V.S. GOVERNMENT-INSPECTION
WITH THE LAWMAKERS
For the three remaining days of this
week the senate attendance will be
slim. The senate committee on the
state sanitarium, of which Senator Tay
lor is chairman, joined .the house com
mittee Thursday In the annual visit
to the sanitarium In Mllledgevllle. The
senate committee Is-composed of sev
enteen members.
Friday morning the senate commit
tee on the Academy for the Blind will
go to Macon to Inspect that Institution.
Senator Sykes Is chairman of this com
mittee, which consists of seven mem
bers. On Saturday morning the sen
ate committee oh the Western ahd At
lantic railroad will go to Chattanooga.
The house committee made the trip
last Saturday, but the senate commit
tee did not Join the party officially.
Senator Frank Gorily wants to extend
the terms of office for governor, state
house officials and members of the gen
eral assembly frdm two to four years.
A bill of a similar naturo has been In
troduced In every legislature for sev
eral years past, but without securing
sny serious consideration.
Under the bill to be Introduced By
Senator Gordy the governor will be
Inellglblo for a second term, though
elate house officials may stand for rc-
electlon as often as they like.
Governor Hoke Smith on Wednesday
signed the commission of Augustus O.
Bacon, of Macon, to bo United States
senator from Georgia for six years,
from March 4, 1907. Senator Bacon
was re-elected by the general assembly
a short time ago.
Fifty-nine counties have made tax

a combined loss over last year of >244,-
755. The net Increase for the flfty-
alne counties Is >10,415,988.

Ject the elimination of some thousands
of useless and predatory canines In
Georgia.
A card from a Columbus man came
to Senator Gordy a day or so ago. It
read:
"Many negroes tn our community
have dogs that suck our eggs. Put 'em
out of business/' (Doubtless referring
to '.he egg-loving curs.)
Some visitors to the capttol not long
since stopped one of the colored porters
and said:
"Won't you please direct us to the
floor on which wo can find your mu
seum of curiosities?”
"Yes’m, yes'm," was the reply, “de
sec'nd tin'. But, lady, dey ain’t heah
torday. Dey's qjilt twill nex' week/'
Alfred Herrington of Swalnsboro,
poet, journalist, politician and solicitor
general, was at the capttol a few daye
ago reminiscing. When Solicitor Her
rington Is not prosecuting wiregrass
law-breakers, he Is turning out mighty
good poetry. His friends say that he
can speak all day In blank verse on any
given subject.
Mr. Herrington told of some of the
stormy days In the First congressional
district In '92. He was then a Cleve
land elector for the district. That was
also the palmy days of Populism. One
day Mr. Herrington attended a meeting
where the speaker was an old-JIme
political foe. ft was a rampant Popu
list meeting. The Swalnsboro man sat
In the rear and llatened to the orator
of the occasion. Presently he was
startled by the personal remarks of the
orator.
"Gentlemen,” he shouted, "this Is the
day when the 'old corrupt party In lead
ership so long Is about to go down In
defeat. Why. look who the Democrats
have put up to lead you to the slaughter
In this district! I see him present—the
man who went down to Darien, sold
his granddaddy’s log raft for >200 and
■pent every rent of It on a spree!
"But that ain’t the worst of It," he
bellowed. "Strapped and a-feared to
S o home, he blncked his face and went
own to Butler’s Island, preached to
the niggers, converted 400 of ’em.and
baptised the whole crowd In one day at
50 cents a head I”
"Well continued Mr. Herrington to
his audience, "there wasn't a word of
truth In It, of course, but It caught that
crowd, and they yelled for the annihi
lation of the Democratic party and Alf
Herrington. A few friends with me
urged me to defend myself, but frankly

Former Governor of Penn
sylvania May Have To
Explain His Inaction.
Beach Haven, N. J„ Aug. 1.—Former
Governor Pennypocker, of Pennsylva
nia Is likely to be called to account for
not stopping some of the graft on the
state capttol at Harrisburg. It Is said
that the members of the capttol Inves
tigating commission are prepared to go

of every man who In any way profited
rally from the capitol contracts.
Is said ttjat the members of the
commission are of the opinion that
Governor Fennypacker, In his testi
mony before them, showed that he had
reason to be auspicious of the manner
in which the state's money was being
squandered, and yet did nothing to atop
the "graft." It is now proposed, it Is
said, to make him explain to a court
why he remained Inactive.
An expert testliled yesterday that
Pennsylvania had been mulcted out of
>1,600,000 on a >2,000,000 furniture con
