TIM SULLIVAN'S PLATFORM
Why Tammany Is Irresistible in
New York.

Well led, Tammany Hall is irresist-
ible in New York. We doubt if there
is any political Organization in the
world that has so cleyerly reduced pol.
itics to fine art. 1t embraces men of
all creeds and nationalities One secret
of it's success is tue interest the lead
ers take in the individual members of
the society and, outside the power of
association, it has broad and compre-
hensive charity. The latter quality,
however tiuged with seltishness, is
worthy of imitation. IL may be best
illustrated and explained BY Congress
man Tomothy d. Sulliyan's platform,
which is short, sharp, decisive and
practical. Here it is in the congress
mans own language:
eff boy is-going to the bad we give
him good counsel to do better; If man
is out of work we bestir ourselves to
get him a job; if neighbor is in hard
luck we help him; if a daughter mar
ries we dance at the wedding, and if a
member of the family dies we go TO the
funeral"
The enemies of Tammany give it
bad name but if every organization
was built along the same lines, this
world would be better and brighter

SALE OF TAGS IS BRISK.
Amount to $4,000 in Fifteen or
Twenty DAYS.

"The sale of fertilizer tags is brisk, "
remarked Assistant Commissioner of
Agriculture Wright, "and indicates
that the farmers are making plans for
a big planting season.
"Within the last fifteen or twenty
DAYS we have sold about $4,000 worth
of tags, which, though the numbers
are not so large as to be unusual, indi-
Gates that great deal of fertilizer
will be sold this year. On the last day
of 1903 we got check for $4,000 for
tags, and another check for $1,000 to-
day.
"We consider such sales this early
in the year as good signs for the com

THE LAST OF THE M'AFEES
FAMOUS CHICKEN PIE HOUSE PASSES
INTO NEW HANDS.
One of the Most Noted Hotels in the
South UndergOes Change. Chicken
Pie Cut Out of the Menu.

The McAfee house at Smithyille,
the dinner house on the line of the
Central of Georgia railway, fourteen
miles north of Dawson, passed into
and strange hands Thursday, and for
the first time in the memory of the
living chicken pie was not included in
the menu of the midday meal.
THE McAfee House Is one OF the
most famous dinner houses in the
south. It's fame is due largely to the
fact that for years and years chicken
pie and scuppernong wine were served
every day for dinner" SAYS the Alba,
ny Herald. "The father of the pres
ent owner of the house set this GUS
tom, and in leaving the hotel to his
son at his death he stipulated in his
will, according to common report, that
these two articles be served every day
for dinner so long as the house re-
NAMED in the hands of the McAfees.
"The grape crop was never so scant
that the customary glass of wine was
not given the guests at the hotel for
dinner That is, up to few years
ago, when the prohibition sentiment
of the county interfered with this part
of the bill of fare and wine was cut of.
! The son who had inherited the hotel
| from his father stuck to the chicken
/ pie custom, however, with a tenaoity
that is indicative of the great rever-
ence he has always borne to the men,
DRY of his departed father. Chickens
might become so scarce that no one
else in the country could possibly get
them, but still chicken pie was served
at the dinner table of the McAfee
House. There is not a chicken in this
country today that will not shiVer and
fee with fright at the mere mention of
the McAfee House.
"Y asterday Mr.. J. H. McAfee gave
up the management of the hotel, hav-
ing leased it to Mr.. G. G. King OF Pei
ham. The first official act of the new
manager was to cut chicken pie off the
menu of the everyday dinner. 1t is
said that there was much consterna-
tion among the old servants and the
old patrons of the hotel yesterday
when the dinner was served and chick
en- pie was non est. IG was hard for
some Of the patrons to believe that
they we're eating dinner in Smithville.
With Mr.. NcAfee's imposing presence
absent from the front porch of the ho~
tel and chicken pie missing from the
dinner table it was difficult for one to
realize that it was Smlthville.
Mr., McAfee has given up the hotel
in order to spend the remainder OF his
DAYS in the peace and rest of quies
home. He has earned enough to re-
tire from active business and live in
comfort all the balance of his days.
He has many friends among the trav-
cling public who will wish him long
life and all happiness during his re-
naming years. AS drummer put il
yesterday, Mr.. McAfee was friend
of the travelling men; he always gave
them warm hand and-chieken
pie

Cam Small, an editorial writer OF
the Atlanta Constitution created a

,nr to the effect that they would

Immediately after delivering his ul'
4 u, Mr. Small went to the white
bonse 60 see the president, with whom
bo said he had been in communication
with for some time regarding The Con
.,imt,oD's editorial policy on the
canal question.
He stated before leaving the capitol
that his purpose in visiting the presi-
dent was to tell him of the political
situation in Georgia, but it is under
stood from other sources that Mr..
Small asked the president for job, and
il is said he mentioned the job of rail-
road commissioner recently made va
cant by the death of General Long
street. The Georgia senators were
exceedingly indignant at the attempt
to force them by threats to vote for
the treaty. and neither of them would
talk for publication on the subject.
"The matter is of such nature that
we do not feel in a position TO talk
about it" was all the statement they
would make.
Several parties in the marble room
we're witnesses TO the affair, however,
and from them it was learned that the
senator's gave the editor to understand
that they could not be influenced in
their course by any mans or any
Newspapers threats, and that the best
thing he could do would be to take
himself out of the capitol.
Neither senator has indicated how
be would vote on the treaty PROPOSE
zion, as both are waiting TO learn all
the facts pertaining to the part the
ChlIeQ States played IN the revolution

The ultimatum in writing, which he
handed to Senator Bacon, was substan

loose in Georgia; you will be thrown
out OF Office together with others OF

purified with new deal all around"
