There was no opposition to any of the candidates, and the expected fight for the positions of president and ’ Secretary failed to materialise. Great en thusiasm prevailed, and there was the ut most good feeling on pH sides. Both the retiring and incoming presidents made en thusiastic speeches. The following were elected chairmen of committees; Max Krauss, chairman of the standing committee; Charles I. Bran an. legislative committee; E. A. Hardin, press committee: J. L.

The banquet at the Kimball house last night was brilliant tn every detail and was in keeping with the entire convention. Plates had been laid for nearly 490 persons and nearly every seat in the big dining room was occupied when the banquet began shortly after 9 o’clock. The tables were pre:tily decorated with flowers, and around them sat many ladies. The whole scene was a very brilliant one. What’M’hey Did Friday. The Georgia division of the Travelers’ Protective association was called to order Frida v morning at 9 o clock. with President R. Lee Wylly tn the chair. The session was opened with prayer by the state chaplain. Rev. Dr. Cook. The board of directors recommended that in view of the condition of the treas ury only three delegates be sent to the hational convention, whose expenses should be paid by the Georgia division, wherew the division is entitled to about thirteen. J. Rice Smith, of Augusta, moved that the rules be suspended and that the report be adopted by the convention. The motion was bitterly fought, as many In the con-, vention thought that more than three del egates should be sent. A vote was finally taken and the r otion was passed, but It was afterwards decided that a unanimous consent was necessary to suspend the rules, and the motion was withdrawn. The report of the board of directors will there fore go tn the committee on reports and * hot debate is expected when the matter is brought uj» again. However many delegates are sent to the national convention, one thing is certain, and that is that one of the delegates will be from Post B. About two months ago the Georgia division offered to allow the post securing the largest number of members before the present convention to name a delegate to the national con vention. all of whose expenses should be paid. The secretary’s report this -morning showed that Post B. with headquarters at Atlanta, had won out in the contest. The fight for the privilege of naming the delegate was thrilling in the extreme and tge victory was not won Until five minutes before the time was up. Appli cations for membership had to be in the hands of C. O. Stone, the Secretary, at Macon. before 12 o’clock .Wednesday night, or they would not count in the con test. At BJO o’clock Wednesday night J. H. Andrews, of Post B. telephoned Sec retary Stone and asked him ho< the con test stood. The reply was that Savannah was eight members ahead and had the contest won. Mr. Andrews hung up the ’phone, leaving Which Book Shall I Send ? Please tell me which book I may send to you or your sick friend. A postal will bring ft. Let me tell you away that I have found to jet well. I have spent a lifetime on it. I have watched it cure in thousands of cases as difficult as physicians ever meet. I have proved its power; and I will guarantee that it cures you. I will pay for your treatment if I fail. ' • With the book I send you an order on ' your druggist for six bottles Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. I will authorise him to let you test it one month. If it succeeds, you may pay him ffi.so. If it falls, I will pay him myself. Don’t question my word, for I do just as I say. Such an offer is possible because the remedy is almost certain. I have fur nished the treatment to over half a mil lion people in just that way. and 39 out of 4“ have paid for it. because they were cured. Where it fails it is free. My success is due to learning how to strengthen the inside nerves. I bring back this nerve power which alone makes each vital organ perform its functions. I over come weakness anywhere by restoring the power to act. There is no other way. Where I fail there is some organic disease, like cancer, for which man knows no cure. Thia offer shows my confidence. I know the remedy and you may not. Let me take the risk. Ask for the book that will point out the way to get well. Be fair with yourself: write today./ Simply state, Book No. lon Dyspepsia, which book you £** J on , *’ e _ . __ Book No. 3on the Kidneys, wanuand No. « for Women. Dr. Shoop.

At all druggists. the secretary thinking that the fight was all over. Not so. however. Atlanta was prepared for the occasion and twenty-five applications were In the hands of Mr. An drews when he telephoned Mr. Stone. He hurriedly gave the applications to James Shepard, a tall T. P. A., who If he had fallen down on the road to Macon would have reached Secretary Stone’s residence, and told him to make all haste. He caught the 9 o’clock train for Macon, reached that place at 11:10 o’clock, took a cab and reached the home of the secre tary just five minutes before 12 o’clock. Secretary Stone was asleep. Courier Shepard picked up a brick and pounded on the door frantically. Mr. Stone forthwith emerged from his bed of dreams about Savannah having the contest, thinking some one was about to take his life. He presented a shot gun at t he front door and asked what the intruder meant dis turbing his peace at that hour. Shepard held up his hands, but he clung onto the applications, which he was ready to turn over without force. Secretary Stone look ed at his watch and as he did so the clock struck 12. Atlanta had defeated Savannah. The delegate to the national convention from Atlanta will be R. J. Thomas, who won a diamond pin offered by Post B to the member getting the largest number of members. The committee on resolutions was ap pointed as follows: D. B. Lanier, E. A. Hardin. F. C. Tignor. J. A. Stewart, J. J. Gardiner. F. W. Johnston. • Committee on report of board of direc tors—J. P.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, MONDAY, APRIL 21, 1902 JUDGE LEWIS Will NOT RESIGN REPORTS WHICH HAVE BEEN CIRCULATED CORRECTED BY THE SUPREME COURT JUDGE. WILL REST UNTIL OCTOBER. Judge Hal T. Lewis, of the supreme court of Georgia,‘will, not resign from the bench as .has been reported throughout the state for the past month. Justice Lewis has been granted a leave at absence by the court until October Ist on account of ill health, and it is expected by that time that he will fully recover. This news will no doubt be received with great pleasure by the hundreds of friends of Judge Lewis in every section of the state, who had heard the report that it was the intention of the justice to give up his position as supreme court judge. The members of the supreme court only heard the rumors of the resignation of Justice Lewis a few days ago and this morning they denied that Justice Lewie had any intention of resigning. They would of course be acquainted with the intentions of Justice Lewis and none of them had heard from him that he in tended to resign One of the justices said thjs morning: ’’Justice Lewis has been granted a leave of absence by the court until October- Is, on account of ill health, and in that time the other justices will do his work. The court will go on .as if nothing has hap pened. Justice Lewis has been In bad health for several months and it was the unanimous opinion of the court that he should be given a rest. Justice Lewis did not desire to leave his work but he was urged to do so by the members of the court, as we felt sure he would be greatly improved by the time the October term opened. Judge Lewis is at present in Baltimore, but he 13 expected to return to his home in Greensboro in a few days. He is re garded as one of the most brilliant men in the state and has done excellent work since he was elected to the supreme court. It would be with great regret that hts friends would learn of his resignation and they have been considerably worried for the last few days about the reports of his resignation. It is a well known fact, however, that he will not resign and that he will return to his duties next Oc tober. MISTRiiOECLARED IN DUNCAN CASE HER EMOTION EXERTED AN UN DUE INFLUENCE ON THE JURY, SAYS JUDGE CANDLER. Judge John 8. Candler Thursday or dered a mistrial In the case of Mrs. Mollie E. Duncan, charged with the murder of her husband, James M. Dunoan, a mem-‘ ber of th/ Atlanta police force. In dismissing the jury that morning and declaring a mistrial. Judge Canler said: “The solicitor refuses to ask for a mis trial. and I am exceedingly sorry that I have to do so on my own accord. If such a thing were allowed to hdppen in the presence of the jury. It would make, all law subservient to the actions of the prisoner. I know how that unfortunate occurrence last night affected me, and it must certainly have affected the Jury In a like manner. I must therefore take the matter out of the hands of the jury and declare a mistrial. Let the prisoner be taken back to the jail.” As he finished Mrs. Duncan gave way again, and was hurriedly taken into ths judge's chambers. For a few moments she broke town completely, and when she was taken to the waiting cab, to be car ried back th her cell in 'the Tower, she was weeping bitterly. She was accom panied by her 18-year-old son, who was with her all during the trial. Colonel Dean, of her defence, strenu ously objected to the declaration of a mis trial, but Judge Candler announced that he could do nothing else under the law in the case.

ESTILL ADVERTISED BY SIGNS ON A GABBIAGE UNIQUE SCHEME OF GUBERNATO RIAL CANDIDATE WAS INAU GURATED IN ATLANTA YESTERDAY. A unique feature of advertising or an nouncing a candidate for governor was seen in Atlanta Friday when a large carriage, having a sign on each side was drawn through the streets of the city. Only one man was in the carriage, and from the way he looked he seemed se renely .confident that the candidate for whom he was advertising would be elec ted. The following sign was on each side of the carriage: ‘ The state’s business is your business. Vote for Estill and good business.” The carriage with the signs attracted a great deal of attention in Atlanta Fri day. People at first- thought that the advertisement Was one of those “Spotless Town” affairs, but when they saw it was a gubernatorial advertisement they stop ped and looked the second time to be sure that they were not reading the sign wrong, and then they wondered. Such schemes have often been known to be carried out <*ri election days when candidates for the legislature, or candi date for mayqr. degjj-ed to Impress on the people the fact that: they were still in the race, but the scheme has never been at tempted before in Atlanta so far as the guuernatorial race is concerned.

DAHLONEGA. April 17.-Nuggets of gold large enough to be picked out with the hands were found plentiful in a rich strike made last week by the Crown Mountain Gold Mining company. The vein of ore was unearthed in one of the cuts, where hydraulic surface min ing is carried on, and is claimed to be the richest find in years, in this country. The ore is valued at four to five thou sand dollars per ton. By crosscut tunnels running into the mountain proves that there are many of these rich veins, any one of which would make a flourishing gold mine. The one Just found is six feet in diame ter of very rich ore. Speculation and interest is running very high in the mining circles, over the dis covery of the rich deposits of precious metal. The large pump is now working smooth ly, and running day and night, and an in crease of workmen is adding to the mining success. The Consolidated Gold Mines has in creased their force, and is daily using 80 to 100 stamps with some very fine ore, which is paying nice dividends. Theyalso have struck some rich streaks of ore re cently. t ROOT GOES TO CUBA TO RETURN SOLDIERS NEW YORK. April 17.—Secretary Root started for Cuba today on the steamship Esperanza.

ATLANTA POLICE SEARCH FOR HULSE IN VAIN Police Chief Ball is sending out letters all over the west and to Central and South America, asking the police to look out for A. C. Hulse, who mysteriously dis appeared over a month ago. The disappearance of Hulse is a deep mystery. He was chief clerk of the Pos tal Telegraph and Cable company; was married and had two little children. There seemed to be absolutely nothing which would cause the man to leave home, but a little over a month ago he disappeared, and he has not been seen or heard of since. The police have not even been able to prove positively that he left the city, as no one saw him on any train, nor does the ticket agent remember sell ing him a ticket. Many of his friends believe that he met with foul play, and that he has never left the city, but the police do not hold this view of the case, and think that he has left the city. Hulse is described as five feet, 11 inches high and weighs about 150 pounds. He has brown hair, a little gray about the temples, but scarcely noticeable, protrud ing eye brows, high forehead, thin face, dark, pale complexion, reddish brown mustache and curled, but if his mustache is cut off a large mouth and long upper lip will be noticeable. He has deep bass voice and one of his legs is slightly bowed outward. He has a large carbuncle scar on the back of his neck.

Sawtell. local pack er, the price of beef is likely to reach 25 cents a pound within the next twelve ■months. Beef that sold last year for 10 to 12 1-2 cents now sells for 15 cents, with a steadily rising tendency. As an ex planation, Mr. Sawtell says there is a scarcity of supply, the Kansas City mar ket alone being off 80,000 head of cattle since January Ist. He ascribes this short age to large shipments of cattle out of the country and to the advanced prices of feed stuffs. ' Other local packers support Mr. Saw tell in his belief, so that according to indications the price of a choice steak may soon compare favorably with that of the market's supremest delicacies. Mr. Sawtell insists that the packers are mak ing no money out of thepresent advance in price, but that it is aTI being made by the cattle raisers.
