ON POLITICS IN GEORGIA

down as being in Rome" County in
stead of in Floyd" County, and 1t
had to go back for correction. So ex-
acting are the red tape methods in
the Postoffice Department that it was
two good weeks before the commis-
sion got back, shaped up as it should
be.
Postmaster Barclay. the efficient
outgoing official, could not see where
he stood to shed unnecessary tears
over the situation, however. as 1t
rounded up an even 500 for him that
he wasn't expecting to get!
Senator f. H. Elkins, OF the Fiji
teenth District, already has grown to
be one of the best-known men in the
General Assembly.
He is democratic in his ways and
the dignity OF a Senator, while duly
appreciated by him, does not sit too
heavily upon him. He is a good mix
er and makes friends easily.
Mr.. Elkins is a fine business man.
and is looked upon generally as safe
and sane in judgment, and as a man
whose word always is as good as his
bond. He evidently is destined TO
take high stand in the present Leg
islature.
Mr.. Park, OF Liberty, objects TO
Latin phrases in proposed bills and
resolutions
When Mr.. Wright of Floyd. sent a
resolution to the clerks desk the other
day. proposing that certain days to
be taken as vacation be declared dies
non" Mr.. Park promptly objected.
He said he didn't know what dies
non" meant, and he didn't propose 70
vote for something he didn't know
anything whatever about!
Amid the chorus of noes" entered
against Mr.. Wright's proposal, Mr.
Parks was easily the most vociferous.
The present Legislature, by the
way. doesn't seem inclined TO do any
thing calculated to run the legislative
session over its natural nifty days
limit.
Congressman Thomas w. Hardwick.
Of the Tenth District, is in Atlanta
for a few days.
Mr.. Hardwick has announced his
intention not to be a candidate to sue
coed himself. He desires to enter &C
lively into the practice of law, and
feels that he can not well spare fur
Their time to Congressional service.
The Congressman from the Tenth
has had ten years experience and
in that time has risen to be one of
the real influential men in the House.
He is attentive to his duties, and
has a particularly keen insight into
things. He is now a member Of the
House Committee on Rules, which IS
the highest evidence of his standing
among his colleagues.
Hardwick still is a young man, and
has many years Of usefulness ahead
of him. Ii is a matter of genuine
regret to thousands Of Georgians that
| he has elected to retire at the end
| Of his present term.
Next week will see the beginning OF

BY JAMES q. NENIN.

The political hosts in Georgia may
not realize it quite, but when William
Michael Bairman, of The Macon Tel
egraph. passed away on Thursday
last the best informed man on things
political in Georgia ceased to be.
Not only was he the best informed
man in Georgia on State politics, but
he was one. of the sweetest and gem
TEST characters that ever lived with
in the Commonwealth.
Mr.. Bairman was modest to an ex-

never saw 1t figure in the head lines

death
He 1t was who kept for years that
remarkable scrap book" of The Tel
egraph, so often invoked by his chief
Colonel Pendleton, to the chagrtn,
humiliation and undoing of an antag
onist!
II ever you. Mr.. Politician, did any
thing in Georgia that got into a
newspaper somewhere, you may rest
assured it was in this fearful and
wonderful scrap book"
And yet Mr. Bairman did not keep
that book for the purpose Of humil-
Eating or undoing antagonists so
much as he kept it for the honorable
and worthy purpose Of perpetuating
genuine history and keeping the rec

not have hurt the feelings of God s
humblest creature if it might be
avoided!
Like the other men Of his kind one
occasionally meets as one passes
down the way Of life Mr.. Bairman
was exceedingly generous to his fell
low men, both in judgment upon them
and in ministering TO their material
wants. He rarely il ever spoke an

Taste for Melons

it. Despite the fact that a large sup

The other years it takes close and
very careful calculating to make
both ends meet without ordering beef
tongue and OK tail soup. But the
condition is this, Why should we
knock ourselves (by knocking our
country because we have one good
ordinary year? The men Gets call
him boy just for joke) in our
valley that have had six or seven
good years and extra good ones at
that and have probably been boosters
during that time in small way but
when one year comes that he only
plays even or lose small amount
he suddenly becomes knocker. Does
this man appreciate what he has?
Does he appreciate what he has
now and what he may have another
year? Does he forget that we are
creatures of hope? Who knows but
what next year will be the banner
year OF the Payette Valley. Well
do we know that our expenses have
been too high. both state. county
