BROWN’S ANNOUNCEMENT FOR
SENATE FALLS FLAT IN GEORGIA
So Thinks Representative
Samuel F. Garlington, Who
Declares That Hoke Smith
Will Be Returned By An
Enormous Majority
J. R. SMITH MAY GET IN THE
RACE FOR JUNIOR SENATOR
Mr. Garlington Says That
Richmond Delegation Has Not
Had Conference on Mag
istrate’s Courts Matter.
May Be Split in Delegation.
Mr. Samuel F. Garlington, one of
Richmond county’ representatives in the
legislature, spent yesterday in the city,
on account of a ‘holiday being declared
by the legislature on the “Glorious
Fourth.’’ Mr. Garlington talks inter
estingly 1 of the political situation in
Georgia as he heard much gossip con
cerning it in hotel lobbies and capitol
corridors.
“Hoke Smith will be elected to the
senate overwhelmingly,’’ said Mr. Gar
lington, “ for Joe Brown's announcement
has fallen flat all over the state. Many
men in the legislature who voted for
Brown in his previous races will vote
against him this time. He will carry
very few counties in the state and some
say that he will carry not more than
three. Hoke Smith’s eminent fitness for
the senate and the splendid record he
has made since he has been there, will
cause Georgia to send him back and
with the biggest majority a candidate
ever received.
“As for the race for the junior sena
torship, I believe that it will be a mat
ter for the convention to settle. Slaton,
Hardwick and Felder will run strong in
different sections, while J. R. Smith, Joe
Brown’s manager in previous races, is
expected to offer for the junior senator
ship, which will further complicate mat
ters.
“As for the gubernatorial race, that
waxes warmer and warmer each day and
it is going to be a great scramble.’’
Regarding local matters, Mr. Garling
ton said that the Richmond delegation
bad introduced a bill to permit the city
to condemn property for levee purposes
which bill has passed the house and
which is now in the senate.
With regard to the magistrates ques
tion. Mr. Garlington stated that the
Richmond delegation had not had a con
ference on the subject but when a bill
to abolish the magistrate courts was in
troduced it would be with a referendum
to the people. He said that there was
a possibility of the Augusta delegation
splitting on the manner of selecting a
iudge for the proposed municipal court
to take the place of the present justice
courts.
AN UNDESIRABLE
ALIEN PROBLEM
Man Born in Russia, Raised in
England and Lived in America
For Past 22 Yearp.
London. —Whether Ike Willis, a Rus
sian tailor aged 30, will permamently
become a passenger on liners traveling
between America, England and Rus
sia when he comes oft of an English
prir.on in a year's time is a matter for
speculation.
Willis is an undesirable alien, who
was charged at London sessions with
contravening an expulsion order which
hail allower his practice of a confi
dence trick. tiis counsel, Mr. Pur
cell, told a curious story about him.
Born in Russia, Willis was brought
to England when two years old. He
spent IS years in this country and
niost of the remainder of his life he
had been in America. He had a wife
and two children.
On two occasions he had been sent
to Russia by boat, but as he was un
able to speak the language the au
thorities declined to allow him to land.
The first time he was sent back here
and he had now returned to see his
wife and children and to take them
away H was difficult to know what
would happen to him in the circum
stances and he might permanently be
come a passenger on liners traveling
between the different countries.
The un. nted Willis was Bald to
have been »w?ce rejected by the Unit

sians refuse to have him back i.e

NEW STYLE LIFE-JACKETS;
PREVENTS DROWNING
London. —Following the Empress g!
Ireland disaster and thj> statement
that floating masses were discovered
in the water "which on examination
proved to be people with heads ilruup
ing'beneath the surface, hanging limp
ly in lifebelts,” the board of trade
Is seriously considering a proposal only
to approve life-jackets, which auto
matically turn the persons encaged on
to their tracks and prevent their heads
from falh.’s Into the water. Such
Jackets would prevent the drowning
of persons through fainting In the
water, which Is believed to have been
a frequent cause of loss of life.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
'WHERE IS IDE
AMERICAN FLAG?'
American Ambassador Had
None—Came Near Being
Charged With Lack of
Patriotism.
London—The American ambassador.
Dr. Walter Hines Page, came near to be
ing charged with lack of patriotism by
the seven hundred American Salvation
Army delegates on their official visit to
him, but the misunderstanding was
cleared by one of the embssy clerks.
The Salvationists made an American
patriotic display on this occasion as has
been rarely seen in London. Bands play
ed American patriotic tunes, the Am
erican colors alternated with the Salva
tion Army banners and each of the pa
raders waved a small American flag as
they marched through Victoria street
past the window at which stood Dr.
Page. The chief officers then paid a
formal mil on His Excellency. But in
the matter of bunting, the Embassy
might as w'ell have been one of the big
shops along side.
“Where is the American flag?” anked
one of the officers in a grieved tone of
one of the clerks. “Our parade was
simply ablaze with ‘Old Glory,’ and there
isn’t a single flag displayed at the em
bassy to welcome us. It doesn’t look
patriotic.”
The clerk explained that the flag of
the embassy has purely ceremonial du
ties to perform rather than patirtic or
ornamental, and is displayed only on in
structions from the state department at
Washington.
This explanation was passed rw'ound
and seemed to satisfy the patriotic
scruples of the visitors.
On account of the comparatively
small quarters American diplomats with
out large private means necessarily
maintain in foreign countries, Dr. Page
was unable to invite the Salvationists to
his home, and the embassy itself is like
wise cramped. A reception in the stieet
would have lacked dignity, so the dele
gates felt a disappointment in not being
able to shake hands with him. They
have been rather spoiled on their wap
over, they said, by Colonel Roosevelt,
who fraternized with them, stood in
shot groups and answered to the familiar
title of “Colonel” and “Teddy.”
The American Salvationists, who have
been visiting London in parties, speak
highly of their courteous treatment by
the people.
Fremier Asquith in
Office ForvSix Years
London.—Premier Asquith has now
held office for just six years, thus ex
ceeding in length the administration ot
Disraeli, who occupied the office from
1874 to 1880. Since the days of Lord
Liverpool, who was prime minister for
fifteen years, there have been only three
statesmen who have held the office for a
langer period, without a break, than Mr.
Asquith. Two of these. Lord Melbourne
and Lord Palmerston, both were prime
minister for about two months longer
than Mr. Asquith has been so far. The
third case is that of Lord Salisbury, who
was prime ndnlster for exactly seven
years, from 1895 to 1903. Lord Palmer
ston. during his long term of power,
was. like Mr. Asquith, leader of the
house of commons, as well as prime
minister. The others, however, sat in
the fpjieter atmosphere of the house of
lords. Tlie present prime minister, too,
has taken an extra burden of the office
of secretary of war. and his administra
tion has been' at least as full of hard
work as any in modern times.
Through It all Mr. Asquith, although
the strain must he great, seems to
thrive. He has certainly aged some
what hut so have all those who have
gone' through the last few- strenuous
years with him. He Is still the master
of the house of commons, having no
equal, except perhaps Mr. Balfour, In de
bate. while ns a political tactician none
come within miles of him. Even should
the Ulster question prove to he beyond
his powers of getting over difficult sit
uations, he will he able to look back
upon it long series of successes.
AMALGAMATION OF TRADE
UNIONS IS PROGRESSING
London.—The Amalgamation of the
trades union goes steadily forward. Fol
