BISHOP'S ELECTION
MAY BE DELAYED
Rumors Are That Strong
Rivalry Is On For
High Office.
AUGUSTA, G*„ Feb. 1&—Besides
t ie transaction of routine business, the
Episcopal conventloned passed a reso^
lytlon yesterday to hold the election
for bishop of the Georgia diocese at 10
q’elock this morning. Immediately after
. the reading of the minutes.
It Is understood a strong effort will
be made to postpone the ballot for some
hours. Not to put It more strongly, It
Is evident that there la a strong rivalry
between certain prominent clergymen
whose names are to be proposed, and It
Is perhaps for the reason that consider-
; able quiet Influence Is being exerted
.for “the favorite*" that the motion will
. b* made for postponement.
I < The salary of the bishop has been
I Used at 14,000.
’ '■ Instead of Rev. C. H. Strong, of Ha
f vannah. Dr. Charles R. Wright, of Al
i bony, acted us celebrant at the cele-
! bratlon of the holy communion. A

A largely attended missionary rally
was held last night at' 8: SO o’clock.
The principal feature of the conven

fixed by resolution for today. There

bllltles, but the most generally spuken
of are Dr.' Iteece, of Nashville; Dr.

tlon at 1* East Mltchell-sL
Since the city hoa cut off Ita month
contribution of |7(, the support of
e home has devolved entirely upon
the Gordon circle, which Is In turn de
pendent upon contributions received
from the people of Atlants. The horns
was organised In August, 1101, and
since that time It has cored constantly
for twelve or fifteen aged women who
have no other home. Their needs, while
few, are nevertheless Imperative.
According to Mrs. S. J. PurtelL 1
Ident of the Gordon circle, there Is
onfy one ton Of coal now at the home.
During the winter ten and a half ton*
have been used, and more will be need
ed before the winter ends. There Is at
present only $11.37 In the treasury,
with provisions to last about six weeks.
The circle has $S,000, which has been
contributed for the purpose of-erecting
a new home for the old ladles, but that
eum was given with the understanding
that It should be used for that purpose
alone, and for that reason It can not be
touched. The women who are cared
for by the home are all worthy and of
the,highest respectability, and there Is
no worthier object for charity,
Mrs. Purtell Is very desirous that the
Itlxene of Atlanta demonstrate their
Interest In the home In a substantial
manner and evince their appreciation
of the noble work being dons by assist
ing the Circle In properly maintaining
the Institution. Household supplies of
any character will be greatly appre
ciated and may be sent cither to the
home or to Mrs. Purtell. Mrs. F. M

Mrs. Cherles Niebuhr.

YETS WANT PENSION
PAID ANNUALLY
No law placed on the statute books
lias ever proven more unpopular, per
haps, than that changing pensions from
annual to quarterly payments.
From Confederate veterans all over
the state there has come strenuous ob
jection to the change, and It Is more
than prybable that an effort will be
made to restore payment* to the old
basis at the coming session of th* gen<
era! assembly. *
Th* first quarterly payment will be
made now In a short time. It Is due
March 1, but arrangements have been
made to pay It ahead of time. Vet
erans say that when the 380 they! re
ceive annually (thnt I* the amount the
great majority receive) I* spilt up Into
four payments the money does them
little good.
The protests against th* change have
been general, and this leads to the con
clusion that th* next legislature will
knock quarterly payments but.

Six days of good temper in every
box of Cascarets. Six days when
you feel at your best; no head
ache, no dullness. Are they worth
ten cents?
It is folly to tallc of the “laxotive habit”
The habit lies in eating the wrong sort of food, and too much
of it. And in getting (oo little exercise.
- While you do that, you must give the necessaiy help to the
bowels in some other way.
Else there is always a penalty.
Here is the way to avoid it:
Eat coarse food in moderation. Eat plenty of fruit, many green
■Vegetables. Drink no alcohol. Walk ten miles per day.
Those are Nature’s ways for keeping the bowels activo. .
The next best way is Cascarets.
Cascarets, better than anything else, supply the place of laxa
tive foods and of exercise.
They do what right living would do. And they do'it just as
gently, just as naturally. They are vegetable.
You'll need them just as long as you live in-doors, and eat rich
foods; and no longer.
Take them as you take food—when you need it. Carry o box
in your pocket, and take one Cascaret at a time. That's better than
to suffer and wait. _________
Cascarets are candy tablets. Tli-y are sold by all druggists, but never in
bulk. Be aura you gat ths genuine, with CCC on every tablet. Tbe price la

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13—Postmas-
ter Osneral Meyer’s reply to th* sen
ate's Inquiry as to why Postmaster
llllam H. Northrup, 'of Pennacolc.
Fla., was retained In office after the
senate had not only withheld Its “ad
vice and content,” but absolutely re
fused to confirm ths appointment, has
caused something like a shock In the
august upper body of congress. The
reply contained the information that
the action taken In Mr. Northrup’s case
was “according to law.”
Th* senators are now wondering
what use It Is for th* senate to reject
a nominee If ths person can go right
on holding the office.
