How Governor Stephens Works.

Atlanta Correspondence. Governor Stephens is a steady, methodical worker. He keeps doing. He never seems to tire. And he does everything thoronghly. He is never in a hurry, and always deliberate and painstaking. He sees all the company that comes to him, and he has a constant stream of visitors. He runs his company and his work right along together. He goes to bed at 9 o’ clock, but soTetimea will dictate correspondence for several hours lying in bed. His method of receiving visitors is different from the -general practice of public functionaries.' There is no red tape or ceremony. None are kept waiting. He l eoeives them promptly, hears their business patiently, and gives an immediate action. He still plays whist in the evening when a hand can be made. The social quality is very large in Governor Stephens’ nature. He really enjoys company. He is a charming talker. He is filll of reminiscence and anecdote, and he tells things well.
