beard the lion in his den tonight, or
the Demon Rum in his fayorite lair,
or whatever il is-anyway he is
scheduled for trash moving" over
dow Of oratory in Savannah this ev-
ening. and The ultimate object of his
visit to that burg is the closing Of
all the booze" shops,
II was rumored rather Industrious
| ly at one time that Mr. Wright was
! TO be one OF the prime factors In
launching the movement TO put the
esteemed lid" on tight in Atlanta,
| but for some reason or other ne didn't
lend his presence to the recent open
ing-gun meeting in the Gate City.
! Whether the noted Rome orator
was not willing then to let go any
Of his surplus energy on Atlanta, or
anywhere else. with a Savannah en-
Ragement ahead, is not known-all
thar is known, or stated at least, Is
that he was at first booked to open
up on Atlanta, and that he didn't!
Mr. Wright started his tour OF
shutting EN- up IN Rome-which. Of
course, was proceeding Immediately
along the line of least resistance-but
! few people had any idea he would
reach for Savannah until the very
! last!
/ The question now agitating the
minds of many Of the Romans ad-
mirers Is whether it is his purpose
to work from the top down, or from
! the bottom up.
incidentally. he dropped in on Ma
con one day not long ago. and shut
up that metropolls-which was
rather in the nature OF making sure
OF pe half way station, as 1t were.
r. goes without saying that the eyes
Of an interested Commonwealth viii
be glued upon Savannah for a week
or so following MI Wrights visi,
there. IL nc shuts up Savannah a
lot Of harps thereafter likely will
decorate the weeping willow tree!
Savannah is perhaps, at once both
the most engaging and the most
doubtful proposition Mr.. Wright yet
has tackled! VIII he get away with
it? Time alone will tell.
In the list OF those mot voting"
as disclosed by the yea-end may roll
calls in that delightful, venerable and
venerated publication. The Congress
sional Record appears from day to
day about the entire Georgia delega-
ton. Indeed, were it not for the fact
that "ITncle Tim" Mann of Illinois
insists upon an yea -and-nay call Of
some sort every day, thus getting
certain pestiferous things in The
Record, one would not be able to tell
even through n sort of negative pro-
cess OF reasoning, whether the Geor-
gia Congressional delegation is on its
job In Washington nowadays.
However, there is nothing much to
do in the House nowadays-and the
Georgia delegation Is doing that very
well. Most of the members are at
home mixing with the folks.
The good women Of Qutman, de-
spairing of relief upon original mo-
ton of the men of the town have
festive cows off the streets of that
Brooks County metropolis or know
the reason why!
Getting the cows off the streets of
Quitman is by no means as simple
matter as some people may imagine,
however Since few can remember
when, the COWS have roamed the
streets OF Quitman ad lib-they Nave
acquired a sort of title by prescrip-
ton, as II were, to many cuts across
lots, and so forth, around and about
