Georgia's Able Delegation.
/ Grand old Georgia is to be con-
graduated upon the strength If
the regiment which she is to
furnish for the coming war, Onr
senior Senator Bacon is the rec
ognlzed peer Of any one on either
side IN either house or senate. His
length of service, his gigantic intel
lect, and long habits of study and
thought, as we'll as his known nm
SWerVing devotion to the principles
or true democracy easily make him a
leader. He is SO we'll known to all
that any further enccmium would
be superfuous.
In the recent death of our beloved
Junior senator, Steve" Clay. we
nave lost a worker patient, vigilant,
faithful intelligent and true. Peace
to his ashes. Our hopes from his
successor are based upon his past
record as attorney general and gov
ernor of Georgia. Our only means
of judging any mans future is by
his past, and this makes US confident
that Hon. Joseph NJ. Terrell will give
a good account of himself from the
start.
In the house Hon. w. G. Brant-
ley, one of the legal heavy-weights
of the nation, the massive-brained
little giant" from Glynn, is on the
important judiciary committee.
Judge Adamson, whom everyone
calls Charlie" popular, witty and
solid as Gibraltar" is the ranking
minority member of another COM
mittee of the highest Importance,
that on interstate commerce. Hon.
Thomas NJ. Bell, the democratic
whip" is a business man from
head to heels. He never made a
promise that he couldn't or wouldn't
fulfill, and wouldn't lie to you to
save his seat in congress. Hon.
Charles G. Edwards is the baby"
of the delegation, but assuredly
bud of rare promise" He has al
ready secured a berth on the i'm
pOrtant rivers and haTbOrs commit
tee, where he can be of inestimable
benefit to the state in the develop
ment of our commerce through it's
waterways. and guard the interest
of all our red waters as they wind
their way to the sea. judge Bartlett
of the Macon district has the valuable
asset of long service and consequent
experience, is right and consistent
on the tariff and would rather stay
right than be president. My pen
fails me when l try to do justice
to our representative from the
Third, Hon. Dudley NJ. Hughes. A
Georgia farmer, genial, generous,
courteous, faithful to all that is
good and bitterly antagonistic to all
that is wrong, he is that noblest,
prOudest and best Of all things-a
christian gentleman. l once told
Georgia lady who had known Mr..
since boyhoOd that he was
one of the best men l had ever met.
She answered, 'He couldn't be any
thing else; his mother was the best
woman ever knew" Hon. Thorn
as w. Hardwick is making the tariff
his especial study, and couldn't be
engaged in better business. Inc
from the Second. Mr..
Roddenbery, is a new man, and has
not yet had a chance. He is a man
of recognized ability, however, and
the vim and energy he has displayed
at the start will carry him far.
We will have a brand new repre-
sentative from the Fifth in the per
son of Hon. William Schley Howard.
From the brilliant record he made in
the legislature when but mere boy
and since that time as solicitor gen
eral of the Stone Mountain circuit
not to speak of the WhirlWlnd cam
paign he has recently made for con
gress, great things are expected OF
him. There is also behind him the
powerful incentive to acqult MINI
self with extraordinary honor ana
distinction to atone for beating that
noble old Roman, Lon Livingston.
Georgia suffers a genuine loss in
he defeat of Hon. VIM. M. Howard
Of the Eighth district, who occu-
Died a prominent place on the COM
nittee on foreign affairs. This is
lne of the most imp0"!art commit
.ees of the Rouse, and with the com
1letion of the Panama canal and
he extension of the United States
Is a world power will become even
more so. Mr.. Howard is decidedly
me Of the ablest, best informed and
most intelligent workers in oar par
". and it is to be hoped that cur
fate will not lose his services, but
