The President took the same view
as does Secretary Bryan, that. Jn re
pealing the exemption, the United
States merely showed a disinclina

its future policy.

Governor Slaton Honors Mrs. Felton
"With a Trusteeship of New Train

Atlanta, April 13.—Mrs. W. H.
Felton, the oldest active Suffragette

exception of Dr. Mary Walker, has
been honored at the advanced age of
79 years by Governor Slator with

Mrs. Felton is one of tne only two

Several thousand men have * been
imported to fill the strikers’ places,
and the companies will be hard
pressed to find places for all the re
turning strikers. When the strike
began, the Union claimed that ap
proximately 13,000 men had walked
out. Since that time many o! them
have returned to work, while others
have moved away from the district.
It Is . believed that six thousand, or
less, will return to work.

VALDOSTA JUDGE ASKED TO
MAKE THE RACE FOR CHIEF
EXECUTIVE—W. H. BURWELL
WILL RUN ALSO. f 1
News items for the past several
days have mentioned Judge W. E.
Thomas, of Valdosta, as a probable
candidate for Governor. No definite
announcement haB been forthcoming
from him, however, in the matter,
but he is being urged very earnestly,
especially in this section of the State
to seriously consider the race.
W. H. Burwell, of Sparta, Speaker
of the House of Representatives, will
be in the race for Governor, unless
Hon. C. Murphy Candler decides he
will run. This is positively stated
by gentlemen who are close to him.
Mr. Burwell is well-known and popu
lar, and would poll a good vote
throughout the State.

In considering the items of cost, fer

bill for that Item alone amounting to

ably less. Man labor is the largest
item of expense amounting to $2,-
