THE CENTRAL's NEW PRESIDENT


Mr.. John NJ Egan is now president Of
the Central of Georgia Railway. His
election was not a surprise. 1t was eX-
pected, not only because he was IN the
line of promotion, but also because of his
fitness for the position As vice presl-
dent he gave great Satisfaction. Having
had long experience as railroad man
and having occupied very responsible
places in some Of the most important
railways in the country, he was admir-
ably qualified for the duties of vice pres
ident Of the Central. And he is fully as
well qualified for the higher position of
president.
Mr. Egan has made a host of friends in
Georgia He is approachable and frank
and is anxious that every one who has
business with the company or is employed
by it, shall be dealt with fairly and just
ly. He is popular with the company's
patrons and with its employees. That this
is true is shown by the fact that from the
time the filing of the vacant office of
president began to be discussed it seemed
to be agreed that he would be promoted
to IT,
As already stated, Mr.. Egan is not only
an experienced railroad man; but he is also
a man of strong character, broad views
and excellent business ability. He will
not confne himself to the routine duties
of his office He will have constantly in
mind plans for the development of the
property He will introduce economy in
operating the road where it can he in
troduced to advantage and will make
the most of every chance for increasing
the volume of the roads business. Sew
eral feeders to the main line have al
ready been constructed, or are in course
of construction, and much has been done
in the last two or three years to develop
the territory tributary to the road.
Mr. Egan has the good will of all who
are interested in the Central and their
hearty wishes for his success. Some able
men have directed its affairs. II is not
doubted that Mr. Egan viii make a rec
ord that will compare favorably with the
records of the most successful of them.
More of a surprise than the election of
Mr. Egan was the making of Maj. j. f.
Hanson of Macon chairman of the board
of directors, because ii was not expected,
but it was a gratifying surprise. Mai
Hanson will be a very important factor
in the company. He will have charge of
its finances. No better selection could
have been made. Maj. Hanson is man
of great force of character, and one Of
the most successful business men in the
state Besides, he feels a personal pride
he will be a great contributor TO its sue
cess
We feel sure that the action taken by
the board of directors yesterday will be
approved throughout the state. The flu
ture of the Central promises TO be pros
porous.

The surplus from the war revenue
taxes goes on piling up in the treasury.
Every dollar that stops in the treasury
vaults is a dollar Withdrawn from the
channels Of trade, and from performing
its proper functions, at a time when
there is great activity and a need for the
cash in the circulation. Should this sort
of thing continue for any length Of time
the effects would be seriously felt in
commerce and the markets. Nevertheless
Congress hesitates to withdraw the war
taxes Is it because che congressman de-
sire that there shall be an excuse for
them to make lavish appropriations?

Arnold White, the English author, wants
a word to replace "colonists" as descrip-
tive OF Canadians, Australians and South
Africans. He points out that "colonists"
is not good enough and is resented. Mr..
White thinks "Britisher' might do. The
same want Of a word exists on this side
of the ocean. We have lately become
possessed Of q number OF inhabited Isl
ands, an acceptable designation for whose
people we sorely lack. We cannot even
call them "colonsts," since a republican
government cannot hold colonies. nor can
we call them Americans, because Amer
lean" without the rights guaranteed by
the constitution would be a misnomer.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Qnd) says: The Pennsylvania Demo-
Gratis are guilty of a most absurd perform
ance in declaring for direct and forcible
intervention in the Boer war by the COM
bined republics of the world, and in the
next paragraph declaring against an In
crease in the standing army. Intervention
in the Boer war against great Britain
means war with Great Britain for the in
tervening Power, and the United States
could not well go to war with so formid-
able a nation without an increase in its
standing army. its volunteer army and all
other branches of its military establish
ment. The season of extravaganza has
clearly begun in our presidential politics"
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem) says:
congressman generally are not over
anxious to do away with the war taxes, as
they would prefer to spend the money.
The people, however, who have to pay the
taxes, would like to see the taxes reduced.
They would especially welcome the aban-
donment of the troublesome stamp taxes,
which. aside from the burdens they i'm
pose, are the source of endless inconve-
nience and annoyance. The stamp taxes
are felt by all the people, and should be
the first among the war measures TO be re-
pealed."
The Jacksonville Tlmes-Unon and Cit-
zen Dem) says: Senator Bacon of
Georgia already sees a fight ahead of him.
The Georgians will keep trying til they
find another Ben Hill. but did not Hill
grow? If they insist on finding one ready
made they will encourage competition
among equals to the loss of decided supe-
riority and miss that best service in the
Senate which can best be assured by IA
miliarity with the ways of Washington
and the hidden depths of legislation.
The New York Press (Rep). thus drops
into rhythmic comment: Victoria wears
the Shamrock while across the Irish sea,
and Bryan wears the sunhower, for a prai-
RE man is he. The Frenchman wears red.
white and blue. but ne'er a feur-de-lys;
Mckinley wears the golden rod; for the
golden standard-see? George Dewey
wears a Laurel that no one can take from
him, for his chance Of being slandered a ,
candidate is slim"
The Birmingham Age-Herald Dem),
says: "At the recent election in a Kansas
town the men turned the women officers
out because they did not carry out their
promises to make It impossible 70 buy
drinks IN the Town. The women had heard
that protection promises were never
made TO DE carried out"

IN Missouri a woman has brought sun
for divorce alleging incompatibility. The
leading specification is that her husband,
who is a rich man. neglects and refuses
to wash his hands and face oftener than
once a week. 1t seems that on Monday,

household performed perfunctory liba-
tiOns. which were expected and required
to last him through until the next wash
day. and no amount of persuasion would
induce him to change his custom and

unlikely that Senator Hanna has had his

After working for twelve weeks at IS
per week as messenger in a bank, young
Honore Palmer. son of Millionaire Potter
Palmer of Chicago, has given up his job
and gone off to a fashionable resort 90
rest and recuperate. 1t was said the
young man had gone into the bank to learn
the business, from the bottom up.
Whether he learned it in twelve weeks,
from the distance at which a messenger
views it, Is not stated. The probabilities,
however, are that the young fellow came
to the sensible conclusion that he could
make better use of his time otherwise than
in running errands.

State Fair Attendance Yesterday Eclipsed That
of Wednesday Year Ago
It Is Estimated That $4,000 People Enjoyed the
Delights of the Day and Evening
Programmes Yesterday

fractions yesterday at the fair did credit
to the day. There was something for
everybody to enjoy aside from the ex~
hibits, and the buildings where these lat
ter were housed were crowded all day.
In the morning the strains of the First
Regiment band f1oated over the grounds
and a fine programme of stirring num-
hers was played by it. The music made
everyone feel jolly, and even the in
creased warmth of the weather appeared I
to be no drawback to the happiness OF
the crowd. The state fair is a busy place. /
From the time the visitor passes through
the turnstile until he is on the car re-
turning homeward, there is not moment
of his time that is not spent In examining
something new or curious, in being in
structed in something that will be of
value to him, or listening to something
that will give him pleasant memories to
carry away with him. If his heart Is
wrapped up in stock and the like, he is
sure to wend his way the first thing over
to the stalls where the sleek cattle are
waiting to be admired. If he is interested
in poultry day is all too short to spend
among the excellent specimens of the
feathered tribe that are exhibited at the
fair. If he is at heart farmer, he will
wander contsntedly in the big building
where every good thing that grows In
Minnesota can be found. In one respect
this forty-frst annual state fair differs
! from any of its predecessors. and that is
in the number of women visitors who
are interested in the exhibits heretofore
admired almost exclusively by the men
Women visitors seem to know the good
points of poultry and of cattle, and do
not hesitate to express their opinions con-
cernfng them.
