There Are Now Half a Dozen
Rows on at the Capitol.
DISCORD IN THE STATE HOUSE

May Complicate the Present EXecu-
tive's Retirement Next Month.
Who the Fussers Are, and What
They Are Fussing About. The
Smith-McLendOn Differences.
ATLANTA, Ga.-There are several
interesting little rows on between
various state officials with offices in
the capitol on the one hand, and
Governor Smith on the other.
The differences between the gov
ernor and the prison commission
over the question of the purchase
of a state farm are now past history.
The indications are that the restoTa-
ton of harmony between them is not
the least of things possible, and I'M
til the governor goes out of office
it is likely that there will be scant
communication between the prison
commission and the executive office.
There has recently arisen another
question between them in which the
state treasurer is also involved.
Governor Smith wants to pay out for
school purposes the convict hire for
the last quarter of the lease system,
which was the first quarter of the
present year, amounting to about
500, 600. Now the prison commits
sion claims that this money should
be held to meet the necessary eX-
penses Of the prison department since
the legislature gave the department
its appropriation to come out of the
funds arising from convict hire. The
governor thinks the commission can
use part of the proceeds of the near
beer tax. Between these two opin-
ions the state treasurer declines to
pay out the money to the counties
for school purposes. and will con-
tinue to decline until harmony of
views has been restored or the at
tOrney general renders an opinion
sanctioning that course.
The Postage Stamp Bill.
But there is another cause of dis
pute between the governor and State
Treasurer Park wholly aside from
the question of paying out this con-
Wet money. The state treasurer,
who is also state bank examiner, in
the spring of 1903 mailed out a
large number of his annual reports.
In so doing he ran up a stamp bill
of somewhere between $500 and
$500. The funds available for pay
ing salaries and expenses of the state
bank examiners department were
not sufficient to pay all the salaries
nd CT he fn
the treasurer asked the governor to
pay it out Of the contingent fund.
This the governor has recently,

THE DOVE OF PEACE HAS FIT AWAY

with some emphasis, declined to do,
despite the fact, which the treasurer
points out, that the attorney gen
eral says the contingent fund can be
lawfully used for this purpose.
While it has not appeared IN the
correspondence it is current capitol
gossip that one reason at least why
the governor refused to pay the
treasurer stamp bill is that he be-
lieves the treaSurer'S report was writ
ten in part as a campaign document
and was sent out for campaign pur-
poses. Therefore the governor
thinks the treasurer should bear this
expense personally. 1t is probable
now that the treasurer will lay the
matter before the legislature this
summer.
The Standardization Difference.
But perhaps the most interesting
of all the differences between the
governor and other state officials is
that in which he and Chairman S.
G. McLendOn of the state railroad
commission are involved.
When the governor went into office
and appointed Mr.. McLendon to the
railroad commission to succeed
Joseph NJ. Brown, whom he kicked
out of office" and thus made gov
ernOr. the views of Governor Smith
and the chairman of the commission
on the railroad question were beau
tifully harmonious and cOincident.
But since he went into office Chair
man McLendon has been studying
the railroad situation some" And
now, possibly as a result of that
study, his views and those of the gov
ernor, in some respects at least, have
become almost directly divergent
Governor Smith wanted the COM
mission to take a hand in the fight
against the grain and provision rate
increases from Ohio river points last
August The commission, after
much delay, decided to join the
Georgia merchants in this fight, but,
it is said, over the protest and
against the vote Of Chairman McLen-
don.
May Block Campaign Promises.
1t looks very much as if Chairman
MCLendOn were going to prove the
stumbling block in the way of Gov
ernor Smiths exit from office with a
flourish of achievement of some of
the things he talked about during
his first campaign.
And this is the same Chairman
McLendOn Of whom it used to be
said humorously two years ago that
he was in the habit of eating a rail
road for breakfast every morning.
The chairmans attitude in evident
aOtapOniSm to the governors views
has not unnaturally raised the ques-
ton as to whether Governor Smith
would consider suspending him from
the commission.
To a friend who is said to have
talked over this phase of the matter
with him the governor is reported to
have replied that he did not propose
to make another incompetent man

SENATORS SWAP SARCASM

CUSS TARIFF, HOGS SHOUTS
AND REPUBLICANS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-What Sen
ator Tillman said about Senator
Simmons and Senator Fletcher of
Florida the other day and what Sen
ator McCumber of North Dakota ap-
proved with respect to the gentle
men from the south who have been
clamoring for protection on certain
products of the south, has been kept
back for some days within the re-
cesses of Mr.. McCumber wherever
he keeps his recesses. Some little
of it was printed in some of the pa
pers, but as is usual it is only the
picturesque and unconventional
things, Senator Tillman says, which
get printed, and generally without
any great consideration for their
context, when they happen to have
any context.
Senator Simmons has been some
what resentfuI of Senator Tillman S
reference to the efforts of the hogs
to get their shouts into the
trough" etc. What Senator Tillman
really said as it appears for the first
time in the Record is that Senator
Simmons had made good republic
can speech, and Senator McCumber,
who is himself a good republican,
agreed.

Tillman, that the senator from Min

the senator from Florida (Mr. Fetch
err this morningwanting everything
that Florida produces protected, and
it was a very thorough republican
speech, from my standpoint"
"A splendid republican speech"
put in McCumber
LAS I have said, we are getting
very badly mixed" went on Tillman,
and l am afraid before we get
through there will not be trough
enough for all the hogs to get their
shouts into it."
There was a laugh, of course, as
there generally is, at Tillman's fig
ures of speech, and a discussion,
quite irrelevant, arose as to pigs,
hogs, their shouts, when is a hog
not a hog, and whether McCumber
believed a hog ever got grown or
not, etc. Before the discussion had
grown very long Tillman was accus-
ing McCumber of "dodging."
Mr. President, everybody lodges
anything that the senator from
South Carolina wants to get hold of, ;"
said McCumber.
Sometimes a good many of you
have lodged" replied TilIman.
Mr.. McCumber then remarked
with sarcasm, ''the only simon-pure,
honest man in the world is the sena-
tor from South Carolina have
discussed, and other senators have
discussed, this question very often
with the senator from South Caro-
lima, and again and again he has
spoken from his seat challenging the
integrity of every senator who may
possibly disagree with him upon any
possible subject. | do wish that for
once in his life the senator would
get it out of his mind that the Lord
Almighty has tied up all of the sim
certify and honesty in the world in
his hide"
That rather snappy, though not
wholly out of the ordinary, colloquy
was then injected into the discus
sion. Tillman declared that he
would leave his colleagues to judge
OF his egOtism, vanity, and so forth,
and then went on the very important
question as to whether the senator
from North Dakota believed that a
hog ever got grown.
McCumber declined to enter into
that question with TilIman, but went
on to say something significant,
with which Tillman is not in disa-
greement. ''These men from the
south" said McCumber, "are new
converts and like all new converts
always go to extremes. They are 60
ing to vote and preach policies Of
protection that even republicans
would blush to urge"
Senator McCumber declares that
such men as Simmons and Fletcher,
who are urging a protective tariff on
lumber and other things which are
produced in their states, are out-re-
publicaning the republicans.
There isn't any democrat party
any more" one democratic senator
said the other day.

NEW VOORHEES, at $1,000 a
dozen is rather a high price, even
for New York.
Nevertheless that is the record
which has just been set here, and
with only quarter of a dozen of the
expensive eggs available at that
The eggs, however, are not the prod
uct of the great American hen, but
of the swan which makes it's home
in one of the lakes of Central park
Their value lies in the fact that they
are the eggs of a black swan, which
are almost as scarce as hens teeth.
Various offers of 500 apiece for
the three eggs have been received,
but the park authorities have refus-
ed them all.
Black swans are worth from $500
to $500 each, and it has accordingly
been decided to let Mrs. Swan set
on the eggs in the hope of some eb-
Ony cygnets. Accordingly for more
than five weeks there will be anx-

GUS waiting, since there is no means
of predicting whether or not the
birds Matched from the valuable eggs
will be black.
If they are not the speculation in
eggs on the part of the park authori-
ties will be worthless, since $25 a
pair is fair price for young swans
Of the ordinary kind. If one egg
produces a black swan the specula-
ton will break even, while any fur
Their success will show a handsome
profit.
One fact which has caused the
keepers some anxiety is that while
the male white swans share with the
females the task Of keeping warm
the eggs the black male swan refuses
a similar assistance to his mate. She
is being closely watched, however,
so that if she shows any tendency to
neglect her duty artificial means
may be Immediately adopted to in
sure the Matching Of the most valua-
Bile eggs on record.

Col. Bob Howard of Columbus de-
livered the Memorial address at
Cuthbert, and the Leader has this
to say of it:
He eulogized the confederate SOL
der and paid a beautiful tribute to
southern womanhOod. His language
at times was flowery, and often he
turned to poetry to embellish his
thoughts. To emphasize his remarks
in one portion of his address he
grasped revolver in either hand and
fired several times. One he seized
a confederate flag and waved it. He
concluded by singing God be with
you till we meet again"
