SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIE.

! legislature is an Atlanta visitor today
Colonel johnson was q staunch sup
porter Of Woodrow Wilson in the pfi-
maries. and has been reported a posi-
BILE applicant for some sort of diplo-
matte mission abroad. The colonel
SAYS however, that he is not seeking
anything at the hands Of the admins
tration-that he merely is wishing 1t
well and hoping that it will be the first
Of many Democratic administrations to
.cOme.
Colonel Johnson is an ardent admirer
of William Jennings Bryan. He be-
lieves the Nebraskar stands head and
shoulders above ali Of them in this
country-and possibly in any other-in
point Of genuine craftsmanship.
The Georgia railroad commission
finds itself in the middle of rather a
bad fix, as far as the blowing Of train
whistles in this state is concerned.
The last legislature passed law
greatly restricting the blowing Of whis
ties, particularly inside the corporate
limits Of cities and towns and now a
petitioner before the commission com
plains bitterly that the trains passing
through his town do not blow their
whistles half enough,
Governor Brown has many admirers
throughout Georgia, regardless, too, in
large measure, of race, color or previous
condition of selvitude.
Della Turner, a colored woman Of
Taylor county, recently became the
mother Of triplets, and, in honor Of
Georgia's chief magistrate, she has
named them Governor" Joseph and
Brown" respectively.
Colonel Walter Steed informed the
governor of this new distinction thrust
upon him. and said he thought it quite
a compliment to the executive, and one
he should appreciate profoundly.

THE BEAUTY SPOT
PLAY A TWO INADEQUATE We.
HicLE FOR FRANK DESHoN TO
DISPLAY HIS Capabilities AS
COMEDIAN.

Frank Deshon, who won many
friends here several years ago. when
he played the part of the little tramp
in Miss Bob White" was seen at
the Grand last night in a new Musical
Comedy, The Beauty Spot" Mr..
Deshons part in the new comedy does
not compare fayorably With his old
role in Miss Fob White and gave lit
tie opportunity for him to show his
real capabilities as u comedian. His
support was poor and his best work
was done when he held the stage
alone. Miss GoIdie Joab, as Nadine
was a clever little artist, and grew
better with each appearance. Her
song when Cupid Comes a'Tapplng,"
made hit as did Deshon's Foolish
Questions" While lacking the sup
mort OF former appearances here and
an attractive vehicle, Deshon's friends
still believe in him and will be glad
to see him again in a vehicle more
congenial to his style.
AS a whole the audience seemed TO
be pleased with the production and ac-
corded them many laughs and good
attention.
