Colonel Clayton Robson, of Milledge-
vile and other points, has returned
from Gay Manhattan. where for
month he has been seeing the sights.
Colonel Robson, who knows more
people IN Georg than anybody, espe-
cially those Of a political turn of nina,
went to New York on November / for
the express purpose of being in "the
| biggest town in the country" when the
| Wilson and Marshall triumph was re-
corded, as he confidently expected it
to be.
The victory was so overwhelming and
so conclusive that it required exactly
% davs after election for Colonel Rob-
son to finish his celebrating. The Mil
ledgevilleite says everybody in New
York is glad the Democrats won out,
and an unprecedented rush for the pie
counter is anticipated in all quarters.
The Floyd county grand jury, which
adjourned Thursday. has requested the
courtys representatives in the next
legislature to introduce a bill forbidding
absolutely the sale of pistols in Floyd
county.
1t was pointed out by the grand jury
that crime is on the increase in the
county that the prohibition law is vio-
lated constantly and fiagrantly and that
many citizens tote" pistols with Inn
punity and in no fear OF the law or the
authorities.
The grand jury says it found many
instances of violation of the prohibition
law that should have been returned for
prosecution, but that 1t frequently was
utterly impossible to bring a true bill
legally, because OF the reluctance of
many witnesses to testify TO facts the
grand jury felt morally sure existed.
The grand jurys returns have set
many Floyd county people to thinking.
for the superior court of Floyd has been
very vigorous in it's prosecutions OF
prohibition law violators Of late.
In all probability another law will
be introduced in the next legislature
along the line Of the late Tippns bill
but not by Mr. Tipplns. as he isn't
coming back-and in all further prob
ability, it will not pass.
Indeed, it is doubtful whether it will
be possible to effect any additional pro-
hibition legislation in Georgia for some
time to come, as the average legislator
who will discuss the matter at all is
| frankly opposed to opening the ques-
ton again for any purpose whatever.
There is one member of the forth
coming house however, who already has
/ announced his intention Of offering
bill modelled after the Tippins measure.
and he will make vigorous fight to

MI Howard would make a most eX-
cellent secretary of the interior, or
would fit equally as well into the at
! torney generalshp.
Although extremely modest and in
clined, in way, to hide his light under
| a bushel-certanly he never has
| sought nOtoriety-Mr Howard is
| known in Washington as one of the
very ablest men that ever SAT- in con-
gress from the South. Indeed, it is a
fact that John Sharp Williams now a
senator from Mississippi, frequently
said, when leader of the Democratic
minority in the house, that therexwere
more brains In BIZ Howard's Mead"
| than there were in body else's head
on the Democratic side The Missis-
Nsippian was an open, frank and enthu-
siastic admrer of Mr.. Howards un-
| questioned craftsmanship.
! If Howard, Of Georgia. should be
made secretary of the interior he
would make a secretary pretty much
after the fashion Of Hoke Smith. And
there is not a public official in Wash
| ington today who, was there when
! Hoke Smith was secretary of the in
| terror VINO will not tell you that the
present Junior senator from Georgia
was one OF the most thorough and eff
| cient secretaries the interior depart
ment ever had.
| If Mr. Wilson is looking for bust
nesslike, palnstaking, perfectly compe-
of the interior, he can find him in Will
! liam NJ. Howard, of Georgia. No mis-
take about that. He is full size for the
| job.

riculture- elect, who recently petitioneu
unsuccessfully the governor to commits

| Conner under executive appointments
! for which office he received a number Of
votes in the popular state election, de
clares that he will take no further steps
to secure the office. in the face of the
governors refusal to commission him.
Mr.. Price says:
There has been a good deal said as
to what course / would pursue in case
the governor refused to commission me
at present, and ! have received num-
bers of letters from all over the state
and many inquiris In person as to what
course I would pursue in case he did
refuse.
For the benefit Of the public, as well
as many inquiring friends. l take this
mode of saying that az the governor
seems to be positive in the position
that he has taken, do not care to car
ry the matter any further or to go into
court with it, but shall accept the gov

A REMARKABLE FEAT
IN ROAD BUILDING.
Three Thousand Men Build BIB Miles
of Road in Single Day,

Three Thousand Men Build 33 Miles
of Road in Single Day.
An example of what may be ac-
camplished in ths matter of building
good roads. and story that should
interest keenly ,an dutomobile own
ers and enthusiasts is contained in
the history of one days efforts bf
the citizens Of Chandler, Okla, to
better roads of the country SUI
rounding that town In one days
time 80 miles of road We're comple--
ed and not penny expended for the
work. Here is the story:
The proposed work had been
carefully planned and on the ap-
pointed day tAf county seat of
Chandler was deserted. The mayor
issued a proclamation declaring a
holiday and merchants, bankers,
professional men and artisans re-
ported for work. Two thousand
teams and 5000 men gave,stheir ser
vices for eight hours to build the
road, half of which is of hard sur
! face and the remainder of dirt, fur
nishing a base for motor cars on
the one side and for the unshod far
mers horses on the other, and pro-
viding a road that is suitable for dry
weather or for wet.
At 7 O'Clock in the morning the
whistles of the factories of Chandler
announced that time was called for
these men, a large number of whom
were unfamiliar with the handling
of mule teams, scrapers, shovels
and dynamite. But capable bosses
were in charge of sections Of the
road, the organization worked to
advantage and Lincoln county
boasts Of a 33-mile good road that
was built without the expenditure
of a penny.
Persons travelling over the road
while it was in course of eonstruc-
tion were asked TO pay toll-1n
good humor, the workers asked thai
the driver OF each vehicle pay S in
to a fund which will be used to
maintain the road. Responses were
lprompt; all drivers passing through
the country showed sympathy with
the movement and many dollars

ttGf 1t<ttCs
In order to get as thoroughly as

fare commission yesterday afternoon
at its meeting in Dallas decided to
hold meetings later at Houston,
Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio,
Austin and Abilene. Houston will be

present laws are affecting injuri-
ously the material prosperity of the

lowed by efforts to remedy condi-
tons through corrective legislation.
AT yesterday afternoons session
Judge R. c. Duff of Houston. was
elected chairman and ] A. Arnold

lowing We're elected vice-chairmen

Lawyers, bankers, plumbers,
school teachers. clerks. merchants
and farmers worked side by side.
The spirit of cooperation was in the
air, with the stores of Chandler
and other towns closed for the day,
the interest OF the populaee turned
to this volunteer enterprise which
had been crystalizing for many
months, and the army worked in
unison.
At noon the women of the coun-
try served a great dinner The table
was 33 miles long and boiling pots
OF coffee were available at every SIX
teenth of a mile. Hot food was serv-
ed along the entire line; it was the
longest dining table recorded in the
history of road building 2A

QWhMe the meningitis situation
throughout this section of the state
is, to a degree, alarming. we do not
believe the condition warrants re-
course to such extreme measures as
quarantine. Dallas, Fort Worth and
Waco, points from which such dam
ger as there may be is most threat
ening, are, for their own protection
and preservation, doing all possible
to prevent further spread of the
disease by enforcing a strict isola-
ton of all sufferers from the dread
malady. But there are other precau-
lions which Waxahachie and other
cities and towns might enforce to
the good of the people in general
All epidemfcs of infectious and con-
tagious diseases are largely trace
able to a class of citizenship which
can be termed -gad-abouts, and
the liberties of this class might be
restricted. Unnecessary travel
should be avoided by all and home
should be kept bright, cheerful and
clean Peddlers, beggars and all
such other mendicants should be pre-
vented from mixing and mingling
with the people. la
so far as possible those public gath
erings which draw together within
narrow confines heterogeneous mas
ses of people should be called off
for the time being. We believe that
the adoption of plans along the lines
herein suggested would give a more
certain protection to the people than
would the establishing of quaran-
