fore them as a candidate for gov
ernor. lie would not he elected to
the Office of governor were toe peo-
pie to vote on the question tonor-
row. This is not the on!ni0r OF one
man, but it is the well-GroUnded be-
lief of almost every wen-;ntormed
man you see in the city of Atlanta
or the state, for that matter
Hon. John M. Slaton, president of
the state senate will succeed to the
governorship for time and may be
elected to the Office if Smith goes
up higher. Slaton pulled down some
law books the other day and said
that he could not, as president of the
senate, entertain the resolution pro-
viding for a senatorial primary. He
ruled it out of order.
Maybe it was out Of order. But
that does not satisfy the desire of
the people to vote on who shall rep
resent them in the United States
senate. This ruling by Mr.. Slaton
has caused more talk than any other
one thing done by the legislature up
to date.
Try for a Deadlock.
I went down to Thomson yester-
II j
with Tom Watson, former populist
candidate for president. Watson
came back to the democratic fold
two years ago and his friends claim
that the party met him halfway.
He had monster barbecue and pic
mic and everybody was invited to be
his guests for the day. He cooked
up one hundred and three 1OO-pound
porkers, several large pots of Bruins
wick stew and ordered a car load of
bread, stationed barrels of ice water
all over the ground about his pub
fishing plant, and everybody looked
happy.
Eight thousand people or more re-
sponded to this well-known Geor-
gian's invitation to come to Thorn
son. They were there all the way
from Texas to North Carolina, from
Arkansas to Florida. People were
present from almost every county in
the State of Georgia, and there are
LAB counties.
Tom Watson made a speech, and
when he had finished he asked all
who wanted to vote on the question
Of who shall be senator from Geor-
gia to take Steve Clay's place to
hold up their right hand. Every
body's right hand, except those liv-
ing in other states, went up. The
women said they wanted to vote on
it, too. Everybody who did not
want to vote on the question was
asked to stick up a left hand, but no
hand went up. Watson says they
have been doing this same thing all
over Georgia wherever he has
spoken and he makes more speeches
than any political candidate, wheth-
er he is running for anything or not.
The monster cotton bagging tent
which covered about two acres of
land, was filled to ~overflowing, and
out Of that big crowd they appoint
ed q committee Of twenty-five men
to go to Atlanta and "sit up with

When kind patrons insist upon

A great many people were natural
1y disappointed that they did not
hear Mr. Watson at all, and others
that heard him only once. For rea-
sons, Mr.. Watson spoke early in the
day, and friends arriving late could
not hear him. On account of the
rain, he could not speak in the after
noon. 1t is not saying too much to
affirm that with majority of the
people, the Chiefs speech would be
the feature of the day.
Other speakers entered into the
spirit Of the occasion with vim and
zest and the addresses were with
out exception pleasing.
1t soon became evident that Capt.
Jack Crawford was not Santa Claus
AS a good old lady uggested-but
very much flesh and blood Ameri-
can, from Dakota, or Texas, or New
Mexico, or Greenland, or New York,
or Georgia, for he is a genuine
comopolite. OF course, Hon. S. J.
Cowan of Emanuel County and Rev.
J. A. SCarboro of Arkansas, and J. J.
Brown OF Bowman are known TO all
our people. 1t was especially graft
flying to hear the young men who
spoke. 1t was with evident great
pleasure that Mr.. Watson gracefully
accepted the hospitality of the city
of Thomson so gracefully extended
the guests by his honor, Major j. B.
Burnside.
Old Man Peepul got to feeling good
all over when the leaders got down to
business.
Nearly seventy dollars were raised
toward expenses Of the committee
that is to be in Atlanta during the
legislative session This fund, and
its subsequent addition, was re-
spouse to the resolution introduced
by F. d. Wimberly.
These resolutions concern 1. The
management Of the free schools. AS
now managed the system costs the
children too much, does not provide
proper text books, and does not edu-
cate pupils into intelligent citizen
ship. 2. The county unit plan must
be restored that the rural districts
do not suffer from city infringement.
3. Passage OF an act giving franchise
to every white man, 81 years old,
who has paid his taxes-"a white
face, tax receipt" 4. Reference to
the people the election of a U. S.
Senator to fill present vacancy.

eight years ago. At. that time the revenue
was Si5. sos. G93 and the expenditure $A3,-

GENERAL BINGHAM'S NEW TASK

The appointment of General Bingham
as engineer of the Bureau OF Highways
appears TO be a prompt response to the
criticisms Of the Bureau Of Municipal
Research. General Bingham is an en-
gineer with the best of training, that
given to engineers In the United States
army, and, moreover, he demonstrated in
The Police Department his capacity as an
organizer. If the report of the Bureau
Of Municipal Research fairly represents
conditions in the Bureau Of Highways
organization is sadly needed. The situa-
ton there remains very much as 1t was
under Borough President Ahearn, which
IS doubtless the reason why the pave
nients were found TO be in no better re-
pair this spring than year or two ago.
The Bureau OF Municipal Research
gays the system Of inspection and super
vision of paving is grossly inefficient
But the truth is there seems to be hardly
any system at all. The paving compa-
MES appear to repair holes In the pave
ments or not, just as they like, some
linus ~ repairing paw tlllcuJ
that is in perfect condition. Inspectors
work eight hours day, while repairs
are made during ten or eleven hours Il
day. And when the inspectors are
present they appear to have no par
ticular means of determining whether a
job Of repairs is properly carried out or
not. Add 60 this the fact that there is
lack Of discipline among the inspecting
force and that corruption in all proba-
bility exists and there is little wonder
that the pavements are constantly full OF
ruts Besides organizing an effective
system Of keeping the streets in repair
the new engineer will have good deal
t" say about what sort of pavement the
city should adopt, for all the kinds at
present used, at least as now laid. are
proving unsatisfactory. General Bling.
ham has a great opportunity i'm his new
office.
