GubernntOriaI Politics.

There were recently some suggestions
that there would be no candidate from
Upper Georgia or the upper part of Md
die Georgia. for the governorship. There
was apparently an entire absence of in
terest IN politics in those usually very
active sections. 1t seems, however that
observers at distance We're mistaken.
What they thought to be a phenomenal
state of political quietude i'm the upper
part of the state was something else The
observers We're shortsighted, or didn't see
straight 1t appears now that so far
from there being no candidates i'm Upper
and Middle Georgia, the woods are full of
candidates. They have been simply saw
ing their breath. while aspirants in other
parts of the state are beginning to tire al
ready. It Is said that the capitol ring
is coaching as a candidate one of the
present occupants Of a capitol office. and
ne is a very strong man. not only political
ly but otherwise. He did good work for
the present incumbent OF the guberuato-
rial chair, and as turn about is fair
play" he is receiving the strong support
of .hat able politician.
The nomination, If reports are correct,
is to be secured as il were, by a house
toulouse canvass among local politicians
in the counties, and by liberal promises
of good things 10 those who help, and of
condign punishment to those who fail to
fan down and worship. 1t is the old COM
binatlon over again. with new ring-mas-
ter. However, il is but just 20 the gem
ueman who Is mentioned 10 state that he
is built ON much broader guage than the
present executive OF the state.
There are few aspirants for the high
Office OF governor in every part of the
state. and they are as "a rule able men.
but they do not know how 10 work the
machine" Possibly some may accident
ally break into the charmed circle though
az present their chances Of doing 80 seem
TO be ia danger. II is too quiet In the camp
OF the ring to suit those outside Of II.

A Xacntion Epicure.

Two weeks ago a very queer stranger
appeared at one of the beach hotels on The
south side, says the Chicago Record. He
was well dressed well fed, ana he brought
n very assuring quantity of baggage with
him. He was intelligent, genial and hos
pIable, too, for on several occasions he
had friends come TO dine with him.
But he was queer.

the clerk on registering. Have the boy
see TO il that ! am wide awake before he

The clerk assured him that he wouldn't {
be able to sleep after that boy got his
knuckles against the door panels.
And he didn't. Every night for two
whole weeks the stranger insisted on g

he be awakened thoroughly. Every morn
ing the boy pounded until his knuckles
must have been sore.
Al the first rat-tat the man in No. 2l2
would grunt, groan and flop over.
After fifteen seconds he would sigh and
mumb,e "U-um?"
Then he would sigh kick out with both
feet and call:
"Tha's all ri; m wake"
But the boy would hammer away until
an explosive voice exclaimed:

The bell boy began to wonder at first
Then wonderment spread in the dining
room and out to the clerk. Finally the
stranger was stared at on all sides. But
while ne was awakened every morning at
6 O'Clock, he always ate a o'clock break
fast.
The other night he paid his final bill.
He was so pleasant over il that the
clerks curiosity took rein.

"WeI, why the devil have you had us

OH and the strangers face lighted up.
Say, that's the greatest scheme! I'm on
vacation, you know, and I've been spend

I'm called every morning at 6, so as 10 get

SOME LATE NEW THINGS.
Recent Inventions Which Have Been
Introduced TO the Public.
From the Chicago News.

The use of q crossed drive chain,
running over driving pulley and an
adjustable idler pulley and then around
pair of drums attached to the front
and rear axles of the car, to be used
instead of toothed gearing in propell-
ing the car. has just been patented.
The power used is electricity.
An invention which will prove use
full to ticket agents or any one having
a large number of tickets to be disposed
of rapidly is a case to hold the ticket,
in the side of which is a spring slide,
which, when pushed toward the end
of the box, brings the tickets out
through a slot one at a time, one side
wall of the box being held by springs
in order to keep the tickets pressed
against the side.
One of the most novel excavating
machines of recent date has been pat
| ented by a North Dakota man and
consists of two immense earth augurs,
attached to a portable upright frame
and operated by power, the augurs
bringing the earth to the face, where
it can be shoveled to one side. When
the excavation is deep enough the ma
chine is moved forward to a new sec
tion of ground. Another style of the
same machine has a horizontal augur
