| Mr. Vereen has definitely decided
' not to enter the race for Oovrr«,dr.
Judge Thomas, as a candlditc for
Governor, looks pretty goot from
this section of the State.

Mr. Vereen turned down the Gov
ernorship for the sake of hlr busi
ness, which shows that he Is beyond
a doubt not a politician in the lat
est acceptance of the term.
The Tlmes-Unton shows quite a
healthy experience with liquor by
wondering If Sephus thought the mid
dles would fight other warships all
(he harder In order to get the liquor
(hat was aboard.
i Mr. Vereen's business was such that
! he would have to make heavy sacrl
flees to enter the political arena, and
he declined as a man of his charac
ter and stamp would always do un
less the lure of political prowess was
too strong to resist. We are sorry
Mr. Vereen will not make the race
Tie Is a good man and true, and one
that has proven his ability. Ho Is
t ot a politician In any sense of the
word, another point In hls favor, and
It seemed, from all accounts, that
he was more generally known and
stood a better chance of success than
any man In this section of the State.
The Governor’s race has not boon
settled, as far as entries are con
cerned, and it may safely bn stated
that there are three other gentle
men who will get Into tho contest
before the voting time comos.
JUDGE THOMAS FOR GOVERNOR.
It is rumored that Judge W. E.
Thomas, of the Southern Judicial
Mr. Snodgrass Is a member of the
Democratic executive committee of t j, )s position, it seems that Judge
coming primary. Judge Thomas has
the matter under advisement, sev
eral of his friends having taken up
the matter with him several days
ago. He has made no decision yet,
as to what he will do In the mat
ter.
In the retirement of Mr. Vereen
from the race, or rather hls decision
not to run, South Georgia codld
look a long time and fall to find a
better man and one that would make
a better race than Judge Thomas.
He has been on the bench for sev
eral years and during that tlmo has
served the people of the circuit with
rare ability and good judgment. He
Is personally popular and If elected
would make a very efficient Gover
nor.
If It is possible for the people of
this section fo unite on one man for
Georgia from Thomasville. We are
ready to bet that he did not rick out
hls own name.—Jacksonville Times-
Union.
Thomas would be the man. The
whole section la watching events and
more eagerly than It would appear

POLICEMAN USED
' -OF BEATING K HOMAN
- Atlanta, April 11.—Policeman
John D. Wood, of the city force, was
put on trial yesterday afternoon In
the criminal court of Atlanta, charg
ed with "assaulting and beating” a
young woman named Mrs. Elizabeth
R. Southard. The prosecution was
marked hy particular vehemence,
and Attorney Leonard J. Grossman,
who made the opening speech for
the state, declared that Wood aad
told Mrs. Southard "If he had her
further off he would have made a
second Mary Phagan out of her."
-After hearing all the evidence the
Jury retired, and spent the afternoon
in deliberation, but could hot agreo
on a verdict, and last night a mis
trial was ordered.
The prosecution states that Wood
will he put on trial again. Mrs.
Southard testified at the trial that
Wood arrested her for spite, and
Subjected hek to numerous Indigni
ties before he took her to the sta
tion house.
The committee on pollution and
sewerage of the Merchants Associa
tion, of New York, has offered the
following suggestions for anticipa
ting the dangers ot the common
house fly by destroying tho surviv
ors of last year's crop:
Flies cost the United States (360,-
000.000 annually.
The present Is the time to sill files;
before the weather becomes warm
and the "hold-overs" begin to propa
gate.
One fly now means innumerable
billions later on.
The extermination of the winter
fly is the duty of the housewife and
of every one. Don't let one escape.
Catch and kill them all before spring,
for the winter fly Is the larent of
Rummer's destructive swarms.
The time to destroy the fly Is be
fore It has had a chance to lay Its
eggs. .Now Is tho time.
Capture every one of the filthy lit
tle pests you can And.
A single fly is capable of deposit
ing 150 egss at one time, and of pro-
luclng five or six batches during Its
short life.
The progeny of a single pair
flies, assuming that they all live, if
pressed together at the end of the
Rummer, would occupy a space of
over fourteen million cubic feet.
This would be equivalent to a
building as largo as the Woolworth
building.
These figures show the Incalcula
ble possibilities of a single fly and
how vital It Is to destroy tho winter
files.
Don’t think hecauso the flies do
not annoy vou that they shoild not
swatted;” now Is when "swat
ting” Is most effective.
K1LLIFER CASE DENIED ON THE
GROUNDS THAT LEAGUE CAME
INTO COURT WITH “UNCLEAN.
HANDS.”
Grand Rapids, Mich., April 10.
Judge Session*, In the Federal dis
trict court today denied tho anpll-
catlon ot the Chicago Federal
League club for an Injunction to pre-
ent Catcher William Killlfor from
playing with the Philadelphia Na
tionals.
The application was denied on the
ground that the Chicago Fcderals
did not come into court "with clean
hands.” The decision also holds
that the reserve clause is not valid.
Tno court held that the Federal
League, in inducing Killlfer to sign
with them, persuaded him to violate
a moral, if not a legal, obligation.
Therefore it refused to grant, the
Injunction, not because their con
tract with Killlfer was invalid, but
because the Federal's action, In se
curing it, was questionable. >

Trial and Wouldn't Let Anybody
Else Talk—Tried Later.
London, April 11.—Miss May Stew
art, a Militant Suffragette, wheu ar
raigned today for trying, witn tho
aid of a meat cleaver, to demolish

British Museum April ninth, created
such a disturbance that the Magis
trate had to dismiss court.
When tho prosecutor opened tne
case against her, she shouted, ’I
have not come here to listen to you
today.” She continued to cry out
loudly whenevei any one elso began
to talk. She said she would not
desist as long aa Mrs. Pankhurbt,
being tortured under the "cat and
mouse” act. Then she threw a hall
of paper at the Magistrate, whereat,
he and the public prosecutor gave It
up In dispalr and adjourned court.
Miss Stewart was then taken back
to Jail
“May Stowart" was later identified
as’ Catherine Wilson, who was ar
rested March 16th, In the lobby of
the House of Commons, dressed In
man's clothing and carrying a con
cealed dog whip. She was sentenced
at that time to six weeks at hard
labor. The real name of the pris
oner Is understood to ho CIbts Lam
bert. She has been convicted of Suf
frage outrages on several occasions.
few hours after her first ap
pearance, "Miss Stewart” re-entered
the prisoner’s enclosure with two
policemen holding her arms. .Sev
eral other policemen were held In
reserve. The prisoner created an
other uproar scene, bat the Magis
trate was able to take the neces
sary formal evidence, and then ho
committed her for'trial without ball.
