Captain Meikleham was in Washing

Having fined Judge Fite $500 once for

has resolved to pay no attention to
his further attacks upon it. and in

The fact that the secretaryship of
agriculture admittedly is IN doubt, has
encouraged anew the friends of Charles
s. Barrett, of Georgia, to hope and be-
aeye he may land the assignment e.
1t generally is agreed that the place
will 60 to one of three men-to Wal
ters Of Kansas; to Gardener, of Maine,
or to Barrett. of Georgia. And Bar
retts Endorsements are said to be by
far the heaviest and more generally dis
uibuted throughout the nation.
The great national Farmers union,
composed of 5000, 900 members, and or
gained in S4 states, has worked up
tremendous Barrett boom. He has
served the national organization for
seven years as its president, and the
big union is anxious to have him made
secretary of agriculture-indeed, the
farmers go so far as to claim this po-
ston as their very own.
Notwithstanding the fact that hun
dreds of corporations have not yet paid
their little registration tax, the secre-
tary Of state is not disposed to assess
|ineyocably the prescribed $50 fine
against them, if it can be avoided.
He is notifying the tardy corpora
uons-in red ink-that he will accept
the $50 the. law allows, if they will
come across now. and not hang fire
any further-otherwise the fine goes!
BY paving promptly, delinquent cor
po'atlons in Georgia can save $3.50.
