A funny thing happened In the Audi
forum Annex. Some one actually be-
came enthusiastic enough 10 make Q :
speech. Il was not very long speech, 1
but 1t was Just as welcome.
Let me ask you, gentlemen, why
should there be tinkering with the.
tariff at this timer" the speaker cried,
Tell me why" he repeated.
There was silence, which. or !.
course. was proper. Just as the,
speaker was about TO answer himself. :,
fussy little delegate from Indiana.
piped up. What | want TO know iss,s
where I'm Sam Hill Is my wife?''
And yet he protested vigorously !,
when big delegate damned his hat
over his head and hustled him to the
background.

Chauncey N. Depew appeared inyi'
the lobby last night and attracted con-
siderable attention. Everywhere he =
went he was pointed out and on alp
sides could be heard comments on hisN
smile. Mr. Depew owes his thanks 10 ~
cartoonists and banquet reporters for
the fame OF his smile. Many people
who don't know whether he Is state
senator or a United States senator are
fully aware OF the fact that he Is

IN WEBSTER THE
CANDIDATES ARE QUIET
Only Sheriff'S Race Af-
fOrdS Interest.

Sumter's sedate and good neighbor,
Webster county, declines to get ex-
cited politically, and thus far the
candidates for Office can be counted
upon ones fingers. All of the old
courthouse officials will offer for re-
election, and thus far no opposition
in any quarters has developed. The
race. for sheriff alone affords interest
and attention. Sheriff J.W Montgom-
cry, one of the best officials in the
state, has not yet offered for re-elec-
tion and it is not known definitely
whether he will run again. Should he
do so his friends, as heretofore, would
rally to his standard. In the mean
time there are three other avowed
candidates for sheriff in Mesrs. RI.
Nicholson, G. A. Drew and J. c. Nc
Eachern, and these are making an
active campaign. All are wellknown
citizens of Webster and will poll a
good vote. Even the legislative race
in Webster, as in Sumter, develops
little interest. AS yet no one over
there has announced for Webster's
seat in the house. Hon. G. G. Tracy,
who represents the county in the pres
ent Assembly, may offer for the house
again, although he has not done so
as yet.

DELEGATE FROM
STATE AT LARGE
Hon. Crawford WheatIey
Announces Ills Candidacy.

Hon. Crawford Wheatley will be a
candidate for the position of delegate
at large from Georgia to the Nation
al Democratic, convention at Denver
on June Z. Mr. Wheatley authorized
the official announcement yesterday.
Until recently Mr. Wheatley had in
mind to offer for the position of
delegate from the Third District, but
friends all over the state have been
urging him to accept the higher place
While it would have af-
forded Mr. Wheatley pleasure to
represent his own district, in the
role of furnishing a legate-at-large
the Third District will be even more
conspicuous.
The selection of delegates will be
made at the state convention which
meets in June Each congressional
district is entitled to two delegates,
and the whole state to four
Mr.. Wheatiey is one of the best
known young Democrats in Georgia.
He has been member of the Legisla-
ture and has made the race for con-
,gress. His high ideals of politics
have won for him the admiration of
those who look on public office as a
public trust.
With the solid support of the Third
district delegation already assured,
and with his hosts Of friends over
the state who will doubtless be well
represented in other delegations, Mr.
Wheatley seems to be an easy win

FAVORS GRAVEL IN
PLACE OF BRICK
Mr.. A. ". Smith Says its
Better and Cheaper.

Mr.. A. w. Smith, President Of the
Bank of Southwestern Georgia, thinks
the bonds should be issued, but ear
nestly advocates the use of gravel,
with which Jackson street is paved,
in preference to brick or asphalt. At
equal cost, he favOrs the gravel, while
it can be put down at about one
fourth of the cost of brick. He said
yesterday:
II am opposed to paving with brick
Gravel is the best of all, like Jack
son street to the SeabOard station
Such a material is better on stock
and will not cost more than one
fourth the expense of brick Jackson
street was graveled some years ago
and has been very little expense in
the way of repairs. The bonds will
of course have to be issued. The
election settled that. There are
but two better streets in the United
States than Jackson street. One is
in Montgomery and the other in
Richmond, and both are made of
gravel [ also believe that if the
money spent for street hands to
throw up dirt to be washed away by
the rains were expended in graveling
the streets that in few years the
whole city would be provided with
the best of streets And they can
be kept in good shape at small ex-
pense. l am in favor of placing the
bonds and then using the proceeds to
gravel the streets"

RANKS OF OLD HEROES
ARE THIN IN SUMTER
twenty-five Died Within
Two Years.

That the ranks and file of the
grandest army of heroes the world
has ever known is fast answering the
roll call beyond the river is shown
in the mortuary records of Camp
Sumter, U. G. v, 642, of Americus.
This camp, has an average enroll
ment of more than one hundred mem
bers, but the thin ranks of gray grow
rapidly thinner with each succeeding
year. The fiscal year of the Camp
dates from June 1st, and since that
date last year ten members of the
Camp have passed away. From
June 1st, 1906 to June 1st, 1907, twelve
old veterans crossed the river, maxi
ing total Of twenty-five deaths in
as many months The world has
never known such an army as the
100000 SOutherners enlisted under
the Starry Cross, and soon these
grand old heroes who followed Lee
and Jackson, Forrest and Johnston,
Pickett and Gordon and other lead
ers, will be but a sainted memory.
For the world-the South the home
of the chivalric and only pure-blood-
ed American,-WiH never know their
like again.

LETTER WAS NOT
SUCH BUGABOO
Joe Brown Answers Gov.
Smiths Explanation.

In his reply to Gov Smiths Deca-
tur speech, Hon. Joseph M. Brown
said in explaining the letter which
had been given as the reason for
his discharge from the Railroad Com
mission:
Seeing therefore that he would
make himself foolish by assigning for
my suspension the above two rea-
sons wherein his campaign words
had condemned ME but his official
acts had justified me, he was driven
to find another reason and what was
it?
THAT [ had written him letter
which he had refused to unseal and
read
True, he did not avail himself of
the opportunity literally in his
grasp of opening the letter and find
ing whether or not it was couched
in respectful terms, or whether it
was vituperatively abusive. The
method by which l sent the letter is
often adopted in business circles to
ensure the personal reception of
special communications; and that,
without the courtesy of slight eXer-
ton of opening it he should have
assumed that my adopting that mode
of sending a communication intended
for his personal attention was of a
threatening character was childish.
Nay, the mere fact that it was sent
by an officer of the State who, in the
discharge of his sworn duty had dar-
ed to question the infallibility of that
august one who had pursued him
for two years with unprovOked and
unJuStihable threats, was an affrOnt
and insult!

JUBILEE DAY FOR
LAST SPIKE ON RY.
". A. DodSOn. Esq.,, Plan
ming for Big Event.

Americus is to have a Jubilee Day
sometime this summer or fall.
1t is to celebrate the driving of the
last spike on its electric railway
w. A. Dodson, Esq, who was the
father of the movement that resulted
in the Pennsylvania capitalists com
ing to Americus is also the father OF
the proposed celebration.
1t is his intention to make the day
a memorable one when the last spike
is put in the track.
In all probability a great barbecue
will be served, there viii be speech
making of a congratulatory and joy
full nature, and outturn of thousands
of toWnspeople and people from the
country about Americus.
1t is hoped to have some of the
capitalists interested in the company
in attendance and it may be that prom
inent speakers can be secured from
elsewhere.
Bill" Dodson has got the right idea.
The occasion is one Worthy of celebra-
ting, and the celebration will be one
worthy of the occasion.
