WO member* ot the legislature
were discussing the expenses of
Urine In Atlanta during the ses<
slon. One said:
"1 have a good big front room In a
nice house, and pay $5 a week. My
Incidental expense* are not over ft a
week, so I aav* about $18 every seven
days out of my per diem of $4 a day."
"That's cheaper than I live now,"
said the other one. "It Is costing me
about lit a week actual expenses, nnd
I've got to cut It down somehow. A
felloe- wants me to go In the room with
him. and It will cost us only $5 n week
a piece then."
Which leads to the comment that
perhaps a majority of the members of
the general assembly consist of frugal
men. who save a good proportion of
ihelr $200 for the session. Not all.
however, for some live In the expen
sive hotels, and perhaps pay $4 or
more per day for board. It la said that
a few men spend $500 to $800 per ses
sion of so days.
Hoke Smith's campaign for governor
win be historical, perhaps. In more
ways than one. Since he opened his
campaign over a year ago In Madison
he has spoken In 111 counties, and by
the time he has wound up a day or so
before the primary on August $$, he
"III have made the total near 140. In
many of the counties he has spoken
twice or more. Fannin Is the only
county north of Atlanta In which he
has not made a speech. Clayton, Joncx
end one or two others north of Macon
"mixing” with the voter* In the various
counties he has visited. Colonel Jim
Smith has not spread the area of his
campaign out very widely, but hns ap
parently confined his etTorts to the
cpuntles of Northeastern Georgia..
jJoo Hill Hall’s opposition to the 2-
cent mileage bill has caused consider
able talk In the house, on account of
the nntl-rntlrnad views generally held
by the gentleman from Bibb.
The 2-cent mileage bill by Mr. Perry,
of Hall, was taken up In the committee
room last week and caused a long dis
cussion. In which Joe Hall took a
prominent pun. The fact that he Is
opposed to the bill soon became known
to the members of the bouse. Mr.
Hall's contention Is that the railroad
commission should decide on the mile
age rate.
The substitute for the Boykin anti
bucket shop bill by Mr. Anderson, of
Chatham, has been printed In circular
form nnd will be i.fi'i-ic.l by Mr. An
derson when the Boykin bill Is reached
on the calendar. The difference In the
Mihultiitn by Mr. Anderson and the
original bill by Mr. Boykin Is In tho
provision made by tho former for so-
called legitimate exchanges, ruling out
bucket shop dealing.
Mr. Roper, of Pickens, Is a singular
figure In the house. He Is always In
his seat and listens attentively, but
never has a word to say.
sr
have not heard him, nor has Ogle-* jvjj
thorp*, the home of James M. Smith,
another gubernatorial aspirant.
The other counties not yet visited
by Mr. Smith are In South Georgia.
He has not stormed Colonel Estlll’s
stronghold—Chatham—yet, but will go
there the latter part of July. There
are not more than live or six counties
Mr. Smith has no present Intention, at
least, of visiting. Turner Is the only
one of the new counties In which he
has not spoken.
Only one .other candidate has a
nook-ln at Hoke Smith's record—and
that Is "Plain Dick” Russell. Judge
Russell has not been at It nearly so
long as Mr. Smith, but he has done
some mighty humping since he laid
down tho judicial ermine, and jumped
full-rigged Into the gubernatorial
arena. Judge Russell Isn't satisfied
"Ith firing one shot In a county—he
manages to make It from three to live
broadsides, and usually turns loose the
lot within the day. His best single
record Is for Coweta county, where he
made nine speeches In two days.
Both Hoke Smith and Judge Russell
nave wonderful power of recup*ra-
tlon, and can stand the terrific pace of
'he campaign better than any of the
"'hers, it u said that either can go to
sleep on stuffy cars, a chair or a com
fortable bed almost Instantly, and
come up strong and refreshed. Mr.
”mlth has put on considerable flesh
during the year's campaigning. Judge
Russell has a lean, wiry frame that
wear" hart,h * p * without perceptible
Hark Howell happily has the faculty
of standing the wear and tear of a
campaign pretty well, considering the
■act that he by no means has the
Physique of either of the two named
‘hove. He, too, can sleep peacefully
“most anywhere, and find* that It re-
h,m wonderfully. Mr. How-
:,b»» not spoken In over two-thirds
or the counties, but will get Into many
O'hers before the curtain fall*.

Pecch-maklng, depending more on
taker Slaton, of the house, ruled
an Iron hand Monday morning
when the members were voting on Mr,
Felder's motion to commit to the com
mittee on rules the Joint resolution of
Messrs. Anderson and Stovall, of Chat
ham, naming July It as the date for
the address befork the general assembly
of Hon. Walter O. Charlton, of Savan
nah. Three votes were taken on the
motion without a quorum. The doors
were ordered closed by the speaker
and the roll called. The motion was
lost.
The members are discussing the anti
bucket shop movement. The bill Is
going to furnish some Interesting
slons.
Mr. Butts, of Glynn. Is conceded to
be the best-looking man In the house.
He denies the charge, however. There
are several applicants for the ugliest
man. Mr. Butts Is a single man.
"Little Tom" Felder, as the gentle
man from Bibb Is referred to, dies
hard. His excellent knowledge of par
Momentary law enables him to pro
long his fights for the committee on
rules.
Many of the counties are Introduc
ing automobile speed blits.

pa—lijrii, N. C„ July 10—The elate
Republican convention convened here
yesterday. The feature of the session
was the speech last night ot Becrstary
pf War Taft
The secretary discussed political con
dltlnns In the South and expreeaed the
hop* that he white people would dl
vide so that there might be two point
cal parties.
Discussing disfranchisement, the aec,
retary said that no law containing the
grandfather clause would ever eland
the test of the United Slates suprei
pram
Court, and he further said that any
•■•In, i' i mill " 'ill,I ■ ■ i •'i 11i ■ 1. •
fmni IiIhi, whiles ; i m well it - lu-gr.ie*.
Me, r. t,i v Taft, in opening, said that
when he was Invited to address this
meeting the committee advised him
"that the political situation was such
that It the proper effort was made at
the ■ ■ • • n I li K elev 11, >11 l( w,m|,| !„■ p.isst
ble to carry tho state for the Republl
can party.” The secretary added:
“I believe that nothing that could
hnppeu In the politics 111 this country
would work greater advantage to the
country at large nnd to the South In
particular than the breaking up of
what line been properly known as the
'solid South.' I say this In'no partisan
spirit, for I am not on* of those who
think that this reault would neceesarl-
- Increase the probability ot the con-
nuancp In power of the Republican
P ‘%a solidity of the South has In n
measure furnlshod Its own antidote In
restraining many voters In the North
who might have left the Republican
[mrty, but for what they regard ns the
Injustice and danger of Southern po
litical conditions.
“The Mouth has been kept solid by
tbs specter- sf negro domination and
by stirring op tidal prejudices and
arousing unfounded nlarm over an Im
possible return of reconstruction days.
"After a long struggle." ho added,
"the negro’s vote was mad* to count
for nothing and then tho political lead
ers of the dominant party cam* to
realise that dreadful demomllratlon of
all society that followed In a govern
ment If law was floated end fraud was
to constitute Its binds. They cast about
to make the law square with oxlstlnf
conditions by property and educntlona
q uni mentions which should exclude the
negro. They adopted amendments to
state constitution* with the so-called
ndfnthcr clauses' Intended to apply
new qunllflcntlons to the negro and
not to apply them to the whites."
He addod that there “was enough of
Independence even among those rep
resentatives to give the vote which
made tho canal possible, but the very
fact that merely to accomplish somo
supposed advantage to the neinacrntlc
party, it majority ot tho senators ot
the South were willing to sacrlflc* her
material Interests and delay the great
project of such capital Importance to
her Indicates the disadvantage that she
labors under In having It appear that
she Is Mod Irretrievably to the Demo
cratlc party."
The Republican party ot North Caro
linn, he declared, would be much
Stronger as n voting party If all the
Federal office* were Ailed by Demo
crats. “As long." he added, "as tha
Republican party In Bouthsrn states
shall represent little save a factional
chnso for Fed sent offices In which the
business men nnd men of substance In
(he community hnve no desire to enter
end In the result of which thsy have no
Interest, we may expect the present
political conditions of -the South to
continue."
PRESBYTERIANS PURCHASE
MOUNTAIN HOME
Of all the representative! In the
house, of Mr. Covington, of Colquitt,
alone can It be said that everyone In
the house likes to hear him talk. He
has on* of the most soothing voices
ever heard In those walls. He la an
Influential member, too.
Mr. Covington Is popular In his own
county and v.-as renominated thla year
without opposition. He was Judge of
the city court of Moultrto for a while.
He was graduated from Kmory Col
lege In 1118 and waa admitted to the
bar two years later. He Is 87 years
old.
The gentleman from Colquitt I* tho
man mimicked so successfully by Mr.
Flanders, of Johnson. It Is a favorite
amusement with the latter.
Hooper Alexander, tho gentleman
from DeKalb, Is one of the most ac
tive mombers of tho house. He
heard frequently and at length. He
Jumped on the railroad commission
with both feet not long ago, end but a
few days after Introduced a resolution
to request tht governor to explain a
certain part of his message. He Is
on* of the most conscientious mem
bars of th* house, end when he takes
a course, leaven mailing undone t'l run
It to Its end.
Mr. Alegander used to be In the
newspaper business. Borne people say
he attributes his success In the house
to getting out of the fleni of journalism
Into the pasture of politics.

Columbus. Gt, July I#.—James Pur-
tci, a young whit* man, owes his life
to th* fact that he had on a rubber
coat while driving a carriage belonging

tha stables when the horses ran Into a
heavily charged electric light wire
which had fallen from a pole, and
ong of the horses dropped dead from
the shock, pulling the other one down
and bringing the wire across It when
It was also killed. Turtle was on the
driver's seat and the wlr* fell across
his legs, but the rubber of the coat he
had on saved him. and although he
was shocked, he Jumped to the ground
la safety. Before the current could he
cut off both hones were horribly
burned.

Great Bill at the Casino.
What Is probably the best vaudeville

There are just about three of th* turns
that are worthy of being great big

above the summer theater average,
rounding out the evening's entertain
ment to th# queen'* teat*. The per-
foi-mance wea worthy of th* splendid
crowd that was out.
Green and Kerner scored th* biggest
hit of th* evening with their sketch,
"Babe* In a Jungle." It was some
thing new to Atlanta and extremely
well done. But light In the same class
were Bam Elton, the grotesque acro-
and the trained animals,
Ith such a good show on. It really
seems that th* Casino management
might exercise sufficient foresight or
car* to furnish enough prognuns to go
around. Not more than half of the au
dience Monday night could get a line as
to who’s who.
