The thing that is now puzzling the
, Georgia people is where will Tom
e. Watson break loose next.
Courtesy and obHging disposition
IN business cost no money, but they
bring rich financial dividends.
Governor Blease is right in his de-
mand that no whiskey be bought
from those whiskey houses which de-
frauded the State by the County Dis
pensaries.
It is Senator Tillman's ambition
to die in harness, and we. believe
that large majority of the people of
the State are more than willing that
this laudable ambition Of the Sena-
tors should be gratified.
How such a fellow as Hepburn,
who misrepresents Idaho in the Unit.
ed States Senate, has managed to
dodge the foolkillar for so Ions a
time is almost as great a mystery as
"who struck Billy Patterson"
The Times and Democrat is an ad-
mirer Of Hoke Smith, but it can't en-
dorse his resent action in holding on
to the governorship after being elect
ed to the United States Senate. He
should give up one or the other.
The Greanville Daily Piedmont
says: Senator Simmons, .. North
Carolina, may be Democrat but he
votes exactly like a Republican
would vote If he represented that
State" That is the way it strikes
us.
The Bamerg Herald says that Gov
thing against the railroads. What
does the Herald want the Governor
to do to the railroads? What crimes
have they committed that he should
swat them?
We are glad to see that our old
friend, Joe Hill Hall, is thinking Of
running for governor of Georgia. The
thing could hardly be pulled off in
good shape If Joe Hill did not take
a hand He is q standing candidate
for most any Office that becomes va
cant.
Congressman Hammond, Of Min
nesota, is OF the opinion that Speaker
Clark will be nominated for the pres
idency by the Democrats. He thinks
: that If the Democrats carry the cleo
ton of 1912 it will be by reason Of
Clark's generalship, and that no ar
my ever forsook victorious gener-
al. If Clark can win he is the man
the Democrats are looking for.
We believe it is the desire of the
people Of this country, regardless OF
Senator Tillman succeed himself In
the Senate next year. II all the peo-
pie in the State are like the people OF
this county, Senator Tillman would be
returned by large majority if he did
not make seech In the campaign.
He still retains the affections of the
:. people Of this State to large degree.
We have no confidence whatever
in at least one member of the State
Board of Education, but as he Is a
small man in every way he may be
considered, we are sure that he
could not have Influenced the other
members Of the board. Consequent
" we believe the board acted from
the highest motives in the adoption of
the school books.
Secretary of State r1cCown virtu-
ally nominated State Superintendent
of Education Swearingen as the sue
cessor of Senator Tillman in the Uni
ted States Senate. There is vast
difference in the political beliefs of
the two men. Senator Tillman be-
lieves in the people electing every Of
ficial from coroner to United States
Senator, while Swearingen believes
that the people have not sense
enough to elect their school officials
or manage their schools.
The fight on DR.. Wiley, which is
being carried on by those that he has
made toe the mark under the pure
food and drug act, will amount to
nothing as it is recognized that he
has done much for the health Of the
country by fighting the violators of
the act. They want man there
who will wink at their rascality. DR..
Wiley is not the first man that has
