THE A TREASURY.

Information having last week reach
ed Gov. Francis that there were certain
irregularities in the management OF the
treasury of the state he Immediately
called the state osicers together In con
sultaiIon, laid the matter before them,
and began a quiet investigation 10
learn for himself whether there were
sufficient grounds upon which to take
public aud official action.
On last Saturday morning Auditor
Seibert and Secretary Of State Lesueur
went TO st. Louis and informed such
of the bondsmen Of Treasurer holland
as could be reached Of the situation
The latter gentlemen then took charge
Ut the business from their standpoint
for themselves. The two state officers
mentioned having no personal or
sHlcial knowledge OF any deficit or
even irregularity, declined to be inter
viewed, when In some way the st
louis press ascertained the nature OF
their erraDd.
In the mean time Gov. Francis. who
ia an excellent business man and
thoroughly familiar with accounts, was
progressing with his investigation, and
on Tuesday evening had seen enough
TO satisfy him that be should suspend
the treasurer which he did BY authori-
" Of section 1913, r. 3. 1889.
On that night, after consultation
ith Attorney. General Wood, Auditor
5eibert and Secretary OF State Lesueur'
the governor appointed Q committee TO
examine the condition Of the treasury,
drst determining the balances before
he should himself, under the law, pro-
| seed to take possession of the Office and
| superintend II. In order TO place the
report Of this committee above sus-

A Worthy Candidate for Atty General.

The present incumbent, Hon.
Clifford Anderson, has held the
Office for twelve years and has made
an acceptable and efficient officer.
He is a christian gentleman and
able lawyer. But the people OF
Georgia ought to elect Judge Geo.
N. Lester Attorney General. No
man in Georgia has done more to
serve the Democratic party than
Judge Lester. He raised compa-
ny and went to the war and fought
CALAMITY for his country. He left
his right arm on the battlefield ard
came home after the surrender and
his voice was heard throughout the
mountains Of Georgia to redeem his
State from radical misrule and
carpet-bag government. Whenever
organized democracy has been
threatened by independentism, his
eloquence has come to its rescue.
A few years ago his left wrist was
broken by fall at the Kimball
House, and it was a long time be-
fore he could attend to any bust
ness. A son-in law died and left
five little orphan girl children on
Judge Testers hands to support
and educate. He is now q poor
man, with large family dependent
upon him, one arm left on the battle
field, the other greatly crippled, and
he needs help.
He has been true to every trust
committed to his care. Col. An
derson ought to get out of the race
and help Judge Lester, and North
Georgia woul appreciate his liber,
atty and would some day be GLAD
to help make him Governor Judge
Lester is an able lawyer, christian
gentleman, kind and tender, heart
ed husband and father; he would
make a good officer, he needs the
office, and the people Of Georgia are
going to elect him.
