Ga.. Oct. 3—It Is ex pected that Governor Hoke Smith will, within the next week, name the hoard of control which will have charge of the State tuberculosis sanitarium pro vided for by the recent Legislature. An appropriation of 125.000 Is non ailable for the work, which Is look ‘ Record shows that the total number of spindles planned for is 48.000 and of looms 905. Indicating an expenditure of about 31,150.000. The announce ments suggest an Improvement ovei the earlier part of the year and bring out the fact that with the exception of one plant, all the proposed additions to spindles are for established mills. of 90,000 spindles In the Southern mills, 21,900 In the first quarter of the year, 23.000 in the second and" 46.000 In the third. The Improvement suggested In these figures Is also reflected In the fact that mnny mills In tfre Piedmont section of the South have taken ad vantage of the dull season and short time to put their plants In the best condition and that in many cases the mills are running now on better time than was the case a few months ago. It being estimated that on a general average they are not operating more than 25 per cent short time. Bearing upon the situation 1* spe cial correspondence In the Manufac turers* Record from Chicago, as fol 'lows: “Unlike last year, and to a degree seldom approached, crops have ma tured early and wheat and corn throughout the grain belt are not only made, but the quality is exceptionally good. While the yield will generally be hardly above that of last year, and Is described in general as. an average crop as to quantity, weather condi tions throughout the grain belt gen erally have been extremely favorable for the maturing and harvesting cf both wheat and corn. This has re sulted In earlv shipments, so that al ready a number of the railroads re port an uncommonly early movement of grain, and throughout the grain belt generally the rule holds, good of an average yield, excellent quality and an early marketing of the products. In the case of some of the grain-shipping railroads, officials with whom I have talked are almost jubilant over the situation. With an average yield and with an exceptionally good quality, and with the early marketing of wheat and corn, It is pointed out that such highly satisfactory conditions among the formers must Inevitably . suit in the circulation of vast sums of money at an earlier period In the year than usual, with a consequent stfmu ulation of business In every direction.' MAD DOG DITES OFF LIP OF MERCHANT ELBERTON. Ga., Oct. 3.—Great ex citement prevailed in Elberton last night when about 8 o’clock & dog sup posed to bg mad Jumped upon a trav eling man and bit his arm through his sleeve. Later the same dog jumped Into the face of Mr. M. Berman, a highly respected merchant of Elberto^ and completely tore away hi* under Up. A posse of men with guns and pistols searched for the dog all night, -but up to the present have not succeeded in finding It and no one to whom It be long*. The traveling man, Mr. Earle B. Besley, who represents a Chattanooga firm selling metal roofing, was walking along Tusten street In company with Mr. Brewer Swearen*np. of this place, when the dog suddenly and without warning, snrang out of the dark and fastened Its teeth In his arm. Ho suc ceeded In shaking It off and kicked at It when the dog disappeared In the night before either of the men could get a good look at It. Mr. Besley took the early morning train for Atlanta. The next know*! of the dog he had attacked M. Berman, literally biting out the larger portion of his under Up State government. While the fund Is hardly more than will be needed to erect suitable buildings, private means AuffliMont to insure the operation of the sanitarium aj-e said to be able.

It Is not Improbable that the sani tarium will be established at Atlanta or MllledgevlIIe. more probably the lat ter place. MllledgevlIIe Is lookod upon as one of the best locations that could be selected. The climate is good, and the altitude fair though not as great .as might be desired. The big ad vantage to be derived In locating the Institution Is the economy that may be practiced in erecting *pd caring for the building*. If such is done con vict Ipbor may be used for that purpose to as great an extent as possible. The use of such labor would reduce the cost more than half, and would Insure the establishment of better buildings, at the same time leaving an appre ciable portion of the original appro priation to be used for extension or maintenance. Controlled by Board of 21. The board which Is to have control will be composed of twenty-one mem bers. two from each Congressional dis trict. They are all to be named by the governor and will select their own officers. One-half of the number, or one from each district, must be a prac ticing physician. The board will have complete contfol of the appropriation of $25,000, and will locate the Inst! tutlon, erect the buildings and Inau gurate Its operation. The sanitarium is planned, not *< much to meet a dire need, but to form the nucleus of a systematic war on “White PIngue" In this State. It bo organized on .the latest scientific plans, with rooms half exposed to the elements and with tents for advanced cases. The latest methods of treating consumption will bo followed. In or der to make of the place one of en lightenment both to the professional and lay public. It is also the purpose of those Inter ested in the sanitarium to develop the idea to the extent of circulating litera ture and organizing educational plans of campaign against the disease, by teaching people how to prevent and how to treat tuberculosis. Tn ms*ny Northern States, lecturers, with vari ous kinds of Illustrating appliances are sent through the country, pointing out the popular errors that have con tributed much toward* the develop ment and extension of the complaint.

A mounted police tried to track tlje dog. hut was unsuccessful, and a num ber of men are still searching for It. There Is no positive proof that the dog mad. but all the evidence points that way. Evolution of the Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis A word about the Fall and Winter Models in Men’s Fine Clothes W E are now showing the new Kuppenheimer styles for men; styles of authority every one, direct from The House of Kuppenheimer. They are unusual models in the way clothes should l be unusual—unusually good. ,o..ji They are not extreme—and they are not sombre. - There is correct style-certainty to each model, which should be mighty satisfying to the man who respects his appearance, and who realizes that an error in clothes—like an error in conduct—reflects directly against the individual. They are the sort of clothes that are made for men who have good judgment when it comes to quality, and good taste when it comes to selecting patterns, shades and fabrics. There are enough of such men in this city to have en- ablejTus to build up a splendid business on this line of goods; a jrade sustained, mind you, not by the common demand, but 'by the.uncommon demand of those who know best and reason most clearly, who know what they want, who know values and insist upon getting them. We know you’ll be interested in seeing the new models. Star Clothing Company DAVE WACHTEL the more bracing climate* of tho Riviera, to Egypt to ascend tho Nllo, and nbove all on the voyage*.
