MACON NEWS COMMENTS
ON WASHINGTON LETTER

The Macon News in recent editorial
embodies most OF our last week S Wash
ington letter and says:
Josiah Carter, trained and sea-
soned Georgia newspaper man, who is
sending his paper. the Marietta Jour-
nal, some shrewd comment each week
on public affairs as seen from the van
tage ground of the notional capital,
says that the republicans are still tax
ing comfort in the hope that democrats
will live up to Gen. Grants epigram
and "act the fool at the right time" in
the presidential campaign.
"And he thinks somebody is trying
to have Georgia do her part in the mat
ter this year through the Underwood
movement.
Happily, the Bourbon democrats,
who learn nothing and forget nothing,
and who always made fool of the
party in Grants time, are not in the
saddle in this year of our Lord 1912.

ulation, and as eleven Southern States
have one-fourth of the population, they
must have paid one-fourth of the vast
sum which has already been paid to

than $75,000,000 1t passed the Nc

Snakes stampeded Mail Clerks.

When one of the English mail bags
was opened at the Port Elizabeth
CCape Colony postofice five live
snakes, each about two feet six Inches
long, darted out. Their appearance
disorganized the work in the sorting
department for upwards OF an hour.
after which they were finally captured
and delivered to director OF the
Port Elizabeth museum, to whom they
had been dispatched from West
Brouwich, England. 1t appears that
the snakes, which turned out to be OF
harmless variety, were packed in a
torpid condition In moss-lined wood
en- box, perforated with a number OF
cir holes. It is surmised that the
heat OF the tropics reused the reptiles
from their torpor and that they wrig'
gled out Of the box into the mail bag,
in which they existed for the re-
ma!nder OF the voyage.

maintained at such trouble between
British India and Russia. Therefore,
the possession of Persia will bring
Russia dangerously near India, the
thing OF all others that England has
been fighting against for half cen

alarmed her. Furthermore, 1t Will
give Russia access to the Persian

something OF the utmost important to
Russia's naval power 1T present
Russia can only get ont to sea by the
way OF Constantinople, which is
blocked by the English at Cypress

ships will have to pass through a mar
row passage that can be easily closed
by tie Germans or the English. Her
only port on the Pacific Is Vladiyo-
stok. which is frozen up half OF the

Russia will have port In a warm
sea and where she can exercise
strong influence upon China, Japan

eXrlicable why England. which has

The island Of Corsica. although a

the Partisan journals. The Corsicans
aave. 1t appecrs. decided penchant

and the millionaire a singular misap-

that. milIionaires be candidates be-
cause of the mama that falls upon
their country during an electoral
campaign, but they do not desire to
