latter st ige.- ol tie v, icon tight tn Bal
timore, Mr. Hardwick's suggestions and
udvii -- .ver-- invited most cordially by
Wilson’; campaign managers, and gen
erally acted upon.
During the campaign against Roose
velt and Taft. Mr. Hardwick is said to
have kept in clos- touch with Mr. Wil
son. at the Matter's request, and the
president-elect is reported to make no
bones of admitting that he looks upon
th-- young Georgia congressman as one
of tix shrewdest political atragetlsts in
- ongri- .s, and that he has found Hard
wick's counsel most helpful in more
than one emergency.
In the*-- circumstanced, the idea Is
growing that Mr. Hardwick is to have
much to do with the distribution of
tin- Georgia federal patronage, and that
his Influence will be by- no means lim
ited to th- affairs of bis own imme
diate congressional district.
It is curious, and significant, how
relatively small things sometimes im
press themselves upon the public mind,"
said a well-known Georgia legislator,
in Atlanta, today, “but I have just re
turned from a trip through rural south
Georgia, and I have hoard more com
ment about Governor Brown refusing
to issue a warrant for his own salary, in
order that the school teachers of the
state might get as much of their sal
aries as possible before Christmas, than
I ever heard. I think, of any other in
cident comparing in any wise with it.
“You know, the fact that the school
teachers are far behind in their hard
earned salaries Is a genuine grievance
throughout much of the rural section
of tin state. And politically, the teach,
ers have not heretofore been especial
ly strong for Governor Brown —as a
matter of fact, in his first and second
campaigns, they’ were lined up almost
solidly against him.
“There Is evident appreciation, how
ever. evi n If the amount involved is
small, that the governor withheld his
own warrant in favor of himself for
more than five months, because he was
anxious to give the school teachers ev
ery penny lie could. The school teach
ers were not looking for sympathy es
pecially from ‘Little Joe,’ and that Is
why they appreciate it all the more that
his sympathy- was manifested, any
way.
“It is Ihe little things that count
heaviest sometimes. And the act of
Joseph M. Brown, on behalf of the
school teachers, leaked out through no
design of his, lias touched them deeply.
If ever again lie runs for office he will
find the school teachers of Georgia
occupying a different attitude toward
him, I am sure!”

hi family in Washington, where re
cently he purchased a handsome new
residence.
The senator is deeply interested in
several bills to be acted upon during
the i -maindei of the present congress
and as :hat is only u matter of tv. o
months, he is leaving nothing undone
that may facilitate their progress. Be
side! these things, moreover, the sena
tor is busying hlnitelf with matters to
come before the new congress.
I’oi these reasons, he decided tha lie
could hot spare the time to visit'Geor
j gia now.
John -.1. Slaton, governor-elect, ms
been overwhelmed with messages of
holiday cheer of late, not only from all
parts of Georgia, but from all over the
j nation.
Personally, the govenior-to-be is im
mensely popular. He bus a wide ac
quaintance in his native state, birt his
acquaintance is by no means limited
to Georgia. Wherever be govs, he makes
friends readily—particularly when he
takes Mrs. Hlaton with him. which gen
erally lie does!
He believes his udininistiatlon will be
a success, If good wishes. ideiy and
graciously expressed, can make it so.
While it is, no doubt, gratifying and
most pleasant to hear himself talked
about as a cabinet possibility under
President Wilson, it is said to be a
fact that Representative Stovall, of
Chatham, does not aspire to honors of I
that persuasion at all. but much more
seriously Inclines to the diplomatic
service of the United States.
Indeed, it Is reported that Mr. Stovall
has made known to Mr. Wilson that if
honors are to be pushed Stovailward,
Stovall would rather they be in the
form of an acceptable foreign mission,
rather than something of a domestic
character.
If that really is Mr. Stovall's desire —
and it may be taken as pretty well set
tled that it Is—he will get what he
wants.
He and Mr. Wilson are old friends—
firm friend — of the long ago. and Sto
vall can come mighty near having
whatever he wants under the next ad
ministration.
Governor Brown never blots his sig
nature when it is attached to a com
mission of office.
The governor has a notion that most
people commissioned to office, particu
larly as some commissions are more or
less gorgeous affairs in Georgia, desire
to keep the commission. Frequently,
they are framed, and remain in a fam
ily for years. The governor, therefore,
refrain from blotting his signature.
Such evidence of authority- in office
as an unblotted signature lasts much
longer and shows with more brilliancy
than one blotted.
, The governor, as is his custom, ap
' plies this rule all the way from Justices
of the peace commissions to congres
sional and supreme court parchments.

A Most Important Shoe Sale
Begins Tomorrow, Thursday, at Allen’s
High Grade Boots, Ties and Slippers at Great Reductions
This Is an Important Sale for Three Reasons
Hirst, because, when the season's end approaches, Alien's shoes are treated just like millinerv or
.cloaks and suits. The price is cut so sharply that nothing can be left over: hence, this is a sale in
which profit-making is of secondary importance to getting rid of the shoes.
Secondly, this is an important sale, because we, in most instances, are a full season ahead in
showing the latest novelties in footwear.
Ihe third reason why this is an important sale, is because we are not owned or controlled bv
any manufacturer of shoes. BRANDED OR ( XBRAXDED. who can make us buv crippled shoes, fa<-
