William Travers Jerome, l)is
trict Attorney of New York, will
he the guest of honor and deliver
the annual address at the conven
tion of the Georgia Mar Associa
tton, which will he held July iH,
19 and 2o, at Warm Springs.
Uncle Joe 11 a 11 announces with
characteristic joehillhall emphasis
that he cannot support any of the
present candidates lor governor
It is suspected in some quarters
that Uncle Joe’s personal prefer
enccs in this connection would
lead him to give hearty support to
a certain I .egislator from the conn
ty ol Mibb, il that gentium.01 could
be induced to olfei as a guherna
torial candidate.
Alter today only 46 days of tin
g ibernatorial campaign are ahead
ol us. Thu opposition to llokc
Smith realizes that the primary is
drawing near, that all schemes to
defeat lorn thus tar planned have
proven failures, and that it is time
to begin the last desperate assault
on the candidate ol the people and
the people behind him. In proof
of this last mentioned tact, witness
the unlimbering of anti-Smith
guns all along the line and the
marshalling in battle array ol every
man who can be used against
Smith. Newspapers like the Alt
gusta Chronicle,that have assumed
u semblance ol neutrality for sev
eral months past, have trained
their mud butteries on I hike
Smith,,and all along the line he is
the target for volleys ol misrepre
sentation, personal abuse and rot
ten nonsense. All of which merely
indicates that Hoke Smith has the
opposition whipped and driven to
the last stages of desperation.

particular study of colds and bud bis
own theory about them, whleli we be
lieve Is pretty much the theory of to-

catching cold does not come from mere
cold, but from unequal temperature
over tbe body and from undistributed
moisture. To prove this he made a
number of observations on occasions
when I10 did nnd did not suffer. A few
of these follow:
By putting on a damp shirt on a dry
body—yes.
By putting on a dry shirt on n wet
body, though this wets the body ten
times more—no.
By sitting In a room where the floor
hah been newly washed—yes.
By going Into n river and staying
there an hour (no sheets so weti—no.
By wetting t#e feet only—yes.
By wetting all the clothes through

By sitting In a room against a crevice

for the manufacture of cyanide of po

Its base, dried animal matter of any

perheated vessels containing the pot

from the cooling, and other processes
brought the (tun 1 lemon colored crys

four drops will kill a large dog. A
chemist, putting a cyanide solution In
a gold lined dish In 18-l-t, discovered
that the gold was dissolved In the
liquid. This was the beginning of the
gold plating process by the use of cya

the poison came about In electroplat

South Hen Inland ('uitonii,
When a south sea Island mother
wishes to chastise her child she seldom
resorts to slapping, and slippers, of
course, she has none. Instead of using
tin' forms of punishment customary
among civilized mothers she pulls the
child's hair or bites some part of the
body, generally the fleshy part of the
arm. Iu wandering about the village
one sees many children having on their
bodies sears produced by wounds In
flicted by their mothers’ teeth. When
a mother wishes to caress her child
she deftly draws her thumb across Its
eyebrow or cheek or gently seizes its
cheek between her teeth. The rubbing
of noses is also a mark of affection
among the Klngsmill islanders, as It Is
among the Maoris of New Zealand.
