railroad, but had nothing to say
against his old enemy, the Southern
railway, which calls to mind Tom
Watson's charge about the secret
conference between Governor Smith
and Chairman McLendOn on the one
side and President Finley and Bar
bour Thompson of the Southern on
the other side.
1t is yell known that the Governor
and the Southern railroad, which he
denounced so vehemently in his cam
paign two yeays ago, are now on the
most cordial of TENS, and that the
Southern is supporting him for re-
election.
Some of the Things the Governor
Omitted to Explain.
On the Joe Brown page which the
Governor started out to answer, in
the first column, at the top of the
column, in bold type, it was charged
that the Governor had violated the
law by allowing 100000 of the peo-
pies money to be deposited in the
Neal Bank when the law says that
not more than 100000 shall be de-
charged that while this excessive de-
post was in the Neal Bank the Gov
ernor executed a note against the
State of Georgia in favor of the Neal
Bank for $4,000, which note was
negotiable, and of course liable to
get into the hands of innocent pur-
chasers.
Although this was the most promi-
nent article on the page it was treat
ed with silence by the Gov
ernor. Possibly he regarded it as
a JOKE. We recognize that such
droll subjects do not mix we'll with
such a speech, and regret, to call at
tentiOn to it, and would not have
done so but for the fact that the
Neal Bank failed, leaving the people
of Georgia with the bag to hold; and
We wouldn't have near so much of
the bag to hold if it hadn't been for
the violations of the law .by our Gov
ernor.
The Governor told us that he had
collected $574,000 extra taxes out of
the railroads, and we learned with
out his telling us that he had levied
considerable other extra tax out of
the general public, all of which was
not referred to by him. Our ad va
loren tax is 20 cents per thousand
higher than ever before, which
amounts to about 100000 more ad
valorem tax that we are paying than
ever before. He increased the tax
rate to the highest limit allowed by
the Constitution of Georgia, some
thing no other Governor ever did.
He has also levied license and oc-
cupation tax on almost every kind of
business, including $4,000 on the
Farmers Fire Insurance Co., which
we never had to pay before, and yet,
for lack of funds to pay them with,
the CONFEDERATE VETERANS
ARE DEPRIVED OF THEIR MON
Ely.
Why didn't he explain to us what
he is doing with all this public mon
ey, which amounts to about three
quarters of a million dollars more
than we have ever paid under former
administrations as state taxes?
We had referred to some items OF
it-such as the Neal Bank losses
and the eXtravagant Railroad Com
mission, and the track walkers re-
oeiving $500 per month, but this
doesn't account for near all of it, and
we don't pretend to have inside infor-
nation as to what is going with all
If this money.

POkes Fun at the Farmers.

Is the straw ballot an offshoot
from the ayseed?-Atlanta Journal.
Two years ago the Atlanta Journal
thought great deal of the straw bal
lot. Now it associates the straw
ballot, apparently in derision, with
the 'hayseed," otherwise the farmer.
Ihis bit of grim humor was doubtless
intended for its city circulation, and
was carefully kept out of its weekly
edition.

The best authority ON the matter
of increased freight charges on cot
ton to Savannah are the figures them
selves, which have been produced
and we defy anyone to disprove them.
There is no further truth to be
sought, but simple defense of the
truth is all nat is necessary in the
matter of increased rates on Geor-
Ria's crop to the extent of $780,
600.

Ergo, to write of some of London's
splendid and historic playhouses, and
some of the newer shows being pro-
duced late last August and early in
September would be superfiuous for
London readers; a few reminiscent
notes of some of the greater successes.
best known theatres and actors OF
widest repute may not prove wholly
without interest, to your readers. For
here were blooming numerous OF those
newer productions which must supply
the winters amusement for this nerve

at least of which will fash at US here

Ushers are Women.
l will assume at the outset that most
people are aware that the London
uSherS and attendants are all wOInG1-:
that at least "six-pence' is charged for
the program which with US goes free
with the admission, and that il is pos
sible to have a cup of hot tea and
cakes served TO whoever lists between
the acts, and that the stage is less
elevated than rs the case with us, the
result being that the very front row
of seats Is quite as desirable as those
further back.
At Days the mTch-diScussed "Mer-
~ Widow" was immensely popular
and, half told, half sung, afforded a
merry evening indeed. Aside from
the worth of the lines, which fairly
drip the honey of LAUGHTER, and the
merry, gieeful music. he excellent
work of Constance Dreven as the
widow, is fairly confirmed, if not sur
passed, by that of Robert Michaels as
Prince Danilo.'

stately playhouse to grOan, it being

this pretty woman in a state Of ser'1i-

The Largest of Play Houses.

At the great Alhambra, Lcndon's
largest-possibly the largest in the
World-variety theater, an act was
given in which II young women, dis
robed a Ia Maude Allen, initiated her
treatment of the John-the-Baptist cpl
sode. One OF the most startling OF
Miss Aliens acts is where she pre-
sents the head of the decapitated
preacher on a platter, and NOODLES
and caresses the disgusting object ad-
nauseum. The II young women,
squatting as did their prototype, and
each with a head on charger,
squirmed about the floor of the great
stage of the Alhambra, and while thus
engaged. by invisible wires or cords
attached to the grueSOme objects of
their alteration. these suddenly were
twiched back behind the scenes, the
merry maidens sitting disconsolate
and alone, greatly to the merriment
of the audience BY the way, the Al

here assemble the frail sisters and
seat themselves at the tables in the

male person to assume the liquidation
OF their order for liquids. The best
of order, is however, maintained and

come necessary for the members OF
this act to hike to the train with their

away they found it necessary to as
