The Hon. Jim Smith of Ogle
thorpe county seems to be rather
backward about coming forward
with his announcement for governor
of Georgia.
Senators Tillman and McLaurin
are no longer in contampt with the
senate, but the contempt, of a very
great many people will rest upon
them continually.
It is said the Central of Georgia
Railway Co., is preparing to fill the
gap between Perry and Hawkins
villo, thus making a through line to
Savannah, via Dublin.

By a vote of censure lust week the
fight of Senators Tillman and Mc-
Lanrin m the senate became a closed
incident, so far as official action of
the senate is concerned.

TTis said the United States gov

imbursement of the ransom money
paid the “brigands” for the release
of Miss Stone, the missionary. The
foundation for this demand is that
the capture was effected in Turkish
territory.

The Columbia State says that Sen
ator Tillman was called a liar by a
aiewspaper correspondent at Black-
-ville, S. O., in 1888 and by another
at Marion, S U, in 1890, and in
neither case did he exhibit the least
"bit of “tiger-like ferocity.” That
may explain why h,e hit McLaurin

have full power, and choice of time,
only restricted by the prov : sion that
the person subject to road duty can
not be required to work more than
five days without intermission.
Money will not be accepted in lieu
of work, and the farmers are appre
hensive that much inconvenience to
themselves and injury to agriculture
will result by their hands being
forced to work the roads when they
are urgently needed ou the farms.
If a commutation tax could be
accepted there would bo no com
plaint, but tho law requires each
person subject to work as the road
commissioners demand, or furnish
an acceptable substitute.
It is not the desire of the county
commissioners to unnecessarily sub
ject the farmers to any inconvenience,
or interfere with their farm work,
but they are powerless to do other
wise than as the law directs.
As we Bee the situation, there is
no way to escape the objectionable
features of this old law, now opera
tive, except by the re establishment
of the altrnative road law, and that
oan be done by a reeommenation of
the grand jury at tho next April
term of our Superior court.

Last week Ool. James H. Tillman,
lieutenant governor of South Oaro-
liua, telegraphed President Roose
velt requesting him to withdraw his
acceptance of an invitation to deliv
er a sword to a major of volunteers
in the late war in Chiba. The presi
dent made no reply, but of course
ho will not deliver the sword, and
may not attend the exposition at
Charleston as had been agreed up
on. Ic is known that tho action of
Lieutenant-Governor TillmaA was in
retaliation for the withdrawal of the
president’s invitation to Senator
Tillman to attend tho White House
dinner given in honor of Prince
Henry. The exposition managers
and thousands of tho South Caroli
na people are justly indignaut. The
major now refuses to accept the
sword.

The wind and rain storm last
Thursday evening and night was the
most extensive and destructive expe
rienced in this country in many
years. On the Southern Railway
between Columbus aud Atlanta, a
passenger train went through a
bridge, killing fqur porsons, the en
gineer, fireman, eqpress messenger
and mail clerk, and injuring a num
ber of passengers. Washouts delay
ed trains on nearly all the roads,
north and south. At Macon several
houses were destroyed by the high
water of the Ocmulgee river, which
rose to within two feet of high wa
ter mark.
In discussing conditions in the
Philippine Islands in connection
with the necessity of industrial de
velopment, congressmen have sug
gested that negroes from this coun
try could be profitably used to build
railroads and do agricultural work.
Gov. Taft of the Philippines replied
that the negroes would not fill the
demand nor accomplish the purpose
as desired, and said: “That would
subordinate the Filipino to tlie ne
gro, whereas the Filipino considers
himself superior to the negro.”
Registration will be required of
all voters in the primary nomina
tions this year, and it has been de
cided by Attorney General Wright
that all who registered la9t year will
be entitled to vote in any primary
this year without again registering.
