"ONLY ONE MORE"
The Passing of the Big Stick Stirs
the Muse of a Baltimore Paper.

The Passing of the Big Stick Stirs
the Muse of Baltimore Paper.
A vast, critical and wearied sec
ton of the public was voiced in the
following verses, which were printed
by the Baltimore Sun just one week
before eX-President Roosevelt retired
from office, and which were greeted
with laughter from all sides, repub-
lican and democrats, when John
Sharp Williams read them in the
house:
Hang the Big Stick in the closet,
Put the megaphone away;
Irvine the Ananias members
With the olive and the bay;
Over all the happy country
SWells the tide Of coming rest;
Let the weary cease from troubling
North and south and east and west.
be the strenuous life forgotten,
Blistering epithets put by;
Tear 'mendacious from the Ian
guage;
Let no varlOt whisper lie"
Pack MY Policies" for shipment,
Take a long breath once again,
While the land gets back its reason
And the wild bear seeks its den.
Take vacation, tired typewriters!
Special messages no more
Burn the air along the highway
Ere they reach the senate door;
Put the horses in the stable,
Peace is dawning sweet and grand:
Only one more week of Teddy
Hail Columbia, happy land!

lrI-PE OF RAILROAD COMMITS
hon CAUSING SPECULATION.
.ernor Browns Platform Declares
ar Three Commissioners. Terms
of Stevens and Galloway
Next to Expire.

#kTLANTA.-There is a great deal
speculation just now as to what
i legislature may or may not do
satjve to the membership of the
NIroad commission.
m is not believed there will be
IN material changes made in the
3 Nv railroad commission law itself
nroduct of Gov. Hoke Smiths ad-
Hnistration-but there is a persist
belief in certain quarters that
Il membership of the commission
h be reduced from five to three,
which it formerly stood.
There was a declaration in the
ktform on which Governor-elect
Sseph NJ. Brown was nominated to
i effect that a railroad commission
three was sufficiently large for the
bnsaction of all business. 1t is
aimed, in fact, that the primary
biect of the governor in insisting
on an increase in the membership
bs to secure a majority on the
lard favorable to his policies.
1.-THE new administration is almost
EDGED to reduction. If the new leg
lature sees fit to carry out this
bture of the platform the question
.ises as to what disposition it will
bike of the additional members.
hey have just been elected for four
Id siX-year terms by the people,
Id dispOssessing an official elected
the people has been a thing about
bich the legislature has gone very
bwly in the past. An elected Off
b has a sort of proprietary right
his office. On the other hand if
|e commission were reduced to
pee members effective at the expi-
ltion of the terms of two of the
resent board it would be at least
PR years before the reduction could
Ike place.
THE commissioners whose terms
FSt expire are o. b. Stevens and
Iller E. Galloway, the former ap-
pnted by Gov. Terrell and the latter
Gov. Smith. The question pre-
|nts some interesting aspects from
hatever standpoint the legislature
ay see fit to approach it.

BROWN GETS ANOTHER OFFICE.
Honored With Presidency of Cobb
County Board of Education.

County Board of Education.
Governor-elect Joseph NJ Brown
has been elected to another Office.
A few days ago he was chosen chair
man of the Cobb county board of
education, and he will fill that place
until he goes into the executives
chair on June "a.
Mr.. Brown has been a member of
the Cobb county board for many
years. At the last election D. W.
Blair, the president, was defeated
for reelection, and Mr.. Brown be-
ing vice-president was elected his
successor.
1t is not known whether or not
the law is against the governor hold
ing any other office, but it is prob
able that Mr.. Brown will quit the
one at home, because of lack of time.
After his inauguration he will live
IN Atlanta at the mansion.
Mr.. Brown has remembered his
nome town with the gift of a town
park. At a meeting of the city coun-
Gil on Monday night it was an
nounced that the governor-elect had
donated five acres from his home
place to the city to be used as q
park and playground 1t was ac-
cepted. The land has heretofore
been used by the governor-eIect as a
small farm, on which he has raised
prIze-taking corn and other prod
ucts. 1t adjOins his residence.

CONVICT VISITS DYING WIFE.
The Governor Allows Him to Go to
North Carolina.

NOIIil OttIOlllIds
Governor Smith has granted per-
mission to w. G. Thompson, a con-
Wet in the state penitentiary, to go
to North Carolina under guard to the
bedside of his dying wife.
Thompson is a white man about
fifty years of age. who was convicted
in Savannah last March of embez-
Element and sentenced to serve seven
years in the penitentiary.
When the request came for per-
mission to go to his wife, who is
said to be on her death bed, Govern
or Smith wired his consent, and also
stated that if Thompson did not have
money with which to pay the ex-
penses of the trip he would furnish
it.
The governor was afterwards in
formed that the expenses both of
Thompson and the guard who is to
accompany him would be paid by
the Flowers Lumber Company of
Jakin, where Thompson has been en-
ployed. According to the informa-
ton received it may be that Thomp-
son will find his wife dead when he
reaches her bedside.

DIABOLICAL DEED OF NEGRO.

Then Lighted 1t.

A negro named Rufus Gore was
given the extent of the law in the
way of a sentence in the city court

he got no more than was coming to

The following is a waif in the
big expanse of newspap r
anonymity, but it is we'll worth
attentive perusal by young men
just starting out in life:
Remember, my son, you have
to work. Whether you handle a
pick or a pen, wheelbarrow or
set of books, dig bitches or edit
a newspaper, ring an auction bell
or write funny things, you must
work. If you look around you
will see that the men who are
best able to live the rest of their
lives without work are the men
who work the hardest. Do not
be afraid to kill yourself with
overwork. 1t is beyond your
power to do that on the sunny
side of thirty. They die, some
times, but it is because they quit
work at 6 p. m. and don't get
home until 2 a. m. It is the in
terval that kills, my son. The
work gives you an appetite for
your meals, it lends solidity to
your slumbers, it gives you a
perfect and grateful appreciation
of holiday. There are young
men who do not work, but the
world is not proud of them. It
does not know their names, even:
it simply speaks of them as So
and Sos boys. Nobody likes
them; the busy world does not
know that they are here. So
find out what you are to be and
take off your coat and make a
dust in the world. The buster
you are the less harm you are
apt to get into, the sweeter will
be your slumbers, the brighter
and happier your holidays, and
the better satisfied the world
will be with you Elk.

OF Interest to Mothers.

There is one subject which always in

and that is how to treat their coughs

Remedy. 1t always proves beneficial.
In case of Group it should be given as
soon as the croupy cough appears, so as
to prevent the attack. Keep it at hand

do SO, and it saves them much uneasi-
ness. For sale by Libbey's Pharmacy.
