81 JAMES B. NEVIN

To-day, or so much thereof as may
be necessary. as they put It in legal
phrasing. win be Joseph M Browns
last day in the Executive Office in
| Georgia.
However many people may view his
| departure, ii may be set down as a
| fact that newspaper men generally
will see him go forth to private life
| with their genuine good will and good
wishes
From the newspaper mans stand p
| point he has been In many ways a
| Governor among a thousand. He has
been an infinite source of good copy,
and by such fruits are good Gov
ernors known in the newspaper mans
world.
Governor Brown, had he elected to
be a newspaper man instead of a
| Governor undoubtedly would have
been a star There never has been
anybody in the Executive office who
could put as much punch" into a
PRONUNCIATION as Governor Brown-at
least, not within the memory OF this
writer
Governor Browns copy never needs
! editing. Whatever he has to say, he
says 1t with the emphasis right where
| It belongs When It comes to putting
the bang" into written document,
| the newspaper craft arise as a man
and call Little Joe" blessed!
| OF one other thing every news
paper man coming in contact with
Governor Brown seemingly is con-
vinced-his courage.
He is the very smallest Governor
| physically the State has had since
| Alexander II. Stephens, but he is fear
less and straightforward in his utter
ances. He has insisted-and rightly
that he be not quoted in the pub
lie prints in important matters other
wise than directly, But when his
written statements have come forth,
they have been the real things!
His sense o. humor is keen and his
good nature irrepressible II one
grows to like him at all, one grows
| to like him all over. Moreover, one
grows more and more to respect and
esteem him as one grows more and
more to know him.
II is but the simple truth to say
| that he has "set a pace" In the ENecu-
| tive office that will not be easy to
follow. He has left his indelible i'm
print upon Georgia history. and IL is
safe to say that he retires with the
regard and high esteem OF a great
majority of his fellow citizens.
|
feels about II.
Senator M. c. Tarver has stated
positively that a bill to create the
! Chicamauga Judicial Circuit will be
| introduced in the present Legisla-
ture, refusing to say whether he or
1 some other member from the coun-
ties affected will be the author OF
| the bill
From Representative Shropshire of
| Chattooga County, comes the sugges-
| ton OF two new counties. Floyd alone
remaining in the Rome circuit; Wal
ker. Chattooga and Dade forming an
| other circuit. Whitfield. Murray and
Catoosa, n third, and Gordon and Bar
town remaining in the Cherokee cir
| cult.
The new Legislature, while prom
Using enough, sim shows its inexpe-
rience and yet hesitating quality OF
Its membership.
When the clerk calls upon those

| the case may be. The custom, Of
| course, is merely to raise the hand,
as sign OF voting
One new member. rememb ering how
| easily he had squelched an adversary
with simple objection earlier in the
| day, Yesterday entered a vociferous
| objection to a motion to adjourn
| Naturally he got good laugh for his
| pains
Nevertheless, the new Legislature
| looks like pretty good bet.
Evidently IL is composed Of untried
material, but that is no sure sign
| there Is not plenty of good stuff in
the makeup of II.
The real leaders OF the new House
are yet to be developed, but they like
ly are there, for all that!
II do not expect to Introduce any
bill but shall occupy the majority OF
my time in helping to kill some other
fellows bill" was the reply of SEN
ator Charles E. McGregor to-day.
when questioned as TO any proposed
legislation which he might introduce
In the present session OF the General
/ Assembly
He continued along the lines Of leg
islation, saying II may introduce a
resolution looking to the restoration
| Of the old blueback speller' into our
| educational system ! shall also ad-
vocate enlarging the duties Of the
game wardens 30 as TO include the
enforcement of all misdemeanor laws
upon the statute books. especially the
| prohibition law ] stand for the en-
| forcement Of all laws or their repeal"
Major McGregor is one of the most
picturesque men in the General AS
sembly. He is a distinct type of the
| old time solon, with quaint Ideas
| about men and things here and there.
The Senator is a devoted follower
Of Tom" Watson and is one of his
most ardent champions upon all oc-
casions,
Both President Anderson Of the
Senate and Speaker Burwell Of the
House are hard at work framing up
the standing committees Of the two
houses of the General Assembly.
This is a tremendous task and re-
| quires much patience and careful con
| sideration. Upon the composition Of
! the various committees uNptUuS "A
very great deal of the Legislature 8
efficiency as a whole. 1t is necessary,
| therefore, that members be placed on
such committees as they seem best
| fitted for, and the determination OF
| that is no child's job.
Both the presiding officers hope,
| however. to have all committee as
| sgnments ready for PRONUNCIATION by
| Wednesday of next week.
The Legislature is going to be
swamped with Fourth of July invita-
! tions.
Already a dozen or 80 have been
sent in, and there are more to come.
The result probably viii be that the

one and attending in a body some

Witnesses to the accident say the boy was knocked down by the horses and that in some manner both ami mals and wagon passed over his body without causing serious in- jury.
 Judge Isgrig was informed that on account of the extreme nervousness of the child his parents would not consent to bring him into court to testify.

GUARDING AGAINST FIRE DANGER AT FARM
State Penitentiary Board Don't Want
 Repetition of Mississippi Horror.

Little Rock. July 24,-After the burning of a convict camp in Missis- sippi in which number of negro con- yicts lost their lives. the members of the Arkansas Board of Penitentiary Commissioners made an inspection tour of the camps on the State Farm to make sure there was no liability of such loss of life at the Arkansas pris- on. Orders were given for the cutting of additional doors in the stockades, in order to insure place of escape for convicts, no matter in what part of the building fire might start
 The convicts at the farm are housed in frame buildings, with bunk lined cell house on the interior. There has been but one entrance to this, but now doors are to be cut in the sides and ends The cell house is constructed of 2x4 timbers. set edgeWays, with an isle all about for the guards to patrol through the night hours. Being of frame, there was little chance for pris- 0ners to burn to death, as an end of the building could be easily knocked out and the prisoners allowed to es- cape.

DANIELS URGES
 COMPULSORY VOTING
SECRETARY DANIELS, OF NAVY MAKES UNIQUE SPEECH IN
 LOS ANGELES.
Says States Should Compel Men Ts Go To Polls the Same As Serve
 On Juries.

Los Angeles, July 24.-That voting should be made compulsory for every citizen of the United States, was the opinion expressed in an address here tonight by Josephus Daniels, Secre- tary of the Navy.
 "If we require our citizens,' said he, 'as we very properly do. to serve on the jury, to bear arms when call- ed upon, to obey any process of the court, however much they may object to giving testimony, to work on the roads in many districts, and to pay taxes whether they approve of them or not, may we not also make it com- pulsory for them to vote;. for the chief and most far-reaching attribute of citizenship is the use of the bal lot
 Continuing the Secretary of the Navy said:
 Provision should be made by every state so as to make voting easy. There should be law by which all officers and enlisted men in the army and navy, all other public officials who are employed away from their place of residence, all college stud- ents who are of age, and all drum mers and railroad men who cannot control their movements, can vote by mail This provision should be and can be properly safeguarded. It Is not difficult. While men and offl- cers in the army and navy and in civil government employment should not be active in politics they should not be deprived of the franchise, but should be required to vote and give their intelligent direction to public policies and the election of public of- ficials.
 Can a man be good American citizen who dodges the duty of vot- ing? If St. Paul gloried in his Ro- man citizenship in the first century, under one of the greatest depotisms in history, how much more should an American citizen in the Twentieth Century esteem this birthright of 1 freedom. If he can forget his duty the state must compel him to recall it. We have come to time in our ] national life when the compulsory ballot must at least be given fair 1 test.

SHARES GUILT
 WITH HUSBAND Mrs. R. A. Powell Says She Forged Fathers Name to Certificate of Deposit. HUSBAND IS IN JAIL Pretty Blonde Declares That Money Was Spent On Herself and
 Their Baby.
HUSBAND IS IN JAIL

Chief of Police J. Frank Stewart re- turned last night from St. Louis, hay ing in charge Richard A. Powell, false pretenses, by forging the name of his father-in-laI, A. V. Perdue, a lumberman of Star City, to certi- ficate of deposit and securing $500 from the Bank of Pine Bluff. 1mmcd. lately after cashing the certificate, Powell, accompanied by his wife and baby left for parts unknown. Chief Stewart got busy and in short while located Powell in St. Louis, where he was placed under arrest by city detectives and held pending the arrival of an officer from this city.
 Mrs. Powell, who is a petite blonde with large, blue eyes, and a chubby, smiling baby boy, whose first birth day comes in few days, accompani- ed Powell and Chief Stewart to this city, and last night while seated in the Chiefs office at police headquar- ters, in conversation with Graphic reporter, said:
 "Yes, we got the money alright. don't know just how to begin to tell you about it, but if you will tell the truth about the whole thing, l will explain it as best I can. You see got the certificate myself and signed fathers name to it, and Dick went to the bank and got the money. Of course, 1 knew it wasn't just exactly right to do thing of this sort, but then, you see, l had worked at home all my life, in the field and in the house, and had never had any mon ey of my own until I was married and 1 felt that it was as much mine as anyone else, so l just endorsed fathers name. l didn't know that the bank would have to lose it.
 We took the money and went tt St. Louis, where Dick had just SC cured a place with the telephone com
 pany at Silkeston, Mo-, when h' was arrested. Most of the money Wal spent on the baby and myself. we are back here now and are go ing to try to make it all right witt father and the bank, and want to sa. that I am equally guilty with my hus band"
 Powell was placed in cell at tn
 city jail and Mrs. Powell and the bab
 went to the Hotel Jefferson for tn 1 night.
