HOME LIFE OF
A CONGRESSMAN
Hon. Dudley M. Hughes as
Seen by a Friend who
Knows Him.
(From The Macon Telegraph.)
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
A few days ago I paid a visit to
see my distinguished friend, Dud
ley M. Hughes. I found him
surrounded by his happy family
at his home near Danville, with
palatial oaks, magnolias, shrub
bery and beautiful flowers in the
yard that makes his home very
cheerful indeed. One always feels
refreshed and uplifted after a
visit to his home. Mrs. Hughes,
the queen of his home, and very
gracious in manner and disposi
tion, full of hope to cheer one
along life’s pathway. Miss Hennie
Lou, the only daughter, is also
gracious indeed, and one feels
happy in conversation with her.
She is cheerful, lovely, and a
beautiful character. Denard and
Dan, the two sons of this family,
are both endowed with the happy
faculty of their father—business
like in their way and friends to
every soul. Denard is president
of the Bank of Danville, also a
farmer. At the bank he lets out
money to the farmers to make
their crops and is very popular
with them. Dan G. is also by
nature a farmer and is assistant
to Hon. J. D. Price, commissioner
of agriculture. He is a splendid
man and will some day reach the
top of the ladder. Miss Mary
Dudley Fort and her brother,
Hon. Thomas L. Fort, are also
members of Mr. Hughes’ family.
Miss Mary Dudley Fort is a beau
tiful girl, quick and spry. To
know her is to love her at once.
Hon. James L. Fort is secretary
to Mr. Hughes, and a very ele
gant gentleman. Mr. Hughes
was very fortunate in getting
him for his secretary. Mr. Fort
and his sister are children of the
lamented and distinguished Allen
Fort, of Americus.
But back to the main subject
of this article is indeed Mr.
Hughes. I have known him for
forty years and lived neighbor to
him for thirty years. In all these
years I have found him the same
kind and good man, always ready
to do one a favor and oblige one
if in his power. He has been as
kind to me as a brother and I love
him sincerely. The people along
the M. D. and S. railroad owe
Dudley Hughes a gratitude that
they never can repay. He virtual
ly got the M. D. and S. railroad
built by his efforts and his money,
which he spent to get it built. I
know of over seventy-five thous
and dollars that he spent in this
railroad and has never received
one dollar of it back. This was
all done for the people and to get
the road.
Mr. Hughes has held many
distinguished positions in Geor
gia. He is at. present a member
of Congress and I trust he may
be returned. To recall him would
be a calamity and almost a sin.
He is very popular in his district.
In his last race he carried every
county in his district but one,
carrying his opponent’s own
county. He is very active in
Congress and is at present chair
man of the committe on educa
tion, a very important position.
Mr. Champ Clark said in his
speech in Macon that Dudley M.
Hughes jvas one of the best men
in Congress and that he was yery
vigilant on his committee. This
is indeed complimentary, lam
not in Mr. Hughes’ district. I
wish I was and then I could vote
for him. But I shall always
speak a good word for Mr.
Hughes.
Col. D. G. Hughes, father of
Dudley Hughes, was always my
friend. He too, was a very dis
tinguished man, a gentleman of
the old school, and to know him
was to love him. I trust I may
meet him in the great beyond.

British View of
Cotton and the War.
Careful calculations show that
since the war began Germany has
been shooting away from 800 to
1,000 tons of cotton a day on all
fronts. One of her great fortress
reducing howitzers shoots a ton
in about eight shots. Taking big
and little cannon together, it is
estimated that about 650 shots
account for a ton. It is calcula
ted that at the present time Ger
many has about 250,000 tons of
cotton available. To secure this
surplus she has had to close
down those cotton mills that are
not employed upon army con
tracts. If she continues to shoot
away 800 tons a day, it is a mat
ter of simple calculation to ascer
tain that by the first week in
February she will have “shot
her bundle.’’ If she uses cotton
at the rate of 1,000 tons a day,
as calculated by Hillaire Beiloc,
she will have exhausted her sup
ply a month earlier. Reports
have been sent out from Berlin
to the effect that the chemists of
Germany have found in wood
pulp a substitute for cotton; but
British scientists tell us that this
is impossible. Even if wood pulp
would answer the purpose, it
would be necessary to remodel
all the guns before they could
utilize it. Therefore, we are jus
tified in assuming that if Ger
many cannot get cotton she can
not get ammunition, and that if
she cannot get ammunition she
will have to throw down her
arms. —Toronto (Canada) Em

Mule Didn’t Mind
Beehive in His Ear.
Rome. N. Y., Oct. 2.-C. E.
Edgecross took one of his mules
from the pasture, where it had
been for several weeks, and while
hitching it up noticed several
bees flying around the animal’s
head. Fearing that their presence
would bring an attack of nerves
to the mule, he shooed them off,
but they promptly returned and
disappeared in the animal’s right
ear.
Edgecross investigated and
found the bees had swarmed in
the lower part of the ear and had
deposited a considerable amount
of honey in a comb. The swarm
was dislodged, the honey cleaned
out, and it was found that the
interior of the ear was inflamed
from stings. Edgecross lost a
hive of bees a few weeks ago.
Fooled the “Road Hog.”
Automobile drivers who have
suffered from “road hogs” tell
me that those autoist who insist
in taking up more than their
amount of space and refuse to
allow others to pass them on nar
row roads, will, in the future, be
cared for, all through the thought
fulness of a member of the auto
mobile fraternity who has hit
upon a unique plan.
Returning from the Panama
Exposition he had with him sev
eral large tornedoes, such as chil
dren celebrate with on July 4.
En route, this man (Dr. A. L.
Marks) was crowded by an auto
mobile driver in frontof him who
wouldn’t let the physician’s car
pass.
Suddenly the doctor thought of
the torpedoes, and taking one,
threw it at the rear of the head
machine. It exploded with ter
rific noise. The driver of the car
immediately stopped and began
looking for the “blowout.”
Dr. Marks shot ahead, and, as
far as he knows, the'other driver
is still hunting for the cause of
the explosion. —Boston Post.
Had No Objection.
“Before we take you on the
jury, Mr. Smith, we must ask
whether you have formed any
opinion of the prisoner’s guilt or
innocence.”
“No,” said Smith grimly, ac
cording to London Opinion. ‘No,
I ain’t formed no opinion.”
“And, Mr. Smith, have you,
or have you not, any conscien
| tious objections to capital punish
i ment?”
j “No,” said Smith more grirn
i ly, “not in this case.”

Eating to Live.
A certain Columbus, Ohio,
newspaper man is proud of the
precocity of his five-year-old
niece, says the Dispatch. As
typical of her mental agility as
well as her capacity for humor,
he tells the following:
“We were visiting recently at
my brother’s home. When din
ner was called the child politely
but firmly announced that she
had no idea of dining and would
remain away from the table.
“ ‘Why, Mildred, you must eat
three full meals a day if you are
ever to grow up and be a lady,’
remarked my wife, who happens
to be a woman of substantial
proportions.
“Carefully surveying her gra
tuitous adviser, the little miss
said: ‘Auntie, do you eat four
meals a day?”
Serving Two Masters.
A. B. Storms, former president
of the State College, Ames, lowa,
in his lecture “Are We Sane or
Insane?” tells the following inci
dent in his discussion of the mad
rush of American youth to get
positions—to get at something
that will bring them money, says
Case and Comment.
“My sister, who served as a
missionary, once asked a raw
Norwegian girl if she didn’t want
to serve the Lord, ‘Nope,’ said
the girl, ,Aye got a yob.’ ”
All in the Arrangement.
A man w'as brought before a
police court charged with abusing
his team and using loud and pro
fane language on the street, says
the Literary Digest. One of the
witnesses was a pious old darkey,
who was submited to a short
cross-examination.
“Did the defendant use im
proper language?” asked the
lawyer.
“Well, he talk mighty loud,
suh.”
“Did he indulge in profanity?”
The witness seemed puzzled.
The lawyer put the question in
an another form.
“What I mean, Uncle Aus, is
did he use words that would
be proper for your minister to
use in a sermon?”
“Oh, yes, suh, yes, suh, re
plied the old man with a grin
that revealed the full width of
his immense mouth; “but dey’d
have to be ’ranged diffrunt.”
