The new State Game Warden,
Charles L. Davis, who was named by
Governor Slaton to succeed Warden
Mercer, has taken hold Of his job quiz
city and unostentatiously but with
an evident determination to make It
altogether useful to the State and
helpful TO the game situation.
Mr.. Davis is, perhaps, the original
advocate Of rigid game laws in Ge1r-
gia, having noted years ago that
game soon would be utterly and
hopelessly extinct unless something
was done to head off the slaughter
His efforts TO get suitable game law
enacted, although strenuous and often
heartily supported by the press, for
years proved ineffective, Finally.
however, a real game law was enact.
ed, and a separate and distinct de-
partment for its enforcement was in
stituted. Since then Mr. Davis has
been a fairly happy man.
The new Game Warden is rather a
quiet and reserved individual rarely
permitting himself to say anything
that might be construed as laudatory
Of himself. 1t is very well known, OF
course that he has some entirely per
sonal and decided ideas as to the
proper conduct Of his office but thus
far he has had nothing much to say
for the public as to what those ideas
are.
He states, in answer to inquiry. tina
he will have nothing to say pubicl2
until he has familiarized himsC,t
~, tat fI u Of n pf n
office and the work already accom-
plished therein.
The Fitzgerald Enterprise of the
current week contains the following
item of news, which will be read by
members Of the General Assembly
with interest and pleasure:
Ben Hill County Is moving on
ward and upward, and to keep pace
with its rapid growth the county now
has two personalities In the Low
er House of the Georgia Legislature.

appearance at the home of Represeu-

American Legation in Berne, Switzer-

Major Lawton and the American
Minister to Switzerland, Pleasant A.
Stoval, are warm friends OF long
standing and 1t is through the per
sonal efforts of the Minister that the
major has been named military at
tache to the legation.

Mothers can rest easy after giving
California Syrup of Figs" because in
few hours all the clogged-up waste,

a well, playful child again. Children

cold or a sore throat, diarrhea. stom-

business in Cuba, where he has been
very successful. Major Lawton WI
not leave for his new post Of duty
until early in April, .as it will require
some time to perfect his arrange
ments for being absent for a consid-
cradle period of time from his bust
ness in Cuba.
He is at present on the retired list
of the army.
Columbus, the county seat of Mus
cogee, where a splendid fair will be
in progress next week, is to set aside
one day for the gathering Of states
men and politicians, real and near.
Everybody who is anybody viii be
there, from the Governor down, pro-
vided said everybody is game enough
to come along and get in the crowd.
Muscogee County, while it always
comes to the scratch with big Dem
ocratic majority. is the banner So
cialist stronghold of the state, never
theless. The Socialists in that ViCin-
ity are numerous enough to compose
the balance Of power in reasonably
close elections, and for that reason,
less carefully cultivated by ambitious
statesmen thereabout.
In the last State election the So
cialist ticket received close around
600 votes throughout the State, and
something like half of them came
from Muscogee. With approximate
ly 300 Socialist votes, COmpaCtly and
aggresslvely organized, one may
readily see how important they may
become in Muscogee on occasions.
Politicians coming into Georgia
from South Carolina generally agree
that it IS to be Senator Blease from
that State, in succession to the pres
ent junior Senator, Ellison Smith. A
great many Of the city politicians in
the Palmetto State, particularly, per
haps, from Columbia. the state Capt.
tai, are opposed to Blease-hate him
even as the devil hates holy water \
as it wCre-but they long ago have
ceased to belittle or to discount him
as powerful and commanding pc
litiCal factor.
Blease generally wins out, for he
is a most adrOit and shreWd politi-
clan lie has fixed his eyes on the
United States Senate as the goal of
his final ambitiOn-and it looks as If,
so say the wise cnes Of South Caro-
lima that he is to achieve it,
Blease is unlike the old time South
Carolina statesman, but he evidently
suits the new order of things pretty
well, and he doesn't seem to be so
very different, after all, from what
Senator Tillman was when he be
gan his career in the Senate, and
before his years of service there had
mellowed him and smoothed off the
rough edges.
And, anyway. Governor Blease's
friends al betting that he not only
will be named Senator in the pri-
maries next year, but that he will be
elected triumphantly and that, more
over, he viii develop eventually into
a most acceptable and effective rep
resentative of his State in the Ma
tional Congress.
