Tippler Is Misft in
Job, Broyles Tells
Painters at Dinner

There is no place in the CONNER
cial industrial, financial or profess
sional world to-day for the man who
drinks" said Recorder Nash r.
Broyles. addressing the 200 contrac-
tors and painters at the second an

Glass Company at the Hotel Ansley
Friday night Judge Broyles said
painters no longer are drinkers as a
class.
There is no responsible position,
no opportunity to advance" he went
on, for the drinker. Employers don't
want him. They knew he can not be
efficient so long as he stunts his brain
with intoxicants.
"The action of the great railroad
systems In refusing to employ men
who take even an occasional drink Is
one big proof OF what / say"
The paint men applauded. Thell
the Recorder added that painters, who
once We're among the worst offenders
in the matter of drunkenness. are i'm
proving steadily.

Since returning from Macon AND
the funeral of the late Senator Ba-
con, Governor Slaton has received
approximately 500 kilograms and
twice as many letters relating en-
tirely to the matter of the appoint
ment of a temporary successor to the
dead statesman.
notwithstanding the fact that this
appointment is, in reality, an appoint
ment of hardly more than three
months active duration, the amol-
ton to receive it apparently obsesses
a score or more of public men IN
Georgia of one persuasion and an
other. While this appointment viii

to the Governor. there is little tax

AS to that matter, the Governor has
had nothing whatever to say for pub

frankly and openly several gentlemen

About the hotel Hobbies, the name OF
Osborne, of Savannah, Is heard the
most frequently just now perhaps.
He is admittedly one OF the master
politicians of the State. In Southeast
Georgia, Osborne stands for big things
by way Of influence and political af-

LOYALTY and fighting ability has been
proven on many a hotly- contested
field. His friends are pointing out to
the Governor that there could be no
better or more fit man picked for the

There was not one ambulance call,
not one doctor call, and as far as we

any family.
The fire department spent a quiet
day. and there was not even a blaze
of minor importance.
From early morning until way into

the city. The town was swamped with
people, and by evening the restaurants
were forced 70 turn the people away,
not a doughnut being left in the places.

The hotels were packed. We sent
the visitors to Davenport, and when
the hotels over there became crowded
the guests slept in the parks and on
the river front We stationed police
wherever the visitors slumbered, so
that they could sleep in peace know
