Davison-Paxon-Stokes Co., Store of Many Departments. s GOSSIP OF STATESM EN 22 POLITICIANS 0 0 © ® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® $ T 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*. Colon*! Satin takes It more calmly :.„o bla rivals. Though advanced In >c*r*. he Is rugged and strong. His .“'lot been so largely a campaign of 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. The state road committee will make Its annual Inspection of the road Fri day, July 1$. A special train with the party will leave the union depot at > o'clock. Max E. Land Is the chairman of the committee. The train will carry a day coach, Pullman sleeper and In spection car. There will be five por ters along, It Is rumored,, two to open and three to serve.

Spertsl to The fieorgtsn. 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.
