THE COMMISSIONERS
Something About the Personnel of the
Three Convict Guardians.
SELECTION HASPOLITICALSIGNIFICANCE
Appointments Made With a View Os
Strengthening Governor’s Forces All
Over the State.
The Atlanta correspondent of the Sa
vannah News fends out the following
about the governor's recent appointments:
The three men who will have charge
es the new penitentiary system are all
well qualified for their work. Mr. Turn
er hns had ample experience as principal
keeper, and Mr. Beach is a young man
of fine business ability, while Gen. Evans
will bring to the work a thorough knowl*
edge of humanity and a devotion to duty
that will make him an invaluable adviser
to his two younger and more aggressive
co-laborers.
While the appointees are all well
adapted to the positions in which the
governor has placed them and their work
is morally sure to be commended by the
people, for they are all good and capable
men, there is every reason to believe th-t
politics had a good deal to do with their
selection.
Gov. Atkinson has, for some time past,
been anxious to form a bond of union
with Gen. Evans and his powerful follow
ing in state politics. He offered to make
him state librarian some time ago, but
there was a hitch in the matter. It is
also said that the general was asked how
he would., like to be adjutant general in
case the two offices now held by Gen.
Kell could be separated, or in the event
that it might be necessary to appoint a
successor to him.
These overtures, it is understood,
were not repulsed by Gen Evans, who
was further assured during the late
senatorial campaign by Gov. Atkin
son's friends, that he would be suport
ed by them for governor if be would
help Gov. Atkinson for the senate by
the present appointment. It is ex
pected that Gen. Evans will use bis
influence to divide the veteran vote
in next year’s election, and give what
he can of it to Joe Terrell for gov
ernor. As matters stood up to today
it seemed that Col. Candler would
get this vote solidly, but as the back
bone of the Terrell boom Gov. Atkin
son hopes to see a rally of the Evans
forces to that candidate. In case he
should bocome a senatorial candidate
again, be counts upon the alliance to
do him personal service. Jacob
Beach of Brunswick is relied on to
strengthen the Atkinson-Terrell forces
in South Georgia. He is a politica
leader of considerable prestige in his
section, having held a number of
electoral offices during the past twen
ty years, having been clerk of the su
perior court for six years prior to to
day's appointment. With him and
Judge Spencer Atkinson, recently
made railroad commissioner by the
governor, the Terrell forces will carry
the war right up into the dußignon
camp.
There was probably less politics in
the appointment of Mr. Turner than
either of the others. He was so pre
eminently the man for the place that
the governor could not overlook him.
At the time he Will probably do some
good service in the sections where
Hon. H. A. Jenkins, bis fellow towns
man, is likely to get most of his

“hustling” they call it—counts for every
thing. In the long run the easy-going man
who takes time to think of his health and
his personal appearance outstrips the reck

held back in the struggle of life by their
personal appearance. Through neglect of
the digestion their blood gets full of im
purities and humors which show themselves
on the face and body in the shape of skin
affections, blotches, eruptions, eczema and
scrofula.

•e are many curable causes for steril
women. One of the most common
general debility, accompanied by a
culiar condition of the blood.
Care and tonic treatment of the fe
ile organs relieve more cases of sup
posed incurable barrenness than any
other known method. This is why
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound has effected so many cures;
its tonic properties are directed es
pecially to the nerves which supply
the uterine system. .Among other
causes for sterility or barrenness
are displacements of the womb.
These displacements are caused by
lack of strength in the ligaments
irting the womb and the ovaries; re
ese, and the difficulty ceases, Here,
he Vegetable Compound works won
ee Mrs. Lytle’s letter, which follows
olumn. Go to the root of the matter,
restore the strength of the nerves and the tone of the parts, and nature
will do the rest. ’Nature has no better ally than this Compound, made of
her own healing and restoring herbs.
Write freely and fully to Mrs. Pinkham. Her address is Lynn, Mass. She
will tell you, free of charge, the cause of your trouble and what course to take.
Believe me, under right conditions, you have a fair chance to become the joy
ful mother of children. The woman whose letter is here published certainly
thinks so:
“ I am more than proud of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and
cannot find words to express the good it has done me. I was troubled very
badly with the leucorrhcea and severe womb pains. From the time I was
married, In 1882, until last year, I was under the doctor’s care. We had n«
children. I have had nearly every doctor in Jersey City, and have been to Belvin
Hospital, but all to no avail. I saw Mrs. Pinkham's advertisement in the
paper, and have used five bottles of her medicine. It has done more for me
than all the doctors I ever had. It has stopped my pains and has brought mo
a fine little girl. I have been well ever since my baby was born. I heartily
recommend Mrs. Pinkham’s medicine to all women suffering from sterility.”—

strength. Mr. Turner is for Terrell
for governor, despite his fellow towns
man’s ambition, and the contest be
tween these two in the Blue Grass
counties is sure to be an interesting
feature of next year’s campaign.
Os the other two men who are
brought forward by the organizer of
the prison commission, Jacob Moore
is popularly supposed to be able to
do any old thing with Floyd county,
and it goes without saying that he
will do it for Terrell next year.
Douglas Glessner, the secretary of
the new commission, is editor of the '
Griffin News. He was an applicant
for state librarian, and believe he
would have received the appointment
because of his loyalty to Gov. Atkin
son in his first race, but for the fact
that he is an Ohio man, and the old
veterans made a fight upon him. He
is a member of the state executive
committee, and although he failed to
carry his county for Atkinson in the
campaign with Evans, he was the
governor’s friend by earnest efforts,
and his appointment now is his re
ward.

ATKINSON AND .THE QUARANTINE.
The Governor to Veto the Bill Passed by
the Legislature.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 23.—Gov. At

the resolution passed at the late ses

state to the national quarantine. He
says the is essentiall un
democratic, and seeks to make the
state admit its inability to control its
own affairs, For these reasons, he
will withhold his approval, submit
ting a message with bis veto, setting
forth his views on the subject at
length. He will act upon the resolu
tiong tomorrow, which is the last day
allowed by law for the executive to
pass upon legislative acts.

SMALLPOX ABOUT GONE.
Sanitary Chief Veal, of Atlanta, Says the
Danger is Nealy Over.
Chief Veal, of the sanitary depart
ment, announced yesterday that there
was no further grounds for scare about
the smallpox situation, says the Constitu
tion. He says the disease is now com
pletely under control, and will be wiped
out in the next few days.
Over forty cases were dismissed from
he pesthouse yesterday. About 100 now
remain. Only two cases were found in
the city yesterday and two Tuesday, The
disease is on the decrease, owing to thor
ough vaccination.
That this vaccination has been thor
ough is evidenced by the fact over 75,000
people have been vaccinated by the city
physicians and under the supervision of
the board of health during the recent
scare. Every residence street in the city
has been, visited and very few families
have escaped the virus.
This virus alone has cost the city near
ly $3,700, while the expenses of :he
physicians will run this amount up to
nearly $6,000. The boaid of health de
serves much credit for the manner in
which it has handled the disease, and
there will be no further scare this winter.

GREAT BALL PLAIEK.
A Writer in The Nashville American
Praises Frank Sparks.
Last Sunday’s issue of the Nashville
American contains a three column article
on southern boys who have made great
reputations as ball players in the Nation
al league. He says of Frank Sparks:
“Pitcher Sparks, who was drafted hy
Philadelphia from the Texas league this
fall is a resident of Cave Spring, Ga.
He began his professional career with
the Montgomery club in 1895, going
thence to Texas the next season, where
he has since done work of a character
that has attracted the attention of the
big league managers. Philadelphia has
decided not to retain Sparks and he will
probably go to Brooklyn next season.”
Young Sparks is at work in Anniston,
and has stated to friends that he would
give up playing baseball professionally.

THE CHRISTMAS PACKAGE,
A-mt-thlng Abo nt A Neat and Fret y Way
To do Them Up.
The elever maiden will do up
her Christmas gifts in the dain
tiest way possible. There - isn’t
a woman whp does not dote
on receiving an odd looking pack
age—something that w.itl appeal to
her curiosty because of its individual
ity. And to make to holiday present
perfect by reason of its dainty doing
up requires but a little forethought
and a tew shekels.
The true Christmas colors are the
hues of the holly, and they may be
used admirably in making a dress for
the Christmas gift. For instance, or e
may go to the man who makes boxes
and buy a dark green box,' tied with
a scarlet bow of ribbon, or vice versa.
Instead of this desirable color combi
nation in the box and a bow, a white
box may be utilized with a bow of
ribbon which has the holly design
woven in it. Still another idea is to
use the white box and ribbon, sugges
tive of snow, and in the generous bow
fasten a small spray of the green
leaves with scarlet berries.
If the fancy box is not within the
possibilities of the purse, gauze like
tissue paper makes an attractive
wrapping. This may be put on plain
and secured with tiny ribbons, or the
et ds may be fringed delicately with
the scissors and twisted at both ends,
as candy kisses used to be in days
gone by.
Then there is the young woman
who only has dimes in her purse for
the Christmas presents, who may in a
simple way utilize some of these ideas
for a dainty covering for the Christ
mas gifts. Last year one ingenious
maiden, suddenly embarrassed finan
cially, could not bear to have the hap
py Christmas time go by without
sending her dearest friend some little
remembrance. So she sat down to
think, and a clever idea came. She
took her calling cards and wrote
cheery Christmas greetings to each in
dividual friend. She then put these
messages in small envelopes and tied
them with tiny red ribbons, securing
the seal in the back with a bit of red
wax. This is precisely the way lovers
did to secure their billet doux in the
days of the troubadours. This mod
ern maiden next inserted a bit of
mistletoe under the ribbon. This
dainty little package, with a charm
ing individuality, was placed in a
larger and heavier envelope and en
trusted to the care of Unele Sam.
In short, a Christmas gift without a
spray of holly or mistletoe—or their
colors—is like the play of “Hamlet’
with Hamlet left out—Philadelphia
Times.
Many Think!
When it was said to the woman: “In
sorrow shalt thou bring forth chil
dren,” that a perpetual curse was
pronounced, but the thrill of joy felt
by every Mother when she clasps to
her heart her babe proves the con
trary. True, dangers lurk in the
pathway of the Expectant Mother
and should be avoided.
“Mother’s Friend”
So prepares the system for the change
taking place that the final hour is
robbed of all danger and pain. Its
use insures safety to the life of both
Mother and child, and makes child
birth easy and recovery more rapid.
