STARTED THE
RACE EARLY
CAMPAIGN FOR GOVERNOR
l tCtIKO CONSIDERABLE SURPRISE
AT THE CAPITOL.
Three Candidate! Practically In the
Field Less Than Two Month* Aft
er the Election—Political Tallt In
Atlanta Over the Sltuntlon—Boy
kin WrlKht'a Announcement Pre
cipitated the Campaign.
Atlanta, Nov. 26. —Considerable sur
prise is expressed at the Capitol over
ivhat is considered to be the unusually
early opening ot the campaign for
Governor. Not before within years has
there been three candidates actually in
the field, less than two months after
the election.
State officials have commented upon
one peculiar feature of the situation:
That two of the candidates. Col. J.
H Kstill and Hon. Clark Howell, whom
political comment has had in the race
t>r months past, should be put to the
necessity of making public announce
ment of their attitude because of the
appearance of anew Richmond in the
field, and his open statement that he
was out for the governorship. Had it
not been for the statement of Hon.
Boykin Wright, published in Macon
end cooled all over the state, to the
effect that he was in the race for Gov
ernor, It is not believed there would
have been any announcements for
tome months to come.
But the statement from Mr. Wright
seemed inevitable. He has for several
weeks past, been quietly informing his
friends of his intentions, and the won
<l, > is it was not published before.
State officials are doing very little
talking of a specific, nature about the
situation. They express themselves as
friendly to all the candidates, but they
believe there are others yet to be
heard from.
Political rumor gives a good reason
why Hon. J. Pope Brown is “not run
ning vet.” That is the way Mr. Brown
put it. Though stoutly denied, rumor
has it that Commissioner of Agricul
ture O. B. Stevens will be appointed
i allroad commissioner to succeed Mr.
Brown, and that in this event, Mr.
Brown may become a candidate for
Commissioner of Agriculture. Mr.
Brown's opposition to Gov. Terrell two
years ago, puts his reappointment on
the Railroad Commission out of the
question, and it is not believed that
col. Stevens would be averse to filling
this office.
There are a good many things to
transpire before the political situation
of 1906 shapes itself up, and the evolu
tion will be watched with no little in
rcrest.
DRUGGIST PUT*UP~
MORPHINE FOR QUININE.
One Took It and Died and Another
t ome Xear Dying.
Valdosta, Ga., Nov. 26.— Mrs. Mike
Mack, the aunt of little Rosie O’Neal,
■who died of accidental poisoning at
Naylor this week, will be discharged
from the Valdosta Sanitorium to-mor
tow, having about recovered from the
effects of the drug which she also took.
It is almost a miracle that the entire
family was not wiped out by the poi
son.
All of the members were suffering
from colds and Mrs. Mack sent to a
drug store after some quinine. The
clerk made a mistake and sent mor
phine. The bottle was wrapped in
brown paper, and Mrs. Mack took out
the cork and began to measure out
large doses for herself and the chil
dren. Rosie O’Neal, her niece, took
the first dose and died from the ef
fects. Mrs. Mack also took a large
dose and discovered the mistake before
giving it to any of the other children.
She was dangerously ill for a day or
so, and was hurried to the sanitorium
here, where she has 'been gradually
improving. The remains of the little
girl were sent to Knoxville for inter
ment.

the valve of charcoal.
Few People Know How TTsefnl It Is
In Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken Into
the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
yon take of It the better; It is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears andi im
proves the complexion. It whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one
form or another, but probably the
best charcoal and the most for the
money is In Stuart’s Charcoal Lozen
ges; they are composed of the finest
powdered Willow charcoal, and other
harmless antiseptics In tablet form or
rather in the form of large, pleasant
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much Improved condi
tion of the general health, better com
plexion. sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of It is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician In speaking of
tb'- benefits of charcoal, says: "j aij.
vise Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges to all
]••<<lent* suffering from gas in stomach
nod bowels, and to clear th eom-
I'i'-xion and purify the breath, mouth
nnd throat. I also believe the liver Is

ldent Comlskey of the Chicago Amer
ican League Club. In which he said
that he was perfectly willing to go to
Washington if the right price was
made.
The interview began with the cap
tain’s inviting the two presidents to
his place to practice on the bowling
alleys. Then he gradually led up to
the baseball proposition and declared
that he was in dead earnest.
President Johnson was out when An
son came in. but Secretary Fredericks
was dispatched by Mr. Comiskey to
find him and the discussion of the deal
was in progress in ten minute*. Anson
was informed that the president of
the league had no power to set a price
on the property or to decree that It
should be sold, but promised to take
the matter up with the other club own
ers at the earliest opportunity and get
instruction from them about it.
“X would not want to be in with any
body in the management of the club,”
Anson declared. “If I get it at all I
must have full control of it. Yes, I
am willing to get into baseball again.
It has a great deal of fascination for
me."
The offer was more or less of a sur
prise at the American League offices,
where Anson has not been a frequent
visitor lately. The former captain
would not say what he Intended to do
with his present business or what his
plans were if he should get control of
the club.
“All that can be decided later,” he
said.
President Johnson will probably take
the matter up at the meeting of the
American League early next month.
He said that the majority of the stock
of the Washington club was owned by
Washington people and that it would
be necessary to consult them first of
all before anything was done in the
matter.

FOR DUCKTOWN MINES
Wm the Decision of the Tennessee
Supreme Conrt.
Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 26.—The Ten
nessee Supreme Court to-day held as
constitutional an act of the Legisla
ture of 1891 relative to the non-lia
bility of certain corporations for dam
age alleged to accrue to vegetation
from smoke from copper roasting
ovens in the Ducktown, Tenn., copper
belt.
The decision is in favor of the sev
eral copper companies of Ducktown
and dissolves a perpetual injunction
granted by a lower court inhibiting
the operation of copper roasting beds
on the ground that they are nuisances.
The Supreme Court held they are
not nuisances and that damages can
not be recovered as a result of the
failure of vegetation to thrive there
abouts.

that it has succeeded so splendidly
as a stimulant'and stomachic that I
have discarded every other whiskey.
It is reliable, effective and agreeable
to the digestive organs, assisting di

varying results, but in yours there is
uniformity. Respectfully.

DUFFY’S PURE MALT WHISKEY
The fact that Duffy s Pure Malt Whiskey is one of the most effective

shape to digest anything, and at the same time drives out disease and
builds up the whole system.
Chemists, after most exhaustive tests, declare Duffv’s Pure Malt Whis
*e?: purest, most perfect tonic-stimulant known to medicine. It is
entirely free from fusel oil. Nothing so thoroughly eradicates nervous dis
eases impurities of the blood and imperfections of circulation. It quick

UNREGULATED ATHLETIC
SPORT A GRAVE DANGER.
From the New York World.
“Unregulated athletic sports In our
colleges and universities do more harm
than good," was the emphatic state
ment of Dr. George L. Meylan, pro
fessor or physical training at Colum
bia University, the day after the open
ing of the Physical Training School.
"Here is a precise parallel. You
may open a greht library, stocked with
the wisdom of the world, and say to
the uneducated masses, ’Now, go in
and educate yourselves.’ How many ot
them would achieve an education If
simply turned loose in a library? Here
and there some man would, but he
would be a rare exception. As it Is
with mental, so It is with physical
training. The gymnasium is to the
body what the library is to the mind.
You may open the finest gymnasium
in the world and tell the people to go
In and develop their muscles and their
strength, and it will do no good. Here
and there one may, unaided, become a
splendid athlete, as men have done
In the past without the use of gym
nasia; but the masses of the people
are more likely to Injure themselves
than to derive benefit from the work.”
“What do you think of games, such
as football, for Instance, as played
by college boys to-day?” asked the rep
resentative of the World.
"There are good and bad, good or
bad according to Circumstances. if
the coach be a man of Judgment and
a gentleman the result will be benefi
cial. but too often In our colleges and
universities he Is a man selected and
puid by the students themselves, whose
one object is to perfect them in the
fine points of the game; the time for
practice is short, and he tries to make
the most of it: consequently he over
does the work, overtaxes the boys’
strength, and does them much harm.
If he is a gentleman he instills Into
the lads the chivalrous spirit and
teaches them to play like gentlemen
and not like brutes. In which case the
result is good: but. unfortunately, not
all the coaches are gentlemen.
“There is in many large colleges a
constant warfare between the director
of physical training and the coach, the
one striving to regulate the students'
exercise for their permanent physical
benefit, the other doing his best to get
out of them all he can In the short
est space of time. This does harm to
the youths, who do not realize the lim
itations of their strength and, spurred
by blind esprit de corps, care only for
winning matches.”
“And what, in your opinion, is the
remedy?”
“It Is difficult to generalize, for the
conditions vary in the different col
leges. Regulation of athletic* and
sports by th faculty has been tried
and has in every Instance proved a
failure. The rules of the game can
not be altered Intelligently by men
who do not play it; they must be made
by the actual players. If the profes
sor or director of physical training be
vested wltl* sufficient authority over
all sports, and if he himself has had
the requisite training for the place,
the problem seems to be solved. And
It Is to train teachers of athletic* that
this new department of Columbia Uni
versity Is primarily designed.”

are comfortable and cheap. There is
one excellent hotel, but the shops are
confined to one long, narrow street.
If Vice Admiral Lord Charles Bcrcs
ford is going Into action, there will be
serious consequences in many direc
tions. The British fleet, of twenty
odd first-class cruisers and battleships
will bo able to close the Gate of Her
cules without the co-operation of the
guns in the fortifications. This will
be fortunate for British supremacy
and prestige, because the truth about
“the Rock of Gibraltar" would make a
laughing stock of British policy.
The great hill is of pumice stone —
the creation of a volcano at a remote
period. It is cut Into galleries and
casements; It is punctured with can
non. much as is a Westphalian ham
stuffed with cloves. The end of each
gallery is a bower of shrubbery; but
behind the oleanders and rhododen
drons are muzzles of Whitworth,
Krupp and Armstrong guns, hidden
like scorpions in a colored rug. There
are countless "secret chambers,” most
of which are shown to visitors. These
principally overlook the Neutral
Ground (a half mile broad) that sep
arate* Ssatn from this British posses
sion .
The finest view of Gibraltar Is had
from the top of the rock, and a permit
from the Governor Is easily obtained.
Indeed. If one has a little Influence, it
is possible to ride to that hlght In a
steel bssket thHt runs on a trolley,
slung hundreds of feet above the houses
of the town. That is the point of van
tage I'd speak for in the event of a
naval fight between the ships of Rus
sia and England. Memory shows me
the picture, something like this:
Looking westward, the (late of Her
cules stands wide ajar! Beyond is the
battle bay of Trafalgar, where Nelson
earned the monument 'round which
modern London revolves. Across the
strait is the prison pen of Ceuta, over
which will forever hover the wraiths of
Cuban martyrs who died therein for
the cause of freedom. To the north is
the stretch of land that makes a. pen
insula of this rock a “No Man’s Hand”
that is dangerous to cross. Beyond
"the dead line is the wretched little
town of Linea, as Bill of smugglers as
is a trust company’s office of widows.
Afar to the northeast are the peaks
of the Sierra Never?*, wearing the
white fez of eternal snow, and hid
ing from sight the dreVm town of
Grenada, with its fairy-llke Arabian
palace. At their feet. In a cove so deep
that it cannot be seen, is Malaga, the
seaport of Spanish grapeland. Stretch
ing eastward as far as Phonlela spreads
the dimpled blue sea of All Antiquity,
every sqiiAre mile of Its waters having
place in the chronology of man—keeper
of more secrets than all the oceans!
The Mediterranean is the greatest spec
tacle at Gibraltar! The rock la a
"bluff;” its bay is dangerous for ship-
ping. Its defenses must alwVtyz rest
with the fleet that rides in the road

storms.

Young Falk, the smallest baby in the
world, has again changed his address.
Now he is living In an Incubator, just
where no one knows hut his good friend
and physician. Dr. Jacob Glass, of No.
67 Second avenue, and he has promised
not to'tell.
Thursday morning the stork left the
tiny boy a.t No. 34 East Seventh street,
Mrs. Falk, the mother, intrusted him
to the care of Dr. Glass, who wrapped
him in cotton, put him into an inside
pocket of his coat and hurried to his
home. There the doctor filled hot
water bags and made a bed for the
youngster in a big clothes basket.
A sound more like the meow of a
kitten than a baby's cry came from the
middle of the basket. A World reporter
bending over the bed looked at first In
vain to find the Infant . Then there ap
peared a tiny white face about the size
of a dollar and a perfectly bald head.
The little fellow has a broad fore
head. As yet he has not deigned to
gaze upon the world. His nose, small
as It Is, is slightly aquiline, and never
was a baby born with a prettier, more
shapely little mouth.
When he first came he tipped the
scales at thirteen ounces.
The broken hearted mother, who at
first thought her baby would not live,
is happy over the encouraging reports
of the physicians. The baby measures
only eight Inches in length and is four
inches about the waist. His hand at
the longest part Is less than one Inch.
The fingers are perfectly formed even
to the finger nails.
"Never has there lived twelve hours
a baby so tiny as this one," said Dr.
Glass yesterday. “We’ll make a man
of him in time. He is perfect physi
cally and we are going to bring him
through. He came four months before
he was expected."
—All A-chinet, an Arab, was a wit
ness In the New York Court of Special
Sessions last week. He refused to taka
the Christian oath, saying he would
swear as becomes a member of his
race and faith. He was allowed to do
so, and this was the oath he took: "I
swear by the beard of the prophet, by
the kasha, by the black stone and by
my harem to tell the truth, all of tha
truth and only the truth.”
—Nothin’ Doin’.—Young Man—“ Say,
you—er—remember the engagement
ring I bought of you yesterday?” Jew
eler—" Yes. What's wrong with it?”
Young Man—" Nothing; but there’*
something wrong with the girl. Would
you mind taking It hack and giving
me collar buttons for It?”—Chicago
