Wants Money From Congress.

bright member of the universal Smith
family. sojourning in Washington. is Mr..
George A. Smith. president of the Macon,
Ga, Chamber of Commerce. who is a
guest at the Riggs House. Mr.. Smith is
here to urge Congress to appropriate
money for public building in his home
city. and he feels fairly sanguine of sue
ceeding in that mission.
I'VE have a spirited gubernatoral cam
paign en- said he. in answer to the
queries of a Times reporter Those
who know the inside of Georgia politics
are predicting confidently that our next
Governor will be Hon. Joseph Terrell,
former Attorney General of the State.
One of the candidates. Mr.. Query, is run
ming on straight-out prohibition plat
form. do not believe that the voters Of
our State are ready, as yet. to endorse
prohibition. We have local option law
and that is about as far as the people are
ready to CO. Out of 1871 counties in Geor-
gia, about 100 are in the dry category now
and fully as much intoxicating liquors are
consumed in the dry counties as in the
wet.
The experience of Maine and Kansas
in the prohibition business hasn't been

MI. Rhea Has Stanch Friends.

The Hon. John Rhea will probably
have little vacation from Congress, but
he will come up smiling in the next House
with majority behind him so large that
contest will be ridiculous" said Mr..
r. a. Dickinson, of Bowling Green, KY,
at the Ebbitt.
His constituents. in seeing him ousted
from his seat. as they believe, unjustly
will extend themselves in November, and
there is not a Republican in the district
that will stand any show against him.
When a man is pounded away from home
his friends have a way OF squaring things.
and so it will be in his case. There is
also latent feeling that he was made
to suffer because of his support of the
late Governor Goebel. Whether this be
true or not. the impression exists. and it
will add to Mr.. Rheas strength in the
next campaign"

THE President has US all guessing as
to what he intends doing in Hawaii"
said Mr.. B. l.. Whiteside, a prominent
merchant OF Honolulu, at the Shoreham.
we thought few weeks ago that
Col Sam Parker was sure of appoint
ment to the Covernorship in the near flu
ture, but Governor Dole still hangs on
to his office and strong pressure is be-
ing brought to bear on the President to
retain him. l am taking no sides what
ever in the contest. My opinion is that
Governor Dole is a man of high eharac-
ter. and that under adverse conditions
he has made a very good executive. Col
oreI Parker is extremely popular. He Is
a man of lavish generosity. and. being
native born. knows the affairs of the
country thoroughly. His appointment
would give great satisfaction TO large
numbers of our people.

Open Door Assured.

Il was in London the day the news

treaty between England and Japan" said
Mr.. s. Taknshira. an educated gentleman
of the latter country, stopping at the
Shoreham.
Il conversed with several Englishmen
of my acquaintance. and found them re-
joicing over the compact. They looked
upon it as pretty sure check to Rus

China. In this view they are doubtless
correct. Russia has no friendship when
1T comes to carrying out schemes Of am
bition. Her aims are selfish and grasping,
and she would quickly grab every foot of
land in China did not the Powers re-
strain her.

japanese alliance as a good thing If it

the triple combination would be potent
to preserve the peace of the world and

In most things said Mr. Klotz, the

English system is superior. The point
has been often made, and, to mind cor
