With this issue, he whose pleasant
duty it has been for the past few
months. to occupy the position of asso-

able leadership of its capable editor,
will sail on into the future, continuing
to gain, rs it has in the past, honor,
glory and value as it advances in age
and gradually nears that goal of success
which it desires and deserves.

to suggest continuance of these cour-

relations and ties of friendship which
have existed between higu and the

There is no reason to doubt the state

service against crime and illegal liquor
selling in the past, has evoked the en-
nifty Of large number of people

1t has become apparent that very de-

people is to be made during this session
of the General Assembly to repeal the
charter of the lesgue and 80 cripple the
power of the organization and it's
officials that it will lose its effectiveness.
1t is the expectation of those opposed
to the league that they can bring such
influence to lear upon this Legislature
~ to insure the passage of the bill.
They will meet. however, with stubborn
opposition by the league and its many
friends. Superintendent Traster re

league enjoys the confidence and friend
ship OF every good and law-abiding
citizen in the state and to handicap it's

upon the character and reputation Of
the state. We have evidences all

the late Mr. Shakespeare knew what he
was talking about when he made that
observation, and we also believe that
the bead of King Edward VII is no ex-
eeption to the general rule. He is the
king of a great realm and emperor of
India. This is great honor but with
it comes great responsibilities which
would disturb the peace of mind of an
Angel Gabriel. The Boer war is the
thorn in the British lions side at pres

prolonged anxiety. Reports of Boer

WILL NAME NORTHEN.
IT Brown Resigns Ex-Governor Will Be a
Railroad Commissioner.

Atlanta, Mch. l4-It Pope Brown
resigns his position as one of the rail-
road commissioners to make the race
for governor, as has been announced
repeatedly from time to time, Former
Governor VIM. j. Northen is slated to
succesd him,
at least that was the talk at the cap
itol this morning when the matter came
up for discussion, when several of the
CLANS gathered to talk over the poIiti-
cal situation. Governor Gambler and
the former governor are very close
friends, and Governor Northen being
farmer, he is perfectly eligible for
the place. The law requires that the
railroad commission shall be compossd
of farmer, a lawyer, ars,Iroad man.
AS the commission stands at present
Judge Atkinson lie the lawyer, Poue
Brown the farmer, and Tom Crenshaw
the railroad man. Mr.. Crenshsw ia 20
be succeeded by Gunby Jordan of CO.
lumbus, who is well known In the rail
road world.
There are all sorts of political speou-
lation going onrat present, and Cover
nor Northen seems to be the pick fer
Pope Browns Office, il that gentleman
givee it up. 1t is not known whether
Governor Northen would accept the
Office, but his friends believe that he
will. In fact, he was in consultation
with the governor yesterday, and this
lends strength to the belief.
Governor Gambler announced this
morning that he hoped there would be
no designations ss it would be q great
relief to him-fIling vacancies is diff
1oult undertaking.
