the cough continued until l bought a

WHY THE DELAY?

Other Georgia municipalities are
placing bonds right along, but it
remains for Americas to let all OPP
pOrtunities slip by to dispose of bonds
authorized long ago for street paw
ing.
Last week Athens sold $4,000
of school bonds at handsome pre-
MUM, and the same city is pre-
pairing to place on the market an
other $4,000 of sewer and water
works bonds.
Quite an Improvement has been
made in the last few weeks in the
bond market, such securities finding
generally a ready sale. The PennsyI-
vania Railroad placed $40,0OO,O0O of
bonds recently on advantageous
terms
Americas needs the paved streets,
as we'll as the money which would
be turned loose in their construction.
1t would certainly do no harm to
feel the market and if it were dis
covered that the present rate provid-
ed for the paving bonds is too low,
then another election could be held
and the rate raised to 5 per cent.
Why this delay?

HOT SHOT FROM SEELEY

With that utter disregard for the
truth that seems to have characterize
ed many of the acts Of those interested
in advancing the cause of Gov. Smith,
the charge was made in Atlanta that
large block of the GeOrgian's stock
was owned by the l.. & N. Railroad.
The Atlanta Journal used the charge
perhaps it could best tell who orig
mated it-as a basis for further COW
ert attacks on the Georgian. The
Georgian's reply is TO the point. Edi-
tor Seeley does not mince matters
but uses language that means some
thing. Here are some choice ex-
tracts:
No man or set of men ever at
tempted a more dastardly crime
No newspaper ever was party to a
lower, more depraved lie than this
attempt to drag the name Of the
Georgian in the mud.
The Georgian is not now and never
has been owned, controlled or inf1uen-
ced by any corporation of any kind in
the world, not a share of the GeOr-
gian's stock is owned outside except
two parcels of ten shares each that
were given to two of the Georgian S
staff as reward for their faithfulness
and loyalty, and these twenty shares
are so written that their holders have
not the right to dispose of them to
and one but the Georgian Company.
a majority of the stock of which is
owned by myself and the remainder
by Mr.. E. w. Grove, my father-in-law.
The Georgian does not need the
railroads money. We now have in
vested in it quarter of a million dol
lars and as we still have plenty left
we would hardly be likely to sell our
birthright to a corporation just for
the fun of it.
Neither the Georgian nor it's own
ers individually have ever borrowed,
asked to borrow, allowed to be loan
ed to them or used in any way, form
or fashion for the Georgian or them
selves so much as a penny of money
from any corporation or railroad
whatsoever.
Is there any other paper in At
lanta that can show the same rec
ord?
Come, let's make it real strong.
Any one with real cunning would
have prepared a better program than
this. They would have considerable
fact that the Georgian if it had need
ed the money could have accepted
more than the amount mentioned in
liquor advertising in the past two
years-which it has let go as the
price of character and convictions
They would have inquired far enough
to find that the publisher of the
Georgian has probably in the past
25 years travelled two miles for ev-
cry one that either candidate for
governor has, or any man who had
anything to do with this Matchmaking
scheme, but that he has never in his
life ridden mile of it free and that
he has had the pleasure of returning
| passes sent to him-declining with
thanks-that there has been a stand
ing order since the founding of the
Georgian that no man in the employ
of the paper may ride on passes and
retain his position; that no man may
have in his house free telephone and
| hold his position; that no man may
color the news or aid in printing any
thing but the truth. Come, gentle
men, the people of Georgia would
| like your records on these things
| Amy skeletons in your closets?

Roosevelt Fears Johnson
New York Heraid,)

Gov. John A Johnson's Washington
press bureau, which began operations
yesterday, launched today it's first
boombshell into the Bryan ranks by
asserting that the administration is
greatly disturbed by the possibility
that Gov. Johnson, and not Mr.. Bry-
an may be the Democratic nominee
for President.
This perturbation is based upon the
allegation that until this time neither
the President nor any other Republic
can leader has figured anybody but
Bryan as the Democratic standard
bearer, and hence they are put to the
necessity of changing all their plans
if another candidate is named. The
statement issued by the Johnson men
says:
THAT the administrations advis-
ers are uneasy because of the perist-
ent reports in Washington of the
growing strength of Johnson, Of
Minnesota in the fight for the Demo
cratic Presidential nomination devel-
Oped here today.
THE president has been told there
is a growing sentiment for the Min
nesota man, and Roosevelt would
be less of a politician than he is if
| he were not somewhat disturbed by
the rumOrs. AS a matter of fact, the
administration leaders have made
| representations to him that it would
be a much more serious task to try
to elect Taft over Johnson than it
| would be to put the OhiOan in the
White House over Bryan.
Among JOhnson's Washington
friends it is pointed out as his
best recommendation for the Demo-
cratic nomination that several callers
at the White House today took the
trouble to warn the President that
with the MINNESOTA governor against
| Taft the outcome of the November
elections will be doubtful thing.
One visitor pointed out that with
Bryan as the nominee the State of
| Maryland would go strongly Republi-
can, while with Johnson as the Demo-
cratic head of the ticket, it would
in all probability be Democratic

bar was not disposed Of until the
law closed the institution, and drew

In the language of Sam Jones, q
am wondering if he will stick" on
this proposition.
DR.. Landrum, the eminent Baptist
divine, says: Governor Smith has
never said that he was converted to
the principle of State prohibition as
against local option prohibition. He
will not say SO. Why? Because he
is not converted. The Atlanta Jour
nal has not been converted, neither.
Mr.. Reuben Arnold, the Hoke Smith
orator, has not been converted Mr.,
Robert Griffin, the chairman of the
Hoke Smith Fulton county Club, has
not been converted. Mr.. Thomas Eel

buster, the HOke Smith leader in

Will he "stick?"
He will stick for the time to
those things which will promote his
selfish ends only, and at the time that
is necessary to stick in order to
carry forward those ends.

Smith says the negroes have been
advised to go to the polls on June 4th

Isn't the governor hard put to it to
set up such a scarecrow as that. Who
with the slightest grain of common
sense believes that any one would
give such advice to the negroes or
that the negroes would dare to do
such thing. 1t is such talk as this
that is turning intelligent voters
against the governor. If that is all
the argument he can put up for a
reelection he should voluntarily
withdraw from the race Let's have
