SENATORS AND GOVERNORS.
It being pretty certain that ammu

be worse than wanted In a Tight
against Hoke Smith, for the senate,
economy and common sense very
naturally prompts the unprogreaalvea
of Georgia to maintain sweet peaci
on this Issue.
Resides, supposing that a good
chance to defeat Senator Smith pre
sented Itself, what would be the ef
fect of recalling him to Georgia?
Well, not. at least, sum an effect as
would gladden the hearts of those
who rejoice that his activities have
been removed to the national field

Smith will return to the senate with
little or no opiosltlon

Bmlth should abandon the governor's

threatening to follow the same
course, not because they fall to,
realise that this is a slur upon the
state, but like the unprogresslves's
view of Governor Smith's sensiorta.
ambitions, they feel well pleaced to
see Jack Slaton removed to the na
tional field and his place left open
for a Democrat of more markedly
progressive tendencies Sb It Is that
Che political opponents of Governor
Slaton are those who are most ready
to see him promoted to the senate
and the political opponents of Hoke
Smith are well (legged to keep him
there.
Meantime, we take this clamor In
South Georgis to mean that Mr. Ran

If Governor Slaton moves out. It Is
not likely that West will uevelop

CHAPTER FOURTEEN.
Bill left his friend Jim up In their

to the gambling house to try to recover
the }l5O of the firm’s money Jim had
lost there the night before. Bill had
been there several times with 4*m, and

hunted among the crowd until he
found the proprietor, and told him the

money that did not belong to him. and

up and said: “What do you think 1
