WILL NOMINATE HIM
Atlanta. The Fifth District Con-
gressional convention will mp?t in tho
senate chamber at noon aSturday for
he purpose of nominating William D !
Upshaw f(jr congress. The fact that
Mr. Upshaw received twelve out of I
the siyteen county unit votes in the i
distinct will remove all possibility of
contest.
Tt will be a novel feature of the oc
casion that the congressman elect will
be, put in nomination by his pastor,
Dr. C. A. Ridley, of the Central Bap
tist church. Dr. Ridley was .Mr. Up
shaw’s collegemate at Mercer univer
sity. As is customary on such oc
casions there will be one or two sec
onding speeches from each county
which cast its vote for the successful
candidate—Fulton, Campbell and De-
Kalb.
The delegates will hold a prelimin
ary meeting at Mr. Upshaw’s office,
305 Austell building, at 10:30 o’clock,
and will be entertained at luncheon
after the convention in the senate
chamber by the congressman-elect.

languid. To put Iron Into your blood,

J. E. Clifton, of R. F. D. 3, Lyons,
Ga., writes: “Last summer I had ty
phoid fever and had hemorrhages of
the bowels and my health was wretch
ed. I seemed to be unable to get my
strength bark. I had no appetite, I
had no energy, I didn’t think I was
ever going to get well. My knee3 were
weak, my flesh felt clammy, I was in
a pretty bad condition. I heard of
Ziron and what a good tonic cind
strengthener it was, and I sent for
at once. It helped me. I began, to
improve and soon felt much better and
stronger.”

Austrians Having Attacked His Quar
ters, He Drops Bombs on Their
Naval Arsenal.
By WARD PRICE.
Italian Headquarters at the Front.
—MaJ. Gabriele d'Annunzio, Italy’s
poet-airman, who led the raid on
Vienna, lias carried out an adven
turous personal reprisal for an Aus
trian night uir raid during which one
of the enemy machines dropped a
bomb literally within yurds of his
sleeping quarters. The bomb did not
explode; but Its impact knocked over
and broke u glass from which d’Att
nunzlo hud drunk an hour before. The
soldier-poet gnyly started off in the
afternoon with ills pilot in a new type
of a fust, weight-carrying laud ma
chine, flew about one hundred miles
straight across the Adriatic sen to
Pola, tlie Austrian naval base, dropped
14 bombs on the arsenal and re
turned safely to bis uerodrotne.
1 was waiting there when he ar
rived antld a rouud of cheers from
his squadron.
“There was a heavy barrage fire,”
he told us, “and once I thought our
trail had been struck. But not a
single ope of the Austrian chnser ma
chines got up after us. The Austrians
were very keen to get me, but they
missed a good chance this afternoon.”
D'Annunzio will wear henceforth in
his flights an ivory-hllted dagger.
This weapon is tlie distinctive mark
of the Italian storm troops, and all
the eight airmen who took part in
the raid on Vienna have been named
by their comrades “The Storm Troops
of tho Air."
