Teams Begin Whirlwind
Day Campaign of the
Business District,
a result of the erumtPe against
automobile thieves in Atlanta, six
young white men aye been sent to
the county jaii under hr:v\ bond
charged with thefts of cars.
The latest additions to me colonv
in the Tower are c. <>. Hagin. .4
chauffeur; Thomas Brown, of No.
11" I . 1 Whitehall street, and C. H.
Hart, of No. 500 West Hunter street,
wild were bound over under $1,5'L»
b< mi. each for tiu theft of .1 -seph W
Hill’s machine Thursday. T i.e police
had nothing to do with their capture
except to bring the men here.
This last round-up, the police he
ld v<\ has effectually suppressed the
gang which has kept automobile ow n
ers in fear for several weeks.
In addition to these three. Crank
Corrv, of No. 237 Central avenue, i«
held under $1,000 bond fur the theft
of the car of Howard Pattillo, and
Edgar Sentell, of East Point, and
Glennie Bristol, of No. 324-A Deca
tur street, are held under bonds of
$1,000 each fur the theft of a car be
longing to Wiley West, of the Fire
stone Tire and Rubber Company,
In every instance the men are
charged with larceny and operating
an automobile without the consent of
the owner. Hagan is also charged
with burglary in connection with the
robbery of a, store. He confessed to
the theft of the Hill car.
The Augusta Chronicle ventures
the opinion that Mayor Bridges
Smith, of Macon, "is popu.ar who
the newspaper men of tlie State," and
believes that popularity may be more
than a municipal asset by and by. s •
Car as its political value is concern;' L
It appears to be a fact that Bridges
Smith is "an approved proposition,’
as Harry Fisher would say with the
newspaper out.it Georgia, but
whether he evt will undertake to
cut a figure in State-wide politics is
rather problematical. Of course, if he
should, he, being himself an old new s
paper man, might look for much sym
pathy among the press contingent in
Georgia.
Be that as it may. however, the
real secret of Bridges Smith’s un
doubted popularity with the news
papers generally is that he is such a
good fighter!
He fights fair and square enough,
and he fights hard- to win! if lie
loses, or even seems temporarily o
lose, he doesn't "holler."
That is a quality of statesmanship
much admired in Georgia, especially
among the newspaper men. Maybe
it is because the good fighter makes
for good "cfopy” on the desk, and
maybe it is because all the world
loves a good lighter, even as it loves
a lover. Whatever may bt the big
cause behind the many causes <-f
Bridges Smith’s popularity in the
State, certainly his perfect willing
ness to give and take is one thing
that has made him many friends!
At present something of an effort
apparently is being made in Macon
to "trim tile old man and reduce his
•power.” That is none of the outside
world’s business, of course—and yer,
if it be true that Smith's strength is
whatever that a goodly measure of
it filtered through to Washington.
Georgia evidently was not going to
sec Clements dropped without letting
ii hi’ known, ev en in th* White House,
that the proposition met with scant
favor. * «■
Not that Georgians have anyth ng
in particular against Governor Glenn
—far be it fro suchf-but that Jud-
son G. Clements is. and ha been r i*r
years, recognized as one of the ablest,
purest and most truly constructive
statesmen the State ever produced.

It is Butts County's time to name
the Senator in the Twenty-sixth Dis
trict, and already numerous candi
dates are coming forward, after a
tentative sort of fasiilon.
Representative Mills is “being urged
to enter the field,’’ Judge H. M.
Fletcher is “in the hands of his nu
merous friends." and one or two
more are about to m "mentioned."
It is evident enough, even this ear
ly. that there is to be no lack of
Senatorial timber ready for use mi

day comes along.

"On Saturday ..ight a party took
advantage of the darkness and rain

we had retired, breaking the lock, the
bat passing on into the back room,

the floor. Why was this done? Simi i.v !
