more impressive, OAa
as 8 rule.
Governor Brown will stay here in
Georgia, Governor elect Slaton is to
remain at home, Mayor Woodward
hardly sees how he can afford to leave
the Gate City at this time, and Adju-
4 tant General Joe Nash states that the
state war department might be called
upon at any minute to get into the
Mexican mess, and so he refuses to
Il bulge toward Washington.
Captain Harry P, Meikleham, of
h Rome who will represent the state of
Georgia on the staff of Grand Marshal
General Leonard Wood in the inaugural
parade, is in Atlanta today.
Captain Meikleham was in Washing
ton Monday, and says the national
capital is expecting the biggest crowd
at the Wilson inauguration the city
ever has entertained for any purpose
whatever.
Having fined Judge Fite $500 once for
contempt. the state court of appeals
has resolved to pay no attention TO
his further attacks upon 1t, and in
clines particularly to view with marked
Fl Indifference the judges last outburst.
Maybe the judge will suspect event
ua,Iy that the contempt shoe has man
Il aged to get on the other foot
The fact that the secretaryship Of
agriculture admittedly is in doubt has
encouraged anew the friends of Charles
II 5 Barrett, Of Georgia. to hope and be-
Il Heve he may land the assignment.
1t generally is agreed that the place
Fl will go to one of three men-to Wal
"a ters, Of Kansas; to Gardener, OF Maine,
or to Barrett. of Georgia. And Bar
II retts Endorsements are said to be by
N far the heaviest and more generally dis
n tributed throughout the nation.
The great national Farmers union.
Il composed Of 100000 members, and or
n ganized in "a states, has worked up a
ID tremendous Barrett boom. He has
81 served the national organization for
HI seven years as it's president, and the
n big union Is anxious to have him made
N secretary of agriculture-indeed. the
Il farmers go so far as to claim this po-
h sition as their very own.
Notwithstanding the fact that hun
& dreds Of corporations have not yet paid
q their little registration tax, the secre-
n tary Of state is not disposed to assess
II &irrevocably the prescribed $50 fine
HI against them, if it can be avoided.
& He is notifying the tardy corpora
# tons-In red ink-that he will accept
Fl the $3.50 the law allows if they viii
come across now, and not hang fire
Fl any further-otherwise, the fine goes.
N BY PAYING promptly, delinquent cor
po.ations in Georgia can save $3.50.
n Which looks ike good business.
Bishop c. K. Nelson, of the Atlanta
NJ Episcopal diocese, who keeps a pretty
Straight line on politics, assumes gem
e'aUy neither the usual view of the
clergyman nor of the publicist in ar
FVlhg at his political conclusions.
Inc bishop believes that woman's suf-
rage is sure to come in Georgia, not
because it is a political question par
ucoarIy, nor yet so much moral
question, but that it is a matter of COM
i"oh sense and rational expediency.
ne thinks, and in that view he gen
