A ROAD SURMISE.

A paper devoted to the building OF
good roads suggests that one reason
why so many young men leave the
country for the city is because the
country thorouglfares are bad. The
boys. = it says 'leave the farm because
they don't wish to take the mean old
thing with them when they 90 to the
city. Bright boys may prefer to live
| in the city rather than on the farm for
the reason that with the miserable
roads found in most communities to be
removed a few miles from town means
almost complete isolation from the cen
ters Of thought and activity"
This is a far-fetched theory. When
the roads were much worse than they
are today the boys, in greater numbers
remained at home in the country. Be
sides. in rural districts where the roads
are frst-class the same exodus is wit
messed. We think that the principal
reason is that young men are lonely in
the country, especially after having
tasted of city association, diversion or
dissipation. Some leave because they
think there is better opportunity for
making money and advancing in com
mercial or professional lines. We
know of a~young man in a Georgia vii
lage or town who had a fine plantation
of his own, and yet he became fascina-
ted with Washington, d. c., and pre-
ferred a government clerkship, where
he was cooped up from 8 a. m. to p.
m. Oh, the roads, good or bad, have
nothing to do with it. The boys get
bewitched with city life or they see
better prospects, or think they do

When Democratic newspaper sug-
gests a new leader for the party, VIII
liam Jennings Bryan's Commoner gets
up on his hind legs and howls. Any
other leader than Willie is out of the
question, and the newspaper which
suggests a change is a t-er-ratur. But
the Belshazzer feast is about over. The
handwriting is on the wall, and it
spells oblivion for the Nebraskan. AS
a well known Tennesseean used to say,
"He's below the ford" and nothing
can save him from drowning. The
Democratic masses are sick of his fam
tastic leadership. They are looking
for Moses to lead them out of the
wilderness, and they are not seeking
him west Of the Mississippi, either. IL

REELECTION OF SENATOR CLAY

the houses for United States senator
and declared Hon. Alexa II Ter Stephens
Clay elected to be his own successor
in the senate of the United States for
the ensuing term of six years.
Without opposition in the democratic
primary and with three republican
votes cast against him in the legisla-
ture, Senator Clay returns to Washing
ton with the practically unanimous in
dorsement of the people of Georgia.
His past service of six years has been
Of such carefulness, righteousness and
patriotism as to win for him easily this
high token of the confidence of his
fellow-citizens. He has made himself
a force in the senate and commanded
its attention and respect for his views
on the leading issues that have been in
late years before that august body. He
has diligently looked after the inter
ests of Georgians, and so established
his position as a popular representative
in the upper house.
This reelection is in its spontaniety
a well-merited honor and will help to
assure the nation that in him they see
a Georgian both beloved and trusted
by his people, That he viii continue
to reflect honor upon the State and do
valiant service for the democracy and
the nation at large is unquestioned by
any who know him and his loyal rec
