DECEMBER 7, IS
DATE OF PRIMARY
STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
DID NOT PROVIDE FOR A
CONVENTION.
NO PRESIDENTIAL VOTE
Committee to Meet Again on Decem
ber 12 to Declare the
Result.
—Atlanta.
Committee's Work In Brief.
Fixed Tuesday, December 7, as
date for special primary.
Did not provide for a state
convention, as is customary.
Adjourned to meet on Decem
ber 12 to consolidate the vote
and declare the winners.
Combined the “unite rule’’
with plurality vote; the candi
date getting the most votes in
any county will control all the
delegates to be prorated at the
rate of two for each representa
tive under the 1910 census ap
portionment; the candidate get
ting a plurality of the whole will
be declared the nominee.
The polls are thrown open to
all “qualified white electors.’’
Entrance fee is $l5O for gu
bernatorial and $75 for commis
sioner of laboT aspirants.
Declined to submit the prohibi
tion question on the ballots,
bolding that it cannot be an is
sue at this time.
Declined to let the people vote
on the presidential candidates.
Carried out a pre-arranged
schedule almost without charge
or discussion.
Made an appeal to the “patri
otism and loyalty” of party
members to hold the primary
without charge for personal ser
vice.
The state executive committee call
ed a primary for Thursday, Decem
ber 7, to nominate a candidate for
governor. It failed to call a conven
tion, but will itself declare the win
ner. It also kept within its power
the naming or providing a method for
naming, delegates who shall cast
cast Georgia's vote in nominating can
didates for president and vice presi
dent next year.
It was one of the quietest meetings
ever held by a state committee. Sug
gestions of a steam roller in full op
eration were in every move, though
all business was transacted in the
open and full opportunity for discus
sions allowed. Members took but a
languid interest, however, and those
opposed to some of the plans previ
ously outlined at private conference
seemed of opinion that vigorous pro
test would be useless, and contented
themselves with registering nominal
objections.
Reuben R. Arnold was at the helm
as master of ceremonies. ~
Practically the entire outlined pro
gram went through without change.
At one time it seemed as if the com
mittee would demand that something
be done looking toward sounding the
people with regard to presidential
candidates. At this point it was found
that the work could not be concluded
before lunch time, and timely ad
journment prevented what appeared
to be a brewing row. After reconven
ing later in the afternoon, that part
of the program was carried out with
hardly a ripple appearing on the
placid sea. This was accounted for
by several conferences, which are
said to have taken place during the
interim.
The presidential matter was defer
red until the committee meets on De
cember 12, to declar the gubernatorial
nominee, which means that there will
be no primary vote on the candidates
seeking the nomination. As no con
vention will follow the special pri
mary and as the regular one of 1912,
cannot be held earlier than August,
the actions means that the state com
mittee will name the winners.
Ashburn Gets Cheaper Rates.
By an order of the railroad commis
sion, issued the town of Ashburn of
Ashburn will have cheaper rates on
cotton to the ports than have pre
vailed in the past.
The citizens complained that a low
er rate on cotton on the ports of Sa
vannah and Brunswick was being al
lowed Cordele than was allowed Ash
burn by the Gulf Lane railroad and
the Georgia, Southern and Florida.
After investigation the commission
ordered that Ashburn be put on a
par with Cordele and the rate on cot
ton is thereby reduced five cents per
Cleveland. —President McCombs of
the Byrd-Matthews Investment com
pany, before leaving for his home in
gt. Louis, announced that the propos
ed Gainesville and Robertstown rail
way had been financed and would be
built Major Brooks, the engineer in
charge, has let the clearing to par
ties living in the mountains, who will
begin work this week. The major ex
pressed a hope to have all the other
work let and let the contracts signed
up with two weeks. This is most wel
come news for the people who have
hundred pounds, or from thirty-seven
to thirty-two cents per hundred.
The difference in the rate, accord
ing to the railroads, was because Ash
burn had been classed as a local point
and therefore received a local rate,
while Cordele had been classed as a
common point and received a cheaper
rate.
May Complete Roster Work.
The work of completing the Confed
erate roster, which was begun by the
late Gov. A. D. Candler and which
is now being carried on by former
Gov. W. J. Northen, may be turned
over to Pension Commissioner J. W.
Lindsey by the roster commission.
At a meeting of the commission,
composed of Governor Smith, Captain
Lindsey reported that practically all
the work now to be done on the ros
ter is to establish an alphabetical
card index system of the 70,000 names
of Confederate soldiers now on hand.
The commission believes that this
work can be completed in about two
months. Captain Lindsey was appoint
ed to investigate the probable length
of time the work will require, and it
was stated that he will probably be
instructed to prepare the index sys
tem and wind up the work.
The Federal government has posses
sion of the records bearing the names
of 50,000 soldiers of the Confederacy
which the state of Georgia has so far
been unable to secure. Governor
Smith stated that as soon as he be
comes United States senator he will
exert every effort to secure these rec
ords, which, when added to the pro
posed alphabetical card index sys
tem, will make the roster complete.
Hill Goes to the Supreme Court.
H. Warner Hill, chairman of the
railroad commission, has been tender
ed and has accepted the position of
associate justice of the supreme court
succeeding Judge Horace M. Holden,
who tendered his formal resignation
to Governor Smith. Paul B. Trammell,
well-known attorney of Dalton, is
named to fill the vacancy on the rail
road commission.
The appointment to the supreme
court bench w r as tendered Mr. Hill by
the governor and Mr. Hill shortly af
terward informed the governor that
he would accept.
Judge Hill's term as judge will be
gin next Monday, November 1, the
date on which Judge Holden’s resig
nation becomes effective, and his
term will be for a period of four
years, when Judge Holden's term
would have expired.
Mr. Hill has been in public life
practically ever since he began the
practice of law in Greenville, Meri
wether county, his home, in 1881,
having served several years in the
legislature and several years as rail
road commissioner.
Getting Ready to Act Governor.
John M. Slaton, president of the
Georgia state senate, who will do a
60-days’ turn as governor of Georgia,
beginning November 15, has gone to
New York to close up some degal
business before taking over the office
of chief executive of the state. He
will be there until about November
1, when he will return to Atlanta and
arrange his personal business in the
interval of two weeks before he takes
up his official duties.
Before leaving Atlanta Governor-to
be Slaton neglected to announce who
he would name for his executive and
private secretaries during his guber
natorial term: The two secretaries
now in the executive offices with Gov
ernor Hoke Smith, Messrs. Hitch and
Haralson, will retire with Governor
Smith on November 15, and will ac
company him to Washington to be
secretaries to Senator Hoke Smith,
Uncle Sam. permitting United States
senators to have two secretaries at
the expense of the government.
It will be incumbent upon Governor
Slaton to issue the call for the spe
cial election, following the state pri
mary, for governor and commissioner
of labor, and also to issue the call
for the special session of the general
assembly to inaugurate the governor
to be elected.

Dalton. —The safe of the North
Georgia warehouse here was blown
open and robbed of SIOO, the bulk of
which was in old gold and silver coin
belonging to Mrs. J. W. Barrett, and
kept in a safety deposit box of the
bank. The bookkeeper, Brownlee, of
the North Georgia Warehouse com
pany, went to the bank to deposit $2.
600, but found the bank closed. He
delivered the money to F. P. Davis,
cashier of the bank, whom he met
on the street later, and Mr. Davis
took it home with him, thus depriving
the burglars of at least that amount

Doubtful and Humiliated Hubby Now
Probably Believes Wife Can
Keep a Secret.
"The late William Rotch Wlster,
the father of American cricket, might
also be said to have been a godfather
of the feminist movement,” said a
woman writer at the Acorn club In
Philadelphia.
‘‘Mr. Wister,” she continued,” abomi

his wife like a child, refusing to take
her into his confidence. I once heard
Mr. Wlster tell a story Ger
mantown man of that sort.
“The man came bac)c from a busi
ness meeting wherein the future wel
fare of himself and his family was
vitally Involved, but he declined to
tell his wife what had been the meet
ing’s outcome.
“ ‘Oh, no,’ he sneered, T can’t tell
you anything. You’d repeat it if I did.
You, being a woman, are constitution
ally unable to keep a secret.'
“But the wife, with a quiet smile,
retorted: ’George, did I ever tell the
secret of how you were led astray
that summer the church conference
met in Chicago and got arrested In a
saloon for biting off the bartender’s
ear?’ ”

Rusktn Pitied Americans.
It is not only the half million
bricks of Tattershall that have been
numbered for trans-shipment across
the Atlantic. Ruskin, when he was a
boy, pitied the Americans for being
so nnhappy as to live in a country
that has no castles. They will have a
castle now, and no nation likes to
be pitied. But the other Importation,
made by Mrs. Gardner as an addition
to her Italian villa near Boston, was
that of an entire chapel as It stands,
with all Its Interior furnishings, even
to the half-burned candles in the al
tar. The monks who served the
chapel had been scattered by the
strong hand of the law, and the
building was to be devoted to the
pick ax. The courageous American
lady had It packed up in a Venetian
hill country, where It stood, and car
ried down piecemeal and embarked. —

BABY’S TERRIBLE SUFFERING
"When my baby was six months old,
1 his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to Itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began In pimples which
1 would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when I removed his
shirt.
“We tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cutlcura
Soap and Ointment. I used the Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before I could see that he was
Improving, and In six weeks’ time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. I think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that Is claimed for
them, and a great deal more.”

Toasting the Teachers.
There was a meeting of the new
teachers and the old. It was a sort of
love feast, reception or whatever you
call It. Anyhow, all the teachers got
together and pretended they didn’t
have a care In the world. After the
eats were et the syiflposlarch proposed
a toast:
“Long Live Our Teachers!”
It was drank enthusiastically. One
of the new teachers was called on to
respond. He modestly accepted. His
answer was:
“What on?”
Torture.
"I wonder how Tantalus felt,” said
the student of the classics.
"Probably,” replied Colonel Stilwell,
“like a thirsty Maine man listening
to the election returns.”

or dizzy feelings, oppressed breathing after meals or their
v ~ ■ eyes become blurred, their heart is not sufficiently strong
to pump blood to the extremities,and they have cold hand*

which has no bad after-effect. Such is Dr. Pierce’s Golden
* -at Medical Discovery, which contains no dangerous narcotic*

The Ingredients, as attested under oath, are Stone root (Coltlnsonla Csnadan

This tonio contains no aloohol to shrink up the red blood corpuscles ; but, on
the other hand, it increasea their number and they become round and healthy.
It helps the humsn system in the constant manufacture of rich, red blood. It
helps the stomach to assimilate or take up the proper elements from the food,
