THOUGHT JIM HOYL WAS “LITTLE JOE"
Visitor Called at State House to See Gov. Brown and Was
(" {Astonished to Learn He Had Not Been Inaugurated.
From the Atlanta Journal.
“Good morning, governor,” was
the greeting of a visitor in Governor
Smith’s ante-room Friday morning.
“I am not the governor, sir,” said
Secretary J. B. Hoyl, whose hand the
wvisitor was cordially grasping.
‘“Well, I declare,”” was the sur
prised remark of the stranger. *‘l
thought vou were Governor Brown?
Where is he this morning?”
Secretary Hoyl explained that Gov
ernor Brown was not yet officially
recording his whereabouts, and add
ed that Governor Smith might be ex
pected at the office any moment, as
the governor had just left the man
sion.
“Then Governor Brown isn’'t gov
ernor yet?” said the astonished
stranger. 4
Secretary Hoyl explained that the
inauguration will take place in June.

Senate Votes to Double the Pay
: |
of the President. |
$5,000 FOR CARRIAGE HORSES
Senators Bacon and Clay ()pposvd:
the Raid on the Treasury. S(*na-l
tor Borah Said a Bread Line Was |
Being Fed in Sight of the (‘api(ul%
Day by Day, While the People's |
Money Was Being Handed Out to |
High Officials. ‘
WASHINGTON.—The senate fixed;
the salary of the chief justice of the |
supreme court at $15,000 and the as
sistant justices at $14,500.
The amendment increasing the sal
ary of the president was adopted by‘
& vote of 356 to 30. The r(.-puhlicanl
senators who voted against the in
crease were Beveridge, Borah, !
Brown, Burkett, Clapp, Dolliver, Lu'
Follette and Pyles. No democratic
senators voted in favor of the in
crease. !
Senator Warren stated the com- |
mittee had accepted the action of !
the senate in fixing the salary of the]
speaker of the house of represema-!
tives at $15,000 as significant of its
desire to give a similar salary to thel
vice-president, but they did not takel
the view that the committee’s (~un-'l
tention favoring a salary of $lOO,-
000 for the president was affected
by it. He expressed the hope that
the allowance of $5,000 annually for |
carriages or other vehicles for the
Speaker and vice-president would be
allowed to stand. l'
The Auto Has Its Uses.
Senator Bailey offered an a:m:nd-i
ment to eliminate the words “other |
vehicles”’ so as to prevent the pur—:
chase of automobiles, and in this|
connection he delivered a glowing |
tribute to the horse as man’'s best |
friend among the dumb animals. |
Mr. Warren declared that on his§
ranch in Wyoming automobiles are
used to hunt up and save the horses, |
and sometimes he has sent an auto-|
mobile 200 miles to save sheep thutl
otherwise would perish.
Mr. Hemenway said in reply to al
question that officials in \\‘ashingmng
had a ‘‘little scheme” by which they |
“short circuit congress” in the mat
ter of the use of appropriations for
purposes different from those furi
which they were made. ‘
Mr. Bacon: ‘“What does that
mean??”’ |
Mr. Bailey: ‘lt means they cheat
the government.”
Mr. Hemenway: ‘lt means that
they use funds for some other pur
poses than those for which the ap
propriation was made.” &
- Roosevelt and William.
- Mr. Bacon opposed the appropria
tion for horses and carriages. ‘A
senator or representative,” he said,
“has ten times as much need for a
carriage as the head of a depart-|
ment. I pay 25 cents for six ti(:kels!
to ride on the street cars, and I pre
sume that is what most senators do
when they go about on business.”
Mr. Money argued that large cx-!
penditures were not necessary to!
maintain the dignity of office. l
“There is a gradual change of
opinion going on,”’ said Mr. Mmlvy,!
“and people now do not regard the|
president as the servant of the poo-i
ple, because in a current magazine
the point is made that there are two
great rulers of the world, one Theo
dore Roosevelt and the other Wil
liam 11. Both have been rebuked.
William submitted, while the ruler
of America, Theodore Roosevelt, re
fused to submit. This sentiment has
gone so far that a coup d’etat by the
president of the United States would
be welcomed by some admirals in the
navy and some generals in the army,
as well as I can learn. Now, it is
time we should go back to something
like republican simplicity.”
Referring to the attorney-general
Mr. Money said a rumor had been go
ing about the senate some time ago
that Mr. Bonaparte was going to
Baltimore to study law. “It is un-

‘“Well, I declare,” remarked the
visitor again. He and his compan
ion, a lady who was apparently his
ldaughter, looked at each other. in
astonishment. ‘‘So you say he ain't
been inaugurated vet? ‘Whose pict
ure is that over there?”’ he diverged,
pointing a finger at the oil portrait
of ex-Governor Northen on the wall.
Secretary Hoyl told him.
“And who's is this?”’ pursued the
visitor, turning to one on the oppo
site wall.
“That’'s old GQGovernor Brown—
Joseph E. Brown,” Secretary Hoyl
told him.
The visitor was lost in astonish
ment.
“Yes, that's the old man, sure
enough!”’ he agreed. ‘“Well, I de
clare! He was the first man I ever
heard make a political speech. It
was when I was a boy!”
fortunate that he did not do that
some years ago."”
The Bread Line Contract.
Mr. Borah said he would offer an
amendment doing away with all offi
cial carriages. ‘“‘There is a bread
line being fed day by day,’” said Mr.
Borah, “in the shadow of this capi
tol, while we are using the people’s
money in this way.”
Mr. Hale commented on the in
crease of expenditures on battle
ships, which he said was so great
that the mere interest on the amount
expended on one of them was more
than all the increases of salaries pro
vided for in this bill. He called at
tention to the fact that we face a
deficit in the revenues of the gov
ernment during the next year of
$130,000,000.
An amendment to reduce the sal
ary allowance of the president from
$lOO,OOO as proposed by the com
mittee on appropriations to $75,000
was defeated 33 to 32.
The question then recurred on the
amendment to increase the salary of
the president to $lOO,OOO.
Georgians in the Fight.
It was upon Senator Clay's motion
that the senate voted on the question
of cutting down the president's sal
ary from the $lOO,OOO fixed by the
committee to $75,000.
Senator Clay declared that the
$25,000 allowed President Roose
velt for traveling expenses was
clearly unconsitutional, which the re
publicans practically admitted, Sen
ator Hemenway, who was in charge
of the bill, declaring that was the
reason they had determined to make
the $lOO,OOO cover all. Senator Clay
declared that he understood that
President Roosevelt had spent only
$B,OOO of the $25,000, and that he
was willing to give Mr. Taft $75,000
and let him pay his own traveling ex
penses, pocketing the difference be
tween $B,OOO or $lO,OOO necessary
for traveling expenses and the $25,-
000 allowed now.
Both the Georgia senators were
prominent in the debate on the sub
ject of compensation and perqui
sites for the president and cabinet.
One of the most significant things
about the day’'s proceedings was that
the new and progressive element of
republican senators, consisting of
Borah, Brown, Burkett, Dixon, Clapp
and La Follette, all voted with the
democrats in favor of the smaller sal
ary. .But they lost.
A Boston Man Wants His Friends at
Home to See a Georgia Fire. Had
Never Seen Anything Like It.
From the Savannah News.
Paying at the rate of $2O a cord
for wood just to show his friends the
luxury of a southern fire J. F. Hill,
who is visiting in Savannah, startled
one of the local wood dealers by or
dering a box of yellow pine and
lightwood knots sent to his home in
Boston. |
The Boston buyer of Savannah
wood was impressed with the open
fires in the south, and he purposes
to make his pine fire the event of a
celebration when he gets back home.
He had never seen anything like ¢
and wanted to convey the innova
tion back to the town of pork and
beans with the same triumph accom
panying the return of the warrior
with the scalp of his enemy.
How Cost Runs Up.
The price paid by the Boston man
to the local dealer was only $2 for
the wood, but there were other items
of expense that entered into the
transaction whick placed the total in
the neighborhood of $2O a cord, the
details of which were: He paid 50
cents fer a box in which to pack the
‘wood; the cost of drayage on the
;hox was 25 cents; the wood was $2;
drayage to the station was 50 cents:
ifreight was $1.50; and the drayage
from the station to his home in Bos
'ton was 50 cents, making a total of
$5.25 for a quarter of a cord of
wood.
There is no wood like the Georgia
pine in or near Boston, nothing that
makes the same cheerful blaze, and
lthe man from Boston was delighted
‘to pay the price, and considered him
iself fortunate that it didn’'t cost him
'more to execute his whim,

i Don’t Get a Divorce.
A western judge granted a divoree
;on account of ill temper and bad
breath. Dr. King's New Life Pills
would have prevented it. They cure
constipation causing bad breath and
liver trouble the ill temper, dispel
colds, banish headaches, conquer
chills. 25c¢ at Dawson Drug Co’s,
. SHELLMAN WAS SURPRISED.
When an Old Soldier Opened a Nigh
Beer Drinkery.
It seems that Shellman was sur
nrised when she found a near beer
Irinkery in her ‘‘midst’” the other
lay. The Sun says:
‘““A beer stand was opened in
shellman on Monday of last week,
ind since then it has done a brisk
business. It is operated by Mr. W.
T. Saxon, an old soldier. No greater
surprise could have been sprung on
the people of Shellman than for Mr.
Saxton to start a beer stand. He has
scores of friends in town and friends
and acquaintances everywhere in
Randolph county who have for years
regarded him as a citizen of the high
est type, a class they would not for
a moment consider as likely to con
duct any business of questionable
reputation.”
TOAD PRESSED IN A BRICK.
When Released It Winked Its Eye,
Stretched Legs and Hopped Away.
An experiment bordering close on
the wonderful was recently made in
the clay-testing department of a ma
chinery company at Bucyrus, 0., says
Popular Mechanics, in which a toad
was placed in a 20-ton brick press
and was four times subjected to a
pressure of 11,000 pounds without
injury, The question at issue was
whether such a pressure would kill
the toad or whether its ability to
compress itself was sufficient to al
low it to come out of the ordeal alive.
The toad was first placed in a lump
of granulous clay and the whole
pressed into a brick. After the huge
press had done its work the solid
brick was lifted from the machine
and the toad winked its eyes con
tentedly, stretched its Ilegs and
hopped away.
BITTER MEDICINE FOR THEM.
Oregon Republicans Had to Elect a
Democrat to United States Senate.
The republicans of Oregon lhave
kept their word. In the primary
election some months back a vote
was taken for United States sena
tor, and Gov. Chamberlain was se
lected for the position. He is g
democrat. At the same time that he
was named for senator a majority
of republican members were elected
to the legislature. But the republi
cans had pledged themselves to elect
to the senate the man chosen by
popular vote. There was a good
deal of fiddling by certain of the re
publican leaders in the hope that
they could find some way out of
abiding by the agreement, but they
finally had to come around and vote
for the democrat. It was bitter med
icine to them, but they realized that
the people wouldn't stand for any
monkey business after they had in
dicated their preference.
DEAD WOLF ENDS A MYSTERY.
Animal Had Frequently Alarmed
Section South of Albany.
One of the mysterious wild ani
mals that have for so long been ter
rorizing a considerable section of
Dougherty and Mitchell counties has
at last been caught. True to the
statements of some of the various
persons of these counties who had
seen it, it proved to be an unusually
large gray wolf weighing sixty-eight
pounds. It was two and a half feet
high and measured five teet and four
inches from tip to tip.
It was caught in a steel trap be
longing to J. D. Frasier, in Mitchell
county. The animal dragged the
trap a mile and a half, but Frasier
followed the trail and shot the wolf.
The carcass was seen by several hun
dred people in Baconton.
317 GALLONS OF ALCOHOL.
Were Sold to Atlanta’s *“Sick by
Druggists.
The record of the Court of Or
dinary in Fulton county shows that
the druggists of Atlanta sold during
1908 a total of only 317 gallons of
alcounol.
There were 2,543 patients pre
scribed for during the vear, and in
the great majority of cases the pre
scription was for a pint. ’
Whose Say-so Is Best?
With nearly all medicines put up
for sale through druggists one has to
take the maker’s say-so alone as to
their curative value. Of course such
testimony is not that of a disinterest
ed party, and accordingly is not to
be given the same credit as if \\'rit-l
ten from disinterested motives. Dr.
Pierce’s medicines, however, form al
striking exception to this rule. Their!
claims to the confidence of invalids‘
does not rest solely upon their'
makers’ say-so or praise. Their in-|
gredients are matters of public]|
knowledge, being printed on each‘
separate bottle wrapper. Thus in-|
valid sufferers are taken into Dr. |
Pierce’s full confidence. Scores of|
leading medical men have written
enough to fill volumes in praise of
the curative value of the several in-|
gredients entering into these well
known medicines.
Amongst these writers we find
such medical lights as Prof. Finley
Ellingwood, M. D., of Bennet Medi- |
cal College, Chicago; Prof. Hale, of
the same city; Prof. John M. Scud
der, M. D., late of Cincinnati, Ohio;
Dr. Grover Coe, of New York: Dr:
Bartholow, of Jefferson Medical Col
lege, of Pa., and scores of othorsl
equally eminent.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
cures the worst cases of female weak
ness, prolapsus, anteversion and ret
roversion and corrects irregularities,
cures painful periods, dries up disa
greeable and weakening drains,
sometimes known as pelvie catarrh
and a multitude of other diseases pe
culiar to women.
