The former Governors friends
throughout the State constantly are
specializing upon and wondering
what he will do now that he is no

was much talk going the rounds TO
the effect that Little Joe" might

tentions are with respect to that
1t is known fact, nevertheless.
that the Ex-Governor has received
hundreds of letters within the last
two months, urging him to announce
for the Senate.
Governor Brown always has been
a man inclined to keep his own coun-
sel-he never says Wh4 he intends
doing until he fully has made up his
mind
If he intends running for the Sen
ate, he will likely make that inter
esting fact known in due season

For days labor a man can buy
more wheat than he could 25 or 80

nutrition as well as social economy to
increase the quantity of cereals in
our foods and to diminish those nutri-
ents which are of less necessity and
of increasingly higher price.
To my mind IL seems, the most
important factor Of the day is to
check tie aggregation of men in the
cities and to encourage the distrlbu-

men are employed.

Recorder of the Police Court of At

successful race against Judge Pottle
for seat on the Court of Appeals
bench, it has been generally accepted
as a fact that Judge Broyles again
would have a try for that high office
so soon as opportunity should arrive.
Judge Broyles expects now to make
the race against Judge Richard b.
Russell. whose term Of office expires
January l. 1918. In the meantime
Judge Russell will have become Chief
Judge of the Court, and the contest
between the two may be lively. if not
bitter. in the extreme.
There can be no sort of doubt that
Judge Broyles will make most for
midable candidate He will, indeed
run against Judge Russell with some
things in his favor that probably
weighed against him in his race
against Judge Pottle
For one thing, Broyles is a North
Georgia man, and so is Judge Rus

pitted against a South Georgia man

bench. too.
Again, he has the prestige of his
last wonderful race behind him,
whereas when he ran against Judge
Pottle his strength was problematicaL
While Judge Broyles has not figured

may be to his advantage also-he is
known by reputation from one end
Of Georgia TO the other. both as a
fearless official and clear thinker.
He is young ambitious. aggressive.
and will be backed for anything he
