Somewhat Peeved at Defeat.

French electors occasionally have
some home truths thrown at them by
candidates who fail to secure enough
votes. At the last general election NJ.
Albert Norman, a chemist and drug
gist, who was a candidate for deputy
from Montague, received only six
votes and issued an address, thanking
the six electors who showed their
confidence in me. They are the only
solvent citizens in the constituency,
and l beg to assure them of my es-
TEEN. AS for the others, / hereby
give them notice that in future all
attempts to obtain credit at my estab-
lishment will be relentlessly refused.
During the Nst nine years they have
robbed me of about 5000 francs in bad
debts, which | have taken no steps to
recover. Yet when an opportunity
is afforded Of showing their apprecia-
ton OF my leniency meet with the
basest ingratitude.'

EDITOR RAINEY HAS
RESIGNED FROM THIRD
DISTRICT COMMITTEE

Atlanta, March 17.-State Prison
Commissioner E. L. Rainey, who will
be a candidate to succeed himself this
summer, has resigned as a member of
the state democratic executive cont
mittee from the third district.
An interesting precedent is establish
ed by Colonel Rainey's resignation, be-
fore formally announcing his candid
acy to succeed himself to state-house
office. There is no rule under which
Col. Rainey would not have a perfect
right to continue serving on the com
mittee and at the same time make the
race, but he has told his friends that
after thinking the matter over he be-
lieved the only right course for him to
take was the one he adopted
Colonel Rainey is the only member
of the prison board whose term is now
expiring, and who will have to stand
for reelection this year. So far as can
be learned he is not going to have any
opposition.

Sir Lionel Garden, the British min
lister to Mexico, whose alleged COM
ments On the policy of President Will
son there have been the cause of mucn
surprise in the United States, sailed
away from America the other day on
the liner Olympic for London. Then
he took occasion to issue a general de-
NAL of the criticisms of the American
policy that had been attributed to him
when he was in Mexico City. He in
sisted that he had not said the things
the newspapers have quoted for three
months as coming from him.
But he showed he was still parti-
san of President Huerta of Mexico. He
said Huerta is the only man able to
rule or come near ruling the Mexicans,
and should be recognized by every gov
eminent.
