THE SENATORIAL SITUATION.

1t has been announced that Mr..
Terrell, the newly appointed United
States senator, will be a candidate
for that office before the legislature,
or before the people if primary is
called by the state committee, and
Hon. w. A. Covington of Moultrie
and Congressman T. w. Hardwick Of
Sandersville have let it be known
that they are not averse to serving
the people in the upper branch of
congress. There are very few, how
ever, who believe that the contest
will be confined to these three; in
fact, it will be a surprise if all of
them remain in the race to the end.
There is no doubt that Senator
Terrell will be in the fight to the
end, and Governor-Elect Smiths am
bition to wear the senatorial toga has
been so frankly admitted by himself
that it is almost certain that he will
be a candidate for the position be-
fore the campaign gets very old
There is also talk of the demo-
cratic executive committee calling a
primary before the legislature meets,
in order that the people may select
Mr.. Clay's successor.
Mr. Smiths friends claim he has
a majority in the legislature. 9th
ers say that while he has a small
majOritp in the house there is a ma
jority against him in the senate.
which would make the result on
Joint ballot doubtful. No doubt
the situation will be thoroughly
canvassed in the next few days, and
the result will in all probable
ity determine Mr. Smiths course.
1t rs but natural that he should have
nothing to say until he surveys the
situation and sees how the land
lays
Some take the position, among
them the Savannah Morning News;
that the calling of a senatorial pri-
mary would be a confession by Mr..
Smiths friends that he does not con
control the legislature. They say
that the state executive committe is
composed of his friends, and that
they would not call the primary if
his election by the legislature was
certain
In any event, no one can foretell
what is going to happen There is
nothing to do but wait, and if we
wait long enough we will see what
We will see.

TWO FOSTERING SORES.

1t is common report that there are
gambling and liquor selling in Daw-
son in almost open defiance OF law
and decency.
No community can be cursed with
two evils that are calculated to do
as much harm, and the law and pub
lie opinion should rise in their ma
iesty and protect society by driving
the offenders from their nefarious
occupations.
There should be no room in Daw-
son for gambling bells and blind
tiger dens.

The countess is in hospital, where
she is recovering from injuries said
to have been received in her home

AN IMPORTANT CONVENTION

The fourth convention of the Chip
Flint-Chattah oochee-Apalachic
Waterways Association has recently
been held in Albany, with dele
gates in attendance from various
points along these important inland
waterways. The purpose of the or
ganizatiOn is to improve the Aplachi-
cola system of waterways for COM
mercial purposes. Congressman S. A.
Roddenbery of the Second district, w.
c. Adamson of the Fourth, and H.
D. Clayton of the Second district of
Alabama were present and made ad-
dresses, all of whom pledged their
best efforts to the carrying out of
the aims of the association.
Congressman Clayton, who made
the principal speech of the occasion,
sees great benefit to agricultural and
business interests of this section from
the improvement of these rivers. He
asserted that the Apalachicola sys-
tenn of waterways is one of the most
promising and worthy of its kind in
the United States, and is coming
to be recognized as such by congress.
While other rivers and waterway
systems are showing a falling off in
the amount of commerce handled
this system shows yearly increase.
We make a showing in these val
leys," he said, 'of $2O,OOO,OOO in
commerce, and we can show con-
gress that we can increase it to $780,
100000 The best way to determine
that we want these improvements is
for the people to attend these con-
ventions. Our people ought to be in
terested. If cotton could be carried
to deep water on these rivers it could
be done for rs cents a bale. Under
present conditions it costs S2.45
per bale. Can you realize what that
means to the business man and to
the farmer of this section? Figure
"a million bales in these valleys and
you can see what it means. The
merchant will be able to give the
farmer from IS to a cent more per
pound for his cotton.
And then there is the bringing
in of freight" said Congressman
Clayton. why not bring it all the
way by water? Why not bring mer-
chandise from New York around the
gulf and up these rivers? To do
this we must have an outlet to deep
water, and the government has al
ready provided for it in approving
the st. Andrews canal project. The
first appropriation of 100000 has
been made, which insures the COM
pletiOn of the canal. You may say
what you please about Uncle Joe
Cannon, but the fact remains that
we have Uncle Joe to thank for this
appropriation. Two hours before the
bill was to go into the hands of the
public printer Uncle Joe Cannon
handed me note to the chairman
of the committee, and when he re-
ceived that note the chairman re-
yised his views on the subject and
placed our appropriation in the bill"

SENATOR TERRELL.

AS was generally expected, Gov
ernor Brown has appointed Ex-Gov-
ernor Joseph M. Terrell to succeed
the late Senator Clay until the legls-
lature meets next June, when it will
be the duty of that body to elect a
senator for the unexpired term of
four years.
The new senator is 40 years of
age, and has served the state faith
fully in various positions of honor In
October 1884 he was elected to rep
resent Meriwether county in the gem
eral assembly when he was % years
Of age. He was returned for a sec
ond term, but when the Alliance
wave swept over Meriwether county
he was defeated in the primary for a
third term. In 1890, ia hard
fought campaign, he was nominated
for the state senate. After his sem
ate term he was elected attorney
general while only thirty years of
age. He was reelected in 1894,
1896, 1898 and 1900. In February
1902 he resigned that Office and be-
came a candidate for governor and
was elected, and was reelected in
1904.
Senator Terrell is very popular
personally, and has thousands of
friends all over Georgia who con-
graduate him upon his new honors.
That he will measure up to the du-
ties and responsibilities of the high
trust and serve the people of the
state well they have no doubt.

Expects Bigs Things in Corn

From The Triton Gazette
In the Terrell Count Corn Con
test a yield of 161 and 1856 bush
els to the acre won first prize. It
looks as if the possibilities of South
Georgia soil were just being realized,
even by the men who cultivate it.
A few years ago fifty bushels was
considered phenomenal crop, and
i've years ago Tiff county farmer
broke the record with "a buhels.
In few years we expect to see 100
bushels only a fair yield and 200 and
more a big crop.

South GeOrgia's Pull.

From the Valdosta Times.
South Georgia does not get much
recognition in affairs political in
Georgia, but South Georgia is getting
to be strong enough to make a
strong pull for a more equal distri-
button. 1t is a section too rich and
populous and the people are too sem
sible to allow the section to be a
mere tail to the North Georgia kite.

TITLE To SOCIALS
Tigers, Contenders for Local
Lightweight Champion
ship, Defeated.
ANDREWS IN LONG PUNTS
Spectacular Playing Responsible for
Victory. Score Being 2 to O.
Both Fight PluckiIy.

The Rock Island Social club es-
tablished its claim to the lightweight
football championship of the city
yesterday afternoon by defeating the
Tigers. another local team, by a
score of 2 to 0.
The game was fast and furiousIy
contested by both sides, but the win
ners had all the better of it until
the last quarter, when the Tigers
twice broke away for what looked
like a sure touchdown. Ralph An
drews' long punts were responsible
for the Socials' victory. Repeatedly
he kicked out of danger. and the
only score of the gams was made
when the man who recovered one of
them was pushed over the line for a
safety.
The Tigers won the toss and de-
Tended the north goal. The Socials
kicked off and soon recovered the
ball on downs Through the quar-
ter the play was in the Tigers ter
ritory with the Socials threatening
to score Shortly after the second
period began, Andrews got off a long
punt for the Socials and Martin Sage
pushed the man who recovered it
over the line for the only score of
the game In the last quarter the
Tigers twice threatened to score.
Drop Kick Blocked.
A drop kick was blocked and a
Tiger man recovered it and started
for touchdown with a clear field.
Andrews of the SOcials outran him
and tackled him about half the dis
tance from the goal Neither team
could make consecutive gains and
the Socials had the best of the punt
ing game. Andrews. II. Sage and
Juhl starred for the winners and
Hughes and Stapleton for the losers.

NELSON IS PUT
OUT OF The Game
Durable Dane" Sustains First
Knockout of Career at
Hands of Moran.
FINISHED IN nth ROUND
Englishman Master of the Former
Champion at Every Stage of
Battle at Frisco.

San Francisco, Nov. 2S.-Battling
Nelson of Hegewisch, Ill, will no
longer menace the lightweight belt.
For the first time in his fighting ca
reer the durable Dane" shell of
the once great pugilist, was knocked
out Saturday afternoon beyond all
dispute by Owen Moran, the sturdy
lad from Birmingham, England, in
the presence of one of the largest
crowds ever assembled at a glove
contest here. Moran knocked Mel
son out in the 18th round of sChed-
uled 20-round event, his victory be-
ing clean and leaving no room for
argument as to his complete mas
terry over the one time champion.
But he was compelled to drop Nell
son five times in this round, for de-
spite the force of the BritOn's right
hand punches on the point of the
chin, the wonderful fighting spirit of
the Dane was ever present.
Nelson Up In Hurry.
One second after the final count
had been tolled off and Referee Ben
Selig shouted you're out, Moran
wins" Nelson was on his feet with
blood streaming from his mouth and
nose loudly impOrtuning the referee
to permit him 10 continue.
Moran throughout, from the first
tap of the gong, proved himself the
complete master and there was not
one round fought that could be &C
credited to Nelson. The Dane was
always the aggressOr, his evident in
tention being to force Moran to
fight close. In this he was accom-
modated but the battle was scarcely
two rounds old before Moran showed
he. too, could fight at Battler's own
game. Round after round Moran
would step back, side step and dance
around the aggressive Nelson. all the
while shooting in straight, fOrceful
punches to the jaw and head and
seldom receiving a punch in return.
The Finishing Touches.
The 18th and final round opened
with neither fighter perceptibly in
distress. Moran. who apparently had
been biding his time for a finishing
blow, was given his chance when
Nelson. with bowed head, rushed
into close quarters. Moran flung his
right forward. catching Nelson flush
On the jaw and down he went to his
launches for the count of nine. Mel
son tottered to his feet bleeding and
glassy-eyed. Moran stood waiting.
Again the Britons right shot out
and Nelson dropped The perform
ance was thrice more repeated. Mo
ran each time reaching Nelson's IN
protected jaw with his right. and
