The late Bishop Williams, of Con-

sters, says a writer in Harper's Mag
azine, when he came for a visit to M

stories enlivened the household. Once,
when he was staying with us, he told
the following story;
One Sunday morning, just after
breakfast, l reported to the rectOr's
study where l wos soon followed by
his little 4-year-old son, who climbed
up on my knee and began to talk.
Suddenly the little fellow looked up
into my face and said: "Bissop, do
90 want to see my piggy book%
Yes, indeed, said I. So the child
slid down and started to get the book,
When half way across the room a
sudden idea seemed to strike him, and
running back and putting one hand on
my knee, he looked up in my face and
shook his little forefnger at me, whis
pering, 'Bissop, it's Sunday. We must

CHRONICLE SAYS Smith
WILL GO TO SENATE
Augusta Paper says Governor
viii Resign.

Augusta, Ga, July 1S.-The Chroaf-
Gle yesterday said:
'Hoke Smith will resign the office
he now holds as governor of Georgia,
either Thursday or Friday of this
week. By noon, Monday, July "a, Sen
ator-elect Smith will present his Gre
dentials as the junior senator from
Georgia to the United States senate
and announce himself ready to take
the oath of office. This is the story
that came out here yesterday from in
innate friends Of Governor and Sen
ator-elect SEl.F, following a caucus
held in Atlanta Monday night, when
it is said, both the senatorial and
gubernatorial situation was gone over
Mr.. Smith decided at that time, it is
stated, to resign the governorship aud
leave Atlanta in time to reach Wash
ington Monday morning. There was
some indecision, according to the
story, as to whether the resignation
would be filed today, Wednesday Or
not until later in the week, but the
definite conclusion was reached that
the state of Georgia would have the
benefit of the services of two senat-
Ors not later than Monday.
"The statement also comes that At
the same caucus the gubernatorial
campaign was discussed and it was
decided to bring about some arrange
ment whereby either Tom Hudson 1r
]. Pope Brown would not be in the
race, with the inclination toward con-
centration of the Smith strength on
Hudson in view of the fact that the
Smith following in the state is anx-
ious to obviate a heated and perhaps
bitter campaign"

What A 100000
COUNTY MIGHT DO
Argument in Favor Of the
-Four Mills Road Tax.

Editorial In Atlanta Constitution
Final enactment of the bill which
has already passed the house, and
whose enactment by the senate can
scarcely be questioned, to permit the
counties of Georgia to levy road
tax of four instead of two mills, is
fraught with promise of an impetus t3
good roads building which will make
new record for Georgia, already
leading most other states of the I'M
ion in annual road mileage construc,
ton.
If levied by every county in the
state, four-mill tax means an annual
cash expenditure of approximately
$3,000,O00 upon road development. Add
to this the Communication road tax and
the sum approaches $3,5OO,O0O, in adj
dition to the labor of 5000 convicts
now employed in the daily occupa-
ton of building roads all over the
state. Figure the value of this labor
at 81 per day per man, and more than
81 100000 is added there to Georgia :
annual investment in good roads.
Georgia is now building ten miles RI
good roads a day or more than 5000
miles a year. With this added income
the states annual good road construc-
ton would easily reach 5000 miles
an average of nearly 50 miles to the
county.
Consider the average Georgia coun.
| ty. It's taxable values are in excess
of $5,OOO,O00. 1t is entitled to ap.
proximately II state convicts; it WI!

this number With the four-mill roaC
tax it may have 100000 cash and pos

LET SOUTH GEORGIA CONCEN-
TRATE ON ONE CANDIDATE.

The news comes from Atlanta that
either Pope Brown or Tom Hudson
may drop out of the gubernatOrial
race it being apparent that each would
draw from the strength of the other
and hamper, if not effectually, destroy,
his chances of success. Both would
appeal to the South Georgia senti-
ment, and in order to win it is nee
essary that this sentiment be sOlidid-
ed If South Georgia is to place one
of its sons in the gubernatorial chair
at this time it is essential that it put
on a united front and close mp the
ranks behind one leader. Divided, as
it has been in the past, it could hardly
hope for a successful consummation
of its ambition
The feeling is keen all over South
Georgia that this section is clearly en-
titled to the governorship. That feel
ing, properly organized, would defeat
former governor Brown or any other
North Georgia candidate who might
enter the field 1t is right that it
should be so. For forty years this
section has been shut out of the gov
ernorship. No more opportune time
will present itself than the present to
alter the political current in Georgia
and bring this section into a position
where it can demand and secure a
more reasonable division of the polit-
zeal prizes of the state
The feeling that the danger chiefly
lies in the division Of South Georgia
by rival candidates from this section
is very apparent. The Brunswick
News believes a South Georgia con-
vention should be called to settle on a
candidate and that a vigorous fight
should then be made for the nominee
of South Georgia Other papers be-
lieve that this section should rally to
the support of whichever South Geor-
gian is regarded as the strongest man
in the field. The Albany Herald we'll
sums up the danger when it says;
But the same inevitable trouble
hobs up every time. The South Geor>
gia man may be all right, but when it
comes to electing him to a state office
there are too many Of him In the
senatorial race the South Georgia fore
es were divided between three South
Georgia men, and in the special cleo
ton now about to be pulled off there
are three or four South Georgia men
already announced, and the indications
are that before the list is closed there
will be as many more
South Georgia makes a great noise
about the election of South Georgia
man every time there is a state cleo
ton, but falls down with the regular
| ity Of pig tracks by having too many
candidates for the same office"
Candidly speaking, and with regard
to the fact that he is a Sumter county
man, we believe Tom Hudson is the
strongest candidate South Georgia can
put in the race. If. however, he IS
not a candidate, and Pope Brown IS
then Pope Brown is our second choice
But regardless of personal preference
es, the Times-Recorder believes in
IlSouth Georgia supporting a South
Georgian unitedly, no matter whether
it be Hudson, Brown, Brantley, OIL
some other popular and able repre-
sentative of this part of the state
