Atlanta, Ga., June 19th.—Georgia
had the biggest voice in the National
Democratic Convention, which met at
St. Louis yesterday. It did not come
from any one delegate or the combined
delegation from Georgia; in fact, it
was stronger than several delegations.
“The Man With the Voice" was Dev
ereaux F. McClatchey, of Atlanta, who
served as reading clerk.
This long-legged leather-luuged
brass-throatf I Georgian, as is known,
has been a star performer in the Geor
gia legislature for several years. F
is now clerk of the Georgia State Sen
ate. He is vouched for by all who
have heard him in action as the pos¬
sessor of the strongest voice east of the
Rocky Mountains.
There is said to be a fellow who
lives the life of a recluse some where
in Yellowstone Park who amuses him
self every morning and evening by go
ing out in the valley in front of his
cabin and shouting so loud that he
shakes off the tops of a few crags and
thereby launches a landslide.
But the Rock Mountain wonder has
never strayed away from his native
haunts, and consequently is not a com¬
petitor of the Georgia fog horn who
was selected to keep the Democratic
delegates informed as to what trans¬
pired on the St. Louis rostrum.
Devereux Me Clatchey can read all
day and finish stronger than he was ai
the start, and then if he’s given a real
juicy steak and a brief rest spell he
can read for the balance of the evening,
and still get stronger and stronger.
His voice is like a tug boat whistle.
It starts deep and boomish and th
further it gets the lounder tnd clearei
it booms, so that no person, no mat¬
ter how large the convention hall and
no matter how remote the person’s
seat from the rostrum, can fail to
catch every syllable—unless he hap¬
pens to be stone dead.
Atlanta, Ga., June 19th.—Hot weath¬
er in Atdanta has driven the people
in the poor districts of the city to
sleep on cots and pallets outdoors un¬
der the stars, which is the only place
they can rest in comrort.
New York’s outdoor sleepers are
famous the world over, in certain quar¬
ters the people sleeping on the side¬
walks by the hundred, while sightseers
step on their toes in their rounds
through the slums.
Atlanta’s slum dwellers haven’t quid
reached the point where they sleep on
the sidewalks, but the negroes along
Decatur street and oth^r famous Dark
town thoroughfares have a scheme
that’s just as cool, if n ,t a little cooler
They go into the alleys and court
yards in the rear of the tenements
where they live, and there they stretch
themselves upon the naked ground,
fold their coats and put underneath
their heads for pillows. The man of
comfortable circumstances who goes to
bed on a sleeping porch is not one whit
more cool and comfortable.
Atlanta, Ga., —June 19th.—Rigid en¬
forcement of the federal anti-narco¬
tic and anti-opium laws has driven
Atlanta Chinese to the use of enor¬
mous quantities of Chinese tobacco,
which they smoke in long-stemmed
pipes that are very similar to the pipes
of opium.
Any night in the Chinese quarter,
of which there is a large one peopled
by laundrymen and restaurant keepers,
the celestials may be found in front
of hteir heathen images, where tb»y
sit and smoke for hours, conversing
in their strange outlandish tongue.
A young Atlanta newspaper man on
a recent visit to the Chinese rendez¬
vous had courage to try one pipe of
the Chinese tobacco, and stayed in bed
for a week.
Misses Mabel and Maude Levy, of
Atlanta, are visiting their cousin, Miss
Dorothy Knight

PHOSLIME
FOR
VEGETABLES
“Used your PHOSLIME alone on corn past season, well
pleased with the results, in keeping the corn green, growing
tall, earing well. Ears were large, full developed, hanging
heavy on stalk, corn by the side of it, not having any fertilizer,
very inferior, failed to mature in the same proportions. Its use
on all kinds of vegetables gave good satisfaction especially on
sweet and Irish potatoes."
