SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
Georgians seem determined to get some
of their statesmen mixed this year, de
spite the most strenuous endeavor of those
who would have it otherwise.
No sooner are the friends of Toms Fel
der and Felder through with the untan
gling of them than the friends of .John
Holder and Horace Holden find it neces
sary to warn the public that they are not
one and the same person.
A few weeks back Judge Horace Holden
announced for congress against Thomas
W. Hardwick. After remaining in the
race a little while. Judge Holden with
drew, and left the field to the present con
gressman from the Tenth.
John N. Holder, the speaker of the
house, is. and has been for several
months, a candidate for congress in the
Ninth, against William A. Charters and
probably Thomas M. Bell, the Incumbent.
Holder has no thought whatever of re
tiring from the race. On the contrary,
he expects to win bls fight, and believes
his fences to be in most excellent condi
tion.
When Judge Holden withdrew from the
race in lhe Tenth, however, a lot of peo
ple got it Into their heads that it was
John Holder in the Ninth who had quit
the race there, and the result has been
no end of confusion and misunderstanding
in that vicinity.
The people of Georgia, particularly those
of the Ninth and Tenth districts, should
bear in mind that Speaker John N. Hol
der, candidate for congress, and Judge
Horace N. Holden, former candidate for
congress, are distinctly two persons.
Governor Cole Blease has been com
pared to Abraham Lincoln. It Is only
fair to say, however, that Blease and
not Tom Felder suggested the alleged
likeness.
Miss Kate Edwards' splendid oil por
trait of the late I’nited States Senator
Alexander Stephens Clay, of Georgia, was
unveiled with appropriately simple cere
mony in the state capltol yesterday after
noon.
The greater number of persons who see
It In the future will think more of "Steve”
Clay, the man, perhaps, than of Senator
Clay, the statesman, for it was as a man
that the senator was widely beloved and
respected in Georgia ‘
Combined with tremendous energy and
willingness to serve his people, Senator
Clay was possessed of much sweetness of
character and gentleness of disposition.
In the latter years of his life, when it
was all too painfully clear to his friends
that the finish of his distinguished career
was near at hand, they drew very close
to him. and many of them treasure now
numerous tender recollections of those
days when for Mr. Clay life’s shadows
were stretching far. far Into the east.

gressman from the district will be

Macon, Schley, Webster, Stewart, Tay
lor. Dooly, Sumter, Turner, Terrell,

UNIVERSITY SCHOOL FOR BOYS
STONE MOUNTAIN, GA.
IctML
UNIVERSITY SCHOOL FOR BOYS is a regular school where boys are taught, and not just
compelled to attend classes. A school fashioned after the old style system of tutoring where in
dividual instruction is given each student: where the finer attributes of a gentleman, not taught
by looks, are inculcated; where a sound, healthy body is developed coincident with a broad,
quick mind.
A school where boys are transformed into men equipped, mentally and physically to take up
Life’s duties or given a firm foundation on which to build their education in the higher institu
tions of learning. This is done by limiting the students to 96; one instructor for every ten boys.
More than Twenty percent, of the student body, each year, are brothers of former students.

By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Senator Clay and Senator Bacon, very
different men in many ways, were de
voted friends all the time. So many sen
ators from the Same state do not speak,
or scarcely speak, as they pass by, that
the warm friendship of these two Geor
gians was frequently a topic of approving
comment in Washington. No man was
closer or more solicitous of Mr. Clay’s
welfare toward the close of bls life than
was Senator Bacon.
It was once said in Washington that
the only real difference between Clay and
Bacon was that Bacon was a I’nited
States senator and Clay a senator from
Georgia.
And they made a great team, at that!
"They say” there Is a growing cold
ness between Hooper Alexander and
Hoke Smith. Still, the wish may be
father to the thought.
Mr. Adams, of Hall, the world's cham
pion heavyweight mover of the previous
question, believes in expediting business
in the house.
He not only Is right there when the
previous question Is clearly in order, but
he proposes to have the house get on the
Job earlier in the day than ft has been
accustomed to thus far this session.
Mr. Adams has a resolution now pend
ing before the committee on rules provid
ing that the house Shall meet at 9 a. m.,
Instead of 10, and he expects to follow this
immediately with another providing for
afternoon sessions.
"The calendar is very heavy,” said Mr.
Adams today, "and it seems to me we
should clear it up; and the way to clear
it up entirely is to begin work on the
home stretch early. The house can easily
add another hour to the morning session,
and preferably on the front end. I think
every measure pending should have con
sideration, unless the member behind it
actually wishes it not to come to a vote.”
If Representative Alexander and
Representative Hall should form a
conspiracy of silence, one might al
most hear a pin drop in the house
of representatives now and then.
Former Representsive G. Berry Hol
der, of Floyd, was an onlooker In this
Georgia Vienna today.
Mr. Holder is being prominently men
tioned as a probable candidate for the
house from Floyd in the August primary,
and it is more than likely that He will
run.
He Is widely experienced in legislative
affairs, and has always enjoyed the repu
tation of being a safe, sane and level
headed representative.
If he runs, there is little doubt that he
will be returned to the next house.
BLECKLEY COUNTY IS
ON THE MAP; BARROW
BOOSTERS DEFEATED
This Ist a happy day for the friends
of Bleckley county-that-is-to-be. but
it Is a melancholy one for the grand
young county of Barrow that isn't-to
be.
The senate committee, by a vote of
8 to 1, sent Bleckley county on its
primrose path rejoicing. The house
committee, by a vote of 8 to 14, sent
Barrow county into the outer darkness
and gloom of despair.
Bleckley is to come from a large slice
off the north end of Pulaski. Its county
seat will be Cochran, and it lylll begin
life under the most favorable and prom
ising auspices.
Bartow waS to have come from sec
tions of Gwinnett, Walton and Jackson
and It had one of the finest lobbies ever
assembled in Atlanta to plead a cause.
But politics—or something—got in the
way of Barrow, and It has been indefi
nitely postponed.

SMITH TO FORCE
MONEGNOUIRY
Georgia Senator Comes to Aid
of House and Will Make
Penrose Act.
WASHINGTON, July 24.—The sen
ate committee on finance is to be at
tacked by Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, and other Democrats who are
coming to the aid of the house commit
tee charged with the duty of investi
gating the "Money Trust.”
The refusal of the national banks to
report to this committee or to submit
their books to its inspection threat
ened this inquiry, so the house passed
a bill giving the committee as full in
quisitorial powers as are lodged in the
office of the comptroller of the cur
rency.
Until the senate agrees to this bill
the hands of the house committee are
practically tied so far as the national
banks are concerned. The bill was
passed in the house May 18, sent to the
senate and referred to the finance com
mittee, by which it was tucked away
in a pigeon hole.
Entreaties, cajoiing and threats have
been without, effect on Chairman Pen
rose, who refuses to give the measure
consideration.
Senator Hoke Smith, who cares little
for the musty traditions of the senate,
has discovered a method by which, un
der the protection of the parliamentary
rules of the senate, he may move to
discharge the finance committee from
the further consideration of this bill.
Tliis motion is revolutionary and has
rarely been used in the senate.
The Georgia senator has entered
such a motion and will make a deter
mined fight to put it on its passage. It
is believed enough Progressive Repub
licans will vote with the Democrats to
put it through and drag the bill from
the committee. If that is done the in
vestigation of the "Money Trust” wii!
proceed.
