Those Atlanta people surely
have been imbicling a little too
freely in a shipment from “Booze
nooga.' 1 Friday’s Georgian had
it that snakes were on every side
in great multitudes in that soft
drink city on that day. Perhaps
it was only the reporter, though.
One of the editors of the North
Georgia Citizen is a son of Col.
McCamy. The other one (accord
ing to Judge Fite) parts his hail
in the middle. No wonder they
are giving the Jedge—well, ahem. (
what did Pat give the drum? —
That’s it.
Since Mr. Brow n is also a prolr
Gov. Smith is now charging that
Brown voted for a republican at a
time before (it happens to be)
Mr. Brown was old enough to
vote. He also charges the defend
ant w ith trying to use the negro
influence to further his interest in
the campaign for governor. AYon
der what the administration w ill
spring on the “Little Joke” next?
The Southerners say: “Just
w r ait until you hear from North
Georgia and that 10 to 1 is count
ed for Smith or Brown (as the
case may be) and then you will
know who’s who and what’s
what.” The Northerners apply
it vise versa. It appeal's to us, if
that is the way it is, it will take
several days after June 4, to de
termine who is who, etc.
The article on Advantages of
Live Stock Farming which appears
on the front page occurs to us to
contain many valuable suggestions
that could be profitably applied
to Dade County. Read it, Mr.
Farmer.

M*** FEW y Cars ago the saloons seemed to consider them
4! —~r V selves ABOVE THE LAW. They defied the an

N j H o the law graciously received by the liquor interests?
£ 6 Did they welcome a reign of law? Not at all. On
***<-***% the contrary, they ATTEMPTED TO DEFY THE
.ORDERS TO ENFORCE THE LAW until they saw defiance was
useless. Then they gave unwilling acquiescence, while VOWING
VENGEANCE ON THE OFFICIALS who dared consider that
laws were made for them to obey the same as ordinary mortals.^
CY THEIR OWN CONDUCT THEY HAVE CREATED A SENTI
MENT AGAINST THEM THAT 13 NOW ASSUMING CYCLONIC PRO

*> in s
Thcv do not dure to openly advocate the repeal of the laws that
thov are now forced to obey, but they seek to politically annihilate the
nMicials who enforce laws against them and to elect officials who will
-follow a different course. They are putting it squarely up to the peo
'ple of the state as to whether the saloons shall be allowed to run the
-politics of the state or be run out of the politics of the state.
It won! 1 seem that they would have sense enough to he quiet,
o.urumd js thcv are in a business the moral influence of which is NOT

du not seem to look at it that way, however. They have made it a

Los Angeies Welcomes Fleet.
From San Diego the Pacific battle
ship fleet sailed along close to the
shore so the thousands of people could
see the ships and reached Los Angeles
v,n the 18th. There the fleet separated
into four divisions to enter as many
separate harbors, whence the tars
swarmed ashore to be lionized by the
visiting thousands and the other thou
sands. Banquets and balls were then
in order for several days and all kinds
of amusements.
CONGRESSIONAL
The Williams-Cannon Dispute.
When the house started in on last
week’s work Leader Williams of the
minority rose to a question of privilege
and explained wherein he disapproved
the action of the speaker in declaring
the house adjourned April 18 without
heeding the demand of the minority
leader for a division. While assuring
the house that the difference of opinion
on this question had not broken the
personal friendship between himself
and Cannon, he could uot too emphat
ically express his dissent. lie feared
that long exercise of power had bred
in Cannon intolerance of opposition
and a disposition “to regard the per
formance of his official duties as a
jest.” lie felt sure that the speaker
would acknowledge his error. lie then
moved a resolution, saying that the
speaker’s action “constituted a breach
of the privileges of the house affecting
the dignity and safety of its proceed
ings.’’
The speaker replied in Ids own de
fense. saying that the rules were to
be observed under normal conditions,
but that exceptions were provided for,
one being that no dilatory motion shall
be entertained. Then, recounting the
facts of the minority's long filibuster,
he said that he felt justified in assum
ing that the call for a division on the
motion to adjourn at the end of a long
day’s work was dilatory.
Must Prcbe the Paper Trust.
The resolution introduced by Speaker
Cannon to appoint a committee of six
to obtain information as to the reason
for the increased price of white paper
was passed by the strict party vote of
18-1 to 110 April 21. Both Williams
and De Armoiul on the Democratic side
denounced the action as an attempt to
puli the wool over the eyes of thou
sands of publishers. Williams chal
lenged the speaker to let the free pulp
bill come to a vote, saying he dared
not do it, knowing that it would bo
passed. Dalzell and Sherman replied,
saying that information must precede
intelligent action.

SCHOOL NOTES
Teachers’ Examination.
I am just in receipt of a commu
nication from the State School
Commissioner Hon. J. M. Pound,
informing me that the examination
of teachers for the year will occur
on June 19 and 20. The same
rules as heretofore will he ad beared
to. There will be no change in the
text books, and teachers preparing
for the examination should read
in addition to Roark’s work,
Page & Dutton’s School Manage
ment. Dutton’s book is a publica
tion of the Scribners, These books
may be had of the Southern
School Book Depository of Atlanta,
Ga.
I will say further for the benefit
of the teachers that are thinking of
taking the examination that it
will be a rigged one, hence, the
necessity of making preparations.
The main feature in the examina
tion will be to prepare the teacher
to teach.

Will be Postponed.
It was published some time
since that Prof. Edward Carrol!,
of Rossville, who has the contract
to teach the Trenton school, would
begin aboiu May Ist. This was
the first arrangement, hut we have
been informed by one of the Trus
tees that on account of the busy
season the date has been postponed
until some time in June. This
date is not late enough by 30 days,
yet, to accomodate the farmer pat
rons as their crops will not be fin
ished until about that time, and
consequently their children will
be deprived of the first and best
month of the school.

i\> the Voter-; of Cherokte Circuit:
As it will he imp- foible ir me to see and
talk with all the voters of this circuit, 1
therefore adopt this means of inhuming
you that l am a candidate for the oilice of
Solicitor General of the Cherokee C ircuit,
subject to the next democratic primary.
The criminal law, to be readily
obeyed, must first he respected, and to
give due effect and dignity to the proper
execution of these laws, 1 believe that a
prosecuting officer should he untrammeled
by any suspicion that he is acting in the
discharge of his oflicial duties with any
sinister or pecuniary motive. I therefore
believe that the office of JSo’icitor General
should be a salaried one and that tlie lines
and forfeitures collected, as a penalty for
the violation of the criminal law, should he
paid into the county treasury of each coun
ty in which the same are collected
Your support at the ballot box I shall
greatly appreciate.
Your obedient servant,
T. C. MILNER.
Cartersville, Ga., Jan. 1, 1908.
To the Voters of Cherokee Circuit:
The State Executive Committee having
called the primary f<>r June 4, I now an
nounce that I am a candidate ior re-elec
tion to the office of Solicitor General of the
Cherokee circuit, subject to the primary.
My recoYd is before von; I have tried to do
my duty; I thin!. I can justly claim that I
have so conducted the aflaiis of the office
that I have saved the tax-payers money by
consuming no unnecessary time in the trial
of eases. I have at all times kept in mind
that time is money while the courts are in
session. Mv knowledge of the duties of
the oflice is such that I believe I can d<>
better in future than I have in the past. I
shall be engaged in the courts much of the
lime between now and June 4, and cannot
see you all in person. Your support will
be greatly appreciated. I promise if re
elected to do my duty, fearlessly and im
partially. Respectfully,
SAM 1\ MADDOX.
FOR SUPERIOR JUDGE.
To the voters of Cherokee circuit:
I have twice before asked at your hands
the honor of being the Judge of your Su
perior court, and each time you leave de
cided the matter against me. Rut Ido not
feel that I can lay aside a iife long ambi
tion to till this great and responsible office
without once more asking it at your hands
assuring you that whether or not you are
now willing .to elect me, I will not again
be a candidate. My record as a lawyer and
a citizen of your circuit for many years i>
before yon. If you think that this record
is such as will justify a good citizen ii
voting for me, I ask vour votes and influ
ence. if elected I promise to the best of
mv ability I will endeavor to till the great
trust you impose on me without t'earjavoi
affection or l*i rs, giving every man the ini
partial justice ihe law requires.
Yours respectfnllv,
Jt. J. McCamv
To the voters of Cherokee Circuit:
1 am a candidate 'or re-election to the
judgeship of the Cherokee circuit, subject
to the primary June 4, 1903.
Knowing t!i it my experience on tin j
bench has better qualified tne for the dis
charge of the duties of the office, and be
lieving that you agree with me and desire 1
my re-election, I respectfully submit mv j
candidacy to you. j
i desire to meet each of yon in person
before the primary, but may not be able
to do so, as I will be busy holding court
most of the time from now u til then; and j
1 therefore take this method of asking your '
active support and influence, assuring
you of inv appreciation and gratitude and
promising, if von re-elect me, to serve you
faithfully, impartially and to the best of
my abiliiv, as I have been and am now
doing. Very truly yours,
A. W. FITE.
