The McLemd0m Case

We have not been in any hurry to comment
on the action of Governor Smith in seeking to
carry Guyt McLendon along with him as he
went out of Office
Possibly Mac ought to have followed the
custom which is so English, you know, and
rendered his resignation upon the retirement
of his Chief; but he couldn't see it that way,
and Hoke, naturally wanting company for his
misery, sent the bow-string to Guyt as he was
leaving the Governorship.
Who struck William Patterson, and who
was the Man in the Iron mask and who wrote
the Letters of Junius and why were Joe
Brown and Guyt McLendon fired from the
Railroad Commission of Georgia?
These historic conundrums will 90 floating
down the stream of time puzzling, tantalizing
and amusing the curious, world without end

which Governor Smith gave his reasons for

phrase of that document, of Smith uersus

The Georgia Legislature

Unusual interest attaches to the session
which is now on. Some new legislation of
general Importance is proposed, and some old
acquaintance, like the anti-lobby bill, are with
us again.
(D If the people of any civilized COM
munity, where civil or criminal case is on
trial, should see the attorneys, agents and en-
ployees of the Plaintiff and Defendant taking
the members of the jury off to one side to Jug

thing were not stopped instanter, somebody
would be lynched. Yet, all of us know that

downward.
(5) We don't think it would be good pol
icy or fair play, to burden all the people with
bond-lssues to build boulevards for automo-
biles whose joyful occupants want improved
routes from city to city.
(6) We don't think that it makes much
difference whether the Legislature meets once
a year, or once in two years. A sorry Legis-
lature can't meet too seldom, and a good one
ought to come often. Seriously, the legisla-
tive function is intended to be analogous to
that of a Grand Jury. It should be the requ-
t0tor for the State, as the Grand jury is for
the county. Somehow, we are inclined to ia
for the annual meet, but, as Roosevelt said of
Woman Suffrage, we are not excited about it.
~ We heartily favor the proposition to
trim down the Railroad Commission to it's
former proportions. There never was any
sense In adding two members to it, or giving
it permanent expert and attorney Any
board consisting of several will evolve one
man control; and McLendon could as readi-
ly have emerged from board of three as
from board of five. We strongly opposed
the increase at the time Governor Smith in
sisted upon it, and we are consistent in favor
ing the restoration of the former status
(8) The proposition to have a Commits
sioner of Agriculture for each county might
be amended so as to give one to each militia
district. And the amendment might be
amended by giving two to the town precinct.
Of course it will be a good idea to give each
Commissioner a secretary, who in turn should
have clerk, and all three should have stenog-
raphers and typewriters. However, we are
bitterly opposed to giving them automobiles.

 Candidates

Mobile, Sept. 9.-(SpeciaD-State Solicitor Nicholas E. Stallworth ap- pointed by Governor Conner to sue ceed Solicitor James H. Webb, resign ed. will not be candidate for re-elec- tion. He said this morning that he would not enter the race.
 It was rumored on the streets that the solicitor had decided not to run for the office again and when he was asked as to the ruInor. he confirmed it.
 AS conditions are now and give promise of being" he said, "I can see no good from mising in the turmoil of politics. Of course. things may take a different shape between now may run. but as this is improbable, 1t is almost a certainty that will not make the race the next time"
 Solicitor Stallworth, already popu- lar. has made many friends since his connection with office and a strong following was conceded him if he made the race. He stated thls morn ing that he appreciated any kindly feelings voters might have towards him but that he did not care to enter the race and mix in the promised and already waxing warm. political fight over the rigid enforcement of the pro- hibition and other laws.
 This leaves the fight. so far as known, between two candidates. Judge Jules Afford of the Inferior Court and Leslie B. Sheldon, once so- Iicitor of the county. It Is stated that other candidates will announce.

MISS BLAIR ESCAPES
DRAGGED FROM A BAYOU NEAR
 PENSACOLA,
Life of Birmingham Young Woman ia Saved By Thomas Harris News of the Florida
 Seaport.

Pensacola. Fla. Sept. s.-tSpecial.)- An early morning bath in Bayou Grande almost proved fatal for Miss Blair. a young woman of Birmingham who is here with her father, who has the contract for constructing a sea- wall at Fort Pickens for the Govern ment.
 But for the timely arrival of Thomas Harris. the young woman would have found a watery grave at the same spot where, two years ago. Postoffice In. spector Vogei was drowned while bathing with party of friends.
 Miss Blair and her relatives are re- siding on the shores Of the bayou. and 1t has been her custom to arise early and take dip in the bayou. She ven- tured little further out than usual. only to step or suddenly from shai. low water into a depth of fifteen or twenty feet and to be caught by the strong tide and carried further out into the bayou. She screamed, and Thomas Harris. who was leaving his home, heard the scream and ran to her assistance.
 Without waiting to remove his coat or shoes. Mir. Harris plunged into the water and, swimming to the young woman. soon had her safe on shore He was able to do this simply by req. son of being a strong swimmer and g man of powerful physique.

FULLER ACT
MOBILE DEFENDANTS DEMAND
 TRIAL BY JURY.
Judge Afford Holds His Decision Under Advisement Until Sepfem- Der 21--Cases VIII Go To
 Supreme Court.

Mobile, Sept. S-(Special)-The first fight over whether or not the Fuller prohibition bill is constitutional on the proposition of depriving defendants of jury trials came up this morning before Judge Afford of the inferior criminal court. fin the cases of J. H Zuckerman and Fred Pees, and after lengthy arguments by Solicitor Stall- worth and Attorney Webb, represent ing the defendants. Judge Afford took the matter under adyisement to rem der a decision on September q.
 MT. Webb spoke at length on the subject and asserted that all defend ants had a right to jury trial for any offense and cited decisions to sus- tain his contentious. also going over the Fuller bill at length.
 Solicitor Stallworth answered Mr. Webbs arguments and delved deep into law on the subject.
 At the conclusion of the arguments. Judge Afford announced that he had thought he was ready to rule on the subject, but since new points had been brought out by the solicitor and Mir. Webb, he would take the matter under advisement and September 21 was set as the date for the decision.
 The greatest interest prevails in the decision as 1t means much to liquor men under arrest or threatened with arrest whether or not they get a jury trial.
 The case will be carried to the high est courts for a decision.
