Banners VIII be strung all around
and about the lobby and the walls
| Of the hotel, and the merits of the
proposed grand young county of
Gambler will be shouted from the
house tops, both vociferously and elo-
quently from this time forward.
Representative Burwell. Of Han

the speakership pretty well sewed up

both Judge John T. Allen and Sen

1t long has been thought to be
quite the fit and proper thing for
| candidates to have headquarters" in
Atlanta, and nine cases out of ten in
the Kimball House Sometimes. the
walls and ratings are far too limited
in extent TO accommodate the ban
ners and things, and other devices to
| catch the eye of the incoming mem
/ Der are adopted. In all cases, how
! ever, the warfare for position and
| glory is merry enough in Georgia,
| and the incoming Legislature will
| have its share Of excitement, no
| doubt
! Representative Stills, Of Meter. who
] has In charge the fight to create
| Gambler County, Is very optimistic.
| Discussing the subject to day he said:
THE Legislature is sure to create
| Gambler County. Already we have Sc
| cured pledges from 1873 out Of 1874
members. That is well over the nee
| essary two-thirds required in passing
| constitutional amendments
There is practically no opposition
to the new county. Seven Of the
| eight newspapers published in the
| territory affected are favorable to II.
| Indeed, they are fighting for II. The
| counties Of Bulloch. Emanuel, and
/ Tatnall, from which the new county
/ will be taken. have a combined ter
/ ritory Of 2,400 square miles, and of
! that It win require to create Gambler
4 only SOL. This is no new proposition
we have been agitating the matter
/ for nine years-Rnd this year, we get
it,"
The friends Of A. o. Blalock. of
! Fayette County. more generally
/ known as Bud" are congratulating
| him on being named Collector Of In
| ternal Revenue for Georgia, notwith-
4 standing the fact that the tip long
ago came straight from Washington
/ that he was TO win the plum.
There hardly is a man in Georgia
better known than Blalock and few
| that have more friends. He has serv-
ed in the Legislature, in both the
/ House and the Senate, time and again
and never has been defeated for Of
| fee.
Mr.. Blalock expects 70 take his Of
| fee about the first day OF July.
Peace reigns again over Banks
mill pond at Midtown, and its en-
| virons, the cases against a number
of citizens charged with fishing in
the pond without consent Of the own
er. having been nol-prOssed In the
| city court at Nashville.
| An agreement was reached between
/ r T. Berryhill. lessee Of the Banks
| property and each Of the defendants,
which was satisfactory 10 the court
and Game Warden Mercer. with the
result that Judge Christian dismissed
the prosecutions.
The cases attracted much attsnthUn
/ IN the State, by reason Of the news
paper interviews given out by War
| den Mercer and his Deputy Bois-
| clair. and the severe criticism OF these
! officials by the people at Midtown.
| Il Is understood that in future peo-
| pie who want to FISH in the pond win
| obtain permission from Mr.. Bsrryhfi

| covered by the pond. and that Mr.
Berryhill recognize permits given by
| other land owners
This is about the old status OF af-
fairs. but II is not believed there Will
be any further trouble.
! Governor Browns final message to
the Legislature is about shaped now,
and will deal more or less exhaus-
| lively with many problems. solved
and unsolved, coming 10 his attention

The Governors message has not vet
been reduced TO presentatable shape.
however, for IL is fashioned after a
manner wonderful in the extreme and

ten out almost entirely on the backs
Of used envelopes, and is entirely in
pencil The writing is so small and
fne. as almost 20 be iuegible 10 the
naked eye. but every single letter
and every group is finished as COM
pletely as If five times the space
were taken up IN the writing.
| Governor Brown writes an amaz-
Iingly plain and clear hand. but as
Amazingly plain and clear as it is,
IL is even more amazingly small. To
the bottom Of the document, however,
he attaches a signature elaborate and
imposing in the extreme. Those who
have sen il never forget it,
/ Governor Browns relations 10 the
incoming administration are very cor
dial. and there will be nothing by
way of conflict in his farewell mes
sage and the initial message of Cow
ernor Slaton. which will follow in a
few days later
