LITTLE JOE" OYERSTAYED THE
TINE LIMIT.

The conclusion appears to have been
pretty well reached throughout the
state that former Governor Brown
overstayed the time limit and lost out
by Withholding his decision for too
| long a time
If the former governor had promptly
announced his candidacy when it be-
came apparent that Gov. Smith must
retire from office in the fall, at least,
he might have rallied large part OF
his former forces around him and
entered the field with some reasonable
assurance of success.
But the policy Of procrastination that
was pursued seems to have put the ex-
governor out of the race, so far rs
any prospects of winning are con-
cerned.
As is pointed out in the newspaper
of the state, the entrance of the liquor
issue, and the prompt acceptance CT
the issue by Pope Brown and Dick
Russell, has withdrawn public atten-
! ton from the old Smith-Brown issue.
This, at least, is one thing to be CRATE
full for. Attention is now conferred,
and is pretty apt to remain conferred
on prohibition as the main issue Ct
the campaign. Little Joe" will not be
able to divert attention to the state OF
the treasury, the terminals over in
Chattanooga, the Atlanta port rates
scheme or any of the other thriiTeng
issues of former campaigns. The real
genuine, only and not-tO-be-forgOtten
issue of 1911 is whether a man shall
step around the corner and get a drink
or order it from Savannah, Jackson,
vile or Montgomery by express. AS
Bryan would say, that is the para.
mount issue of the hour. And as the
field is already covered by the two can
didates now running there is hardly
room for the ex-governor unless he
wants to help dig grave for the long
cherished gubernatorial aspirations Of
Judge Russell.

SIMPLY TREATED THIS SECTION
WITH JUSTICE.

The refusal of General Manager HiX,
as announced in his letter to the Sa-
vannah Chamber of Commerce, TO
change the schedule of the shoO-fy
train by running it on into Savannah,
will meet with the hearty commenda-
ton of the people now served by that
train, and more especially by those
living in the territory between Able
vile and Americas.
General Manager Xix took the broad
position that it was not just to the
people of this territory to disorganize
Their business and social affairs ny
altering the schedule that has served
them so we'll for some years. And,
from the financial standpoint, he also
pointed out that it would be a case Of
operating the train at loss to run it
on to Savannah at midnight anc. leave
there long before day break.
The general managers letter is
cutie convincing argument that Sal
vannnah was decidedly on the wrong
tack so far as this especial train is
concerned
Amertcus has no connection or inter-
est in the matter beyond the protection
OF the rights and welfare Of this terri
tory The purpose of the fight put ~
here. as stated in the resolutions
adopted, was to insure the retention Of
the existing schedule, not to 6mbarrass
Saannah in any legitimate efforts 70
promote its own interests. But efforts
that injured this city and its territory
are not legitimate and naturally would
be fought to the bitter end.
The thanks of the people of this sec
ton is due General Manager Hix for
his positive declination to alter the
schedule of the popular local day
train. The train is a necessity over
here, its schedule is highly satisfac-
tory, and his action is but a recogni-
ton Of the fact that it is the Guty OF
the Seaboard to serve the people of the
western part of the state and protect
them in the privileges they now enjoy.

The Reason.
MORNING SMILES.

The Reason.
Sad the moment when you wander
Up the attic's dusty stair,
For to seek your last years derby
Which you laid away with care.
Hope takes turn in palpitating
In your bosom with a dread
That you will be forced to purchase
A new skyscraper for your head.
Tenderly you raise the relic
Bearing dust spots like the dew,
Yet you think with careful brushing
Haybe for a while twill do.
Joyfully you seek a mirror,
Happy thoughts your bosom swell,
Take one loOk-your hopes are blasted
Last years derby looks like-yes
That is what it most resembles,
Brim too wide and band askeW,
Wife then remarks, You see now
Why l need a new one, too"
