FOOL STUNTS
There has always been a mysterious
laxity among certain rich people In j
paying their bills promptly. This is'
more readily forgiven because it de-j
notes carelessness only # and creditors
are morally sure of their money, eveu
though it is subject to the whims of
the rich debtors, often embarrassing
to the creditor, but reassuring at utiy
r I mhatorial candidates
MAKE FLYING START IN
One of the rich ladles of Greenwich.
Conn., contracted u bill for $420 with
a cub company in that city. She left
for her New York winter home without
paying it. The company sent a rep
resentative to nee her and she did not
pay. A short time afterward, when
the second visit had been made, she
drove up to the office of the company
in a car in which was a keg. in that
keg she had collected and offered in
payment of this trifling bill. 42,000
one-cent pieces. It took four men to
carry tlie keg into the bank. The lady,
to carry out her frisky notions, also
paid for the taxi fee of the visitors,
who tried to collect. She also contrib
uted her photo, under which was writ
ten “O la la."
Such a fool stunt is worthy of some
of the speciroeus that control worlds
of money. They run out of anything
to amuse them, and indulge in such
inane and idiotic stunts as this. She
may have gotten some pleasure out
of it especially as the incident was
given no little publicity. A great joke
it was. and worthy of the practical
nature of some of these folks that
have more money than sense.
A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR
The murder of a clergyman of New
Brunswick. N. J., aud his sexton’s
wife, the bodies found together under
an old tree on an abandoned farm, has
created country-wide interest, in view
of the fact that the mystery is still
just that and no solution yet seems
probable.
New Jersey has been noted for the
strictness of its court action in mur
der cases and the surety or punish
ment. Tills is due to the efficiency
of the courts, the detective force and
the effectiveness of the prosecutions
that occur. A New Jersey murder has
very little chance of getting by with
out something being done to avenge it
legally.
This case seems to have been bun
gled. The minister was shot and so
was the companion with him. Only a
superficial examination was made and
the fact that the woman’s throat was
cut. a wound that itself might have
caused death, was entirely overlooked
at the time the bodies were examined
by the officers. They were evidently
placed where they were found, all pre
pared for burial.
This fact was overlooked until four
teen days alter the finding of the
bodies, and likewise that the bullet
wounds were caused by an entirely
different caliber pistol, from that at
first suspected. Later developments
have turned the inquiry into other
channels than those at first suspected,
hut it Is still not solved. New Jersey
constabulary has been involved
through Governor Kdwards ami It may

will soon he uuraveM. The bungling
tactics of the first county authorities

of the number of incomes and 23.69

in. This is a great showing by the

HARDWICK, BOIFEUILLET
GEORGE—WHICH?
OR
The Senatorial situation in Georgia
is fast lining up. Indications point to
a very tense struggle, which will by
due process of political elimination,
eventually evolve into a race between
three men, Governor Hardwick. Judge
Walter George and John Boitauillet.
Governor Hardwick is planning a
very shrewd campaign, with only a
few speeches, no utterances of a rad
ical or sensational character but he
will probably rely mainly for his
trength in the counties that he car-
led in his race for Governor, figur
ing that if the others ere split between
George and Botfeuillet and perhap
others he may secure a majority,
with other defections, due to the
plurality rule in the county units.
A split In a few counties between
George and Boifeuillet or with the ad
dition to the vote that the other four
may receive will give a county to
Hardwick, which would probably not
give him a majority. In this way the
Governor has a splendid chance to
win. as the lone candidate alwav
does when opposed by two or more of
another school or faction.
Politicians have seen the dunger
and efforts are already under way to
combat that tendency in the usual
manner. What its success will be
cannot be foretold. On it depends the
race for Hardwick hopes to win on
the first race and stands a much bet
ter chance there than he would in a
run-off primary with either George or
Boifeuillet.
At any rate it is fair to speculate
on it and many are doing that sumo
thing. The people are not tearing
their hair or dirtying their shirts over
either of them, however, and it looks
like the possibility of a small voto and
not much great interest by the people
generally.
The farmer gets it in the neck all
around, but he is going to be dealing
it out himself some day.

construed to mean, according to
Chief of Police Flanders, that this

The truth of the matter is that
the Atlanta Motor club has written
here for pero.ission to send a dirver

AIRS. FELTON NOW ON THE
GOVERNMENT PAYROLL
SHORT CAMPAIGN
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 6 In political
centers here things are setting down
yesterday in the matter of the fight
for the United States Senate vacancy
to the general acceptance that it will
be about the most intense as well
ss the shortest political fight for
high office ever conducted in Geor.
gia. The field is going to be pretty
well filled with, candidates.
Early yesterday morning entrance
fees had been filed with Secretary
E. W. Jordan by John R. Cooper of
Macon, Judge Gua H. Howard of At
lanta, Judge Walter F George of
Vienna, Col. John T. Boifoullet of
Macon, Gov. Thomas W. Hardwick
and Seaborn Wright of Rome. It
was at this time understood that
Judge Jim Flynt would mail his fee
to him yesterday.
Col. H. H. Dean of Gainsville and
President Herbert Clay of the retir
ing state Senate are out of the race
and, it is understood Carl Hutcheson
of Atlanta ia also out of the runn
ing.
Under th, rules promulgated by
Chairman Vereen and the executive
committee, and which have been rati
fied by the Walker convention, fees
of all candidates must have been
paid by noon of this date. Whether
or not any fee put in the mails and
showing a postmark prior to noon
yesterday will be received is up to
Secretary Jordan.
Few announcements were made by
any of the candidates yesterday, ex
cept that they have opened head
quarters and gotten down to work.
The most important development
along that line and at the same
time a political development of
future import is in the statement
issued by Gov. Hardwick vigorously
disavowing anything of any nature
whatsoever of a combination between
him and any other man. He says he
is "toting his own skillet.” This
somewhat changes the ' outlook in
that it was reported that a "combi
nation” had been formed between
the Governor and former Servitor
Hoke Smith, which was the combi
nation the whole thought of the Mb-
con convention gathering turned to
planning to beat.
Judge Walter F. George made the
brief statement, through W. W.
Dykes, that he has oponed head,
quarters in the Kimbnll House and is
devoting yesterday to organizing a
clerical and stenographic force, and
will begin at once reaching as many
people throughout the state as possi
ble by direct correspondence. As
quickly us possible, he snys, he will
have a message to convey to the peo
ple through the newspapers.
Col. John T. Boifeuillet returned
to his office yesterday morning and
immediately began perfecting his
campaign plans. He will have head
quarters in Macon, which urc to be
in charge of Maj. Ben J. Fowler, and
also in Atlanta, where he will him.
self handle the situation.
Judge Hound's cunipaign arrange
ments huve not been announced. But
lie already Ims the beneflt of much
of tile recent cumpuign organization,
which he directed himself.
Guv. Ilurdwick is handling his own
campaign this time, and already has
a force of stenographers at work.
H, said yesterday it is not his
purpose to make a series of cam
paign speeches, but he has accepted
an invitation to go to Curteraville
Friday night and deliver n political
speech at a demonstration which has
been arranged for the temporary
United States senator, Mrs. William
H. Felton. That demonstration, it
is understood, will assume some
considerable proportions, since it
will be for the double purpose of
paying tribute to "Georgia's grand
old woman” and at the same time to
the first woman United States sena
tor in this country.
In addition to that address the
Governor will deliver a campaign
speech at Decatur, DoKalb county,
Monday night. Otherwise he will

Take Ice The Year ’Round
Domestic Science authorities — the medical profes
sion—all advise the year ’round use of ice.
In the cooler Fall months—in the cold months of
Winter—your ice bill is less because the weather is
saving ice for you. But your food bill is just as
much as ever. ,
If certainly is good household management to pro
tect this valuable food in a well iced refrigerator,

Ice will always save many times its cost in food
