Governor Slaton was a very busy
man all day Friday.
During his day or so absence in
Brunswick, very heavy mail piled
up in the executive office, which
had to be disposed of yesterday.

Here's to the new county of Warner.
So good bye to Greenville and

The trouble about this of course
is that few people will believe a per-
son so whole souled, companionable

go to any such person, thing or state
of mind as this poet suggests.
Unless the Legislature revoke the
dies non declared Saturday, It will
adjourn on Thursday, August IA
stitutionally limited so.
Dies non has been declared in the
past, time and again, only to be re-
voked before the end of the session.
The great trouble about a dies non,
of course is that the members re-
ceIve no pay for that day whatever,
and II is consequently a dead eX-
pense to them. However, a day gets
to be a mighty precious thing as the
session draws near its end, and the
one dies non declared this session
likely will stay put.
Although there remain only three
weeks ahead of the Legislature, there
yet is no talk of afternoon or evening
sessions. The afternoons are needed
so badly for committee meetings that
they can not be spared.
Before the end of the session, how
ever, both afternoon and evening ses-
sions will be held.

That the first contested appoint
ment coming up for Governor Sla-
toms consideration should have been
decided in favor of Hoke Smith man
to use that ancient and honorable
term in dlfferentiating him from the
other variety In Georgia-may be ac-
cepted, in all probability, as the first
bit Of evidence that Governor Slatun
meant exactly what he said when he
stated that he hoped to be, and would
try to be, a Governor not of any fac
ton in Georgia, but Of all the people.
The Governor on Friday appointed
Miller S. Bell, of Milledgeville, trus-
tee Of the Georgia Normal and In
dustrial School, situated there, not
withstanding the fact that Mr.. Bell
has been an adherent of the Smith
factional end of Georgia politics In
the past rather than of the Brown
end.
There is no question whatever about
the entire fitness Of Mr.. Bell for the
position. Governor Slaton might have
searched the State for months and
not found a better man for the as
signment
These places on the boards of trus-
tees of the State institutions-par-
ticularly the Georgia Normal and In
dustrial School-are considered posi-
lions of great honor and trust and are
conferred upon the very best men
that may be found. For that reason,
pyh h,,t
degree of fervor characterizing the
usual effort for office, they rarely are
declined, and frequently there ara
warm contests for the same.
Mr. Bell Smith man, was ag-
gressively backed by other Smith
men before Governor Slaton. His
opponent, a good man of the Brown
persuasion, was pressed quite as ag-
excessively by other Brown men.
The Governor, in this his first con-
tested case, thought the Smith man
the better fitted, for one reason and
another, for the position, and the ap-
pOintment was made accordingly.
And that looks like a fair and
square beginning III the line of letting
fitness and not faction control in the
executive Office under the new Gov
ernor.
Il wish" said Speaker Burwell to-
day, Il had one thousand pages
Jobs to give out.
There are so many worthy and
splendid young boys who come to
me for appointments and the num-
Der of appointments / have is so
small that it is a continuous matter
of embarrassment and regret to me
that l am unable to crafty the very
great majority of applicants.
The pages OF the House are main
ly young fellows, and the experience
they get during the sessions Is very
useful and we'll worth while to them.
l wish l could give every boy who
applies to me a job-but, of course,
l cannot do that"
