(COMMENT.)


No. this is the time for T. E. w. to stav
at home and board at the same place. He
thinks this is the time for Atlanta to have
all that her patriotic sons desire His only
regret IS that In the nature Of things there
are not enough offices to give at least one to
every patriotic son of Atlanta
They are indeed most deserving lot of
blpeds. They are SO eager to immediate them
selves upon the affairs of duty, that many
OF them must necessarily wait until we can
secure another supply of affairs
Ill fares the land to fastening ills prey,'>
when there are not enough affairs of duty to
go around.
That's what's the matter with Georgia,
right now. O for more affairs!
1t seems that when we elect a man to be
Governor, he Immediately forgets that he was
elected Governor, and either appoints himself
Senator, or appoints some obEging gentle
man who agrees that the Governor shall
become Senator at the earliest possible
moment.
We had hardly finished gloating over the
election of Hon. Hog-eye Smith, as Cover
nor, before he signed his own commission as
Senator. Thus our children's children we're
bereft of the glorious things that he was to
do for them, as Governor.
Our children>s children are going to COM
plain Of this, when they hear about it.
Next came Slaton. Think of the courtly
manner in which the suave John Marmalade
made hash out Of HON Hudsons aspirations
to live in the Mansion
Think of Dick Russell splitting tobacco all
over the State, and doing it, to no practical
purpose!
Think of Whooper Alexander Juggling with
might and main to carry one county
And think of the Hog-eye man who loudly
came down from Washington City to cast his
vlrtuous ballot for Whooper.
No wonder the mighty Smith had to pro
vide for Alexander after the election-us
as he had to provide for Robert Hitch. after
saying there a0asnt anything IN Washington
for Hitch.
Alexander knew too much on the Hog-eye
man; Hitch knew too much on the Hog-eye
man: tbey had been en- bed aeith him, AND
THEY KNEW THINGS.
There is another little chap that Smith q0iU
haze to obey, whether he wants to or not:
and in due time y0u acazJ see Smith obey.
More of this, later.)
Now as to the Hon. j. Marmalade SlatOn,
he fell into the hands of Clark and Albert
him was plenty.
the premises. UIm is great institution. He
froze Joseph NJ Brown toward all the men
who had worked for Brown but who had no
earthly use for Ulm.
And that's one reason that Joseph M. came
to grief. Ulm isn't worth hell's room, except
to slip and slide around the corridors, look
ing Solomonic, and dropping dead flies into
the political pot liquor.
TocoY,b M Brown nnvnr did size I'm Him.

(COMMENT.)

Congressman Walker has become dev0ut
Smith worshipper and is now 'in bed with the
hogeye man."
He can't answer those questions.
The new tariff law is a fraud upon the
people.
(1) Had the Democratic leaders been
honest, they would have presented to Presi-
dent Wilson the very same bills that they
passed up to President Taft.
o. The new Money law enormously
increases the power and profits of the
National banks.
And Senator Hog-eye Smith demanded
that his own national bank in Atlanta be
made practically one of the great Regional
Banks.
(3,) The Democratic party has always
been against national banks, until the sell-out
which put Wilson and Bryan in power.
1t wouldn't be difficult for some good man
to beat Walker for Congress.

Here's Another Roman G0at Who
Needed a New Pasture.

IT'S Father G. X. schadewell, the pet ram
4 Of Bishop Kelly, of Savannah Georgia.
Father G.. x. is the person whose head was
earnestly belabored by his own walking cane,
In the hands of Jerry Walsh.
The beating Of Brother G. X took place in
Bishop Keily's house, May 1913:
And now the news is published that the
health of Father Schadewell is impaired, and
that he is to be transferred"
All, ha! [ thought So Jerry Walsh
wouldn't leave, and therefore Schadewell had
to go.
Alexander H. Stephens had brother
named Linton, and the nurse of Little Alec"
while Federal prisoner at Fort Warren, was
a Roman Catholic
Linton visited his brother in prison, and
the brother is said to have encouraged Linton
to wed the nurse. Anyway, Linton did so.
The home of Linton's family was in Sparta,
Ga, and it naturally happened that priest
was assigned to the Linton Stephens family.
Well, the usual thing happened. The priest
kept concubine whose skin was off color and
whose hair was wool; and whose baby by the
priest was mulatto.
The priest was transferred"
His mulatto souvenir was left In Sparta,
as a gentle reminder that he had been there.
So, no more at present about these manly
men who wear shimmies and frocks.

Here Are Some Questions That
Congressman j. r. Walker
Cannot Answer.

AeAAREEUI FAAK5EWCEe
Ocilla, Ca, April 8, 1914
Hon2J. R. Walker, M. c.
Washington, D. c..
nEAR SIR Having received one of your cir
- cular letters setting forth what the present
Democratic Congress has done, is doing, etc, 1
beg to ask:
LIST. If the tariff legislation vetoed by Mr.
Taft was good, why not the same presented
to Mr.. Wilson?
End Does not the Banking and Currency Act
give the National banking system more power?
3rd. Has not the Democratic party always pre-
tended to oppose National banks?
Thanking you in advance for the information,
I beg to remain,
Yours truly,
w. w. STRICKLAND.

Hace va alg1n tempo, Juan Jose Ia

Ver6is como operaban los infrascri-

pecie de limbo menor, cuando Sc le

Hab6is de saber que una "porra" en-
el pintOresco l6xico de los senores ia

CONGRESS DECIDES
 NOT TO ACT UPON
 PENDING TREATIES

Washington, July 25-"Final and cop per-riveted determination" was expressed tonight by democratic members of the Senate foreign relations committee not to act on pending treaties at this session of Congress unless unforeseen or unex- pected circumstances appear Failure to report the Colombian treaty also carries with 1t the determination to hold no hear ings and not to act on the request of Colonel Roosevelt to be heard.
 The wish of the administration that the treaties be acted upon, however, was ex- pressed today in formal statement by Secretary Bryan, who also outlined how the conventions differ from the arbtra- ton treaties in force. According to the Secretary of State the arbitration treaties do not prevent recourse to hostilities with regard to the causes included in the excep- ton clauses These exceptions generally are '"rhe vital interests, independence and honor of the two contracting parties. and the interests of third parties'' It is the intention of the treaties now being exchanged says the Secretary, to close the gap and leave no cause for a declara- ton of war and the beginning of hostili- ties until there has been a years investi- gation of the differences. 'These treaties' he asserts. ought to make war impossl- ble."

ever, that the time was too short foy local manufacturers to prepare for the exposition and that the manufacturers desired the exposition be held near the time of the State Fair, as the exhibits for both events were prepared at tho same time
 The exposition last year was held in tho Gipsy Smith auditorium and was consid- cred a big success. It was held in No- vember, but the date was changed this year in order that the exposition might prove an added attraction for the mer- chants convention. It had been planned to hold the show in East park inside an enclosure made of canvas much like chautauqua. A carnival company was to be engaged to add the to the amuse- ment feature of the affair.
 Chamber of Commerce officials in charge of the entertainment features of the merchants convention state they are very sorry to see the exposition post poned, but since such has been done that something else will be added to the con vention programme to make up for the loss. Work the merchants conven- tion is under full headway by the whole sale trade committee of the chamber and while nothing definite has yet been done, the preliminary preparations are progress ing satisfactorily and the committeeman state that indications are the convention will be an even greater success than last year.
