Post Mortem Remarks On GiIly.

From the Savannah News.
Gi1Iy, Gregg's gopher, the mascot
and weather prophet of the Atlanta
Constitution office, is dead. He fell
seven stories and the Forsyth street
pavement was too hard for him.
Whether death was accidental or in
territorial even Gilly doesn't know
now. It is the nature of the gopher
to burrow, and perhaps he got tired
going up instead of down, although
a newspaper Office is unusually dirty
enough for even a gopher to feel at
home Perhaps Gilly was the victim
Of a cruel error of Judgment. Think
ing from the vice crusade that ev-
erything left in Atlanta was good
enough to have wings he might have
attempted to fly. Or perhaps he saw
his picture in the Constructors car
toons and decided life was no longer
worth living.

Down here in Southwest Georgia,
where we have more negroes than
are to be found in any other part of
the state, the negroes greatly out
numbering the whites in many of our
counties, We have less trouble and
fewer clashes between the races than
they seem to have higher up in the
state, declares the Albany Herald.
That's true The white man and the
negro depend much upon one anoth-
err, and each would hardly know how
to get along without the other.
