STAGE BEING SET FOR SOME
REAL PYROTECHNICS AT
MACON WEDNESDAY.
ATLAN T A—Considerable com
ment and interest has been aroused in
political circles by reports coming into
the state capitol to the effect that in
several counties carried by Governor
Thomas W. Hardwick in the recent
primary friends of Clifford Walker,
the successful gubernatorial candidate,
are demanding that all delegates to the
state convention in Macon on October
4th shall be chosen from among the
friends of Mr. Walker.
Some Walker leaders contend th:nt‘
2 3 AR A S TCRERRER
under the rule adopted several years
ago by the state democratic executive
committee the successful candidate
for governor is entitled to name the
state convention delegates from all
counties regardless of whether they
were carried by him or by his oppo
nent.
The Hardwick leaders, on the oth
er hand, call attention to section 9 of
the rules promulgated by the state
democratic executive committee for
governing the recent state primary and
the selection of delegates, which says
delegates to the convention shall be
chosen from among the friends of the
candidate for governor who carried
the county. They also insist that un
der the Neill primary law, which con
stitutes the basis of the present pri
mary system, each candidate shall
name the convention delegates from
such counties as are carried by him.
This, of course, gives the successful
candidate the majority of delegates in
the convention and assures his formal
nomination by the convention, and at
the same time preserves the rights of
the minority.
Reports have also been received at
the capitol that in many of the coun
ties carried by Mr. Walker the coun
ty executive committees have been
notified by Mr. Walker to name
friends of Senator Thomas E. Wat
son as delegates to the state contion.
Fight Brewing Over Pension Post.
The race for pension commission
has also become a big issue facing the
convention.
It is currently reported and general
ly believed that the convention will be
asked to place the name of Major C.
E. McGregor, of Warrenton, upon the
regular ticket as the democratic nom
inee for pension commissioner in the
November election. Major McGregor
is a life-long personal and political
{riend of Senator Watson and was very
active in the campaign of Clifford
Walker for governor. As Walker men
will dominate the convention there is
no doubt of Major McGregor’s receiv
ing a majority vote if his name is
presented.
Committee Ruling.
Yet the democratic state executive
committee has ruled that the people
should be permitted to make their
own nomination for pension commis
sioner. J. W. Lindsey, late pension
commissioner, died after his name had
been placed upon the ballot ‘for the
primary, September 13, and the com- |
mittee decided to let all candidates for
the position run in the regular No
vember election. The rules of the par
ty make a provision for such proced
dure.
Governor H:.-}rdyvick appointéd John
W. Clarke, of Augusta, as pension
commissioner to fill the unexpired
term, and Colonel Clarke has announc
ed that he will be a candidate for the
position in the November election.
Other Candidates.
Captain W. H. H. Phelps, of At
lanta, also has announced that he will
be a candidate in the November elec
tion, despite any action of the Macon
convention, and Jg#ige Butt, of Buena
Vista, and Judge Ward, of Douglas,
are also candidates.
T. E. Massengale, former keeper of
the state capitol and grounds, is a
probable candidate for the post.
It is reported that any act of the
convention seeking to name the party
candidate for the position without a
vote of the people will result in sev
eral candidates running in the general
election.
In the meantime the counties car
ried by Walker are sending in their
lists of delegates while the counties
carried by Governor Hardwick are in
sisting upon the right to name Hard
wick men, so the stage is being set
for some real pyrotechnics.
SAVE SWEET POTATOES BY 1
DIPPING IN LIME WATERi
Said to Be Sure Method to Prevent
Them From Rotting. |
Readers of The News who grow
sweet potatoes might try this recipe |
for saving them, which is said to be
a sure method:
“The best and cheapest way to save
sweet potatoes is that, immediately ai
ter digging, dip them in lime water.
Fill a barrel or tub one-half to two
thirds full of lime water, not too
strong; take an old bucket and punch
it full of holes and put the potatoes in
the bucket and submerge them in this
solution of lime water. Let them stay
from one-half to two-thirds of a min
ute, or until they are thoroughly
dampened. Then take them out of the
bucket and put them where they will
dry. You will have good success with
potatoes, sweet or [lrish, treated in
this manner.”
DOCTOR SAYS REAL KISS
IS THE BEST GERM KILLER
Heat Generated by Pressing Lips Bet
ter Than Antiseptics, He Declares.
The impassioned kiss of a lover is
the best germ killer known, declares
Dr. Simon Louis Katzoff, of Bridge
port, Conn. Heat generated by press
ing lips is a better germ destroyer
than antiseptics, he says. o
“Among sweethearts kissing sends
forth etheral and hypnoti¢c waves so
that next to love litseli kissing be
comes the most potent agency for
courage, hope, health and longevity.”
HIGH COST OF WIVES.

Pension Harem Widows;
Tackles a Difficult Task
British Government’s Fund in India
Now Facing Bankruptcy.
" The English government is facing a
colonial problem which presents com
plications involving harems, silken
hangings and veiled beauties. How an
unimaginative government is going to
pension the widows of its faithful em
ployes when one employe may leave
enough widows to fill a girl’s boarding
school is the question which must be
solved.
The trouble began when the gov
ernment of India, under the direction
oi the colonial office in London, de
cided to staff the Indian civil service
mainly with natives. This meant sup
planting hundreds of the English em
ployes who had held jobs in the past.
When Englishmen did the work it was
fairly easy to administer the Indian
civil service family pension fund, for
the average Englishman was content
with one wife and a limited number of
children.
May Bankrupt Fund.
But now, when natives are receiving
the jobs, the various systems of po
lygamy recognized in India threaten
to bankrupt the pension fund. The
government is desperately seeking a
way out. When the pension rules were
drawn up the British government did
not consider, for example, that a Mo
hammedan may have at least four le
gal wivgs; that in many parts of In
dia temporary marriages may be ar
ranged, with a legality equal to the
‘more permanent unions, or that a
Hindu may have wives without end,
the only limit being his ability to sup
port them.,
Of course, this freedom in matrimo
nial acquisition is tempered by liberal
divorce facilities, but that further com
plicates the pension administration.
Divorce can be obtained at the hus
band’s discretion, but no one knows
whether the government must pension
all the divorced wives of some loyal
employe, as well as look after the new
harem when the shepherd of the flock
finally dies. Moreover, there is a pro
voking carelessness about the way
they register marriages in India, and
it is almost impossible to say who is
married to whom, or whose lawful
offspring the children are.
SNATCHED FROM DEATH
AFTER HEART STOPPED
Man Restored to Life, But Lived Only
Twenty-Four Hours.
A patient whose heart had stopped
beating was revived and lived for al
most 24 hours in a hospital in London,
England. Heart action was restored
by physicians.
The man had been operated on and
immediately following the operation
his heart stopped beating and breath
ing ceased. Usual means of restoring
respiration were unavailing, and physi
cians decided to try a new method.
~ An incision was made in the man’s
abdomen, and doctors massaged the
‘heart for about 20 minutes. At first
'the heart was limp, but it soon began
to quiver and finally began to beat
normally. The man mnever recovered
consciousness, however.
PRISONERS BREAK OUT

In his remarkable booklet on “The Money Value of F. Lo
prepared especially for the Board of Education of the va.{;ltl;;mon
Education, Prof. A. Caswell Ellis points out— ent of
“The necessity for education has increased ang
will continue to increase\ with the advance in the com.
plexity of the processes of civilization. Because of
the unparalleled progress in the arts and sciences dur.
ing the past fifty years the need for education has in
a generation multiplied many times.
“A century ago a transportation system was littl
morg than a wagon and a gver who knew the roade,
Now, in handling a problem of transportation, ex.
perts in traffic must first determine whether a road in
that place will be worth while, and what kind of road
will be most economical and efficient; experts in f.
nance must provide the tremendous sums needed to
build the road; civil engineers must lay it out; bridge
engineers plan the bridges; chemical engineers test
the materials; mills and factories with scores of chem
ical and physical experts make the rails, build the
locomotives and steel cars; and a host of traffic ex. °
perts, auditors, accountants, and specially trained
managers and clerks, telegraphers, engineers and con
ductors, and others, keep the trains moving with
safety and with profit.”
How about the boys of your acquaintance in Dawson—are they
heading for “wagon driver’s” jobs or are they fitting themselyeg for
