Governor Brown will stay here in
Georgia. Governor elect Slaton is to
remain at home, Mayor Woodward
hardly sees how he can afford to leave
the Gate City at this time, and Adju-
tgnt General Joe Nash states that the
state war department might be called
upon at any minute to get into the
Mexican mess, and SO he refuses to
nudge toward Washington.
Captain Harry p Meikleham, of
Rome who will represent the state of
Georgia on the staff of Grand Marshal
General Leonard Wood in the inaugural
parade, is in Atlanta TO-DAY.
Captain Meikeham 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 fined Judge Fite $500 once for
contempt. the state court of appeals

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
5. Barrett of Georgia, to hope and be-

II far the heaviest and more generally dis

Il The great national Farmers union,
composed of 100000 members, and or
gained in 81 states, has worked up a
tremendous Barrett boom. He has
served the national organization for
seven years as it's president. and the
n big union is anxious to have him made
secretary of agriculture-indeed, the
II farmers go so far as to claim this po-
n SitiOn as their very own.
Notwithstanding the fact that hun

n their little registration tax, the secre-
ary Of state is not disposed to assess
d meyocably the prescribed $50 fine
n against them, if it can be avoided.

the $3.50 the law allows. if they will
come across now. and not hang fire

BY paying promptly, delinquent cor
poations in Georgia can save $3.50.

clergyman nor of the publicist in ar
