"This is shown by the fact j hat nearly all of the funds given in At. llama have been subscribed by persons lot limited means and in small amounts.

Liberal sain pie free SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS By JAMES B. NEVIN. The entry of Seaborn Wright, of Floyd, f into the gubernatorial contest, as backer I and champion of Hooper Alexander, un- ' doubtedly is a circumstance of more than I passing importance. It will be taken to mean, despite pious protests to the contrary, that the pro-| hibition question is to be injected into the forthcoming fight, and that it is to be urgc<l bj the two men of all men in Geor gia most abundantlx qualified to urge It. Mr. Alexander's recent connection with' the Tippjfts bill tight and the executive i veto of that measure is a matter of such i recent histors that ho will step from one ; tight right into the other, as naturally! as if the one were framed to dovetail into the other which is exactly how 11 may have boon framed. Mr. W right is identified with no move- i merit so (doseiy or so unvomp’ omisingly j as with the cause of prohibition. He has ma<le ii a part of his political J I religion for 30-odd years he began it • when he first camo to the legislature, be- 1 lore he was 22 years of age. atm he has j been at it ever since. Than Seaborn \Vright, of Floyd, there broatl.es no more eloquent prohibitionist an.vwi.rre. No speak* r !:i < w bett<‘r than I t. h \\ right how to “shell the woods” fmm the prohibition mat Tj.i i i T'he betting may be good that Alex ander and \\ right will not come under the wire winners on \ugust Li. but it s a cinch of the load-pipe persuasion that they will make :t>inebo<:> it up and take notice in the meantime. Every little while somebody vocif erously. pugnaciously am* eloquently petitions the housi 10 sit down on ‘ Bob” Hardeman’s rules committee, and regularly the house d< clines by a practically unanimous volt not to do it! A terrible thing has happened to Mr W’ohlwender. of Musiegi a great and crushing humiliation has come' upon him! A misguided and misinformed contem porary ; well may one tremble for it re cently wrote np Mr. Wohlvvender as a prohibit ionisi. Mr. W’ohlwender has not trusted him self yet to arise to a question of personal privilege in the house and demand a re traction of those cruel words, but he is contemplating it seriously. One may. with a certain amount of im munity. call Air W'ohlw<md< 1 a reaction ary, a bull moose, or a mugwump, but he draws the line strongly and uncompro misingly at being called g prohibitionist! ID' recently informed the house, in lan guage that could be mistaken by nobody, that he is an “old-fashioned, dyed-in the-wool, rock-ribbed, unterrified, copper riveted anti-prohibitionist from away up the creek, where the further up you g" the more ‘anti’ they get!” "Why,” said Mr. W’ohlwender, ”1 could not even be elected dog catcher in my vi cinity. if the idea spread abroad that I had so far forgotten my raising as to 1 urn prohibitionist!” IWA - WJ Bl Bml The Kind You Have Always Bout iit has borne the signa ture of Chits. 11.

The annual Slaton barbecue is as much a fixture in things legislative as is John Roifeuillet or Charlie Northen.

'There was much mumbling, and grum bling. and some weeping, and wailing, and a trifle of gnashing of teeth over the though! that the barbecue was to be i’.- •.•(■<! up this year or might be passed up!
