TWO PROSPECTIVE CHANGES IN
GE0RGIA'S DELEG CATION.

The impression seems to be steadily
gaining ground in the First and Tenth
| Georgia congressional districts that
the incumbents, Edwards and Hard
wick, are doomed to defeat In the
First, Giles is looked upon as a prob
able winner In the Tenth, Eve is
hailed as the prospective next repre-
sentative. HardWick, it will be recall
ed, won originally by an appeal to
| the A. P. A. sentiment in Augusta and
by an appeal to the prejudice against
the negroes in the country counties.
Edwards secured his seat by a piece
of political chicane, in a convention
that was deadlocked between Bran
nan and Sheppard. Edwards has been
hard worker at Washington in a
way, seeking appropriations and jobs
for his district. No one ever looked
for him to measure up to a higher
standard of craftsmanship. Hardwick
has not been an especially brilliant
illuminant at the national capitol. In
the defeat of either of these parties
no one will be guilty of intimating
that the sun has gone down.
Discussing the situation in the Tenth
district, the Augusta Chronicle says:
of course, Mr.. Watson is doing what
he can, in his own way, to defeat Mr..
| Hardwick; and he has given the public
some pretty sound reasons why he, at
least, has come to this position, after
acting for eight years as Hardwick's
political Wet-nurse; but the truth of
the matter is, Hon. Oswell r. Eve, of
Richmond, had taken Hardwick's
measure" in at least four of the coun-
ties Of the district before Mr.. Watson
was publicly heard from in the race;
while Hon. A. w. Evans, it is reliably
said had taken Hardwick's measure"
in his own home county, Evans having
repeatedly offered to run it OUT
with Hardwick in Washington county,
tie loser TO retire from the race. What
Mr.. Hardwick thinks of his own
strength in his home county, may be
inferred from the fact that he has per-
sistently ignored Evans challenge"
The political indications were that
Mr.. Eve started into the race with at
least two counties to his credit
Richmond and McDufie He quickly
captured Lincoln, and then added CO.
lumbia, giving him, as we said, four
counties, reasonable certain" as far
back as two months ago He, after
wards made great Roadway in Han
cock, Taliaferro and Glascock; and
since that time, information is that
Warren, Wilkinson and Jefferson have
been turning rapidly to him.
1t is conceded, of course, that Mr..
Watson's DETECTION has taken from
Hardwick the bulk of his former polit-
ical strength; which must, inevitably,
90 to the stronger of the other two
candidates. This has not only made
Mr.. Ewes victory in certain counties
even more certain than it was, but
has so increased his strength in other
counties as to cause his friends to
feel that he may now safely count
on at least seven and possibly ten,
counties in the district There are
eleven counties in the district.
II Mr.. Evans carries Washington
county, as he appears confident of be-
ing able to do, then, indeed 1t is pref
ty certain that" Hardwick will re-
main at home next time"

JUDGE NORW0OD'S PESSIMISTIC
ADDRESS At EMORY.

EX-Judge and former United States
Senator Thomas NJ Norwood, alwa2 ;
caustic and in his later years su-
premely pessimistic, painted a very
gloomy picture of the future ruin Of
the republic in his address to the
graduates of Emory College on Tues
day. Not a single note of hopefuIness,
not a single strain of confidence, not a
single word Of good cheer, seems to
have been uttered. All was dark,
gloomy, discouragfng. It was the dag
nosis, apparently, of one who is cease
lessly studying life through g. glass
darkly, Of a student of morbid, IN
healthy, degenerating conditions, who
fails to see and appreciate the great
sh cam of reyivifying, purifying, up
lifting influences that is ever sweep
ing with life-giving power through the
nation
The address, Of course, was an able
one Of its kind. Few men in the South
have the command of vltriolic, con-
demnatory English that Judge Nor
wood has Few have the power of an
alysis and of vivid description with
Which he is gifted. The more the
pity, then, that into the ears Of the as
sembIed graduates of 1910 he should
have poured such a woeful mass Of
black and most direful predictions,
such a one sided picture of existing
conditions. Judge Norwood spoke as
one who had lost faith in both God and
man, as though he were a disciple of
that early hereto who boldly pro-
claimed the supremacy Of evil. Bnt
fortunately the spirit of youth is ever
hopeful, ever sanguine, ever looking
on the bright side, ever eager to go
forth and grapple with evil and con-
quer it. The pessimistic seed will fall
on barren ground, we hope and believe.
Out in the bright sunshine, away from
the miasma of such depressing utter
ances, with the cool, refreshing breez-
es Of heaven inspiring them with cour-
age and confidence, the boys of Emory
are more than apt to cast away all
such doIeful forebodings as mere
Pigments of an imagination too prone
to dwell on the frailities of mankind,
too little inclined to give due weight
to the deep rooted influences that are
ceaselessly combating and minimiz-
ing the powers of evil
Healthy minds in healthy bodies,
with perspective not limited by an I'M
due concentration of thought on the
base agencies at work in the republic,
will readily see that the evils Judge
Norwood refers to are but excres-
cences that time will eradicate, that
the corruption will be driven from the
body polite, that the putrid sores will
be healed and the poison eliminated
from the social system. The countrys
future is not what Judge Norwood has
painted it, brilliant and sincere
though that verbal artist may be in
his delineations of what calamitous
fate holds in store for it. 1t is only
to be regretted that as he views the
unborn years "the gloom of night is
come, a hopeless darkness settles.
How much better for both Judge Nor
wood and his audience if, instead Of
holding commerce" with gloomy re-
Elections, he had been
Eager to hope, but not less firm to
bear,
Acquainted with all feelings save
despair"

For when size reached the parlor door

matter, says:
The care of the immigrants is at
best a burden to the country, which
instead Of strengthening and solidi-
flying tL6 mass OF our people is a
continuous source Of weakness anC
degradation.
The remedy for the existing condi
tons on the farm lies not in getting
other people to do our work for US
but distinctly in learning to do oul
own work. We must change conditions
50 that our sons and daughters MAJ

Bethlehem, N. H., Aug. 26.-The
annual convention of the United

opened here and for the next week
or so there will be grand exempli-
flcation of every variety of sneeze,
from the false or cat sneeze to the
real. robust, roof-raising affair that
always gets a laugh in public. All
sections of the country are represent
ed in the membership of the associa-
ton. Not only have the members
been getting together annually for 81
years, but they bring out a booklet
each year, with all the information
that can be obtained about the dis
ease, its remedies, and the places
places where sufferers are exempt.
No one place meets every mans needs
but Bethlehem is said to hold the
record of exempting the largest pro-
portion of sufferers and, as conse-
quence, this place is always chosen
for the annual meetings.

Bile. The apparatus and other ma.

Clifford Pinchot, the ex-chief for
ester, sums up his opinion in these
words:
If forest is equipped with roads,
trails, telephone lines and reason
able number of men for patrol there
is no more likelihood that great fires
will be able to get started than there
is that great CONGREGATIONS like the
Chicago fire will get started in city
with a modern fire department"
The states of New York, Massachu-
sets, New Hampshire and Maine
have their own systems of protection
against forest fires, in all of which
the telephone plays an important
part. This is not the only case in
which the telephone figures as safe
guarding measure. 1t is being used
in underground mines with marked
success and is being depended upon
by the fruit growers of the west, who
use telephone reports to aid them in
heir fight against untimely frosts.
