TRAVEL is LIGHT

Mr. J. w. HightoWer, travelling rep
resentative of the Peters Cartridge
Co., has just returned from a bust
ness trip to Cincinnati, trip he takes
every year about this time
Travel continues exceedingly
light said Mr.. HightoWer, in speak
ing of his trip.
Usually in going out of Atlanta for
Cincinnati, or in returning, it is nee
essary to get berth a day or two be-
fore to make sure of it. That has
been the rule in previous years at
this season But this year it was
not necessary. There were ample
berths to go round. Going west
had six companions on the sleeper and
coming back there were seven. The
railroads are certainly suffering in
their passenger end. 1 am satisfied OF
that from what [ have seen"
While business is not very brisk
at this time in the middle west, Mr.
Hightower found that the public was
getting more sanguine and that the
expectations were that as the year
developed business would assume nor
NAL proportions and the gross results
of 1908 would be far better than was
anticipated sixty to ninety days ago.

RETIREMENT OF JUDGE CAM.

Chatham county suffers a decided
may be-in the retirement from the
bench of Judge George T. Cam, of
the Superior Court
Judge Cam has served but a few
years, four or five, but he has steadily
grown stronger in the esteem and
confidence of the people until today
it is doubtful if any combination of
politicians that could be made would
be successful in defeating him. He
has made errors, doubtless, just like
all judges have done, but throughout
he has convinced the public that he
sought but one thing, the character
of an upright man, aiming in his judi
icfal capacity to do his full duty with
out fear and without favor. His
court has been marked by a simple
dignity that. compelled respect and de-
monstrated that the external badges
of official position resorted to in other
countries to influence the public mind
are not necessary where the judge
has a proper conception of his posi-
ton.
Chatham has had a number of dis
tinguished men upon its bench dur
ing the last twenty-five years. The
polished A. Pratt Adams, who in
quiet, simple, yet effective dignity
reminded one of the present incum-
bent; the genial, lovable, kind-souled
Falligant, whose memory will linger
green in Savannah for many years
to come; Barrow, of keen mind, un-
falling courtesy, vast resources of
knowledge, legal and general, and
now Cam, broad-gauged, dignifled,
studious, thorough, widening the
scope of judicial influence in the
community, intrenching his court
more strongly than ever in the conf
dence of the people whose bulwark
it is, and even has been.
Chatham has no reason to feel other
than proud of the men who have
adorned its Superior court during
the past quarter century. In all the
maelstrom of its politics the court
has been kept out of the centre of the
storm influences. 1t is well that it
should be kept SO and that the en-
viable record of the past should be
repeated during the coming years.

A GOOD THING FOR GEORGIA

Without rejecting in the slightest
degree on the ability of Gov. Smith
Smith, We believe that it is a good
thing for Georgia that Hon. A. S.
Clay is to be retained in the United
States Senate for another term. The
announcement of Gov. Smith that he
will be a candidate for a second term
as governor, and forego the senator
ial honor for the time being, removes
any doubt that may have existed as
to the return of Senator Clay to
Washington for another six years.
1t also, we believe, entirely eliminates
Gov. Smith from any probability of a
seat in the senate unless death re-
moves either Bacon or Clay
1t was far from a foregone cOnclu-
sion that Gov Smith could have de-
feated Clay for the Senate The gov
ernor has been steadily losing ground
throughout the state This was APP
parent to any one who travelled to
any extent and discussed the matter
with the people generally. Senator
Clay has a much stronger hold on the
people than the governors aides per-
haps gave him the credit of having.
He has made a very acceptable sena-
tor to the mass of Georgians and even
a reform governor with very few re-
forms actually to his credit would
speedily have realized that the path
to the senate was not so easy as it
may have seemed from the executive
Office window at Atlanta.
Senator Clay has made an excellent
representative of the people at the
national capitol He has been faith
full in the performance of his duties
small as we'll as large. He has sedul-
ously sought to promote the interests
of Georgia. While he may not have
made any great speeches on the con,
stitutionality of the Panama canal

Our Capital
City Letter

Without fear of the unpleasant
ness which marked his last visit to
Washington. Gov. X. O. Pindall
is preparing for visit to the nat
ions capitol next week to attend
the Governors Conference. He
will leave here probably next
Sunday and be gone week or ten
days, returning in time to prepare
his list of Christmas prison COM
mutations. Gov. Pindall is one
of the committee of 100 which is to
wait upon President Roosevelt.
Gov. Pindall expects to tell the other
governors of the good things in
Arkansas as we'll as enlighten the
world upon the natural resources
of the state. He will be accom-
panied by number of delegates
to the deep water convention. The
last time Gov. Pindall went to
Washington, Speaker Allen Ham
tier, of the house of representatives,
his rights, came to Lit
tie Rock and took the position
made vacant by the acting govern
or leaving the state, calling spec
ial session of the legislature. Gov.

basket ball, to create an enthusias-

ty to the school and the city not
possible to be created by any other

Not only have the schools and
students been immensely benefited,
but the entire citizenship of the
community has been stirred to an
appreciation of the fact that the
schools are a real live factor.

Pindall, hearing of this move, has
tened back to the state, and Gov
Hamiter abdicated the throne with
out remonstrance. The speclal
session of the Legislature was pre-
vented through persuasion OF the
leading politicians of the state
though all the politicians were on
the ground. There is no speaker
of the house now, Speaker Hami-
ter's term having expired, and no
successor yet having been selected,
so Gov. Pindall will leave with
the assurance that he will find
things as he left them when he
returns.
