Commissioner General Daniel j. Keefe

from his tour OF inspection which en-
braced Chicago, Vancouver, Victoria,
Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, San Fran
cisco. Los Angeles. San Diego. the
Mexican border, FL Paso. Eagle

leans and st. Louis. Mr.. keefe states
that the attempt to smuggle Chinese into
the United States over the Mexican
border has very materially decreased.
Efforts are but few now to carry on this
business, and In nearly every instance
the offenders are caught. The trouble
appears to have been chiefly at or near
FL Paso, Tex.
AS a whole, said the commissioner gen.
eral, the immigration service Is in a
fair shape. but recommendations will be
made which II is believed will tend to
improve conditions in many respects.

GEORGIA's L. S. SENATORS.

rom the Atlanta Georgian.
When Senator Steve" Clay in the
United States senate chamber last
week took the oath of office for the
third time the impressive spectacle
inspired The Washington Herald to
say some very pleasant things con-
corning the genial and distinguished
| Georgian, and to refer especially to
| the tribute which he took occasion
to pay to his colleague, Senator Ba-
con, in his address before the gen.
eral assembly. What the Herald
says must be gratifying to the peo-
| pie of Georgia. 1t follows:
This, we think, however. was not
quite the happiest incident in con-
nection with Mr.. Clay's election. The
finest thing appertaining to the same
was his warm and generous eulogy
of his senatorial colleague, Mr.. Ba-
con, Mr.. Bacon is the first senator
Georgia ever returned to congress
| for third term; Mr.. Clay is the Sec
Ond. They began their senatorial ca
reers within two years of each other,
and they have since worked shoulder
to shoulder for the best interests of
their state as each saw it. They have
not always agreed; here and there
they have split, and parted company
| in voting. Notably, they were not
! able to see the lumber schedule from
exactly the same point of view; Mr..
| Clay being an out-and-out advocate
! of free lumber, Mr. Bacon believ-
! ing in a fairly stiff tariff thereon.
But Senator Clay, in addressing the
legislature subsequent to his cleo
ton, specifically disclaimed because
Of these differences the right to call
| himself better democrat or a more
faithful, efficient or honorable sena-
tor than Mr.. Bacon. L love the
senior senator said Mr.. Clay, and
| no man shall ever question his
democracy unchallenged in my pres
ence. Georgia ought to be proud of
him, for he is true to himself and
to his constituents
I'VE do not know how that i'm
presses the country outside of Wash
ington, but it is refreshingly pleasing
to us. Too often at the capital do
we hear it said of senators from the
same state, there is no love lost be-
tween those two 1t frequently hap
pens, indeed, that they do not speak
as they pass; and now and then it
has occurred that senators from the
same state have declined even that
association with each other incident
to approaching the vice-president's
stand in order that one or the other
might be sworn in for a new term.
There are no petty jealousies and
spites between Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Ba-
con. When Mr.. Clay takes the oath
anew he wilh be accompanied by his
Georgia colleague, who is not alone
his fellow-member, but his cordial
appreciative and trusted friend.
I'VE think Georgia may felicitate
itself that it is ably and satisfactorily
represented in the United States SEN
ate"

Will SPEAK FOR HIMSELF.

The daily political sheets are now
telling what Governor Brown will do
in the event the legislature passes
the new prohibition bill, miscalled
1.-THE anti-near beer bill" Governor
Brown himself says; Il have not
discussed the Alexander bill with any
one. nor have I told living soul
what | intend to do with it when it
comes to me, if it does come. Any
assertion to that effect is not true.
| will go further and state that any,
thing that may be published, pur-
porting to come from me, as to what
l propose to do with the bill will be
untrue. If the measure reaches me
in due course I shall act upon it.
Prior to that l shall have nothing
whatever to say. I am not in the
habit of crossing bridges until l get
to them"
Should he be called upon to act
the governor will speak for himself,
and may be depended upon to do
what he believes to be his duty in
the premises, and do it unhesitating-
ly. He may be depended upon, too,
to give his reasons in a plain, terse
manner that no one can mistake or
misconstrue.

A GOLDEN WEDDING.

The Newman Herald and Adver
tiser, in it's last issue, gave an &C
count of a society" event in tina
town which will no doubt be peruseC
with interest by the readers of Th'
News. Says the Newman paper:
A rare occurrence was the eel
ebration on the 5th of July of
the f1ftieth anniversary of the
marriage of Uncle" Samson and
Aunt" Alice Dyer, two humble,
trustworthy colored people of
the ante-bellum type, both we'll
known to many of the people OF
Newman, whom they have been
serving for many, many years.
Their home on Pinson street
was appropriately decorated,
and at $50 O'Clock to the
strains of the wedding march
and preceded by two little flow
er girls the old couple walked
to the front porch and again
plighted their troth. Rev. H.
r. Bennett performed the cere-
mony in an impressive manner,
COulu6uuluS InGiI ldlIu1uluGSS
to each other and urging the
younger generation to profit by
their example. After the cere-
mony their white friends were
served first with barbecue and
a salad course, then with cream,
cake and punch. The numerous
presents from both white and
colored friends attested the es-
teen in which they are held.
After wishing the old couple
many more happy anniversaries
the white guests left, impressed
by the orderly and respectful
conduct of the colored people.
Those people of the north who ar
so much concerned with the prob
EN-" in the south can find much il
his incident to think about
1t is to be hoped that the exam
pie this old couple have set by thei
industry, humbleness and faithful
ness to their marital vows may b.
emulated by the colored race gen
orally.

MLENDON COMMITTEE REPORTS
Submitted No Law Either as to Find
ings or the Facts.

With the bare submission of the
evidence and a brief statement the
joint committee to investigate the
dismissal of S. G. McLendon, chair
man of the railroad commission, by
Ex-Governor Smith finally discharged
its labors in the matter Monday.
The report was submitted in both
the house and senate, and no action
was taken. With the report, which
consists Of 460 printed pages, and
comprises the entire evidence during
the hearings before the committee,
the chairman of the two committees
made a simple statement.
1t was set forth that the function
of the committee was simply to in
vestigate and lay the facts before
the two bodies.
The report consists of two parts,
one confined to the evidence sub
mitted in reference to the governor S
message of suspension and matters
cOgnate or incidental thereto. The
other part represented matters deal
ing with the bond deal in which the
chairman is alleged to have taken
part.
In the senate this statement was
read together with a statement of
Ex-Governor Smith printed in the pa
pers and in which he denied any pre-
vious knowledge of the bond matter.
In the house the matter was simply
submitted.

RUNNING AHEAD.

The cost of keeping this government
going last year was over 1854, 000,-
600. We took in about S604, 0O0,-
600, or about $90,O00,000 less than
we paid out. In ordinary business
this would be tending to bankrupt
cy; in national it is only deficit
to be made up some other year.
1t is hard for the government to
economic, so hard that little of it
is done.
For every secular day of the fiscal
year of the government the customs
took in over $1,000,000 a day. That
is a big sum to receive in taxes in
"a hours. 1t is the only source Of
revenue which showed an increase
over 1907-'08, that advance being
about $15,000,000. 1t gives an idea
of how vast our shipping interests
are and how much we buy abroad
every year. Little of this outside
buying is in food; nine-tenths is in
jewelry, clothing and luxuries. But
for the dollars of the Americans
foreigners would suffer. Thousands
of merchants in the old world would
fail should our purchasers conclude
to patronize only the merchants at
home There is little danger of a
change, but it would work immense
harm to Europe if it were brought
about.
Next year the customs receipts are
expected to show an increase of $40,
100000, or $5O,OOO,OOO over those
of the past fiscal year, which should
go a long way toward wiping out
the shortage of this year and bring
ing about the return of the times
when We sensibly diminished cur
national debt every twelve months.

l have no sympathy with the I'M
rest of our rural population. We are
upon the eve of radical changes for
the betterment Of country conditions.
Today the safest place for invest

increase rapidly with increasing pop
ulation. They will more than double
in thirty years. Already the aban-
doned farms of New York and New
England are being bought by capital
lists for investment. There is many

will give him home and support

The Time of Their Lives.

From the GAINESVILLE Gazette.
Haven't we 'refawmers' been hav-
ing the time of our lives during the
past two years? Hon Hooper Alex
ander has $500 in his pockets, paid
him by Governor Smith in plain viola
ton of the law, and a near-fee of
$4,000 in prospect. Hon. S. G. Nc
Lendon made $1,000 dealing in bonds
as chairman of the railroad commits
sion, and Brother Jim K. Hines, be-
sides the fat office as special attor-
ney given him in payment for SER
vices rendered in the memorable
campaign, is a willin' witness be-
cause he failed to make a $1,000 fee
on bond deal. What other graft
is covered up by the "refawm" dust
and smoke of the late administration
We do not know.

WIRED CHICKEN HOUSE DOOR.
And Mr.. Smith Caught Negro Raid
ing His Poultry.

Recently the family of DR.. w. C.
Kendrick had been bothered by
chicken thieves, and many tooth
some fryers had gone via the mid
night prowler and crocus sack route.
Mr.. R. D. Smith, the popular book
keeper of the City National Bank,
who, with his wife, has rooms at the
home of DR.. Kendrick, and is jointly
interested in the chickens, put his
wits to work to catch the thief. He
stretched a wire which had been
attached to a bell in his room
to the hen house door, and ar
ranged it so that when the door
was opened the bell would be rung,
and patiently abided his time. One
morning recently the bell began ring
ing, and Mr.. smith hastily rushed to
the. window with pistol in hand and
saw the fast vanishing form of a
man leaving the yard. He fired sew
eral shots at the intruder, but if any
of the bullets had the desired effect
it has not become public.

EXCESSIVE TAXATION.

From the Middle Georgia Farmer.
The people of nearly every city
and state are suffering from excessive
taxation, which, in some instances,
is made necessary by inexcusable ex-
travagance of public officers and SER
waits.
Every legislature spends much of
it's time looking for something new
to tax or something that can stand
a little more taxes instead of wisely
economizing and making present re-
ceipts go ten times further than they
are going, as they ought to do
A limit must be reached some
time, and in our opinion it has now
been reached. Just because a man
has deprived himself, suffered and
saved, and finally has a few surplus
dollars is no reason why his savings
should be confiscated by his state or
city. Conditions have practically
reached the point where none but the
wealthy can make money, and this
class is controlling the legislatures,
courts, commerce, tariff, supply, and
all else, and are making the balance
of us carry all their burdens. The
poor consumer is paying it all with
no hope of relief, and at the same
time every doodle of a politician is
casting around, looking for a place
and means to increase that burden
and find something new on which to
levy an additional or extra tax. The
country, states, counties and cities
are all living beyond their means.
individuals get discouraged and do
likewise, and the poor fellows who
keep on plodding and striving are
paying the unpaid bills of the other
fellows, and thus carrying more than
their share of the burdens.
1t is time to get down to business
and call a halt. 1t is time the people
were waking up to the indifference
and extravaganza of their legisla-
lures, ETC., and bringing them to per-
sOnal account
