Th« tmnllmot Increallug thtTSamlier of Supremo Court Judges tins s Good Mnjorll jr In Sixty FIT® Countlos of llio lists. The Autocrat of ifihs Breakfast Table Mourned by Thousands. Atlanta, Oct. 10.—(Special.)—'The questtbn at registration or no regis tration (for the congressional elections next montth Is now the subject of se rious attention In polttloal circles. Judge Emory Speer's ruling that reg istration was not necessary In congres sional elections, because the registra tion laws of the different counties are not uniform, has led to on application for the opinion of Judge Newman of the northern district oh the same sub ject.' Dr. Felton, who is the Populist can didate for congress In the .Seventh dis trict, has written- a latter to Judge Ne.vman requesting him to visa upon the necessity of registration. Judge .. Newman has, however, declined to give v an opinion, except a- case is regularly made in court, when it will receive h'is prompt detention. This Dr. Felton will probably do. Judge Speer's deolslon and the clr- cumslanctB under which It was ren- ~JI dered, are familiar. I; is of tho highest importance thht the question be settled one nay or 'the oarer. In order to lavold the unseating of the congressmen elected, should the next irouse be Republican. It there should be any ground at all- for tho un- sef.tlng of the Democrats, the Republi cans would quickly 'take hold of it. It would give them a dangerous op portunity if part of the Georgia dele gation should be elected under regis tration and others without registra tion. ' It 13 quite a knotty problem.

The reason there are so many women Invalids was because t h oy study too hard iu early youth, which weakens their nerves or impairs their li-Milth.
