Be that as it may, however, the
r».il secret >f Bridges Smith* un
doubted popularity with the news-
papers generally Is that he i« such a
good flgmer!
He fig ins fair and square enough,
and he fights hard to win! If he
loses, or even seems temporarily io
lose, he doesn’t “holler.”
That is a quallD of statesmanship
much admired in Georgia, especially
among the new spa per men Maybe
It is because the good tighter makes
for good "copy" on the disk, and
maybe it is because all the world
loves a good fighter, even as it loves
a lover Whatever may be the bbr

that has made him many friends!
At present something of an effort
apparently is being made in Macon
to "Rdm the old man and reduce his
power." That is none of the outside
world's business, of course and ye:,
If it be true that Smith's strength j
his popularity with the people, the of.
fort to “trim him'' likely will result
only In making him stronger.
Anyway, it generally works out aft
er that fashion!
Frrfm all over Georgia come ex
pressions of extreme gratification
that Judson <\ ‘Moments Is not to

former Governor Glenn or anybody
else.

editor.
In the current issue "f his sprightly
weekly he says:
"<>n Saturday Ight a party took
ad\ fitage of the darkness and rain
and threw- brickbat against one i f
our offb e doors where we sleep, after
we had retired, breaking the lock, the
bat passing on nto the back room,
when* it struck the wall and fell ti
the floor. Why was this done? Simjly
because during our I wo years as
Mayor of Dahlonegif we have been
end- ivoring to hew to the line re
gardless of where the chips flew. In
accordance with the oath we took.
Of course, we have no nositive evi
dence against the fellow just now,
and will give anyone $f,0 with suffi
cient proof to convict, and in tho
meantime have arranged to mirk
this party or any one else, should j
they try such a thin' again, and
maybe any expense or trouble of
an investigation. A little more than

not be repeated, but we must defend

Golonel Wright Willingham, one of
the very livest wires in all North
Georgia, or any other part of Georgia,
for that matter, has a most outspoken
way with film now and then, and Jjst
now Id* pet obsession is the Daw En
forcement League of Horne.
Mr. Willingham's uncle. Seaborn
Wright, Is ;he htao and front of tms
league, and Mr. WtUingham i* the
president of the local Chamber it

cerable ice ground and about Rome,
and when they lock horns the fur

Mr. Willingham recently denounced
Law and order Leagu'-rs in the
Hill City <i - a lot of "stink i - r.s - nd

Home 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 whale. 1 - slip
through with all sorts of .!abbath of-

The Law Enforcement League has
not yet expressed its syndicated »nd
