The Cordele Sentinel makes
this early announcement: “Bob
Berner will be the next governci
of Georgia after Candler.” We’ll
never vote for Berner ’till h*
moves his washing to the Ten
nessee line.—Waycross Herald
The Herald seems determined
to get funny on its political
geography. The Herald seem
to forget that Allen D. Candle:
is the first governor Georgia has
called from north of Atlanta
since the days of Joe Brown—
and the second Governor north
Georgia has furnished, in the
history of the state.
The London Spectator says
that “the Americans, with the
position they assume in th*
world as protectors of two con
tinents, need a fleet as larg-e at
that of France, and an army -di
50,000 men bo over-officered in
ill grades and so over-supplied
with artillery, engineers and
transports, that it can be . ex
panded at a month’s notice with,
trained reservists to 150,000
men.”
A waiter who died this week
n Boston left the snug little for
une of $30,000, most of whicl>
represented an accumulation o’
the tips showered upon him b;
vellseived guests during the
past forty years. If an ordinary
hotel waiter can husband such a
tidy sum in forty years it would
be interesting to know hovt
much a frugal Pullman car par
ter could save in the same period
if time.
