ners or appraisers The cases in which
they arrive are not even opened. The
invoices Of lists, Of articles describing
the shipment are accepted without ques-

"WILL KILL REPORTER
SURE AS GOD IS GOD"
Especial Dispatch to The JournaI)

AOpSNldA OASpdlCn TO Inc JOuEIdl.J
MACON, Ga, March IA mild sensa-
ton was created in recorders court yes
terday, when Mrs. S. B. Merritt, secre-
tary of the local delegation of w. c.
T. u, arose in the trial Of Jennings Bur-
kett. a 1O-yesr-old youth. and produced
a half pint of rye whisky, she claimed
she saw the lad purchase from Mrs.
Margaret P. Flahive, saloon proprie-
tress. Recorded Daily declined her in
reference and told her 90 report the case
to the chief of police after court.
The little Burkett boy was formerly
an inmate Of the Hephzibah orphanage
and when he told of how he could buy
whisky, Mrs. Merritt accompanied him
down to the saloon, gave him 25 cents
and after several minutes, he came back
with the whisky, which he declares he
purchased from Mrs. Flahive.
Chief o. Police W. b. Chapman subse-
quently refused to make case against
Mrs. Flahive on the unsupported testi-
mony of the boy but STATED that if suf
fcient evidence was secured, a charge
would Immediately follow.
Mrs. Flahive threatened the life Of sew
eral press representatives when they call
ed at her place to secure a statement
about the reported purchase.
If you use my name in the paper,

she declared. ut is lie from start to

does decide to run, will surely attack
no man now in the race or likely to en-
ter il, for he is known by enemies AMI
friends alike as a man without vim
dictiveness and without willingness to
call anyone his enemy. 1t is known
further, through this same process of
assumption, that if Mr.. Hudson becomes
a candidate for governor he will receive
his support regardless Of fractional lines,
from all divisions of Georgias DEM
ocracy.
Therefore, if he is a gubernatorial can
didate. he win be the farmers candi-
date as well.
The recent conclusion of the legisla-
tive investigation into Mr.. Hudson's de-
partment, resulting in an impersonal YER
dict holding the laws governing the de-
partment TO blame for much but ex-
onefating Mr.. Hudson personally, has
been echoing over the state ever since its
publication. 1t spoke for itself. 1t
was read by everyone, and each reader
interpreted it for himself.
OF all the newspapers in Georgia, just
two construed the verdict of that COM
mittee otherwise than as a vindication
Of Mr.. Hudson.
All the other newspapers regardless
of whether their political sympathies
were with the Smith faction or the Brown
or the Russell or the Populist or else
where. conceded that the result COM
pletely exonerated Commissioner Hud-
son: that he was not. as had been re-
peatedly imputed, a political scalawag,
a scheming politician. And with them
stood the opinion of the newspaper read
ing public. The investigation was voted
to have been honestly and fairly con-
Quoted and to have reached a just and
well-founded conclusion; but every
where the fair-minded public repudi-
ated the efforts OF those not associated
with the investigation to make it appear
as the biggest scandal In the state in a
generation.
1t has long been known in political cir
cles that had not that investigation been
set off and made to burn in red fire
at just the Psychological time. Mr.. Hud-
son would have been "a candidate for
governor last fall TO fill the unexpired
term OF Gov. Hoke Smith. Mr.. Hudson
was known to have been considering
the urgings OF his friends to this end
at the time the resolution was introduced
In the legislature, calling for the in
vestigation. The result was as had been
anticipated. Neither Mr.. Hudson nor his
friends could force an early conclusion
OF the matter; and he did not become a
candidate.
