[SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
. By JAMES B. NEVIN.
However people may differ with re
spect to the statesmanlike quallflca-
I tions of the present legislature, folks in
Atlanta will bid it good-bye today,
unanimous in their ojAnlon that it is
composed, in the main, of a lot of
mighty good fellows.
It may not run extraordinarily to
high brows, and it max not have done
all those things It ought to have done
not to mention the things it may have
done that It ought not to have done—
but from the purely personal point of
view, the present general assembly Is
likable and all right!
Up one side and down thA other, the
present house and senate measure up
to acceptable form. There are a few
Mi-s Napcl'-s on the rolls, and here and
there a pretty cheap sort of politician,
but in the average the acts of the legis
lature that adjourns sine die today
have b en based upon patriotism and a
marked conception of duty and state
pride.
It is customary to "knock” the legis
lature all legislatures. They have
been, from time immemorial, the butt
of everybody's ridicule and the easy
mark of the most Inconsequential critic.
And yet the legislature—the present
legislature, no Jess than any—ls truly
representative of the people of the
state. It comes directly from them,
and k- elected, as a rule, without undue
or sinister Influence fr<|m any quarter.
Tlie gentleman from Wayback may
not meet the Ideas or touch the ideals
of the gentleman from Bigtown, but
there are quite as many people whs
live in Wayback. by and large, as there
are who live in Blglown—and, in the
righteous and just view of things, "a
man's a man for a’ that!"
Moreover, the man who thinks that
the lilies of the nation have any cor
ner on the brains thereof has another
think coming—which would be a flat
and stale platitude were it not, never
theless, an everlasting and eternal
truth!
In its final analysis, the legislature
generally does the things -the people
commission it to do.
Mr Converse, of Lowndes, is one of
the strong men of the present house,
and it will be rated generally pleasant
news thdt he likely will be a member
of the next senate.
Mr. Converse's hobby Is education
and educational affairs. He is a par
ticularly Intelligent man, and a dose
student. He has made the matter of
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS.
education a study, and has dedicated
the besft there is in him to the work of
advancing that cause.
The Georgia Normal and Industrial
i school in Valdosta has no better or
■ more uncompromising friend than Con
verse. He participated generously in
the establishment of the School—for lie
Is a man of considerable means—and
It is his pet of all ptate institutions to
day. He loves to come to the legisla
ture, If for no other reason than to see
that the normal school gets all that is
coming its way.
He is very regular In his attendance
upon the sessions of the house, fre
quently participates briefly in debate,
and pursues a safe and sane course in
voting
Full and complete credit is due the
president of the senate, John M. Sla
ton. who is the senator from the At
lanta district, for the quick passage
through the senate of the Atlanta cha -
fer amendments bill.
The bill reached the senate very late
in the session, after a more or less
stormy career in the house, and there
was some question there re
mained time sufficient to pass It along
to the governor for his signature.
Mr. Slaton, in his capacity of senator
from the Fifth district, got right in be
hind the bill, had it reported promptly
from the committee on corporations,
passed to a second reading in the house
Monday, and got it. up for a third read
ing and passage Tuesday—and then
had It transmitted immediately to the
house, where the senate amendments
Immediately were concurred In!
The bill now awaits the governor's
signature, which will be attached
promptly.
Without Mr. Slaton's cordial, prompt
and efficient co-operation the Atlanta
charter amendments unquestionably
would have failed of passage.
Speaker John N. Holder knows how
to play the gape as neatly as any one.
His congressional adversary, Thomas
M. Bell, of the Ninth, wired Mr. Holder
Tuesday Inviting him to a Joint debate
in Jackson county. Mr. Holder's home,
and In Hall county, Mr, Bell’s home.
Mr. Holder wrote back that he would
have to decline to fall for that sort of
thing He said that he had made no
Speeches in Hall county, the home of
Mr Bell, and would make none—that
he thought courtesy demanded that he
keep away from Bell’s home base He
added, moreover, that he didn’t care to
debate in Jackson county, his home, as
he already had things his way there,
and a joint debate would not be at all
illuminating or helpful to anybody, as
he saw things.
Mr. Holder, however, furnished Mr.
Bell a full list of the Holder speaking
appointments at points outside of Hall
and Jackson, and Invited both Mr. Bell
and Mr. Charters to "Joint debate" with
him at any or all of them, if either
wished.
Mr. Bell has not replied to Mr. Hol
der's letter, so far.
KANSAS HARD HIT BY
HOPPERS; REPETITION
1874 PLAGUE FEARED
LARNED. KANS.. Aug. 14.-—Accord
ing to Francis B. Milliken, state ento
mologist, Kansas Is suffering this year
from the worst invasion of grasshop
pers she has experienced since the cel
ebrated invasion of 1874, and a repe
tition of that plague year is feared.
The Milliken report says the dry
weather which the state has experienc
ed during the past few years has
brought about conditions favorable to
the present invasion.
Along river valleys the farmers are
able to keep the grasshoppers killed off
by free and frequent use of paris green
and arsenic compounds, but the state
entomologist has had little success com
bating the insects on the dry uplands.
The center of the attack seems to be
the western part of the state.

his courtship of Rachael than Alexan

the hand of the daughter. Now, with
