AAe viewed j. j. Browns manly form,
and sighed. He peeped in on Commits
sioner Conner, and sighed some more.
And then he said: 1T makes me
sadder than l can say to see you fell
lows here, playing politics, while I am
out mingling with the common people,
and Just loving them-that's ADJUST
loving them!"
The-the Observation-Disclosures accord
ing to the new Bible-you say" was all
Brown would reply.
And Conner wouldn't say anything at
all! He "ies' laffed"
Those misguided ones who labor I'M
der the impression that the Bull Nose
party is defunct in Georgia, or that it
has ceased it's activity, are nightly
mistaken.
There is big Bull Moose movement
on in the Adairsville district of Barlow
county, and the prize contended for is a
justice of the peaceship.
The fight is a three cornere6 go, and
the Bull Mooser is running ons his own
party showing, while the other two
candidates are splitting the Democratic
vote.
In these circumstances, the betting is
that the Bull Mooser is to win tho
plum.
Governor Joseph NJ. Brown is in
Richmond attending his third national
convention of governors.
The Georgia executive believes that
the house of governors" instituted by
President Roosevelt, may be-and has
been, in many instances-made power
for good in these United States, and
he never has missed g conference called
during either OF his administrations.
The governor finds it a greater salts
faction to deal with an executive of an
other state, known to him personally
and associated with him in one of these
annual conferences, than to deal with
one a perfect stranger Moreover, the
Georgia governor thinks that the meet
ing of the house of governors" tends to
keep alive the doctrine Of states rights,
in which he, like his distinguished
father before him, ardently believes.
In accepting the original invitation
from Governor Mann, of Virginia, who
will be the host of the visiting gov
ernors, Governor Brown said that he
might bring his daughter, Miss Cora
Brown, along with Mrs. Brown and
himself, this year. Promptly by return
mail he received command" from
Governor Mann to do that very thing!
On Saturday the governor, with all
the visiting governors and members of
their families accompanying them, will
be the guest Of President and Mrs. Taft
at the white house in Washington.
1t was entirely characteristic of the
late Joseph NJ. Terrell. twice governor
of Georgia and some time United States
senator, that In arranging for the dis
tributlon OF his modest fortune after
death, he should so have fixed things
that three of the more prominent edu-
cational institutions within the state of
Georgia should come In for a generous
share of It,
The dominant note Of his two admin
istrations as governor was education
of the masses-the proudest achieve
ment OF his five years in the governor
ship was the institution of the eleven
district agricultural schools in Georgia
Governor Terrell's will provides for
eventual legacies of $4,000 each to Mer-
Ger, the Tech and the Normal and In
dustrial school at Milledgeville.
Joseph NJ. Terrell began life as
farmer lad. He came from between the
ploW handles to the governorship. He
knew the people of Georgia, and he
grieved that national statistics for
time put Georgia SO high in its per
centage of illiteracy, as compared with
other states. He set about lifting that
pail OF illiteracy in such wise as he
might--and into the great beyond he
carried this compelling and noble ideal
II takes eight long hours to afflx the
great seal of the state of Georgia to
certain documents.
That is one entire working day-and
what. real good purpose the great seal
serves that might not be served without
it, nobody knows.
1t gives a state document more or
less impressive appearance. perhaps,
but beyond that-why the great seal of
state anyway?
