Elder Watkins of Muddy Hollow,
Just back from the city, was telling
his wife of the church he had attended
ed.
Did you know any of their songs?
asked She
No! replied the elder, they didn't
sing anything but anthems.
Anthems? exclaimed his WIFE, What
on earth is an anthem?
Well, answered the elder, | can't
tell you just exactly, but if I'd say to
you. Betsy, the cows are in the corn,
that wouldn't be an anthem. But if
I'd say, BetSyBetsv-Betsy, the COWS

DEMOCRATIC CONTROL
IS SEEN BY HARRIS
Georgia Senator Eventually May Win
Craftsmanship of Senate Approprl-
atoms Committee

ATLANTA, Nov. 10 Politicians
here are still talking about the recent
general election which they point to
as very much of democratic land
slide. Democracy, it is asserted, prac-
tlcally has regained all the ground it
lost in the terrific slump OF the Pres
idential campaign and is in fair way
to turn the tables upon the republicans
much the same way as the Republicans
turned them on the Democrats when
Harding went in with such a heavy
majority. The landslide at the last cleo
ton it is pointed out here, means that
the country is returning to political
normally.
Democratic leaders here take the
position that the Democrats will
make such gains in the national sen
ate that two Years from now they will
get control. In that event, it is con-
sidered quite probable that U. S. SEN
ator VIM. J. Harris of Georgia will
get the Craftsmanship of the appropri-
atoms committee. This is recognized
as the most powerful and most influ-
ential of all the committees, especial
ly for Georgia, as this state receives
more money from the federal govern
ment than any other state in the
South Only four northern states il
is stated, get more money from the
national treasury than Georgia This
state has never had the Craftsmanship
OF the appropriations committee OF
the senate.
Recovery of Tennessee
One of the gratifying features to
Southern democrats of the recent cleo
ton, as pointed out here by Senator
to the Democratic fold. Tennessee
democrats in a splendid way, the sen
ator said, recovered the state from
Republicanism, carrying the State
ticket by handsome majorities and re-
claiming three congressional districts
from Republican control.
Democracy triumphed in New
York State in its old-time way, pilinp
up majority for Al Smith for gov
ernor that will insure the State for
the Democratic Presidential ticket
next time.' declared Senator Harris
upon his return to the city after sew
eral days absence following the cleo
ton. "ln the Congressional races in
