SENATOR CLAY TAKES NOTICE.

From the Macon Telegraph OF Sunday.
Senator Steve Clay called up the
Telegraph yesterday by long distance
phone in regard to the interview with
him by Mr.. Steve POstel and The
Telegraph'S editorial that followed in
the nextissue, and said that while hewas
a personal friend of the president and
in many ways admires him as man
nothing was said by him which was
intended to convey the idea that he
favored the abandonment of the dem
cratic party; that he was democrat,
that he had always been democrat,
and that he would always be demo-
crat as long as the party did not de-
part from democratic principles.
Mr.. Clay had not seen the article by
Mr.. Postell, and seemed to have got
ten a wrong impression of it by read
ing the editorial, which latter was
largely intended to be general as well
as somewhat specific.
The Telegraph thought it about
time, an opportunity being given, to
call halt in the talk of certain news
papers which seemed to US TO mean
the abandonment of the democratic
party.

THAT JOINT DEBATE.

The Atlanta Journal reports that
Hon. Hoke Smith ate Judge Dick Rus
sell up alive in the joint discussion at
Monticello, while all of the other daily
papers of the state are unanimous in
saying it was a great debate in which
both of the candidates made the fur
fly and acquitted themselves we'll.
And that's about the truth of it. A
sufficient answer to the claim of the
Journal is that although Judge Rus
sell, at the conclusion of the debate in
Monticello, urged Mr.. Smith to meet
him at several appointments he had
made, naming the places and dates,
he is now speaking by himself. The
fact is, Judge Dick Russell is a great
campaigner, and there is nobody who
knows it better than some folks who
are close to the Atlanta Journal.
Keep your eye on Judge Dick!

FORCES OF SMITH AND HOWELL SCRAMBLE IN FULTON
Heads Were Cracked Smith Crowd Nam
the Howell Crowd It's
Latter Seem to

The Hooks Smith and the Clark How
ell factions clashed Friday night in
the organization of the Fulton county
5arocratic executive committee. We
cannot hone to get a fair report OF
what took place from either the ATTAIN
ia Journal or Constitution, but the
following from the Atlanta cores
pondent of the Savannah News IS
probably an impartial ana true state
ment of the affair:
ATLANTA, Nov. 3.-TwO county eX-
ecutive committees with chalrmen ana
other officers were chosen at mass
meetings held tonight at the court
house as a result of the preliminary
skirmish between the Clark Howell ana
Hoke Smith forces in Fulton county.
There were several fights and one
or two broken heads as a result OF the
meetings, particularly that one held
inside the court house, at which the
Hoke Smith committee was elected:
Chairman d. n. Mccullough OF the ola
county executive committee called
mass meeting to be held in the supe-
rior court room tonight for the pur-
pose of electing a new executive com
mittee.
The Hoke Smith forces, led by mem
bers of the staff of the Atlanta Jour-
nal, got up plan to corner the meet
ing. They corraled some 800 or 4OO
men, even bringing in veterans from
the soldiers home, and banked them
in front of the court room door before
6 o'clock, though the meeting was
called for 1870. This would have en-
tirely filed the court room and left no
space for the members of the other
side.
Chairman Mccullough then deter
mined to call the meeting to be held
outside the court house. At 1873
o'clock Chairman Mccullough an
nounced in the court room that the
meeting would be held in front of the
court house steps, as the court room
would not accommodate all who want
ed to get in.
Some of those in the room tried to
prevent Chairman Mccullough from
getting out. They wanted to forcibly
detain him and make him mold the
meeting there. But he was determined
that ali should be given chance, and
shortly after 80 o'clock called the
meeting to order from the court house
steps.
The crowd outside the court house
is said to have been the larger, though
both sides are claiming the crowd.
Many of the Howell men were unable
to get out. and were detained at the
Smith meeting held inside the court
room. The Smith meeting proceeded
TO organize in the court room, and
elected J. +. Maddox, wholesale
grocer. as chairman, together with a
full executive committee. Mr.. Maddox
is recognized as the Smith candidate.

1s ROOSEVELT A BETTER DEMOCRAT
THAN CLEVELAND OR BRYAN?

have done the slop-over act so effu-
sively to be regarded as safe or alto
gether sane political guides.
Think of it seriously. What would
a republic come to without an opposi-
ton political party? Where would a
bold, able, ambitious president lead
to without a check?
If President Roosevelt dererves the
support of the democrats of the coun-
try for a third term-if party lines
are to be lost - then the logic of it all
is that those who first found him and
made him vice-president and then presi-
dent displayed the greater wisdom
and foresight, and our democratic
senator's and governors and congress
men should get down from their Off
cial perches and give lift to the orig
inal Roosevelt men.
Gentlemen live up to the logic of it
and come off, or else get about the
work of repairing the democratic
trenches. Macon Telegraph.

A DAY FOR THANKS.

Following the usual custom, Presi-
dent Roosevelt has issued procla-
nation for the observance of Thurs
day, November Both, as day of gen
eral thanksgiving.
There is undoubtedly occasion for a
feeling of thankfulness over the entire
country. Material blessings have
been manifold, and peace, plenty and
prosperity are beautifully evident.
1t is indeed a season for sincere
Thanksgiving. Let's don't forget to
do our part toward making it day
of happiness and thankfulness for
some others less blessed than our
selves.

FIELDER RECOGNIZED AS CHAIRMAN.
Many Members of the Maddox Committee
Have Refused to Serve.

ATLANTA, Nov. 4.-Secretary J.
w. Goldsmith of the state democratic
executive committee tonight gave out
a statement for publication in which
he says that he will enroll the commit
tee headed by Tom Fielder as chair.
man. Secretary GOldsmith's state
ment is as follows:
my duty in the premises is, of
course, perfectly clear. | will I'M
questionably enroll on the official list
of state committees that one from Full
ton county which is certified to me by
the last chairman of the county demo-
cratic cOmmittee-Mr. Mccullough. A
chairman is the authorized head of the
county organization. He has full au-
thority to call a meeting and name a
place for the election of a new commit
tee, and it is his duty to certify to me
as the state secretary the name of the
new chairman and the new committee.
The committee SO certified will be en-
rolled by me on the official list, and
unless the matter is appealed by the
other side to the state democratic ex-
ecutive committee it is, of course, to
be regarded as a closed incident. If
the other side appeals the state com
mittee will at its meeting, which |usu-
ally takes place in the spring, no
doubt give the whole matter due con-
sideratiOn.
Fortunately, | was witness to the
whole, proceedings Friday night. 1t
was preposterOus to talk of accOmmO-
dating the little court room such an
immense throng as gathered around
the court house. There was but one
possible way to let every body have a
chance, and that was by an oDen-air
meeting, and to me it seems as if
Chairman Mccullough had NJ other
alternative, in the interest of fairness,
than to do as he did"
Another interesting feature Of the
situation is that eleven memDerS of the
committee headed by Joseph T.. Mad
dox, and elected by the supporters of
Hoks Smith, have declined 10 act in
that capacity.

FARMER LEWIS.

Mr.. w. G. Lewis of Houston county
won in premiums at the recent fair in
Macon 81, 26O. That is certainly a
record to be proud of, and both Mr..
Lewis and Houston county are to be
congratulated.
Houston is one of the best counties
in Georgia. 1t is famous for its fine
farms and fine people. 1t is an old
county, but it is a progressive county.
Best of all, Mr.. Lewis is a progress
i've farmer, and has shown by his
enterprise and effort just what great
diversifcation and abundant yields
the Georgia soil, when properly cult
waited, is capable of. Georgia farm
ers are just beginning to realize the
vast possibilities of their holdings.
1t is indeed a great state-truly the
empire state of the south.

SENATOR CLAY is quite Teddy
admirer He is quoted as saying that
if Roosevelt runs again he will have
no opposition. The able and popular
junior senator surely must have beer
misunderstood, and not correctly quot
ed. If he was. it is strange talk
for a high democratic official in the
democratic state Of Georgia, and will
likely need to be explained to demo-
cratic constituency some time in the
future.
The Terrell county farmers are too
busy gathering their crops and SOW
ing grain to bother about who will be
the next governor. And they're right.
Sow grain! 1t will help your lands,
and replenish your provender supply
and purses. The job of electing a
governor can be attended to next sum

At the same time the regular meet
ing called by Chairman Mccullough
was organized in front of the court
house and elected T. B. Fielder, Jr., as
the new chairman, together with a
full committee. Mr.. Fielder was gen
orally recognized as the Howell can

The lines were distinctly drawn be-

THE CIRCUS AND THE CHILDREN


A circus holds as much genuine
pleasure for the children, perhaps, as
anv other thing in the world. Indeed,
it brings more Joy to them, doubtless,
than anything except the Christmas
delights. If there's a circus in town
Inc children ought to be taken to it.
You will never grow too old to re-
member how the food gates of happi-
ness were opened for you as boy or
eirl when you found yourself under
Inc big circus tent. From the posting
of the flaming announcements of the
Dig shows coming uptil you craned
your neck and finally heard the there

rade YOU lived in breathless anticipa-
ton which, as the long line of ele-
chants and camels and mysterious
cages, the gorgeous, glittering pa
geant passed, was intensified to
white heat of youthful eagerness to
get under the big tent. And when you
did get there and took in all the Won
ders of this wonderful world the antic-
ipation was every whit realized. You
dwelt upon the glory of it for days
and weeks afterward
Many of us-in fact, the most of us
if we are grOwn-ups. have not lost our
interest in the circus. The ardOr and
eagerness may have worn off, but is
a pleasure still to go to the circus.
But to those who have grown callous

tered this reminder of how they used
10 feel. Think OF it orce more, and

HAPPY TIMES :

The poet who wrote the lines about
the sad autumn days was certainly ig-
qorant of the JOYS of the cane grind
ing season.
This happy time in south Georgia
has fairly begun, and the temperate
revelings of both young and old
around the juice giving mills and
sweet, steaming kettles is fraught with
pleasure and delight.
Cane grindings mean hay rides,
laughter and light-heartedness, fun
and frolic. Romance, too, comes
often out OF these same cane grind
ings.
Yes, indeed, it's a season of Joy all
round: and everybody's glad it's
come.

THE TERRITORIAL FAIR
Permanent Mining Display Will Be a
Feature

Judging from the nature of the re
plies received by the Territorial Fair
association from mining companies and
from those interested i'm mines it would
seem that they most thoroughly appre-
ciate the opportunity of making a per-
manent exhibit of the mining products
of the territory. The fact that the ex-
hibit will be cared for permanently has
been great point in arousing interest
in the same. The replies received to
the advertising circulars have not, how
ever, all been regarding the mining ex-
hibit. Mr.. Tiffany, the manager of
the speed department has received
many inquiries as well as Superintend-
ent Clark regarding other departments
of the fair.
At present the association is prepar-
ing premium lists of all of the depart
ments and these will be completed at
an early date. The general fair cata-
logue is also in course of preparation.
One day of the fair week has been set
aside to be known as "Hassayampa
Day." Prize premiums will be offered
such as one for the couple who have
been in the territory the longest, the
couple who married first in the terri
tory and have been here ever since; the
oldest native son and daughter and the
oldest married couple.
Watson Pickrell of Tempe has been
appointed superintendent of the cattle
department and as he has had much eX
perience in the show cattle business il
is anticipated by the officers of the fair
that his department will be made an
especially attractive one to visitors.

SOUTHERN PAClFIC'S
PROPOSED EXTENSIONS
reap Nonsense Being industriously
Circulated by the Different
Territorial Journals

vi course the following report comes
from Phoenix, which burg builds more
railroads. on paper, on original but UNI
copyrighted lines, than all the corpor-
atoms in the United States combined
"A new railroad that will tap some of
the richest farming communities of the
territory, a number of the most prom
lslng mining regions and one of the
greatest timber countries in the United
States, is soon to be built. The pro-
posed road will be an extension of the
ella Valley, Globe g. Northern from
CODE to Jerome and Flagstaff. The
new road will open up a new country
and will give shorter route to the
great Mogollon forests by connecting
with the Arizona Eastern, the line now
constructed to connect with the ella
Valley road at Bowie. An extension
will be built from Phoenix to Yuma, as
has been previously announced, and the
main line of the Southern Pacific will
be changed.
The survey made several years ago
which was to extend the G. V. G. & N.
to Jerome and Flagstaff was abandon
ed as impracticable because no suitable
grade could be found. The recent sur
veys which are at last deemed feasible
by the Southern Pacific engineers will
probably not go many miles nearer Je-
rome than the tracks do today that is,
Globe. st. Johns might be somewhere
near, but the route makes for the
eastern line of Arizona and the western
line of New Mexico about as straight
as it can go from Globe. The objective
point is the shortest and straightest
route TO the Colorado and New Mexico
coal fields.
The country it will pass through is
rich in minerals and there are some fine /
agricultural valleys capable of produc-
ing fine crops. Tucson would be a
more reliable source of information
than Phoenix, because the people who
IAN say have headquarters there.
