Atlanta, Ga.—Even serious
talk about another gubernator
ial candidate has died out, and
it is practically assured now
that the only candidates to go
before the people next August
will be John M. Slaton and Joe
Hill Hall.
Both Mr. Slaton and Mr. Hall
will be tied up with their legis
lative duties from now practi
cally until the primary, so the
campaign speech will not be
heard in Georgia as often this
year as in the past. Os course,
the candidates will manage to
keep in touch with the voter
through the medium of the
mails, and tons of campaign lit
erature will be sent out.
It is recognized • that publie
interest this year will be very
largely absorbed in the national
campaign, and for this reason
the people of the State are glad
there is no bitter, factional race.
Mr. Slaton is receiving con
stantly such asusrance of sup
port that he feels deeply grate
ful, and the prediction is offer
ed that he will be the successor
of Governor Joseph M. Brown.
Judge George Hillyer’s an
nouncement for the railroad
commissioner brings four can
didates actively in the open for
the two long terms to be filled
at the August primary. Judge
Hillyer and Joseph F. Gray are
candidates for re-election, and
they are being opposed by Trox
Bankston, editor of the West
Point News, and Charles Jack
son Shipp, editor of the Cordele
Rambler.
There is also a strong proba
bility that J. J. Flynt, of Griffin,
will also offer, and it is rumor
ed that the traveling men will
offer a candidate whose plat
form will be flat 2 cent passen
ger rate over all the roads of
the state.

। tween Hardwick and Tom Wat-
I son will probably play an impor
tant part in this contest. It is
said that both will welcome the
opportunity to try conclusions
again and measure each other’s
strength.
There has long been an un
derstanding that Congressman
Hardwick has been nursing Sen
atorial ambitions, but his close
friends say he will fight to a
finish for his seat in Congress
again. ' The entire state will
watch the contest with keen in
terest.
It seems practically assured
that Attorney General T. S.
Fe,lder will offer for re-election
to that place. He has enter
tained a hankering to enter the
gubernatorial race, but condi
tions have not been such as tc
encourage him to do so. Judge
W. R. Jones, of Meriwether, is
also an aspirant for the job of
attorney general.
The special train over the
Southern Railway bearing a
majority of the Georgia delega
tion left Atlanta for Baltimore
Sunday morning with a large
party aboard. The train reach
ed Baltimore Monday morning
at 8 o’clock. Neither Tom Wat
son nor Tom Felder were a
board. Mr. Felder went earlier
and via Cincinnati to avoid
South Carolina and Governor
Cole Blease’s warrants.
John M. Slaton has not yet
issued his full platform, but is
expected to do so within the
next few weeks. While he is
what may be called a conserva
tive, it is said his stand in im
portant public questions will
be such that no reasonable pro
erressive can find fault with it.
For instance, he does not be
lieve that the powers of the
railroad commission, or its ef
ficiency, should be impaired,
though he thinks that depart
ment, like al,l others, should be
administered economically. He
is inclined to the view that the
present arrangement might be
improved, but he does not think
■ anything should be done that
1 would even indicate the impair
■ ment of its powers along ma
■ terial lines.

STOP, LOOK, LISTEN,
THINK AND SAY NO
Four words have played great
parts with plans on three occas
ions.
The first notable quartette
was that political utterance:
“Rum, Romanism and Rebel
lion.”
Then along came that erup
tion of Vanderbilt when he ut
tered his famous declaration:
“The public be damned.”
But the man who made a for
tune was the one who coined the
sxperssion you see at every
danger point on the railroads:
“Stop, look And listen.”
Today the demand of the age
is for additional warning to the
traveler along the highway of
ife. There are danger points
hidden and curves indiscernable
that may plunge you into the
abyss of moral, or financial
ruin. You want to shun both
these dangers.
Stop, look, listen, think and
say no. Just adopt this as a
motto and you will have ample
opportunity to thank yourself
for the action before you are
many moons older. There are
countless schemes being promul
gated to get you entrapped and
take from you something that
is worth while. Remember the
motto.
There are fakirs parading in
every community. Generally
they are travelers with a slick
tongue and oily ways, but don’t
get inveigled in their ways.
Just think of the sentence a
bove. If you will turn them a
way it will be a glad day with
you. Thing about the reason
why they are not doing just the
things they want you to do and
the answer should be convincing
enough.
These pilferers of your wealth
health and happiness are noth
ing more or less than respecta
ble thieves, made so by custom.
Do not respect a thief, no mat
ter in what guise. Say no ev
ery time. They will come to you
with petty stock propositions,
with life insurance propagandas
not sanctioned by standard old
line companies. They will come
in the guise of the benefactor,
of presenting something for the
benefit of humanity* from some
lecture course, on up or down
the line. It may benefit human
ity, but you will have to pay the
price. Sometimes these lec
eure organizers and other pro
moters entangle you by getting
two or three other prominent
men to go in with you, some
times they send a business wo
man along and again a talented
man who sells his intellect and
often his principle for dollars.
Do not be deceived.
Inquire about things, think
about them. But above all say
no. If you want something for
your town get up some local en
terprise do not feed and clothe
some gang of boodlers who care
nothing for you or the town af
ter the sum of dollars they bind
you to pay is gathered in. This
comes straight from the should
er, it is advice of the right kind.
There is nobody in your'home
town to lose in this case—cer
tainly not yourself; if you fol
low the course mapped out. If
you want to donate something
in the way of large sums give
it to your church, your school
of something else. Do not pro
vide for somebody whom you
have never seen, some travelers
who will never pass your way
but once.
Whatever you do, remember
the injunction: Stop, look, lis
ten, think and say no—and say
it forcibly and unmistakably.

ceived several fine
