ACCURACY
Pasteur's Revenge.
Ia that one of the hundred best
hooka Vallery-Radot’s "Life of Pas
teur” we read the story of hla misery.
It Is nothing to say that the war
nearly broke his heart. But It broke
neither his faith nor the straight line
of his work. Only a sort of rage pos
sessed him to redeem and console
France by working for her. "Hence
forth,” he said, "every one of my
books shall have written on it these
words, Revenge, revenge, revenge."
And this was his revenge, to set the
name of France in the honors list of
science higher than ever; to give the
rest of his life to her service, and to
wear himself out for her sake.
Not Up-to-Date.
HLhe historic town of Bladensburg,
had a good bit of fun poked at
Tt by reason of its alleged sleepiness.
For instance, the story is told that a
Bladensburg merchant was dozing in
his shop one day when a litle boy
came in with a pitcher and asked for
a quart of milk. The merchant
yawned, stretched himself, hall
. opened his eyes, and then, in the
) most Injured tone, said: “Gee whiz.
'Ain’t there nobody that sells milk
Cn this town but me?”
I Liberia.
■ Liberia, the West African negro re
public, was founded mainly through
efforts of American quakers, or-
HBnized under the title of the Penn-
Rylvatfft CoVmist society. The chief
bar to the development of Liberia is
a law by which white men are not
fallowed to hold property in the coun
try. Capital has, therefore, gone else
where and Liberia possesses none of
the resources of modern civilization.
Loose Shoes.
Quite as bad as too tight shoes,
against which wo are always warned,
are too loose ones; they cause corns
and bunions and often produce flat
tening of the arches. The woman
with the peculiarly shaped foot who
cannot get shoes exactly to fit her
except when made to order, should
get them a little too long rather than
a little too wide; it is the lesser of
*.wo evils.
Spreading Happiness.
Happiness, at least, is not solitary;
It Joys to communicate; it loves oth
ers, for it depends on them for its ex
istence; it sanctions and encourages
to all delights that are not unkind in
themselves. The very name and ap
pearance of a happy man breathe of
good nature, and help the rest of us
to live.—Robert Louis Stevenson.
The Modern Youngster.
Johnny's father took him to the of
fice, and there the youngster saw the
stenographer come in late and take
the cover off her typewriter. “Look
at that!” exclaimed Johnny. “She
lifted the garage right oft the ma
chine.”
Home and Happiness.
To earn money and pay bills seems
to occupy most of a man’s time, and
he wonders why his home isn’t hap-
Jy. When he learns to earn love and
pay attention to his home, happiness
will ooze into his home through every
crack and keyhole.
Catching On.
Timid Lover (glancing at his watch)
—“Well, I must be going, Miss Dora.
Time presses.” Miss Dora (losing all
patience)—“l suppose so —nothing else
presses! . . . How dare you! Stop,
.George, you are mussing my hair.”
!
Crisis in Life.
“It's a crisis in a young man’s life,”
says the Philosopher of Folly, “when
he has to decide whether to make a
girl angry by trying to kiss her, or to
make her angry by not trying ”
Test of Friendship.
He who betrays another’s secret be
cause he has quarreled with him was
never worthy of the name of friend;
a breach of kindness will not justify
a breach of trust.
Not Quite-.
“What a blessing civilization has
been to the world! Consider for a
moment the bloody sports- of ancient
Rome —” “Why, what’s the mattei
with an automobile cup race?”

STATE CAPITAL LETTER
By Our Special Atlanta Correspondent
EX-GOVERNOR CANDLER DEAD.
Was Veteran of the Civil War and
Once Central Figure in Georgia.
Atlanta. —Allen D. Candler, former
govornor of Georgia and later com
piler of state records and archives,
died at his home, in this city, after a
long period of ill health. He would
nave been seventy-six years old on
November 22 next.
Allen D. Candler was a cousin of
Asa G., Bishop Warren A. and Judge
John S. Candler and a relative of all
the famous Georgia family, of which
so many have attained prominence.
He is survived by his wife, who was
Miss Gamier of Florida, and several
sons and daughters, Mark A., Vick E.,
Benjamin C., and Thomas C., and Mrs.
VV. K. Ashford, Mrs. H. C. Bunker
and Miss Annie Candler.
Allen D. Candler was born in Lump
kin county, Georgia, in November of
1834. He was a son of Daniel G. and
Nancy C. (Matthews) Candler. He
graduated from Mercer university in
1852, receiving the degree of master
of arts in 1866. On January 12, 1864,
he was married to Miss Eugenia Wil
liams. During the Civil war he serv
ed as a colonel in the Confederate
army. From 1872-78 he was a repre
sentative in the Georgia legislature
and a state senator in 1879-80. He
was a member of congress from 1882
to 1890; secretary of state of Geor
gia, 1898-02, and compiler of state
records front 1902 until his death.
The remains of Governor Candler
were taken to Gainesville accompan
ied by the active pallbearers and the
honorary escort. The funeral servi
ces were conducted at the First Bap
tist church, by Bishop Warren A.
Candler. Interment was at Alta Vis
ta cemetery.
Throughout his life ex-Governor
Candler was prominent in public life
and since the time that he held the
position of secretary of state he had
held office in the state government
continuously. During the last eight
years of his life he was compiler of
records and well known and beloved
by all the present occupants of the
capitol. Governor Brown issued a
proclamation when he heard of his
death, ordering a military escort to
acompany the remains to their last
resting place; that the offices of the
capitol should be closed during the
hours set apart for the funeral, and
that the state flags be displayed at
half mast for ten days.
DATE FOR POULTRY SHOW.
Association Fixes Dates and Entry
Fees and Selects Judges.
Atlanta.—A meeting of the board of
directors, followed by a meeting of
the Georgia Poultry association, was
held here.
The show will be held January 9-
15. The committee decided to make
the entry fee $1 for single birds and
$3 for pens, and to offer cash prizes
of |2.50 for firsts, $1.50 for seconds
and 75 cents for thirds. C. A. Emery
and F. J. Marshall will serve as judg
es at the show.
A governing committee, composed of
M. F. Morris, Rainey Miller and H. G.
Hastings, was appointed to take in
hand the work of arranging for am
carrying through the show.
The premium list will be out short
ly and will be widely circulated. A
number of valuable cups and prizes
will be given, and the awards will, it
is said, compare favorably with those
of the best show in the country.
CROP ONE-THIRD SHORT.
Agricultural Commissioner Hudson
Gives Out Statement.
Atlanta. —According to Commis
sioner of Agriculture T. G. Hudson,
who has just been traveling over
Georgia inspecting the cotton crops,
the crop will be about one-third short
this year. Says Mr. Hudson:
“The South Georgia crop is prob
ably showing the most normal aver
age of any section of the state. There
is no doubt that the crop is about
one-third short. The season would
have undoubtedly have shown a larg
er decrease had it not been for tne
exceptionally fine fall."
Atlanta. —A special bulletin dealing
With the boll weevil is being prepar
ed by State Entomologist E. L- Wor
sham and will be Issued soon by the
commissioner of agriculture. The
purpose of the publication is to
arouse interest in the meeting to be
field in Atlanta November 23, when
(.he chamber of commerce and the
Southern Conference of Agricultural
commissioners will devote a day to
the discussion of the boll weevil.
Atlanta.—Jesse B. Lee, a well-known
city official, lost a bet in the city
election by virtue of which he is
sworn neither to shave or trim his
beard in twelve months Mr. Lee al
ready has a thick bristly growth all
over his cheeks and chin. If the
beard keeps on growing at the rate
it started he will look like Rip Wan
Winkle after his eventful sleep, or
like Sampson before his locks were
shorn by the deceitful Delilia. Mr.
Lee made a bet with C. S. McNeely,
on the city engineer’s race, and lost.
3URIED TREASURE IN ATLANTA.
Document Found in Virginia Reveals
the Hiding Place.
Atlanta.—All adventurous and ro
mantic Atlanta has gone wild in a
search for buried treasure. A regu
lar Captain Kidd Stevenson mystery
has suddenly developed in this very
community, coming without warning
over the wires, and people
are still holding their breaths won
dering if it can be true.
“Go to my house in the cellar. To
the right you will find a post; take it
up; dig four feet and you will find a
box containing $5,000 in gold. My
skeleton you will find in the river.”
“(Signed) DR. HAMMOND."
"Sherman streee, Atlanta, Ga.”
According to dispatches from Wash
ington a tin box containing that mes
sage was found recently on the Vir
ginia shore of the Potomac river by a
twelve-year-old boy named Howard
Dunn, who lives at Congress heights.
The boy took the note home and open
ed it in the presence of his family.
When the note was discovered, the
father decided to inform the Washing
ton police, and they immediately tel
egraphed Atlanta. The police have
thus far failed to locate any Doctor
Hammond who could have disappear
ed mysteriously in recent years.
There is no Sherman street in At
lanta now, but old-timers dimly re
member that some street in Atlanta,
before the war was at one time thus
designated. The lact that the street
cannot be located is leading to gener
al speculation and search.
ATLANTA RACES BIG EVENT.
Forty Thousand Dollars Spent to
Make This Meet the Best Ever.
Atlanta.—November 3, 4 and 5
on the asphalt-gravel, two-mile track
the Atlanta Automobile association
will get under way the greatest race
meeting of stock chassis cars that
the world has ever known.
There Is no getting away from the
magnitude of this coming event.
Never before in the history of rac
ing have so many cars been entered
in one meet.
Another distinction of the coming
meet, is that it will be beyond ques
tion the most expensive race meeting
of any kin dever given in the world.
The original appropriation for the
meet was $25,000. But the amount
will prove inadequate and the affair
will cost $40,000 if it costs a penny—
and may run a good deal more. And
all this money is being spent for
three days’ of speedway sport.
The cost of each day will run close
to $15,000.
DID REMARKABLE SHOOTING.
Private of Fifth Regiment Punctured
Reclining Figure.
Atlanta. —There has just been is
sued in the shape of a postal card
photograph a record of some of the
most remarkable shooting that has
ever been done on a Georgia rifle
range.
The photograph is of a reclining
skirmish figure about two feet and a
half high, in which twenty white punc
tures indicate as many shots made by
V. B. Burpitt, private in Company K,
Fifth infantry, regiment, National
Guard of Georgia.
This perfect skirmish score on a
reclining figure has seldom been
made in the history of rifle shooting.
The shots were fired at unknown dis
tance, beginning at 660 yards and ev
ery three seconds, so that the entire
twenty shots were fired in the course
of a minute, with short running be
tween.
Seven of these shots struck togeth
er in almost the same place on the
figure, though each is distanct in it
self, and any one of the seven would
have grazed or pierced the heart had
the reclining figure been a man.
Atlanta. —The Atlanta Baptist asso
ciation will begin in several districts
just like a regular census of this city.
The city will be laid off in districts
just like a regular census would be
taken, made by volunteers from the
church. It is expected that several
hundred will be so engaged and that
the work will be acomplished in one
day, as was recently the case in Chi
cago. Facts as to church attendance
and Sunday schools will be secured
as accurately as possible. This ac
tion is in line with the general world
wide movement of religious bodies to
put their work on a practical working
basis to reach those who do not at
tend airj religious service..
Atlanta. Governor-elect Hoke
Smith is in receipt of a telegrant
from the Texas-Georgia society,
which was organized at the state fair
in Terrell, Texas, sending him greet
ing and inviting him to address the
society at the Dallas exposition in
1911. He was unanimously elected
an honorary member of the society
at the organization meeting. The of
ficers of the society are: Bishop Jos
eph Key, president, Sherman; A. S.

COMMISSIONER CABELL’S REPORT
WILL SHOW INTERESTING
FIGURES ON LIQUOR.
STAMPS WORTH $105,000
Sale of Internal Revenue Liquor
Stamps Show That Liquor is Still
Sold in the “Dry” States.
Washington.—The law in Alabama,
Georgia, North Carolina and a part
of South Carolina may be dry, just
?.s dry as Blackstone is to the aver
age law student, but tne ary belt ia
limited to the law, ana tne people
are wet, as wet as "Georgia corn”
and the “mountain aew” of "Ole Ken
tuck," according to tne reports of
revenue collectors in tuese prohibi
tion states made to their chief at
Washington.
These reports are fairly steeped in
liquor. They tell not only of "booze ’
being made, but lor sale, both in
small and large quantities.
In another month. Commissioner
Cabell will make public his annual
report, in which he will quote figures
furnished by collectors of internal
revneue in these states, showing the
number of special tax stamps whlcn
uave been sold in the past year, along
with the amounts yielded therefrom.
A majority of these were sold to re
tailers.
It is estimated that in Alabama,
Georgia, North Carolina and a small
part of South Carolina the receipts
ironi the sales of these .special tag
.tamps will amount to approximately
(105,000 for the fiscal year which end-
June 30 last.
In Alabama, the sale of retail
stamps amounted to approximately
(31,000, and on tue combined sale
i/f retail and wholesale, $386,000. In
Georgia there was a combined sale
uf $40,568 worth of stamps. Of this
amount, only about $2,500 was receiv
i d for wholesale stamps. North Car
olina conies next, owing to it being
a whole dry state. South Carolina
purchased more stamps, but several
counties in South Carolina operate dis
pensaries, and this naturally increases
the number of speeial retail stamps,
it is estimated $16,000 worth of both
kinds of stamps were sold in North
Carolina in the past year. Of this
amount $14,500 was received from re
tailers. Drug merchants were the
Heaviest buyers.
South Carolina will show a combin
ed sale of about $20,800 worth of
stamps. Like North Carolina, the
bulk of the stamps were purchased
by retailers. In this case, however,
the county dispensary was the heavy
buyer, with the druggists next.
Revenue officers state that the sale
of these special stamps is causing fric
tion between the state and Federal au
thorities, but point out that nothing
can be done to remedy the matter.
Commissioner Cabell refers all com
plaining prohibitionists to the consti
tution, which provides for such tax.
It is stated that the sale of the
stamps aids the county, city and state
officials in prosecuting violators of the
state laws.
THIS PROHIBITION PROHIBITS
Governor Stubbs Says There’s Not a
Saloon in Kansas.
Kansas City, M. —Gov. W. R. Stubbs
of Kansas addressed a mass meeting
at Convention hall here in behalf of
the proposed state-wide pronibition
amendment, which will be voted on at
the November election.
The purpose of the governor’s
speech was to answer the argument
issued by anti-prohibition leaders that
prohibition has injured Kansas, and
that the law is not enforced In that
state.
“If any brewer or distiller,” declar
ed Governor Stubbs, “can show me a
saloon or open joint in Kansas 1 will
close it at once or resign.”
The speakers read letters from may
ors and judges in various parts ol
Kansas to prove that the prohibitory
law is effective, and that since it has
been rigidly enforced bank deposits
have increased, crime has decreased,
real estate has risen in value and gen
eral business conditions have snv
proved.
Minneapolis Census Padded.
Washington.—Charging fraudulent
efforts on the part of individual enum
erators to pad the census returns for
Minneaoplis to the extent of fitf-six
hundred and sixty-eight names.
Census Director Durand announced
the correct population of that city
to be 301,408. The announced figure
is a gain of almost 49 per cent of
the population of 1900, which was
202,718. Mr. Durand said that, as
originally forwarded to the bureau,
the report contained 306,706 names.
Rioting in New York Strike.
New York City.—The metropolitan
district is in the grip of an express
strike. Nine companies are now af
fected; more than 6,000 men are out,
and rioting continues. A special or
der was Issued at police headquarters
holding practically the entire New
York police force, of more than 9,000
men, in reserve for an emergency.
More than fifty strike breakers, strik
es and police were hurt, many of
them seriously, in street clashes in
New York and Jersey City, hut no fa
talities have occurred.
