The year that is now drawing to a close. since We last observed our day of national thanksgiving, has been, while year of discipline. because of the mighty forces of war and of change which have dis turbed the world, also a year of special blessings for us
 Tt has been vouchsafed to us tosremaip at peace with honor, and in some part to sUccor the suffering and supply the reeds of those who are in want.

Our people have looked upon their own life as na- tion with deeper comprehension, q fuller realization of their responsibilities. as well as of their blessings, and a keener sense of the moral and practical signifi- canoe of what their part among the na. tions of the world may come to be.

SOME EARLY GLIMPSES
 AT NEXT LEGISLATURE
MT. McGough of Russell Will Have a Heavier Legisla- tive Load Than Any
 Other Member
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

n
 6eorge l.. McGough of Pittsview, Rus sell county. will be an interesting mem Der Of tho legislature For 1t Is saf. 10 state that there will be no other member agreeing with him on several of his propositions.
 For instance, he thinks the rezula- ton of the whisky traffic will be the most important business confronting the legislature.
 And again, he holds that the legls- lature should enact new laws for the regulation of the railroads
 And again, he favors female suffrage
 While the chances are that he will not be able to carry either of his bur dens lover the hill" he will have the satisfaction, however, of knowing that he made an honest effort Judging from his position one would suspect that MT McGough Is a good fighter in the sense that following a reverse he gets up, brushes away the dust and announces himself ready to do it all over again.
 The subject of the sketch is to be found In Pittsview, a small village of Russell county. He was born in Coium- bus, Ga, September 3, 1861. Later he was numbered among the residents of Montgomery. He soon tired of the sleepy city on the Alabama, however, and, yearning for real life, moved to Birmingham. Just why he put the Magic City behind him and wandered into the wilds of Russell cannot be imag glred--that is, unless one would reach the conclusion that he fondly ad- heres to the simple life"
 Mir. McGough was educated in the common schools and at Auburn. He is merchant and farmer by profession. He is Mason a Methodist and democrat, and is unmarried.
 After stating his position on the ad- visibility of additional liquor legisla- ton and the momentous subject of woraar suffrage, MT. McGough retired

 into a shell of silence when the con vlct question was broached. He de- clined to say, in other words, wheth- CT he favored the immediate or grad ual elimination of the lease system. However, he will support a measure requiring the state to turn back to dependent families of convicts frac- ton of tho earnings of convicts. He is opposed to the fee system. On the sub jcct of the creation of a public util- lties commission he remained silent
 Mir McGough has for many years been interested in politics, but he has never held office. His service in the legislature will be his first work as a servant of the people. It could not he ascertained whether or not he ts ambitious, whether or not he has his political eye glued on some soft snap for the future. However, he has many friends, it Is said, and he may yet spring a surprise on the public. There are those who hold that he would make a good governor.
 Tomorrow, J. E. Davie of BlOctOn, who will represent Bibb county in the legislature.
