MERCER NOT ON THE PAYROLL
Game Law. Makes No Provision
For Salary of State Warden.

For Salary of State Warden.
ATLANTA.-NOw Jesse Mercer,
state game warden, has been handed
a hard jolt, and it is all through the
new game law, which, as has been
handed out from time to time, has a
| few score of imperfections in it.
But Warden Mercer probably new
er thought of it affecting his indi-
vidual status until he presented a
warrant for $889.47 for his Septem-
Der and October salary and expenses
of operating the department to
Comptroller Wright.
General Wright said he had very
grave doubts as to whether or not
he could legally pay the money
why is this?" moaned Warden
Mercer.
Then General Wright explained to
him that so far as he could gather
through careful reading that there
was no appropriation for any such
purpose in the bill. Careful inves-
tigation also revealed the fact that
the measure had never been treated
as an appropriation measure by the
legislature, so there was apparently
no law for paying Warden Mercer
any salary or expense money.
In order to make certain the ques-
ton was put up to the attorney gem
eral, who held that Comptroller
Wright's view was correct and that
the warrant could not be legally
paid. This warrant for $889.47 was
signed by Governor Hoke Smith on
November 13, just two days before
he resigned from the executive of
fee
One thing that makes Warden
MERGERS plight all the more tragic
is the fact that not so long ago he
turned $4,000 into the state treasury
from collections from license sales. !
1t is hardly probable that he will
turn in much more from now on,
however, because once he gets it in
the treasury he can't get any of it
out again.
Educational Bill Imperfect.
A serious imperfection is said also
to exist in the White educational bill.
lnasmuch as no appropriation was
made to pay three supervisors.

Sparta and Miss Parrish of Athens
the auditor and other necessary ex-
penses arising out of the widened
scope of the new law.
1t was feared at first that the new
act might practically be knocked out
until next summer, but Attorney
General Fielder ruled that the new
officials could be paid out of the
general school fund. 1t, however,
was not the legislative intent to cut
in on the general school fund, but tc
make special appropriations for this |
purpose.
The general assembly will have
plenty of work next summer correct

work of last summer.

THE M,NAMARA CONFESSIONS.

The most profound sensation that
has developed during the trial of the
Mcnamara brothers was sprung at
Los Angeles, Cal, Friday afternoon,
when James B. Mcnamara pleaded
guilty to the dynamiting of the office
of the Los Angeles Times, and John
]. Mcnamara to having destroyed
the LeweIlyn Iron Works.
For several months past the trial
of these celebrated cases has been
under way at Los Angeles, and many
unusual features have marked its
progress from the very beginning.
The difficulty to obtain a jury has
been exceptional, and has been a
matter of great tediousness. Then
came efforts to bride the jurors after
the jury had been finally chosen.
The cases have attracted national
attention, as the destruction of the
office of the Los Angeles Times and
the Lewellyn Iron Works has been
recognized as acts of the most das-
tarly kind, made more heinous still
by the large loss of life which hap
pened with the former deed. The la
Dor unions of the entire country have
rallied to the support of the McNa-
mara brothers and raised large sums
Of money for their defense without
having investigated the nature of the
charges against them, and the sur
prise in the case is that the brothers
should have given up their fight for
freedom, as they would have had
support from these sources indefi,
nitely.
The confession of the McNamaras.

ganized labor prior to his arrest.
will necessarily have its effect upon
labor unions.

POTATOEs AND DOLLARS.

The Industrial Index, published al
Columbus, wants you to consider
Farmer Toole, and we second the
motion. He grows potatoes-sweet
potatoes, such as are grown only in
this part of the country.
Farmer Toole's potato patch is
near Macon, Ga. This year." says
The Index, he grew potatoes Oh
twenty-four acres of land and sold
the crop for $4,100, a very large pro-
portion of which was profit. Pota-
tees require very little cultivation
and but small amount of fertiliza-
ton in this part of the country.
Farmer Toole's labor in growing po-
tatoes on the twenty-four acres con-
sisted principally of planting the po-
tatoes, watching them grow and sell
ing and harvesting them. None of
the twenty-four acres produced less
than 200 bushels, and the yield of
one acre was 289 bushels Farmer
Toole had no more trouble in finding
market for his potatoes than he did
in watching them grow. He sold all
OF them at retail and wholesale in
Macon, and the market was far from
being glutted. Indeed, many bushels
Of potatoes other than those grown
by Farmer Toole have been market.

There are opportunities in Geor.
gia for many Farmer Tooles.

WAVE THE DISTRESS SIGNAL.

Campaign Manager Williams and
Candidate Pope Brown are floun-
dering, which is a sure sign they
see disaster just ahead for fond
ly cherished political ambition.
Having started out with prohibit
ton as their paramount issue
the one and only issue-and hav-
ing failed to fool the people into
the belief that it has a place in the
campaign they have switched their
trolley and are now making an eff
fort to line up for Mr.. Brown the
followers of Senator Smith, who
does not himself oppose the sale of
beer and wine and did not favor the
TiDpins bill when he was governor.
But in this they will fail as they
have with their prohibition fake, for
Senator Smith is not an issue in this
campaign nor are his progressive
policies in danger Jas. l., Ander-
son, his thrice campaign manager,
personal friends are now actively
and earnestly supporting former
Governor Joseph M. Brown.
In face of the fact that Hon. Pope |
Brown started out to save prohibit
tion," which has never been in dan
ger, his eleventh hour effort to |
arouse the old partisan feeling is a
wave of the distress signal that is
as unexpected as it is surprising. |
He should be glad that the people |
are getting together and forgetting |
the bitterness of past campaigns,
and should contribute his part to-
ward healing the old wounds instead |
of opening them afresh.
The people of Georgia want polit-
ical peace, and are going to proclaim
it with their ballots Thursday.

Governor O'Neal of Alabama is, of
course, correct when he says that the
voice Of the people can reach to the
legislators. But one great difficulty
says the Savannah News, is the fact
that the people forget so quickly.
If the people could, or would, only
remember what they want and how
they want it there would be much
less difficulty about legislation. But
the people "get hot under the collar
about a certain question and stay
hot" for short while; then they
cool off and forget all about it,

Hon. Oscar Underwood, the dem
ocratic leader in congress and one
of the able young men of our sister
state of Alabama, is looming ur
more or less conspicuously as a can
didate for the democratic nomination
for president. Mr. Underwood is not
in high favor with Mr.. Bryan and
other politicians who make bust
ness of being progressive" but he
is no doubt the South's best chance
if this section is to be recognized in
the selection Of a ticket.

Today is the last one of the cam
paign, and tomorrow the voters will
march to the polls and name the
man they want for governor. Unless
all signs fail Joseph M. Brown,
whose administration was one of
the best Georgia has ever known,
will be crowned with the approval
of his fellow-citizens by a triumph
