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.
