GOOD ROADS ARE BETTER THAN
POLITICS.

Dougherty county is taking the
lead in the construction of perman-
ent highways in this section, and
her new roads will be at once a
model and an inspiration to other
counties in Southwest Georgia-Al-
bany Herald.
The county that constructs good
roads cannot be held back. The very
Improvement of its highways assures
its continued development Good
roads are not only an inspiration to
other counties, but, what is more i'm
portant, they are an inspiration to
are constructed. They put new life,
new determination, new ambition, in
to him. He speedily gets better
horses and better wagons and better
stock in all lines. His farm takes on
a better look, his home wears a newer
and brighter aspect. 70 man wants
to live on a good road and have dill
apidated, run down, unkempt-looking
place for passers-by to see. Good
roads men enthusiasm at home, the
place where frequently it is most
needed
We have terrible lot of politics in
Georgia, but unfortunately, a mighty
small lot of good roads. If we could
swap things we would be far better
off. If the enthusiasm now wasted on
lot of men running for jobs could
be expended on good road campaigns
the state would move on with trem-
endous pace. But lots of men who
can talk all day about their can
didate, quit work to go to meetings,
expand their lungs with yells for
their favorite, and waste many hours
drumming up votes for him, are too
tired, or too Indifferent, or too ignor-
ant, to take hold of a thing that really
means something to them, thing that
is for their own personal benefit, and
the benefit of their families The pol
iticians give them the glad hand, get
the offices, and then forget that they
are living. But the good roads stand
by them day in and day out. They
are there for continued service. Bet
ter good roads than politics every
time.

TIE Corpse, Not HOke, the Attraction

A serio-comic incident that has
caused some amusement, and goes to
show that at least some of Governor
Smiths mistakes are attributed to
his foolish friends, is being told in
North Georgia since the Governors
recent oratorical tour
When on his way to Gainesville
where he spoke last Wednesday morn
ing, the train on which the chief exc
cutive was a passenger stopped at
Kennesaw, where large crowd was
gathered about the depot. Ralph
Smith, the Governors man Friday"
and Inkslinger General, was rubber
ing out of the car WindOWn and when
he saw the people promptly ran. to
his chief with the news that another
ovation was on foot. The Governor
smilingly followed his scribe out
upon the platform of the coach, where
he DOTTED his combredo, assumed his
campaign attitude, and graciously nod
ded his august head. Not a cheer He
was an unknown hero.
Realizing that the crowd did not
recognize the Big Gun" with the nod
and the smile that was rapidly wear
ing off, Ralph Smith dropped from
the train and circulated among the
crowd telling the glad news that the
"Gov'ner" had camel but still no
cheers
Ralph was non-pulssed, but not dis
mayed. He saw his chief turn from
the 'ungrateful'' rabble' and march to
his seat. Then some one in the
crowd informed the organ correspon-
dent that the Governor had mistaken
the purpose of the gathering. A man
had been killed by a freight train a
little while before the Governors ar
rival, which sad fact was the cause
of the congregation of citizens.

lMonltrie Obserrar.l

Colonel Robert j. Lowry of Atlanta,
thinks the time has come when BUSH
ness men should have something to
say about the law making for the
state and the politicians should be
sent to the rear Col. Lowry is GER
tainly right. The business man has
been taking far too little interest in
politics The banker, the merchant,
the teacher, the preacher, the small
manufacturer, and the farmer have
taken very little time to do more in
politics than to lineup" with one side
or another the one that happened to
appeal to their prejudices at the time
Consequently the laWyers-most of
whom are politicans-have run away
with the politics and law making ma
chinery When a man lays his plans
to get an Office he either gets UP a
platform of ultra conservatism which
appeals to the railroads and big cor
porations whose help he needs and
whose servant he is willing to be-
come or he gets up a radical, social
9ql Oh s4u9s9Ld gu qo!QM 9Uu9q0s 0QsT

by their aid he gets thunder obliga-
tons to serve in Office the men who
put him in. The middle classes and
and the people who are
best equipped for the legislative work.
who are not extremists and who have
no prejudices are willing to tie on to
the kite of one of the two factions and
put themselves in the attitude Of en-
dorsing them The middle classes"
have only themselves to blame for
the state of affairs They have been
too busy trying to make money to
take the interest in public affairs that
the state needs and deserves of them.

An Eleventh Hour Conscript.

The only thing Mr.. Smith has done
relative to prohibition in Georgia is
that he signed the prohibition bill,
which had passed both branches OF
the legislature by three-fourths ma
jority, which made it a law in spite
of Mr.. Smith. Since signing the bill
Mr.. Smith has advocated the drink
ing of wines and beers at our tables,
and as a would-be prohibitionist con-
tinued the Piedmont bar until the
strong arm of the law proclaimed
thus far and no further Who
would you name as a leader-a vol
unteer who enlisted while the battle
was raging with odds against our
cause, or conscript at the eleventh
hour? BY their fruits you shall

are to pass on my conduct as a pro-
hibitionist my resignation is at hand.

''The American Government is Now
Ready.

We have just published work
entitled THE American Government"
edited by H. C. Gauss, Esq. Mr.
Gauss is a trained journalist at pres
ent occupying the responsible position
of Private Secretary oAttorney Gen
eral Bonaparte.
This book not only gives a list Of
all offices of sufficient Importance to
be filed by Presidential appointment
and subject to confirmation by the
Senate, but complete statement of
the powers and duties pertaining to
each Office and the salary attached
thereto. How many Americans are
there who could tell precisely what
the powers and responsibilities of the
United States District Attorney or the
Collector of the Port are, and the
extent of power vested in the hands
of Bank Examiners and the Comp
troller of the Currency, and to what
work of reference could they turn for
full information upon these sub
jects?
This book contains information
upon points of law, procedure and
custom not known to many of even
the best informed citizens. Not many
know that the terms OF the Post
master General and the Comptroller
of the Currency extend month
beyond the term of the President
who appointed them, and that the
Postmaster General, unlike other
Cabinet officers, can be removed by
the President only with the consent
of the Senate. Few know the United
States Senators and Representatives
have right to select, subject to the
passing of examinations, cadets in
the Naval Academy, but have no
such right with reference to the Mil
itary Academy, for which their selec-
tons are merely advisory the Presi
dent having the sole power of APP
pointment. These and many hundreds
of other facts as little familiar are
brought out in this useful volume.
What American travelling abroad or
contemplating going abroad but
would gladly know the duties and
powers of the American Ambassador
and Minister, the Consul General and
the American Consul; what their dut-
les are not only to the Government
they represent, but to American cit
zens who visit the countries to
which they are accredited as we'll.

but was astounded at being told by

The Dougherty Joe Brown Club Is
Getting Busy.
albany Herald.)

The Dougherty County Joe Brown
Club is up and doing" and it will not
be its fault if Dougherty's vote in the
state convention is not cast for the
Cobb county man.
AS will be seen by reference to
notices scattered throughout this is
sue of The Herald, a Joe Brown rally
will be held at the court house next
Friday evening. All friends of Lit
tie Joe" are invited to be present, and
others will not be excluded. There
will be speechmaking by friends of
Mr. Brown who know how to "whoop
'em up" and there is no reason to
doubt that the occasion will be full of
inspiration for Brown enthusiasts.
In the mean time, there is no reas-
on to believe that the Hoke Smith adj
herents in the county are asleep. 1t
is understood that reorganization of
the Hoke Smith Club of Dougherty
County will be perfected tonight at
to be held in one of the
rooms of the Davis-Exchange Bank
and "the war will then be
on" The contest of two years ago
will long be remembered in Dough
erty county, and the present, while
happily much shorter, gives promise
Of proving quite as lively fight.

Does He Mistake the People?
Macon Telegraph

The Governor has been absent from
his Office now for three or four weeks,
allowing it to run itself, while the
Nobody Ito use Smiths own word
against whom he is daily declaiming
on the stump, is staying quietly at
home, and not disturbing the people
at all except by an occasional letter.
If Brown was actively campaigning
and arousing public sentiment by
personal harangues to the people
there might be some justification for
the Governor to leave his Office and
go out to counterfeit it. But is there
any justification for him to do so when
Brown is not doing anything of the
kind? Is the Governor afraid to trust
the calm judgment of the people to
determine the issues on a plain writ
ten statement of them? His course
indicates that he is and that he is
relying on the power of orathory
rather than the strength of the facts.

Officials of the Treasury department
have been mystified by the receipt OF
a number of letters asking for $685..
It was finally ascertained that the
misunderstanding arose over the
publication of a newspaper article to
the effect that the money in circula-

person. Not having that much on
hand, writer's evidently concluded
chat Uncle Sam was holding back.
