SlDLUGHTS GEORGIA POLITICS JAMES B-NTYIN The Augusta Chronicle ventures > the opinion that Mayor Bridges ! Smith, of Macon, “is popuiar with | the newspaper men of the State,” and believes that popularity may be more than a municipal asset by and by, s > far as its political value is coneerno 1. It appears to be a fact that Bridge* Smith is “an approved proposition, ’ as Harry Fisher would say, with the newspaper out.lt ... Georgia, but whether he eve will undertake to cut a figure in State-wide politics is rather problematical. Of course, if he should, he, being himself an old news paper man, might look Lot 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 he loses, or even seems temporarily to 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 “copy” on the desk, and maybe it is because all the world loves a good fighter, even as it lows a lover. Whatever may be the big cause behind the many causes of 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 the 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 U his popularity with the people, the ef fort to “trim him” likely will result only in making him stronger. Anyway, it generally works out aft er that fashion! From all over Georgia come ex pressions of extreme gratification that Judson C. Clements is not to be dropped from the Interstate Com merce Commission to make room for former Governor Glenn or anybody else. Much genuine resentment has been manifested in this matter as it first shaped up, and there is no doubt whatever that a goodly measure of it filtered through to Washington. Georgia evidently was not going to see Clements dropped without letting it be known, even in the White House, that the proposition met with scant favor. Not that Georgians have anything in particular against Governor Glenn — far he it fro such—but that Jud son C. Clements is, and ha been '’or 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 fashion. 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 be “mentioned.” It is evident enough, even this ear ly, that there is to be no lack of Senatorial timber ready for use in that neck of the woods when election day comes along. Editor Townsend, of the esteemed Dahlonega Nugget, has his troubles and vexations, the same as any other editor. In the current issue of his sprightly weekly he says: “On Saturday ..ight a party took advantage of the darkness and rain and threw a brickbat against one ct our office doors where we sleep, after we had retired, breaking the lock, the bat passing on nto the back room, where it struck the wall and fell to the floor. Why was thi9 done? Simply because ’ during our two years as Mayor of Dahlonega we have been endeavoring to hew to the line re gardless of where the chips flew, to accordance with the oath we took. Of course, we have no positive evi dence against the fellow just now, and will give anyone $£0 with suffi cient proof to convict, and in the meantime have arranged to mirk this party or any one else, should they try such a thinr again, and maybe save any expense or trouble of an investigation. A little more than 50 years ago a man killed another just a few steps from where this of fice is located while rocking his house. We hope such a thing will not be repeated, but we must defend our place of business.’’ C’olonel Wright Willingham, one of, ! the very livest wires in all North 1 j Georgia, or any other part of Georgia, ! for that matter, has a most outspoken way with him now and then, and Jyat ! now his pet obsession is the Law En- ! forcement League of Rome, • Mr. Willingham’s uncle, Seaborn Wright, is the head and front of this i league, and Mr. Willingham is the | president of the local (’hamber >f J Commerce. Hence they both cut con siderable ice around and about Rome, and when they lock horns the fur— or something, whatever it is likely will fly, Indeed, it may be said 1 ‘al ready to have flown!” Mr. Willingham recently denounced :he Law and order Leaguers in the Hill City as a lot of “stinkpots;" and he put that right that way in The Rome Tribune-Herald, and he let it go at that! He thinks the league busies itself with "dago” soda pop venders who operate on Sunday and lets all sorts of big and influential whales slip through with all sorts of Sabbath of- fendings! The Law Enforcement League has not yet expressed its syndicated \nd amalgamated opinion of Mr. Willing ham. but those who keep tab on things in Rome opine that that opin ion, when it does come forth. Is g » ing to be something almost unpleas ant! SI* ED III MTfl THEFT CRUSIBE Three Men Bound Over Thursday Believed by Police To Be Last of Gang. Awaits ThirdHearing After Two Mistrials SAVANNAH, Dec. 20.—Following his second trial and mistrial within three weeks for the murder of Marion Lanzy, a negro, Edwin Wall is back In the county jail to-day awaiting the next term of the Superior Court, when he will probably face a jury for the last time on this charge, for a third mistrial would automatically **e- lease him. Collie Wall, Edwin’s older brother, who is the principal witness, for the defense, took the stand at both trials and declared that it was he and n >t his younger brother who killed the negro.

Con ner, a Southern Railway fireman, and Henry Roberts, a motorman, are dead following a collision of subur ban trolley ears in a fog here yes terday. As a result of the crusade against automobile thieves in Atlanta, six young white men have been sent to the county jail under heavy bond j charged with thefts of cars.

R. j Hart, of No. 500 West Hunter street, who were bound over under $1,500 bond each for tiu theft of Joseph VV. Hill’s machine Thursday The police had nothing to do with their capture except to bring the men here.

Little ani Charles Henry the negative. Schmidt Has Vision Of His Being Freed Of Slaying Charge NEW YORK, Dec. 18 — Declaring that he has had a new vision from heaven.

Boy Shot Stepfather And His Half-Brother COLUMBl’S, Dec 18 At the prelim inary hearing of J. W. Bonds, on a charge of assault and battery, it devel oped that Aubrey Brewer, the 11-year- old stepson of Bonds, was the one who shot Bonds and the little boy’s half- brother Saturday night.
