GOOD STORY TOLD ON GEN.
BAILLOUD, BALKAN LEADER
SALONIKI, June 22.—General Bal
lcud, commanding part of the French
expeditionary force in the Balkins, is
so popular with his men that nearly,
every good story originating in hit
corps is either about him or attrib
uted to him. The latest anecdote go
ing the rounds tells how a soldier so
the rough and ready style was re
turning to quarters near Monastir with
a waterjug in each hand. Coming
across another mud-stained “poilu”
sitting beside the road, he hailed him:
"Hello, old man.”
, ’ Hello,” replied the other.
, "Say. can’t you carry one of these
jugs for me?”
"Sure,” and they went on together.
“Would you believe it,” said the
first soldier, "they’ve chucked me into
i the grade of corporal.”
( "What of that,” replied the other,
( "didn't they chuck me into the grade
of general?”
After nearly dropping his jug, the
soldier drew closer and made out
faint stars on a mud-stained sleeve
He drew himself up at attention and
saluted.
"Walk on. corporal,” said General
F’ailloud. who wouldn’t consent to givj
up his jug.

FLIMSY FLIM-FLAM GAME
BEING WORKED IN ATLANT!
ATLANTA, Ga.. June 22.—A new
method of separating the public from
its dimes has been put in operation in
Atlanta by a fellow who isn’t willing
to do honest work for a living, and who
is getting away with it in fine shape
and apparently not violating any law
against flim-fiammers.
He has supplied himself with an
elaborate collection of round pieces of
colored glass of twelve different colors,
each one representing a birthstone for
some particular month, such as a glass
to represent the diamond, another to
represent the opal, another to repre
sent the ruby, etc.
He walks into an office and asks the
month of your birth and when you tell
him he throws out the stone to rep
i esent your month and tells you it
will bring you great luck. He doesn't
claim they are precious stones, merely
luck pieces.
You don’t want to buy one, so lie
magnanimously gives it to you, and ai
you can’t very well get out of offering
him at least a little something, you us
ually reach in your pocket and pull out
a dime, and he thanks you and is on his
way.

"RHYTHMIC AFFINITY” DANCE
IS EXCEEDINGLY DANGEROUS
ATLANTA, Ga., June 22.—And now
bthe reformers have found a terrible
new danger in the modern dance. It is
known a • hythmic affinity,” and it is
said to be more dangerous than lock
jaw or lightning.
“When a young man finds himself
getting into the rhythm of just one
girl and finds he cannot dance as well
with any other partner, he has found
I’is rhythmic mate, and he had better
pull up sharp and think.” they say.
“And when a girl discovers that
there is just one man with whom she
can dance a little better than with
anybody else, then she and he should
either announce their engagement and
get married at the earliest possible
moment or break away and never see
each other again, for they are rhythmic
affinities, and they are dangerous t>
each other," it is further declared.
This “rhythmic affinity” business
seems to be a sort of second cousin to
the soul mate stuff of a few years ago
except in the latter people usually
made the excuse that primary attrac
tion came from the mind and soul,
while in the rhythmic affinity business
it is all a matter of feeling.
TRYING TO PRINT HISTORY IN
YIDDISH IN ATLANTA SHOPS
ATLANTA, Ga.. June 22.—A chubby
little man with red cheeks, and a
v.l’ita pointed beard is in a peck ofi
trouble because lie can't find enough.
Yiddish type in Atlanta to set up a'
history of the Jewish people of this
city and Georgia since the civil war.
After writing his history, which is a
very thoughtful and scholarly docu
ment, he started out to have it printed ’
in Yiddish, and very much to his stir-'
prise discovered that there were only'
about three fonts of that type in At-'
! lanta, which was enough to set up a I
•couple of small advertisements.
But he says he’s determined to print
his history, if he has to import the!
type, and is receiving assistance i
that line by numerous Atlanta friend-3'
'he has made since coming here.

TRENCH TALES.
“We were holding a line of German

■the position was important, and we

after a bit our bombs and ammunition
I began to run out. One of the new
‘ men was sent back to get help. He
found an officer of the battalion fur
ther back who was so knocked out he
could hardly move. The man salutes
'and tells how things are. ‘You’ve no
[more bombs?’ says the officer, half
asleep. ‘No, sir.’ ‘No more rifle am

said the officer, ‘Swank them.’ ‘Yes.
sir,’ says the man, and he gvae p’rade
salute and hurried back to the trench.
iWe swanked them alright and held on
until we were relieved. That’s the
'only case I ever heard where a com
|pany ran out of ammunition. You’d
think that with the quick way we go
forward there would be lots of cases,
( but it’s marvelous how everything fol
lows up an advance nowadays. The
I
I guns are up in quick time, the trans
port keeps the rations and ammuni
tion up to scratch, the pioneers and
labor companies get busy on the cap
tured land almost as soon as we’ve
parsed over it. I tell you the thing
corks like magic.”

(LANS GATHERING FOR
HOUSE ORGANIZATION FIGHT
ATLANTA. Ga., June 22—Now that
prohibition has been disposed of by
the enactment of the bone dry law,
which is probably the most drastic
statute of its kind that was ever en
acted, the Georgia legislature con
vening next week will be forced to
turn its attention to other subjects.
Just at present the principal inter
est of members of the legislature is
centered around the race for speaker
of the house and president of the
I senate, and already headquarters have
been opened in the Kimball House by
Representative John N. Holder, of
Jackson county, candidate for speake*-
with headquarters of the other two
candidates soon to follow.
These are Representative Nath F.
i Culpepper, of Meriwether county, and
j Representative W. H. Burwell, of Han
cock county. Mr. Burwell was speaker
of the last house and the one before,
and Mr. Holder was speaker of the
two houses immediately preceding. For
the last four years, however, Mr. Hol
der has been out of the legislature, and
now comes back from Jackson county
as a candidate for return to Ills for
mer honors.
That the sentiment of a majority of
the house is favorable to a change Is
the prevailing opinion and both Rep
resentative Culpepper and Representa
tive Holder are counting on this senti
ment. to win. The supporters of Rep
resentative Culpepper, who is conceded
i forty or more of the sixty-five hold
over members, are confident he will
lead the ticket on the first ballot, and
they believe this will insure his elec ■
tion. A majority of the house are nec
essary to elect.
In the senate the race for president
ij between Samuel L. Olive, of Au
gusta, and Judge H. W. Hopkins, so
Thomasville. Both were members of
the 1915-16 house and have now come
to the senate from their respective
districts.

WITH SWEET OLD SONGS
MACON GIRL IS ROTARY TOAST
ATLANTA, Ga., June 22.—A pretty
girl whom President Arch C. Klumph
introduced as a “Georgia peach” al
most stopped the wheels of business
a; the Rotary convention in the Bap
tist Tabernacle here.
She was Miss Mary West Craig, mas
cot of the Rotary club of Macon, and
she sang to the delegates the songs
of the Old South, “Swing Low. Sweei
Chariot.” “Gonna Sing All Over God's
Heaven,” and “Suwanee Ribber.”
Miss Craig was escorted to the plat
form by a member of the Macon club.
As she walked up the steps the Ro
tarians rose to their feet and demand
ed that she be put high up in full
view where everybody could see her
So Miss Craig stood on a chair be
hind the pulpit and smiled down a'
them, a pretty, re 1-cheeked girl with
1 lack hair and big brown eyes, clad in
a simple dress of old rose.
