By rea-son of the death of Vice President Sher. | man, the senior I senator from Georgia will pre side over the fu ture deliberations of the senate, as president pro tem pore, for the re mainder of the present congress. He was chosen for that distinguished honor by a com- bination of Democratic votes —he re ceived all the Democratic votes of the senate—and a coterie of Progressives. Senator Bacon is universally esteem ed and very highly respected in the senate as an authority on foreign rela tions. As a matter of fact, he is ad mittedly the foremost authority in the senate on that subject, and the com mittee on foreign relations, of which he long has been a member, is his favorite assignment. In the make-up of the next senate, it is an open secret that Bacon will be permitted to choose his chairmanship. Anything he wishes in that line will be conferred upon him by his colleagues— and the senate always has made its own committee assignments, regardless of the wishes and desires of the presi dent of the senate, who 1« the vice pres ident of the United States. Senator Bacon, it is said, can have a cabinet portfolio, if he desires it, under President Wilson; but those who know the senator do not believe he would exchange his senatorship for a cabinet place—nor for any other place under the presidency, even if opportunity were offered him to do so While Senator Bacon will preside as president pro tempore of the senate, he will thereby lose none of his represen tative capacity. His vote may be re corded whenever he desires it. The vice president is not permitted to vote in the senate, save in the case of a tie. Senator Bacon will enter upon his fourth term,on March 4 next. He is the first and only senator ever given a fourth term by- the stJte of Georgia. Gee whiz and goshallhemloek!! The sweet-tempered dispenser of wisdom byway of this column of up lift never for a minute intended start ing anything in Rome when, on Sat urday, he said there would be only two candidates for the postmastership of Rome under President Wilson, viz: John M. Vandiver and "Jack” Mc- Cartney. It seems that, besides Jack and John. Leonard Todd, Nat Hoyt, and maybe others will throw their hats in the ring, too! Sidelights has been bombarded un mercifully for undertaking to hold down the fight to two—a measly two! —con- testants. The imaginary fact that there were to be but two candidates for this fat job seemed to carry a large and un usual element of news to the story printed Saturday. That was the com pelling cause of the item’s publication, its It were. However, one might have known that was too good to be true! GEORGIA HUNTERS NOW SHOOTING IN FLORIDA THOMASVILLE, GA., Nov. 11.—The season for shooting quail, ducks, etc., opened in Florida on November 1, and although it is still against the law to shoot on the Georgia side of the line, there is nothing to prevent the stepping across to the Florida side and taking a shot at the "little brown beauties." As the line is only about ten miles from Thomasville, sportsmen from here are not put to any hardship in making the trip. Many from here are taking the opportunity to shoot ducks on Lake Miccasukie, where the supply is said to be unusually fine and plentiful this year. CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS TO BUILD CHURCH IN MACON MACON.

"i • *> t I ‘l '' 'RS TMr* ■" highest awards and ntedui*. (AdvLJ By JAMES B. NEVIN. A Georgia editor has been hearing delightful things about the way domes tic affairs will be conducted Inside the white house after March 4 next. He has been reading some mighty fetching words recently uttered by Mrs. Wilson, and particularly is he pleased with these; "We have always had cooks from the South, or those who were Southern-born, and they know how to cook chicken better than any body In the world, the governor thinks. He would rather have chicken Southern style than a for eign-cooked banquet. The govern or’s idea of a fine dinner includes chicken Southern style, rice and candied sweet potatoes, with beans and corn, fruit and a salad. Never do we have a meal without rice." Former Representative J. Lindsay Johnson, one of Georgia's best known editors, evidently spoke right from the heart when, the day after the big vic tory, he exclaimed editorially, “Hur rah for Ellie Lou Axson Wilson!" The Hon. "Bart" Cox, of Gilmer county, who played a star part in the Morris-Patterson judicial hearing be fore the state Democratic committee in Atlanta a few weeks ago, and whose grand, gloomy and peculiar political gy rations were held in large measure re sponsible for the big Morris near-vic tory in Gilmer, won out heavily over his rivals In old Gilmer a few days ago, when he and his entire following swept the county for the local offices. The Hon. “Bart," who for a good many years has been clerk of the su perior court of Gilmer, has just been elected ordinary, and all the way down the line the county plum tree was shak en successfully for the Coxites. The so-called “boss of Gilmer" still is on the job in his vicinity, it would seem—and It looks as If he may be there to stay put indefinitely, more over. Even those who dissent are admit ting the logic and authoritativeness of Chairman Murphey Candler’s opinion, handed down as part of the record in the mileage "pulling” decision recently rendered by the railroad commission. Mr. Candler is a very studious man, and he went deeply into the subject in hand, because he was particularly anx ious to go upon the record clearly, and with fairness to all parties to the hear ing. it is interesting, too, that the deci sion leaves Mr. Candler and Governor Brown on common ground with respect to the disposition of the traveling men's petition, for Mr. Candler was appointed to the railroad commission by Govern or Brown's political opponent for so many years, Hon, Hoke Smith. Mr. Candler’s attitude is being cited by his friends, however, a.s convincing evidence of ills impartiality and rigid non-partisanship in matters coming be fore the board. • It maj' be stated upon most excellent authority that Judge Newt Morris is to be "taken care of" under the adminis tration of President Woodrow Wilson. Those very close to Mr. Wilson are said to have interested themselves in Judge Morris to such an extent that the former Judge of the Blue Ridge is to have something of a particularly satisfactory sort —Indeed, it Is said that lie is to have the position now held by former Congressman Carter Tate (the district attorneyship for north Geor gia). in which event it Is probable that Hon. Hooper Alexander, who first was slated for this job, will be switched to "something equally as good.” That Morris surely is to “be taken care of.” however, may be accepted as a fact—that much has been decided upon Every woman'i heart responds to the charm and sweetness of a baby's voice, because nature intended her for motherhood.
