FOUR MILLION VOTERS.

to influence the electoral vote of that

There are now four million women

half that number will exercise the

THE FRIEND OF A MAN.

The opening of the hunting season
always stimulates a keener apprecia-
ton of the good qualities of the dog -
not his hunting qualities exclusively,
but also his attributes of fidelity, obed-
fence, and discernment.
But dogs trained for the fields or
the woods are not the only dogs de-
serving of kindly word. There are
Match dogs, and even dogs that serve
&c useful purpose whatever, that are
equally to be remembered
Many has always loved his dog.
Tley have been intimates through all
INC ages, and by other peoples, CEN
.i' les and centuries ago, the canine
~a5 even more highly esteemed than
he is today
Herodotus records that the Egyp-
tians, more than four thousand years
go, worshipped the dog and inferred
each dead one in a sacred tomb,
The natives of India, desiring to
make an offering of exceptional merit
10 the all conquering Alexander the
Great, sent him two prize mastiffs, and
the world-sovereign was delighted
with the gift
We find Henry VII. honoring The
dog, indirectly, by having such hans
ell as had defeated lions in exhibition
crmnats-the king disliking to have

BED.
Ho1ingshed's Chronicles of Sixteenth
Century England actually boasts Of its
dogs. There is no country this
history says, that may compare with
ours in number, excellence and ii
yersity of dogs"
Mark what generosity and courage
a dog will put on when he finds him
self maintained by man. observes
the philosophic rancis Bacon.
While Edmund Burke, in his "On
The Sublime and Beautiful" declares
that dogs are, indeed, the most So
cial, affectionate and amiable of ami
mails"
Darwin expressed a like sentiment,
commenting that dogs preferred the
association of men to mingling with
their own kind
The dog has made hunting pleas
urable, convenient and profitable He
has protected the premises while his
master slept He is a playmate for
children and a companion for men,
capable of true sympathy and deep
understanding. His master, whether
rich Or poor, is his master still, and
to him he is unswervingly faithful.

friends and neighbors, but his dogs
affections survive all.

WE DON'T BELIEVE 1T.

The Times Recorder refuses to Sc
riously consider the suggestion ema-
mating from Savannah that Governor
Hugh Dorsey is planning to run for
the United States Senate against
Hardwick
To enter that race means that the
governor would start campaigning he
fore he is a year in Office
Of course, other governors have
done as much, and Mr. Dorsey wou'o
have ample precedent for under-esti-
mating the value, Importance and
prestige OF the office of governor and
for neglecting the responsibilities OF
the place. However, we cannot BE-
lieve that he is going to join the list
O. those who proved that they thought
the governorship of this state merely
a temporary stepping stone to high r
political position.
AS an editorial from the Savannah
Press points out, Governor Dorsey is
making a very efficient chief executive,
going about his work in a business
like way and devoting thought as Wei
as time to his duties. For that mat
ter, his inaugural address revealed a
comprehensive grasp of the states al
fairs and a pronounced purpose 20
treat the job of governor as strict
business proposition
1t may be that the Atlanta polite
ians, who have been trying desperate
ly for weeks to bring out candidate
are now employing, their machina-
lions On the governor, and hope to
over-persuade him But we believe
that Governor Dorsey is sufficiently
astute and also we'll enough Informed
as to public opinion, to realize that the
present would be a most inopportuno
time for him to launch a campaign for
.he United States Senate
In the first place, w. ]. Harris has
an overwhelming lead, that no other
candidate could overcome.
Secondly, Governor Dorsey has no
political Organization at all, His cleo
ton was due more to the phenomena
of politics than to anything else and
he has not been in Office long enough
to build up a machine
Finally, the people would naturally
resent the idea of his using an office,
bestowed upon him so emphatically,
merely for his own convenience.
No doubt, Governor Dorsey would
like to be in the Senate, since it is
now the fashion to prize senatorship5
above governorships, although time
was when the Office of governor o..
Georgia was big enough for man to
resign from the Senate and return
home to run for it. But Governor
Dorsey would surely sacrifice his am
bition and his political future by AZ
ill-advised and ill-timed candidacy,
such as an entry into the pending cam
paign would undoubtedly be-
