hardly sees how he can afford to leave
the Gate City at this time, and Adju-

state war department might be called
ppon at any minute to get into the
Mexican mess, and so he refuses to
bulge toward Washington.
CAPTAIN Harry P. Meikleham, of
Rome who will represent the state Of
Georgia on the staff of Grand Marshal
4 General Leonard Wood in the inaugural
7srade is in Atlanta today.
Captain Meikleham was in Washing
ton Monday, and says the national
capital IS expecting the biggest crowd
/ at the Wilson inauguration the city
ever has entertained for any purpose
whatever.
Having f1ned Judge Fite $500once for
contempt, the state court of appeals
i has resolved to pay no attention to
bis further attacks upon 1t, and IN
4 clirex particularly to view with marked
\ Indifference the judges last outburst.
Maybe the judge will suspect event
\ usnv$hat the contempt shoe has man
i aged to- get! ouAthe other foot.
The fact that the secretaryship of
agriculture admittedly is in doubt, has
4 encouraged anew the friends Of Charles
S. Barrett, of Georgia, to hope and be-
Il !eve he may land the assignment,
Il generally is agreed that the place
i will 60 to one of three men-to Wal
ters, OF Kansas; to Gardener. OF Maine,
\ or to Barrett. of Georgia. And Bar
retgs Endorsements are said to be by
far the heaviest and more generally dis
4 trbuted throughout the nation.
The great national Farmers union
composed OF 5000 900 members, and or
4 ganized in 81 states, has worked up a
tremendous Barrett BOOM He has
4 served the national organization for
seven years as its president, and the
i big union is anxious to have him made
q secretary of agriculture-indeed, the
i farmers go so far as to claim this po-
4 sition as their very own.
Notwithstanding the fact that hun
dreds Of corporations have not yet paid
i their little registration tax, the secre-
4 1ary Of state is not disposed to assess
4 irrevocably the prescribed $50 fine
against them, if it can be avoided.
He is notifying the tardy corpora
4 tions-in red ink-that he will accept
the $3.50 the law allows. If they will
come across now, and not hang fire
n any futher-otherwise, the fine goes!
BY paying promptly, delinquent cor
poations in Georgia can save $3.50.
4 Which looks like good business.
Bishop c. X. Nelson, of the Atlanta
q Episcopal diocese, who keeps a pretty
4 straight line on politics, assumes gen
4 orally neither the usual view of the
81 ergyuan nor of the pubHcist in ar
irving at his political conclusions.
HE bishop believes that Woman's suf-
n rage IS sure to come in Georgia, not
because it is a political question par
ueularly, nor yet so much a moral
question, but that it is a matter of COM
moh sense and rational expediency.
lie thinks, and in that view he gen.
orally Will be thought to be right, that
uie women of the South will be grant
