Public hearing in the second sena
torial investigation into the election
of Senator Lorimer was declared clos
ed by Chairman Dillingham of the
senate Lorimer committee, Attorney
Hanecy, representing Senator Lori
mer, was given permisssion to file a
brief to the effect that the senator's
election had been adjudicated before
the present investigation began and,
therefore, that it could not be the
subject of a second investigation. The
inquiry .has proved to be one of the
most exhaustivé ever made by a con
gressional committee. In the eight
months’ hearing about 10,000 pages of
printed testimony were taken, con
stituting about 5,000,000 words. 1t
is estimated that the stenographers’
fees alone reached. $15,000.

termined upon =by the Democratic
members of the house commiitee on

agriculture. A statement issued by
Solicitor McCabe of the department
of agriculture with the approval of
‘Secretary Wilson declares that the
charges are untrue, and that the ef
fort to “besmirch the character of the
secretary of agriculture will fail.” The
determination to sift to the bottom the
circumstances concerning the depart

the Florida land cases was preceded
by a conference between Senators

has been a bone of contention for
many weeks lasted for three hours,

NO CHANGES NECESSARY IN ITS
* CHARACTER TO MAKE IT A
HEARST NEWSPAPER. 5
HAS ASSUMED CONTROL
In The Georgian, Hearst Finds Paper
Founded by His Friends, Fighting.
His Battles. i
; -+~ —Atlanta.
The New York American announced
editorially that “William Randolph
Hearst has purchased the Atlanta
Georgian. Elsewhere in the same pa
per there appears a news story to the
same effect. In neither announcement
is there given any indication of the
price that Mr. Hearst paid for the At
lanta publication. i
The editorial announcement ap
pears under the caption: “Mr. Hearst
buys the Atlanta Daily Georgian.” The
announcement follows:, “Iti:is. noted
elsewhere in this paper that W. R.
Hearst has. purchased the " Atlanta
Daily Georgian and will"assume im
mediate control, Atlanta. is practical
ly the capital of the New South, and
the New South is a section of enor

“The South is a splendid section of
our country, supports in its American
ism and catholicism proven patriot
ism and loyalty. The rebuilding of
‘the South in wealth and population
since the Civil war has been the ma
terial miracle of our history.
“In extending his mewspaper chain
int® the center of this great Southern
country, Mr. Hearst is simply enlarg
ing his capacity to help the great peo
ple who live there and to do his full
share of work in the greater future
which is before them. .
“In the Georgian Mr. Hearst finds a
newspapé_r which was founded seven
years ago by his friends, and upon the
principle for which he has long and
consistently fought. It is already es
tablished and successful, and with the
facilities n;ow behind it must develop
into a power which shall keep pace
with its usefulness. - .
~ “The Hearst newspapers always go
to stay. They can be neither bullied,
bribed nor broken. They never die, be
cause their principles are founded up
on the principles which, being vital
to the people, ought to endure and
will endure.
“The Atlanta Georgian is, therefore,
a fixed and beneficent factor in the
future life of Georgia and the South.”
: The news announcement appears
under a three-column one line head of
heavy black type under the heading: ‘
«“94,065,777 people in these 11 states.”
Over this heading there appears a
map of the South, showing Atlanta asl
its center, and giving the populatiou‘
of each of the states. The story fol-}

“Mr. W R. Hearst has purchased
the Atlanta Georgian of Atlanta, Ga.,
which becomes a new and important
link in his nation-wide chain of news
papers. A glance at the map gives
some idea of the enormous growth of
the 11 Southern states of which At
lanta is the axis. |
“Few people realize that there are
200,000 people in Atlanta; 150,000 in
Birmingham, Ala., 60,000 in Jackson
ville; 300,000 in New Orleans, 125,000
in Nashville, not to speak of Mem
phis, Chattanooga, Savannah, Mobile,
Little Rock, Raleigh, Charlotte, Co
lumbia, Richmond, Louisviile Jackson
and countless other metropolitan cities
that cover this section. The South is
a very rich country agriculturaly. Its
principal product—cotton—clothes the
world. The value of the cotton the
South exports to foreign countries
each year is alone greater than the
annual production of gold in the en
tire world.
“The Georgian is one of the widest
read dailies in the states and from
its beginning has been famous for its
independence and its successful
fights for humanity. No changes are
necessary in its character and habit
to make it a member of the Hearst
family of newspapers.”

Findings .of Auit Committee.
That while there “has been no evi
dence of dishonesty or misappropria
tion of funds on the part of any one
connected with the department of ag
riculture, many discrepancies have
been found to exist in the system
employed in this department, is in
substance the findings of the Ault
committee made public after a hard
day’s session in which the commit
tee’s work ‘was concluded.
In its general “findings” the com
mittee sets out that Commissioner
Hudson has used unsually good judg
ment in the selection of men at the
head of the food inspection, drug,
state chemistry and state veterinari
‘an departments, and, as a result, these
'departments have been found to be in.
‘a’ most satisfactory condition.
On the: other hand, the findings
show, there have been numerous ir
regularities in the oil and fertilizer
inspection departments, which call for
a_number of radical changes in the
system now employed. : :
Few Changes on Governor’s Staff."
With the exception of possibly not
more than six out of twenty-eight,
Gov. Joseph M. Brown will be served
this year by the same military staff
he had under his former administra
tion. : .
He has not yet made his staff ap
pointment, though he has had the
matter under advisement with Colonel
Frederic J. Paxon, who will be his
chief of aides, and the appointments
will probably be made soon,
A number of applications have been
received for staff appointments, and
these have been referred to Colonel
Paxon. Governor Brown states, how
ever, that he expects in the main to
appoint the same staff which served
under his first administration. At
least twenty of these will -be reap
pointed, while there will be some six
or eight new members on the staff.
Georgia Militia to Chicamauga.
Details of the arrangements for the
National Guard eneamqments ‘to be
held this Summer have not yet been
perfected by the militia bureau at the
war department in Washington.
A request has been submitted
through the adjutants general of the
various states to know what locality
and what time would be most conven
ient for the state troops. Replies are
‘due on February 10, and within five
days thereafter the schedule will be
‘made up and the result annou;ced.
The National Guard of Georgia will
iprobably be sent to Chickamauga,
each detachment having about ten
days in camp. A camp at Anniston,
Ala., has been suggested, but has not
been given serious consideration,
Editor Frier Probable Candidate
Editor Will R. Frier of the Doug
las Enterprise, one of South Geor
gia’s best known newspaper men, is
being urged by his friends to enter
the race for prison commissioner
against Judge T. E. Patterson, and
is said to be seriously considering the
matter.
Mr. Frier was in Atlanta recently,
and when asked as to his probable
candidacy, said: i
“It is true that many of my friends
through the state have been Kkind
enough to suggest that I enter this
contest, but I have really been so
much occupied with my business in
terests of late that I have not been
able to give the matter the considera
tion ‘which I would like to before com
ing to any conclusion.
“1t is naturally very gratifying to
me to receive these voluntary assur
ances of support from my friends, and
the fact that there is not at present
a south Georgia man on the prison
commission is being stressed by them
in their letters. I expect to give the
matter full consideration at an early
date, and will then announce my de
cision about entering the contest.”
Governor Brown Has New Gourd.
Governor Brown got in his new ad
ministration long-handléed gourd — a
fine three and a half foot specimen,
