GOV. GEORGE NJ TROUP.

An Incident In the Career of One of
Georgia's Greatest Public Men-The
Veto Power.
Georgia never had a greater statesman
than Gov. George NJ. TrOup, nor a man
more free from the arts of expediency.
He knew nothing about the low and mean
subter(uges of a partisan, nor the special
pleadings of the politician who works
alone for party success. His character is
a study for those who contemplate pub
lie career.
Gcv. Troup was emphatically man of
principle, not presidents or eXPediencies;
and besides, he was man of most decided
convictions as to what was right and
wrong. He was not a man to ask what
this or that man, or this or that leader,
had to say. His writings photograph the
character Of his mind.
When GOV. Troup was in the executive
chair, from 1928 to 1927, party feeling not
only ran high, but was bitter. There was
a TrOup party and Clark party, and the
issues were well defined.
During the session of one of the Legis-
IatUres Of his administration the Clark
party was in the majority, and bill was
introduced OF partisan character look
ing to the strengthening of that party.
But the Clark men were afraid to pass
the bill, for fear that Gov Troup would
veto it; aud as the bill could not be car
ried over his veto the Clark men were
afraid to go before the people with the
measure.
The writer's father was then, as he was
until his death, one of the editors of the
Southern Recorder, and that paper was
Known as a TrOup or States Rights jour
nal. MY father and Gov. Troup boarded
at the same hotel, as there was not then
an Executive mansion. Said my father
on one occasion as they were sitting to-
gether at the hotel: Governor, the Clark
men are very anxious to pass their bill,
but are afraid of your veto. If it was not
for that they would pass it without hest
tation.'
Said Gov. TrOup-"Mr. Orme, am not
the Georgia Legislature; l am but an ex-
ecutive officer. My duty is to sign all
bills passed by the Legislature that are
not unconstitutional. / have my sphere
III which to act, the legislator has his. l
will not come in conflict with him in the
discharge of his duty, and he must not
come in conflict with me in mine. | do
not like the spirit or character of the bill,
for il is partisan, but it is not unconstitu-
tional, and should the bill pass l would
sign it. | will enforce a bad law, know
ing it to be bad, for it will teach the peo-
pie that if they want good laws they must
send to the Legislature good men. That
is the only way to have good legislation"
My father spoke of the conversation to
several of his political friends, who be-
Iieved that Gov. Troup would veto the
measure if passed. 1t was repeated from
mouth to mouth until it reached the ears
of the Clark men, and, tracing the report
back to IFS source, my father was given
as authority. That was enough. The
bill was pat upon its passage and passed.
Gov. Troup signed it. Whether it ever
benefited the Clark party or not l have
forgotten. X. Nj. y.

Stopping the Business.

A law passed by the last legislature Of
Georgia proves efficaeious in breaking up
the carrying of concealed weapons Lin
preparing the tax bill in the last legislature
the following item was slipped in: "Upon
all dealers in pistols, toy pistols, revolvers,
pistol or revolver cartridges, dirks or bowie
knives, the sum of 300 for each place of
business in each county where the same are
sold, shall be levied" Since Jan l, traders,
in paying their licenses, have been con-
fronted with this additional charge, and
rather than pay it nine tenths of them drop
that feature of their business. The effect of
the license is to limit places where arms can
be purchased to q few populous points.
Thus those who have pistols cannot re-
perish their cartridges without sending in
some instances seventy-fve miles. as tho
dealers in smail towns would not sell over.
800 worth of such goods in year. The
license amounts to prohibition.

gust were strangely mingled; but the former
was the predominant sensation. In the first
place, if Mrs. Wilson kept her promise of
secrecy, it seemed to M that ali danger of
suspicion ialling upon Philippe was re-
moved. There would be no one else to make
known the fact that upon the nigh5 of Sir
Mervyn's death a wronged, distracted wo-
man left her home-a woman whose life's

man, moreover who has wrongs Of her own
calling for vengeance. Tomorrow her
mind may change, and instead of further
ing our safety she may be urging on the
pursuit. Let me trust no one save myself
For my loves sake, I was overjoyed to
hear that, surprising the woman's statement
and date were correct, Philippa YVES the
dead mans lawful wife. Not that this fact
for one moment palliated the guilt of his in
tention, or lessened the contempt and hatred
I bore towards him; not that it changed in
my eyes by one iota my loves position.
Married or unmarried, to me she was all
that a woman could be. Though black
guards craft had wrought what would be
her shame in the eyes of the world. though
her hands were unconsciously red with a

suspicion ever points to her, l may pass
rapidly over the events of the next two
months; the more so as my record of them
would differ very little from the description
OF an ordinary tour in Spain. To me, after
the feverish anxiety, the horrible dread as
to what any hour might bring forth, which
had characterlz d our flight from England,
it seemed something very much like bathos

everyday tourist taking couple of ladies

winds blowing straight from the Guadar-

So at our leisure we went southwark, halt

we thought fit; lingering here and there just
so long as it suited us; travelling by easy
stages and in such comfort as we could
command. At Malaga we spent weeks, rev

: a Pretty WaddIne.

One of the prettiest weddings that has
occurred in Portland for long time took
place last evening at the residence of Capt
and Mrs. A. J. Pettengill when their daugh-
ter Ecla was united in marriage to Mr.
Edward E. Cheney of this city. A large
number of the friends of the couple were
present, and when the hour for the ceremony
arrived the spacious parlors and hall were
filed with guests.
At shortly after o'clock the bridal party
entered the drawing room and the couple
took their position beneath floral horseshoe
composed of exquisite lilies, japonicas and
other flowers. The ceremony was conducted
by the Rev. G. J. Clark and passed off most
happily. Att termination the newly mar
ried pair were rendered the congratulations
Of those present, the reception lasting until
8 o'clock, when the company were invited up
stairs to the large hall, where an elegant
wedding repast had been prepared.
The wedding presents were displayed in
the dining room, and were both many and
choice. From the brides father were num-
Der of fine oil paintings, and among the
other elegant testimonials were noticeable
cut glass lemonade sets, silver stands and
vases, a rocking chair finished with embossed
leather, and handsome willow chair, rare
point lace, elegant pearl jewelry, ice cream
and tea sets, placques in handsome designs,
charcoal sketch, and many other handsome
articles
The guests made their adieus at about II
o'clock, taking occasion to again express
their cordial feelings to Mr.. and Mrs. Cheney,
and bearing with them the remembrance of
delightful evening and an exceedingly pretty
wedding.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cheneyi leave this morning
tor tip in the eastern part of the State,
followed by the best wishes of large num-
Der of friends.
