COUNTY AND CITY OFFICIAL ORGAN THE PRESIDENTIAL SITUATION IN GEORGIA. The fight for a choice for the Dem ocratic nomination for president is on in Georgia, between Hon. Oscar Under wood, of Alabama, and Gov, Wood- row Witson, of New Jersey, Head quarters for each of them have been established in Atlanta. The friends of Gov. Wilson claim that he is the logical candidate, and should be given Georgia’s vote in the convention. That lie represents those A CLEANING UP DAY. Whi'ii the rain is over, mid the sun shine brings gladness to the earth, and the trees and fiowers begin to bloom. Milledgeville should have a general cleaning up day. Every cit izen and property owner should join u this movement. It will go along ways towards making our city beau tiful and healthy. We should start the summer with a clean city from north to south and from east to west. This could be done if the people of the city would realize the Importance of having a clean ami sanitary city. In many [daces the ladies have or ganized for this purpose, and have been a potent factor in accomplish- ng great results. Let’s have a. general cleaning up day! Na r iifc>ot. o* 6hakespe«t‘e. It Is a fact that the great emperor of the French had a very poor opinion of Shakespeare's plays. According to Thibaudeau, In his "Bonaparte and the Consulate,” Napoleon said one day: "Shakespeare was forgotten even by the English for two hundred years, un til Voltaire took It Into his head to write him up, to please his English friends; and ever since people have gone about repeating that Shake- principles which the people wish to see I speare was the greatest author that enacted into law. That he stands for a government in the interest of the peo ple. That he is a Southerner and once made his home in Georgia. He is the strongest man that the Democratic party could possibly nominate. The friends of Mr. Underwood say that it is time for the South to exercise its rights and nominate a Southern man lor president, and that Mr. Underwood stands out preeminently as the man for whom Georgia should cast its vote. That as the floor leader of the majority in the House of Representatives lie has proven himself n great leader, and a man of sound judgement. That he stands out a man among men as the i.,.c to lead the Democratic party to vii fory. 'i he forces are lining up in Georgia, an 1 '.he fight promises to be a mernor- abh- one. ever lived. I have read him, and there is nothing In him that approaches Corneille or Racine. His plays are not worth reading. 0 THE GOVERNOR'S RACE. The Gubernatorial race in Georgia is assuming shape. Several weeks ago I Hon. Joe Hill Hall, of Macon, announc ed that lie would be a candidate. Uu 1 last Saturday Hou. Thos. G. Hudson, | Commissioner of Agriculture, anuoune- j ed his candidacy and platform, It is! reported that Hon. J. M. Slaton, of j of Atlanta, will announce within the next few days. A persistent rumor says that Judge R. B. Russell will again enter the field. Ic may be safely predicted that Georgia will have an interesting cam paign for Governor this year. IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE. The determination of the City j Council to extend the sewers in the southern part of the city and on North Jefferson street is a stop in the right direction and meets with the approval of our people. It is reported that Messrs. L. S. Fowler and Geo. P. Brantley, who have recently purchased property on North Jefferson are planning to erect modern dwellings. The Georgia rail road will soon erect a modern depot and other improvements are prom ised out that way. A step that is made to improve any section of the city is a wise one. We want to see the city improye rapidly this year. V v V V v" *4: O 1 ; 4 Misses Keil am! Ivey have the pretties! and most up-to-date Pattern Hats.
