SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
’ ON GEORGIA POLITICS
BY JAMES B. NEVIN.
The “Atlanta girls”—whoever they
are—win be surprised, and not at all
flattered, to know that they are the
? oj|
proposed objects
of drastic legisla
tion In the next
general assembly
of Georgia.
Os • course, the
folks right here at
home will know
that the real At
lanta girls, to the
manner born, need
no legislative or
statutory program
of conduct cut out
forth. 'tn. but
some of the scions
who come to the
capital from the
wild 'and woolly
k n o w b e t t e r—
hence their tears'.
Anyway, divers and sundry contem
poraries around and about the grand
old commonwealth are exercised might
ily hither and yon, and one of them,
The Griftin News, thus relieves its bur
dened mind and feelings:
Editor Rainey, the gay and fes
tive genius of The Dawson News,
enters a protest against the pro
posed bill to prohibit the Atlanta
girls turkey trotting and crab
crawling at their dances.
Right you are. Rainey. Why
should any old spavined legislator
meddle with the terpsichorean
tastes of those brainless butterliies,
whose only attractiveness may be
their giddy gyrations? We've seen
’em, and we are willing to swear
that the “trot” and “crawl” were
the sum total of interest or attrac
tion about them.
This is too bad, to be sure! Indeed,
one might call it the ultimate estate of
melancholy, and still leave something
byway of sorrow and distress unsaid.
If "meddling with the terpsichorean
tastes of brainless butterflies" is not
the duty of "spavined legislators” and
unsophisticated rural editors, whose
blooming, blasted, benign business is it,
anyway?
If "turkey trotting” and “crab crawl
ing"—by the way, what's that?—were
the sum total of their charms, most
certainly they are fit and proper sub
jects for legislative regulation and a
new lot of legal don'ts! Or aren’t they?
Superagitated journalistic highbrows
back in the sticks should remember, in
any event, however, that the next gov
ernor of Georgia is an Atlanta man.
If “Uncle Hi” undertakes to get too
busy with the “Atlanta girls” in the
next legislature, Governor Slaton’s gal
lant old veto may be called into ac
tion, by heck!
The governor-elect thinks the AtlanN
ta girls are mighty sweet!
Any one may doubt capitally, after
all, that the editorial genius of The
Griffin News really has “seen ’em”—
really and truly—despite his declara
tion to the contrary!
United States Marshal George F.
White is giving due consideration to
the fact that the United States senate
may not confirm his nomination for
another term of four years. He has,' it
is understood, several plans in view
for the time when he is deposed—prob
ably by some good Democrat.
When President Wilson takes office
and the administration becomes Demo
cratic. it is thought likely that another
marshal will come immediately into of
fice for the southern district of Geor
gia.

office for 23 years—nine as marshal and
the balance of the time as special dep
uty. His present commission will ex
pire on January 20.
Tile meeting of the electoral college
in Atlanta today brings to mind the
fact that it is wrong to refer to Mr.
Woodrow Wilson as “president-elect,”
for ho is not yet entitled to that de
scriptive appellation and vfrill not be
for some time to come.
The electoral vot> of every state in
the Union must be carried to the na
tional capital by an official messenger,
and turned over to the presiding officer
of the United States senate, and that
will require Some little time yet.
Not only that, but the acting vice
president, after being perfectly sure
that he has assembled all of the votes,
must call the senate and the house of
representatives in joint session, in the
hall of the house, and there the various
electoral votes must be opened, count
ed, verified and the result announced.
The call of the states will begin with
Alabama, and Mr. Wilson, therefore,
will lead from the jump.
The last time the vote was canvassed
the contest was between Mr. Bryan and
Mr. Tait, and In the early stages of the
counting Mr. Bryan had decidedly the
better of it.
Not until early in February, however,
will it be perfectly proper to refer to
Mr. Wilson as "the president-elect.”
It is an interesting circumstance that
the electoral vote of Georgia will be
received, upon the part of congress, by
a Georgia senator—Augustus Octavius
Bacon, who Is the presiding officer of
the Semite just now, and of the same
faith politcaly as the men who will re
ceive Georgia’s electoral vote.
In referring to Uncle Sam’s latest In
novation in his postoffiee department,
you must not call it the “parcels post.”
“Parcel post” Is correct—“parcel”
. without the final “s.”
It makes no difference whatever that
you have been calling it the pareels
post these many years—before you got
it—only to find out now that that un
comfortable mouthful is all wrong, the
fact remains that "parcel post" it is,
and forever hereafter shall be!
If you don’t believe it, look at the
little stamps especially provided for
. parcel post use—you will find it set
down there just as it should be.
It is interesting, moreover, that Geor
gia shows the heaviest patronage of the
• parcel post thus far—and Atlanta leads
all the cities of the nation, In propor
tion to its size!
The Dawson News says that Terrell
county played politics very little, while
it played business big, last year, and
1 cites a $2,000,000 cotton crop, and one
. of the biggest corn crops ever recorded,
to prove it
Georgians love politics—perhaps a
little more than folks ordinarily do—
but they seldom let the game interfere
with their activities along material lines
of commercial, agricultural and pro
fessional progress.
Dawson made a fine showing last
' year—and, as politics will be dull in
■ deed this year, she will have no excuse
whatever for falling behind the record
In the forthcoming exhibit of the year's
prosperity.

HELPLESS LINER BEING
TOWED IN FROM MIDSEA
NEW YORK. Jan. 13.—The White
Star liner Cedric reported by wireless
today that the Hamburg liner Abys
sinia had been crippled at sea and
is now being towed to port by the
freighter Armenian.
At 6:05 p. m., last Saturday, the ;
Cedric received an "S. O. S.” call from <
the Abyssinia, and hastened to her
aid. The Abyssinia was helpless,
her rudder shaft being broken. The i
Cedric stood by until nearly midnight.
In the meantime she summoned the
Armenia, which took the Abyssinia In
tow.
The Cedric then proceeded to New
York. She is due here tomorrow.
SENATE PASSES A BILL
FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS
IN ALL EQUITY CASES
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—The senate
today passed the Nelson bill, which pro
vides for the hearing of all evidence in ,
equitj- cases In public.

action of the Massachusetts court in the
ease brought by the United States Shoe
Machinery Company, of Boston, where
in the court ordered the doors closed
and the testimony taken in private. The
decision of the court, according to At- .
torney General Wickersham, defeated i

gress.
