greater than that of the best steam en-
CINE ever constructed, the department

is 20 per cent, which means that five
units of energy must be supplied by the

tremely vague as to how the returns
shall be made. or, at least, as to who
shall receive them. One section directs
the secretary of state to take charge OF
them; another names the governor as
the proper person, and still another
says the ordinaries. Ulm thinks there
may be three or four more sections
bearing upon the matter, but he has
not yet had time to look them up.
Anyway. the idea the executive de-
partment desires to get abroad is that
the commissions are ready for all the
duly elected justices, if only they will
have their election returns properly
forwarded towel, say the secretary
of state.
There are more than 1900 of these
commissions. and it was some job max
ing them out and getting the governors
and the executive secretarys sigma
lures attached. All that has to be done
now is to fill in the blanks and forward
the commissions
But that can not be done, of course,
unless the right names are on file with
the executive department for the fill-
ing in.
The joint congressional committee on
Federal aid to the construction of good
roads throughout the nation, Of which
Representative Gordon Lee is a mem
Der, has written Governor Brown in
viting his suggestions as to how the
committee shall proceed to the consid-
GRAFTON of its business, now that it is
81 tn h.
The committee particularly requests
that the governor communicate with it
with respect to the general plan upon
which Federal aid shall be exended to
what extent Federal and local author
tiles should Cooperate and likely would
CO. operate, what character of roads
should be considered as eligible, wheth-
er Federal funds should apply to con-
struction and maintenance, or merely
to maintenance, what extent, If any
should Federal SUPERVISION obtain, and
any individual plan or suggestion foI
Federal and state cooperation he may
have in mind.
The committee particularly invites
the governor to answer it fully and

plan for congressional consideration
Is to be perfected as rapidly as posi-

The Savannah News does not look
with favor upon the proposition to
make the Inauguration of Governor

a quiet, straightforward way. The
proposed outburst probably will
not take place on his Inauguration
day.
The idea Of those advocating mil

Mr.. Slaton's Inauguration does not
seem to be, however, that it should be
held particularly with any eye to glori-
flying the new governor, but that 1t

or no. The idea is, nevertheless, that
Mr.. Slaton's election was overwhelm-
ing, and the assembling of the state
troops in Atlanta that day could in no
wise be taken as an attempt to plav
politics or emphasize the fact that a
new executive was about to be sworn
In, and that he himself desired espe-
cially to impress that fact upon the
public mind
The state legislature has shown un-
usual interest in the military of Geor-
Sia Of late, and since it is such a fine
body of men, so we'll organized and
equipped-in short, such a credit to the
state-it has occurred to some that 1t
would be nothing more than right to
gather 1t together when the public
might look 1t over and see what it
thinks of it.
And II not military display when a.
governor is inaugurated, why a mill
tary display when a president is in
augurated? Everybody favors the lat
ter.
Says The Macon Telegraph:
The question now is, What does
the governor of North Carolina
think of the governor of South Car
olina?

Is, there follows another question i'm

The distinctions which prevail in the religious and social world do not influence Gol. An uncon- yerted Bishop is just the same before God as an unconyerted sexton. One has a very high place in the religious world and the other a very humble one. but in the eye of God they BOTH are unconverted sinners on the way to perdition.

There is NONE righteous. no. not ONE; there is NONE that doeth good. no not ONE. All the world is guilty before God.

 WHO GAN BE SAVED?
 ''The son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was LOST ' This is a faithful say ing and worthy of all accepta- ton that Christ Jesus came into the world to save SINNERS.

 How? Being justified BY FAITH we have peace with Cod For by grace are ye saved. Salvation is of God.
 When are you saved? Now is the accepted time. NOW is the day of salvation. TO-DAY if you will hear his voice. Heb. 8: V.
