WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington City,
May 19, 1914,
I did not believe he was going to
do it, but all the same Hon. William
J. Harris has announced for Gover
nor and, furthermore, he has jumped
at once right into the middle of thé
spotlight. He is being fired at by
Tom. Watson, the Macon Telegraph,
several railroad lawyers and others.
Col. Harris doesn’t mind it a little
bit. In fact he is immensely tickled
to be the target of practically the
entire opposition bunch.
Col. Harris has tendered his resig
nation as Director of the Census, to
be accepted by Secretary Redfield at
his pleasure and on Thursday he will
leave for Cedartown, where Saturday
morning he will make his opening
speech of the campaign. From Cedar
town he will go to Rome and will
spend Sunday with his brother. Mon
day he will be in Atlanta and Tues
day and Wednesday he will be in
Macon attending a Masonic conven
tion. Col. Haris has sent to Senator
‘West his resignation as Chairman of
the State KExecutive Committee.
With this resignation and his resign
ation of a $6,000 position here Colo
nel Harris has burned all the bridges
behind him and is going to make a
red-hot, live or die, sink or swim,
campaign.
- L * *
The fight which Colonel Harris
is to make will be for the protection
of the Siate road against the designs
of these who would gobble it up or
destroy it. It is not my business to
prove that which Col. Harris charges
is true but there are enough signs
in the skies to indicate that a
spirited campaign is coming and
coming fast. Maybe when things
get busy we shall find out what that
survey party is up to that has been
working so mysteriously over behind
Kennesaw Mountain, Possibly a
railroad is being surveyed to parallel
the Western and Atlantic.
Not only is that question involved,
but there is the new lease and the
disposition of millions of dollars
worth of Georgia’s real estate n
Chattanooga. Also the Colonel will
make a square issue as to whether
Hon. Thomas E. Watson is to do
minate the Democratic party in the
State. Watson already calls him
“Baldy’’ and the Macon Telegrapa
calls him “Whispering William.”
With these able ink-slingers united
in their attacks it is easy to see that
Colonel Harris will get lots of adver
tising that will not cost him a cent.

Hon Gordon Lee has not vet decid
ed what he will do about the Govern
orship, or at least is not ready to
make a statement. He would make
a splendid Governor and it would be
a safe statement to say he will get
it whenever he goes after it. He may
not care to refire from politics yet,
and 1f he were elected Governor now
he would, in four years, be an “‘ex
governor,”” which would end his
career unless he should be elected o
the Senate.
Mr. Lee is not quite fifty five, and
from his appearance there is no rea-

flon why he should not be very much
alive thirty years from now. ;
Any State is fortunate to have the
services of a man like him, he is al
ways engaged on something good
and useful. His interest in the Corn
Club Boys is an instance.
One day he said to me:
“I could educate a boy with a
thousand dollars a year; but in this
i Corn Club work I can take a thou
-ssand and hLelp educate a thousani
; boys.
He-is one of the most systematic
’and thorough workers in Congress,
| and if, two vears from now, or feur,
| years from now he decides to quit
'and be Governor the Seventh will
have to hustle to find as useful a
man to take his place while Georgia
will have ons of the best Governors
the State has ever had.

A telegram from Washington says- i
“Mrs. Alexander Stephens fClgy,l
widow of the late Senator Clay, ilasl
nominated and confirmed Thursday |
as postmistress of Marietta, Ga. :
‘““As soon as the Senate went Inm€
executive session Senator Hoke |
Smith asked unanimous consent that
her nomination be considered imme- |
diately. |
“He referred to the affection for |
the late Senator Clay, of all the Sena- |
tors who had served with him and |
asked that the confirmation be madc
unanimous as a compliment to Sen
ator Clay's memory. The vote was |
unanimous without the formality or .
referring the nomination to the com- |
mittee on post offices and post roads. ;
Marijetta is well pleased to have |
Mrs. Clay as postmaster and Mr~l
Simmonds as assistant with M 1 |
Claude Daniell as the chief cler!'.}
Mrs. Simmonds has spent many|
years at work in the office, having |
assisted her father , Mr. J. G. Hugh(vsil
when he was postmaster and is |
thoroughly competent to undertak ;
any part of the routine work. She|
and Mrs. Clay have been friends!
since her childhood and they wiH}
be comrades in the fullest degree. |
It is pleasant to know that Mrs. (‘l:l\'k
will have an elegant and comfort:
ble office in the fine building her
husband secured for Marietta’s post
office, Few cities of the same siz
have such a handsome ,convenient
and well equipped post-office as Ma
rietta has and none has a more capa
ble and efficient force. Mr. Keel
is universally admired and esteeme 1
and all the staff of workers under
him are faithful, loyal .and pains
taking. He econgratulates. his sqc-l
cessor on the high character of_ the;
assistants she will have and while |

You see him now going by in his car, living in ease;
but maybe you didn’t see him when he was quietly going

Sam Jimpson, colored, had a col
ored neighbor of some means, who
was unkind enough to build a high
board fence about his yard, wherein
grew many luscious melons. One day
Sam 'found a hole in the fence, and,
licking his lips, he started to crawl
through. The neighbor happened to
be standing near the hole, “Heah,
you!” he cried, “whah you gwine?”
“I'ne gwine back,” said Sam, quickly
Ssuiting action to word.
