follow the action taken by the Harris con

a* wa* ever pulled off in Georgia, win
ning over J. B. Hardin by but three
votes. And, Incidentally, Fulton county
has gained 100 acres of land, 50 homes
and about 300 population.
The town turned out Saturday to
vote and when the boxes were opened
It was found that Mr. Walker had 114
votes to Mr. Hardin’s 111. The vote
represented nearly every qualified man
In College Park.
Every'councilman but one who ran
on the Walker ticket was elected. They
are: W. yJ. Harris, A. J. Jones. H. H.
Cantp, D. G. Bettis and J. R. Farwell.
V. C. Afgson, who was on the Hardin
tlckait. was the sixth councilman
elected.
The proposition to transfer that part
of College Park now lying In Clayton
county to Fulton county was passed
with but one opposing vote out of 87.
This will- give Fulton county about 100
acres of land, with 50 homes and a
population of about 300 persons.
Mayor Walker, who succeeds Mayor
Curtis, has been one of the leading fac
tors In building up College Park from a
village of a few hundred to a suburban
town of about 2,000 population. He Is
manager of the College Park Llrne
Company and also does a general real

HIDDEN IN BOX
Found Buried Under the
Branches of Trees Near
River Line.
Attracted to a spot in the rear of
s residence by the action of his
chickens Sunday afternoon, A.
Elliott, who lives on the river car line
three or four miles from the city, was
horrified to find the dead body of an
Infunt placed In a small box and cov
ered over with branches broken from
neighboring trees.
After making the discovery of the
Infant Mr. Elliott notified Officer Dun
bar, of the county police, and the body
was held for the coroner's Inquest
Monday afternoon.
The Infant was found In a grove In
the rear of Mr. Elliott’s residence.
Is white, and apparently about six
months old. There were no evidences
of foul play and It Is supposed that the
child died and was left In the deserted
spot In an effort to conceal Its Identity.
There is no easier way to be sure
you are correctly dressed than to
be sure you have on our clothes
And these splendid Rogers, Peet & Co. and
Hart, Schaffner & Marx garments are not only
correct in style, but worthy in quality and perfect
in fit.
Made of all-wool fabrics by best tailors, they
are in a class by themselves--away above usual
kinds of ready-for-wear clothing and equal to the
most expensive products of high-class custom
tailors.
Yet our prices are quite moderate. Fifteen dol
lars buys a good all-wool suit or overcoat—hand-
tailored, stylish, perfect fitting—and from that fig
ure, prices go up by easy steps to $50.
Come in and try on some of these more-than-
good clothes.

N.Y.tS FORCHANLER
‘There Won't Be Contest,'
Says State Chairman
Conners.
Certain circumstances connected with
the death Sunday morning of Robert
Flynn, It years of age, of 14 Terry
street, an employee of the Atlanta Mill
Ing Company, which were then regard
ed as auspicious, resulted In a thor
ough Investigation Monday morning
by Coroner Thompson.
The coroner found witnesses, how
ever, whoae atatementa precluded the
Idea of foul play, and It was decided
that an infiueat was unnecessary. The
young man was Injured late Saturday
afternoon In the boiler room at the mill
and was removed to the Grady Hos
pital, where he died early Sunday
morning.
Eye wltneaae* were found by Coroner
Thompson who said young Flynn waa
struck on the back of the head by a
piece of machinery while engaged at
bis duties In the boiler room. Certain
cuts In the young man's coat, which
appeared aa though made with a knife,
caused his family to think that poaal-
bly rout play had been done. This Idea
was banished, however, when the eye
witnesses were Interrogated.
The funeral arrangements have not
been announced.
The funeral services will be held from
the Church of the Immaculate Con
ception at t o’clock Tuesday morning.
The place of Interment will be
nounced later.
Residence On Fire,
Fire Monday morning burned the
roof off of the residence of Alexander
Hamilton, a negro contractor, at 125
Hilliard street.- The blaze was caused
by a defective flue. Moat all of the
furnishings were gotten out of the
house. A few shingles on the adjoin
Ing houses were burned, but the dam
age was Inconsiderable.

her Improvement has been so rapid that
her health Is almost entirely restored.
To Issue New Bonds.
Application was filed with the rail
road commission Monday by the Geor
gia railroad to Issue one million dollars
worth of refunding bonds. As this Is
simply the Issue of one set of bonds to
absorb others matured, no new debt Is

New York. Oct. 2$:—"The New York
state delegation to the Democratic na
tional convention will be unanimous for
Lieutenant Governor Lewis Ktuyv. snnt

paign fot* Nsw York's,delegation, thla
statement waa- made by William J.
Conners, chairman of the Democratla
state committee. It I* the first author
itative announcement of the plan now
already far advanced to scotch the
Bryan movement In the East. Without
New York's delegation those opposed
to Mr. Bryan believe that his nomina
tion will he Impossible, and that tho
Southern states will not consider him.
"1 have (feen In every county In the
state," continued Chairman Conners,
'and I find all the leaders for Mr.
Chanler. Four counties have declared
for him—Putnam, Washington, Dutch
ess and Columbia. The other counties
will fall In line juat as soon aa they,
hold meetings."
"What about Bryan? He Is coming
this week to start his campaign In the
slate?" was suggested.
“I don't care if he Is," waa the reply.
"All the Bryans between here and
China can not prevent Chanler from
getting the New York delegation. All
the leaders have taken a liking to him.
He's made a mighty fine Impression on
every one by hla record at Albany. He
la a square young man, an able young
man and the sort of man we want."

Caffeine—in coffee—is such
a direct poison to the nerve
centers of many highly organ-
ized people that it produces
all sorts of disorders, from
stomach and bowel troubles,
palpitation of the heart, kid.
ney affections, etc., up to
more intricate nervous
troubles, such as paralysis.
The way to keep well is to
leave off coffee and use Post,
urn, which is a direct rebuild
er of the nerve centers.
‘‘There's a Reason.” Sure
and well defined improvement
in health will follow this
course, as can easily be
proven by any person who
values health enough to make
