SAYS IT WAS A FABRICA TON

false statement that Governor Brown
had personally advised Congressman
Griggs of his intention to run for
governor again, and that thereby he
had grievously punctured Griggs am
bition to become governor in 1911.
The Journals statement, as might
have been expected, was purely the
Vaporings of the super-heated imagi-
nation of one of its staff, thoroughly
possessed of his paper peculiar idea
of what constitutes good newspaper
work. The governor never made
such a statement, Griggs never said
he made it, and no ambitions were
shattered.
OF course the Journal had the sat
isfaction of temporarily creating
some talk. But what good was that
in comparison with the further lost
prestige, the feeling of disgust that
comes over the public when the re-
alization is pressed upon it again
that the Journal cannot mend it's
ways; that nothing appearing in it
dealing with Georgia politics can be
credited. 1t is to be regretted that
what is otherwise a great newspaper
should be so sadly marred by lack
of decency in dealing with state po-
litical affairs.

HEAD-HUNTING.
Cruel Practice Is Still Followed il
the Solomon Islands.

Cruel Practice Is Still Followed in
the Solomon Islands.
Head-hunting is as much BUSH
ness in some parts of the world to-
day as it was 100 years ago, not
withstanding attempts by civilized
governments to stamp out the prac-
tice. In the Solomon Islands, in
the South Pacific ocean, head-hunt-
ing is still extensively followed; and
the efforts Of the Germans and Eng
lish, who divide the control of the
islands between them, have abated
the cruel system but little. The
practice seems in some way to be
connected with the religion or super
stitiOus rites of the natives and on
that account is the more difficult to
suppress.
On some of the islands slaves are
kept for their heads, and whenever
the latter are needed they are
promptly stricken off. Some of the
chiefs follow head-hunting on large
scale. They make raids in large war
canoes upon neighboring islands and
cut off the heads of the unfortunate
people who fall into their power.
The heads usually are decorated in
a fantastic way, and are placed as
ornaments in and about the homes
of the chefs as an object lesson of
their proWess.

SOME COMMENTS ON THE STORY.

From the Albany Herald.
If you see it in the Atlanta Jour
nal, and it relates to Governor Brown
or Guyte McLendon, it is we'll to take
It with a grain of salt When we
read that statement in the Sunday
Journal, in which it was alleged that
Governor Brown had told Congress-
man Griggs that he would be can
iidate for governor again next year,
and that the congressman ) own am
billions in that connection were
clipped, etc, ETC., we had our doubts
about the truth of it, andssWe were
therefore not surprised at the state.
ment given out by the governor, sup-
plemented by one from our genial
congressman, denouneing the whole
story as a fabrication from begin
ming to end The people of Geor-
gia have about learned that when
Governor Brown has an important
statement to give out he does not
select the Atlanta Journal as the
medium through which to make it.

From the Lazy Bug.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-Miss Susan
Lawrence Davis, hygienic expert OF
New York, stopped here en- route
east from a trip through the south,
where she had been investigating the
hookworm disease. She is in posi-
ton to speak authoritatively con-
corning only certain sections, but her
Investigations thus far tend toward
the conclusion that there are no
more, if as many. hookworm victims
in the south than elsewhere
Miss Davis spent two months in
Madison and adjoining counties in
Alabama investigating hookworm
conditions. Her observations have
covered the states of Texas, Missouri,
Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia, South
Carolina, Ohio New York and the
District of Columbia
She found relatively fewer suffer-
ers from such parasites in the south
ern than in the northern and eastern
states.
MY observations have shown, :"
said Miss Davis, fully ten times as
many sufferers from the parasites
in New York as in the factory dis
trict of Alabama, which l have just
left And l have examined several
times as many people in Alabama
as in New York.
Il do not find that the parasites
are confined to the poor and the
shiftless. / have found many victims
among the Weather classes in the
best residence districts of New York

MANY MORE SUICIDES.
Sure Signs of Mental and Physical
Breakdown Cause Alarm.

Sure Signs of Mental and Physical
Breakdown Cause Alarm.
There is an alarming increase in
the number of suicides in this coun-
try. The rate per hundred thousand
in 1908 was the highest known, be-
ing 21.8, against the 1875 of 1907.
This figure is a gain of more than
one point over the exceptionally high
rate in 1904 of 20.7. The census of
1910, correcting estimates of popu-
lation, may show the actual rate to
be higher than the apparent rate.
From every point of view, moral So
cial and economic, the increase in
the suicide rate is one of the most
alarming and suggestive phenomena
of the present day.
Tables of the rate in SIS cities
show that suicides are more frequent
in the larger than in the smaller
ones. The increase is also greater
in western and southern than in
north Atlantic and north central
cities.
The analysis of causes of individ-
ual cases of suicide reveals that the
increase of suicidal tendency affects
particularly the prosperous and bet
ter educated elements of the popula-
ton more than it does the unfortu-
nate, ignorant and poor.

ris when sufficient numeber of

In the petition it is requested that
the open season be from November

present the flesh of the muskrat is
considered a "delicacy," comparable
to 'possum, which, together with the
craze for coat Innings of muskrat
skin, it is said, will mean that the
rodent will be exterminated unless
some means are taken to protect it.

GOVERNOR BROWN EXPLODES 4
NEWSPAPER FAKE.
Nothing in Story of an Alleged Con-
VerSatiOn Between the Executive
and Congressman GriggS.

Nothing in Story of an Alleged Con-
versation Between the Executive
and Congressman GriggS.
ATLANTA. Gait is not the pur-
pose of Governor Brown to announce
whether or not he will be a candi-
date for reelection before late next
spring. Any accounts of his an
uouncement of his candidacy e. OF
conversation with any one on the
subject will be false.
Governor Brown is of the opinion
that the people of Georgia need d
rest from politics in order to attend
10 their business affairs. He does
not think that the next gubernatOrial
campaign should be of more than
sixty days duration. In regard to a
published report that he had told
Judge Griggs that he would run next
year he had the following to say:
I'm referenct to the statement in
The Atlanta Journal of Sunday to the
effect that l have advised Judge
Griggs that | would be a candidate
for denomination for the Office of
governor next year | will say that
every thing in the statement is a
fabrication. | have neither by words
or inference made any such declara-
ton. On the contrary, | have re-
Ueatedly said that the people of Geor-
gia are entitled to have rest for at
least year from political agitation;
that they wish TO be let alone so

ICED to say that any words purpOrt-
ing to include any declaration from
me upon this subject, if printed in
any paper or otherwise made public
before the latter part of next spring,
IS in every respect a fabrication"
While Governor Brown was speak

was handed to him signed by Judge
Griggs, wherein Judge Griggs makes
The following statement;
81 never told anybody that you
ever said that you would run for
governor. When asked my opinion
about it l have invariably said that
thought you would run. but that
you had not said so.
CAS- to the gubernatorial aspira-
lions being punctured by the So

are no aspirations hanging around
