The New York Sum- always untiring in its search
for genius and eager to make known its discoveries
offers the following contributions of Georgia poetry:
Harry Stillwell Edwards of Macon, who has
never had thought that not chaste and beau
tfu has changed the name of the hooking bird to
'lanier.' Maze Scrobbs of COwaneta is helping in
the good work:
"'Poet without peer,
Whose song in bright, strong waves

Even Dr. G. A. Nunally withdraws his name as
candidate for Governor in alliterative rhythm:
"T forgive all the foul false and foolish
filings Of my foes.'"
GAS for John Temple Graves that fountain of

"'Graves editorials, in their matchless beauty,

ever-blOOming rOse.'"
"'The Lindale Lance changes into flute:
"'The Georgian freshens sanctum every day

choir of poets, with Mr.. Graves to lead. And water
million time is still to come"

of Birmingham, who will probably be candidate for
the place, said: 'Our people are willing-put it

may cold-booded, but in reality it is not. We
honor these two great men, and we love them fully
well, but know that they can't last always and
want the people to have the power of choosing
