifies the telephone company in
pursuing a very liberal policy in
dealing with its Newnan patrons
and ought to be made the basis of
special evidences ot the company’s
appreciation of its Newnan con
nection and business.

The Howell forces are certainly
trying hard to raise a dust by paw
ing the earth and loud bellowing,
but beneath it all can be seen the
fine Italian hands of the ‘-men
who control”—and Mr. Howell’s
very active press agent! There is
no movement of the people toward
Howell apparent, and he is making
no new converts worth mention
ing, so far as we can see.—La

It the primary had been held
along with the state primary, Mr.
Lee’s majority would have been
something enormous. Judge Fite
intimates in a card published in

be defeated by the same "gang.”
In this he is mistaken* The re
form element nominated Mr. Lee.
In one of our districts where Mr.
Lee got 26 and Fite 3, a poll was
taken for governor, which resulted

One of the surprising things de
veloped by the San Francisco
catastrophe is the capacity for
prompt, efficient and patriotic ser
vice developed by San Francisco’s
Socialist Mayor, Eugene V.
Schmitz. All the radical and
revolutionary elements in his city
were on his side in his election for
mayor. Socialists, anarchists, law-
bieakers of all sorts, and all of so
ciety’s extreme left voted for him.
Many conservative and respectable
men also were on his side, but
most ot the men who gave his
candidacy its peculiar distinctive
ness were neither respectable nor
conservative. But Mayor Schmitz
has surprised both his supporters
and his opponents. In the crisis
which struck his city he has done
immeasurably better than many of
his friends wanted him to do, and
better than most 01 his enemies
supposed he would do. He arose
to tne demands of the emergency

this can be said. Eight counties

of the state only grows a little over
