THE WITHDRAWAL OF POPE
BROWN.

The announcement of Hon. Pope
Brown that he proposes to lay down
the responsibilities of the Office of
State Treasurer on the expiration of the
present term of Office will be received
with regret throughout the state, re-
CARELESS of political affiliations. Mr..
Brown, has, we believe, made an emf
nently satisfactory state officer. He
is a man of 1age experience in bus
mess affairs, one who has through
his own efforts and intelligent grasp
of conditions, accumulated and indie
pendent fortune. 1t is always difficult
to persuade such men to suffer the
loss that necessarily is involved to
them in the acceptance of a public Of
fee. But it is unquestionably much
better for the state if it can secure
their services.
There is not much disposition IN
Georgia to make political plum out
of the Office so acceptably filled by
Mr.. Brown. The late incumbent
filled the Office for a number of years,
and there is no doubt he would have
been reelected again and again if
death had not removed him. So, there
is reason to believe, it would be with
Mr.. Brown if he would consent to
make the personal sacrifice involved
in the retention of the office by a man
of such large business affairs as he is.
It is doubtful if he would have had op-
position, and if he had, with his strong
support throughout the state, and the
general feeling against making a po-
litical berth out of the office, there is
no doubling that he would have been
triumphanttly reelected.
Georgia will undoubtedly lose a
very capable man from it's list of pub
lie servants wen Pope Brown retires.
While his statement as1o his inten-
tons seem to remove " possibility
OF his changing his atti and accept
ing another nomination is certainly
to be deplored thtt he f1N S private life
so much more congenfH than public
office and that his time after this year
will be devoted to his own interests
rather than to the business affairs
OF GeAsia. While no one can pre-
diet as who his successor will be ii
is certaiHe to be hoped that he wiyGs Z
a man wiz Will measure up f;d
calibre of Park and Brown, two 49,
whose character and exceptional l
ity reflected credit upon them in o.
ever positions they were called upon
to fill

PEACE. SWEET PEACE, FOR
THIRTY DAYS.

The dove of peace is lowering over
Georgia, preparing to light upon its
soil. and the outlook is that for the
next thirty days harmony will pre-
vail among the brethren to much
greater extent than of late. Hol1e
Smith is going to California to lecture
and Joe Brown has silenced the At
lanta Journal.
What relief this will be to the pub
lie at large. After the turmoil of the
last campaign, and the ebulIition of
wrath that succeeded the election on
the part of the vanquished, an era of
comparative calm succeeded. But it
was too short lived Recently the
storm centre has swung this way and
the whirlwinds of politics have made
their appearance as a prelude to the
cyclonic disturbances of the approach
ing summer. Already the atmospheric
changes had become sufficiently pro
nounced to justify the raising of the
danger signals. But the latest news
from Atlanta indicates a temporary
subsistence of the alarming conditions
and a return to state approximating
a calm.
Ex-Governor Smith viii tour the
West for a month. During his absence
he will deliver several addresses. Tie
people of that section are to be con
graduated. Georgfas former governor
is an able and entertaining speaker
Before leaving he announces that he
will have nothing to say about guber-
Material matters until his return, and
possibly not then"
On the other hand, Governor Brown,
has delivered a solar pIexus blow to
the Smith headlight organ, the Atlanta
Journal, which has been vociferously
clamoring for the Governor to take It
into his special confidence and divuIge
his reasons to it for all of his official
acts. The Governor administers this
singing rebuke, in telling why he de-
clined to reply to calls made upon him
by the Atlanta Journal, to explain his
reasons for not purchasing the termi-
nal lands for the Western and Atlantic
- in and near Chattanooga. The
u sf.srnor does not feel that he is re-
s. sYSonsible to the Journal for his pub
31ic acts, or that it is necessary for him
to make a report to that organ when
ever he undertakes to do anything.
The statement follows:
THE editor of the Atlanta Journal
is laboring under the misconception
that he is the people of Georgia,
whereas he is only one Of about 230.
600 white male citizens, either one of
whose opinion or demand is as weighsy
4 as his Coupled with his misconcep-
r. ion is his impression that it is the
49, ty of the governor of Georgia to re-
I Bort to the Atlanta Journal. That is
also a palpable error. 1t is the duty
OF the governor to report to the gen
eral assembly. That body will con-
/ vene on the last Wednesday in June
next. In the meantime. speaking quite
/ personally, I will state that on June
4, 1908, the sovereign people of Georgia
! gave me an order not to report to the
Atlanta Journal. That order l can be
depended on to obey"
With ex-GOv. Smith removed from
the state and the Atlanta JouranI
chewing this cud, Georgia is apt to
have a surcease of political hydropho-
bia until April Even for such a brief
respite the public will be duly crate
full.

SAY NOT THE STRUGGLE NOUGHT
AYALETH.
(Arthnr Hugh Clongh.l

arthur Hugh Clough.)
Say not the struggle nought availeth
The labor and the wounds are vain,
The enemy faints not, nor faileth,
And as the things have been they err
main.
If hopes were dupes, fears may be
liars,
It may be, in yon smoke concealed,
Your comrades chase cen now the
fliers,
And, but for you, possess the field
For while the the tired waves, vainly
breaking,
Seem here no painful inch to gain,
Far back, through creeks and inlets
making,
Comes silet, flooding in, the main.
And not by eastern windows only,
Where daylight comes, comes in the
light,
In front the sun climbs slow, how
slowly,
But westward, look, the land is
bright.

FIRES.

A SNAIL frame house belonging 70
Mr.. Carroll Wolf, on the east slde OF
the electric railway, a short distance
northwest OF this city, was destroyed by
fire about II O'Clock Saturday night.
The house bad been occupied by labor
ers The origin Of the fire is unknown.
Early yesterday afternoon Mr.. x. M.
McKeown, engineer at the Corby Bak-
ery. on the west side of Lee street, be-
tween Cameron and Queen, discovered
fire in the second story OF the building.
Smoke was pouring from what was being
used as a store room, and the engineer
ran into the street and gave the alarm.
He returned quickly and used hre
extinguisher with effect, although he
was in danger Of suffocation from
smoke. He finally used three-lnch
fire hose The fire department arrived
in the meantime but the fire was found
TO be virtually under control. Most OF
the contents OF the room were burned
or damaged, but the fire caused no
serious loss.

BASKETBALL.

The Y. NJ. s. L. Speed Boys" and
the Ingram Memorial Club, OF Wash
ington, played an exciting game OF
basketball in the Amory Hall Saturday
night. The Speed Boys" won by the
score OF 20 to ii.
The home boys were never in danger
Of defeat during the evening, and, as
some OF the visiting teams, when they
are aware that they have met their
superiors in the art OF goal shooting,
passing OF the ball between members OF
the team, and many other tricks in the
game, resort to rough and tumble
tactics, and, in order to defend them
selves and keep from losing, the
"rubes," as they are termed by some
OF the experts, show that they are
right at home in such emergencies.
They have made wonderful improve
ment in playing the game, and the
difficult ball tossing Of Toomey and
Entwisle won the applause OF the large
crowd.
1t is to be hoped that the many adj
mirers Of indoor athletics will visit the
Armory Hall when games are an.
nounced to take place, as large crowd
is sure to please the players and make
them give an exhibition of the finest
class Of basketball.

CHARITY BALL.

There is only one gift in the world
above prIce-that is love. Those who
cannot appreciate love cannot be helped
by any substitute. When charity,
such as the Elks bestow upon the
needy ones, manifests itself, particu-
larry during the Christmas holidays,
one realizes that life is still worth the
living. no matter how desolate the
home or how dreary the life. The pro-
ceeds OF the Charity Ball to be given on
Wednesday night at the Elks Home
will be devoted to the filing of the
grand baskets which will cheer the
hearts Of the needy ones on Christmas.
That it will be literally patronized by
the Elks and their friends goes without
saving. The committee in charge
have made all necessary arrangement
and a pleasant evening is promised al
who attend. The Elks' Home, it Ii
predicted, will not be large enough to
accommo late those who wish in thu
way 10 help most worthy cause.

DEATH OF MRS. RUST.

The entire community was grieyed
and shocked this morning when the
news OF the death OF Mrs. David N.
Rust was received. It was known that
she had recently undergone serious
operation at the George Washington
Hospital in Washington, but until
a sudden change for the worst took
place last night, her physicians we're
most hopeful of her recovery. Mrs
Rust was a rare type OF christian wom-
anhood, faithful in every relation OF life,
gentle, earnest and truly without guile.
Ia her home, in her church and in her
neighborhood her loss cannot be esti-
mated. Her husband and children
have the sincerest sympathy OF their
many friends in this their great sorrow.
Before her marriage Mrs. Rust was
Miss Mary Lock, daughter OF Rev.
Thomas L. Lock, Of Amherst county,
and besides her husband she leaves six
children-three daughters and three
sons. Her funeral viii take place from
Christ Church on Thursday morning
next at ii o'clock.

CHURCH ON WHEELS.

The little frame building, ON north
Columbus street, in which the men,

notriety as great as the Little Church

which attracted the attention OF the
country over forty years ago when
the pastor OF fashionable church in
the metropolis refused to allow the re-
mains of Actor Holland to be brought
in, but directed those in charge Of the
funeral to proceed to the little church
around the corner" The Alexandria
church is still on wheels, but that fact
did not deter the members from enter
lug it and holding services yesterday.
Now that all legal obstacles have
been removed the work Of placing the
building IN the opposite side oil the
street will, it is said, be completed TO-
