A FIXE RECORD FOR FOUR
MONTHS' WORE.
In addition to the regular work of his
department, there is imposed upon Com
missioner of Agriculture Price the duty
of enforcing the Pure Food law, and a
report of the operations of this branch
of the service for the four months end
ing Dec. 1, 1913, makes a line showing
for his administration. The following
summary of work accomplished during
the period named furnishes interesting
reading, and contains some startling
Tevelations ns well
Thirty-seven slaughter houses were
■examined by State Inspector Methvin,
only eight of which were found lit to
produce food for human consumption.
Six hundred and twelve meat markets
were inspected, and fewer (han fifty
were found up to the standard of rea
sonable cleanliness.
Seventy-seven hundred pounds of pu
trid meat, was condemned.
Five hundred nnd seventy-six dairies
were examined, only Bix of which were
passed as furnishing clean, disease-free
milk and cream to the public, Eigh
teen wore reported in fair condition.
The remainder, five hundred and fifty,
were branded as bad.
Two sausage-makers in Dalton, two
in Marietta and ten in Atlanta were
singled out by name in the State In
spector’s report, and their products
condemned.
Indeed, many other names in many
places are given in the report, so the
public may know who the dealers in
unclean and impure foods are. The
common notion is that the meat pro
ducts of the Western packers are above
suspicion. Not so. The meats of three
of these concerns in Atlanta, Savannah
and Americus were condemned as unlit
for food. Send to the Department of
Agriculture for a copy of the report
and read it.
The enforcement of the Pure Food
law frequently becomes nn unplcnsant
duty, but Commissioner Price has no
discretion in the matter. It is the law,
and he has shown no disposition to
shirk his duty. lie believes the people
should bo protected from impure foods
and dairy products, and that unscrupu
lous violators of the Pure Food law
should be punished. He is right.
IIETTER LET THE RULES STAND.
The probability of u deadlock in the
State Convention, owing to the number
of candidates in the Held for Governor
and for the short Senatorial term, may
decide Chairman Win. J. Harris to call
another meeting of the State Execu
tive Committee to consider the advisa
bility of changing the rules adopted by
the committee at its meeting the first
week in April. Discussing the matter,
Mr. Harris says: ’’It is my idea that
the people, and not the convention,
Hhould name the nominees for Gover
nor and other offices. It is possible
under the present rules that this may
he defeated, and in my judgement a
convention nomination for office would
prove u terrible blow to the county unit
plan."
Just how the committee can expect
to better the situation, except by abro
gating the county unit rule, we fail to see.
We cannot consistently have a blanket
primary for U. S. Senator and Gover
nor. and the county unit plan for other
officers to be nominated. True, a
second or "run-over" primary might
bo hold, but this would inlliet upon the
people the distractions of another cam
paign, which should be avoided if pos
sible. In our judgment, the committee
would make a mistake and create no
end of confusion by changing the pres
ent rules.
"While 1 have not issued my formal
announcement as yet, the statemqpt
has been printed often that 1 am a
candidate for re-election," said State
Treasurer Speer on Monday last, talk
ing to newspaper men. "1 do not
know whether anyone is trying to
spread a report that I would not be u
candidate, but if they are it is unauthor
ized. I am a candidate, and will go be
fore the people on my plain record of
public service. In a short time l will
issue my formal announcement." Mr.
Speer need not worry. Helms admin
istered his office with honesty and abil
ity, and these are desirable qualifica
tions for the office which he has tilled
so acceptably during the past three
years. The people know that the
State's strong-box could not be in
safer bands, and thev will do the rest.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Greensboro Journal: "It strikes us
that Hoke and Jack are trying to trade
ub olT. ”
Moultrie Observer: "If Little Joe
Brown decides to get into the game
this year, he will liven up things. He is
a wheolhorse."
Commerce Ncwr: "One little card
from Little Joe Brown would act like a
stick of dynamite pitched under the
political peace pie. It would blow it
into Smith-ereens."
Athens Banner: "Senator Hoke Smith
seems to have the track all to himself,
while there is a multiplicity of candi
dates for the unexplred term of Sen
ator Bacon, with the chance that
others may enter."
Savannah News: "The better opinion
is that Gov. Brown will not he a Sena
torial candidate —will not emerge from
his retirement—but he may harbor an
ambition to sit in the Senate before
forever abandoning the political arena."
Albany Herald: "Two weeks ago the
paramount question with politicians and
prospective candidates was, ‘What is
Gov. Slaton going to do?' It is changed
now to ‘What is "Little Joe” Brown
going to do?' Meantime ‘Little Joe’ says
nothing more than that it is too early
to he saying what one is going to do."
Meriwether Vindicator: "Hon. B. F.
McLaughlin announces this week for
the State Senate. This is Meriwether’s
time to furnish the Senator. Mr. Mc
Laughlin has spent his entire life in
this county. He is the Nestor of the
Greenville bar and one of the ablest
lawyers in the State. He served two
terms in the Legislature and made a
splendid record as a lawmaker. He
fought extravagant appropriations and
stood for an economical administration
of State affairs. He would make this
district an able and faithful Senator.”
Senoia Enterprise-Gazette: "Hon. A.
O. Blalock threatens to enter the Gov
ernor’s race on the specific platform—
the repeal of the tax equalization law.
Mr. Blalock iH a mighty good man, but
we believe the repeal of this law would
be a serious mistake. The law of
course is not perfect, but the tax
dodger must be looked after.. Perhaps
a better plan would be to require the
Tax Receiver s seal on all notes or
other taxable papers to make them
legal. This would bring out a lot of
papers which have never had any tax
paid on them, at the same time doing
away with with so many officeholders.
Don't repeal the law, except by substi
tuting a stronger one."
Macon Telegraph: "We do not know
how much truth there is in the report
that some of the politicians are trying
to bring about a deadlock in the State
Convention. There is probably some
truth in it. F)ot many men would ob
ject to being the ’dark horse’ candidate
to reach the Governor’s chair. Most
of the desire for a deadlock comes from
the class of politicians wh-i like to see
the ‘game played. ’ They like politics as
they do baseball, because it furnishes
excitement and diversion. The outlook
now is that there will not be less than
three candidates in the race, and maybe
more. Dr. L. G. Hardman, J. Ii.
Anderson and Judge Nat Harris have
already announced. Judge W. E.
Thomas and W. J. Harris, the Census
Director, are both considering the mat
ter, while Speaker Burwell and several
others are mentioned. All of these
men would carry some counties, but it
is doubtful if any of them would get
enough votes to give him the nomina
tion. In the event that none of them
should receive enough votes to give him
the nomination the State Convention
would have to name the candidate, and
there is a possibility that the next
Governor would be a man whose name
bus not yet been mentioned in con
nection with the office. The situation
furnishes interesting possibilities.”
Augusta Chronicle: "The question is
being agitated as to whether, in the
event Gov. Slaton should resign the
office of Governor and he succeeded by
President of the Senate J. Randolph
Anderson, following the primary, Mr.
Anderson can continue to act as Gover
nor aft* r Oct. 7, the date upon which a
new General Assembly is elected. It is
stated that lending attorneys of the
State differ on this question. Some
take the position that Mr. Anderson’s
commission as President of the Senate
uies with tile old Legislature, while
others contend that the law applying to
the succession to the Governorship re
fers to the individual holding the office
of President of the Senate at the time
the vacancy in the Governorship oc-
cure, and that such an individual con
tinues President of the Senate and act
ing Governor until the new Gen
eral Assembly meets and elects a new
President of the Senate. The question
is an interesting one, and has before
been agitated when efforts were made
to provide for the office of Lieutenant-
Governor. It is anticipated that Gov.
Slaton, if elected to the Senate, would
resign some time in September. The
Governor himself says that he has
given careful attention to the question
of succession to the office and obtained
! the opinion of many prominent lawyers
i that the law contemplates that the
| President of the Senate shall remain
I acting Governor even though a new
■ General Assembly is elected while he is
so acting. The Governor declared that
there would be no necessity for calling
1 an extra session of the Legislature,
hut that, should he resign before Oct.
: 7. Mr. Anderson would, by virtue of bis
■ office, become acting Governor until
the new Governor-elect qualified at the
regular session of the General Assembly
in June, 1915. ”

Ras Glass Dies By Own Hand.
Atlanta Constitution, (Wednesday.)
H. E. Glass, a prominent business
man of Sharpsburg, Ga,, shot himself
through the heart at the WinecnfT Ho
tel Tuesday between 1 and 2 o’clock, in
his bed-room. A maid knocked at his
door, and, failing to receive a response,
opened the door and found him lying
across his bed in a pool of blood. He
was dressed in his underclothes, having
arranged in careful order his outer gar
ments, which were hung on chairs in
the room. He was last seen in the ho
tel lobby about 1 o’clock.
In the dead man’s undershirt sleeve
was found a death note. It read in part
as follows:
"God have mercy on my soul. 1 am
going to join my dear wife in heaven. I
cannot bear this any longer. I hope,my
friends will forgive me for doing this.
Give my love to my friends.”
Another letter was found in Glass’
coat which was not dated. The letter
was signed by his wife. It was written
upon the stationery of a hotel at Moul
trie, Ga. Its contents indicated that
some time in the past his wife had ta
ken her life, and this letter appeared to
he the death note she had left for her
husband. It told him how much she
loved him, and asked his forgiveness.
Glass is believed to have taken his life
after brooding over the deed of his
wife. The letter was worn, showing
that it had been carried around in the
man’s pockets.
Another note written by Glass re
quested that his brother, S. W. Glass,
at Sharpsburg, Ga., be notified.
The body was removed to r.reenberg
& Bond’s undertaking establishment,
where an inquest was held last night
by Coroner Donehoo, resulting in a ver
dict of suicide.
The man’s relatives in Sharpsburg
have been notified, and are on the way
to Atlanta to carry the body back home.
Glass registered at the hotel April 23.
A man never worries seriously about
the rules of longevity until he is sixty
years old.
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
That Contain Mercury,
uh mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell
and completely derange the whole system when
entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except on prescrip
tions from reputable physicians, as the damage
they will do is tenfold to the good you can possi
bly derive from them. Hall’s Catnrrh Cure, man

tains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood anti mucous surfaces of
the system. In buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure he
