His short term in the governor’s of
fice. held by reason of Governor Smith’s
resignation and pending the election of
Mr. Smith's successor, was marked by
no untoward incident that can in any
wise hurl him or adversely affect him
in his present ambition. On the con

if they never suspected it before—that
there is much more than mere "luck"
involved in a career as successful and
yet as devoid of strife as Mr. Slaton’s
has been.
Otto of his big assets seems to be an
ability to tie on friends with cords that
can not be broken. He has, in bis long

self known favorably to thousands of
Georgians- many of them those very

In the Kimball house lobby Colonel
McLendon bolds daily a sort of calm
levee, and keeps in touch with what is
going on.
There are few men In Georgia who
are better posted than he on political
topics, big and little. He Is, perhaps,
the highest authority on the tariff ques

not shared by all Georgians -for lie be

against so-called free trade—but it 1s
not always a safe undertaking to argue
with him, for he has facts and figures
in most bewildering profusion, with
which to silence and confound most un

Colonel McLendon takes an active In

R. M. Walker president of the Build

port of that body, stating the cause of
the bad condition of the bond issue
schools to be the short appropriations
for the buildings by council, would be
submitted to the board of education
and the bond commission as evidence
"hen these bodies meet to determine
who Is responsible.
F. A. Quillian, chairman of the bond
commission, said that, no meeting
would be called until Building Inspector
Hayes had completed his investigation
of all the schools.
Blame Placed on Council.
"The language of our report Is mild,”
said Walker. "The great trouble with
the school buildings was caused by the
penuriousness of council. We want to
reply to the attacks made on the con
tractors and to urge that the city be
more liberal in financing such improve,
ments in the future."
F. A. Quillian declared that when the
report of the defects in the schools was
submilted he would demand that the.
contractors make good their contracts.
Buildings blot Fire-Proof.
Said Building Inspector Hayes:
“It will take considerable work to
repair some nf the buildings I have
Inspected. There is a great deal of
merit in the statement of the Builders'
Exchange that the buildings were con
structed 100 cheaply. They are not
fire-proof and never will be what they
should be.”
