Atlanta. —Within twenty-five hours after twenty-one managers of election of Gitfier county had pleaded guity in open court in that county to charges of violating the election law's by fail ure to observe the list of voters as prepared by the registration board, Governor Brown issued pardons to each, of them, and without referring the matter to the pardon board. A. H. Burtz was found guilty and immediately the other defendants en tered pleas of guilty, then rushed their attorneys to Atlanta to get the governor to pardon them. Governor Brown decided that the prosecution of the men was malicious and due to factional politics. Regarding the pardoning Governor Brown says; "The applicants were convicted and antered pleas of guilty to a charge growing out of the management of an eection in the said county (Gilmer), said prosecutions being purely lor po litical purposes, and are recommend ed by many good people, who insist that said prosecutions were so insti tuted.” Gilmer has been the seat of a polit ical war for the past few years, first one faction then the other dominat ing. These factions are always in a row of some sort. $100,000,000 DEPOSITS. Banks of Georgia Are in Fine Shape According to Treasurer. Atlanta.—There are now in the .tate of Georgia 540 state banks, with jpward of $40,000,000 of capital and surplus and $100,000,000 of deposits, and there has not been a single fail ure in three years, according to Ben /. Perry, assistant to the state treas urer. Mr. Perry has just inaugurated a aew system by which the reports of the state banks, 4,800 reports annual ly, will be kept tabulated in one book, which will show at a glance in paral lel columns the date of examination of every bank and its precise condi tion on that date, snowing resources, liabilities and list of stocknolders. Notwithstanding the work neces sary to make up this record, and the limited office force, Mr. Perry says that every effort will be made by the present force to do the work, realizing that it will furnish information so much needed and desired by the bankers and others interested in the condition of state banks, as it will keep a perfect tab on each individual hank and furnish easy reference thereto. NEAR-BEER FIGHT. Anti-Saloon League Preparing for Strong Campaign. Atlanta.—The Anti-Saloon league is making plans for a hard light on near-beer at the session of the legislature next June. Personal letters have been sent out to the new ly elected law-makers over the state enlisting their support for better leg islation. Many favorable replies have been received from the egislators. It is the plan of the Anti-Saloon league and their hundreds of prohibi tion friends to amend the prohibition law so as to. eliminate the word in toxicating, which It appears has caused a world of trouble. It seems to be a pretty hard matter to prove that the near-beer is intoxicating in many instances, because, as some nave expressed it, one man’s capacity for drinking is greater than another’s’ The idea of the league is to make it against the law to sell beer or any other drink that contains any alcohol whatever. Atlanta.—lt is a pretty sure thing that Atlanta will get the next Na tional Democratic convention which is to be held next year. If the city does not get the convention it will not be due to any want of effort on its part. Already the city council bas taken the matter in hand, ap pointed a committee and will work with might and main to win. It re quires something like $50,000 in ex penses to get this convention but ap parently this is a small thing to At lanta and the state. The funds are practically assured and early this week committees will begin working out ways and means to secure the convention and care for it after it is secured. AtSanta.—Charlie C. Williams, for a number of years private secretary to Major J. F. Hanson, president of the Central railroad, and one of the best .mown railroad officials in the state, cas resigned that position and accept ed a place with a Land and Invest ment company of Atlanta. Atlanta—The Presbyterian synod -if Georgia will meet at Commerce Wednesday, November 8. Reports from Commerce state that the people of that enterprising town are making plans to entertain the state meeting FINE COTON FROM ELBERT. Has Nine Locks of Lint to the 801 l Instead of Usual Four. Atlanta. —Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture Robert F. Wright receiv ed by express several bolls of cotton, which was grown by E. C. Teasley at nls farm near Bowman, in Elbert county. The bolls are the largest that nave ever been seen in the depart ment, and instead of the usual num ber of four locks of lint to the boll, each one of those sent contains nine locks. “This is undoubtedly the finest cot: ton that 1 have ever seen,” said Cap tain Wright, ’and it illustrates the of careful culture and selection of seed in the growing of farm prod ucts. Mr. Teasley told me that he has been selecting his seed for the past three years in order to get this result, and he has done admirably well. “Mr. Teasley tells me that after he had planted his first selection of seed three years ago he went through his field, after his cotton had opened and was ready to be picked, and selected the largest bolls, or the ones having tlie greatest number of locks. These he had ginned separately, and the next season he planted the seed in a different patch from his other cotton. That fall he went through the same process of selection, taking only those bolls that had a large number of locks, and then again the next year, which finally resulted in his securing the unusually fine specimens which 1 have here. From this planting I esti mate that he will secure more lint than he would from the ordinary kind, as according to the number of locks contained in each of these bolls, he can gin out just double the amount ue would from the other kind.” claim they were deported. Italians Sue Lookout Coal Company and English for $55,000. Atlanta.—Gufdo Serrino and two other Italians who were involved in the Durham mine disturbance of last May, have failed Individual suits in the city court against the Lookout Mountain Coal and Coke company and J, W. English, Jr., charging that they were deported by tnreat and duress from the state of Georgia when tney had violated no law. The petitions allege that James W. English, Jr., on his own authority and without warrant and law, caused the Lindale company of the Fifth regi ment of the state infantry to be sent to Durham mines in order to serve his private purposes, and because of the facts set forth in the petitions, each plaintiff asks $2,500 damages— an aggregate of $55,000 damages. Atlanta.—The Presbyterians of At lanta are arranging lor a gigantic mass meeting which is to be held in tho auditorium-armory Sunday, De cember 11. December 4 marks the be ginning of the fiftieth year of the oouthem Presbyterian church and the meeting on the 11th is intended as a celebration of that event. The chief speaker on the occasion will be Dr. James 1. Vance, who is regarded as probably the greatest Presbyterian preacher in America. He has prob ably been called to more big Presby terian churches than any other man in the world. For the last six years he has been pastor of the North Re form church in Newark, N. J. Atlanta. —The announcement that the Georgia Educational association will probably hold its 1911 convention in Rome next April has been received with interest by educators in all parts of the state. It will be recalled that at the Atlanta convention last April Rome extended an Invitation but the time and place of meeting were left to the directorate. It now aDpears that the choice of the next meeting place will be decided in a few days and R. B. Daniel of Columbus, presi dent of the Georgia Teachers’ associ ation, has written to Rome asking if they still desire the convention. Savannah.—That the south can grow corn successfully, and at a much lower cost than it can buy from the north and west, has been demonstrat ed frequently, said Prof. James M. Johnson, manager of the model farm in discussing the possibilities of that industry in the connection with the prevalence through this section, es pecially, of the corn weevil, said to be the worst evil the southern farmer has to contend with.

NEED MONEY FOR GOOD WORK P ans of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. What “A Million for Tuberculosis rom Red Cross Seals” will do in pro viding some of the 275,000 beds need ed at once in the United States for consumptives, is explained in a recent bulletin of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tu berculosis. There is just about one bed for every ten indigent consump tives, and if all tuberculosis persons in the country are counted, both rich and poor, hardly one for every 25 or 30. If sufficient hospital accommoda tions are provided only for those who are too poor to pay the full price for their treatment fully 275,000 more beds in special institutions for tuberculosis will be needed at once. The immense outlay necessary to pro vide and maintain so many beds in hospitals, makes it imperative, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis de clares, that such institutions be erect ed from public money, either muni cipal, county or state. In order to get appropriations for public hospitals for tuberculosis, agitation is neces sary, and in order to create a cam paign of agitation, organization is de manded. But in order that an organi zation may carry on an effective cam paign, funds are needed. These funds it is proposed to secure in as many communities as possible from the sale of Red Cross seals. The Spots Disappeared. Mrs. Dolan lived in a district which was not as favorable for the outdoor household experiments recommended by the Ladies' Helper as it might have been. This fact Mrs. Dolan was rapid ly assimilating, and in a manner not so uncommon as it might be she blamed the estimable periodical for her difficulties. "I wisht I had a holt o’ that woman that runs the 'Handy Hints’ depart ment,” she remarked to her husband one morning after an early excursion into the back yard, whence she re turned in high dudgeon. “I t’ought you fought she was a grand wan,” said Mr. Dolan, cautious ly testing his cup of tea. “Well, I’ve changed me mind, as I’ve the rights to do,” replied his wife. “She said to put sody on thim stains in the tablecloth, and l’ave it out over night on the line, an’ they’d be gone entirely whin morning come. Sure' ’tis the tablecloth that’s gone—the d-e --saving woman that she is!”—Youth’s Companion. A Logical Landlord. Many a tenant will sympathize with the man in this story, from the Phila delphia Record. He was renting a small house which the landlord had refused to repair. One day the owner came to see him. "Jones,” he said, “I shall have to raise your rent.” "What for?" asked Jones, anxiously. “Have taxes gone up?” "No,” the landlord answered, “but I see you’ve painted the house and put In a new range and bathtub. That, of course, makes it worth more rent.” WISE WORDS. A Physician on Food. A physician, of Portland, Oregon, bas views about food. He says: “I have always believed that the duty of the physician does not cease with treating the sick, but that we owe it to humanity to teach them how to protect their health, especially by hygienic End dietetic laws. “With such a feeling as to my dujflgj I take great pleasure in saying to public that in my own experience also from personal observation I. found no food equal to and that I find there is almost no litnro to the great benefits this food wi“ bring when used in ail cases of sick ness and convalescence. “It is my experience that no physi cal condition forbids the use of Grape- Nuts. To persons in health there Is nothing so nourishing and acceptable to the stomach, especially at break fast, to start the machinery of the hu man system on the day’s work. "In cases of Indigestion I know that a complete breakfast can bo made of Grape-Nuts and cream and I think it is not advisable to overload the stomach at the morning meal. I also know the great value of Grape-Nuts when the stomach Is too weak to digest other food. “This is written after an experience of more than 20 years, treating all manner of chronic and acute diseases, and the letter is written voluntarily on my part without any request for it.” Read the litt'e book. “ T be Road to Wellville,” in pkgs.
