THE EFFECT.
The resnlts of the primary on last
Thursday were in many ways most
- remarkable. This was supposed to
be the off year so far as the Govern
or was concerned and the victory
gained in the face of the long =s.
tablished precedent ouly speaks thg
sentiments of the masses.
~ Precedent stood out in bold de ‘
fiance and said that Governor Smith
should have another term without
opposition, and had it not been for
this Mr. Brown’s majority in all
probubility would have been much
lurger, but it is large enough to be
a safe one, and too we think the ef
fect wid be both beneficial and last
ing. We take it that Georgia re
ceived one of the best advertise
ments last Thursday that she has
had in years, if ever before. The
effect will be far-reaching.
Extreme agitation as we have said
before. has brought on hard times.
Georgia (one of the leaders) has
paused and weighed the matter are
* fully, and has reversed the time-hon
ored practice of giving the Govern
or a second tetm under such op-.
pression, and in so doing ske says
to idle capital, “Come within our
gates and we will give you fair treat
ment It will eventually come, and
~ When 1t does it will stay, and the
~ grand old state will bloom as never

' ’,’knferred’ ujon we in tendering me

elected in the general election I
shall enter upon the discharge of
the duties of said office with a full
realization of the responsibilities

word onor that I shail~use the
utmost eudeavors to sy perform, the
work encumbsred upon said office’
* that I may mevit the honor andj
trust confided in me by the people
in electing me to said office.
Realizing from pust experience in
the tax work that there are no two
offices in the county of more im
portance in relation to the financial
progress of the country than those
of Tax Assessor and Collector, as
the books of these officers in the
different counties of the state furnish
the basis of the revenue of the state
and counties and arc very essential
to the support and maintenance of
the Government, P :
With this knowledge of these facts
and with the co-operation of the
lax Assessor, the Commissioners
and the Grand Juries of the county
I shall try to peirform the duties re
quired by law, ever keeping in mind
the relation of this work to the
progress and growth of our county,
Again thanking the people for
tendering me the nominawins to

A NOVEL SCHEME,
Grubb—l hear your last novel
has already appeared in Its sixth
edition. How did you manage 10
become so phenominally popular?
Scrubbs—Very simple. I put a
¢¢personal” in the “papers saying
that T was looking for a wife who is
something I'ke the heroine of my
novel. Within two days the first
edition was sold out.—Tit-Bits.
A Georgian paid $1 for a quart
bottle of dark brown fluid a sugges
tive rich dark brown—which was
delivered to him with a wink, for
it was conspicuously labeled “Cold
“tea” The purchaser drew the cork
hastily took a large swallow .and yell
ed for a doctor. Investigation prov
ed that the label was true. Wasn’ti
that shocking? |
AS THE RESULT IS
SEEN OUTSIDE OF
THE STATE.,.
Comiments on the Defeat of Smith and
the Election of Brown.
HARD TIMES FOR THE AMATEURS. 1
From the New York Sun,!
The saloon keeper running for of
fice on the prohibition
ticket, the furtive tippler
asking for the votes of the total ab
stainers, and the reformer whose
heart 1s bursting to reform every
body but himself, may achieve a
prodigious success 1f he happens to
'ride upon a wave of public hysteria, 1
If he himself makes a wave, so
’much the better for him., In tha'l
case the people will recognize in'
him a heaven boin genius and will |
accluim his progress from one stagei
of dishonor to another as if he were
a deity or a debs. But if it be not
a wave of his own making it must
presently land him in the shaliows
of ridicule, disavowed as a quack
and a humbug.
Mr. Hoke Smith, of Georgia hac
a mighty triumphant ride on Mr.
Roosevelt’s wave, and it seemed, for
a time, as if there were not ascribable
limits to his triumphant fight. Hei
clearly identified himself with every
business disaster in his state, even
seemed to take upon his own mighty
shoulders some of Mr. Roosevelt’s
responsibility for national disaster‘
and wreckage and presented every
aspect of unassaiiable and enduring!
success, : : l\
Ihe people of Geourgia are- t;t)d'e-}
dependable and of a low selfishness
They didn't see the fun of a_game
hey saw Hoke’s effulgence giow
hotter and hotter as the accursed
corporations fell and as thousands
upon thousands of workmen enjoy
ed their compulsory vacations.
They failed,"however, to appreciate :
the philosophy that gave theml
bankruptey and miser; at the same
time that it forbade them the solacc{
of the bottle. In short they voted
the who'e show a fake and a hum—’
bug and they vociferously electerl
the sublime Hoke to private life. ‘
A gentlemman named Joe Brown
whose sole claim to distinction is his
conviction that there is nothing for
for Georgia in the bankruptcy of
her railroads, will hereafter preside
over the destinies of the Cracker state
Joe Brown is opposed to the incula
tion of the Christiapr virtues by writ,
capias and distraint. He holds that
more people are persuaded than
compelled to be good, and is doubt
ful of the éincerity of avenging an
gels with an appetite for office.
Governors Glenn of North Caro
lina and Comer of Alabama should
be profoundly concerned with the
Georgia episode. Itls about time
that they sent for the reporters and
imparted to the public their views'
about big game on the Upper Ugan
da,
SANITY IN EHE SOUTH,
Baltimore American.
It s pleasant to see the tendency
in the Southern states to sheer avay
from political brainstorms and take
something for the nerves. Georgia
has begun to recover from a violent
spree of radicalism thatthreatened to
nullify all the splendid industrial and
commercial enterprise which has
added tens of millions of dollars to
the general wealth. Other states
are seeing that the demagogues are
not the men to follow if the inhabi
tants waut investment, settlers, new
factories, mote railroads and pro
gres. : ‘
{n the south is the richness of a
dozen empires. Her states have
opportunities for ten times their
present populations, But they will i
never realize their destinies until
they put more seuse and sanity into
their politics. We hope that Geor
gia’s good example will be a lesson |
to all of them. [

~ THE SHADOW.
i One of the most pathetic spectac
es in American life is that of the
taded, outgrown wife standing help
gless in the shadow of her husband’s
rosperity asd power, having saeri
ced her youth, beauty, ard ambi,
ion—nearly cverything that the
minine mind holds dear—to enable
n indifferent, selfish, brutish hus
and to get a start in the world.
- It does not matter if she burned
up much of her attractivness over
le cooking stove; that she lost
ynore of it at the Waélx.t;vl), and in
scrubbing and cleaniug, and in rear
ing and caring for their children
pduting the slavery of her early mat
i}ifld'llfc, in her unselfish effort to
help him get on in the world. It
!does not matter how niuch she suft
{ered during those terrible years of
poverty and privation; just as soon
as the selfish husband begins to get
i prosperous, finds that ne is getting
on in the, feels his power, he often
| t)egins to be ashamed of the woman
{Who has sacrificed everything to
{make my success possible. .
¢ It does not matter that the wife
sacrificed her own opportunity for a
career, that she gave up her most
cherished ambition in order to make
aladlder for her husband to ascend
by, When he has once gotien to
flfg wants to makc\ a show in the‘i

politician, he often kicks the laddger

standing in his shadow; is not at
tractive enough for him now that
he has gotten up in the wotld.
‘Many American wives leok with
horgar upon, the increasing: fortunes
'bf their husbands, which their sacris
fices have helped to accumulate,
simply because they fear that theis
stooped forms, gray hairs, calioused
hands, and the loss of the comeli
‘ness which slipped from them while
they were helping their husbands to
!gcl a start, are likely to depnive
them of the very paradise of home
and comforts which they have
dreamed from their wedding day.
They know that their hard work and
sacrifices and lovg hours and suf
ferings in bringing up a tamily are
to ruin their prospects and that
they may even drive them out of
the Eden of their dreams,—O. 8,
