The Week.

The article presents some political updates as of June 3, 1999. One of the updates says that U.S. Governor Hoke Smith can get little satisfaction out of the Southern newspapers for his attitude in the Georgia Railroad strike. The periodical "New Orleans Times-Democrat," after discussing his attitude, remarks that the evil of incompetent government seems to be growing in the country and unless there is soon a change for the better, the most serious disorders must result. Another update highlights the election of Congressman William Lorimer as the U.S. Senator from Illinois to succeed Albert J. Hopkins.
