WE ABDICATE.

As will be seen elsewhere, The New
Era has become the prbperty OF Jay
+. johnson, who now has full control,
commencing this week. Five years
ago last month We established this
paper and have managed it uhtil this
time. From a very small and uucer-
tain beginning II has grown to be a
prosperous and desirable property.
Its growth has been so great and rap
id that TO handle IL taxed our strength
too heavily. and We felt 1t our duty
to retire, which, with many thanks to
the good people Of Ordway for their
generous support, we now do.
In introducing our successor, Mr..
Jay II. johnson, we feel that we have
placed the The New Era in good
hands, and that he will win the good
VIII and friendship of all our people.
We commend him to your friendship
and support.
In regard to oursclf, we have no de-
finite plans, We expect to remain in
Ordway for a considerable time and
may be permanently.
Wishing prosperity to you all, we
remain respectfully yours,
c. B. STEWART.

HOKE SMITH WORKS IN LOBBY.
GporGIs's Governor Nearly prectpttates
Riot I'm the Legislature.

ATLANTA. Aug. IS.--The General As
sembly of Georgia adjourned at 4 o'clock
this morning almost in a riot after being in
continuous session nearly twenty hours.
The trouble was due to the hard 1ght Gov.
Hoke Smith made 10 put through measures
which he nae promised the people in his
campaign last year and TO The presence
of the Governor in the lobby iD the interest
of his measures.
The hardest fight was over the bill in
creasing the powers of the Railroad Com
mission and giving the Governor the right
to appoint two more commissioners, thus
making it's membership Ave instead Of
three. At present the commission In hostile
TO Gov. Smith. lie has only one man on IL,
but he will control it under the measure
which he forced through. This five mem
Der bill provoked the riot. The House
indorsed Il, but IL was defeated in Senate
at 3 o'clock this morning. Friends of the
bill moved reconsideration and o Smith
got 30 busy with certain Senators that
reconsideration was ordered and the bill
was saved by a vote OF % TO Fl.
Then the storm broke and Senators began
to denounce the Governor for lobbying.
Attacking Gov. Smith. Senator Hayes said
Il have seen member who are against
this increase ~buttonholed and toe trodden
around his building all night 1t Is g dis
grace to the State"
senator Flynt said: If railroads had done
what has been dom on this floor within the
last few minutes a CRY would have zone up
which would have been undying. This
vote shows that Senators who ten minutes
ago voted against the increase have been
changed. | would resign my seat in the
Senate before ] would be whipped into line
10y the lash of the Governor"
Senator Hayes was especially bitter
He said: ~In the years l have served the
State as a legislator I have not seen the
agents OF a railroad or any other corpora
ton act az I have seen the agents Of the
Governor act in this Capitol Tonight, and
1 wish to say that were ] Governor of Goor-
gia and had I preached against lobbyists
on every hilltop in the State l would not be
the first to deserve the name"
Gov. Smith secured the passage OF only
two Of his reform measures. the disfran-
chisement bill and the bill strengthening
the Railroad Commission. The prohibition
bill which was passed was not one OF the
Governors measures. Tit Governor
failed 10 secure bills against lobbyists and
free passes. Anti-lobbying and anti-pass
bills passed both houses. but failed be-
cause the House and Senate could not agree.
The Governor also failed to get through
his bill putting an income tax OF I per cent.
on the gross receipts OF railroads and other
public service corporations.
