•1'UESDAY, APRIL 9. 1907. fTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. No More Lotteries in the Cigar Business What is your cigar expenditure in a •year ? Taking chances one at a time dis turbs your comfort and enjoyment more than it seems to disturb your income or confidence; but after a year of it you’ve paid a very fat tax to a very flourishing lottery—and drawn a long list of blanks. It’s all unnecessary We designed the Triangle A merit mark to be a sign to you—a sign that you could not only recognize but pro nounce and ask for. It enables you to make your selec tions from cigars that you know are the best your money can buy. ' The New CREMO is one of the most convincing examples of the improved quality produced through our new processes of refining tobacco. Every box is extra-wrapped in glassine paper to make sure the cigars reach you fresh, clean and in the best smoking condition. AMERICAN CIGAR COMPANY, Mfir.

Ham Lewis— went down and out In the Chicago mayoralty contest. When Busse defeated Dunne the Re publicans gained control of the Windy City administration for the first time In many years. The Harrisons—Car ter, father and son—held the reins of government for many years. When Dunne was elected Chicago's Democratic mayor he called to his cab inet J. Hamilton Lewis, who had come to Chicago from the state of Washing ton. Colonel Lewis had represented a Washington district In congress, but that Democratic foothold In the far northwest state went permanently askew, and the colonel moved on to pastures new. Hope glowed large In him, for hon ors came quickly. He was appointed corporation counsel shortly after be coming a resident of Chicago. From that place he expected to step Into the halls of congress again, representing one of the city districts. But the overwhelming avalanche of Republican votes swept Colonel Lewis from his moorings. Will it mean the romplete annulment of his political hopes there? Of course, the Republi cans will fight harder than ever to hold the complete upper hand In matters political In Chicago. But the Hon. J. Hamilton Is mighty shifty on his feet, and may land In good shape again. Augusta Is his old home, and Georgians will wish for him re habilitation of his political fortunes. It would be a sad day for the country to have the permanent effacement of the pink whiskers and sartorial crea tions of Colonel J. Hamilton Lewis. HARVIE JORDAN TO LECTURE TO COLLEGE 8TUDENT8.
