testihes glorious and delightful things
in re the quail
Mr.. Evttt is the state deputy game
warden for Mil Creek, and should
speak authoritatively. Evitt says that
Jim" Kinsey says that there are more
quails than one can shake a stick at
around and about Mil Greek. The
| Dalton Citizen vouches for the excel
/ lent reputation Of Kinsey-so this
would seem to be true story. all right
Mr.. Kinsey says he can hardly get
about in his fields for the nests full Of
quails' eggs. and that some Of the
birds, more venturesome and bold than
! the ordinary, actually have been laying
eggs in his hens nests.
Moreover says Kinsey. the farmers
Of his vicinity are complaining bitterly
| that they can not keep corn in the
ground at all because the quails come
along and peck It up hungrily and
greedily A soon as humanity clears the
way and they can get at It.
Il used to think there were a lot of
English sparrows in my neighborhood,"
said Kinsey to Deputy Warden Evitt
recently, but this year the quails have
them skinned block They are be-
coming perfect pest and nuisance on
my farm!"
A colored brother from Dixie
says he was offered 81 900 to vote
for the colonel in Chicago. and re-
fused it. He probably doubts there
! is that much money in the world
Whatever one may have thought of It
early in the game. Trox Bankston's
claim that he has eighty odd weekly
newspa pers committed favorably to his
candidacy for one of the railroad COM
missionerships seems to be borne out
by developments.
A score or more of Georgia's best
known weekly newspapers have an
nounced themselves heartily and ag-
excessively for Mr. Bankston, and twice
as many are leaning decidedly his way
The Rossville New Age expresses a
prevailing sentiment, and in about the
usual words, when It says of Mr.
Bankston's candidacy:
Mr.. Bankston is asking for po-
sition which will be voluntarily
vacated by the incumbent Judge
George Hillyer, and does not expect
formidable opposition in the pri-
mary. 1t is our opinion, and we
feel that the same IS shared gen
orally, that Editor Bankston en-
bodies the requisites necessary to
the satisfactory administration Of
the Office of railroad commissioner.
1t looks as If the Bankston boom is
growing and fourishing in weekly
press pastures, anyway.
Baltimore has a reputation as a
city of bargain funerals" The
managers of some Democratic
presidential booms may find
measure of consolation in this fact.
Frank W. Copeland. former repre-
sentative from Walker county. will be
a candidate to succeed Judge John ".
Maddox on the superior court bench of
the Rome circuit in the event the Judge
resigns because Of his acceptance of
the presidency of the State Mutual Life
Insurance Company. of Rome.
Mr.. Copeland is letting his prospec-
tive candidacy be known frankly to mis-
friends
] Randolph Anderson. of Savannah.
will perform the pleasant duty of sec
onding the nomination of Oscar Under
wood for the presidency of the United
States. in Baltimore.
Mr.. Anderson and Mr.. Underwood
were college mates and class mates,
and that Mr.. Anderson second his nom
ination IS a particularly personal re-
quest from the Alabaman to the Geor-
gia delegation.
Mr.. Underwood admits that he was
moved largely by sentiment in this
matter
And there is a good deal Of sentiment
in the house leader, as those who know
him well long ago found out
