Bryan says that he would rather
support an "insurgent or progressive
republican than a standpat demo-
crat for president in 1912. And
those acquainted with Mr.. Bryan will
not question that he means what he
says. Col. Roosevelt has intimated
rather, broadly in the last Few months
that he would prefer a progressive
democrat to Y reactionary republican.
Bryan has often accused Roosevelt Of
approprtatinE HE own ideas and now
apparently Bryan is trying to get
even with his rival.

Mitchell is highly regarded by the
republican state central committee
and so Mitchell is to have probably
the most important political meeting
OF the campaign. There is no ques-
ton that Governor Vessey and Con-
gressman Martin and Burke will be
greeted by an overlooking house when
they appear here.

sua1 Etney should Nbe. Because they
do not see themselves paying out the
cost Of transportation over roads, they
do not seem to realize how expen-
sive y is. Every hour of their time
|is worth money. to say nothing of the
interest on their investment. With
out going over the figures. one may
easily. believe that the national loss
from bad roads Is a billion dollars a
year.
Il was observed by the Pierre cor
respondent Of The Republican a few
days ago that the growing purchase
OF automobiles by farmers Of the state
would add impetus to the good roads
movement. In this he is entirely
right. The farmer will be content to
drive his horses. hauling farm pro-
duce Of machinery. through heavy
or rough roads. year after year. But
II will annoy him greatly to be jolt
ed in his automobile when he is out
seeking pleasure. Having spent a
thousand or two dollars for the lux
ury of an automobile, he will gladly
give to a fund for the improvement
of the roads over which he must
speed. 1t is rather odd that men so
practical as farmers will be likely to
do for pleasure what they should have
done, as a matter Of business. But
1t will serve the same purpose and
thus is discovered another use for
the automobile.

Funeral This hiOraiOg at
OdXgrOye.

The funeral services of Mrs. Will
liam R. Speer, who passed away at
a late hour Tuesday night, will be
conducted at 10 o'clock this morning
from the First Baptist church.
The announcement yesterday morn
ing of the death of this venerable
lady was not unexpected, in view of
her long illness.
For many weeks she had been grow
ing steadily worse and it was known
that the end could not be stayed de-.
spite the tender care and attention
bestowed by ner family and loving
friends.
Mrs. Speer had almost reached the
allotted three score years and ten
and was fully prepared and ready to
respond to the call from on high.
She was a consistent member of the
Baptist church, and greatly beloved for
her many Christian virtues.
Had she survived until May. she and
her devoted husband would have cell
ebrated their golden wedding, an oc-
casion that both had anticipated.
Nearly all of the seventy years Of
their lives had been spent together.
AS orphan children they grew up to-
gether in the same household, that of
relative, and at the age of maturity
took upon themselves vows that bound
them together a half century.
Besides her devoted husband, Mrs.
Speer is survived by four sons, Messrs.
Edward, Charles, Emory and James
Speer, and three daughters, Mrs. AL
len Perry. Mrs. Malloy and Mrs. Car
rie Harrington, of Macon.

TWILL GO IN STYLE
TO NV ORLEANS
Shri0erS n..,sabOuts to
Have Two 0epers.

The Shriners of Americus and the
territory round about this city are
going to New Orleans in style Two
Pullman cars will be their homes en-
route and it is not improbable that
they will likewise be used, for sleep
ing quarters while in the Crescent
City, as it is anticipated good hotel
accommodations will be at premium
and a satisfactory proposition has
been made the Shriners for the use
OF the cars on daily basis.
Already nearly enough Shriners OF
Americus have announced their inten-
ton of making the trip in April to re-
quire sleeper for this city alone.
Then there are members from adja-
cent towns, and Albany will have
bunch somewhat smaller than Ameri-
Gus, so it is probable that this terri
tory will utilize all of the space in
two Pullmans.
New Orleans is making prepara-
tions to give the Shriners a royal re-
ception and to entertain them enthus-
1astically and In a thoroughly up-to-
date manner. One hundred thousand
dollars has been appropriated by that
city for the purpose, of which 500
600 will be expended in special cleo
trical decorations. Shriners will pour
in from all parts of the country. Prob
ably not state in the union but viii
have a considerable representation.
Georgia will be on hand to the extent
of probably couple of hundred jov-
ial wearers of the fez
Alec Temple, of which the Ameri-
Gus Shriners are members, has about
1000 members, while Yaarab Temple,
of Atlanta, has 1900 members. These
are the only two temples in Georgia.
Macon will carry it's fight for a third
Temple into the Imperial Council
meeting at New Orleans, but it is
not expected to win.
There are probably 10000 Shriners
in this country and Canada There
are also small army in Mexico and
the Central American states, all of
which are expected, to have represen-
tation at New Orleans next month

BUYERS OF BOOZE MUST
RECEIPT FOR BOXES
Express Go. Puts Into Effect The
Laws.

Atlanta, Ca, March 23-Dismay
was thrown into the camps of the
patrons of Chattanooga and Jackson
vile booze dispensers today when a
new rule of the Southern Express
Company was proclaimed to the eff
feet that hereafter the man who or
ders a bottle or jug must sign for
it in person. Heretofore, the wife,
son, daughter, or even next friend Of
the buyer could sign for the goods.
Now the consignee must sign him
self. The same rule will doubtless
be enforced in other cities of the
state.
