Almost a tragedy resulted from the snow on the East Lake golf course yes terday afternoon, and for a tin.e the clubmen who had taken refuge in the Scotch room were busy organizing relief parties. Hugh Adams, one of the most intrepid golfers of the club, had been iost in the snowstorm far out on the links, and for hours his safety was in doubt. Only the indomitable courage and unerring nose of his two-foot cad-, die brought him safely home to the clubhouse. Mr. Adams had won his way, stroke by stroke, into the farthest north of the links. The day was cold and chill, one of those gray days which make the nineteenth bole a goal worth fighting for. Then a skurry of wind came up. the white flakes began to fall, and Adams and his faithful guide were wrapped in an impenetrable veil of white For hours they wandered, struggling on through the drifts which soon grew ankle deep and penetrated even the : heavy green stockings of the explorer The clubhouse had vanished from view Mr. Adams had f rgotten his compass and was drifting b 'fore the wind. Soon he came on tracks in the snow and fol lowed these. After an hour's struggle onward he came across more tracks. Horros! He had been following his own trail. He was going around in the circle which means death. Then spake the faithful caddie boy; I said ho: "If you’ll follow me, boss, I kin take you in.” Mr. Adams surrendered and followed the boy. When they reached the club house and showers of thanks and small change had been bestowed on the cad die. the anxious watchers asked: “How did you find your way home, hoy?" "Who? Me?” returned the guide. “Shucks! I kin sm< II that yeller licker a mile off, spcshtilly when It’s hot."

A whole lot of Georgia peo p 1« believe that th< president could go much farther and So ver.v much worse than tender a portfolio to for mer Congressman William M. How ard, of the Eighth 1.3 I district, succeeded ®> -nwin two years ago in congress by Samuel J. Tribble. Mr. Howard would make a most ex cellent secretary of the interior, or would fit equally as well into the at torney generalship. Although extremely modest and in clined, in away, to hide his light under a bushel —certainly, he never has sought notoriety—Mr. Howard is known in Washington as one of the very ablest men that ever sat in con gress from the South. Indeed, it is a fact that John Sharp Williams, now a senator from Mississippi, frequently said, when leader of the Democratic minority in the house, that therewwere "more brains In 'Pill' Howard's m-ad” than there were in an body else’s head on the Democratic side. The Missis sippian was an open, frank and enthu siastic admirer of Mr. Howard’s un questioned statesmanship. If Howard, of Georgia, should be made secretary of the inferior, h« would make a secretary pretty much after the fashion of Hoke Smith. And there is not a public official in Wash ington today who, was there when Hoke Smith was secretary of the in terior, who will not tell you that the present junior senator from Georgia was one of the most thorough and effi cient secretaries the interior depart ment Aver had. If Mr. Wilson is looking for a busi nesslike, painstaking, perfectly compe tent and not over-sensational secretary of the interior, he can find him in Wil liam M. Howard, of Georgia. No mis take about that. He is full size for the. Job. James D. Price, commissioner of ag riculture-elect, who recently petitioned unsuccessfully the governor to commis sion him to the ‘‘unexpired term of Thomas G. Hudson.” now held by J. J. Conner under executive appointment, for which office he received a number of votes in the popular state election, de clares that he will take no further steps to secure the office, in the face of the governor’s refusal to commission him. Mr. Prlrce says: “There has been a good deal said as to what course I would pursue in case the governor refused to commission me at present, and I have received num bers of letters from all over the state and many inquiris in person as to what course I would pursue in case he did refuse. “For the benefit of the public, as well as many inquiring friends, I take this mode of saying that as the governor seems to be positive in the position that he lias taken, I do not care to car ry the matter any further or to go into court with it, but shall accept the gov ernor's decision as being final and w’ill AW WITH CATARRH A FILTHY DISEASE A Safe Old-Fashioned Rem edy Quickly Relieves All Distressing Symptoms.

Colonel Robson, who knows more people in Georg a than anybody, espe cially those of a political turn of mind, went to New York on November I for the express purpose of being in “the biggest town in the country” when the Wilson and Marshall triumph was re? corded, as lie confidently expected it to be. The victory was so overwhelming and so conclusive that it required exactly 23 da v s after election for Colonel Rob son to finish his celebrating. The Mil ledgevilleite says everybody in New York is glad the Democrats won out. and an unprecedented rush for the pie counter Is anticipated in all quarters. The Floyd county grand jury, which adjourned Thursday, has requested the county's representatives in the next legislature to introduce a bill forbidding absolutely the sale of pistols In Floyd county. It was pointed out by the grand jury that crime is on the increase in the county, that the prohibition law Is vio lated constantly and flagrantly and tljat many citizens “tote" pistols with Im punity and in no fear of the law or the authorities. The grand jury says it found many instances of violation of the prohibition law that should have been returned sot prosecution, but that It frequently was utterly impossible to bring a true bill legally, because of the reluctance of manj witnesses to testify to facts the grand Jury felt morally sure existed. The grand jury's returns have set many Floyd county people to thinking, for the superior court of Floyd has been very vigorous in its prosecutions of prohibition law violators of late. In all probability, another law will be introduced in the next legislature along the line of the late Tippins bill -but not by Mr. Tippins, as he isn't coming back—and in all further prob ability, it will not pass. lnde«d. It is doubtful whether it will be possible to effect any additional pro hibition legislation tn Georgia for some time to come, as the average legislator who will discuss the matter at all is frankly opposed to opening the ques tion again for any purpose whatever. There is one member of the forth coming house, however, who already has announced his intention of offering a bill modeled after the Tippins measure, and he will make a vigorous fight to pass it. A new residence suburb has been opened in the pretty little city of Hart -1 well, in Hart county, and the widest, straightest. ami most important street in it has been named “Slaton avenue.” In honor of Georgia's governor-elect. And. as Bismark Moore would say, that beats having a flve-cent cigar named after you, anyway! SEABOARD ANNOUNCES LOW RATES TO WASHINGTON.
