GEORGIA POLITICS v_ JAMIS B- KEVIN ti e Georgian now would arable injury to the. He is the one members Colonel Charles Jackson Shipp, who | ran for Railroad (’ommlssloner In the last State primaries, and didn’t get elected. e\ Idently has not become a pessimist because of that. On the contrary. Colonel Shipp, forsaking the vexing and fretting thoughts of politics and politicians, of late has turned his attention and bis talents to the sweeter and may hap simpler things of life, and where once he thundered political opinions and conclusions from the stump, now be sings vociferously of the festive persimmon and the rare delights of autumn merging serenely into win ter! In the current issue of The Cor- dele Rambler. Mr. Shipp's splendid and always interesting little news paper, that gentleman poetically ob serves : “This is persimmon season in Georgia. If the traveler along a November road hears a soft thud, iso gentle indeed as to be scarcely audible, he has only to look on either side, locate the gaunt, bare limbs to which still cling like huge drops of amber the yet unripe persimmons. Then gayly scaling the fence let him pick up the luscious mouthful that has fallen; for that Is the test of the ripe persimmon—it never falls until it is primed for consumption. “Many detractors of the per simmon don’t know this. If they did, instead of slandering and maligning a noble fruit, and heaping ridicule and contumely upon It. they might Join the ac claim of those who know better. To put. It otherwise never climb a tree for a persimmon. The persimmon is never ready to pet Ish for the joy or numanitv until It drops. "That sly connoisseur. Mistah Possum, knows all about the persimmon, and when the occa sion is dark and “darkyless,” you can sometimes see him slyly meandering around beneath the tree, picking up the juiciest sam ples and scurrying back to safe ty and feasting. But you will see not a possum up a persimmon tree, unless he takes to it to get away from the dogs." After all, It is not the sum total of political life to live, nor all of the same to die. There are more per suasive things than viewing with alarm, the while the country runs riot to ruin in the hands of some loathed enemy. Happy the politically ambitious who can and do "come back” now and then from unpropitious voyages who return with sunshine in their hearts and songs of Joy bursting from their lips.

Atlanta 2736. Shipps, who An eye! can lose, and never bat Dr Elmo Ballew, one of the politi cal “war horses” of grand old Gor don County, Is attending the boys’ corn show In Atlanta. The doctor specializes in corn cul ture. among other things, and is something of a noted agricultural sharp in his vicinity of endeavor. As surpassingly fair, however, as his broad and untarnished escutcheon is In the matter of farm lore, he still scorns not to take advice from younger men. His own corn crop this year, he avers, is “middling fine,'' and made in the most profuse and generous sweat of ids brow, and still be thinks he might have made it better had he but known in the beginning all he, knew when on yesterday he had fin ished an inspection of the great show’ In the Capitol! “These com shows are great,” said Dr. Ballew. discussing the exhibition, "and I think we should encourage them all we can. The boys of Gor don County are splendidly repre- j sented here, ami they deserve great credit for the fine work they have . done. The corn clubs have done much . to better agricultural conditions in Georgia.” In order to anticipate as much as possible the rush for new automobile numbers, which must be secured for the year 15*14, Secretary Phil Cook; of the State Department will have the new numbers ready for distribu tion on December 15. They cost $5 each, and every owner of a car must | have a new number, regardless of' past issues. The new law goes into effect on j January 1, and ears without new I numbers on March I will be out lawed. As nothing is to be gained uy waiting until March to procure | new numbers, however, the State Department will prepare to issue 1 them at once. After January 1 every motor carl in Georgia must have a new' num ber annually, costing $5. It looks a little as if the pressure j brought to bear upon President Wil son in the matter of Judson C. Clem- j ents’ proposed retirement from the Interstate Commerce Commission may bear fruit. The friends of Judge Clements have taken hope of late, and now believe that there is at least tn even chance that things may fall his way, and reappointment be ten dered. There seems to be a feeling 1 throughout all Washington, not only j in Congress, but in the various de partments. that failure to reappoint ork irrep- | ommission i ' the body ; whose experience is long and w ho knows the ins and outs of the Corn- j mission’s work thoroughly . To drop j him now would be to leave the Com- , mission without one member there- J on who is ultimately qualified for the position. Moreover, there has been ! much resentment manifested here, and there that Clements seemingly was considered for the discards most ly In order that a nice comfortable berth might be supplied to former Governor Glenn, of North Carolina. The reappointment of Judson C. elements to the Interstate Commerce Commission apparently will be highly ; gratifying to Georgia, and in the same j ratio would his turning down likely be heartily protested and resented. Byron Williams, of Meriwether, spoken of frequently and favorably of late as a member of the next Sen- ; ate, is in Atlanta. Few men are bet ter known throughout Georgia, and if he runs for the office stated, there is no doubt whatever that be will be a most formidable candidate. Moreover, lie halls from one of Georgia’s star counties, politically speaking—the county that has fur nished Georgia with a number of Governors and other Statehouse of ficers. The present Governor was born in Meriwether, and several more came from that same vicinity of the vineyard. Roy Stubbs, known of politicians real and near for many moons in Georgia, left Atlanta to-day for a tour of northern South American on important business for the Central of Georgia Railway. He will be absent from Georgia for two months or more, but will get back in time to take part in whatever of political activity there is to mix in, along about springtime.
