81 900 PERSONS CONTRIBUTED.
The Total Democratic Campaign
Fund Was $1,1OO.OOO.

The Total Democratic Campaign
Fund Was 81, 100000.
Nearly ninety-one thousand people
contributed to the democratic cam
paign fund. he total of the fund
was something over 81, 100000, and
after all the bills have been paid
there will be a surplus, which will
be used to pay the expenses of the
national committee in the off years
This fund is a record in three re-
spects: Never before have so many
people contributed to one fund; sell
dom has presidential campaign of
one of the dominant parties been
financed on so little within recent
years, and the existence of a surplus
is the most remarkable of all. The
result, besides atttesting to the bust
ness ability of Chairman McCombs
and his associates, is a vindication
of Governor Wilson's confidence in
the great body of the common peo-
pie when he refused to accept large
contributions from special interests
and depended on the people to fl
nance their own campaign. 1t is
probable that the day of the big
contribution has passed.

with regard to tariff revision he is
sued the following statement:
Il shall call congress together in
extraordinary session not later than
April 18th
81 shall do this not only because
l think that the pledges of the party

particular items of tariff revision are
to be should be removed as soon as
possible.

ratify the arbitration treaties with
France and Great Britain. In spite
of that fact he asked his audience to
believe that he would leave the office
with the deepest gratitude to the
American people for the honor they
had given him and with the belief
that enough progress had been ac-
complished in his administration to
warrant him in feeling that he had
done real good for his country. His
humorous references to the burdens
of the white house, to his successor
and to Mr.. Bryan brought forth
round after round of applause. He
gave a toast to his successor:
Health and success to the able,
distinguished and patriotic gentleman

glass while his hearers rose to their
feet, next president of the United

DIES FROM LOCKJAW.
A Young Calhoun County Man Had
GunshOt Wound in Thigh.

Mr.. A. NJ. Bennett, young farmer
who came here from Logansville,
Walton county, about a year ago with
Mr.. ]. M. Garrett of Crisp county,
and with the latter purchased the
J. w. Calhoun farm east of town,
died Sunday between l and 2 O'Clock
at the home of MIR. E. G. Hackney,
who lives southwest of town. His
death was due to lockjaw, which set
in on Tuesday of last week following
gunshot wound which he received
in his right thigh while out hunting
with Mr.. Hackney on October 29th.
Mr.. Bennett was guest of Mr..
Hackney when he was wounded by
the accidental discharge of the lat
ter's gun. Mr. Hackney breeched
his gun after reloading, and the jar
is what caused it to fire, the whole
load going through the flesh of Mr..
Benefits thigh. He was getting
along nicely and was expected to be
out again soon when lockjaw set in.

Even now, when summer zephyrs
bring it floating in at your window
and your soul relaxes, there comes
the resurge of the sense of an ancient
mystery. The stars tremble as of
old and the night hangs as softly
pendulent and beautiful as it did in
the time when you remember to have
first looked up and seen it. The great
lullaby creeps in upon you, your eyes
grow heavy, and as a child again,
still marveling at the mystery of it
all, you sink to sleep
The men of the city get the frogs
legs, but theirs is purely a carnal
pleasure devoid of spiritual refresh

UPHOLDS GOVERNOR BROWN
SUPREME COURT AGAINST GOV.
SMITH INV. ga. RATE NATTER.
Figured in Political Campaigns in
Georgia, and High Court Vindl-
Gates Position of Gov. Brown.
PAGM TWO.

ATLANTA.-Once more the wis
dom and sanity of the opinions OF
Governor Joseph NJ. Brown have been
upheld, this time the supreme court
holding with him that the state OF
Georgia exercised no right to regu-
late interstate commerce, although
the same passed over property own
ed by the state.
This decision came in the more or
less famed case of the fight to com
pei through interstate rates over the
Western and Atlantic from Chatta-
nooga to points in Georgia.
When the Atlanta Freight Bureau
raised this issue many months ago
the railroad commission placed the
issue up to Governor Brown, holding
that the authority to assume the ini-
tiative was vested in the executive.
After mature reflection Gov. Brown
declined to take action relative to le-
gal recourse to compel the rates to
be enforced. He assumed the posi-
ton that the Hepburn act, passed
since the lease of the state road, vest
ed all authority for interstate rate
making in the interstate commerce
commission, and that Georgia would
be engaged in bootless litigation to
attempt to enforce the Georgia tariff
on through business from Chatta-
nooga.
Later Governor Hoke Smith came
into office, and shortly he directed
the attorney general to bring suit
against the lessees of the state road
to compel the Georgia tariff to be
enforced on all business passing over
the state road to and from Chatta-
nooga.
Now the supreme court of the state
holds that this action was only a
plain attempt to control interstate
commerce, which power was lodged
by the constitution wholly in the in
terstate commerce commission.
1t was held that no carrier could
depart from the freight tariffs with
the interstate commerce commission
without mourning the penalties arts
ing under the federal statute The
fact that the state of Georgia owned
the road gave it no unusual powers
to override the rates approved by
the interstate commerce commission,
and that the state stood in the same
attitude as any other carrier in this
respect.
1t was held that the lease agree
ment as to rates was in direct conflict
with the federal law, therefore mop
erative and void.
Governor Brown had no comment
to make today on the decision. 1t
will be recalled that Governor Brown
was severely criticised by his polit-
icaI opponents for taking the same
position as that set forth in the
courts decision.

NEW YORK.-President Taft sang
his swan song as chief executive of
the nation tonight. AS the guest of
the Lotus Club the president respond
ed to the toast, THE President" in
a speech which many of his hearers
considered the most remarkable he
has ever made. He shifted from
grave to gay and from the philosophy
which, he said, four years in the
white house had taught a discussion
of problems which face the nation.
He laughed at the outcome of the
election, smiled when he spoke of
some of the plans of President-elect
Wilson and touched, with gentle sar-
casm, William ]. Bryan.
In his serious moments the presi-
dent earnestly advocated the admis-
sion to the halls of congress the mem
bers of a presidents cabinet; declar-
ed that q six-year term in the presi-
dency was enough for any man; adj
vocated strongly the placing in the

The following is an interesting ex-

Randolph county grand Jury, which

we have found and returned SO
true bills covering the usual VIOLA

of which are due to whiskey and pis-

and the expense of courts would be
very greatly reduced. We find it very
difficult to get evidence against whis-

avoiding to tell the truth or the sell

A WIFE's PLEA FOR DIVORCE.
Has An Earthly Angel for a Hus-
band, But He Won't Talk to Her.

A ST. Louis woman has just
cause for the divorce she is suing
for and the courts will probably set
her free. Her husband does not
drink, chew nor swear and stays
home at nights, but he just won't
talk when his wife wants to talk.
He reads his paper, smokes his CT
CARS and mods his head when his
wife retails the neighborhood Cos
sip. She will doubtless get a decree
with alimony. Perhaps it would be
a good idea for the courts to fix the
alimony at liberal number of words
of conversation daily.
