Atlanta Journal Quotes
Him on the Subject
BE ADMITS THAT HE HAS AX
AMBITION TO SERVE THE
STATE AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE,
BUT DOES NOT ANNOUNCE.
The Atlanta Journal of Sunday
morning had for Re leading article
on the front page what purported to
he some statements made by Col.
W. s. Went, of Valdoata, In regard
to the gubernatorial race. We re
produce what the Journal said, mere
ly ae a matter of news, and to ahow
that Col. Weat’a name In connection
with the governorship to being very 1
prominently mentioned In the up
per part of the state. The Journal’s
story was as follows:
" "I would love to be governor,
and I am firmly convinced a ma
jority of the people of South Geor
gia feel that I should get Into the
race, which will be decided by pri
mary early in June.”
“This utterance was made by Col.
W. S. West, of Valdosta, Saturday
afternoon in discussing his probable
candidacy with a Journal man, And
-it was not the only utterance he
made. In fact, he talked Quite free
ly, and Indicated very clearly that
he was seriously considering enter
ing the race.
” "It’s too early now to make an
announcement,’’ said Colonel West
"I do not believe in prolonged polit
ical campaigns, and unless some con
tingency arises which will necessi
tate a change of plans, I will not
make any announcement until 60 or
'SO days before the primary,
-served 13 years In the state legisla
ture, representing Lowndes county
In the house, and the Eleventh dls-
- trlct in’the senate, being president
of thd latter body In 1906-1906.^
"During this period of my public
life I made many strong friends
throughout the state, and I believe
that should I run for.. governor, 1
will get a strong support In north
Georgia.
*' "It has been 39 years since south
Georgia had a representative In the
governor’s office. Not since the term
of Governor Troup, In 1833, has this
section furnished a governor.’’
"Colonel West declares that he
has always been a “conservative."
Me claims very little In common
-with what he terms “the so-called
-progressives.” He says he has never
been able -to see the necessity for
Increasing the else of the state rall-
Toad commission from three to live
members, and he does not approve
the present registration law, which
require a man to register six months
prior to an election. It la Colonel
West’s opinion that a two-month’s
prior registration would be sufficient.
"In his conversatlon.'Colonel West
makes It quite plain that he Is not
In thorough sympathy with the pro
gressive laws enacted during the
administration of Gov, Hoke Smith.
This Ip explained, however, by his
own declaration that he belongs to
the "conservatives.'
"On the prohibition Issue he to a
local optlonlst, and says be is
favor of letting the people settle this
question. His position on this sub
ject Is in harmony with that taken
by Governor Brown In the last guber
natorial campaign.
"Colonel West owns a ,3.000 acre
farm In Lowndes county, and has
big sawmill Interests in Inverness,
Fla. He and Mrs West came to .At
lanta for the purpose of having Dr.
WIUIs Westmoreland set a fractured
bow In the arm of their nine-year-
old son, William 8. West, Jr., who
sustained the Injury while wrestling
with a playmate. They are stopping
at the Aragon."

days ago a barrel containing wine
was found open and most of the
bottles gone. I n addition to this the
four negroes were all found to be

WHAT A MADSTONE IS.
A New Clay Pipe Will Absorb Poison
When Applied.
Most persons, especially those who
have lived in rural districts, have
seen the so-called "madatones.” Fre
quently physicians are asked wheth
er there to actually any vlrtute In
these atones. At least one medico
has gone on record with the opinion
that they do possess some value, but
that they should be of still more
value were their limitations under
stood, says the New York Press.
There la no particular variety of
stone or substance that may be des
ignated exclusively as &be madstone.
The authority referred to has seen
many of them, so called, and no two
were of exactly the same composi
tion, geologloally considered.
' Madatones, It appears, act, on the
same prlijflple that blotting paper
does when absorbing Ink, gnd thure
Is nothing that makes a better one,
than baked pipe clay. A new clay
pipe costing a cent cannot He excell
ed by any madstone, no matter how
Much It may be “cracked up.”
The aotlon can be clearly demon
strated by placing a common red
brick in contact with the margin of
puddle of water and observing
what capillary attraction will accom
plish, In order to be efficient, there
fore, the prime requisite is that the
stone shall be porous and show
strong adhesive and absorbent quali
ties.
There Is nothing mysterious what
ever about your true madstone.
There have been those that are vesi
cal, renal or bllary, that were found
In the bladder, kidney or liver of
some animal—those taken from deer
hue popularly supposed to be the
Wbe n a person Is bitten by a rep
tile or a dog supposed to be mad
and the porous stone applied to the
■Found tbe blotting paper action be
gins and the blood saliva from the
mouth of the animal and whatever
poison these fluids contain will natu
rally, by capillary attraction, be ab
sorbed by and Into the substance ap
plied, whether the madstone' be the
madstone of the superstitious or not.
There Is absolutely no truth In
the statement that If a stone Micks
the wound Is poisonous and that If
It does not take hold'' there Is no
venom present. It the stone be clean
and dry It will adhere When mois
ture Is wlthl n reach until the stone
becomes saturated. For example, a'
new brick will absorb one pint of
water. After the venom has been
taken Into the circulation the mad
stone Is worthless: but as the vic
tim Is usuall filled with whiskey at
the time the stone is applied, the
•pirlts may counteract the effects of
the poison. I
