Members From That Ward
Nominate Harwell.for Park
Board and He Loses.
When council had overridden a prece
dent and defeated the nominee of the
Sixth ward delegation for the park
board, John W. Grant, alderman from
tHe. Sixth, arose and congratulated
council.
'I have always voted for the ward
nominees, often against my better
Judgment,” sxid'Afr. Grant. “I congrat
ulate council In its act of today in dis
carding an evil precedent.”
Mr. Grant and Councilman Steve R.
Johnston, composing the Sixth ward
delegation, had nominated R. M. Har
well for the place. Councilman Har
vey Hatcher, of the Second ward, nom
inated William Van Housten. When
the members of council had finished ex
plaining their votes it was found that
Mr. Van H^mten had received 13 votes
and Mr. Harwell 10.
Most of the explaining was done by
the’members who were voting against
.the precedent Jhat la most dear to
many of them. They explained that
they had pledged themselves to vote
for Mr, Van Houten at the last meet
ing of council. While Councilman
Greer was stating his position. Coun
cilman Johnston asked him to whom
had he pledged his vote. Mr. Greer
replied that he considered h*s pledge
wholly vpersonal matter. And there
was a hearty laugh by all.
Mr.'Van Houten is a prominent mem-
ber of organized labor. The vote was:
ITor Van Houten—Maddqx, Ragsdale,
Baskin, McClelland, Hatcher, Harrison,
Wamock,. Vaughan, Greer, Sisson,
Chambers, Stoy and Baker.
For Harwell—Candler, Grant, John
ston, Johnson, Warren, Spratllng, Van
Dyke, Dent, Andrews and Evins.
The park board meets Tuesday after
noon and Commissioner Gordon Hurtel
\vill make a motion to reconsider the
resolution adopted at the last meeting
requesting tho resignation of General
Manager Dan Carey. Tho presence of
Mr. Van Houten and M. B. Young, two
new members, makes the result of tho
vote to reconsider uncertain. But Mayor
Winn has declared his Intention of be
ing present and speaking plainly
views about the recent activities’ of tho
board.
MAKE YOUR OWN
HAIR TONIC
A SPECIALIST'S ADVICE.
In a recent Issue The New York Herald
published a special article on the care of
the hair, in which was given the formula
for a home-made Hair Tonic, which was
highly recommended for Its remarkable
hair-growing properties, as well as for
stopping falling hair, revitalizing the hair
roots, destroying the dandruff germ and
restoring gray hair to Its natural color.
This article was of special interest t
me, as tho formula was one which I my
self have prescribed in countless cases
With most astonishing results. I remem
ber one case in particular In which I
scribed it for a man who had been
for many years and in less than two
months after he began Its use his head
was completely covered with a luxuriant
growth of rich, glossy hair, thus proving
that hair can be rpa.<le to grow on a bald
bead, notwithstanding the opinion
seen It before, I give the formula here'
with: 6 ounces of Hay Hum, 2 ounces
Lavona do Composee, one-half drachm
Menthol Crystals. Dissolve the Crystals
In the Bay Hum and then add the Lavona
de Composee; shako thoroughly antf
night and' morning to the roots
hair, rubbing Into tho scalp wll
finger-tips. This preparation contains no
coloring matter, but restores gray hair to
Its natural color by Its action on the hair
roots. If you desire It perfumed, add one
teaspoonful of To-Kalon Perfume, which
combines perfectly with the other ingredi
ents and Imparts a most pleasing scent.
Before publication we presented this
prescription to Jacobs' Pharmacy, of this
city, and they state that they have filled
it many times for their patrons who re
port most astonishing results from its use.

JUDGE SPENCER ATKINSON
SPEAKS 1N_C0LUMBUS, GA.
Columbus, Ga.. Dec. 5.—.ludg" Spen
cer Atkinson spoke to a large audience
at the opera house last night in favor
of Judge R. B. Bussell's candidacy for
governor. Judge Atkinson did not tell
anything that was apparently new
about his candidate, altho he was fre
quently applauded by tho Russell men
In the crowd.
The vote between the three candi
dates for governor Is going to be very
much divided up In this county, and
It Is expected the race here will be a
very close one.
ONE-YEAR SENTENCE

old boy, .who shot up the office of J.

was convicted In criminal division of

omnu-ndatlon fur mercy, sentenced the
boy ’0 one year In tho penitentiary.
It Is understood that the youth will
be sent to tho .state farm at Mllledge-
vllle and put to work In the offleo there
as a bookkeeper, a position similar to
the onu h# held In the employ of the
Allen company.
Before tho trial was finished the
prosecutlo'n, attempting to convict
Garrison on an Indictment charging ns.
sault with Intent to murder, reduced
the bill to shooting at another—a mis
demeanor. Two of the three true bills,

SALARY IFJO/ANTED IT
It Cost Hoke Smith $1,200 to
Continue as Governor of
Georgia Four Months.
Wilmor Moore at Montgomery.
Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 5. i >n- ,-f the
tost unique events that has ever oc
curred In Montgomery was tho '’Home
Products Dinner” of the Business Men's
league given In the city auditorium last
night. The dinner took the nature of
a booster and every person present
was expected to bring a pound of some
thing ha had raised in Montgomery or
Montgomery county. Tiler,, was an
elaborate menu served, while hundreds
of the leading citizens toasted to the
prosperity of-tho capital city. A guest
of the evening was Wilmor L. Moore,
president-elect of the Atlanta Chamber
of Commerce.
While not generally known. Senator
Hoke Smith could not accept a salary
as United States senator while govern
or of Georgia even If he wanted to. The
constitution of Georgia, article 6, sec
tion 1, distinctly says that the govern
or of Georgia shall not receive emolu
ments from the United States while
governor. Quoted verbatim, the consti
tution says: «
"He (the governor) shall receive a
salary of 31,000 per annum (until oth
erwise provided by a law passed by a
two-thirds vote of both branches nf
the general assembly), which shall not
be decreased or diminished during the
period for which he shall have been
elected; nor shall he receive, within
that time, any other emolument from
the United States, or from either of
them, or from any foreign power."
As a matter of fact, since the adop
tion of the constitution the general as
sembly by a two-thirds vote of both
houses has raised the governor’s salary
to 36,000 per annum.
Before leaving Atlanta for Washing
ton and since his arrival there ex-Gov-
ernor (now Senator) Smith announced!
that he would decline to accept any|
salary ns United States senator until
such time ns he should bo- sworn in
and actually begin his senatorial duties.
Under the rules and precedents of
the senate, Mr. Smith was entitled to
his salary of 37.600 a year from tho
date of his election. Thera was about
33,000 to his credit when he was sworn
In Monday. Of this about 32.600 had
accrued during his occupancy of the
gubernatorial chair and the remaining
3400 since his resignation the middle
of November. The 3400 is all the con
stltutlon of Georgia would have per
mltted him to accept were he disposed
to accept any; His salary as governor
from the time of Ills election ms sens
tor until his resignation was approxl
mately 31,800, or 3800 less than the
senatorial allowance for the same pe
riod.
It cost Hoke Smith 31.200 In real
money to continue as governor four
months after being elected-senator. But
he figured It wns worth 310 a day to be
privileged to boss Georgia.
