bean A, that's the new name of our pet rail
road.
The lowering of the flags on thousands OF
buildings and hundreds of ships is truly tribute
to the memory of the great man, Grover CleVe-
land. but nothing like the tribute paid him by the
press of Georgia
The report is already on the rounds that
Joseph M Brown will not ask second term
as governor Augusta Chronicle.
We hope that he will and that governor Smith
will be the candidate to oppose him.
The men who make money out of the convict
leases will be very busy about the capital the next
few weeks. They will have lots of friends who
will have lots of money to pay for the near beer or
nearly anything else that looks like that it wants
to be paid for.
We Dragged too soon.
Tn common with many papers of the state we
have been Dragging of the splendid record as TO
criminal assaults since the saloons were closed In
the state. and now comes from Wayne county
terrible blot on the page that has been kept so
m@
Athens and Dalton and other Georgia cities
have been making war on the CANNES In Athens
more than 100 of the flea breeders have bit the
dust In Dalton according to the citizens the
blood thirst against the dogs has been satlated.
In other Georgia towns the vagrant dogs have
found hard rOa DIS to travel.
Mr., Brown, with his characteristic modesty,
remained out of the convention hall. There
was no disposition on his part to control or
dictate over the deliberations of the cOnven-
tion. He remained at the Kimball house dur
ing the day and received visitors and delegates.
--Moultrie Observer.
All kinds of excuses are given as to why the
people have not been allowed to see and hear
Mr.. Brown. My, my! Have the people oil
Georgia elected man chief executive whom
they are ashamed of!
The Press ought to be satisfied because, MI
Browns ''modesty' is characteristic" andwe can
prove it. And he's no Dictator he wouldn't die
tate letter to good looking stenographer.
Browns peach-with worm in it.
The distribution Of the fruit crop is as impor-
gia have already paid hundreds of thousands OF
dollars for experience that ought to be valuable to
them. but this season we understand that lack
of system has resulted disastrously to many
growers
Sundays Constitution tells us of proposition
TO organize business association in which the
growers are the stockholders, and with each grow
er contracts for the handling of his fruit.
Such an association has been organized at
Grand Junction, Colorado, with results that are
, nothing short of marvellous. Starting ten years
ago, with a paid-in capital of only $1,000, the
Grand Junction fruit growers, whose community
is no larger than that located in Habersham coun-
ty in this state, have built up capitalization OF
$780, OOO get the highest prices record for their
fut and have increased the value of fruit lands in
that section from $500 to 81 600 per acre. which
for the last five years there has been earned net
profit of 2O%.
Joe Brown stock has declined more since
the day of his election, a fortnight ago, than
did the popularity of Hoke Smith the first
twelve months after his nomination Mr..
Brown could not be elected today. Even be-
fore the convention it is generald realized that
a great mistake had been made-Fitzgerald

Probably theNgreat mistake" which worries

tor Mercer Prinson Commissioner. But both
sides can't he haDDV over the reSult-MacOn
