Open all J USIAH CARTER, one of the new paper veterans of -Atlanta, Is al secretary of the Hoke Smith Club of the Fourth ward. He Is noted for his absentmindedness. Wednesday afternoon he was broil ing over the forms In the composing room of hie paper, when the office boy- told him he was wanted Immediately at the 'phone. It was his daughter who called. ’Father," she said, "a special dellv- sold ••yes," and ahe read • ATLANTA Ua„ August I, 190«. "Joalah Carter, Eaq., City: "Sir:—You are urgently requested to attend a special meeting of the Hoke Smith Club of the Fourth ward, to be held Wednesday evening at I o'clock at Mr. Smith's offices in the Peters building. (Signed.) “JOSIAH CARTER, "Secretary." He had sent a special delivery letter to himself. Which reminds one of the time Joel Chandler Harris wss asked his name. Some years ago, before West End was forcibly seised and Incorporated Into the city of Atlanta, Mr. Harris used to walk every morning to the little poat- office up on Gordon street and get His all. Mrs. Fleming was postmistress. Here was the dally routine: Mr. Hama would poke his head In the window and say: “Morning, Mis' Fleming."; She would roply: "Morning, Mr. Harris," and hand him his bundle of mall. It went on rrgutor for aeveral years. One day MU' Fleming was III, and n bright and breexy young fellow took her place for the time. Mr. Harris a time,, stuck his and said: -' “Morning, Mis' Flaming.” But MU' Fleming wasn't there. The bright and breesy young man w ho was on the Job, said briskly*. "What can 1 do for you?" Mr. Harris said: “I want my mnll." "Name, please?" the man asked. Mr. Harris stopped* a minute, scratched his head, and then In de spair said: "F.xcuse me, I’ve got to catch that car." dash for the hay- And he t burner. He couldn't think of hit name to save.his life. It was the first time In years that be hnd been asked his name, amt he wna rattled and rattled badly. John Nelms was on the car, and Mr. Harris saw a glimmer of light. Maybe he would cal] him by name. But Dr. Naims said heartily "Morning, Brer Rabbit." That didn’t help any. and Mr. Harris groaned fn anguish. Cp at Peters street. Colonel George Adair got aboard. He and Mr. Harris were great cronies Hut all Colonel Atlalf said was: “Howdy," ond then started talking about some Impersonal matter. Meanwhile Undo Remua was half distracted, trying to think of his own name. Finally hq decided to ask Colo nel Adair and was Just about to begin when Wllle Pope got on the car. Mr. Pope whs very young then, and he said: "Good morning. Mr. Harris." Uncle Remus sprang to his feat, em braced young Pope and exclaimed:,. "God bless you, Wllle, you've saved my name from oblivion." Then he walked back to. the little postoffice, entered and, with the defi ance of one who knows he knows, said: Gimme my mnll. My name's Joel Chandler Harris." Don Marqlits, of The Atlanta Jour nal. spends most of his time writing freight rats Bnd disfranchisement edi torials, but In his hours of ease dashes off poems that please and short stories that win acceptance In the best msga- slnes In the country. A few- days ago he sent a bit of verse to the editor of a mngaslnt. to whom he had not before submitted anything. The editor wrote back a little note of acceptance, to which wrae appended something like this: "Your pen-name, Don Marquis, is so obviously a nnm du guerre that I would suggest you use your rest name, which, by the way, you did not sign to your letter," Marqula replied thue: "81nce my rent name bounds like a pseudonym, I will use a nnm du guerre that sounda real.

'JVe want to meet you. And you want to meet us. If we find advertising can be successfully applied to your business, we can convince you of it. If wc find it cannot, we will convince you that you shouldn V be convinced. W E have FACTS to “show you” —compiled in our Record of Results — FACTS which will answer your problem fully and for all time. The Lord & Thomas Record of Results is the something: tangible and definite in advertising. And it has been the lack of tangible evidence, such as this Record shows, which has made it impossible for you to be convinced. Lack of a definite basis for advertising —lack of safe precedent has kept many a conservative business man from becoming a successful advertiser. Your conservatism will not allow you to advertise blindly to SPECULATE in advertising based on nothing more definite or tangible than the judgment or opinion of some “expert" or “ experts." You will admit the value of good adver tising, but you want some assurance that your INVESTMENT in advertis ing will be a reasonably safe and pro fitable one. We want to tell you what we do to assure successful advertising. We want to tell you about the Lord & Thomas Record of Results —a trust worthy guide in advertising — the only practical Safe-Guard for an Advertising Investment. We want to enter into your problems with you and guided by our Records and experience ascertain whether your business can successfully be adver tised or not. It has happened that we have found lines which cannot be profit ably advertised. If wc find that your business can be adyertised successfully we know we can, with the aid of our Records, con vince you of the fact. If we find yours to be one of those occasional cases to which publicity can not be successfully applied, then we know we can convince you why you should not be convinced. One of our representatives is in your city every few days looking after the interests of some of our present clients. That is why wc are advertising in this newspaper—to you—NOW. Wc ask you to write today — granting us an interview in your office. You will in no way obligate yourself by asking us to call.

At least one RooseveH-- theory meets with hearty approval from the Georgia senate—the ontl-raco suicide piank. ■ Friday morning Senator Bunn, hlm- eelf the father of twins, arose and amid Impressive silence read the fol lowing telegram: ■ "PELHAM. Go., August 10, 1008. "Senator W. C. Bunn, Senate Cham ber, Atlanta, Go.: "Columbus Washington, successor to the senator from the Eighth district, arrived this morning. J. L.- HAND.’ Senator Westbrook did not hear Jt, and arose to query: "I do not understand the matter now before the senate.” T Submit that the question Is not one that the senator from the Tenth can understand,” proffered Senator Crum. Senator Westbrook Is a bach elor. . ’ At this- moment Senator C, N.‘ King, of the Forty-third, timidly requested leave of absence until Monday on ac count of a new arrival at his home In Spring Place—the ninth, he confessed. "Seems like this thing Is becoming epidemic," said Senator Westbrook. “Maybe, but the gentleman It an Im mune," retorted Senator Crum. Then several lady visitors In the gat lery fled. Senator Crawf. Wheatley may be haled before ths bar of the senate tor purposes of trial for treasonable con duct as a member of that body. Friday morning he walked Into the chamber wearing a pair of white flan nel pants. A thrill of admiration and r spread about the hall. . ■ Irawf., where’d you get them pantsT- queried Senator Bennett ad mtrtngly, fingering the texture of the garment with expert fingers. "Them." replied the wearer of the aforesaid pants. "Why, I bought ’am on Fifth avenue, New York. Paid (17.50 for 'em, by gum, and they are satln-llned, too!" News of Senator Wheatley's satin lined pants spread about the senate, and a steady stream filed forward to make a personal Inspection, Regular business clogged and finally stopped. Borne one drafted a resolution look ing to ths appointing of a committee to "Investigate the pants,” but the own. er prevented Its coming up by a per sonally conducted lobby. ’Gosh all hemlock! Paid 117.50 for one pair of pantsl Why thunder. 1 don't pay that much for a whola suit,' said, a venerable member. Senator Brick Miller was advocating a bill for passage. He sold: “I think this Is on excellent meas ure, hut I want the senate to under stand that I Introduced It by request,” Then out of the fulness of experience, and heart up spoke Senator Wheatley: "Then, by heck. It's all off right now. No ’by request' bills get through here.” I Undismayed by ordinary affairs, the senate balked Friday at optometry. Senator Reid Introduced a bill to "reg ulate the practice of optometry in Georgia.” "What In blaxee la Sptometry?" ask ed Senator Adams. Nobody proffered the desired Infor mation. But Senator Steed suggested that Senator Alf Blalock could do It. as he was a mighty weir-informed man on all the. "metrys" and "Isms.” But Senator Blalock Is a modest men and refused to come Into the limelight. Somebody remembered that Senator Retd Introduced the bill, and called up on him to explain It. He did: ‘I IntrtHtuced this bill by request. Unfortunately It has come to the pass here that when a measure Is Intro duced labelled ’by request’ It at onre gets ths name of the ’Wheatley bill.’ This la simply a measure to regulate these fellows who go around over the state examining eyes and fitting glass- Then he moved to table the optom etry bill. Senator Ross wss In the gsllery talk ing In s verv pretty young woman. The ■aye” and “nay" call was on. and It looked like the bill would be lost be- canm, n quorum wasn't In the chamber. H»natnr Alf Blalock enled. the eens- r («»rt.rallv he le the first man In the senate to see s pretty woman in the gallery) and e/ild- ’Mr. President. I move that the sen ator In the gallery be allowed to vota on this bill." s "Senator Rose," boomed Captain "Tip" Harrison, who was acting as reading clerk. “Aye," came the deep-toned voice. A little later the senate was guilty of rank favoritism In the same crisis. Senator Copelan was up In the gallery conversing with two fair visitors, and a close call for somo member's bill was apparent. ”1 move that tho senator la the gal lery be allowed to vote," moved Sen ator Wheatley. "It la clearly out of order to do so.” replied the president. And the mes senger had to scurry around and get up another vote before the bill could pass. Senator Brick Miller has decidedly the finest volco for speaking In either branch of the legislature. Ills enun ciation Is remsrknbly clear; and he has a bell-llke, vlbmnt tone to his voire that carries to every part of the cham- her without apparent effort on his part. It la said that when he was In the house, where the acoustics are notori ously had, he could be heard In every part Of the hall with the greatest ease.
