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. Jvliil % •< M*** FEW y Cars ago the saloons seemed to consider them 4! —~r V selves ABOVE THE LAW.

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 uPCRTIONS.

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 ,li();)i) AT BEST, and to accept the reasonable and wholesome reg ulations of the laws they now so bitterly resent being enforced.

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.

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. G. A. R. Bible, C. S. C. 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. Notice to all the Teachers in Dade County for the Year 1908. The Teachers’ Institue will con vene at the Academy in Trenton on Monday, May 18, and continue the usual time.

For Solicitor General. 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.
