Announcement From

Atlanta, Dec. 19.-Announce-

not startle anyone in particular,
lnasmuch as it has been very
widely and generally known that
Judge Broyles has been an active
candidate ever since the contest
in the Macon convention was
won by Judge J. R. Pottle.
In fact, Judge Broyles has been
rather steadily campaigning ever
since that time. Now and then
he goes out of the city to make
talks and these visits are sup
posed to have been for the pur-
pose of keeping the name of the
Atlanta recorder before the peo-
pie all the time.
Itseems to be doubtful whether
or not Judge L. S. Roam will be
a candidate next year. He left

place, to work on the appellate
bench for a time. His friends
think his ambition will be salts

that he will in all probability re-

Judge Roam is said to be we'll off
and can afford to take life easy.
If Broyles should be the win

years to serve, since he would be

FIRST BALE MAN"
OF GEORGIA IS DEAD

Albany, Ga. Dec. 19.-Deal L.
jackson, known throughout the
South as the ''frst-bale man of
Georgia" and one of the most
prominent negroes in this section.
died in Albany this morning as
he was being hurried to a hos.
pital following an attack of
apoplexy which seized him on
the street just after he had
driven in from his farm.
jackson was one of the most
interesting men in this part of
the state, and though he refused
TO take an active part in politics
was an acknowledged leader of
his race. His big plantation in
the western part of Dougherty
county is one of the best in
Southwest Georgia.
jackson had accumulated a
snug fortune as farmer. His
chief distinction came from the
fact that for many years he
marketed the first bale of cotton
grown in the state of Georgia or
east of the Mississippi river.
Many attempts were made to
wrest the title of first bale man"
from him, but without success.
A few years ago he voluntarily
retired from the field of first bale
competition, but last year he de-
clded to re-enter. The result was
that he again brought the first
bale to market, beating the state
for what was destined to be the
last time.

Two Kinds Of Fallaey.

| In recent contribution to the Letter
box of the Herald on the subject of thu
tariff ON shoes. Mr. Walter +. Creamer o.
Lynn presents two characteristics that art
too often seen in these days among the
critics and the makers of our laws--ar
adroit shifting of the burden of proof
and a loose use of facts and logic to
make them fit pet theory.
In presenting his proof positive that
our shoe industry needs no protection
Mr.. Creamer calmly asks the advocates
OF protection why shoes should not be
put on the free list. OF course that is
putting the thing wrong end foremost.
The burden of proof is properly on those
who would make change and take the
continuance OF the protective policy. The
proper question is why should the tariff
be taken off shoes?" and not why
should shoes not be put on the free list Z"
free list"
There is big difference. The "why
not" method of voting and economic
problems is all wrong and Is full of dan
ger. Ii is the product of a mentally
phosphorescent era and it results in
widowed and halfba legislation. The
multiplicity md suggestions of laws
thrust forward with nothing better than
"whv not" in their behalf is due to
the fact that full answer 10 the why
not usually involves a trip clear back
to the beginnings of history and the
dawn of reason-and few of us have
time for such a trip.
As to the figures presented by Mr.
Creamer to defend his position that the
labor cost Of our shoes is less than in
Great Britain, il may be said that such
a comparison is worse than valueless
unless there is allowance for the grade
and quality Of the product. One great
reason why the American shoe operative
turns ont a higher value Of annual pro-
iuct than the English operative is be-
cause he i set to worl. on more expen- 1

was arranged for him formally TO TAX
the oath today in the Chamber of Depu
ties.
| Constantine, in effect, became king
automatically when King George died
but many formalities remained to be OBJ

claimed him king and today he will TAKE
the oath as king and six months hence
he will be crowned at a formal corona
tion. That function will not occur un.
til the expiration of the half years
mourning decreed by the Chamber OF
Deputies.
The scene in the assembly when Pre-
mier Nenzelos announced the death OF
the king was significant of the univer-
sal respect in which the late king was
held by all parties. Every deputy stood

while the premier eulogized the dead
sovereign All joined in the acclama
tons of King Constantine. which Pee.
mier venizelos invited. The public in
the galleries took up the cheering.
The Opposition leaders also spoke
warmly of the dead king. One Of these
deputies referred to King George as a
martyr who had been sacrificed to the
interests OF the nation.
The chamber adopted resolution to
erect national monument to the dead
monarch.
The first telegram of coincidence the
widowed queen received was from Presi-
dent Wilson of the United States.
